Lucien's POV
"What's wrong princess you've been quiet all day?"
"Do you think I would hurt you?" she asked
"Intentionally no, impulsively yes." I shrugged
"Thanks for being honest." she frowned then grabbed her bag and left in the middle of class ignoring our teacher
I wanted to chase after her but my uncle would murder me for skipping again. I didn't wanna piss him off now because he'd kick my ass. He doesn't like my parents and it always puts him in a shitty mood when they're gonna visit. I'm not trying to get grounded or lectured
After class ended I went to look for her
I saw Londyn walking
"Hey have you seen princess?" I asked
"Do I look like her fucking keeper?" she snapped
"You're right my mistake." I walked away
What the fuck was that?
I know she always helps out in the library so I headed that way
I started looking around but the library was honestly huge
"Are you looking for a sad Louise?" the tiny librarian asked
"Yeah. How did you know she was sad?"
"She told me."
"Really?" I was surprised
"Yes for the most part she's an open book. If you ask how she's feeling she answers honestly. She's all the way in the back corner near the romance section. Just ask." she smiled
"Thank you."
I walked in the direction she pointed in and saw her hugging her knees
"Princess why are you sad?" I asked
"Because you think I'll hurt you. I wouldn't."
"Why did you ask that?"
"Londyn stopped taking her bipolar meds and she was having a manic episode. I tried to hug her cause I could see she was hurting and she flinched away. She's never flinched at me." she frowned
"Princess she's not herself. She didn't mean it."
"She wouldn't have flinched if I was Liam or Lucas."
"You don't know that." I hugged her
"Something is wrong and she won't tell me. She was acting weird about hanging out with Jared then she came home sick to her stomach."
"You don't think she's pregnant?" I asked
"What of course not. Londyn would never do anything to disappoint dad. She's his favorite after all."
"Maybe he did something to her?"
"As if Londyn is too strong to fall to a boy."
"She's not herself don't dismiss this." I told her seriously
"She doesn't want my help and I'm tired of getting hurt by them. I know it's selfish but it hurts every time they say something. Flinching hurts even more. It hurts that I make them scared."
I didn't know what to say "This Jared dude seemed suspicious as fuck" without upsetting her
"Princess, she needs you?"
"I've known Jared since I was 7 he knows better than to try something."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes now drop it!"
