Tied to the prince *Complete*

Chapter 19

Ava's Pov

Breathe Ava, breathe...everything will be just fine. But it's not going to be, the letter on my hand was living proof of this.

Why was I being threatened, what did I do to deserve this. Not trying to blame my mom, but the only reason I was in this situation was because of her.

Not all of it was bad, I guess I got to experience some things people would die for. I got to see one of the most breathtaking palaces in the world. Meet the queen and king, and unexpectedly Thomas who wasn't some rich snobby prince like I expected him to be.

I kind of maybe happened to like him.

But I never deserved all of this, I never deserved to be pulled away from my home by my controlling mother to get engaged to a prince. And I especially didn't deserve for someone named X to threaten me.

Pushing my thoughts to the side I look up, only to see Thomas eyes watching me carefully, there's a hint of sadness deep within his eyes.

I notice his eyes are about to fall on the letter on my hand. I put the letter back into the envelope and carefully hide it in the diary where it was.

I probably should Thomas, this is a threat to me. I would be best if I told him.

But then again the letter did say not to tell anyone. It would be even better to wait a few days before I actually do anything.

My mother's voice breaks me out of my thoughts "This is such a mess."

I nod, and want to sit down I'm feeling a bit dizzy but, all the furniture I would sit in is ruined.

Thomas is quietly looking at, his numerous trophies that have been destroyed. I can't see his face but from his body language he's probably devastated.

He bends down to pick one up and in a quiet voice says "I remember I was fourteen when I got this trophy, I had finally made the school basketball team. And for the first time ever all the practice I had done for the last few months, all the work I put in during the summer had paid off. My team had finally won, we won the championship game and I the lousy little prince, they liked to call me, had made the most shots. Everyone was so proud of me, I was so proud of myself. And when the coach handed me that trophy. I felt like I was on top of the world, I was so proud of myself I had finally showed them I wasn't the lousy little prince. I had showed them that I could be more than a nerdy little prince. But now it's all gone."

Picking up the clump of the crushed trophy he throws it against the already cracked down and with a crackling sound. The whole window shatters and the trophy flies out and down to who know where.

Well fuck.

I slowly walk over to Thomas and take his hand "you need to calm down, Thomas it was just a trophy you still have the memories no one can take that from you."

He shakes his hand away from and storms out of the room, without a backward glance. Watching his retreating figure I can't help but be sad. I was only trying to help.

My mom carefully comes over and says "Ava, why don't you go somewhere, you look like you need a break, I'll stay here and watch over this mess."

I nod, my head and I'm about to leave the room and just as I'm exiting I collide into Thomas's chest.

He came back inside, his large hands wrap around my small form stopping me from falling to the ground.

And pushing me against his warm chest.

I can't help but breathe in his wonderful scent, something like vanilla?

"You ok" he asks releasing me.

I nod and force myself to pull away from him no matter how much I don't want to. Giving me a tight smile he says "I went to get the security maybe they could find out who did this.

"It was X" I say, my face turning red.

He looks bewildered "I realize there's a X all over the room, but it doesn't necessarily mean that someone named X did this. We just have to find out what X stands for, or who it's supposed to be."

I nod again, I seem to be doing that a lot these days.

"Where are you going" he questions.

"Somewhere I can get away from all of this for a bit, I need a break" I say looking away from him.

"Can I join you" he asks with just a trace of something like vulnerability in his tone.

"Of course Thomas" I say giving a genuine smile, I can't be cold to him forever.

Not that I was really being cold.

He takes my hand and pulls me out the door.

Authors note

So where do you think there going, guess. Here's a hint it's nowhere special, just someplace a lot of people go on a everyday basis.

So who ships Ava and Thomas?

In other news, I can't find a swimming pool. 

There isn't a public one at my city. 😞

Well that's all have a good day.

I'll update soon. I know this was a bit short, but...idk I'm sorry.

At least I updated.

Bye have fun in your lives.
