Royally heartbroken

Chapter one

Regret, a not so pleasant feeling I could never get rid of. A shadow that crept around me every chance it could get.
It wasn't easy,but I didn't have a choice now,did I? I could feel the familiar onslought of tears clouding my vision but I blinked them away.

Every day I regretted leaving the way I did but I couldn't think of any better option. Every passing second I wondered how he took the news of my departure. Did he miss me as much as I missed him. A part of me believed that what we shared was something real and deep and that part hurt the most . Knowing that I won't get to spend eternity with him for reasons that weren't entirely my deciding broke my heart all over again.

I didn't hear the knock on the door or when she let herself in my room. My mom was a beautiful woman, no doubt about that. Her midnight black hair cascanded down just below her shoulders in waves. Adorning a floral casual blue dress,she looked as elegant as always. The same couldn't be said for me though...spralwed across the covers in my pathetic pity wallowing self I probably looked like a mess. And I could tell from how her usual warm blue eyes stared at me sadly.

''Ley? You know you have to get ready for school darling, we can't have your dad yelling at you for being late now can we?''
Ever since I got back from keldive high my mum could tell that something was wrong with me , and Everytime she tried to ask what happened I always evaded that topic. But that only made her tip toe around me , handling me with such care, like some fragile thing that she thought was gonna break any time and I hated it.

I hated feeling this pathetic, this vulnerable, feeling like I was no longer in control of my own body or anything that happened in my life anymore which wasn't so far from the truth.
''am going to get ready mom, be down in a few."
''Don't be long darling , breakfast is being served."
I just gave a simple nod and slowly dragged my self to the bathroom adjacent to my room. I learned against the door letting the sound of my mom closing my door and her footsteps fading down the stairs distract me from my thoughts.

I robotically went through my morning routines and slowly got ready for school. As I descended the stairs I couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if I told him about my predicament.
'Riiiiiiiiight ,' a voice in my head dwandled, 'as if anyone would really believe some crap about an arranged marriage planned by long dead grandparents .'

" Nice of you to finally Join us son." Said my father as soon as I settled my self on a chair around the dining table.
"Good morning to you too dad." I answered with an eye roll. I could feel him glarring daggers at my head and my mum giving me the usual sympathetic stare but I ignored the both of them.

There was a variety of breakfast goodies assorted on the table to choose from but I didn't have it in me to eat anything but I placed some toast on my plate anyway.
To say my family was rich would be practically the understatement of the year..we basically screamed of old money.

"You know you have to eat something right?" My father said effectively snapping me out of my thoughts." I mean,the prince wouldn't appreciate his bride being too scrawny now would he?" The bastard made sure to remind me about the god forsaken prince every chance he could get.

"Why the f*ck should I care about impressing some damned prince I have never even met because you want to suck it up to the king huh papa?" I snapped standing up abruptly but my father remained unfazed.

"We've had this conversation way too many times young man that am no longer willing to lose my breath spelling it out to you" he stated calmly standing up , " this marriage was my father's wish and ain't willing to live with some long ass curse simply because my idiotic son isn't willing to follow through with it."
"But am a guy papa, you don't Know for sure if this guy is gay or if I am either." I could feel the tears stinging my eyes but I painfully held them back.

We had had this argument waay too many times that I knew its was pleading a dead course. And yeah am not out to my family yet, I would act straight if that's what it took to get out of this marriage

"The king doesn't care if you both are guys and neither do I. So you're going to graduate the f* ck out of highschool though it totally escapes my mind why you left Keldive,the best school there is, and after graduation you are going back to Oakwood kingdom and meet you fiancee. Am done sitting back and watching you both have your way with everything, it my time now."
He practically yelled glaring at my mum and I before stomping to God knows where in this f* cking huge mansion.

Maa had tears trailing down her cheeks but before she could say anything to me I stormed out of the house( if you could call it that, this place is f*cking huge) furiously wiping my tears away.

Time to face another hell.
School.
