This is just the prologue because I wanted to give you guys the feel of the story, just to see how you reacted before I actually continued with the chapters. This is an obvious future fic, involving the relationship between Carter and Rosie. It's femslash, but I suppose you guys already knew that since I've been waiting Demi and Selena together for like a year and half now. (:
Summary: Carter was so much more than simply just 'bait girl', in Rosie's eyes. Now she is the wife of the queen of Costa Luna. But where does loyalty stand when true love is tested?
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters, I am simply borrowing them from their original storyline. Nothing was profited from this creation.
"You are not even listening to me!" She raises her voice at me, pushing her fingers through her hair as an aggravated shriek escapes from her lips. My only reaction was to roll my eyes, how could stand there and tell me that I wasn't listening to her?! She was the one who brushed away everything that I was saying like I was some type of idiot, she was the one who thought that I was just being jealous and insecure. I heard every word that she said to me, every word that she said to Emily, even the ones that she didn't say and those were the ones that hurt the most.
"Why should I?! It's not like you are listening to me!" I yell back, turning my head to the side as my hand curves perfectly at my waist. I felt the tears forming in my dark eyes but I refuse them to fall, she wasn't going to break me down, I was not about to let her have the satisfactory of seeing me cry once again. This fight had occurred one to many times, and every single time that she raises her voice to me, the tears start rolling down my cheeks and we both simply brush this off as two raging tempers saying things that we didn't mean. But I was not about to give into her this time, I wasn't about to let my stupid feelings get in the way of me standing up for myself.
"You are not being fair! She is just trying to help me control my country, she has done no wrong! She has done nothing for you to behave this way toward her, she has been there for me more than you have lately, so do not stand here and tell me about how horrible she is or how she is trying to manipulate me into giving up my country. Maybe you are just jealous, because she certainly has no interest in me, she is simply doing what she was hired to do!" She exclaims, her voice growing louder and my heart twists in my chest. She has always referred to Costa Luna as our country ever since she lived with us, but it was suddenly quite clear that she had already drawn the line separating me from her life. I stare down at my converses, the tears suddenly breaking free from the dam I thought I had built in my eyes and I hear her let out a saddened sigh. I look up at her, through the tears in my eyes and I can't help but wonder was this what was always destined for the two of us.
"And I am just trying to save ourmarriage!" I replied, stepping toward her and suddenly there is silence. Neither one of us dare to speak, instead her dark brown eyes collide with my own and I can't breathe. My chest expands in search of oxygen as I dare not to break the gaze, my heart racing erratically in my chest. There was always something about her that made me let her back in, that made me let my walls down and forgive her the instant that she stepped into the room. Yet this time it wasn't about something as simple as her forgetting to call, or showing up a hour late for our dinner, this time she betrayed us and our vows.
"Do not do this, Carter. Do not make me choose between you and Emily," She pleads, gnawing on her bottom lip softly as she shook her head. It doesn't take long before she breaks our gaze and she stares absently at the golden band that I had placed on her finger a few months before. We stood in front of God and every body and promised that we would love each other until death do us part, that we would love no other and put nothing first but each other. Was it a lie then just as it was now? I chuckle as I sniffle hard, licking my dry lips before I spoke.
"Why? Because you would pick Emily and Costa Luna over me?" I ask with a playful snort but she says nothing. Instead of her telling me that she would never do that, saying that I was the best thing that ever happened to her and she would never ever betray me for Emily or this country, she allows the silence to fall around us in crashing, heart breaking, waves. Finally, she glances up at me, the tears in her eyes and I can't help but allow a sick chuckle to escape from my lips; I was more than grateful it wasn't a sob.
"God, you actually would, wouldn't you? You would chose Emily and this stupid island over your damn wife! Ha, why am I not surprised? It's not like you have given yourself fully to this marriage from the beginning, Costa Luna has always been between us and I don't know why I thought I could change that! You want this damn island and herso bad? Well fine! You know what, Rosalinda?! You can have them. You can have this country, you can have Emily, you can have it all! Take my ring, take my crown, take everything that I own because I do not want a damn thing to do with you anymore. As far as I am concerned this marriage is over, I'll tell the people that I am stepping down as their queen and Emily will take over. And when this all blows up in your face and you see Emily for what she really is, you are going to wish that you listened to me, but it's going to be just a little too late! You chose this so I hope that you are happy," I exclaimed, pulling my ring off as I threw it at her, watching as she flinches at the sudden action. She stares at me in complete surprise as my face crumbles and the sobs erupt from my lips, "I loved you with my whole heart, but that was never enough for you, was it?" I cry as I turn to leave, but her fingers wrap around my wrist and she pulls me back to her, hard. I shake my head as I face her, noticing the tears that were spilling down her own perfect cheeks and I wish that it was enough to make me forgive her.
"Carter, wait. Please do not do this," She pleads and I simply shake my head, pulling away from her.
"I'm tired of waiting, Rosie. I shouldn't have to come second to this island, I shouldn't have to beg you to believe me that Emily is trying to manipulate you into giving this island to her, I shouldn't have to fight to have you on my side. You are my wife, that should count more than anything. When it does, come find me. I'll be waiting for you," I whispered, kissing her softly upon the cheek, smiling as I walked away. I listened to her shaky breaths as I closed the door behind me, cupping my hand over my mouth as I fell to the floor in sobs. How could this happen to us?
