Just an idea I had after watching the Royal's over the past two days :-) Hope you enjoy and please let me know your thoughts, not sure whether to make it a one-shot or if I should continue :-) No Copyright Intended!

Chapter 1

Eleanor's Point of View

I was in my room happily smoking my cigarettes when I was rudely interrupted. A security detail I didn't recognise burst in and carried me down through the tunnels and into the panic room. Despite my struggles and questions he neither spoke nor released me. Instead he opened the panic room door and tossed me inside like a doll closing the door once I was inside.

"What the hell? Let me out!" I screamed as I banged the door with my fists.

"I'm afraid I can't do that Princess, King's orders." The security detail replied.

After that I watched him leave on the camera's monitor. I couldn't believe what was happening, all I could think was 'Why the hell is my dad doing this?' It wasn't until I collapsed onto the sofa did I realise I wasn't alone. Someone was in the bedroom.

"Whose there?" I called out.

At first I didn't get a response and the she appeared. Dressed to kill, makeup done to perfection, lip-gloss shining and hair curled was none other than my mother.

"Seriously?" I complained as my mother walked over and sat down next to me.

"My thoughts exactly." She remarked sarcastically.

I moved away from her as she sat down. A silence fell as we sat alone in each other's company.

"Why? Why is dad doing this?" I eventually asked, breaking the silence.

"If I knew that do you think I would be here?" She snapped.

I glared at her before getting up and storming into the bedroom. I don't know how much time passed before mom came in after me.

"What do you want?" I sighed.

"Are you hungry?" She asked.

I was shocked, well speechless really. I didn't know if she was being serious so I just sat and stared.

"Jesus, Eleanor it isn't a hard question to answer." She barked.

"Um…..yes…." I trailed off, still confused.

"Ok then, well I'm making dinner. So come out." She said.

I hesitantly followed her to the tiny kitchen where sure enough she was making dinner. I sat down at the island while mom went over to whatever she had in the pots.

"I didn't know you could cook." I said absent-mindedly.

"There is a lot you don't know about me." She replied as she sat down opposite me.

It was strange, I wasn't used to being so close to her for so long. Let alone being in a room alone with her without fighting seconds after seeing each other.

"Like what?" I asked, suddenly intrigued.

"Like my ability to cook for one." Mom said with a smile.

"Well there is number two." I gasped.

Mom looked at me confused.

"Didn't know you could smile, well a genuine smile that is." I smirked.

Mom laughed in response, bringing the total to number three. I hadn't heard her laugh in years.

"Well there you have it, you learnt something new. Now tell me something I don't know about you?" Mom suggested.

"I take drugs." I replied.

Mom arched her eyebrow and stared at me.

"Unfortunately I know that. However now that you have brought it up why?" She asked.

"Why what?" I questioned.

Mom sighed in slight annoyance.

"Why do you take drugs?" She clarified.

I shrugged in response.

"I was the spare to the spare, now I am the spare to the heir. Nobody gives a shit what I do. I am given money, whatever I want really and sent off. I mean we haven't spoken more than 3 sentences in years. Your reputation and the Monarchy image are so much more important." I hissed.

I could see moms eyes fill up, something that shocked me. She looked away and went over to the cooker where she tried to hide the fact she was wiping her tears away.

"I'm sorry. I didn't realise what I was doing to you. I put so much effort into protecting the Monarchy and now that your father is threatening to end all of this…..I just…..I'm finally realising that I should have been spending time with you." She admitted.

I didn't know how to respond I just sat there dumb founded. It wasn't until mom passed me my dinner that I realised she was been serious. She wasn't being bitchy or complaining about my lack of response, she was waiting for me to take in what she said.

"I forgive you." I finally found myself saying.

Mom looked at me and I could see she was genuinely happy as she smiled.

"Thank-you Eleanor, I promise I will be different. No matter what happens my kids come first from now on." She assured me.

I nodded in response and returned the smile that was long over due.

Just as I did the door to the panic room opened and in came dad and Liam.

"See son, I told you this would work." I heard dad say as they approached us.

"Ladies I hope there is enough for us." Dad grinned.

However mom stood up and shooed them both out.

"Mother, daughter time boys. I'm afraid you're on your own. Come back in the morning we can do breakfast." She said as she pushed them out and closed the door again.

"Your up for this right?" She asked hesitantly.

I couldn't help but laugh as I nodded in agreement.

"Yes I am, you have no idea how much I am in need of this." I grinned…..
