Kenna has lost her mother 3 months ago, she died of a cancer. Now she's a total mess, she drink a lot to forget the pain, her friends try to help her, even Bash, who she slept with before that. But she doesn't want their pity. Mary had invited her, she organizes a Party at the French Castle. When she arrives, some guards inspected her, and let her pass. Mary greets her with a smile:
-You made it Kenna! I'm so glad!
She smiles back. Her friend is very beautiful tonight, after all, she's a Queen.
-Lola, Greer, come!
Lola who wear a long pink dress welcomes her with a hug.
-I miss you Kenna, you're so beautiful.
-And you're already drunk...
-Not true...
And she laughs. Kenna smiles.
-Where's Greer?
-She's with Leith, they're dancing, Mary said, come with us, it will be fun.
She follows her friends to the dance floor. Some boys flirt with her. She likes that feeling, the feeling of desire. But, she also feels pain, she can't handle, she's not strong enough. She excuses herself to the boy with who she's talking with and goes to the bar. She orders two vodka, she needs strong alcohol. She drinks, all, with one shallow.
-Kenna, you need to stop doing that.
She turns around, it's Bash.
-What, drinking? I don't think so, thank you...
-Kenna, you're a mess...
She stays quiet, and take a sip to her other glass.
-You can't continue to live like that.
-Maybe, I don't want to live...
Bash seems worried, so he invites her to dance, but she declines, she doesn't want to have fun, she just want to drink.
-Please Kenna, I'm worried. You need to move on.
Now, she's angry at him, why he doesn't understand.
-It's not like my boyfriend has ditch me Bash, my mum is dead.
And she leaves. He doesn't follow her, good. She takes the stairs, opens a door, and an other, she walks into the corridor, and opens and other door, an other stair, an other door. She knows where she want to be. She opens the door of the wine cellar. Nobody was inside, maybe there is camera, but she doesn't care, she just needs to drink.
When she was on the verge to open a second bottle, someone comes into the room, she tries to get up, but she can't, she's too drunk.
-Good evening Miss Beaton.
It's the King, King Henry the second. She tries to bow him but she fails, and falls on his arm.
-Careful, sweetheart.
Sweetheart, she loves that nickname.
-Your majesty, I'm so sorry, I didn't want to...
-Hush...
He puts a finger on her lips. He looks at her, with no pity, just kindness...
-I'm sorry about your mother, Francis told me, him and Mary are worried about you.
-They don't have to...
She 's still on his arm, she feels great, she doesn't want him to leave her.
-You'll gonna be okay, I promise.
And he kisses her. The sense is so good, his lips are perfect, but she wants more, and so does he. He unzips her dress, and now, she's naked, so she rips his shirt.
-I like it, you're a real tigress.
-I just want you into me , right now, your Majesty.
-If it's your wish, love.
Kenna wakes up, it's early, but she can't sleep anymore. She hadn't seen Bash for 2 weeks now. She said to him that she was busy, and didn't have time to be his fake girlfriend. But yesterday, he called her, he talked to Mary, and apparently, she's agreed to meet her. So, Kenna is stressed.
Kenna comes into the restaurant where Mary's waiting for her, but like she is the Queen of Scotland and the future Queen of France, there are journalists, and Kenna can't avoid them.
-Miss Beaton, how the affair with King Henry 's doing?
-Is it true that he ditch you? Says an other journalist.
-No, please stop, let me go...
And the Queen helps.
-Stop, she says.
-Queen Mary, there are some rumors that one of your closest friend has an affair with your fiancé, do you deny it?
-Is it you Miss Beaton?
-No! Kenna protests.
Kenna feels suddenly bad, because she knows the truth, and she can't tell to her Queen, she promised Lola, she can't betray her.
-Come Kenna, Mary says. I'm sorry for that.
They sit in the restaurant. They can see the journalists still waiting outside.
-When do they stop?
-Oh, come on Kenna, remember you wanted to be one of them, said Mary sarcastically.
-Yes, but not, an harasser.
-So how are you?
-Fine, but I miss you.
Mary orders some wine.
-Yes, Bash told me.
Kenna doesn't know what to answer, it's seems that her friend doesn't want to be here, with her.
-And I also know, that the two of you are dating.
-He told you?
-No, but Lola did, she's the one who convinced me to meet you.
The waitress brings their order.
-Thank you, for coming.
-It's not for you actually, it's for Sebastian, you can't play with him, he's not a boy- toy.
Kenna is sad, so Mary is not ready to forgive her and moreover she thinks she's a slut who sleeps with boy for fun.
-Why do you care? It's not your problem after all, you choose Francis, not him.
-Kenna, you don't understand, you destroyed my family, you can't continue to do this.
-I thought we were friends.
-No, not anymore, you betrayed me.
-But I didn't want to hurt you, Mary, Kenna defends, I needed you, but you, and the others, didn't understand, there were pity on your eyes, not on the King's...
-He was married, Kenna, you're so stupid, he's the King, my fiancé's father.
-We were in love.
Mary drink her wine.
-I thought we were, actually, for him, it was just sex.
-God Kenna! Stop that, you're not the victim, okay!
Kenna stays quiet, she doesn't want to add something more. Mary looks at her, with anger.
-You have to break up with Bash, today!
-What?
-You hear me, Kenna, you can't hurt Bash too.
-No, no way, I won't listen to you, like you said I'm not your friend anymore.
Kenna is not Bash's girlfriend, and she's not in love with him, but she doesn't want to give satisfaction to Mary, not after what she said to her.
-Yes, but I'm still your Queen, and this is a command.
-What, you can't command me!
And Mary looses her temper, she yells at her, but Kenna doesn't give out.
-You can't sleep with him too!
-Oh for that it's too late, I already did, twice, Kenna confesses with anger.
-What! You're just a... SLUT!
Mary's words hurts her more than anything...
-You think I wasn't hurt, she cried, but I was, and I still am, I killed my baby!
She doesn't want to say that, she doesn't want to tell Mary, not like that, Lola was the only one to know.
-What?
-I'm sorry Mary, for everything, I'll make sure you will never see me again.
Then she leaves a confused Queen.
3 days later, Kenna reads the newspaper. They know.
"According to Mary Queen of Scots, her former Lady, Kenna Beaton is a slut.", "Kenna Beaton the King's whore killed the King's bastard son/daughter or perhaps the son/daugther of the King's son bastard "
"Kenna and Bash have an affair" "Kenna slept with two man, with royal blood".
Kenna can't bear it, she threw it on the fire and look at it burn. Someone knocks on the door. She opens it, Bash. He seems angry.
-Is it true?
He shows her the newspaper.
-What?
-Did you kill my baby?
Kenna closes the door, but Bash doesn't move.
-Yours, or the King's.
Bash sighs.
-No Kenna, you're wrong, it was mine.
-How could you possibly know?
-Because, after the death's of Catherine and my father's twins, Emone and Henriette, my father did a vasectomy, he can't have children anymore.
Kenna sighs, she feels stupid and sad, how can her life become so complicated.
-It was a hard decision Bash, and now, I have to live with it.
-And, why you didn't tell me?
-You were in love with Mary, and Henry didn't care about me, I was alone.
-You're so selfish! You killed a baby!
-Yes I know! Okay! I know. I think...
-You don't think, that's the problem! This is your fault, all this mess, you didn't think about repercussion, not when you slept with my father, not when you killed our baby!
-Our baby? Are you kidding me, there is no us, never, Bash, I never liked you, okay, us, these two night were a big mistake.
Bash ducks, Kenna hurts him, a lot, he thought that she liked her, that they were friends.
-I'm sorry, she says, I didn't mean it.
-No... I think you did, you know what, he starts with sorrow, it's not worth it to continue this farce, you don't have to be my fake girlfriend anymore.
-Bash...
-No, Kenna, I'm sorry, Mary was right, I was just a toy to you.
He slams the door and Kenna cries.
Let me reviews ! Thank you for your reviews it's very kind, and advises for my English, It's still suck, but I hope you'll enjoy my story. So what do you thinks, Bash is in love with Kenna, but he doesn't know about he baby, will he forgive her even if it's not sure that he's the father.
