The words come out fast, and I'm happy that I said them Even if he is going to kick me out, I'm just glad thats he will be able to know that he is rude and a big jerk. I don't care if he even kills me for this, but I'm happy that I said all of this. I just wish that I could say more, but the look the Prince gives me makes me want to take the words away as well. I'm happy that I proved that he wasn't as great as he thought he was, but now I'm sad, because I just saw that the Prince has a nice side to him.I feel like a bad person.
" So is that how you really feel?" Prince Matthew's voice is kind of shaky.
" I don't know." I look down at my dress, trying not to look at the hurt in his eyes.
" Please... tell me."
I stop for a moment. I don't know what to say. I want to tell him more of what I think of him, but that will hurt him more than I already have. " I don't know. You have never been that good of a prince, a brother. I just don't know what to think. What would you be like to your wife? What do you even look for?" My voice is shaking but I don't care.
" There is a reason that I act the way I do." he stops and I look at him as a tear slides down his cheek. " After what happened to Iris, she started to change all of us. I hide my fear and sadness with my anger and rudeness, or for the fact of who my grandfather is. Damon hides his sadness with joy, and mother and father have to be strong for the country."
" I'm... I'm sorry, I didn't know about that."
Prince Matthew laugh a bit, but it sound as if he is trying hard not to cry. " Why are you here Clary?" His words scare me for some reason. I may not like him, but I still feel something for him, to want to tell him the truth. The only thing that I feel for him is pity. I pity the fact that he has to side his sadness with this. People would like him more if he was like this. If he showed more emotions, cried once in a while.
" My family." I almost chock on my own words.
" What about them?" he says with a sly smile.
" I'm a Six. My family doesn't have enough money to fee us, so I though that if you would let me stay here, they would be able to get more money, more food, and would be able to survive for a bit longer. I just want the all to be safe. The are everything to me just like Iris and you family is to you."
" But you've screwed up haven't you?"
He's right. I did screw things up. He is going to let me go, and I'm going to have to tell my family what happened. Why I said all of this and why he was letting me go.
" Well, I can't just let a girl bye." I look up for a moment. Hope fills my heart for a moment. Was he really going to let me stay here? Maybe Prince Matthew wasn't as bad as I expected him to be. Maybe he isn't an ass, and maybe he does have a ear somewhere. I just have to keep on with my hope.
" Will you let me stay?" I ask with a wide smile.
" I'll let you stay, but you have to promise that no one will know about this, and do NOT expect me to be nice to you Clary." Prince Matthew says.
" Thank you." I say with a smile.
" Now, get out of here." he's back to his dull self again.
I do as he says without a second though and make my way back to Eve and Annabeth who are giving me a strange look. I shake my head, telling them that nothing bad has happened, and to my surprise, they give me a small smile each. I'm glad that I have them, because if I do get kicked out, I just hope that one of the, or Lynn get's the crown. Almost everyone of the girls is nice, but I just don't know what they are fighting for. Do they want the prince, or do the want the crown?
Prince Matthew gets up and makes his way to us, and some of the girls giggle. He gives a smile, and I can tell who the smile is for. Next to me is Eve, and Prince Matthew is smiling right at her, and then to Annabeth, Lynn, Carly and so on, He goes to everyone, and the he stops at me, with a cocky smile which ames me laugh.
" All of you lady's tat I asked to stay, just stat seated, and you others may go to the dining area." he says.
We make our leave, and there are ten girls that stay. I haven't met any of them. I wonder why they are staying.
" Do you know what's happening?" I ask.
" They are getting sent home." Carly and Lynn say at the same time.
" Ten of the?" Eve asks.
" It must be a Prince Matthew thing." I say.
Sorry, I know this was bad, but I will make sure to make the next chapter better. Oh, ad can you guys make an OC for my Percy Jackson Fanfic? Thanks xoxo Teresa
