Arabella POV
The club was perfection last night. I loved it. I woke up this morning with a massive headache. I didn't drink though. Chuck got hammered. He kind of tried to get me to have sex with him but it didn't happen. I ran a hand through my hair and turned on my TV.
There was a knock on my bedroom door. I glared at it.
"Come in." I mumbled. The door opened and Joe came in. "Hey, I thought you had today off?" I said.
"No, your father was worried about what's going on with your cousins in Greece." He said. I looked up at him.
"I see in no way how this concerns us." I said.
"He worries about you. Your mom almost got assisanated once. He doesn't want a repeat." He said coming and sitting next to my bed.
"I'm safe."
"Because he forces you to be. If he had any clue of what happened last night then you would have your windows boarded up and twenty guards following you."
"Ugh, Daddy needs to calm down. I'm a big girl." I tossed in the bed.
"I know but you have a party to come to." He ruffled my hair. I crinkled my nose.
"I think I'm going to skip."
"You wouldn't get out of this unless you got sick." I got a sly smile. "I'm not helping you get sick." He stated. I pouted and slid out of bed. An outfit was laid out for me. Joe turned around when I changed. When I finished he turned back around. When I finished I went down to the room where the crowns are held. There were four. My mom's and my dad's in the middle, mine next to my mom's and my brother's next to my dad's.
One of the beefy guards opened my case. They carefully took out my crown and placed it on my head. Joe stood a little bit closer to me. It's like he's invisibly handcuffed to me whenever I'm wearing this or any of the other royal jewels. I went out of the room and to one of the kitchens. I swiped a cupcake and Joe shook his head. I smirked and kept going through looking for food. Once some guys were holding a few trays and one hit me. My crown fell of my head. Before it clattered against the ground Joe grabbed it.
"I'm so sorry princess." The guy with the tray said.
"It's fine." I said. Joe placed the crown ontop of my head. He lead me out of the kitchen and to the lobby of the castle.
"We are staying here until your parents arrive." He said.
"Okay." I said. We stood in silence for a little while. Zach came to the lobby. He looked about as excited as me. Mom and Dad came down the stairs.
"Best behaviour. Got it?" Dad said looking at Zach.
"Yes Daddy." I said.
"Sure." Zach said. We all went out to the garden. Things were set up everywhere. People were all around. Officals and wealthy people. I sighed and just stood on the side. People came up to me and we did the whole 'fake kiss and handshake' crap. I sighed and picked at some fruit. Dad and Mom were making speeches.
"Boo." Someone said behind me. Zach. I jumped and fell on my ass. People stared at me. This actually doesn't embarrass me but I can pretend like it does. I got up and ran inside the castle. I ran to a safety room just incase the castle is attacked and locked myself in. I took a deep breath and collapsed down onto a couch. I stared at the ceiling. No one's really going to think to look for me here and they won't find it because no security cameras around here. I stood up and went to the mini kitchenette, grabbed a water bottle from the fridge and a bag of crips from a cabinet. I think I like this better than being with a bunch of stuffy rich people.
Zachary POV
My sister's such a baby. She could have gotten over the whole falling thing but she had to make a big scene about it. Mom's face slightly paled but she kept calm.
"Their's nothing to stare at, now turn around." Dad said. Everyone did. Dad started talking again. I slid out my phone and put on my headphones. I saw a girl roll her eyes. I smirked and walked over to her. She's a Princess of Malta. I took off my headphones.
"Hi Brie." I said.
"Hello." She said coldly.
"Is something wrong?" I asked.
"I don't like you." She said. I laughed a little. She rolled her eyes again and then walked away. I followed.
"So why are you here?" I asked.
"My parents have a meeting with yours after this." She said.
"Oh so you'll be here all day?" I said.
"Sadly yes." She said.
"Aw well you can stay with me."
"No thanks." She walked away from me again. I like her and I like a chase.
