A.N You know, I would just like to say that I have been totally BLOWN away with the feedback from this story. It means so much to me that all of you A/J fans love this story. It means a lot to me that I can write such a story that so many people enjoy. It also pleases me much when an A/G person says that they love the A/J-ness of this fic. I really feel like I'm doing a good job when I get reviews like that. Or ones telling me that I am a wonderful author. I feel so honored and loved when I read reviews like those because this what I want to do when I'm older. I want to write books of fantasy and romance. It's my dream! All right, enough of the sentimental chitchat, it's making my eyes tear up. *wipes eyes* Thank you, all!

This is such a short chapter that it's embarrassing, but I want to here lots of comments about the fight, so that's why it was ended where it was.

Chapter 8
Alanna rushed into her room, red with anger. How dare he! How dare he assume that she loved him when that was obviously not the case! She could never love a selfish, arrogant prick like him. He always assumed things! He never thought he was wrong! Well, he was wrong and this time he would not forget it. That was a promise.
She could not stay here. Not where Jonathan was. Not as long as he was here would she stay. She grabbed a bag and some clothes and tossed them in. An undergarment fell out. Alanna grabbed it up and tore it to pieces, pretending it was Jon.
After she had gotten at least half of her things packed in their proper bags, she broke down crying. The tears that should've fallen long before came tumbling out to no end. She felt like she would cry her life away and live forever in despair. She wiped her eyes on the royal bedsheets. There, now Jonathan would know how much pain he had caused her.
She grabbed two of her bags and carried them to the door. She found a page and ordered for a carriage to take her home. She didn't even trust herself to ride a horse all the way home. Better to employ someone to take her home than be caught off guard while crying about a fight with her ex.
"Ma, what are you doing?" Alianne was standing by the door as Alanna grabbed the last of her bags and handed one to the young man who would drive the carriage that she was taking home.
"I'm going home, Ali," she said stiffly.
"Why? What happened?"
"Nothing," she replied, walking out of the room.
"Mother, it's not like you to run from a tricky situation. How can you leave? How can you leave me here by myself? What about the wedding? You have to stay here with me," Alianne pleaded.
"I have no other reason to stay. Write me when the wedding is going to commence."
"Mother, please."
"No." Alanna stepped into the carriage and shut the door.
"Mother, it's not fair," Alianne said.
"It never is," was the reply as the carriage sped away, causing the dust to cover Alianne from head to toe.
"Ma..." Tears slid down Alianne's face.
***
"What do you mean she left?" Jonathan asked.
"Father, she left a few hours ago. Upset, Alianne said. Ali begged her not to go, but she did," Liam told.
Jon put his head in his hands, wishing once more that he could keep his mouth shut. "It's my fault," he said to his hands.
"What?"
"It's my fault," he repeated.
"What'd you do to her?" Liam accused.
"I-I made some accusations," he replied softly. "They weren't that bad. But coming from me, I suppose they were. I wish I could take it back."
"I don't know how you can, but Ali's very upset. Her mother's never left like this. She didn't even ride out herself. She took a carriage and a driver with her."
Jonathan stood up. "She did? She didn't ride on horseback?"
"No," Liam replied. "Why?"
"We can still catch her then." Jonathan ran from his study to the stables.
***
"I'm sorry, Majesty, but I can't allow you to leave. Only if it was a matter of extreme peril. You said so yourself, Majesty. 'Unless in times of great peril, one monarch should be at the palace at all times.' And Queen Thayet was called out to the Riders two hours ago," the guard said. The guard didn't say any more, he knew when to keep quiet.
"Blast," Jon muttered to himself. Then to the guard, he said, "Thank you for reminding me. Though I believe it was
Thayet who made that rule."
*********
Thankees to:
Chopstix*: I was going to wait, but I guess not. Anyway, I know you don't want them to fight. Neither do I, but they're angry at each other. Check that, she's angry at him. Jon loves her. Course he's married to Thayet. We shall just have to see if all ends happily ever after for all of the lovers.
Princess Alanna Cooper: LOL.
Dracos Myth: I'm working! I just got stuck! And not to mention the fact that I was suspended and as I write this I probably am STILL suspended.
Queenofilangees: That is a cute part! Poor meek Jon! That's interesting with your name. Kinda weird, but we all are anyway, so what does it matter?
Jossie: Okay I will! Ah, I shall email you as soon as I get this posted whenever that is. I was suspended, you know. From uploading on ff.net. You must HOPE that they get back together! *evil cackles*
Lady Tarillyn: L. M. A. O.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, you will not find any goodness here because it seems to easy if they make up right away and it wouldn't be like them. This is more like them. I hate homework. It should die!!! I don't wanna be chased by a bull dozer!!! *sobs*
Shelly Salmalin: *sniffle* It's not?? *sobs*
Rose: LOL! I'm trying!
White-wolf: Cool!
bec: I am!!
Cami of Queenscove: Alanna/Joren??? YOU SICK TWISTED PERSON!!!! No offence, btw. Longer chapters don't work for me when I'm stuck and trying to write all these chapters because I'm getting complaints. This is the third chapter that I've written today. I still have to work on TBB and Survivor and Aladdin: Tortallan Style and MAYBE Love Unannounced. *pants* Love Unannounced is going to take me forever.
Keita: LOL
Lady Arianna: It is!
StarFire: She did! Shame on her!! Well, Thayet and Jon aren't having a good marriage so they can get a divorce. And for some reason George hasn't returned from business so we all wonder.....I didn't realize that that until just now...Heheh.
Lady Lucy A/J 4ever: I didn't get the pictures because my computer doesn't handle ZIP files. It's messed up. Yes, I am enthusiastic.
Aimzy-chan: Cool name! Cool review! Cool!!
veralidaine: Thank you. You know, I find that is one of the hardest concepts of fanfics..Keeping the characters in character. That can be so hard.
geminigrl87: Yay! Go me!! J/k. Read Lady Lucy A/J 4ever's fics. She's good with A/J too! My inspiration. Jon is romantic. That's what I love about it.
Pata: It's okay. I don't mind. And let's see...Yes, I know, bad chapter and that I am evil. I take pride is being evil. People at school call me mean and I'm like, "Thank you. I know." They MIGHT make up.
Please review. I love it when people review. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
I am going to ask for 180 reviews for this chapter. I know it seems like a lot, but I know you can do it!!
