Mhpropp16- haha, Matthew might be dead, but at least there's a cute relationship! ;) Thanks for the review and the nice compliments!

T- I'm glad my characters have grown on you! That makes me feel like my story is worth something! Thank you so much! I'm so happy you like my story! Thanks for the review!

Guest- okay, 1.) When did I say that Matthew was dead? 2.) Yeah, April being with Nat is wrong. That's the point. 3.) If you don't like the way I writ my story, don't read it. Please go read something you like! I don't want you to read something you hate. I appreciate your input, though! Opinions are important, so thanks for expressing yours!

My knees feel weak. I feel like I could drop to the ground. And I do. My knees finally give in and I just fall down on my butt. Nat helps me stand up, takes my hand, and we bolt out the door. I run so fast that I almost fall down so many times going down the stairs. But I manage to keep going. He could still be okay. He could still be okay. I keep thinking to myself. We finally reach Dad's office.

"April," Dad says. "I'm so sorry this happened."

"Is he okay?" I realize that I'm crying. I guess I have been for a while.

"We don't know yet. We're waiting to hear from the medical team." Dad says. He wraps me in an embrace.

Is this karma? Is this God punishing me? Why would this happen to me? Why did it have to happen to Matthew? Why wasn't it me?

We wait in Dad's office for three hours before we hear any news. A guard finally comes in with news.

"Your majesty, we have an update on Prince Matthew." He says.

"What is it, Officer Boyd?" Dad asks.

"Prince Matthew is uninjured. He's been air-lifted to a hospital in Midston to make sure he's okay internally." The guard says.

I sigh in relief. "When will we be able to see him?"

"He's going to be there for at least two days. We could fly you all to Midston now, or we could wait a few days to see what happens." Officer Boyd says.

Dad looks at me. "It's your call, April."

I think for a moment. "When can we leave?"
