Chapter 2

Finally, it's about time they let me go. I've had enough family discussions to last a lifetime. At least, they are going to let me choose my own bodyguard, and I know the perfect person. Wyatt Cain. He knows how to protect more than anyone, Glitch and Raw do too, but he protects me more. He could never let anything happen to me, that's why I love him. I just wish we could tell everyone about our relationship, but we can't. Why can't everyone let us be happy together?

"Lost in your thought again?" Cain asks. Why does he always find me when I'm lost in my thoughts?

"Yes, aren't I always?" I say.

"Usually, I'm assuming your parents had another family discussion."

"Yes."

Flashback

"DG, Azkadellia, your father and I need to discuss something with both of you." Mother says.

"What is it, mother?" Az asks concern evident in her voice.

"We think that it's for the best that DG and you have bodyguards. There are still some that resist us and they could try to hurt one of you, especially you, Azkadellia. People still do not trust you. Jeb Cain will be your bodyguard, Azkadellia. We think he will know how to protect you more than anyone and he is the only one that would accept. DG, I'm assuming that you will choose Mr. Cain.

"Yes, Mother." I say trying to hide the excitement in my voice.

"You can choose someone else if you like." Father says. Something in his eyes worried me, but I couldn't tell what it was.

"No, I want Mr. Cain to be my bodyguard. I know he'll say yes.

"Well, when you get his answer come tell your father and me."

"That's all we needed to discuss." Father says.

"May we leave?" Az and I ask at the same time.

"Yes, but girls be careful, I do not want to lose my daughters again." Mother says.

Az and I left together. Both lost it our own thoughts.

Flashback

"DG." Cain says.

"Sorry, I was lost in thought…again." I say.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Will you be my bodyguard?"

"What?"

"My parents, they want Az and I to have bodyguards. They chose Jeb to protect Az. They assumed I would choose you, but they said I could choose someone else, but I chose you. Who else would I choose; you know how to protect me better than anyone. You would go to the end of O.Z. for me. So will you be my bodyguard?"

"Yes, you didn't even to ask."

Then he pulled me into my room. He caressed my check and kissed me. There was such passion, but so gentle at the same time. He started pushing me toward the bed until my knees hit the edge. He laid me down without cutting off our kiss. I was so lost in the moment I almost couldn't believe he stopped.

"We shouldn't be doing this, not yet." He says.

"Why not?" I ask. I want this.

"Anyone could walk in and I don't think you're ready. I don't want to take advantage of you."

"You're not taking advantage of me. I want this as much as you do. I didn't stop you."

"I know, but we need to wait."

"Fine."

"Don't be mad."

"I'm not, I just hate hiding this. I'm lying to everyone, Mother, Father, Az, Glitch, Raw, and the rest of the O.Z. The worst part is I'm making you lie to Jeb. I hate it, I wish we could just run away and be together. I don't want to be queen. Az should be queen, she grew up in the O.Z., and I didn't."

"No one will let her be queen. People in the O.Z. don't believe she was possessed by the witch. They want you as their queen, you know that's why we can't run away."

"If being queen means not being able to be with you, then I don't want it. All I care about is being with you."

"I know, but if you have to choose between me and being queen, you need to choose "being queen."

"What? No, I won't choose being queen! How dare you say that, why would you say that! I love you and you think I will turn my back on you for a title! If they can't accept who I love, then I don't want to be their queen!"

"We can still be together when you're queen."

"How, by sneaking around and lying like we are now. What do we do once they make me marry? What are you going to do, sit there and let me go through with it?"

"You have to choose to be queen!"

"Get out, just leave me alone and get out!"

"Fine!"

He slammed my door very loudly as he left. I can't believe him. I'm willing to throw everything away for him and he has the nerve to tell me to choose being queen over him. I don't want to be queen. I want to be with him. Why doesn't he see that? I was pulled out of my thoughts by a knock on my door. Great, can't I ever get a

moment of peace.

"Come in." I say.

Az walked in my room. Hopefully, she won't ask any questions. I hope she didn't overhear. Why wasn't I quieter?

"Are you okay, DG?" Az asks.

"Yes." I say.

"You know you can talk to me about anything, right."

"I know, but I'm not ready to talk about it right now, I just want to be alone right now."

"Okay, I love you, DG."

"I love you too, Az."

She walked out of my room with my mouth hanging open in shock. Did she hear us? Does she know? I hope not, God I hope not, that's the last thing I need. After curling up in a ball, I cried until I couldn't cry no more. Please let Wyatt come back to me.
