Chapter 13: Pain

CeCe P.O.V

When I got to the hospital that night I saw paparazzi outside trying to get inside the hospital. I swear these people never give it a break. My father could be dying in the hospital and all they care about is digging up any dirt they could find on us.

"Your highness, do you know why the king had a stroke?" the male report asked.

"No I do not know and he's my father not the king." I replied trying to get pass.

"Your highness, as future queen of our country can you tell us why you has sexual relations with the future king himself in a barn yard?" the female reporter asked.

My eyes widen in shock when I heard this, "What?" was all I could say at the time.

"No comments." Aina said yanking me inside.

"You people should be ashamed of yourselves!" shouted Tinka as she followed after me.

"Whatever my best friend does it none of anyone business." Rocky said rushing inside. "Can you believe those people?"

"Tell me about it. They are like wild animals seeking out their prey." Tinka said.

"Excuse me I'm looking for my father King Johnse John Jonasson." I told the nurse.

"Right this way your highness." She replied escorting me to my father room.

"You guys wait out here." I told my friends.

They nodded.

I walk inside the room coming face to face with my mother and father. My father laid in bed hooked up to an IV machine. He was sound asleep.

"Mom." I spoke with tears in my eyes.

"Oh CeCe, thank god you're here." My mom said hugging me.

"What happen?"

"Your father took me out for dinner earlier this evening. We were having a great time into some guys show up with necked pictures of you and Gunther. They also got you guys on tape doing whatever you two were doing. That's when your father had a stroke. I thought he was having a heart attack at first but when I found out it was a stroke it broke my heart either way."

"Mom, listen to me. We will get through this I promise. I won't let anybody break us."

"Why did you have sex in a barn CeCe? I thought you would've known better than to have sex in a public place."

"It was the heat of the moment. Mom it was me and Gunther's first time. What I don't understand about this is how did they even fine us? We were in a farm outside the country."

"Somebody that knows must've told paparazzi where you guys were at." She replied.

"But who could it be? I just don't understand."

"You will have to find out. People could be really cruel and out to ruin you. Maybe that person is out to ruin Gunther. Did you ever think about that?"

I shook my head thinking to myself, "No I didn't."

"CeCe, I need to ask you a question. Are you sure you want to run a country all on your own?"

I nodded, "Yes mom. Gunther and I are in this together and I will never leave his side. I love him."

"Okay, then no more having sex in public places. You're almost a queen now and queens should only be having sex in more suitable places.

Oh god, why is my mom talking about this now out of all the places she could've done it? "I got it mom."

"If you change your mind let me know."

I nodded once more.

"Pumpkin, you're here." My father spoke weakly.

"Yes papa I'm here." I replied holding his hand.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

I sadly chuckled, "Papa look at you. You're in a bed hooked up to an IV machine and you're asking me if I'm alright. I should be asking you that."

He weakly smiled, "I'm fine Cecelia. Your papa had a little stroke that's all."

"A little stroke… Papa you could be dead right now."

"It happened to me twice before but never in a public place."

"Because of me." I mumbled.

"Don't worry about it pumpkin. Your mother and I used to have sexual relations in public places all the time before I became king."

"Johnse don't tell her stuff like that." My mother said.

"Yeah papa, that was a little too much information then I needed to know."

"Why not? That's how we ended up with you. I would like to become a grandfather before I die. It will give me time to make up for what I lost, which is family."

I sobbed, "Papa I am so sorry for giving you a stroke."

"Listen it wasn't your fault. Come here." He said pulling me into a warm embrace.

"CeCe, are you in here?" Gunther asked rushing inside the room. He blushed, "Sorry I mess up your family moment your majesty."

"It's okay Gunther." he father said looking over at me now. "I think you and Gunther should go back to the palace to get some rest."

"Okay, I love you papa." I said hugging him once more.

"Love you to pumpkin." He replied.

"What we did today CeCe was reckless and very below of us." Gunther explained getting ready for bed.

"Well excuse me for wanting to make love to my fiancé. I didn't think there was a law for that either." I replied.

"There isn't. That's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean Gunther?"

"I meant that we probably should've waited into we got back to the palace. We would've avoided all of this drama."

I rolled my eyes, "Don't start with me tonight Gunther because I'm this close to the edge."

"CeCe, your father had a stroke because of what we did and you just expect me not to say anything about it?!"

"I don't want to hear another word about it Gunther."

"Why not?! My crown is in jeopardy CeCe! I'm getting sued for punching my best friend out. Now there's a sex tape out there with our names written all over it. Half of Sweden probably saw it by now!"

"Shut up! Shut up!" I scream smacking him hard across the face. "If your embarrassed by me and all you care about is this stupid crown then maybe we shouldn't get married." I said putting my engagement ring on the table. "I'm sleeping in my own room tonight." I told him slamming the door behind me.

"You broke of the engagement?" Rocky asked.

"What else was I supposed to do Rocky? He was so angry and kept yelling at me about his crown." I explained.

"He was upset CeCe. You can't blame him from being upset." She said running her fingers through my hair.

I shook my head, "I don't know this person right now Rocky. He's not the guy I fell in love with."

"Give it sometime, he stress out. I'd don't know if you notice this but he's been going through a lot lately and this country expects so much from a guy who's only 20 year old. It must be really hard on him. I would've giving up months ago."

"Gunther is not like that he's strong. No offence Rocky."

"Strong enough to the point he has to let out his pain sometimes. So why not let it out on the person he loves and cares about."

"Your right, however, Gunther and I need sometime apart from each other. I need to figure out if this is what I really want."

"I thought you already figure that out already."

"I thought I did too."

"CeCe, there's only a couple of weeks before the wedding."

"I know."

Gunther P.O.V

"Brother Twin, please relax." Tinka said.

"No I won't relax!" I shouted. "I just lost everything." I said falling to the ground.

"When you say everything do you mean by the crown or the girl you fell in love with?"

"I'm talking about CeCe, Tinka. Who cares about this stupid crown anymore? Why can't CeCe and I live a normal life like everyone else?"

"If you lived a normal life then you probably would've never met CeCe."

"I would've found a way." I said glancing up at her. "She means the world to me. Now I'm thinking maybe I should've never open up to her so soon."

"It was wrong timing Gunther that's all. CeCe father is in the hospital so it's hard on her."

"I had so much pain inside to the point I couldn't hold it back anymore."

"Everybody does. You let it out at the wrong place and time."

"She doesn't want to marry me." I said looking over at Tinka. "What am I supposed to do now, huh? What if she meets and finds someone else to marry and become her king. I couldn't live with myself if she was on somebody else arms."

"CeCe loves you too much. She would've never replaced you with somebody else. You want to know why? Because I see a lot of her father in her. He never replaced CeCe mother and that's why I always admire the king."

I snorted, "So do I."

"Get some sleep brother. We will talk more in the morning."

"Goodnight sister twin." I said closing my eyes and going to sleep.

The next morning everyone was in the dining room eating breakfast including CeCe. She wouldn't look my way when I walked inside the room and it crushed me.

"Good morning forks." I greeted.

"Good morning." Everyone replied except for CeCe.

"How did you sleep Gunther? Tinka asked.

"I slept okay. Could've been better." I replied still trying to get CeCe attention.

"Your newspaper your highness." David said.

"Thank you David." I said looking down at the cover of the newspaper. CeCe and I were on the front page. We were in the barn putting are clothes back on. I got upset ripping up the newspaper.

"Your highnesses. You both need to come see this." Aina said. Everybody in the dining room followed CeCe and I inside the family room. When we got there I saw Gale on channel 7 news.

"Gale, what was you thinking when you saw the sex tape of your best friend and his fiancée' having sex in the barn yard?" the reporter asked him.

"I was thinking wow these are the two people we want to rule our country? They can't even keep it in their pants. Any other person would've known better than to have sex in a filthy disgusting place like the barn. I'm appalled really."

"Now I heard you're pressing charges on the prince for punching you in the eye. How do you feel about that?"

"I'm scared actually. I dread the day when he comes after me again. He let some girl come in between us forgetting that I saved his life more than once."

"That's right. You did save his life in that fire? How does it make you feel?"

"Hurt, I could've let him burn to death but I didn't because I'm such a good friend."

"Do you think the king made a good choice by giving Gunther Hessenheffer his crown even if he doesn't marry the princess?"

"I think that was the worst decision the king could ever make. He has anger issue and somebody could get hurt. I wouldn't want that for my people."

"Thank you Gale."

"Anytime." He said looking into the camcorder with an evil grin his face.

Aina turned off the flat screen television.

"Wow, you really know how to pick your friends out Gunther." Deuce commented.

"That's not a friend. He's a wannabe. He trying to destroy Gunther life because he jealous of all the fame. I'm starting to think Gale wishes he didn't save Gunther in that fire."

"Oh yeah, he's jealous alright. I have something to tell you guys. Rocky and I were doing some research this morning and comes to find out Gale was next in line for the throne after Gunther." Tinka explained.

"Woo, talk about spoiler alert." Deuce said.

"Gunther he trying to take your place." Rocky said.

"I know that, I also knew that he was next in line for throne."

"How come nobody ever told me?" Tinka asked.

"Because it wasn't important. King J.J. said Gale would make a horrible king if Cecelia didn't marry me. So I asked him if there was still a way for me to becoming king if his daughter didn't say yes to my proposal. He said he would figure out a way." I explained.

"So you knew that you could still become king even without me?" CeCe asked.

"No I didn't. I'm finding out just like you are right now. He was probably going to tell me if you changed your mind about marrying me."

"I guess you don't need me anymore. All your problems are solved." CeCe said walking out of the family room.

"CeCe wait!" I yelled chasing after her. "I don't care about the crown. Gale can have it for all I care. I just want you." I told her.

"Do you really mean that or am I just some arm candy?" she asked.

"Of course I mean it and no you're not anybody arm candy. When I do rule this country it won't be without you."

"Where in this together then?"

"Yes." I said putting my arms around her waist. "We are in this thing together. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I've been going through a tough time these past couple of days."

"I know you have and I should've understood more."

"I love you with all my heart Cecelia. I hope you know that."

"I love you too. Gale won't get away with this. We have to do something about it."

"What do you mean?"

"I have a feeling Gale had something to do with what happen yesterday in the barn. That's all thanks to my mother for making me realize that."

"You think he set us up?"

"I know he set us up. Nobody knows where your grandmother lives except your family and friends. Gale is the only one stupid it enough to plan this. The look on his face when he was talking to the reporter tells me everything."

"Beauty and brains. You turn me on each and everyday bay-bee." I said kissing her.

CeCe giggles, "Stop! This is serious."

"Okay, I'll stop"

"I think I got a plan that will make Gale lost everything."

I smirk, "Go on my little cookie."

A/N: I couldn't have CeCe and Gunther broking up for two long. It was just too easy. Anyways, thanks for your reviews. I like this story more and more, each day I write it. I hope to see what you got for me this chapter. Let me know what you think and I'll be back maybe this week or next week. You'll never know. Ta-ta!
