Rejection

"So is it this way to the kitchen and this way to the ballroom." I was pointing in different directions while running away from Prince Jake as he is bad for my heart. "What is this here?" I ran into a south wing floor full of rooms and zero guards.
"This is my floor. I own it." I turn around to look at him with surprise.
"All of this is yours? There are at least 20 rooms on this floor alone!" I pointed to the doors on each side.
"Yeah this one you're staying at." He pointed to red doors in the middle of the floor. I smiled and I look ahead of me and there is a massive double door at the end of the corridor. Without thinking I run down to see what's behind them.
I barge into the room. It was big with a king size bed in the middle. Around a corner there is an open bathroom with a big bathtub next to the window with a view of the city.
I heard the door close and Jake walked around the corner, just to see me look out the window.
"Beautiful" I said looking out the window.
"Yeah beautiful." Jake said as he was leaning on the wall with his shoulder.
I looked at Jake, the lad I had a crush for years. I gaze into his ocean blue eyes and I see that he is serious about me being with him. About us being together. I made a decision.
"Jake." I say as I stand 1 meter away.
"Yes" he smiled.
"I'm sorry." He looked confused.
"What are you sorry about?" He said take a step to me as I took one back, which hurt him. "Why are you running away??"
"Jake I realised I don't want to be with you. I realised that I can't love someone like you." I could feel my heart breaking as I was saying this."I can't love a monster." I said it and ran out of the room. I made my way to the room and locked myself inside. I took my shoes off, and I pressed my back to the doors. I slide down to the floor and allow myself to cry. I can't be with him. No in this world.

I wake up to the banging on the door. With the support of my hand healthy I got up and opened the door. In front of me was a girl around my age.
"Hi, I'm here to invite you for dinner with the king and prince. Your father is already there. " She smiles and hands me a beautiful dress. "Present from prince Jake." She left without letting me talk.
I look at the dress. It is a burgundy dress with spaghetti straps. It's length is just above my knees. However I'm not planning to wear it. I know he is trying to impress me. So I picked a blue dress and flats.
I made my way downstairs into the dinning room. It was massive like most of the things in this place. My father was sitting to the left of the King and Prince Jake was sitting on the left. I quickly sat down next to my father. Jake's eyes were drilling holes in me.
"Is nice to see you Rachel." King Dominic said with a smile.
"It's nice to see you too." I said as I bowed my head.
"Oh no please don't bow your head. I have lots of respect for you after what happened today." I smiled.
"Thank you, can I ask you a question, your majesty?" He looked at me warmly.
"Yes, ask anything you want."
"Where is the training field?" I asked." Train every day. "I explain.
" Why don't Jake show you after dinner." He said looking at Jake who was giving me hungry eyes. f**k is just like getting thrown to lions to be eaten alive.
I nodded and we all just continued with dinner.
After everyone finished their dinner both my father and Jake's father said goodbyes disappeared.
We both now were standing in silence. I took a deep breath."Prince Jake can you please show me where the training area is?" I asked, trying not to sound scared.
I got a little nod and he set off in front of me. We pass all the corridors in silence until we stand at a massive field. It had everything. There was a gym, race tracks and more.
As I was about to step out ,Jake pushed me with full power against the wall. God I will have a bruise on my back.
"Ouch" I squealed.
"What was that early?!" He screamed in my face. "You think I am a monster??? You haven't seen a monster yet." He let go of me and stormed off. Well I'm f****d anyway great.
