The Dereanged Arrangement
Open Your Eyes
Evangeline POV
Mum never came to see me, probably afraid to face me after the announcement on the news. Why do I have to go through with this? Harry probably will end up killing me. Why can't they see he only wants me for one reason? I may be of royal blood but I'm no beauty queen. Standing, I make myself stretch slowly and something catches my eye. Actually lots of somethings. I push the curtain back more and see balloons,flowers and a card.
Curious,I open it to see who sent me all of these things. Most likely , mum did. She always sent me small tokens growing up when bad news came. The script inside is all jumbled together and hard to read but at the end I see the words that made me take a deep breath. It wasn't from mum at all.
"I'm even sorry for dropping you by the kitchen and puking on you, just everything. Love Liam."
Was he trying to say he loved me or just a general love ya kind of thing. Great, like I needed more confusion. Out of all of them, he was the sweetest to me. Next to the flowers and balloons were 3 big bags from some department store and on those was another card.I tore it open and read the child like handwriting:
"You never got to try these on or even see them.They are yours. When you wear them,think of them as a hug from me. Talk soon Miss Thang. xoxo Lou."
Well, he didn't express any kind of love for me. Just sincere friendship. I flopped down on the couch and laid my head back. Thoughts of Liam and all the kindness he showed me flowing through my mind.
What if Liam is my answer,my way out of the arrangement? Would I be using him if I pulled him into my mess.Of course it would be. Not to mention all of the problems it would cause him with Harry. Harry would probably kill him.I couldn't do that to him. He's too nice for that. He deserves so much better than I could ever give him.
I leaned forward and put my head in my hands. The tears flowed easily and I hugged myself, rocking on the seat. What could I have possibly have done in my short life to deserve this? In a week, I'll be married to Harry and effectively trapped with him for the rest of my life. The contract contains a no divorce clause. There has to be something I can do. What ever happened to free will?
Liam POV
I hope she likes the get well gifts I sent her. I meant ever word I wrote on that card. I was so nervous my hand shook but I had to make the Love you was easy to see. If only she would open her eyes and see that she really is cared for. Lou,Niall and I agreed that we would do whatever it took to keep her free from Harry. We tried talking him out of it but he only had one thing on his mind. Her virginty. Also, the fact that he no longer had to look for love, he could just force her to love it. Doesn't he realize it won't be real, true love and that she will grow to hate him. She already resents everything he's put her through. Louis wants to call the palace and offer himself in Harry's place. Louis actually does have royal blood somewhere in his family and he thinks that could persuade them.
No,it won't. I know because I have already tried that. Harry was chosen,I was told,because his mum is friends with the Queen. They said she would only change her mind if Evangeline told her face to face she wanted someone else . Then they insisted Evangeline would grow to love Harry and the whole incident was just a minor misunderstanding. I tried to tell them differently but was swiftly hung up on. My poor baby girl has no options.
Harry POV
Simon has me at an orphanage serving dinner to the kids there. It's part of my punishment and also to help my soiled image. I don't mind doing this. Gives me perspective and time to think . The only bad thing is that all I can think about is my Evangeline. She hates me now. I overreacted yet again. It's just that when I get attached to someone, I stop seeing them as a person and they become an object to possess,own, control and it doesn't matter to me if she likes it or not, she's already mine.
Niall POV
Fuck all of this. Why does everything have to be about Harry? Harry this, Harry that. It's always been like that too. Out of the group,he is the most popular with the fans. We don't even care about that as long as we stuck together but this shit with Vangie, it's just too much. Any idiot can see that Liam loves her and even though it was fast ,it's real. Someone needs to tell her that she can ask for Liam instead as long as she does it on her own. I'm going to that hospital. I hope Paul is up for giving me a ride.
