The Princess and the Punk

Michael's POV
"Are you ready for your surprise?" I asked.
"Uh yeah." She said unsure.
I paid and then we began to walk to her surprise. I grabbed her hand dragging her through the alley beside the Waffle House.
"Oh my god Michael! Where are we going?" She squealed.
"It's a surprise." I laughed.
"Ugh, can't you just tell me!" She groaned.
"No, it wouldn't be a surprise." I said.
We continued walking through the alley to the next street over.
"Okay close your eyes." I said.
"Michael! How am I supposed to walk? I'll fall." She yelled.
"No you won't. " I said.
I wrapped my arms around her to guide her and used one hand to cover her eyes.
"No peeking." I said.
"Fine." She said.
We walked about three stores down.
"Open." I said standing back.
"Roy's Record Shop?" She questioned out loud.
"Wait till you see in side." I said assuring her.
There were rows upon rows of records and CDs. The walls were covered in band posters and a corner of band merch. They far back corner had a little bar they had beer, coffee, and more importantly ice cream.
"Can I live here?" She asked.
"Um I don't think they'd appreciate that." I said.
"It's so cool." She said flipping through the CDs.
She had already picked out about five different CDs.
I walked over to the band merch looking at the new merch. I picked out a couple of shirts for me and a couple for Amelie. She's been staying over so I figured she might need some extra clothes.
" Michael, come look." She said.
"What?" I asked walking over to her.
"Look what they have." she said holding up The Chronicles of Life and Death by Good Charlotte.
"Is that the special edition?" I asked.
" Yes it's my favorite album by them." she said.
"Mine too, I love I Just Wanna Live." I said.
"Me too." she said putting the album in her basket.
After about an hour we decided to get some ice cream from the bar.
"What are you getting?" I asked her.
" Chocolate chip cookie dough." She said smiling.
"That sounds delicious." I said grinning.
"What can I get you two?" asked the man behind the bar.
"Two chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream cones, please." I asked.
"Waffle or sugar cones?" Asked the man he had piercings and tattoos also.
"Waffle, please." I said.
"Waffle." She said smiling.
He scooped the ice cream and piled it high.
"Here you go, enjoy." He said handing us our ice cream.
"Thank you." we replied.
We sat in silence yet again, but it wasn't awkward. It was comforting.
"Are you okay?" I asked her.
She sighed looking at me with distant sad eyes.
"Not really," she said honestly.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked while rubbing her back lightly.
"Not really," she repeated.
"Its Harry isn't it?" I questioned.
"That's part of it, I think its just the fact that I have to go back." she sighed again.
"You can always stay with me." I said.
"I don't know if I can keep lying. If Harry finds out..." She said pain flashing before her eyes.
"I don't know why you don't just tell someone that he's hurting yo-" I started.
"It's not that simple Michael. You don't know the half of it." she said raising her voice slightly.
"You're right, I don't but I know enough to see that you aren't happy. You aren't treated the way you should, and that causes you to doubt yourself. You have a voice dammit just use it. You're royalty use that to your advantage." I fired back.
She sat there silent.
"Can you take me home? I think that I need to go." she finally spoke.
"Amelie I'm sorry, I'm just frustrated." I said realizing what I'd done.

I had meant to encourage her to speak up, but ultimately I just brought her down.
"I know you didn't Michael... I just need to go home." She said.
"Okay I'll take you home." I said.
The drive home was awkward, the air was dense. The radio was turned down, barely audible and I would hate to feel what dead silence would feel like.
I pulled up about two blocks away from the castle.
"Thank you Michael, I had such a wonderful time." she said.
"So did I, I'm just sorry it ended so soon." I said.
"Me too." she replied.
"Do you still want to come to band practice?" I asked.
"I would love to." she smiled.
"I'll text you Luke's address." I replied.
"Okay, good bye Michael." she said.
"Good bye Princess." I said as she walked away.
As I started back to my house my phone began to ring.
"Micha-el please pl-ease hurry bac-k" My mom said.
"I'll be right there, I love you mum." I said driving faster.
But sometimes no matter how fast you drive, you don't always get there on time...
