I sat, locked away in my room becuase my mother and father thought I was too much of a 'rebel'. They did like how I dressed: maroon leather jacket, black t-shirt, dark skinny jeans, and combat boots. They claimed I was a trouble maker because of the things I 'did', but to tell the truth, they only judged me on the way that I dress.
Truthfully, I was tired of being locked away, told what to do, and made dress up like a 'proper' princess should. They never let me be my own person, no, I was only made to be fake to please then, not the public. The public didn't care what I looked like, or who I was. I just wanted to be me, that was all. Was that too much to ask?
One day a possible suitor came along and asked if he could start seeing me. My father tried to talk him out of it. He told him lies about me to get him to turn his heels and run, which he did.
Day after day more suitors came and went due to the false stories that my father told. Very few stayed, and the ones that did were almost as horrible as the lies made me seem, sometimes worse than that. It was almost as if my father only wanted the worst for me, he never let me have a chance to meet with anyone decent.
After meeting horrible person after horrible person, I found no one tjat I'd like to spend my time with. But one day a man named Eren showed up. He had kind of shaggy brown hair, teal eyes. He was beautiful. My father told him all the things that he told the others, yet he stayed. The man didn't judge me just by my father's words, he took the time to get to know me for who I really was. Despite the way I dressed, he knew that I was actually a rather sweet girl that just wanted a rather normal life.
"Don't you ever get bored of not seeing the outside?" My current suitor, Eren, asked.
I nodded my head quickly. I then took a look at my plain, boring room before responding to him. "Yeah, I do. I'm an adult and my parents don't let me do anything." I rested my elbows on the table were sitting at, and set my head in my hands. A sigh escaped past my lips as I looked at the ground.
Quickly Eren stood up and slammed his hands on the table. "That's it. I'm breaking you out of this place. Tonight." He sounded slightly angry that I've been held her my whole life like a typical princess in a story. Almost like my parents wanted me to be the perfect fairy tale, but I wasn't.
"O-okay," I said in a shaky voice. I was so unsure of it all. What if we got caught? My parents surely would bar my windows and never let me see anyone ever again. I didn't want that. "Let's do it. I'm ready to get out of here." He smiled at me and took his leave. I was left to prepare myself to leave my castle for the first time in my life. I was ready to see the beauty that laid behind the walls that kept me hidden from most of society.
I got up from where I was sitting to gather a few things I thought that I'd need. The bad that I put all my stuff in was then slid under my bed, out of the view of anyone that happened to enter my room, becuase my father often did 'room checks' after a suitor left. He was afraid that they'd give me something from the outside world that I wasn't allowed to have.
After slipping my bag under my bed, I walked over to my window and looked outside. The tree swayed ever so slightly in the breeze. Oh, how I wanted to feel the breeze on my skin for the first time, along with the warming sun. Yes, I've had windows open and I was able to fell the wind and sun through it, but that wasn't the same as being outside and it happening. I couldn't wait for Eren to show me the world.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"I'm coming in, (F/N)." He announced miliseconds before he entered my room. I rolled my eye, crossed my arms over my chest, and stood in the middle of my room as he gave it a visual kook over.
"He did leave anything, I swear. You checked him before he came into my room, so how could he possibly have left something her with me?" I sassed.
My father glared at me and shook his head. "Your mother and I raised you to act like a proper lady, I have had it with your attitude. It's why no suitors stick around, you know. I understand why they flee becuase of your attitude, no man finds that attractive, daughter. You should really work on it. Maybe we should hire an anger manager to teach you how to manage that nasty attitude you have." He said snobbishly.
My eye twitched as he gave his little speech. "Dose it bother you how much you lie? Like really, does it? Do you even hear the bullshit that's coming out of your mouth? Suitors don't stick around becuase of the lies you tell them. Eren has stuck around so far. He doesn't think that I have an attitude problem, and I don't have anger issues. You have egotistical issues, that's for sure. And you also have control issues. You always have to be in control of my life, you weed out the suitors so only bad ones are left. I don't know how Eren got through becuase he is the nicest out of all the suitors you've sent to me. It's almost as if you and mom don't want me to be happy. You keep me locked up in this room 24/7 365 days a year. Never once have in been outside, nor do I have any friends like a normal adult would. Becuase of you I will never be able to function in the real world. Although you may think that you helped me by keeping me locked up, you didn't. You made me more fucked up than ever."
My father was taken aback by my rant. His reaction was to stork put of my room and slam my door. 'How childish.' I wondered how I ever tolerated living with my parents. Oh wait, I was locked in my room most of the time. That was how.
***
Night fall quickly came after my father stormed out of my room. I stared out my window as I waited for my knight to whisk me away into the night.
As soon as it was pitch black, there was a knock on my window. It was Eren. I slid the window up do he could climb into my room, then stepped away. As he let himself into my room, I reached under my bed and grabbed my bag. I also took the note that was in my pocket out and laid it on my bed.
Dear father and mother,
You're both horrible parents to say the least, and I am not pained to say it. I ran away with Eren. He's showing me the outside world since you two have kept me locked up my whole life. My only wish was to be a normal girl, but you made me out to be a rebel. Now I'll finally live up to the lie of me being a rebel.
I hope you understand why I'm doing this.
Please don't come looking for me or send anyone after me becuase I won't be found, nor do I want to be found. Maybe one day I'll return, but please do not count on it.
-Your daughter, (F/N)
Eren read the note over my should her as I placed it on my bed. His hand was on my shoulder, reassuring me that I could just up and leave all I've ever known. Of course I wanted to leave, but a part of me wanted to stay becuase this place was still everything to me as horrible as it was.
"Are you ready?" He sweetly asked.
I nodded as he took my hand in his and lead my to my window. He clime out and helped me out.
As soon as we were on the ground, we took off running. We ran past the guards as swiftly as possible, hoping not to get noticed. He kept hold of my hand the whole time, making me feel completely comfortable with my decision.
"Thank you." I said once we were far away from the castle I once dwelled in.
Eren brought me into a hug. "What they did to you wasn't right. You needed to be free, so I brought freedom to you. This is what everyone was entitled to when they were born. I was just giving you your true birth right." He smiled and let me go.
"I can never thank you enough."
