Old Friend

BPOV

Yeah

And if your heart stops beating

I'll be here wondering

Did you get what you deserve?

The ending of your life

And if you get to heaven

I'll be waiting here babe

Did you get what you deserve?

The end, and if your life won't wait

Then your heart can't take this

Have you heard the news that you're dead?

No one ever had much nice to say

I never think they would have liked you anyway

Oh take me from the hospital bed

Wouldn't it be grand? It ain't exactly what you planned.

And wouldn't it be great If we were dead?

Ohh dead.

"Um excuse me Miss Swan?" I stopped singing and turned around so quickly that being the major klutz I am I fall. Gina rushes to my side muttering apologies on how she startled me.

"It's alright Gina. Is there something you needed to ask me?" I said standing back up brushing the non existent dirt off my pants.

"Oh! Yes your father and mother have requested an audience with you. Said it was urgent and that you come straight to your father's office." That shows how close my family was. I have been requested to audience my family? Wait that's not how you say it. Oh well but my father was governor of the town of Washington. It used to be states but now they decided instead of having a president we would have a King and Queen and all the states be made into towns. Weird I know. Since my father was chosen to be Governor of Washington, California, Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. Most are just governors of one town but when I asked my mother she said he was very good friends with the king. Yeah right, the king barely goes out of his own castle has two of his kids paired up and the last one single but no one ever sees them. If they didn't have portraits we wouldn't know what they look like.

I said a thank you to Gina and went out of my suite, I can barely even consider it a room it's so huge. The house itself is a palace. Has five floors, a grand ball room, a nice place to eat if we had many people over, a swimming pool and a gym inside, and lastly a stable out back. I loved riding Blur. A weird name for a horse but when she is running that is all you see, a blur. Plus I was 5 when I named her. One day when I was 7 I got lost while riding her and she found this beautiful meadow. It was a perfect circle with flowers on the outline and no more than ten feet away there was a small pond with a mini waterfall. It was my own oasis. I was brought out of my day dream when I came to the door of my father's office. I knock before hearing a come in.

Walking in I see my father and mother sitting behind a grand oak desk. Behind them were shelves and shelves of books I used to steal to read when I was a child. The desk was cluttered with papers and other various objects. All in all this place feels like home. My father Charlie is a tall man about 6'5 feet tall with chocolate brown hair that is starting to gray, greenish eyes, a thick bushy mustache and well fit for his age. My mother has more of reddish brown hair with chocolate brown eyes and stands at 5'9. She is more petite but both wear the same expression. Extreme happiness and worry.

I sit down at one a of the plush chairs that always seem to swallow me and waited for them to talk. Or do anything in general.

"Sweetie." Renee starts. "You know your father is a very important man with lots of people looking up to him." Well no duh. "And that he go this job because of his friend who completely trusted him. " I nodded my head. "Well the friend who gave him the job is coming here with his family." She finished apprehensively.

"Okay and you look concerned because?"

"Well my friend. Um, he well he is kind of" Charlie paused. "He's the king." He whispered.

"Yeah and I'm Whoopie Goldberg." I say sarcastically.

"I knew you wouldn't believe me that's why I have some pictures." He hands me an old photo album. I flip it open and see a lot of pictures with my mom and dad. But the next page shocks me the most. I'm used to seeing them in extravagant suits and ball gowns but here are the king and queen laughing with my parents. Then it sinks in. The Fucking King and Queen are coming here. My already pale face pales even more. I close my eyes to get a grip. Just stay calm.

"When are they coming?" I manage to get out.

"In three days."

Okay in three days I have to learn to be graceful and not fall on my face and not be a disgrace to my family. Oh man I'm so screwed!

"Honey relax, the Cullen's are very nice people. Why Esme is even your godmother." My mo says. The queen is my godmother! What else I'm in an arranged marriage with Edward Cullen! Now that I don't mind. Focus Bella you have to remain calm and most of all do not faint when you meet them. Boy that would be a conversation starter.

"So all that time when you were telling me the king got dad all of this you weren't lying." I squeaked out.

"Now you can see why we didn't want to tell you. We were afraid of your reaction to all of this." I nod and think I say that I'm going to bed. The walk up the stairs seems to take forever and feels like I'm walking through syrup. Finally making it to the fourth floor I put on autopilot to get to my room. Turning around a corner I bump into Gina.

"I'm so sorry miss." She says. Why can't you just call me Bella? "What did your father want to tell you?"

"One of his old friends family is coming to town." I say in monotone.

"Oh really and who is that?"

"The king." And walk to my room. Once inside I slide down to the floor and put my head inbetween my knees. Distantly I can hear vacuums being turned on and people fixing every last thing in the palace for the arrival of the royal family. What if they don't like me? What if they are totally stuck up? What if they are rude? Wait thats the same thing. I hear a vase break and a panicked shout to clean it up. All awaiting the arrival of my dads old friend the king. I am officialy and absolutely Royally Screwed.
