Chapter 33

                                    

                                          
Cinderella's POV
                          
I asked for an excuse to leave Jackson so I could find Skylar. It was already 11:45.
                          
"Hey Skye." I said to her as she turned around to look at me. 
                          
"Hello, Cinderella." she said, smiling mischievously at me. I kind of blushed. 
                          
"Shh. Not too loud. How are you holding up?" I asked, making sure Aiden wasn't doing anything too.....unusual.
                          
"Oh it's been fine. They don't even know. Your mother and step sisters seem to be preoccupied talking to the King and Queen." she said looking at them. 
                          
Of course. Step mom wanted one of her daughters to marry the Prince so they can live off his money. A daughter as in her real ones. 
                          
I sighed looking back to my friend. 
                          
"Don't look now but I see Charming coming up in three, two, on..." 
                          
"Hi Isabella." he said. His voice deep and casual, yet full of emotion. I tensed as he said my name, but Skylar...I mean, Isabella had to go. 
                          
Skylar looked at me and then began to follow him as he walked in the opposite direction. 
                          
A second before she left me, she pulled my hand indicating for me to follow. 
                          
I reluctantly obeyed, like I've been doing for my whole life, and followed the two, being sure not to be noticed as they walked in the empty hallway. 
                          
I was nervous to say the least. What if he thinks its me and just...I don't know...kisses her.
                          
A small shock of jealousy was at the pit of my stomach. 
                          
Let's see what happen, I thought as I followed them into the passageway, making it just in time before it caught my dress through the sliding wall. 
                          
I made sure to keep quiet as I followed them to a beautiful indoor garden. 
                          
Wow, I mouthed and stood near the rock walls of the path, making sure I was hidden. 
                          
I saw them enter a white gazebo. It was enchanting, but unfortunately I wanted to be there with him instead. 
                          
He began asking her questions, his voice was so full of concern. I wanted to comfort him, but sometimes you can only do that in your dreams. 
                          
He then went close to Skylar, making me nervous. 
                          
Slowly he took off her mask. 
                          
Oh shit. 
                          
"SKYLAR!!!" he shouted, making me jump a little. 
                          
"YOU.." he said to me and I slowly got out of my hiding place
                          
I was embarrassed, I never wanted attention to myself, but seeing as he should know the truth, I decided to reveal myself.
                          
Ding. Dong. Ding. Dong.
                          
OH NO. MIDNIGHT. I GOTTA GET HOME. 
                          
My eyes widen as big as saucers. I was dead if I didn't leave now. So, I spun around almost 360 and ran. 
                          
That's until I heard a voice.
                          
 "Wait!!" 
                          
Jackson...
                          
He was...running after me?!?! I heard foot steps racing behind me. 
                          
I didn't turn around because these shoes were about to slip off, UGH GLASS.
                          
I gotta lose him, I thought, as I ran into the crowd. 
                          
I heard people calling for him and the crowd beginning to form behind me.
