Lance knocks on raina's door before entering without waiting for a response. Raina looks towards the door, sitting on her bed facing the wall.Â
I think you knowâŚicia told me what happened
I want to know more, Iâm worriedâŚ
I donât-...Iâm sorryâŚ
The silence stays for a while, as lance sits on the bed.
I want you to tell me the truth, please. That's all I ask, just please be honest with me.
Why- RAINA I don't care, I want you to tell me the damn truth. Iâll- Iâll tell you anything you want to know just please for the love of god..
Did you do it on purpose?
The answer caught him a bit off guard but he expected itâŚ
IâŚ.I wanted help and- ⌠I didnât want anyone to get involvedâŚ.
What- raina you know itâs alright to-
Ask someone for help with a job IM supposed to do-
It never should have been your job in the first place!
Raina stops and stares at him.
Iâm going to find somebody else to rule the kingdom-
THIS IS MY RESPONSIBILITY THIS IS WHAT I CHOOSE TO DO YOU CANT TAKE THAT AWAY-
I'M NOT GOING TO LET EVERYONE DOW-
Youâre already letting everyone down and you dont even fucking realize it.
Youâve stopped taking care of yourself, I hardly even see you around recently. I barely saw you at my wedding for fucks sake.
Lance sighs before heâs silent for a bitâŚ
Is this really what you want?
I didnât ask if this is what you needed, I asked if this is what you wanted? Did you really want to be the ruler of the kingdom?
No, I didn't, but everyone kept telling me that everything would be fine, and it never ended up fine. Nothing was ever fine, I keep thinking something is wrong with me, that Iâm doing something wrong all the time. I canât just leave them, but it doesn't even feel like they want me here. I don't know what to do, I just kept thinking that everything would be okay but itâs not and I don't know what to do anymoreâŚ
Raina is crying by the time she finishes. Lance touches her shoulder, she flinches before he brings her into a hug.
âŚI think you need more time, I don't think this was put onto you right at all. It was rushed and sloppy and poorly handledâŚ
Weâll find someone else to take over for a little while, and when youâre ready and want to, you can come backâŚI promise Itâll be okay this timeâŚ
âŚcan we stay like thisâŚ
Lance feels his heart ache a bit when she says it like thatâŚhe nods though, continuing to hug her. As much as this feels wrong, It feels too right for him to not.
That I've always kept my distance from youâŚ.
âŚItâs alrightâŚI get itâŚ.
âŚWould you care if I started treating you like her?
âŚI think I would like that actuallyâŚ
