Malakai looked into her eyes until she said it. His heart shattered all over again. She still didn't want him. The pain was evident in his expression as he pulled away. He backed away from her tears welling in his eyes. People all around them were staring. Kai felt like the world collapsed on him. She still didn't want him. Kai turned and ran, all the way up to his room. |

Camery tried to hold onto him as he pulled away, though he soon got out of her grip. He looked so distraught. The people watching probably didn't help. Her chest ached as she watchin him run away, and took a few steps towards the direction he'd gone in before just going still. Her heart thumped in her chest, her mouth hanging open as she tried to say something but just couldn't. Fuck. The silence was filling her ears, taunting her. The small snickers from the few people around her didn't help the matter either. |

Malakai cried. She didn't want him. Not now, not ever. He locked his door as he made it to his room. He threw his crown to the side, the hunk of gold bouncing away from him. He tore his tie and suit coat off, walking to the window and opening it. He jumped. He jumped and flew. He flew all the way into the mountains. He went to that place he told her about. His only happy place. He flew under the waterfall, landing on the ground behind it. Kai curled up in a ball and sobbed he sobbed and sobbed. |

Camery stood there almost frozen as she felt eyes on her. Why did he do that? Always run away from her. She didn't know what to do with herself. She felt sick. As people started to talk, their words filling her ears. She felt her knees start to buckle, and right when she was sure she was going to colapse, Jack found his way through the crowd and wrapped an arm around her waist, quickly ushering her out of the room and back towards her room. She was so quiet. She didn't know what to do with herself. She just sat on the bed, staring out. "I fucked up," she whispered. Jack shook his head, handing her some bread and finding her something other than the dress to put on for bed. "Maybe," he breathed. "But he shouldn't have left you there like that," he then added. The truth of it was that no matter what had happened, running off like that wasn't the answer. Embarassing someone you claimed to love the way he just had wasn't right in any word. Camery shook her head, silently chewing her bread before slipping out of the dress and into the clothes he'd handed her. |

Malakai sobbed behind that waterfall. She didn't want him. No one wanted him. No one ever wanted him. He shouldn't have left her like that, but he couldn't be seen sobbing like he was now. Not by her, not by anyone. Kai sobbed and sobbed, curled up in a ball in the dirt behind that waterfall. Right where he belonged. In the dirt. Alone. |

Once Camery had dressed herself, she just found herself stairing out the window. She knew Jack was there with her, and he wanted to help but she was so... upset about it all. She couldn't believe he'd actually left her like that. It was embarassing. She sighed after a moment, and got up. He'd looked so upset. She at very least wanted to make sure he was alright. She wandered down the hall, her ears honing in on the voices from the party that was still going on. She knocked on the door quietly. "Malakai, I'm sorry I-" she paused when she tried to walk in, but the door was locked. She knocked a little harder, her face contorting a little. "Malakai?" |

A maid passed by Camery knocking on Kais door. Without saying anything, the maid pulled out her keys and unlocked the door. The maid opened up the doors for her, revealing the empty dark room. His tie and suit jacket were on the floor, his crown on the ground, on its side, carelessly tossed away. His main window was wide open, the breeze making the curtains blow out. Kai was no where to be seen. |

Camery jumped a little when the maid came next to her, but she thanked the woman and quickly found her way inside, looking around. The place was so... quiet. She looked around for a moment, though when she spotted the window open, she rushed over, looking over the ledge and suddenly was rather relieved that there was nothing to be seen. She paced for a moment, figuring he'd gone to regulate himself a little. She shut the door and picked his tie and crown up, going to sit on the bed as she waited for him to hopefully come back soon. She stared at his crown, fiddling with it. The careful details across it, the stars and moon and everything that represented the night carefully laced through it. |

Malakai cried for another hour or so before it got too cold out for him to be behind that waterfall anymore. So he got up, wiping the last of his tears away before taking off again and flying back to the castle. He flew into his room, landing gracefully on his feet. The wind from flying had dried his face, but his eyes were still puffy and red. He turned toward his bed to go to sleep, but found Camery sitting there. He froze for a moment staring at her, betrayal, pain and sadness evident in his expression. |

Camery sat on the bed fiddling with the crown for what seemed like years. Her night wear was falling off her shoulders, and her shorts were wrinkled where she sat crosslegged. She looked up when she saw Malakai, his face red and puffy, his gaze just seeming loathing. She sighed softly, looking down at the crown silently. She didn't know what to say to him... she was sorry, but seathing from the night. He'd embarrassed her more than he could even imagine, but she felt awful for making him feel the way he did. She was just enjoying herself, but evidently she'd taken it too far. |
