Jasper approached the window to watch her leave.

Eleanor waited for Sebastian to open her the door, as she was expected to as a princess, but some cloud travel through her head making her think she was not doing this as a princess but as a woman with a life of her own, so she cut Sebastian off on the way and opened the door by herself. She entered the car and waited for him to take his place.

Sebastian smiled, surprise by her actions but happy for her determination. As he entered the car he said, "You don't have to prove anything to me Princes... sorry... Eleanor."

"I know I don't, but I want to be Eleanor as much as I can, I really want to leave the princess behind!"

He nodded, smiling and ordered the driver to leave.

From the window Jasper watched how confident she was and felt guilt for wanting her to stay. In that moment a couple options to stop them passed through his head. He could order the guards to stop them at the gate with some excuse, just to give him time to talk to her on more time, to convince her that he was the one for her and that they, together, would figured all this out and that he was the one that would make her happy. He could also make a fake bomb threat call to the airport where Sebastian's private plane was stationed. Or even order a surprise inspection for drugs on the private plane.

He shook his head and cleared his mind from all this craziness simply because he couldn't do that to her. She deserved to be happy and these six months would be perfect for her to find herself, find a meaning for her life. She had dedicated her life to the monarchy since day one. He saw how unhappy she was most of the time, even when she had everything that she could wish for. She wanted to finally do something for herself and this was it. He couldn't take this from her. He was not that selfish. But six months was a very long time, she was leaving them behind, and that was very hard to digest, even Jasper couldn't blame her for doing it. He loved her to much to take an opportunity like this from her.

"So what's our first destination?" Eleanor wanted to know.

"Can it be a surprise?" Sebastian smirked at her.

She frowned. "Yes, why not? Let it be a surprise!"

"But we are going close for our starting location! And you're going to love this place!" Sebastian remarked, excitedly picking up Eleanor's hand.

She observed his gesture and didn't say a word. Her mind traveled back to the palace and all that she had left behind. Her mother alone, because apparently her bother, King Robert has decided to imposed his wishes by letting go the only friend that her mother really could rely on in the palace. Her bother Liam who was fighting his own demons and she really didn't know how to help him. Little Sarah Alice, her bff lately, that managed to make her smile just by walking into her room like she owned the world. That little girl was the most grown up child that she ever met and an amazing match maker. Eleanor could not help but smile remembering how the little girl managed to make the sweetest and most incredible Christmas present that she ever received. That story book made her question all her decisions and for a split second she pictured herself back in Jasper's arms again.

When Jasper came to her mind she felt a chill. She had left him behind too. He asked her not to but she did. And she already missed him. When they first started this game they played so badly, she never paid much attention to him, she started to hate him for god sake, but now she could remember every little piece of him and she smiled at how serious he was on the job, or how he always have a shy smile on his face when he was around her and the sad eyes he always had that would light up when she came on his horizon. The way he was only goofy around her was one of her favorite secrets. She missed his dark blond messy hair that she loved to rearrange with her fingers making him shiver. Oh she missed his perfect mouth, angular cheekbones and his hands, his beautiful hands almost feminine but strong enough to make her day dream about his touch. She loved how tall he was and the height difference between them that made her fit perfectly under his chin. She missed his hug, his touch, his scent and most of all she missed knowing she had him finally.

But Jasper ruined everything. Yes he had a shady past and probably that would always be used as something to jeopardize her, but by this time he should already have known he could trust her and he should have come to her for help. Leaving him behind was the hardest thing that she ever done.

Releasing her hand from Sebastian's, she looked through the window as they passed the palace gates. Who was she kidding, she would never be able to get pass that man, no matter how far away she would be from him.

She picked her phone out from her bag and scrolled for Jasper's contact. She stared at the screen, at his shy smile that she so much loved, but then put the phone down again.

"It's everything okay Eleanor?" Sebastian asked, noticing that a single tear was falling down her cheek.

She cleaned it and nodded. "Yes it is all ok!" Picking up the phone again she wrote something and pressed send releasing a sigh.

Sebastian notice her discomfort and maybe a bit of sadness that was written in her eyes but he chose not to comment and let her be, after all she was leaving her life as princess on hold for six months and all she knew was staying behind.

Jasper waited until he saw the car pass through the palace gates, he felt his heart shrink as he witnessed her going away. What was he going to do without her was the big question now. Still facing the window but not seeing anything his mind traveled back to their last conversation and how broken she looked when he kissed her on the cheek and felt her warm tears falling. How could he hurt her so much was something that he would never forgive himself for.

Turning his back to the window he cleared the welled up tears from his eyes and prepared himself to face King Robert and the madness that was instilled in this Palace. Walking away he felt his phone buzz.

A wave of some mixture between fear and happiness ran through his body as he saw Eleanor's name on the screen.

"I'm not leaving US behind!" Was written in the text box.
