Tara opened the front door and said to Lisa that she could come in. Tara took the clothes that Lisa brought and went upstairs to change. � So how did it go?� Lisa asked William. � Not good, I don�t even know why I even tried. She doesn�t want me and that�s all there is to it!� William exclaimed. He flopped down in a chair. � Don�t say that William. She loves you, she wants you, she told me so a couple of weeks ago. She just doesn�t want you to give up the throne because of her. That�s the biggest problem, but she also wants to have protection, security.� Lisa told William. � I know she does, I want that for her too, but I can�t promise it.� William said. � All I can give her is some protection from some things and my love.�
Tara came down the stairs. � Just talk it through with her.� Lisa whispered in his ear. She got up and went to the bathroom and Tara sat down. �Where is Lisa going?� Asked Tara. � The bathroom.� Said William. �Tara, tell me why you won�t talk to me? You used to tell me everything.� He said to Tara. � I don�t want to talk about it, William.� Tara said to him. � Come on. It�s been two years that I�ve gone mad about not knowing! Just because you don�t want me to love you or give up the throne we could still be friends. Tell each other everything like we used to.� William said.
Tears started to run down Tara�s cheeks. � William�. � She said quietly. � I don�t want to talk to you because if I talk to you I just want to break down and cry in your arms. I�m afraid that if you continue to love me you will go through pain because I can�t be with you.� � I can be with you, Tara. But it means that I�ll have to give up the throne.� Said William. � That�s what I don�t want you to do, you should be king, you will make a wonderful king William! Just forget about me!� Tara said. She got up from the chair and ran out the door. William chased after her. He caught up to her, grabbed her by the waist and pulled her toward him. He hugged her tightly as she cried on his chest. � I won�t ever forget you Tara. I won�t let myself forget you. We�ll find away around this, I promise you.� William whispered.
Days after Charles went up to Tara�s room. � Tara, can I come in?� Asked Charles. � Yes, you can.� She replied. Charles sat on a chair while Tara sat on her bed. �I�ve been thinking and I�ve talked to some people. I know what you�ve been through. I�ve seen it happen to William. And I�m very honored to know a wonderful girl such as yourself who cares for William enough to give up her happiness for his future. So I went and talked to my mother the Queen and the man who said that a royal couldn�t marry a catholic and I�ve told him the situation. He said that he had seen William�s state too and has agreed to let Royals now marry Catholics.� Charles explained to Tara. Tara was so happy that she jumped up and hugged Charles. � Thank-you, thank-you.� Tara repeated over and over to him. � Does William know about this?� She asked. � Yes, he knows. I made him promise to let me tell you the news.� Charles said smiling.
Tara ran downstairs to find William. When she did she hugged him. � I told you we would find a way.� William said happily. � Yeah, you did.� Tara said smiling to William. William leaned down and whispered in Tara�s ear. � So, now will you got out with me?� He asked. � Yes, I�ll finally go out with you.� Tara replied happily. |
