Stefan's POV

Why did this have to happen!! Everything was going so well. Then suddenly she gets a call from her home saying her mother is sick. I had just taken her back from Anthony. We had just started enjoying the night. But that one call destroyed everything. But I don't blame Princess for it, though.

It's her mom. She totally did the right thing. But then everything went downhill when she begged me to come with her to Australia. Seeing her like that, broke my heart. But I couldn't go with her to Australia. That would break the agreement we had with the Elites.

Yes, I am the Gang Leader of the world's most dangerous gang- The Kings. Princess doesn't know that. I am pretty sure she will break up with me if she did. She won't let her family and friends be in danger because of me. 

Being the Gang Leader has its pros and cons. The perks are that I can use this position to make anything work as I want. The downside is that it is a huge responsibility. This responsibility has been stayed in my Family for years. My dad was the Gang Leader before me. And when I say that, it means a lot of pressure.

The Kings were ranked number one when he was the Leader. The only competition they had were The Elites. He made the agreement with them so that there won't be any harm to anyone. To be honest, I am amazed by The Elites. The gang is totally made up of girls and they still rank in the top. People really underestimate women. But I don't. Princess' punches made sure of that.

Princess is the best thing that has ever happened to me till now. The second best would be the birth of Selena and Sean. But now, after what happened at the Formal, I don't think she'll forgive me. 

"What happened?" I asked as she made her way back to me after she ended the call. "My mom is in the ICU." She said, looking  down at the floor. "Hey. Don't worry. She'll be okay. She is your mom." I tried to cheer her up. "I am taking the next flight and going to see her in Australia." She announced, still not looking at me. She was leaving. I mean, she should, obviously but she was leaving. "Can you come with me?" She slowly asked. 

Oh no. I can't go to Australia. That will be against the agreement with the Elites. Oh god! Why did her mother have to live in Australia? "Please?" She begged, finally looking at me, tears forming in her eyes. She was trying not to break down. Without saying anything, I hugged her. "Your mom is going to be okay, alright?" I sighed. She nodded and rested her head on my chest. "Can you come with me? Please?" She begged. How was I going to tell her?

"Princess...I can't." I sighed. "Why? I need you Stefan. Please." A tear rolled down her cheek. "I am busy. I have something already planned and I can't miss it." I couldn't believe I was saying that. I saw her heart broke in front of me.

"You are preoccupied? Please. Can't you clear the schedule?" She sighed. "No." I looked down, ashamed of myself for what I was saying. "You can't. Yeah...I understand." She stepped behind, away from me. "Princess-" "There are many more important things in the world that me. I understand you are busy." I glared at me through her teary eyes. "Princess please-" I was about to try and convince her but she cut me off. "You are a very busy person Stefan Thompson. I won't cause you any further trouble. I am sorry I asked." And with that, she ran out of the gym.

"Dude. You are starting to freak me out." Ryan snapped me out of my thoughts. "What happened at the Formal? You have been distant since the Formal." Ryan asked. "Princess' mom is sick." I stated. "Yeah. Selena told me that. She also told me that she was going to kill you. Why is that?" He asked. "Princess asked me to come with her. I couldn't go to Australia. That'll break the agreement." I explained to Ryan.

"What reason did you tell her?" "I told her that I was busy." I ran hand through my hair in frustration. "Man, that's not a good reason." Ryan shook his head. "Do you think I don't know that. I don't think she is going to ever talk to me." I sighed. "You have to come up with something." Ryan said. "I hate lying to her. And you didn't see the look in her eyes, man. I don't think she is ever want to see him." As if on cue, the doorbell rang. I walked up to the door and opened it, only to see the last person I ever expected to see.

"Princess, what are you doing here?" I asked. "Am I not allowed here? Or were you busy? I am sorry I troubled you." The tone of her voice made me flinch. "Princess-" "We need to talk." Saying that, she took my hand and pulled me outside to the front yard. Why am I getting the feeling that this 'talk' is not going to go well.

"I can't do this." She suddenly stopped and turned to face me. What does she mean by that? "I am breaking up with you." She stated, her words craving holes in my heart. "Princess-" "Vanessa. That's my name." She glared at me. "Vanessa, I know your mom is sick-" "She is dead, Stefan!" Princess screamed.

This is not good. I only thought she'll give me a silent treatment or something, but this is much worse. And her mom died. She is not thinking straight. "I know who you are." She suddenly said. She knows who I am? "What are you saying?." I asked and regretted it the next second. Her eyes darkened with anger. "For Gods sake. Stop acting like you don't know what I am talking about. I know you are the f*cking gang leader of the Kings." 

What!?! How did she know!?! And she sweared. This is not good. Suddenly I saw all my fears coming true. "Vanessa, I can explain." "I don't care if you can explain or not. I can't do this. I am sorry but I am breaking up with you." She roared. "Don't do this to us. Don't do this to you." I pleaded. How can her feelings change!?! Was she just playing with my feelings?

"I am sorry Stefan. But we can't be together." She plainly stated. "I'll give up my position for you. Please just don't do this." I thought this would calm her. But she got more angry. "How can you say that? And it's not about you. I am not breaking up because you didn't tell me. Or its not that I have any problem with your position. Or the fact that you bailed on me when I needed you. It's not about who you are. It's about who I am." She said. 

I don't understand what she is saying. "Please don't do this. I can explain everything. Please just let me explain." I pleaded. She was fuming now. I have never seen her this angry before. 

"Stop it Stefan. You are the reason Emma died. You are the reason Ethan got shot. You were the reason the school was attacked! You are the God damn f*cking reason my mom has disappeared from my life!! You were the reason for everything. And I kept blaming myself for my whole life! Emma died because she was your sister. Ethan got shot because he tried to protect me when he saw I was between the shooter and you. Whoever attacked the school were searching for you. And you killed my mom. I am sorry. But I can't handle it." She stepped back, as if she was scared of me. 

I understood why she was angry. But how can she blame her mother's death on me!?! When did we do something? How can she say that? I never killed her mother. I would never do that. She took a deep breath and sighed. "I am sorry." She said and started to walk away. But then she abruptly turned and came running towards me. Before I had the time to respond, she smashed her lips on mine. 

I quickly responded. Our lips moved in sync. It was filled with hunger and desire. I was still confused but I pushed my thoughts away and deepened the kiss. After sometime, we both parted for breath. "I'm sorry." She whispered and ran away to her car before I could respond. I know I saw tears in her eyes. Why would she do this if she was obviously not wanting to do it? And why did she say that I was the reason her mother died? I walked back to my house, only to take my car keys and made my way to the Garage. I sat in the car and drove off to the Gang House.

**********

I reached the Gang house and directly made my way to the boxing ring. I started punching the boxing bag with naked hands. "Hey! Dude! Stop!" I suddenly felt being pulled apart from the bag. "Dude. Are you out of your mind? Do you want to break your hands?" Melvin asked. "Melvin. Leave me alone!" I shouted. 

"You are scaring me." He sighed. "Leave me alone." I stated. "No. Ryan would kill me if I did that." He rolled his eyes. "I don't care. Just f*ck off." I glared at him.

"Stefan calm down! What happened with Nessa?" Ryan asked as soon as he entered the gym. "She broke up with me." I stated as I removed my hands from Melvin's strong grip and went and sat on the benches, my head in my hands. "Why?" Melvin asked. "She found out about us." 

"Wait- What? How?" Ryan asked. "I don't know. She also blamed me for her mother's death." "Her mom died?" Both of them chorus. "Yeah... I feel like a d*ckhead." I sighed. "That explains the Ethan part." Ryan mumbled. "What Ethan part?" Melvin asked.

"Lena called. She didn't tell me anything about Nessa's mom. But she told me that Ethan and Shirley broke up. At least Nessa came here to talk to you. Ethan broke up with Shirley through a text." Ryan informed. "Woah...What's with the Macbeths and the breakups?" Melvin said. "But I don't understand why you are still working according to the agreement? After what you found out in Toronto?" Ryan asked.

He was not wrong. The Toronto trip was very eventful for me. On hand, it was the best trip of my life. I also asked out Princess there. And she said yes. On the other hand, we found out that the Elites had broken the agreement. The bomb placed during Sean and Selena's birthday was done by the Elites. I don't understand why they did that? But now, I don't care. 

They are destroying my life. First they endanger my whole family by placing the bomb. And now, because I decided to follow the agreement, I lost Princess. "We are going to the Elite house." I stated. "And we are going to kill them." I announced and made my way out of the room, towards my office. 

I was in the hallway, when I started feeling suspicious. Something was not right. Where is everybody? It was too silent around. Suddenly, I heard something roll and I felt it stop at my leg. Hardly had I looked down to see what it was when smoke emerged out of it. It was a smoke bomb. I started coughing a the smoke went into my nose and mouth. I heard some gun shots. Great! We are being attacked.
