317 Something to Break

Once everyone else had left the room, Lena stared at her uncle for a hard second longer before getting off the other. She didn't bother turning the safety back on to the gun as she turned her back on him.

"I want you to leave this room." The princes ordered without turning to look at the other.

"Do you have anything else that you want to say to me?" Julian asked, shifting slightly to a sitting-up position.

"I want you to leave is all I want right now," Lena repeated once again without even turning to face the other. She didn't have anything that she wanted to say to the other at the current moment in time. The sooner everyone left, the more she would be able to breathe.

"Lena, won't you at least hear me out on my reason for asking him to come here." The prince didn't reply but her uncle could see the way that her hand clenched around the gun. A sign that she didn't want to talk.
