THE LAST DAY AT MYSTERY HIGH SCHOOL - EPISODE 25

“What did you just say?”Sharon asked as she stared at them all

“We are getting married today Sharon”Louis was the one to reply this time

“Time is not on our side Sharon, we have decided to push the wedding forward”Gladys said again.

“Sharon my dear, you see the wedding has to……Sharon! ” Suzanne called but Sharon was already running up the stairs heading to her room to lock her self up.

“I told you! I told you that we are taking her too far, why did you decide to shift the wedding to today!”Suzanne stared at the two unwanted guest in her house.

“Louis coronation will be due in a few weeks and the ministers are already wishing to see his bride, we must show them a bride before Louis can be crowned and so we must get them married like this and also Harvey is around, We don’t want him suspecting a thing and so they need to be married today,you of all people should know the reason why they have to get married and be together all the time”Gladys said and Suzanne nodded in return.

“I will go and bring her down here”Suzanne said

“No! Let me go,it’s about time Sharon and I get to talk”Louis said as he stood up

Suzanne didn’t think of it as a good idea at first but Louis manage to convince her and she gave him the spare keys, positive that Sharon must have locked the door.

Sharon stood gazing out side through the window.

She has been dreading this marriage issue ever since they told her about it.

She didn’t want to get married now, she is still young and her studies matters and Louis ……louis is some one she needs to stay away from, she doesn’t know why she felt that way but her heart keeps telling her to stay away from him but that is impossible now, she will be getting married to him today.

Very soon her mother would show up wanting her to go down stairs to get married to Louis..

She could hear some one foot steps approach and she knew it was her mom coming to take her down stairs.

The door opened and her mom walked into the room.

“If you are here to take me down stairs,then give me more time, at least a little more minute or so, I need to get used to it”She said

“Will a few minutes be okay for you?”Louis said behind her and she turned to stare at him.

“What are you doing here?”She asked

“I came to talk to you personally, I think it’s time for us to talk “He said

“We have been talking for days now and we haven’t made up our mind yet what more can we talk about when you have already made the decision already”Sharon said starring at him

“Marrying you is the last thing I want Sharon but as it turns out you are the only one who is my other half, I can’t get crowned until I get married and that will only happen if I marry you”He said

“You only want to use me Louis and I don’t want to be used, what do I have to do to stop you from doing this, I don’t want to get married to you, I don’t want to marry you”She cried out starring at him

“But we have to get married Sharon, look I promise you that as soon as…….”He stopped when Sharon walked towards him kneeling down in front of him.

“I don’t want this marriage, you are the only. One who can stop this marriage from happening, stop it Louis,I beg you”She said crying helplessly in front of him.

Louis felt bad seeing her like this. Ever since she woke up, he havent seen her begging this way.

“Must I really get married to her grand ma?”Louis has his grand ma on their way here.

He had been the one who told his father that the wedding had to be pushed forward but when his father had decide that the wedding should take place he had become unsure.

He didn’t want to lose the crown and he also didn’t want to get married but marrying Sharon is the only option for him.

“You must! Marrying Sharon is the only way out of this mess you your self created”His grand ma had replied.

He stared at Sharon who still knelt in front of him.

He started this whole thing and he would have to see to its end.

He bent down and lifted Sharon up,hugging her .

He hasn’t put her self in her shoes ever since it began but then seeing her this way,he finally did put himself in her shoes and he knew that he would have reacted this way too.

She stopped crying and pulled out of his arms.

“Are you okay now?”he asked

“I don’t do this often,am sorry,I ruined your clothe”she said trying to look for an excuse for her out burst a while ago.

“It doesn’t matter, I under stand you Sharon and I know why you are reacting this way, if some one told me too that I should get married to some one I don’t like neither do I love, I would also react this way or worse”he began softly

“For the part few days, my family and I have been trying to coerce you to agree to this marriage but right here, right now, am asking you or better yet am pleading with you Sharon, you are my last hope. Being the prince and also getting crowned have been some thing have been hoping for for years now!”

“But a prince must have his bride along side him before the coronation can happen and you are the only one my ring have reacted to”He said and then knelt in front of her instead.

“Marry me Sharon! Help me make my dream come true, our marriage won’t have to be a real one, once am crowned and every thing have been settled, you can get a divorce,I won’t object to it, your schooling won’t be disturbed neither would your life, if you end up meeting some one you like,I won’t object to you being with that person, so please Sharon accept to marry me, this is a request from some one is in need for your help”He begged.

Sharon stood starring at Louis, never had she seen this side of him before and this marriage proposal some how feels different with him making it a request more than it being some thing she is being forced into.

“If you still say no to it, I won’t object but instead I will come back to you every day, trying to convince you and……”

“Would you really do as you have promised?”She asked cutting him off

“What?”

“Will you really let me go when I do find some one I love? , will you not meddle with my life , will my life still be the same if am married to you, would you really do as you have said”She asked

“I promise you Sharon, I will do it, it’s your term and I will do my best to follow it all you have to do is to help me now, so will you help me?”he asked.

Sharon thought about it for a while and then nodded her head.

“But it is not going to be a request, Instead it will be a deal between the both of us, a deal which we will terminate once you have achieve your goal, what do you say?”She asked

“It’s a deal”He said as he stood up stretching out his hand

Sharon took his out stretched hand starring at him.

Having this sort of arrangement with him made her feel a bit safe, once he gets to achieve what he wants, he would let her go, the thought as she kept on starring at him.

A while later Louis and Sharon went down stairs to give her mother and his grand ma the news.

The two women were both surprised and not wanting to cause any more problem, Suzanne took Sharon back up stairs, dressing her up for the up coming wedding while Gladys tried to coerce Louis to tell him what he did to make Sharon accept.

He was still refusing to tell his grand ma when Sharon and her mother walked back down stairs.

The two men who had accompanied Gladys and Louis, were the one who will get Sharon and Louis married.

In the confines of the Blake house, Sharon and Louis exchanged their vows and also the rings the royal family had brought with them.

They were both pronounced man and wife and when they had finished with the signature and all.

Louis and Gladys left with the assurance that every thing will change from hence forth.

Louis was contented, Sharon was his wife and nothing, not even Harvey would be able to do a thing.

“It wasn’t so bad after all Sharon? “her mother said as they walked back into the house

“Yes it wasnt, though I still don’t like the fact that am married, I can be rest assured that Louis won’t be a problem in my life”She said

“I do hope so too”Suzanne said as she hugged Sharon lightly

“Am sorry for every thing my child”She said softly expecting Sharon to still be angry but she was surprised when Sharon hugged back.

“It’s okay, though I still don’t under stand why you accepted a wedding for me, I will be fine as long as Louis doesn’t prove to be a threat”Sharon said as she held him back.
