There is red and green everywhere, the whole palace decorated for the festivities, and Henry doesn’t want to get out of bed. He doesn’t want to see anyone, he doesn’t want to look at Philip and Martha sitting together with their arms around each other posing for the royal portrait, because they are allowed to be happy and public about it. He doesn’t want to try and make small talk with his mother, who is just going to be looking through him, glancing at the empty chair next to her from time to time. He can’t handle Bea’a knowing, sympathetic glances. And he definitely can’t bear having to look at his grandmother, listening to her going on and on about how it’s time for him to enlist or find a suitable lady to get married to.
The snow is falling at Christmas for once, and the trees are glistening, but Henry can’t get out of bed. He’s scared to look at the pictures his phone tells him Alex just posted. Scared that he will see how happy Alex is without him. Terrified that he will see her in the pictures of the Claremont-Diaz festivities.
The Christmas songs are playing softly somewhere in the palace and Henry can’t move from the bed, even though he feels like puking at the mere thought of Alex kissing Ellie under the mistletoe, all their family and friends cheering as Alex dips her, her long curls bouncing and the red bow in her hair getting crooked as she smiles into the kiss.
The colorful lights are shining outside of Henry’s window and he can’t move his head from his pillow because he hasn’t talked to the love of his life in four months.
He needs to put on his Christmas dinner outfit and let himself be driven to Buckingham, but all he can do is bury himself deeper under his covers that haven’t been changed in weeks because the boy he loves is now in love with someone else and it’s all his own fault for breaking his own heart.
