MY TURNING POINT

17.

we entered the charity ball. I saw all girls were models and actors and this is why I won't come to these type of place. It has been about a year I guess. God why do I have to be this pathetic. I hate myself so much. Do I want to go to the wedding. If I go it will be great to see the faces I know at the same time it may end really bad.
"Hey what's going on in your small mind ?"
"Nothing much. Just how I can't be like these models...." I trailed away.
"Seriously Hope" he gave me a'you're ridiculous' look.
"What?"
"Every single person in here is checking out on you" he told me his eyes showed a hint of jealousy.
"Nice joke" I told him sarcastically.
"Hope tall and thin, dipped in makeup, showered in hairspray and and wearing all sparkly dress is not every one's definition of beauty" he tells me with sincerity.
"But that's everyone's definition of beauty. "
He just sighed at me.
"I think I am going to my cousins wedding " I told him out of the blue.
"Are you sure? Will you think they will not mind?"
"I think I have to go it's been almost two years I have to pack the things I left behind. I don't think they will mind as he said that they were really guilty about what they have done"
"You know it's not compulsory right"
"Ya but I won't to for want I remember I and my cousins were very close we use to play catch game at 14 years old so I don't want to be sitting here doing emails and meetings. I want to go there stay at my old house and bring every photo that I have and every dress. "
"Okay"
I search my phone and call Elena to tell her to ready the jet for tomorrow.
"Um Elena?"
"Yes Mam"
"Do you think you can get the jet tomorrow? I know it is short notice but I really need it"
"Yes Mam I think I can do that don't worry about it. Where do you want to land Mam?"
"Seattle to visit my family"
"Erm... okay" she told with concern.
"Don't worry about it Elena"
"How many people Mam?"
"Just me,Edward, Taylor and the security team" I told her while my eyes was on Edward whose eyebrows were rosed
"Okay...Hope?"
"Yes Elena"
"Be careful please"
"Elena I will be fine"
"What time?"
"I will message you in a minute"
"Okay Mam "
I ended the phone and Edward is still surprised and I don't know why though
I call my uncle next.
"Um...hello"
"Yes Melody?"
"Ian I told you not to call me that you lost the privilege for that i just wanted to say that I will be coming tomorrow and can I know the timings and venue?"
"I am sorry but we really miss you Mel-Hope I know we literally kicked you out we realised what we did was wrong"
"I know they kicked me out and you have no other choice if you would have took me in they would have kicked you out. I don't know how they feel guilty now?"
"I don't know Hope that's what they said"
"You know that they are an award winning actors right?"
"Ya but still please Hope. I miss you and Alan too he wants you at the wedding and introduce you to his fiancé. She really wants to see you"
"He told her about me?"
"You play an important role in his life Hope. I thought you knew that?"
"Ya I knew that but I left without even saying goodbye to him and still he speaks highly about me?"
"He understood in what situation you were in and he knows you better than anyone Hope. He looks at you like a little sister that he never had"
"And I think it's your fault that he doesn't have a sister don't you think? You can still try now to!" I joked to cut the tension.
"Hope I am more than ready but your aunt is not cooperating with me" he said with a gun of humour.
"Haha" I laughed and took a look at Edward he was really surprised.
"Okay Hope I will text you the details"
"Oh and don't tell Alan about this I want him to be surprised okay?"
"Okay bye Hope"
"Bye Ian "
"It will take a while for you to call me uncle Ian, won't it?"
"Sorry but you know if I loose trust on someone it will take a while right?"
"My definition of a while or yours?"
"Mine I guess"
"Will you think about forgiving them?"
"Absolutely not they really lost every bit of emotion I had for them."
"Okay I will let you go you must be busy and I will text to you the details. "
"Thanks bye Ian"
"Bye Hope"
I looked at Edward who was still surprised
"Okay why are you looking at me like this?"
"One I have never seen you laughing at your uncle and two you never said I was coming with you."
"One. I was never angry with him I was just upset that's it. Two. I don't think I can live without you so you are coming unless you don't want to"
"I will be more than happy to come with you. so when are you going to go?"
"We have to get in the plane at 3:00 in the morning I need to get ready the infusion things so we need some time to get ready there. And the time is about 10:00. So let's get out of this hell shall we?"
"You call this hell?"
"Of course come on and it's time for my infusion for today night I don't want to faint. I already feel dizzy. "
"Do you want me to carry you bridal style to the car?"
"Darling as much as I love you to carry me I don't you to"
"Why is that ?"
"Because I don't want to die out embarrassment."
He looked at me with an evil smile.
"Edward don't even think about" I backed up. He came up to me and hug me.
"You know I will carry you in front of these people but I would like to live when I get home"
"Mmm... Edward?"
"Hope?"
"I love you"
"I love you too"
We got out of the ball after talking to some people and went to Taylor.
