Bloggers, photographers, paparazzi were all there. Snapping pictures and asking questions that I avoided completely. Getting into the hall I find my seat and I let out a sigh of relief. My feet!
Looking around, I spot a couple holding hands their back to me.
Yes, Isabella and Theo.
Even if it does hurt to say, they did look good together. Isabella knows Theo better than I ever could.
I see Isabella's eyes looking around the room restless until she spots me and a devilish smile takes over her lips.
I look away. Amelia and Alexander take their seats next to me and I put a smile on my face.
"Hello, there daughter. You look spectacular." Alexander charms.
"Thank you, Alex. You too, also the lady in your arms. " I reply smiling.
"Why is that witch here?" Alexander sneers at Isabella.
"She's Theo's date," I respond dryly.
"What?" Amelia muses. Making us turn to her. She clears her throat.
"What I mean is, how did she get out?" Amelia asks and for a second there I got worried.
"Theo got her out by dropping the charges. Probably bribed the judge too." I inform them.
I could feel the anger radiating from Alex's body. His fists were clenched and his jaw ticking.
"What the hell was he thinking?" He demands. I stay quiet. I didn't have the answer to that. I kept asking myself that question.
Hazel and Colin join us. Sitting on my right. The talk about Isabella and Theo continues, more people join in and I zone out. The room's light is turned off, making everyone seated.
"Greetings everyone." Lou's voice echoed throughout the room and I smile when he winks at me. When he introduces Mia everyone stands up except for Theo and Isabella. As expected, no one pays attention to them.
Mia says a few words and I could tell she was pretty nervous, something I've never thought I'd see. Pretty understandable, it's her first fashion show and I am sure she wanted to impress.
The models walked on the stage with clothes ranging from bikinis, gowns, outwear gear, casual and official wear. We all clap as they all lineup.
"And for our last collection, I was motivated with a good friend of mine, a sister actually who is currently pregnant and huge as a whale. This one is for you Kaylee." She says looking directly at me. The spotlights were on me as everyone laughed and I couldn't help but join them.
The last collection consists of maternity wear all simple yet elegant and classy.
We all clap as the last model appears and we wrap up.
"That was great. I knew she would nail it." Colin says proudly and we all nod.
"Babe did you like the bikinis...wow," Colin exclaims as Hazel hits him playfully.
I could feel the void Theo left in my heart. If I had my way I would be in his arms right now but the universe had other plans of reviving that witch and bringing her into our lives. Again!
"I hope they are just passing by if not I think I am going to end up in jail today," Colin says eyeing Theo and Isabella walking towards us. They stop in front of us and I put on a neutral face not bothering to look away.
"Oh, mom, dad, and Colin. How are you?" Isabella greets me as if I and Hazel are invisible. To my surprise, no one answers and I could tell her smile fell, I could see it on the floor.
"I don't know what this..." She points at me before continuing," Told you about me but I just couldn't leave without saying hi to m-" She expresses. Making me frown.
"Theo take this bitch you call your fiancee away from us before I do something to her that I definitely won't regret." Colin threatens and I sit there in shock.
"Collin!" Amelia scolds.
"What mother? I can't stand her, much listen to her terrible voice. No one here wants to even see her, especially me." Colin voices.
"Colin is right. Go away, Isabella." Alex says waving his hand.
"You don't mean that dad. " Isabella says.
"Oh, I do. Now, go away. Theo takes her away." Alex says his voice leaving no room for arguing.
I throw a glance in her direction and motion the bouncers to take her away together with Theo.
"Don't forget what I told you. Be gone before I come for you. I will freaking kill you, Kaylee!" Isabella yells as she is escorted out of the place.
Her words make me freeze in my spot and I could feel the shivers going down my spine.
Her words.
Her threats.
I know she isn't going to let me be if I continue to stay here.
I love my newly profound family and friends. I could say I would do anything to protect them. As much as I would protect my unborn babies.
I stare in the direction she was taken to. I don't know how long I stare before I feel my arms shaking me.
"Kaylee, are you okay?" Mia asks her voice low.
I didn't have to say anything because I know she knows my plans. I stare at her blue eyes.
"It's going to be okay Kay." She says as she pulls me into a hug. There was something different in this particular hug.
It's not the ones we used to share when we were saying hello or when one was crying because of something silly.
This one had only one meaning.
Goodbye.
I know I will always remember the hug.
"Am going to miss you, Kay. Promise me you will call me as soon as you settle down." She whispers and I nod.
"I promise sister. I will miss you too." I whisper back.
"Hey, why are you two hugging like you're never going to see each other ever again?" Colin jokes, little did he know I won't be seeing any of them for some time.
"Say goodbye. Ryan and I will drop you off wherever you want us to take you." She whispers into my ears and I nod.
Hugging everyone a little bit tighter and longer. I leave with Mia and Ryan. They drop me off at the bus station. Getting my stuff I board the bus to the one place I know nobody will find me.
I wave goodbye but that wasn't enough I run out of the bus and hug them both crying.
The driver informs me it's time to go and I pull away from both Ryan and Mia. I get into the bus not daring to look back or even glance at them through the window. The bus starts moving and I let out a breath. Rubbing my big baby bump.
I will do anything for you two.
