Chapter Thirty-Eight

Anastasia

"What the hell?" I finally spoke up.

"Anastasia" Gabriel warned but I couldn't care less.

I was at loss for words, my fucking parents were back.

"Adrien come" Gabriel said to the boy, leaving me with the two adults in front of me.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"We reached out to Gabriel not long ago, we wanted to see you" My father said.

"After nine years? God thanks for that, really thoughtful of you" I said.

"Anastasia, just please, hear us out, I know it's been a while but we really wanted to see you" My mother pleaded.

"I,-I can't" Celeste took a step forwards towards me but I ran upstairs into Adrien's room.

"What happened?" Adrien asked.

"Why are they here? After nine fucking years, why are they back now?" I said while pacing.

"I don't know..my dad didn't say anything to me about that, but you won't be pleased when I tell you he's throwing one of those gala-ball type things, I'm guessing for the return of the famous Emerys fashion designers" Adrien told me.

"Well that's just fucking brilliant, and when exactly is this happening?" I asked.

"Tomorrow night"

"I just don't understand, they claim they wanted to see me, I just can't welcome them back into my life now when they haven't been in it" I said quietly.

Adrien walked up to me and placed his hand on my shoulder, "You'll survive this Annie"

"I always do" I laughed slightly.

I always do..

~~~~~~

The next day came far too quickly for my liking, and just as I knew it, school was over and I was back home.

My parents have been staying in one of the many guest bedrooms but I have been desperately avoiding them.

It was about 5pm and I was sat by desk scrolling through my phone when Adrien walked in.

He was dressed quite smart, for the gala I'm assuming.

"You're not even ready yet" He stated.

"You say that as if I'm actually planning on leaving my room tonight" I said.

"Annie my father will kill you if you don't show up, 'What kind of joke is this, throwing this for them and their own daughter doesn't even show up'" He mimicked Gabriel.

I sighed, "Fine, I'll get ready then"

I walked over to my wardrobe, looking through my dresses.

"I don't think I even have anything to wear, because you know, wasn't exactly expecting my long lost parents to show up out of the blue" I said.

"Wait here" Adrien said as he got up and left my room but shortly returned, holding a box.

He handed it to me and I opened it, it was a gorgeous black, long, flowy dress. It was sleeveless and had a low cut, in the box was also a pair of elbow-length black, thin gloves.

"Adrien this is beautiful, where did you get this?" I asked while looking at the dress in awe.

"It was my mom's, she wore it when she was your age but never threw it away" He started.

Adrien laughed for moment to himself, "I actually remember her saying that you would look so pretty in it, so she kept it"

"I can't take this" I said, it was his mum's, I cant take that.

"Of course you can" He smiled.

I smiled up at him, "Thank you Adrien"

"Now hurry up and get ready, you're gonna be expected soon"

"You got it" I giggled.
