"Angel girl, open up!" I heard Rachel bang on my hotel door. I laughed as I opened the door to reveal Rachel, Olivia, Molly and Poppy beaming from ear to ear with excitement.

They had arrived in LA earlier as Rachel kindly informed me that she would be leaving Austria immediately after I told her about Daniel.

I greeted my friends as they entered the room, making themselves more than comfortable by dropping onto the sofa and bed.

"That was a long fucking flight." Poppy moaned and felt her belly with the flat of her hand. "I'm so hungry."

I giggled at her before finding a packet of chocolate biscuits in my bag and handing them to her. Her face lit up like a child at Christmas.

"You're a star." She hummed as she placed the sweet treat into her mouth.

"How's my model feeling today?" Olivia smiled.

I could see that they were all putting an act on to cheer me up, their faces seemed pained and fake.

"You don't have to pretend." I informed them all as they nodded in response. Rachel caught glimpse of my empty hand as she picked it up with hers.

"Where's your ring?" She asked as she looked me dead in the eye.

"I've had the shortest engagement in history." I said, causing Rachel to giggle somewhat at my misery. That's one thing we were extremely good at, laughing at our misfortune.

"I'm so sorry." Molly said as she reached out from the sofa to grab my hand. The other girls surrounded me offering their sympathies. "What happened?"

"He's always going back to Heidi. I don't want to be in a relationship like that. I met with her, yesterday."

"You did what?" Rachel's voice rang in surprise.

"I needed to speak with her, to confirm whether I was being silly." I started to speak. "She said that she doesn't view Daniel any more than just a fling. She uses him for casual sex and doesn't love him anymore. But that doesn't change how I feel. He's going to keep going back."

"Let's change the subject, you're making yourself upset." Olivia said as she wrapped me up in a hug. Tightly pulling away but keeping me firmly in her grasp she looked directly into my eyes. "You're a fucking VS angel tonight!"

I giggled, coming to terms with the fact I was going to be modelling for Victoria Secret tonight. This was insane.

"We also have an after party arranged!" Rachel squealed and put her arms up in the air.

"We do?" I quizzed her and pulled away from Olivia's embrace.

Rachel nodded and ran over to her suitcase to retrieve the tickets she had carefully tucked away for safe travel.

"Do you remember Charlie? Charlie Haye?"

Of course I remembered Charlie. He went to school with Rachel and I, we were part of a little group of four. Rachel, Charlie, Jack and myself. Jack was Charlie's best mate and we hung out all the time. The boys never proceeded for anything further from Rachel and I, even though I had been dying to get my hands on the boy since I was twelve years old. We had lost contact over the years since leaving school and moving to London and Sydney.

I nodded at Rachel, rolling my eyes at her easy question.

"He's hosting the party tonight. He has a boat now." Rachel winked as I chuckled over at her.

"You have Paul, remember that." I scolded her as she continued to laugh.

"I know, but you are a single pringle and ready to mother fucking mingle!"
