I couldn't help but sigh, a little annoyed with my mother as she went over the checklist again. "Do you have enough shirts?"

"Yes."

"Coats?"

"Yes ma'am."

"How about underwear?"

"Mother enough already! We've been over this silly list of your's more times then i have ever travelled." My mother had always been so protective of me. It was the one trait that I had always disliked about her.

"Aw honey I know, but it's so hard seeing my baby going off to London alone and all." She cooed as she pinched my cheek.

"Mother personal bubble!" Okay maybe that was a little lame but i was beginning to lose it. She pulled back not taking her eyes off me.

"Alright i'll leave you be for now. Don't forget dinner is at five and please look presentable." With that she turned around and walked out my door, gently shutting it behind her. Groaning I flopped down on my bare mattress. My mother had arranged a large dinner in my honour at the Royal Crown tonight. The place was highly recommended for parties and any celebrities that visited our small town. Not to mention that the prices for the food were through the roof, and anyone who ate there was considered lucky.

I wasn't complaining. I was very grateful that my mother went through all that hassle just for me, but i didn't like the fact of seeing all of the people that would be wishing me good luck and safe travels. Who knows how many people my mother invited.

*******

A few hours later I found myself walking into the front doors of The Royal Crown. My brown evening dress allowed me to fit in with the rest of the people eating here tonight. I mentally thanked my mother for choosing my outfit. Tonight would be unbearable with even more people watching me.

Fixing my blonde curls, i followed the host through the maze of tables to a back room. The loud room became silent as I entered. Every pair of eyes turned to me as I walked through feeling a little self conscious. My smiling mother cane from the side and hugged me. "Beautiful like always darling." She whispered in my ear before stepping aside.

Everyone began to talk easily again to one another like before. My nerves eased a bit thankfully. Family and friends then began to approach me and wish me luck on my trip. This went on for the next hour just about with people shaking my hand for giving me hugs. When the last person went to their table i couldn't help but smile, I was finally done.

I turned to the table where my mom and dad sat to join them for dinner when a hand snaked around my waist. "Where do you think you are going?" A male's husky voice whispered in my ear. The same voice once sent shivers of pleasure down my body. Only now do they send shivers of disgust and hatred through me to my core.

"Going to sit with my family and get far away from you." I spit through my teeth. He chuckled and tightened his hold on my waist.

"Now Valerie, is that anyway to treat your loving boyfriend?" I chuckled darkly and dug my heel into his foot, causing him to yell out in pain and pull his arms back. I ran ahead and spun around to face him.

"You are my ex boyfriend Mike. You lost that title when you slept with Raina behind my back!" I shouted. I noticed that all attention was on us again, just great. I really didn't want to discuss how Mike cheated on me with the school slut in front of all my family. I pushed back the tears and pain that came with the memories of us and looked him right in the eyes.

"I want you to leave... And to never talk to me again." He smirked and took a step forward.

"I don't think I can do that with you looking that sexy." Like the coward I am I took a step back and bumped into a table. "What's the matter baby? Scared by the fact that you still love me?" He taunted. His eyes roamed over my body like i was a his prey and he was the predator. I held back the anger that flooded through me as his words sank in.

I giggled flirtatiously, catching everyone including Mike off guard. He hid his surprise behind a cocky smile, but I could still see it clearly in his dark green eyes.

I walked up to him so our bodies were barely apart anymore. Closing the little distance between us, I leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "You know what I want to do to you right now." I swallowed the bile that rose into my throat as he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me out of the room and down the hallway to the bathrooms. My family is probably too stunned to notice at the moment to realize what I'm doing.

Once we were away from the public eye he pinned me against the wall and began kissing down my neck. "Please demostrate. God how i've missed you." He whispered against my skin. He took the shivers of disgust as ones of pleasure and continued kissing down my exposed neck. I smiled as my plan seemed to be working. I gently lifted his head up with my hand and looked him straight in the eye.

"Here's your demonstration. Go to Hell!" I brought my knee up hitting him square in his family jewels. I happily watched as he dropped to the floor groaning in pain and cupping himself. "Don't you ever come near me again, you understand!?" I spit through my teeth. I angrily stormed off back to the dining room to grab my clutch I had left on the table.

My parents looked up at my approach. Their smiles faltered as they took in my appearance. "What happened?" My father growled as he came around the table to pull me close. I wanted to hide in my father's chest like I had done when I was little, but I knew I had to leave. I pulled away, though father made sure that he kept my close with his vice like grip on my arms. His face was twisted in pain as he looked me over. His blue eyes held unshed tears, his black hair full of visible grays. For once I saw just how old my father has become.

I was pulled away from my thoughts when father froze and glared behind me. I slowly turned around to be faced with a sick looking Mike. "Is that any way to treat your guests Valerie?" He panted still looking a little pale.

"Guest!?" I almost shrieked. "I sure as hell didn't invite you!" I took a step forward to finish him when father pulled me back. I smirked as fear built up in Mike's eyes at my little movement. He better be frickin scared.

"Then why did I receive an invite to your party to say good bye?" I turned to my mother for an explanation. She had planned this whole thing, not me. She simply shrugged and looked back down at her plate of food. I growled out in frustration and roughly ripped myself out of father's hold. Grabbing my stupid clutch and storming up to Mike I finally let my anger flow.

"I did not invite you! I hate your guts after what you did to me and I thought I made that clear! I don't want to see you around my family or friends ever again. If you so much as speak to me when I return from my trip I will castrate you. Understood?"

I didn't wait for a reply. Rightening myself I brushed by him and ran out of The Royal Crown as fast as my heels would allow me.

Making sure all my bags were in the back, I hopped into my truck and peeled out of the parking lot. The normal hour drive to the nearest airport took half an hour with my thoughts being else where than on my speedometer.

Quickly parking, I grabbed my suitcases and rushed into the airport. Running through security was a breeze and I soon found myself sitting on a plane bound for Chicago where I would then get a connecting flight to London. Thankfully the flight was pretty empty, and I had no one sitting on either side of me. "Ladies and Gentlemen we are about to take off. If you can give the flight attendants your undivided attention for the safety demonstration.." I put in my head phones and turned on my music from my phone, allowing George Strait to carry me away into sleep.
