"oh,

...

the tragedy"

...

i groan out loud as i wake up feeling an arm uncomfortably digging into my right side. the confusion sets in as i immediately sit up from the bed.

a sigh leaves my lips as i realise it was just lily's arms wrapped around my waist in my new bedroom. it was going to take a few days to get used to a new place.

lily lets out a frustrated groan as i realised i must've woken her up from me sitting up. lily grabs my pillow behind me then uses it to cover her face.

"hey!-" i try to protest, instead lilly removes it from her face and hits me with the pillow, very harshly i might add, before putting it back over her face. "shut up."

i roll my eyes and point the middle finger in front of her, knowing she won't see it as i swing my legs over the bed and walk over to my bathroom. i forgot how much i hated hungover lily and how mean she was. especially at 9am, it was way too early for the both of us after an intense drinking night.

i wash my face and drink plenty of water to try rid of my headache, also grabbing a second glass of water and placing it on my bedside table for lily when she finally decides to wake up.

i then check my phone at all the messages i received.

"fuck!" i realise as i had completely forgotten that my sister was flying in today.

i run to my room, no longer caring if i disrupted lily as i grab the first comfy set i see, which is a light brown tracksuit set. i quickly put on some shoes and practically run out the door.

hey!....
no ofc not! so much traffic here!
can't talk, see you soon!

i typed as fast as my fingers would let me, before throwing my phone across to the passengers seat and reversing out of my driveway.

as i'm driving towards a traffic light, a car suddenly cuts me off at the front, causing me to stomp on my breaks out of incstinct. idiot!

i curse out loud as i approach the red light and switch lanes so im able to be side to side with the car who almost caused a crash between us.

of course it was a sports car. this is monaco. i can't lie and not say that the car was absolutely gorgeous. it was a black ferrari with a red and white stripe across the front of it. but when i look to see who is driving this majestic car, my blood boils with more anger.

it was a guy with curly hair seemingly on the phone,- unless he was just yelling at the red light in front of us...

but clearly he didn't even realise how dangerous the move he did on me was as he pays no mind to me pointing the middle finger out the window for him, as he looks as if he's about to punch whoever is on the other end of the call.

i place my hand back on the steering wheel as the light turns green and the ferrari zooms past my mercedes.

out of all my cars back at home, i decided to take my mercedes white c63 coupe with me to monaco, as i never used it as much as my other cars, and so no one really knows i own it, therefore no one will be able to recognise me from my car.

soon after, i forget about that dick on the road and begin getting excited about seeing my sister again.

i finally find the private area they were waiting in after getting a tad lost in the MCM.

i was out of breath from having to speed walk and even run for a few seconds as i saw an insane amount of people crowded around one area- fans and paparazzi.
my heart stopped as i quickened my pace in hopes i would get by unnoticed, but i'm not too sure.

"wow well would you look at that! someone remembered us!" matilda says to her daughter sarcastically as i walk in their field of view.

"i almost got into a car crash coming here for your information." i say, blood boiling remembering the guy on the road.

"aunty ella!" i look down to see tiara running towards me with the biggest smile on her face. my heart melts at her as i crouch down to pick her up and give her a little spin.

after a few moments i put her down to give my sister a big hug, it had been so long since i saw her as she was busy with school and planning her wedding. speaking of, i give james a quick hug too which he returns.

i thank all the crew and we start to leave the airport while they were telling me how they're flight went.

as i'm about to drive off, i get a call from lily. i smile at it but turn it off, knowing it was probably just her telling me lila came home.

A/N just got back from monaco and im still in disbelief
