the biggest star in the world

the dinner

madeline's pov

i invited violet over after school to decide what we are wearing. well what i was wearing. she had formal pants and some vest top which looked amazing.

i couldn't decide though. it was at this rooftop terrace restaurant so i knew i had to look good.

"okay what about this one" i asked for her opinion for like the 10th dress.

"i think we have a winner, although the last 100 have been spectacular" i accepted her flattery and  admired the outfit in my mirror a sleek backless black dress and i would have black heels aswell.

after finally deciding everything i got ready in the bathroom with violet sitting on the bench beside me.

she was glued to her phone though and. it being very social. i couldn't blame her, with what she was saying about her girlfriend last night that girl probably never has a second to think.

she excuses herself to take a call from said person and i nod continuing my makeup.
when i was all ready it was 6pm and we better get leaving.

i grab my purse and head out to find her on my couch looking pissed off. i want against the wall and raised an eyebrow at her.

she looked up and took a double take before apologising to the angry person on the phone and saying goodbye.

"is it time to go?" she asks composing herself.

"yepp, do you want to just come in my car, you can save fuel that way" i offered and she nodded. i grabbed a coat and we headed to the garage under the building.

"you own a porsche" she said speechless.

"yepp" i smiled at her awe.
we got in and i put in the address for this place. soon we were on route listening to music in the background.

"is your girlfriend okay? like should you be coming to this dinner?" i asked

"i want to go to this dinner, she needs to learn to have a day without me. especially if im about to be a lot busier with this project" she said to convince her or myself i couldn't tell.

we went around the back like we were told to avoid paparazzi.
"madame" i offered a hand to help her out of the car.

"why thank you" she smiled and we headed inside.

upstairs scarlett and the others were already there. are we late?
"madeline! i'm glad you made it." scarlett smiled "you look gorgeous, and you i don't belive we've formally met, im scarlett"

"im violet, it's nice to meet you"
"oh you play amelie, the love interest"

"sorry who's love interest?"
"mayas?"
"since when" now i spoke.
"did you girls not read the edits they sent out today?" we both shook our heads.

"well" i said unsure what else to say. we locked eyes and laughed it off heading to our seats.

they were handing out glasses of champagne and i managed to get one no questions asked.
and i was enjoying it till scarlett saw me from across the table.

to which i decided to not acknowledge her glare and talk to violet again. i don't get what was wrong. but soon she was in the empty chair across from us.

"so what did you order scarlett, i couldn't decide so i got the chicken celery salad"
"i got the wings" she raised her eyebrows "now how did you even get a glass of champagne"

"i dont know, the guy gave it to me. its not like it's alcoholic"

"girl yes it is" violet laughed at me.

"what?"
"are you being serious?" scarlett asked me.

"yes?! are you saying i've been having alcohol since i was 9" i guess that's why im not a light weight.

"oh my god madeline" scarlett was in shock.

"is wine alcoholic?"
"do you live under a rock?"

"i've been an alcoholic my entire life" i shook my head. "sorry this is life changing"

scarlett took my glass clearly needing it more than i do right now. and took a sip going back to her seat. i think ive stressed her out.

violet keeps asking me questions like im stupid and i tell her to shut up.
"oh my god can i have a bite" i said once her massive cheeseburger came out.

"go ahead" she laughed.

"god why did i get a salad" i shook my head at the pure amazingness of her food.

"we can swap" she offered.
"no i can't take this amazingness from you"
"we can share then" she offered and so we spent the rest of the night only socialising with eachother and eating. she doesn't drink but i had some more champagne.

so now i was all loose and smiley. violet and i took some photos with the view.

after dinner we were like one of the last ones there. a few of the cast had gone home as they have young kids but a few were still here enjoying themselves.

scarlett rejoined us on our end of the table and she noticed i was tipsy instantly. 
"is she driving home do you know?"
"uh we came here together so if she lets me i'll drive her car home" violet was speaking.

they continued to chat and i rested my head on the table.

"come on home time" violet said pulling me up to stand.

after driving home.

maybe i was drunker than i thought. i've never had more than one glass of champagne before. violet took me to my apartment and helped me all the way upstairs.

then up the stairs again to my bed. "get changed i'm going to go find you water and panadol for the morning" she told me and so i did.

i did as told and when she came back i was already almost asleep in my bed. "why don't you want anything from me?" i asked her. and i could tell she was confused.

"what do you mean"

"caleb always wants something from me when im like this" i yawned "i dont know what though"
