The truth is, ever since Arabella released her first song 'mean it' a year ago, it was a major hit. She had only released singles since but they all had a significant amount of streams and she had a huge following. Ella appreciated her fans but with anxiety, the idea of being stopped and having people request a photo with her was haunting, in her mind. Ella had rarely left her house, that she lived in with her grandma, since she gained an audience.
Alex would often come over to keep her entertained but eventually it got concerning. A person couldn't spend their whole entire life cooped up inside their home. So Alexandra (alex) had made it her mission to get ella out of her house.
Alex was dating the one and the only Charles Leclerc so she was used to the media following her, and being asked for photos every so often.
Arabella had rarely met Charles, occasionally sharing a hello on the handful of times he had dropped Alex off at Ella's house to try and pry her away from the comfort of her own home, her safety.
10:00 am
Ella figured there was absolutely 0 chance she was getting of going with Alex so she figured it would be a sensible idea to begin getting ready as it was a 15 minute drive Monaco.
She got of her bed, heading straight to brush her teeth in the ensuite connected to her room. Afterwards Ella picked out an outfit to wear, opting for a floral patterned maxi dress, which she paired with some black kitten heels.
Arabella headed for her vanity to do her makeup before she was going to dress. She kept it simple and natural, Ella was never the biggest makeup girly but she had always been insecure of herself resulting in the need to wear at least some subtle makeup before she felt comfortable to leave the safety of her home.
Ella got dressed and headed downstairs to the kitchen, her phone in one hand and her dainty heels held in the other.
To Ella's surprise she saw her grandmother perched on the cream coloured sofa in the centre of the cosy home.
"Grandma, Pourquoi êtes-vous à la maison ?" (why are you home)
"Je ne me sentais pas bien, mais je vais bien." Her grandma replied. (i felt unwell, im okay though)
Ella responded, "Je peux rester à la maison, ça va." (i can stay home its okay)
"Non Ella, je vais bien, tu sors et tu t'amuses mon ange."(No ella, im fine. You go out and have fun my angel.)
"Je taime," Ella smiled (i love you)
"Je t'aime aussi," her grandma replied (i love you too)
On the way to the kitchen, Ella placed her heels and phone on the small table next to the front door.
Figuring there was no point in having a full breakfast, she reached for an apple and poured herself a glass of fresh orange juice before placing herself in one of the seats next the table.
Looking at the clock, Ella checked them time- 11:02 am. With the 15-20 minute drive to Monaco (depending on traffic) and needing to find somewhere to park her car, Ella settled on leaving her house at 11:25. Soon enough that she wont have the time to tell herself it was a bad idea, but not so soon that she would end up in Monaco way earlier than she initially intended to arrive.
Ella took a bit out of the last part of her apple, before gulping down the rest of her juice. She placed her glass in the sink and walked towards her phone which she purposefully left away from where she ate to avoid looking at her social media, it would definitely put her off going out.
Ella headed back up to her bedroom to get a bag to place her belongings in, she placed the things she thought she would need into the back, a lip balm (rhode to be exact), her airpods just incase, and a few other things she assumed she would need.
Ella always found comfort in music, creating and listening to it. If she was ever stressed she would just place her airpods in her ears and she would instantly feel calmed, it reminded her of being a little girl singing in her room. It reminded her that everything would be okay.
Getting lost in her thoughts, ella realised it was very nearly 11:25. So putting a brave face she headed downstairs, bid farewell to her grandma, put her heels on and walked out the door.
