Chapter 28: Behave

*Tom's POV*

So brining Emma's Mom- Andrea over wasn't such a good idea... Thankfully Emma came home safely and she apologised to me for storming out the house and being horrible to Andrea.

A month had gone by since Emma's birthday and she had been traveling between Hawaii and England because she was filming 'Jurassic World' which she had been training so hard for. Emma had determination, she wanted to make everyone proud and show how brilliant she was at acting. During the month I had been looking at a new role in 'I saw the light' with Elizabeth Oslen; Emma has a thing in her head that Elizabeth and I should get together so it is now her goal in life to get us together... Emma is trying to be the new Cupid... As you can imagine it's a nightmare!

Today Emma and I were going to Andrea's house for dinner now because Emma is playing Cupid she invited Elizabeth along so it's not awkward... How that works I have no idea. I tried to tell Elizabeth that she didn't have to come but she wanted to be there for Emma which I thought was very kind of her.

Elizabeth and I were currently talking about Emma and how she was handling seeing her Mom today...

"How is she?" Elizabeth asked as we were stood in the kitchen waiting for Emma.

I sighed. "She avoids the subject," I told her. "I hope she knows I'm not doing this to hurt her."

"You're just trying to make her see that her Mother still cares," She stated softly. "It'll be okay."

"I'm ready to go," Emma said softly from the door way.

I smiled softly at her. "Come on then," I told her.

Elizabeth said she'd drive us there, so the three of us got in her car and started our journey to Emma's Mom's house. Emma sat texting on her phone; Most likely Chris Pratt asking how his lot of filming went. I was happy Emma was getting on so well with her co- workers but I just hoped she remembered to have fun and still be a kid.

As we pulled up to the house Emma seemed to tense up...

"She still lives here?" Emma asked herself.

I frowned and looked at the house then back to Emma. "What do you mean?" I asked her.

"This was my house," She mumbled and got out the car.

Elizabeth and I shared a worried look; I was mentally praying Emma would behave herself.. She was a great kid but since the trouble with James she's found it hard to control what she says and feels which is understandable.

We rung the door bell and waited a few seconds. "Oh we tried, lets go," Emma said and turned away but the door opened.

"Hello!" Andrea.

"So close," Emma whispered.

"Come on in, dinner will be a few minutes," Andrea told us and let us in.

Emma went in first and we followed, we all went into the living room and sat on the sofa as Andrea went into the living room...

"Well this is Awkward," Emma stated.

"Emma at least act like you want to be here," I mumbled. "Please just be nice, your Mom just wants to get to know you again."

Emma sighed. "Yeah well I didn't ask for this," She mumbled and got up walking over to the fire place and stared at the photos. "Look at this, fake, lies, an act!"

"Emma stop and look at your dance pictures, they cared enough to buy you lessons, costumes, they sent you to competitions," I told her.

"It still hurts," She mumbled. "They never truly loved me."
