In Omnia Paratus (AU) - Book 2

Violent outburst

"Would it be at all possible for me to nip out and see my friends?" I asked the security guy that was guarding the little stage bit and the bit where we had our hair and make up done.

"Go ahead." The man said letting me go pass and I was thrilled to get past as I saw Matt wandering into the room and assumed that Lily and Violet were behind him.

"Jenna." Matt greeted me placing both his hands on my hips and kissing me gently. I drew away quickly completely freaked out as to why he was doing this in public. "What wrong?"

"Lily could walk in any minute." I frowned at him.

"She could but she literally just went to use those fancy bathrooms over there and there's a long queue so I doubt she'll be back any time soon." Matt laughed kissing me again at which I kissed back this time.

"How's Violet?" I asked.

"She's been good, can I just say you look really nice." Matt smiled at me with some look I'd never seen before.

"I bloody hope so, I've been here all day and I've got six outfit changes and I'm crapping myself because not only is my boyfriend, best friend and sister in the audience but the big boss is here and if he doesn't like something you're out." I mumbled scared.

"Hey, don't be worried about us. We're just here to support you not judge you. And in my opinion I think you look fantastic so this boss guy can go fuck himself if he wants to fire you." Matt joked.

"Thanks Hun. I've got to go, tell Violet I say hi." I kissed Matt's cheek before heading off away back to behind the curtain where all the girls were getting ready.

"Oh my gosh Jenna you look so cute." A girl came up to me completely amazed to see me. Alright I had to admit, I did look really cool. I was modelling like casual clothes, so nice jeans and trousers and cool crop tops and strap tops, with jackets that I asked if I could keep.

"You've changed so much since I last saw you." The girl continued.

"Oh really? I don't know, I'm wearing a bit of make up and my hairs different..." I shrugged looking down at what I was wearing and then ruffling my hair back.

"You've obviously become very used to the job haven't you? You seem a lot more confident especially doing a show like this?" She said.

"It's my fourth one now." I smiled at her.

"Wow, look I'm up next but I'll see you later." She smiled moving away from me and head towards her group of girls, she was a lot older than me, I think her name was Sara but I don't really remember. She mentored me when I joined but I didn't see her since.

"Jenna you're up." I heard Kaitlin my like best friend in modelling. She was similar age to me and went to a different boarding school nearby. She grabbed my arm as she knew that the next costume change we were modelling together.

"You were amazing. No joke. I literally envy you so much right now." Lily enclosed me in a hug almost straight away.

"I did ok?" I asked nervously.

"I've never seen you so confident Jen. Wasn't she good Violet?" Lily asked squeezing violets hand.

"I clapped for you." She sang beginning to pull at my clothes and I eventually picked her up and she gave me a big kiss. "I love your dress." Violet said shyly playing with my hair.

"Did you? Thank you." I grinned holding her on my hip as she was clearly getting tired. "What did you guys do while I was gone?" I asked Lily and Matt as Violet rested her head on my shoulder.
