Denial

ch.34

"I'm off to spend a couple nights with Em. She just returned and- Wait why am I explaining myself to you? Let my mother know that I'll be back on Friday" I say following the help out with the rest of my stuff.

I feel holes burning in the back of my head as I'm walking down the stairs of the castles entryway doors. I turn around to see a furious Harry, his knuckles balled up into a fist as he then storms back into the castle.

I'm looking out of the window, I hear trumpets playing and I frown until I realize that it's just the ringtone for my mothers number. I debate whether or not to pick up, but I give in and close my eyes as I hesitantly answer the phone.

"Yes?" I ask, almost afraid to hear what she has to say.

"I was informed that you'll be staying with Emily until Friday. I'm a little upset that you hadn't informed me first, but I expect you here first thing Friday morning. I'll take care of everything, all you need to do is try on the dress I've ordered to be done for you. Be careful" She finally says, and I can truly say that I'm shocked at her casual reaction.

"Sure thing, see you then mother" I say and personally hang up before anything else breaks out. I sigh and lay my head back, I hear the divider slowly slide down and I peek an eye open.

"Sorry miss, where too?" The driver asks.

"Emily Borden's house please" I say taking my place back into the original position.

"Scar!Oh my god I missed the crap out of you!" Emily shrieks as I finally approach after the driver helps to bring in my bag.

"Missed you more Em" I giggle as I hug her back tightly.

"What's new? Did I miss anything?" She asks helping the driver bring in my bags and sets them in a separate room.

"Well, Harry's girlfriend moved into the castle and we're having a ball for my birthday on Saturday; Which of course you'll be attending with me. Other than that, it's been pretty uneventful" I shrug as I take place on one of her white couches in the living room.

"Uneventful? That seems both crappy and super fun, but you don't seem so excited for the ball?"

"I didn't really want to celebrate my birthday this year Em, I wasn't feeling it. Of course my mother had to totally ignore my wishes and she took it upon herself to throw a 'Birthday Ball'" I say rolling my eyes and resting my head on the top of my hand leaning into the couch.

"Look on the bright side, it seems really fun. And if not, you can count on me to help you ditch the scene" She giggles as she winks in my direction. Oh how I missed her, and although she doesn't know the situation with Harry quite yet I know that I can always count on my best friend.

"Oh my gosh I almost forgot! I received a new digital camera and the quality is absolutely gorgeous. Let's go take pictures out back, and put on like your silk robe or something to make it look all hipster and stuff" She says with a giggle as she jumps off of of the couch and opens a case with a beautiful black camera, Cannon.

After putting on my black silk nightgown, I make my way out back to the out house that is attached to her home. I see a glimpse of Em fixing up her camera on a stand, I can maybe use these pictures and maybe send them out to modeling agencies.

Ever since I was a little girl, I admired the women on the from cover of magazines my mother used to read. I would always mention modeling to my mother and father but they were always dodging the request, although my father would let it fly by he would always come into my room at night when my mother wasn't around.
