Model Behavior [Watty 2013]

**Chapter 9-Home For The Holidays...What will happen...?**

~A Few Months Later~

“Why are you all being mean and making me go see my mom?” I ask packing some of my clothes.

“Maybe because it is Christmas Bri.” Cam says lying on my bed.

I shrug, “Why should it matter she has not called me since I left.”

Cam looks down, “Would it be easier if I went with you for the couple days you are there?”

I look up at him, “You would not like my mom.”

He laughs, “Oh I know I have heard the war stories.”

I look at the door, “Fine I have to head out in half an hour.”

He nods and runs out the door. I hear him saying something before the others run into my room.

“Is he really going home with you for the like day and a half you are at your mom’s?” Elliot asks.

I smile at his arm around Vivienne waist. Elliot and Vivienne and Eli and Dylan all started dating a month after my interview. Our calendars have slowed down. Well a little I still have a lot of photo shoots to do.

“Yeah I figured if he went it would be easier for me to get out if she starts in on me again.” I say looking at Dylan who knows what I am talking about.

“I am confused.” Eli says.

Dylan laughs, “Whenever she comes home after being away for a while her mom find things to pick a fight with her over. Like after our trip after we graduated she came back and her mom yelled at her for getting a tan.”

Eli looks at me, “She is joking right?”

I shake my head, “No she’s not.”

I sit on my bed and slip on my dark brown heeled boots over my dark wash skinny jeans. I stand up and straighten my cream colored sweater dress.

“I have to go to the gym some more. I look fat.” I say.

“Not this again.” Cam says walking into the room.

“Well quit making me eat fatty foods.” I say looking at him.

“What did your dad say?” He asks me.

“Well my dad is not the one who will be yelled at by my mom when she sees me.” I say.

He sighs, “You ready?”

I nod and he walks over and grabs my bag, “I will be right back up.”

I hand Eli my keys, “He may need these.”

He laughs, “I am going to follow to see how long before he gets angry.”

I laugh and go to my coat. It is a dark brown coat with fur around the collar. I grab my cream colored bag before heading for the door.

“Take care of dad while I am gone. I will call if I leave early.” I say hugging Dylan and Vivienne.

I can hear Eli laughing up the stairs, “Come on man that way funny.”

I can hear Cam grunt, “No it was not.”

“How long?” I ask.

“After he tried using his key I would say a few minutes.” Eli says handing me my keys.

“You guys are mean.” Cam says walking into the apartment and grabbing his coat before coming out and locking the door.

“We will be back in a few days unless my mom pisses me of.” I say hugging the boys.
