"come on! the gilinskys will be here in a minute!" my mother yelled up the stairs.

i sighed as i applied a final coat of mascara.

she was making me dress up to impress the gilinskys.

more like intimidate.

i stood up, letting my sky blue dress drop. it fell just below my knees and rested there comfortably.

i slid into my white three inch heels and fluffed up my hair. i slowly made my way downstairs, dreading what was going to happen tonight.

my mother was already sat in the dining room, in a sparkly bronze-coloured dress and matching shoes.

"you look really nice, mother." i complimented.

"i know." she replied impatiently. "now come, sit down. they'll be here any second."

my brother rushed through the door in black dress pants and a white button up.

after a minute of waiting, our butler led helen into the room.

i kept my head down as my mother rose to greet her.

"helen! so nice to see you again." she gushed.

i could tell she didn't mean it.

"hi julie."

out of the corner of my eye, i saw my mother and helen exchange brief hugs.

"you remember my kids, lucas and ruby?"

"yes, nice to see you both." helen smiled thinly at us.

"where's jack this evening?" my mother asked, taking her seat.

"ah, we've had a bit of a falling out." helen admitted. "i came home to him a bit intoxicated and he was scaring me. he was trying to touch me and i told him to get out. i'm not sure where he is."

i frowned.

as if.

"but it's alright, i'm sure he'll come home soon and everything will be back to normal." she smiled.

"dinner is served, madam." our butler interrupted, walking in with a large tray.

we all fell silent as he placed bowls of soup in front of us. i glanced up to see a familiar, scruffy-haired face.

"jayden?" i asked confusedly, louder than i should have.

he placed a plate in front of helen, then looked up at me and winked.

i watched in amazement as he walked around the room, placing small plates of bread in front of the four of us.

"may i be excused for a minute?" i quietly asked mother, who sighed and nodded.

i quickly got up and walked out of the room, into the kitchen, where jayden was stood casually.

"what're you doing here?" i asked.
