Mommy...Where's Daddy? [l.p]

Space.

Emma.

I woke up to my alarm clock blaring; I groaned and hit the button.

"Morning sleepy head, time for work." a voice said, I looked over and saw Lily, getting dressed in her dance gear.

"I know, I know, I'm getting up." I said, throwing the covers over me and sitting up.

"How are you feeling?" she asked, sitting next to me.

"I'm okay; it's feeling a lot better."

"You know I'm not talking about your leg, Em" she said, referring to the talk I had with Liam. He said he needed space, I agreed that I did too but I lied for his sake, I don't want to be apart from him.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said, giving her a small smile and getting up, going in the bathroom to shower.

When I finished my shower I got dressed into my Creme, red heart printed, high-low shirt and my red skinny jeans. I pulled my hair back into a braid that led to the bottom of my back, leaving my bangs out.

"Lily!?" I called out to her several times, she came into the bathroom.

"What? Are you dying or something?" she asked, out of breath, making me giggle when I saw how serious her face was.

"No, I'm very much alive. I need an idea on makeup." I told her, she examined me for a while, and then made me close my eyes, and I felt her apply eye shadow and lipstick.

"Open." she said, when she finished, when I opened my eyes I smiled, I haven't been to work in a while, I forgot how I looked with makeup on, I only wear it to work, I work at Forever 21 so, I kind of fit the description, even though I'm not bubbly, I don't think I could ever do that, it's annoying if you're not a kid.

"Thanks Lilly, you're life saver" I said, giving her a small hug before slipping on my white flats and throwing my white tote bag over my shoulder. I went down the steps to see Ellie in her Ballerina outfit and her two pig tails, Lily said she would take her to her dance classes again, I haven't really had the time, she looked over at me and ran two my legs, I crouched down and smiled at her.

"Be a good girl for Mummy, okay."

"I will."

"Promise?"

"Promise." she said, kissing my cheek, I smiled at her and stood up, about the walk out the door until Ellie screamed, I turned towards her.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"Daddy, Harry and Niall are stuck in the T.V with big bird Mummy" she said, looking alarmed, I couldn’t help but laugh.

"They're not stuck, it's just a show."

"Then why hasn't daddy called?" she said frowning, I sighed, feeling bad.

"Because Daddy's at work and is really busy, he will be back soon." Lily said, walking out of the kitchen with Ellie's cup, I gave her a small smile and she gave me a cheeky one, making me smile for real this time and leave.

When I arrived, I sighed, preparing myself for the paparazzi and stopped my car, getting out, I kept my head down, but I had to look up to see where I was going, which was a bad idea, I almost got trampled.

"Leave me alone." I groaned.

"Answer a few questions and we'll leave you be." a dude said, I looked over at him, he was young, wearing baggy, clothing, I rolled my eyes and kept walking, until he step in front of me, flashing pictures, I covered my eyes, making me drop my bag.

"Fuck off." I said, getting pissed, I reached down to get my bag but I was late, one of them already snatched it up.

"Give me my bag." I said, my voice coming out stern and annoyed.

"Answer first."

"Give me my bag, I'm not going to sit here and debate with people, I don't have to answer to you but  you do have to give me my bag back." I said, reaching for it but he snatched it.

"Helloooo, listen, over here, all of you." I heard an ever so familiar voice...Lily. I pushed pass them to get to her side but they circled around us.

"Listen, all of you pricks. She has a job to get to and I have a baby that needs to gets to her rehearsal, so either you guys leave now or I'll have to call Paul, do you guys want to get sued again?" she asked, snapping at them, I fought off my smile and snatched my bag away from the guy.

"Forgot this at home." she said, handing me my phone and ID card.

"Thanks, behave yourself." I said to her, smiling.

"Ellie's in the car" she said, confused.

"I know." I said, it took a while for her to figure it off before she playfully flipped me off, making me laugh, I walked inside the store, pushing past, the still shocked paparazzi.

I took my ID card and slipped it into the sign in thingy, it didn't say I was late, probably because of my stalkers outside.

"Welcome back." my boss told me, giving me a hug.

"Thanks." I said, feeling a little awkward, she never hugs me.

"You look gorgeous." she said.

"Thanks.." I trailed off a bit as I stared at her blankly.

"You okay?"

"Why aren't we open?"

"There's a conference for you and my boss." she said, sighing, I frowned; these conferences never turn out well for others.

"Why?"

"I don't know but you should go in." she said, pointing to her office.

"Alright." I said, opening up the door, and walking in.

"Hello Emma." My boss' boss said.

"Hello." I said, sitting.

"I didn't think you would still be working here sense you're dating a rich guy." she said, I arched an eyebrow, crossing my arms across my chest, she's about to ask for something.

"What do you want from me?" I asked.

"What do you-" she started but I cut her off.

"I'm not dumb, I know you're about to ask for something and if it's regarding any of the guys it's a no." I said, not expecting that to come out, it's Lily's fault, she's rubbed her sassiness on me.

"Wow, you're very straight point, unlike before. Is it because of your boyfriend?"

"He's not my 'fricking boyfriend!" I yelled, annoyed, your boyfriend, your boyfriend, your boyfriend, people just won’t leave me alone.

"What is he then?"

"A friend, don't worry about it, that's none of your business, is that all that you want?" I asked.

"Yeah and I think you should take the day, blow off some steam." she said, meaning get out of her face, I sighed and left, slamming the door, ever since Liam people has just been asking for crap and it's really annoying, I know a lot of things annoy me but at least I don't lie and put up with it, I would die.

"How'd it go?" my boss asked me.

"Horrible...for her sake" I said, leaving out, I drove off not knowing where I was headed until I decided on my beach house; it was the closest thing to me so I just drove there. I got out my car and walked up the steps, smiling as I walked in, remembering a lot of things, my brother used to call this our hide away castle to escape from our parents and their arguing. The last time I was here was when I needed somewhere to start, when I first left Zayn.

After a while of just laying on my bed I decided to go play, I haven't played since my brother left, he was my teacher, he taught me how to play my favorite song, I went outside, the back door where there was a dock leading to a huge platform, I went over to the patio where my piano sat and started playing.

"I never loved nobody fully...always one foot on the ground and by protection my heart truly, I got lost in the sound…. I hear in my mind all this voices, I hear in the mind all this words, I hear in my mind all this music, and it breaks my heart, and it breaks my heart, and it breaks my heart, and it breaks my heart” I sang, getting lost in the song after a while.
