I can do this. I have surrvived my mothers lavish, over the top parties agian and agian. I've never really had the spotlight on me like this before though. My birthday parties were always shared with scar and when she ran away my mother stopped giving me a party so as not to draw attention to Scar's absence. sure i guess this party was also for Jeffery but lets get real my mother only thought of him as a trophy i had won.
I pulled on skinny white jeans and a navy top. Navy looked good with my sparkling engagement ring. I quickly slipped on strappy brown sandals and darted out of the door.
I arrived at my mothers house muffin in hand at 8:00am
"Angel" she kissed both checks "come look at this!" she ushered me to the dinning area. We were having dinner with the family at 7:00 pm then the party for all our friends was at 8:30 pm. The table decor and place setting was emaculate. Every thing was white, silver and Tiffianys box blue.
"Mom, wow" I looked over the names on the place setting. " Where is Scarlett's name?". She laughed
"You don't think she'd actually show up?"
"Mom yes she is. She will be here at 4:00 pm."
"So exact. She is late to everything. What makes you think she made her flight? I bet she's still asleep."
I pursed my lips "just get her a card"

On a non stop flight from lax to New York City it takes 6 hours but if your like me and take connecting flights then you end up sitting in Indianapolis airport At 12:00 pm hoping you get to New York by two because it that's two hours to get to the Hamptons. My next stop was New York so I should probably put on my dress now. I was actually pretty proud of myself. My red fit and flare dress was very conservative and I hastely slipped on some nude Loubatons with red underneath. My sister will die she loves these shoes. Speak of the devil she was calling me now.
"Where are you scar? mom thinks you arnt coming." she said worriedly. She was always worried.
"I'm in Illinois. I'll be there about 2:15 ish"
"Well I can't be there to pick you up then because I have to worry about the food and keep mom under control. She's going CRAZY! ugh!" She sounds pretty bad off. She stresses easily.
"Don't worry about it babe just send one of mothers staff members. She always over staffs and I'm sure they would be glad to get rid of her for 4 hours. Just don't send Miguel. I hate him because he smells like cheese" she laughed.
"Ok I will.... love you"
"Love you too". I turned off my phone because I was about to board.

When I got to the airport a very attractive yet bored looking man in his late 20's held a bedazzled sign with my name. Wow she needs to chill with all the crafts.
He smiled at me. "Nice to finally meet the notorious Scarlett Stratton" what a prick. Who says that?
"Who the fuck are you?" he looked shocked. Before he could respond I said "whatever at least you're not Miguel."
He laughed. "Wow you are something else." He lead me to his black Audi and that's when I noticed his attire. White button down, prada?, navy dress pants, defiantly Gucci. I peeked at his shoes. You can tell a lot about a man from his shoes. He wore, I kid you not, dark plum coloured Ralf Lauren lofer slip ons. Major prick.
He was gorgeous. Apparently rich and obviously entitled. You can tell that sort of thing when you grow up with entitled rich kids. Everything I can't stand rolled in to one man.
"Would you like to listen to some music?" he asked.
"Beats sitting in silence for two hours."
"Wow, you just live to argue."
"Excuse me?"
"Oh, I've heard stories." he said.
"Don't pretend like you know me. Just shut the fuck up and play the dam music" my cheeks were hot. This is what New York, my family, the people that surrounded us did to me. I just hate it all. I closed my eyes.
Shit. The Artic Monkeys why do you only call me when your high came on. He has great taste in music.

"Hey babe! what's up" great. I Do not have time for Jeff to bother me right now. Can't he see I'm busy? he grabbed my waist and kissed me. "You look so sexy when your being domestic like this." I pushed him off.
"I'm crazy busy babe. I can't go pick up my sister because I have too much to do." I said.
"I'll go! she's in New York right?" I stared at him hesitantly wondering if it was the best idea. "I just want to help." yeah right that and get away from my mothers madness.
"Ok go" I said. He kissed me and then left. I picked up my phone and texted her.
" Jeff is coming to pick you up because Miguel is too busy but he sends his regards ;)"
I'm so funny.

I was interrupted from my daze when I heard tires screech. I looked at my watch. 5:25 pm. Yes just in time. I saw her walk in the door. A vision in red. Her blonde hair had loose curls. He green eyes were especially bright with her dark gray eyeshadow. We embraced wildly for a minute or so and when we finally broke apart I opened my mouth to speak but my mouth filled with Jeff's tongue instead of words.
"Baby let us catch up" I said to him. I noticed Scar has an odd look on her face. He smiled amused.
"And make me go help your mother?" he said playfully. "How cruel." he kissed me and left with a smirk.
