BRING ME TO LIFE // Prince William

Chapter Two - It's Show Time!

Evelyn wasn't in the mood to get up that morning, but she did anyways.  She groaned as she felt the after effects of a hangover.  Holding her head with both hands to try and stop the pounding headache as she got out of her cosy bed and headed into her kitchen.  Opening up her medicine cabinet, she sighed in relief as she realised that she still had some ibuprofen left over, she also opened her fridge and got out a sport's drink, guzzling it as she swallowed the pill.

Deciding to let that settle for a bit, she made some breakfast, going for the usual oatmeal with whole wheat toast.

As the water was heating up, she decided at this time to open up her agenda and look at her list that she had planned for today.

. Last minute fittings

. Talk with the makeup artist for the models

. Make sure all of the models can be there

. Get all the organising done

. Security detailing

. Final run-through 

. SHOW TIME!

She let out an exhausted sigh.  All of the final preparations for her fashion show tonight were tiring and she was always made sure to clear her schedule the next day so that she could sleep.  But she was always immensely proud of her hard work and dedication that she put into her work.  She loved what she did and never felt as if it were work.

Making her way into The Royal Opera House where her fashion show was taking place later that night.  It was finally the day of her show and she could not be more excited and anxious about it.  She knew that her brother, Eric, would be coming to it in support of her and would be bringing a guest.  It's been a few weeks since her break up and although she was still hurting, she was putting all of her time and energy into her work while she stayed at her sister, Vivienne's place.

The Royal Opera House was decorated very minimalistic.  Not a lot of decorations but she still wanted there to be some.  Every few aisles Evelyn made sure to have a small amount of flowers that were pink peonies. 

When Eric told her that it was Prince William she thought he was joking as she recalled their conversation earlier.  She had met William a few times before seeing as her brother was in the same unit as William.  She knew Prince William had been in the military for a year now along with his brother, Prince Harry.  It made headline news when the two Prince's joined the military.  

William walked past the flashing lights with Eric as they made their way into the building.  At Evelyn's shows she always had photographers there capturing the moment every time someone famous walked in.  She was known to have celebrities and other fashion designers at her shows along with her parents.  Unfortunately they wouldn't be at the show tonight though as her father wasn't feeling as well and was down with a cold.  Nonetheless, he still managed to wish a  good luck text the morning of the show in hopes that it all went well regardless of not being able to come.  

There were around four hundred guests at The Royal Opera House.  Some were other fashion designers like Elie Saab, Victoria Beckham, actresses such as Naomi Campbell, Kate Winslet, Emma Watson, Emily Blunt and her husband John Krasinski.  Michelle Dockery and her friends, one of Evelyn's good friends Tom Hiddleston, Jenna Coleman and many others.

Evelyn looked past the curtain as she opened it back stage seeing loads of people taking their seats.  Her eyes scanning until they settled on the first row seeing her older brother Eric and Prince William with him.  She let out a relieved sigh knowing that they were there and hoped that he hadn't had any difficulty with getting in.  She knew how much Prince William disliked photographers.  Evelyn felt bad for having them here tonight but it was a usual at her shows and the show must carry on regardless of what happens.
