I stormed upstairs and whipped out my suitcase. I rumbled through it and got out my knife, I can’t handle myself right now. I ran into the bathroom and sat in a corner. Tears ran down my face and I positioned the knife on my ankle and pressed in against my skin.

A knock on the door startled me and I sat the knife down. ”Maria”, Blake shouted. I panicked and stood and he was at the door “Blake what are you doing in my room?”

“I’m here to stop you, I know what you were coming up here to do”.

I peeked back at the knife I slid under the sink “You don’t care about me, so just go back down with your beautiful date and leave me alone, I can handle myself”.

“Please give me the knife”, he said. I huffed and bent down to get the knife and put it back on safety “Now can you leave?” I handed it to him.  

“Look Maria, last night was a accident ok, I was drunk and you knew that”.

“Sure, look I have to go, can you please just let it go and leave”.

He backed away “I’m not good for you Maria”; he frowned and left out the door. That didn’t just happen…

Day 1-

I arrived back in London at 4 this morning and got a call at 7 telling me I got the Job. Last night events just played over and over in my head…

And now I have to work with the guy. I wore a gray skirt and white slim button up with cream heels. I curled my hair and put my makeup on the way mom would like it, now she was going to be proud of me. 

*Flashback*

A competition was held at the Capital of New Orleans and my sister Mia was by my side with a big smile on her face. She was 4; this was her first competition in the Jr squad.

The announcer called my name and I kissed my sister on the cheek and made my way to the stage, they went crazy. By this time I had made my name national and everyone knew me across the seas. Little miss London was my name.

I did all the correct turns and struts but messed up in my speech on one word. I cried in front of everyone and walked off the stage. I don’t remember what was my problem, oh yeah yes I do; mom was standing there with the biggest frown on her face.

Once I got to her side, she grabbed my hair and pulled me backstage. I whimpered and hid my face from all the young girls watching me.

“How could you embarrass me like that”, my mom let go of my hair.

“I- I was nervous, I don’t know why”, I cried.

“Your little sister will outshine you, you’re nothing but a walking excuse! If you loose this trophy I will take everything away from you”, she spun around and stalked away.

I took a handkerchief and wiped away my tears and smiled walking back outside, I had to be the example of excellence…

Present day***

I walked in the main office of the Winter’s Tower and went over to the front desk receptionist “Hi, Maria Rossi; can I get transferred to the 6th floor?”

She looked down at her computer and smiled up at me “No need for a transfer, you’re registered already, go right up; code is 3876 on the elevator”.

“Thank you”, I nodded and made my way upstairs.

I stepped in the elevator with a group of people and pressed 6.. Here we go.

The elevator door opened and the floor was buzzed with energy. I walked in slowly and paused to look around. It was just like on the movies. The one stuck up women who walks around on her phone and yell at her worker, the Fashion designers with big bundles of fabric, the Big office in the back with Winter’s Inc on the wall.

I walked slowly to the pretty lady behind the front desk “Hi, I’m Maria Rossi; I start work here today”.

She looked up at me and I think my eyes went wide; this was the lady from last night “Great you could make it this morning. By the look of things last night I couldn’t tell if you didn’t just jump off the roof”. I could’ve sworn she had different color hair last night.

Yep I don’t like her… “Can you buzz me in Mr. Winter’s Office please?” I smiled. “He’s waiting on you, go right in”, she pressed a button and I walked through the big black doors.
