Reaching for Happiness

Chapter 76

*Normal POV*

A week later, and I was sat at home on the sofa with Aston, watching the usual crap that was on TV during the evening. ALL my hair was gone now, and I hated it. I hated myself. I was a mess. I'd sat at home the whole time since we got back from the hospital.. I didn't want the paps to see, and start writing stories.. I didn't want the world to know. It was MY business, nobody else's.. Why would I want the whole country talking about me, and pitying me? I didn't want their pity.

Just at that moment, Aston's phone started ringing.

'One second babe' he said, as I sat forward, so he could get up.

'Hello?' he spoke down the phone. I sat watching the TV, although I wasn't paying attention to what the TV was saying, I was listening in to Aston's phone call.

'Oh, hi!' 'Yeah, I'm good, how are you?' 'That's good to hear' 'Probably, why?' 'Naaaah, sorry, I can't' 'Alright, bye!' he said, hanging up and coming back down to sit with me.

'Who was that?' I asked.

'Some guy from our management' he smiled, kissing my cheek.

'What did he want?' I was being nosy, but I was just curious.

'He wanted to know if we could go to a movie premier next week, but I said no' he said.

'Why?' I asked.

'Well, I didn't think you'd want to go out..' he said.. How thoughtful of him.

'You should go on your own! Jay doesn't have a girlfriend, so you'll be fine!' I smiled.

'No, I don't want to go without you.. I'll stay here' he smiled.

'Fine, I'll go.. I'll just wear a hat or something. Nobody will know' I said.

'Babe, you can't wear a hat at a red carpet event!' he chuckled. 'It's fine, honestly!'

'Well.. I could wear a wig?' I suggested.

'You know what? That's actually quite a good idea..' he said.

'Will you be able to pick one up for me?' I asked.

'Sure, but um.. I don't really know what to get. Should I ask my stylist? She could choose one for you' he suggested.

'Okay.. So we're going then' is smiled.
