After the film we went upstairs to go get ready. I decided to wear my glasses today to give my contacts a rest for once. I straightened my hair and applied light make up. Today was a lazy day so I figured I wouldn't need much. (A/N outfit in the media section)
"You ready Em?" Charlie shouted from his bedroom. (I was in the bathroom)
"Yeah, coming out now," I said walking it onto the landing.
"You look beautiful Em," Charlie smiled.
"Liar," I giggled.
"Hey, I'm an honest man! I don't tell lies. Your beautiful,"
"Hehehe, come on, lots to do before Paris tomorrow!" I squeaked in excitement.
The walk to my house was nice. The cool, January breeze smacking my cheeks but it comforted me of home. In the distance, snow sprinkled the hill tops.
"You cold?" Charlie asked smirking as I shivered.
"Yeah, freezing," I smiled.
"Want my jacket?"
I just shook my head in response.
"Why,"
"Because it reminds me of every Christmas time. You know... Out in the snow, can't feel your fingers. Also it's like New York,"
"I'll come visit you in New York more often," he smiled. "Take me on a tour,"
"You should," I winked. "Then you can come see my show,"
"Absolutely,"
"That's a point, I need to keep stretched because if I go downhill, I won't be as good and then..." I started panicking until Charlie grabbed my arm and smashed his lips on mine.
"Stop panicking princess, you'll be great," he soothed. "When do you have to go back?"
"January 15th," I sighed. I wanted to go back because I miss New York but I didn't want to leave Charlie, Leo, Victoria and my family. The time I've spent at home has made me realise how much I miss them when I'm away. The rest of the walk was more or less silent. Not an awkward silence, a comforting one. When we arrived at my house, it was empty like I expected it to be. Mum and dad were at work. Mel at Tilly's. Jordi probably with the boys or Morgan.
"Let's get started then!" I said as I pulled Charlie upstairs to start going through all my stuff.
About 2 hours later, we had cleared my wardrobe out and got rid of all my high school work. Come on, what's the point in keeping it? We had moved on to my chest of drawers. When we were about half way through it, Charlie came across an old scrapbook. It was worn but I didn't care.
"Emily, what about this? Keep, New York or bin?" Charlie asked. My eyes teared up as they landed on it. The leather rough against my skin. Stickers on the front that were still firmly pressed on.
"Keep, definitely keep," I said.
"What is it?"
"It's a scrap book that Grace made me for my birthday, four weeks before she died," I said as I let tears fall freely from my face. "It's got every memory of us ever captured in it,"
"I'm sorry," Charlie said as he pulled me on to his knee and kissed me forehead as I flicked through the pages. Pictures of Jordi, Grace and I plastered the pages. Tickets from concerts, train and bus tickets, even Niall's guitar pick from One Direction's first tour that she took me to. A photo of her and Jordi when mum gave birth to me. Every memory.
"It's beautiful," Charlie whispered. I nodded as I finished the book.
"Come on, there's more to do," I said trying to distract myself from Charlie's latest discovery. Charlie smiled and we carried on.
Another two hours later and we were finally finished! That took longer than I expected. Afterwards, we went downstairs for some snacks and I decided to educate Charlie in the TV program world of Dance Moms. Possibly the best program made in history (along with Dance Mums - it's British equivalent).
Least to say he wasn't as impressed as I was at the amount of pirouettes in sink that Chloe, Maddie, Mackenzie, Nia, Kendall, Brooke and Paige could do, but hey ho.
It was getting late now and we both still needed to pack for tomorrow.
"I'm going to go princess, early start tomorrow and let's be honest, neither of us have packed yet," Charlie giggled.
"Okay babe," I said standing up so Charlie could get up.
"Blair will pick you up at 3am prompt then it's to Leo's to pick up him and Victoria then finally me," he reminded.
"Okay, love you,"
"Love you too princess, see you tomorrow," Charlie said hugging me and kissing me lightly on the lips. Then out the door he went.
Now, to packing...
