'male strip joint.'

OKAY SO I AM ABOUT TO BOARD A PLANE AND IM GOING TO QUICKLY WRITE THIS, BUT IT WILL MAINLY BE A TEXTING SCENE, ILL UPDATE WHEN I GET THE HOTEL AND THE UPDATE WILL BE DECENT, IM SORRYYY XXXX

Flinging a twenty dollar note at Michaels chest and shooting him a quick thank you Peters runs from the cab and towards the front of the large building, quickly unlocking the door and rushing towards the receptionist desk.

Sitting down Peter watches as people file into the room, glaring at the late receptionist as they made their way to the elevator.

Days seemed to drag on longer when she was at work, directing calls to different levels and offices.

"hello, you have reached Cryna and co, this is peter" Peter repeats the words she says often into the receiver as she starts to sharpen the end of a pen out of pure boredom.

"this is Calum Hood" the voice on the other end cracks slightly, ball squeak.

Flipping open the book of appointments peter runs her hand down the page, locating 'hood', "yes, mr hood, how can i help you?"

"can i just postpone my meeting?" Calum asks, clearing his throat.

"sure, what was your appointment for?" Peter resists the urge to fart as she speaks.

"my fashion studio" Calum pauses, "promotional stuff"

Peter flicks through the book, trying to find a opening, "three thirty?"

"perfect, thank you!" Calum squeals into the phone making Peter scowl, "bye"

As the line goes dead Peter leans back in her chair, ignoring emails that pop up on her screen.

Sarah Cryna: re. promotional offer

Luke Hemmo: i got a JOB!!!11!1

Alexander Gwyne: re. your mother.

Sal Gwyne: Flight details.

As her fathers name pops up on her screen Peter clicks on it, watching as a short paragraph appears.

Peter,

hi baby, i just thought i would let you know that your mother is suing me for something.. call me later?

anyway, i found out she was now with some hippy guy named Alex? Does she have a thing for guys named alex? lol..

and remember baby, if there any boys you need me to punch some sense into just call! love you,

- dad, 0349 - 8** - 6**

And that's when it really struck her, her family was the most dysfunctional family to live; her mother and her eco-friendly habits, Amanda and her fake persona, peters sister -sal - and how trusting she is, her father and his many whores and then there's peter, with her low expectations,

Not many got to know Peter enough to see how her family was so dysfunctional, they never met Lavender because Peter was so ashamed, they never met Alexander because she was afraid that he would turn up with one of his sluts, no one met Sal because Peter was scared that she would break into one of her sob stories about the last time she went to America to meet some boy (even though the guy never showed up), no one saw it, they saw the perfect side of peter, with her family that give her enough space as she needed. Yes, her life was amazing compared to some peoples home situations but nor was it ideal.

Placing down her phone Peter sighs, checking the time quickly.

11:59.

The day Peter would have to once again endure was going to be long and boring, full of meetings, business men and coffee.
