A Girl’s Diary novel Chapter 53

Just for a few hours, I had to hold it together. My plan was simple really. Fake it till you make it!

Step one

Get out of sight from Aurora as much as I could.

Step two

Get ready for the concert.

Step three

Perform.

Step four

Meet Alice.

Step five

Get to bed.

Easier said than done. Apparently, Aurora was furious I travelled without telling her and switched off my phone. But really, who would blame me?!

So after hearing my fair share of instructions and not trying to argue like normal, she was finally content and went on her merry way. Fucking finally!

After that it was easy to lose myself in the plan. I mean singing was what made me finally feel something real that wasn't pain. I loved every moment of it but unfortunately it had to come to an end.

And guess who was still missing.

Yes, exactly. Ron!

Everything was going normally and according to plan. On my way to changing, I saw Aurora talking to Desmond in a heated conversation.

However, my tiredness was more prominent than curiosity. I'd just ask later anyway. I made a mental note to ask how they even knew each other. Maybe he was the bodyguard of someone from the agency. It wasn't like there was some big secret, I mentally shrugged and went on my way.

Alice sent me a text three days ago with a location where we would meet. She wasn't my favourite person in the world but if she said my life was in danger then I was meeting her no matter what.

Of course, I didn't tell anyone but Desmond. Anyone else would just want to interfere and practically Desmond was supposed to drive me back in addition to being my bodyguard. So it wouldn't matter that we made a small detour.

He agreed to drive me wherever I wanted and respected my choice of not tell anyone about it until I knew what was happening. I really appreciated that!
