Thursday, January 1st

OMG, yes! A BRAND NEW YEAR! Just freakin' amazing! Hey! Soon enough, it's my birthday! Well... In a month, but yay! So many possibilities that can happen this year! I'm so excited!

~Living Room~

Heather: "Morning, Mom, Dad, Hugo and Emilia."

I sat on the empty seat on any of our three leather couches and flopped right into it.

Mom (Kate): "Morning sweetie! Happy New Year!"

Dad (Richard): "Yeah, happy new year kiddo!"

Heather: "Thanks."

We were all watching some television, but not the news (thank goodness!), just some random channel.

Heather: "So... Anything specific we're going to do for New Year's Eve?"

Mom (Kate): "We'll have a big and great diner as a family!"

Heather: "Just us, then?"

Dad (Richard): "Yeah."

Heather: "That sounds like a plan!"

Mom (Kate): "Me and your father will be out soon to buy the ingredients we'll need to cook!"

Heather: "Sure! I'll be here waiting."

I went to the kitchen to go grab myself a snack, when Uncle H walked in after me.

Hugo: "Heather?"

Heather: "Yeah?"

His expression was worried, stressed and a 'I don't know what to do!' face.

Hugo: "Heather... You know how much I like Emilia, right?"

Heather: "Of course! What about it?"

He looked down on his feet and started getting all red from embarrassment.

Hugo: "W-When will it be the r-right time to..."

He trailed off for awhile until he finished with...

Hugo: "Ask h-her o-out?"

He looked away from me and looking outside if there's any signs someone will be coming.

Heather: "I get it... New year, new possibilities."

I came closer to him and patted his back amicably.

Heather: "The best time would be... Soon. Y'know, when the stupid craze will go away..."

Hugo: "How about if it will never go away?"

I sighed deeply thinking about it.

Heather: "It will go away, like any celebrity gossip goes... Well, if it doesn't, ask in the right time."

Hugo: "Give an example of good timing."

Heather: "Remember the fireworks that happened in November? That the view was close to this house?"

Hugo: "Yeah?"

Heather: "That's a good one! The beautiful colors launched into the night sky and then you kiss under them..."

Hugo: "I'm asking her out! Not trying to find a perfect place to kiss her!"

Heather: "Yeah, right... She's going to look so adorable when she answers you and you'll be like, 'Omg, she so adorable. I have to smooch her ASAP'"

Hugo: "Not true!"

Heather: "Shut up, you will!"

Someone came in to the kitchen, without us knowing!

Emilia: "What's all these arguing about?"

We both faced her with our faces looking funny and we were so scared that she heard our conversation.

Heather: "W-What arguing? We weren't-"

Hugo: "Yeah! We weren't! We were just..."

Emilia: "If Hugo has a crush on someone, he should go to me for advice, okay?"

I rolled my eyes not believing how dense she is.

Hugo: "Sure. Can I tell you when fireworks will be launched?"

Emilia: "So, midnight?"

Hugo: "Yes."

Emilia: "Okay, then... I'll be right there at midnight..."

Hugo: "Thanks."

She left the the room smiling a bit to him and finally closed the door.

Heather: "Uncle... She's dense..."

Hugo: "She's not..."

Heather: "C'mon! You give her all those hints and she still doesn't get it!"

Hugo: "Just- Maybe a tiny bit. But, she wrong anymore! Know why? Cause, I'm telling her tonight."

I looked to him with a shocked and excited face.

Heather: "You're telling her tonight?"

Hugo: "Y-Yeah..." *blush face*

Heather: "Your true feelings?"

Hugo: "Y-Yes..."

I squealed a bit and you told me to keep it down, but I can't help it!

Heather: "Don't you think it's a bit early-"

Hugo: "It's either now or never, Heather. I chose it to be now."

Heather: "That's the spirit! Good luck!"

Hugo: "Thanks."

There was an awkward silence and we both just sighed having nothing to say.

Heather: "I... Got some work to take care of so..."

Hugo: "Yeah, sure. Go ahead."

Heather: "Y-Yeah... I just go... Yeah."

I go out of the kitchen room and started heading up the stairs to my bedroom.

I was on my computer surfing through the web, when I heard my two parents yell out of nowhere, so I ran all the way downstairs to check what the heck is going on.

Heather: "What's going on here?!"

Mom (Kate): "Explain me this, Heather! Right now!"

She pointed through the direction of the television and me, Hugo and the others getting out of the clothing store yesterday.

Mom (Kate): "You have grabbed the whole paparazzis attention!"

Heather: "What do you mean I grabbed their full attention?!"

Dad (Richard): "Apparently, one of them noticed you and has told his whole community! We're all over the news! We wanted to get away from the public eye, but it's not working, because of your screw up!"

Heather: "Everything is my fault huh? Is this what it is?! Look, I didn't even want to have this life, okay? Don't you think it's not hard for me? That I wanted to be born with all this fame and they can't stop minding my own business?"

My whole year goal plan has gone downhill! It only lasted for four months and I wasn't half way through! My whole new life is falling apart! I-I can't! I don't want this to fall apart! I thought I had my life together... I was so close! Only if they haven't found me!!

Mom (Kate): "Honey! We are not saying it's completely your fault-"

Heather: "Yes, you guys' are! Dad even said I failed our plan because of my screw up! You know what? That wasn't even your original plan at all! You both wanted to be noticed by everyone and you exaggerated. Being invisible to the public eye was our idea? No, it was mine! You guys' are hypocrites!"

Dad (Richard): "Heather-"

Heather: "Shut up! I don't want to hear anything from both of you! Nothing! You understand?!"

Mom (Kate): "Don't you ever say that to us ever again young lady!"

Heather: "Too bad! I just did!"

I angrily went up the stairs and stopped dead in my tracks at the middle of the stairs.

Heather: "You know who's really fault it is? It's both of you. Maybe if you didn't have me, you wouldn't have my screw up."

After finishing, I continued again to walk up to my room and I haven't heard anything from my parents after that.

(T ^ T)(T ^ T)(T ^ T)(T ^ T)(T ^ T)(T ^ T)

To relive my frustration and my anger, I was doing my homework in my room. When I received a message from FriendSpace. It was anonymous but it read:

At the park. Close to the swing sets. ASAP.

When I read that message, I hesitated to whether actually do it or not... But, I decided to do. So, I grabbed my coat, put on my boots and started heading out to the park.

~5 Minutes Later~

I arrived close to the swing sets and quickly noticed a person in full black clothing.

"I can't believe you actually came..."

"What do you want from me? Who are you?"

The person turned around to face me so I could recognize the face, but when I did, I was shocked.

Ivy: "Long time no see, huh brunette?"

Heather: "Yeah, it's been... How are doing?"

Ivy: "Don't act all sympathetic for me, I know you actually don't."

Heather: "Of course I would! Even if I hate you so dearly, I was worried after that incident at the café!"

Ivy: "Worried? For me?"

Heather: "Who wouldn't?"

Ivy: "You."

I just rolled my eyes and started getting a little irritated by her.

Ivy: "Heather, two days ago, I had a break up with Alex and I couldn't understand why."

Heather: "Really?"

Ivy: "Yeah, I've been crying after that, just couldn't get over it..."

Heather: "I'm sorry, Ivy... Really..."

Ivy: "You're a freakin' liar."

Heather: "What?"

Ivy: "You are a liar."

Heather: "What do you-"

Ivy: "Don't act stupid with me! At that day of the break up, I looked outside my window and saw you and Alex in front of my house! You were witnessing everything!"

Heather: "I didn't encourage-"

Ivy: "You forced him didn't you? Still can't get over a crush, huh?"

Heather: "I do not have feelings for him anymore! Geez, Ivy!"

Ivy: "I know you're the main source for him doing that, there isn't any other options!"

Heather: "You can't accept that your boyfriend has grown tired of you? You always point a finger on someone!"

Ivy: "Shut up! You are going to pay of this!"

Heather: "Make me, you stupid little turd!"

She walked closer to me and started circling me.

Ivy: "I have two options for you to make everything slide for me and you. Would you like to hear them?"

Heather: "No, but I'm sure you would anyway."

Ivy: "Cocky as always I see, but if you wish, I'll start off with something more interesting... Guards!"

Wait, GUARDS?! Suddenly, two big bodyguards came from behind and each of my arm and lifted me, so I couldn't escape their grip and as much as I tried, I couldn't.

Heather: "Since when you had bodyguards?!"

Ivy: "My whole life."

Heather: "Oh... It's your friends in disguises, huh?"

Ivy: "No, no... Why you got to be such an idiot?"

What is going on here...?

Ivy: "Heather, we not so different from each other now that you think about it."

Heather: "I am nothing like you! Nothing!"

Ivy: "Oh really? Do you know who I am?"

I narrowed my eyes at her with pure hatred and tried to get off the guards' grip, but failed once again.

Ivy: "Tell me. Who am I?"

Heather: "Ivy Preston, the most annoying little turd I've ever known."

Ivy: "Oh, Heather... Same little attitude as always..."

She came closer to me and slapped my face.

Ivy: "I'm exactly like you, Heather Ariel Williams. A celebrity that didn't want to be in the public eye, so she moved to another place to have a whole new life."

I looked at her with my face in an angry state with my mouth cleansed with rage.

Heather: "Stop lying! I never heard of you being a celebrity!"

Ivy: "Isn't that so? Then, I guess my plan was really successful, compare to yours."

I looked down to the ground in defeat... The two bodyguards that seemed like real professionals would have cost them a lot of money and even judging by what she was wearing, everything was designer clothing.

Heather: "Why now? Why sabotage me now instead of the past?"

Ivy: "Because now is the perfect time! Want one reason? Everyone is looking for you and your parents, everyone. They want to know your address, your favorite places in this town, everything!"

There was silent pause and she continued.

Ivy: "That's why I give two options. First, convince Alex to come back to me, so everything could go back to normal or lastly, just simply ignore my request."

Heather: "I would rather ignore your request, thank you." *smiles sarcastically*

Ivy: "You sure about that? I forgot to add something. If you do ignore my request, I'm going to hand out all paparazzis your house's address."

Heather: "Yeah right, you don't even know my home's address."

Ivy: "Yes I do, you idiot. I visited your house, remember? Your parents gave my parents the address?"

Oh crap... I totally forgot! The Preston's did! When I injured Ivy's nose!

Heather: "You scumbag! You're blackmailing me?!"

Ivy: "Is that so? Well, that's the only way it could be. So, what do you chose?"

Heather: "....."

Ivy: "I thought so... So, I give you three weeks to decide. Also, to make sure you won't do anything stupid to me, I hired some of my people to watch over you twenty four seven. Everyday and every night. Got that?"

Heather: "......"

She slapped me hard... Then, a second time. A third time. Forth time. Fifth...

Heather: "Okay! I get it!"

I started sobbing from the pain on my cheek and the problem she had now given me.

Ivy: "Thank you, Ms. Williams."

She clapped two times with her hands and the bodyguards just dropped me into the snowy ground and they started walking away from me. All I did was try to relieve the pain on my cheek and cry uncontrollable tears...

-30 minutes later-

I went straight to my room and collapsed into my bed to cry even more and sulked. I was thinking hardly on which one I will take... It's either I choose the selfish option and get Alex to go back with Ivy for my own safety or, I choose of him not going back with Ivy, but it ruins the life I always wanted... She gave me, a big dilemma.

...

I don't care anymore about our family diner or even waiting for Uncle Hugo asking Emilia saying his feelings for her, I just want to stay in my room for the rest of the day of January... Pretty pathetic, I know, but I'm not in the mood anymore...

I can finally conclude that when I said, "I'm a going to hit it off or is it an awful mistake?" in the beginning of my journal, it was an awful mistake...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Author's Note:

Sorry for a short chapter! I tried to make even more longer, but I think it's already perfect... Anyway, the big problem begins! How you guys's feel right now? Shocked? Feel sad? Let me know in the comments! So, if you like this chapter, please vote, comment how you feel about this chapter and give me feedback!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

So, we have reached 1.38k and I'm so happy about it, like I still can't believe it! Anyway, to celebrate this 1k reads celebration, I'm going to be doing something new to this book called,
"Dream Sequence"!
These special chapters doesn't add up to the actual story, it takes place in the same universe, but it's different scenarios with all of the characters.

Like, one chapter could be other people's POV instead of only Heather's, different couples stories then the actual canon couples on this story and even more!

So next chapter, it's going to be officially the first ever segment of "Dream Sequence"! I hope you guys' like this idea! Tell me in the comments if you do! Thanks!~
