"Hey Ang have you seen my I-Pod" I shouted from where I was packing my case.
"Yeah it's in the dock in here. I was listening to it last night" she shouted back from her room where she was working. She walked in, and handed it to me.
"If it wasn't for you setting me up to go on this stupid show, I wouldn't have to be packing" I sighed, putting my I-pod,laptop, charger and mobile into my holdall. I zipped the suitcase up and turned to face her.
She smiled apologetically "I know, and I'm sorry but babe, I'm sick of seeing you so sad all the time after Jake. Plus the money they offered for publisity was a hell of a lot! And who knows? This may even be good for you, you might even find your soulmate on there!" she mused mostly to herself.
I snorted and muttered under my breath "yeah right."
Still, when she mentioned Jake's name I felt the twang of pain and resentment toward's him, as I had for the past two years. It was a long painful story and one that I didn't care to replay anytime soon, even if was just all memories.
"You know I hate having to be away from Crystal" I said sadly and sulking a little.
As soon as I said her name she looked in my direction and stood up in her play pen. My baby.
I picked her up and held her to me feeling the tears well up in my eyes, I hate being away from my little girl, the most I've ever been away from her was when I had to fly to L.A, for a week with work, and even then I couldn't bare the absence from my little girl, what if something was to happen? So I came back after three days.
My name's Bella, I'm 25 year's old and have a five month old daughter.
I lived with my best friend Angela Weber. We've been best friends since pre-school. She was also my agent. You see I'm a famously known model and usually have to travel for photo shoots, I've traveled near enough all over the world since starting my career.
But since I had Crystal, I refused to travel and leave her behind and I didn't want to travel with her until she was a little older.
The only time I left her was when the photographer couldn't make it to England, so I had no choice, however I do this time, and I still have to leave her.
My besttie, Angela, thought it was a good Idea that I went on a dating show so she went ahead and signed me up. I must admit that the money was a lot but I wasn't ready to date yet, still I promised Angela I would make the most it and I would. I'd go and have fun, or as much fun as I could without my princess.
I gave Crystal a hug and kiss and placed her back in her playpen, picked up both my suitcase and holdall and carried them out into the front room and placed them near the front door ready for when my taxi pulled up to take me to the airport.
Crystal's hungry cry made me hurry up back into her room, she was stood up holding her arms out toward me.
"Ok princess lets go get you something to eat" I said carrying her into the kitchen placing her in her highchair. She'd just turned five month's old yesterday and had been on Aptamail's follow on milk since I found out that I was going on the show which was now a month ago. A very long month.
Once the kettle was ready I poured the water into her bottle and added the powder, put the lid back on and tested it on my wrist, making sure it was just the right temperature.
"Ma" Crystal cried reaching for her bear that Ang had placed next to me whilst I was making Crystal's bottle. I quickly grab both the bottle and her bear and walked over to her.
She loved that bear so much, dad had got it for her when she was just a few hours old.
When she was in the hospital and she didn't have it she would never settle and would always fuss and cry, it was a baby pink colour, had white paws and ears and had her name sewn onto the belly of it.
I handed her, her bear and put her bib on her, giving her, her bottle.
When Crystal was done, I placed a towel over my shoulder, burped her and walked into her room to get her changed then went to change myself as well.
Once we was both changed I walked back into the living room switched on some soothing music and put her in her baby gym, playing with her, just trying to absorb as much time with her as I could before I had to leave her. Six week's away from her was gonna be worse than hell that I already knew, ask any mother out there.
After about 10 minutes playing, the doorbell went, I scooped up Crystal, and went to answer the door.
"Look Crystal who is it? Is it gram-gram and pop-pop?" I cooed lovingly at her, kissing her cheek, she giggled, bringing a smile to my face, whilst reaching for my mum.
As soon as they'd both walked in and mum had taken her coat off, she came and got Crystal out of my arm's, "hello sweet girl, how is my little angel today?" she said walking into the house with her.
"Hey bell's how are you doing?" dad asked whilst giving me a hug and placing a kiss to my forehead.
"I'm good just… sad, you know, I really am gonna miss her" I said hugging him back and letting the comfort and secureness only his hug offered to comfort me, it's safe to say I was very much a daddy's girl.
"I know, but you know, she'll be ok with us. It was the same thing me and your mum went through when you were little" dad told me as we walked towards the living room.
That was the one thing that I was adamant on, that Crystal wasn't staying with anyone but my parent's.
It wasn't that I didn't trust Angela it was just that she had to do her job, as she was a PA for other's as well as me, and couldn't be there twenty-four hours a day. Mum was the only one who was available all the time because she was an author who worked from home, dad, however, was a forensic police officer.
Mum was sat on the couch tickling Crystal making her laugh and giggle, I grabbed my camera snapping pictures of them to take with me. At least that way I'd have a piece of her with me whilst I was away.
Dad saw the camera and took it from me, making mum hand Crystal to me, so that I could have some with her as well.
After an hour of enjoying time with mum and dad, there was a beep of a car horn outside, signalling that the taxi had arrived.
We all walked out to the front, dad grabbing my luggage and taking it to the taxi for me, putting it in the boot.
"Come here princess" I cooed, reaching for my baby, "now Crystal you have to promise to be good for gram-gram and pop-pop whilst I'm away" I said to her whilst bringing her into a hug.
I gave her a kiss and hugged her to me not wanting to let her go, mum had to get her from me whilst dad had to forcibly remove my arm's from around her. As soon as she was safely in mum's arms I ran to the taxi, knowing that if I looked back I wouldn't go, I wasn't strong enough.
I got in the cab and looked back seeing Crystal in my dad's arms smiling at her bear. A sob broke through from my lips as I touched my necklace, it was a letter C which I had received from my mum a week after I got out of the hospital. I never removed it since. As the tears slapped off my cheeks, I turned around and laid my head on the window, letting the tears flow freely.
