May 4th Dr. Knutz Office
My appointment went really well. Dr. Knutz was very proud that I came to see him before things got to bad. He reminded me of the techniques that he should me years ago to help me relax and helped me work through what some of my issues were. The rest he said were issues that I had to learn how to work through them myself otherwise I never would. I was now waiting for the car to come back so I could head back to the apartment.
"Princess, the car is here."
May 4th Limo-heading home from Dr. Knutz
I am trying really hard right now not to go and find John Abernathy and punch him in the face or at least the throat.
He was just on some radio show saying how in love we were and that he was just waiting for me to leave Micheal behind and abdicate my roll in Genovia. Neither event was going to happen. Lars was already on the phone with my dad letting him know what was going on.
"Are you okay princess?" Lars asked.
"Yes. I am just trying to figure out why this John guy is doing this." I replied. "Before that interview I don't think I said more than two word to him if I said anything at all."
"Well your dad called in a favor and guy from the FBI is coming over later to speak with you and maye finding away to get this John Abernathy away from you."
"What is the name?" I asked.
"I believe your father said it was SSA Reed Spencer."
"Like from Criminal Minds show."
"Similar but this guy is not with the BAU but he has in the past." Lars said. "Mr. Spencer is also a fifty-five year old man, with six kids not a thirty something single man with no kids."
"And what time should I expect Mr. Spencer?" I asked.
"Five thirty if he is not called away on a case."
"Thanks Lars."
Lars and I went separate directions when we got to the consulate. I made my way to my apartment where I stuck myself to the couch to binge on some NCIS until SSA Reed Spencer arrived, which was only about and hour and half away. I was in the middle of the episode where Ziva left when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"It is Lars and SSA Spencer." Lars said.
"Come in." I replied pausing the episode as I stood up.
They entered and walked over to me. I shook SSA Spencer's hand.
"Thank you for coming." I said. "I am sure you are very busy."
"Not at the moment but I probably just jinks myself." He replied. "You have a stalker?"
"I believe so but this one is different than the average paparazzi. I went to high-school with him and he's made it seem like I was going to leave my fiancé twice now to the press. He was quiet at the ten year reunion a couple of days ago."
"Well to me it sounds like he could be one of two types of stalker. There are four but the way you describe him and what your father has told me he strikes me as either a rejected stalker or a an intimacy stalker."
"What is the difference? They sound the same to me."
"The rejected stalker will pursue a victim so they can reverse, correct or avenge their rejection."
"And the rejection would be what?"
"It could be anything from turning them down for a dance or a divorce or separation if the stalker and staking victim were in a relationship."
"Okay and what makes that different from the intimacy stalker?"
"An intimacy stalker, wants just that from their victim. They want a intimate and loving relationship with their victim. To them the victim could be their soul-mate or they just simply believe they are meant to be together."
"Which one do you think this John Abernathy is?"
"I believe he falls into the intimacy stalker category because he is stating that you are leaving your fiancé to enter into a relationship with him."
"What do you suggest I do?" I asked.
"I suggest that you request an order of protection."
"That can't really stop him though."
"No it can't but it will help as if they cross the line after you have it."
"Okay. Thank you for your help." I replied.
"Your welcome, I also brought this to help you with the process of getting a restraining order. I apologize that I couldn't be of more help to you." He said handing me a piece of paper.
How to get a Restraining Order
1.The first thing you need to do is obtain the proper forms. To do this you will need to visit the court house in your county. You may also have to go to courthouse in another county if they stalking or abuse took place in another county than your own.
2.The second thing you want to do is Get a lawyer. This could also be done before the first step if you need the guidance.
3.Fill out the forms you got while doing step one. You will also have an affidavit that states the reasons and events that caused you to file the order. This will include any and all behavior done toward you and what the abuser or stalker looks like and his work and home address
4.After filing you will receive information on a court hearing. This usually takes a couple of days and will take place about two or more weeks after you file.
5.The stalker or abuser will be served before the court hearing. You can not serve him your self. You may hire a process server or contact the county sheriff serve the stalker or abuser.
6.You will attend the court hearing. Bring all the evidence you have against the abuser/stalker.
7.And last but not least you will receive the judge's decision.
"Thank you." I said again.
"It was no problem." He said. "That's all I have."
"That's all I needed. I will be sure to let you know what happens."
Lars showed him to the door. I put a reminder on my phone to get to the court house on Monday. I wanted to get those papers done as soon as possible.
May 7th County Court House
I think I picked the wrong day to get the restraining order papers. This place was busy and twice now I have been sent to the wrong place. I saw a man in black robes walking down the quiet hallway I found myself in.
"Excuse me, sir, could you please tell me where I could get the papers to file a restraining order?" I asked.
"Oh you are not that far from it. The office is three doors from where you are now. You past the restroom you have gone too far."
"Thank you sir."
I rushed to the door he told me about. There were only a few people in the room.
"Excuse me, I'm looking to get papers to file a restraint order."
One of the women in the office walked over to a file cabinet and pulled a file out and walked over to me.
"Every thing you need is in here." The woman said. "There are even a few numbers you can call for help."
"That's okay. I won't need them, I just have a stalker."
"Still every thing you need is in there."
"Thanks for the help."
May 10th
My trip to England is beginning. I am in first class on a six am flight to England with one stop somewhere in between. Lars was sitting next to me as everyone else was leaving later.
"You should take your pill so you can sleep while we fly." Lars said. "You don't want jet lag when we arrive in England."
"I already did but thanks for the reminder." I said.
I had a sleep mask ready to pull over my eyes when we were given the all clear to move. It didn't take me long to fall asleep and before I knew it Lars was waking me up for the in flight meal they were giving us. It was some kind of chicken that was a little on the dry side.
Once I was done eating I started going over my speeches until I was told to get ready to land.
"Come on princess we have to get to our gate." Lars said.
"That time already?"
"Yes, ma'am." He replied.
9:30am May 11th
I am on my way to the Cheltenham Ladies College. Lily and Lana are sitting beside me. They arrived in London about an hour after I did. Lily was playing games on her phone to pass the time and Lana was texting Jason.
"So how is he doing?" I asked.
"He is doing good." Lana replied. "He says he misses me."
"That's good." I replied. "I guess you miss him too."
"More than I thought I would." Lana replied. "He's the perfect guy for me and Grandmere seems to like him."
"More than she likes Micheal." I said. "Why didn't you ask him to be your date?"
"Because we have been together less than six months and we are not engaged so I wasn't extended that privilege."
"Well. You could have invite him to London with you even if he didn't attended the wedding."
"I tried but because he took time off for his friends wedding he couldn't take time off for me."
"Well with the way he is blowing up your phone I'd have to say he wishes he could have."
Our car pulled to a stop in front of the school. It was old looking and I was quite in love with it.
"Hello Your Highnesses." She said. "I'm Eve Jardine-Young, I am the Principal here at Cheltenham Ladies College."
"Thank you Ms. Young." I replied.
"Shall we head to the auditorium?" Ms. Young asked.
"Oh yes. Please show us the way." I said.
With me leading the way and our bodyguard walking behind us we followed Ms. Young into the school and to the auditorium. She led us back stage where we waited until she introduced us. The three of us spent the next hour speaking to the girls.
Once we were done we split up and had lunch with a different group of girls. Pictures were taken through out the whole event. I would be surprised if they ended up on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or whatever social media app drew their attention.
After lunch we joined up again for a tour of the whole school. It took so long that we didn't get back to our hotel until after seven at night. Lana disappeared into her room to video chat with Jason until he had to go back to work. Lily was recording another Vlog and I was watching more NCIS until I fell asleep.
May 12th
I had tea with the Queen of England today. It was quite nice. The food was a little weird tasting to me but still good over all. I got to officially meet Princess Charlotte and she is such a cute little girl. I met her once when she was a baby but not much since she's been a toddler.
I got a tour of Buckingham Palace. It was quite the sight to see. All of that artwork and just the general history involved in those hallowed halls. There's more history there than
Lars had to tackle someone as we arrived back at the hotel since they tired throwing a balloon full of red slime at me. It didn't burst open until after it hit the ground. I quickly made my way to my room and changed into a more casual outfit and Lily and I left for a helicopter tour of London. Lana's fear of heights kept her from coming with us. The sight of the setting sun against the London City Scape was a beautiful one.
May 14th
By happen stance yesterday I ran into Megan Markle before we were scheduled for afternoon tea. We went to lunch at a nearby restaurant instead. Since it was just the two of us that would be having tea that day anyway. Today I was on my own. I was being interviewed by a local British magazine about the 'royal wedding' fever going on. Three weddings in one year but only two are from the same family.
"So Amelia what are you looking forward to the most about your wedding?"
"There are too many to choose from." I told her.
"What advice do you have for other brides?"
"Stick to your guns about what you want the most but also be willing to let a few things go."
"Very good advice." The reporter said. "Thanks for taking time to speak with me."
"It was fun I like nature more than the sterile environment of a television studio."
"Thank you again Amelia."I will be sure to send you a copy before I send it to my editor."
Now that I was free I was going to the London Eye. Lana and Lily were meeting me there. I had no idea why Lana was since she didn't like heights and refused to go on the helicopter ride the other day. The lines were long but I made sure to pre-book our tickets even before we flew to London.
May 16th
"Mia you better wake up, it is time to get ready. We have to be at BBC in an hour. You slept long enough." Lily yelled through the hotel room door.
"Quit yelling." Another guest yelled.
I assume they poked their head out of their room. What Lily didn't know was that I had been up talking to Micheal. I was already dressed up in my outfit for the day with my hair done. I was leaving my face makeup free.
"I beat you to it," I said pulling my door open. "I have been up for two hours now."
I quickly grabbed my bag and headed to the car. We were all quiet on the ride over. I saw Lana yawn out of the corner of my eye; I guess she had stayed up late talking to Jason again. When we arrived at the studio we were led to hair and make up. I told the I didn't want anything done to my hair and the make up can only be natural. Finally we were done with that and led out to the famous red couch from their BBC breakfast show.
"Good morning everyone we have the three of the four Genovian American Princesses here with us today. Our Twitter is still taking questions for five minutes longer if you have a question submit it now." Naga Munchetty said. "How are you ladies doing today?"
"Great." We all said.
"You are all here for Prince Harry's wedding. Are you excited for the wedding?"
"Yes a bit. A wedding for anyone is always kind of exciting." Lily replied. "but I think it goes without saying that I'm more excited by my sisters wedding."
"I don't think anyone could fault you for that." Naga said.
"They shouldn't." Lana said.
"We all know Amelia is about to walk down the aisle. Out of the two of you Lana and Lily which one of you is most likely to walk down the aisle?"
"Lana because she is the only one dating at the moment." Lily said. "I don't see it happening anytime soon for me."
"So you'll never marry."
"I will at some point but I am very picky about who I'm interested in."
"Well that's good. A girl shouldn't settle for anyone. Queen Elizabeth the first ruled England for Forty plus years without a husband and Queen Elizabeth the second didn't settle for Prince Phillip she fought for him." Naga said.
"Thank you and I don't plan to settle." Lily replied.
"What is your dream guy?"
"Honestly Naga I have no idea. I have dated a guy in the military and I have dated a guy that was a tattoo artist and even a doctor at one point. So I have no idea what type of guy I would end up with."
"I guess we will all be waiting to see who captures your heart. Amelia how did you know that Micheal was the one for you?"
"Oh, I think that I started to fall for him freshman year after he played a song he wrote for me." I replied. "And he has always kind of been there for me so who else would I choose?"
"How about John Abernathy, " Naga replied.
"No. Not a chance. I don't even remember him from school. The only reason I even know I went to school with him is my year book otherwise I would have no clue who he was."
"Sorry I just know he as be come a popular topic as of late."
"He has but I'd like to talk about something else." I replied.
"How about we turn the attention to your sister Lana." Naga said. "How is it going with you and Jason Rockefeller?"
"Great so far. We have only been together official a little less than six months." Lana said. "It will be six months this month if I remember correctly. He's quite sweet and really seems to help me out of my funk when I have a bad day at work."
"He does sound like a sweet man. Now I have a game that the three of you can play. You will all hold the paddles that are laying in front of you. Whatever your answer is raise that paddle."
"We got it." Lana said.
"First question who out of the three of you is most likely to be like bill gates and give all their money away to charity?"
We all three held up the paddle with my name on it.
"Who is the biggest drama queen?"
Again we all answered Lana.
"Who would most likely marry a celebrity?"
Lana and I said Lily. Lily said Lana.
"Who is most likely to be the first one to die in a zombie apocalypse?"
"Me because I'm so clumsy." I said holding up the paddle.
"Who can hold their breath the longest?"
"Lana she's the swimmer."
"Who is more likely to listen to Classical music?"
"Lily." Lana and I said at the same time.
"There is time for only three more questions."
"Bring them on." Lily said.
"Live in a big city?"
"Me." Lana
"Lana." Lily and I said.
"Lily." I said right away. "I am horrible at anything more than long division."
"And because of all of the weddings this year, Who is most likely to marry first?"
We all rolled our eyes and held up the paddle with my name without saying anything.
Twenty minutes later we were leaving BBC and heading in separate directions.
"Wait, Mia, where are you going?" Lana called
"The airport to pick up Micheal," I replied.
"I thought that was tomorrow?" Lily asked.
"No, it's today," I replied. "Tomorrow we have the day off."
"See you tonight then. No holding up in your hotel room," Lana said.
A few hours later found Micheal and I in my hotel room. I was watching Netflix and Micheal was napping to avoid jet lag. Lily called not long after we got back to the hotel to schedule a time for dinner.
May 18th
Yesterday was so nice. Micheal and I went to a few museums and spent the rest of the afternoon napping on and off. At one point he ordered some food from room service and told Lana and Lily when they came by that we wanted to be alone.
Today was different. Today Micheal and I had an interview with a reporter at SkyOne. It was a bunch of questions about the wedding and the engagement and what we thought of Megan and Prince Harry and what advice we have for them.
After the interview, Micheal and I went to the London Zoo. I loved seeing all of the animals. I still wished they could live out in the wild. All in all, we spent about two hours at the zoo before leaving for Eton.
We skipped going to the hotel because we would have been cutting it close on time and Eton asked if we could come earlier in the day last night. We were given a short tour before Micheal gave his speech. It was quite nice to hear him talk about something so passionately.
May 19th
"Mia wake up. We have to get ready for the wedding." Micheal said shaking me awake.
Groggily I threw the covers off of me and went to shower. Micheal stayed in the bedroom and put on his suit.
"Don't you need to shower?" I asked.
"I did before I woke you up," he replied. "Do you need to go to the salon?"
"Nope. I used that shampoo that Trisha created and all I have to is brush it… And pin it back, so the facilitator doesn't sit weird on my head."
"Where is that by the way?"
"Kind of small."
"I thought it would be best to keep it small and keep the attention on the bride instead of me." I replied. "Besides it is the only pre-made one that matched my dress in a way that I liked."
There was a knock on the door.
"Are Lily and Lana coming over?" Micheal asked.
"They didn't say anything about it."
He went over and answered the knock.
"It's your dad." Micheal called.
"Dad," I said rushing over to the door. "I thought you weren't coming."
"I wasn't sure if I would make it or not. Ivan is raising a ruckus in parliament. I got it late last night. I wanted to see you before you left for the wedding since I have to ride with your sister."
"Thanks." I said. "Actually we better get going now."
May 19th 8pm
The wedding was beautiful. I hoped that mine would turn out as beautiful as His Royal Highness Prince Harry the Duke of Sussex and the newest royal Her Royal Highness Megan Duchess of Sussex (formerly Ms. Megan Markle). We didn't get back until after five. The food not what I am particularly into but I loved it. I just couldn't wait until tomorrow and Micheal and I made our trip to Scotland. I'm glad he insisted we have some time to our selves at the end of the trip. I had a court hearing for my protection order on Monday the twenty eighth, two days after we got back to America and I had four days before that even happened.
I better stop writing Micheal is treating to take this journal away and drown it in water because I have been writing in it so much lately. Its my stress reliever and I certainly didn't think I would still be doing it when my mother gave me my first journal fifteen years ago.
I guess I will have to write more la…
