Chapter 6

Fox grabbed his bag and when he turned around, he ran into the woman who was sitting next to him on the plane. "Now what?" He said, obviously annoyed.

The woman looked up at Fox and smiled. "I came to get my bags."

"Oh..."

"And you're in my way." The woman stated. Fox stepped away to let her through. "Thank you." The woman got her bags and left. Fox expected her to talk to him like she did on the plane. He was relieve she didn't continue with them conversation before. It wasn't long before Fox was drifting away into his thoughts.

It was a gala that his mother decided to throw for the entire town. The main reason she threw this party was so Ivy could throw Sam in Grace's face. She was quite proud of herself for catching Sam. She wanted all her children to be at the gala to show off how her family is supporting the relationship. Fox wasn't to keen on the idea of going to the gala. On the night of the party, he decided he wanted to catch up with work at Crane Industries. He was surrounded with work at his office. He was focus on what's in front of him until the phone rang. Without looking away from the paperwork, Fox picked up the phone. "Hello. Fox Crane speaking."

"Honey…where are you?"

Fox shakes his head and says, "Hello mother."

"Why aren't you at the gala?" Ivy asked him.

"Well...I didn't think I had to be there. You have Ethan He's there."

"Yes he is but I want the entire family with me…supporting me."

Fox simply said, "Right. And to stick it to Grace. I'm happy that you're happy but I don't have time to go. I have lots of work to do and I-"

Ivy interrupted, "You're throwing yourself in work. Is this about Whitney? Because you can still get her back. She's at the gala. Currently unattached. You have your chance right now. If you come down and-"

"No mother!" Fox exclaimed. This is not about Whitney. This is about you. Everything has to be about you and to tell you the truth, I'm tired of it."

"You do not talk to me that way. I am your mother and should watch what you say."

Fox argued, "You may have given birth to me but you never been a mother to me when I was little."

"What are you talking about?" Ivy sighed after.

"You sent me away to boarding school. I didn't spend any holidays with my family. You wonder how I turned this way. You should look at yourself."

Ivy sarcastically, "You worked on that speech for a while. I want you here and if you're not here in 15 minutes, I will call you every minute. If that doesn't work, I will tell Ethan to fire you and-"

"Ethan can't fire me. He didn't hire me."

"It doesn't matter. Be here in 15 minutes." Ivy hung up quickly before Fox could say anything else. Fox looked down at his work and says to himself, "I guess I have no choice." Fox puts the paperwork in the folders. "I'll do this first thing in the morning."

He felt somebody tapping his shoulder. He was faced with a security guard. "Get a moving, sir".

Fox said, "Sorry." The guard just nodded and left. Fox started walking out of the terminal. He mutters to himself, "I have to stop thinking." He keeps going until he reaches out of the terminal. He breathes in the Harmony air. "Harmony..."

Okay so...this took me a while to write. That woman I put in was bugging me. At first I wanted to be a main factor in Fox's life in going to Harmony but I thought that was to much work and that my mind wasn't registering her in my story. She had nothing I wanted her to do with Fox. Sorry for the long wait. It just took me awhile. I didn't know what to write on this chapter. The little flashback from Fox is gonna lead into the next chapter. I can't wait! And I'm sorry this chapter is a little short. Please comment on my chapter so far. I appreciate your comments on my story. THANK YOU!
