Chapter 23: Home Sweet London.
(Cecilia's POV)
:A week and a half later: Flashback Emmett had stabbed me about a week and a half ago. Rob had confronted him and my parents and sister moved to London. I was shocked that my mom and Haley loved Rob now. However they do care for me. I was happy to be back home in London but part of me was missing Gold Coast. Mom and Dad kept their house in Gold Coast as a vacation home so we could go back at anytime but I really don't know if I would want to go back. I don't want to see that Emmett was released or anything. If he was I would defiantly fear for my life. Rob's family and my family were getting along perfectly. A lot better than I had thought. Which was great. I mean we could live in peace…only I couldn't give Rob kids because of Emmett.
Present Day
Today is Valentine's Day and I don't know what I'm getting Rob. I have no clue what I could get him. I guess I could write him a song. I haven't sang anything in awhile. A song would be so much more amazing. Everything on me was hurting. I felt like I was going to die…pain rushing everywhere in my body. Well more like my stomach was hurting and it just spread to every other part of me. Rob had huge plans for tonight that he wasn't planning on telling me. He told me I'd actually have to wait. I was so curious I hate surprises and he knew that. UGH! Apparently everyone knew about it but me.
I laid in bed with my eyes still shut so he would think I was asleep. I didn't feel like getting up just yet. I decided that I would get up. I flipped myself over to see Rob not there. In his place was a dozen roses and a letter. I sat up and looked over at the clock. It was 11:30. Hmm. Where on earth could he be at 11:30am? I grabbed the note and opened it. It was on old fashioned paper in his beautiful handwriting.
To my one true love,
Happy Valentine's Day My love. I've gone to get things ready for tonight. Chloe left you something downstairs for you to wear. She said it's important that you wear it. I guess it is I really wouldn't care but I would make her happy ha-ha. The driver will be at the house at 5 to pick you up. I'm counting the hours till I see you again. See you soon. I love you.
With all my love. Rob xoxo
I laid back in bed and grabbed my cell phone off the end table. There were 3 messages from Chloe. –Are you up yet? –Happy Valentine's Day. –Are you wearing my dress tonight?
-Yes I am up. Happy Valentine's Day to you too. And of course I will wear your dress tonight.
-Okay good. I'll talk to you later. Everyone says hi!
I grabbed the remote off his end table and flipped the T.V. on. Rob said the car would be here at 5 so I should start getting ready around 3. I flipped over onto my side and fell back asleep. I had hoped I'd wake up at exactly 3 or a little bit before. Soon enough I was awake again. Only my cell phone rang. It was Charlie.
I flipped over and answered it. "Hello" I said wearily.
"Oh honey did I wake you?"
"Sort of Charlie. But it's quite alright…I needed to get up anyway. What's up?"
"Nothing. Rob just asked me to call you to make sure that you were up. Ha-Ha."
"Thank you Charlie. I am up. Oh, yes Happy Valentine's Day."
"Thank you sweetie you too. Well I'm taking Leah out to dinner so I would have to be going."
"Okay tell Leah I said hello. Have fun."
"Thanks Cecilia you too. Bye."
"Bye." I hung up the phone. I groaned and got up. I really hated Valentine's day…it was so not my thing. I ran down the stairs to grab the dress Chloe got for me. It was in the "family" room and along with two other boxes. There was a tag on them that said Cecilia. I brought them upstairs and into my closet.
I got ready and with two minutes to spear. Well what I thought was two minutes was not. It was 4:58 and the driver was knocking on the door. I walked quickly down the stairs trying not to trip from the heals. I opened the door to find Chelsea standing there with the driver.
