Saturday, Limo with Grandmere

I should really stop thinking that my life is as bad as it can get because after that conversation with Michael I did not think that it could get any worse.

It wasn't Michael calling... it was Lilly and she was not happy.

"Michael," I said hopefully into the phone as I answered it.

"Are you the biggest moron in the world" said Lilly. "Why would Michael call you after everything you have done to him? No wonder he broke up with you. I would have too if I had known you would have fallen for every bit of flattery that is said to you."

"What are you talking about Lilly," I said. "I am not in the mood to deal with this. I have had a really bad day. DIDN"T YOU SEE THE NEWS!"

"I SAW THE NEWS!!!" Yelled Lilly. "I saw you kissing the vilest human being in the world. I saw you betraying me on national television. I just can't work out why you did it. I thought that you had figured it out. I thought that you could finally see. If I didn't hate you for what you had done to me I would feel sorry for you."

"Lilly, I'm sorry but JP is your ex boyfriend, and Michael did break up with me. So you have no right to go mad at me because I am dating JP. He is nice to me and he cares about me unlike some people. Lilly I am not just going to stop doing something because you don't want me too. I am sick of people telling me what to do. I am sick of trying to make everyone happy but myself. Well that's it Lilly I don't care what you or your brother think about it I am going to date JP because I like him and he loves me. It is of no business of my ex best friend and my EX boyfriend." I yelled into the phone and then hung up before Lilly could say anything back. How is that for assertive!

But that's it, I am walking on egg shells because my best friend stopped talking me and my boyfriend broke up with me. Neither of these things are my fault. They are the ones with the issues. Michael's right, I shouldn't have to wait for him. He was the one that walked out on our relationship. He was the one that left me and moved half way around the world.

Lilly made a website dedicated to hating me for something that I did not do. I did kiss her EX boyfriend but that was totally an accident. And her brother was the one that broke up with me he left me to go to a whole other country and even he said that I shouldn't wait for him.

It's totally not my fault that JP liked me and not her. I am starting to think that it is a good thing that Lilly and I aren't friends anymore. All she ever did was push me around and as soon as I started to assert myself she started getting all stropy. She is just angry because I am not her little pawn anymore. I refuse to listen to anyone anymore. From now on I am my own person, I free person for once.

The first one to go is Grandmere. She showed up at my house like she said she would and got all angry because I was not ready to leave. Well excuse me if I had more important things to worry about then an appointment with a travel agent. I tried to tell ask why we had to go to a travel agent to start with. I thought that we weren't aloud to fly commercial. But she would have a bar of it.

Anyway the phone was still ringing off the hook so I was kind of glad of an excuse to leave the house. After the last two phone calls I had had I was not so keen to answer the phone. So I got dressed, and went out with Grandmere. She still won't tell me where exactly we are going. All I know is she is not forcing me to do anything anymore.

Wait why are all these people here???

Saturday, Limo on the way back to the loft

Ok so Grandmere is totally mad at me and maybe it wasn't the best idea to try out my new found assertiveness in front of all that press but it was her fault for not telling me that I was walking into a press conference.

I don't why I thought that Grandmere might actually care about me and Michael and might want to help us. Now I think she really just wants me to be unhappy because she is turning against JP. I thought she loved JP. So anyway we got to this 'travel agent' and the limo was surrounded by people. I thought there must be some kind of celebrity there. I know it seems silly but I still think it's weird that all of these people would be there to see me.

But it turns out that they were, and you can guess who had tipped them off that I would be there. Who else could it be but the single most evil person in the world? I new believe that she kept Hitler out of Genovia when she was only two years old because I bet she was scary back then as well. So I walked out of the Limo into a trap.

"WHAT'S GOING ON GRANDMERE?" I said through gritted teeth.

"Oh Amelia don't be silly, I am trying to take the focus away from your little tryst last night. Now will you just smile and get out of the car you can yell at me all you like when we are done. Besides I thought you wanted to go and see that boy." Grandmere said as she got out of the limo pulling me with her.

There was all this flashing and people screaming questions at me as Lars pulled us through the crowd to the front of the building. Then Grandmere turned and faced the crowd.

"Hello" she said as if she had just noticed that they were there. Then she pointed at one of the reporters.

"Is it true Princess" said the reporter everyone else listening intently. "That you are dating John Paul the famous Broadway producer's son."

I opened my mouth to speak but instead it was Grandmere's voice I heard.

"Amelia is a young woman, a princess you cannot expect her to tie herself down to one man. Her and John Paul are just good friends." Grandmere smiled pointing to another one of the reporters a woman in a bright pink coat this time.

"Excuse me" I said before I could stop myself. "But actually JP and I are a couple. It's only a recent development but I have nothing to be ashamed of in dating him."

Everyone looked shocked and the flashes were going off in every direction. They were all trying to get a photo of Grandmere's face. I don't like to humiliate her well ok maybe I do a little but she is my Grandmother but she needs to learn that I am my own woman and that she cannot control me anymore.

"Are the rumors of his book true" said the girl in the pink coat.

"Yes," I said with a smile on my face. I was glad that JP was getting something out of this mess maybe his book will become a best seller. "I am extremely proud of him and I hope to follow in his footsteps myself one day."

Because it had got me thinking, if JP can have a book published then why can't I. Surely everyone would want to read a book by a princess. I guess I should get off my butt and start writing. Oh the look on Grandmere's face just got better and better.

"If you have just started a new relationship then why are you going to Japan? Isn't that were your last boyfriend went?" Said another gentleman reaching though the crowd.

"I am not going to Japan, my grandmother simply got confused. Me and Michael are just friends." I felt my heart skip when I said this. But he was the one that broke up with me.

"Good friends," I added. "He has a lot of good work to do and he should be focusing on that at the moment." After that I smiled and walking into the building which wasn't travel agent after all. Lars had to practically carry Grandmere in.

"Grandmere, you can't do that to me anymore. You no longer control my life." I said in the nicest way possible.

"I was only trying to help Amelia," she said pulling herself up. "But if you wish to control your life yourself I shall stop trying to help and I will leave it to you. I expect you will be bringing John Paul to my ball on Friday." She is amazing I finally manage to upset her and she is over it and back to her usual self in no time.

"Well I hadn't actually thought about it." I said because I hadn't, I mean I had only just admitted that I was dating him. I didn't even know if he wanted to be my boyfriend or even my date for this stupid ball. I mean I am pretty sure he likes me, a lot but I just don't know. I kind of started to feel bad about announcing all this stuff about us without even talking to him about it. But I have decided I am going to go and see him tonight and we can talk about all that.

So anyway Grandmere talked about her stupid ball some more for a while and then we snuck out the back and now I am on my way back home. I am sure that my dad is going to be really mad at me but I don't care anymore.

I probably should not have said all that stuff to the reporters. I defiantly should not have talked about JP's book. Maybe he didn't want anyone to know about it yet. But I all I can think about is that this will show Michael for leaving me. He will have to come home if he wants to get me back.
