Chapter 2

An hour later and Bree and Brit were making Mary's life hell at home.
"We know about crush on Joey Parker and if you ruin this for mum to night you'll never see the light of day again," said Britt

"I don't have a crush on Joey," said Mary "I'm dating him" she thought

"Listen we know you know him from your little dance trips with your dead mother but leave him alone. He's deserves Natalia and this song with our mum. So you just back away you go it," said Britt

Mary nodded her mind filling with thoughts about her mother.

"You going to cry?" asked Bree

"I have crab puffs to make. Don't you have to get ready for Joey?" asked Mary

Bree and Britt headed out of the room and Mary let the tears fall quickly as she made the crab puffs. If anyone were to see her now she would blame the onions. But truth today was her mother's birthday and she needed to be with Joey. Only problem she couldn't be.

So when Joey and his family arrived an hour later. Mary hid in the kitchen for as long as she could before Dominique called drinks we need drinks Mary.

At this Joey was even more confused. Why would Mary be bringing in the drinks?

And then he saw her Mary carrying a tray of drinks and wearing a waitress outfit.

Dominique had made her into the maid. It took all he had in him not to stand up and say what the hell. So he silently fumed to himself.

And as he watched her as she passed drinks out he could see faint tears tracks down her face.

Joey was mad, Mary knew Joey was mad because he had his hands clenched on the table.

He hated the way Dominique was ordering her about. Mary wasn't listening to the conversation as she tried to stop the shrimp from being knocked everywhere but when she heard Joey say you're all nuts. She almost started laughing but then Joey stood up his shoulder hit the tray the tray dropped. Joey turned into Mary who grabbed his arms and they fell to the floor.

"We keep meeting like this," muttered Mary as she wiped rice from her mouth

"I'm sorry," muttered Joey as he pulled shrimp from her hair.

"Hey," she whispered

"Hey yourselves we have some serious talking to do," he whispered

Mary groaned and Dustin pulled Joey up. Who in turn pulled Mary up.

"Joey," said his mother "You need to wait aren't you Rosa Santiago's girl?" she asked Mary

Mary felt her throat tighten and she nodded.

"How is she?" asked his mother

Mary sucked in a breath. "Excuse me," she muttered and she ran from the room.

"Mum you know Rosa died last summer," said Joey

"When she was on tour with you?" asked his mother

"Yes now excuse me," said Joey as he turned and sprinted from the room.

"Mary," he called and the others in the dinning room heard it.

Dominique and the twins looked befuddled why would Joey want to go after Mary.

"Mary and Joey are childhood friends. Mary was dancing on tour with Joey when her mother died. And today is her mother's birthday," said Dustin "And for here on out I'm Joey's only manager," he added before he left the room.

After that Joey's mother and father left while Joey was sat in Mary's room with a sobbing Mary cuddled into his chest.
