946 Words
Emily had a rough upbringing in the suburbs of New Hampton she got brought up in the largest children’s foster home, she enjoyed all the laughter and fun with all the other children but it wasn’t easy. At the age of 16 after no one had adopted her it was time for her to move on and start her life at the local university. Throughout the years she had to ensure she did well at school she knew she wanted to be a business lady she wanted to have a high end job she wanted to be able to afford the things she never had. Emily didn’t know much about her parents all she was ever told was there was an accident and both her parent had died when she was only one years old. She had no memories and no photos of what was her family. All she knew was that once she turned 21 she would be able to find out more and a trust fund had been set up in which she was able to then claim. Emily was a shy girl, she knew she was pretty but didn’t have the confidence behind her, she had only ever felt feelings for one man but once she had realised he was a billionaire she ran, she knew he wouldn’t want to know the poor girl. “Emily WAKE UP!! “ Emily room mate Layla was shouting at her and shaking her, Emily’s head rose from her desk sleepily saying “what’s up Layla” “IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY- you’re finally 21!” Layla screeched in a high pitch voice, “wait did you sleep all night on your desk?” “Yes Layla it’s the finals today I need to do well in this last exam I must of nodded off whilst revising” Emily said. “Jeez girl, you will do fine go get showered I’ll make you breakfast and after you’ve done your finals we’re going to party! “ Layla happily exclaimed. “Okay and thank you your the best” Emily said happily whilst kissing Layla on the cheek on her way to the shower. With the hot water flowing Emily jumped in the shower a smile came across her face when she realised now she is 21 she can find out more about her past, the trust fund Emily didn’t think about much as she presumed they’re wouldn’t be a lot in it what was important to her was just to know where she came from and the only two people she may have known to have loved her. After Emily showered she ensured she would quickly make an appointment to find out everything now she was of age, in two days time all would become clear. “Be back here for 4pm Em! The girls are coming round we are going to glam your fine ass up and get you ready to party! “ Laylasaid whilst beaming from ear to ear. “Okay okay but remember I no small dresses and not a lot of make up” Emily hissed back in retaliation. Layla just laughed and walked off. Emily grabbed a bag and ran to the university hall where her final was taking place happily looking at her watch knowing she was in good time. The bell rang and the test was over Emily got up and stretched with a smile beaming over her face she knew she had done well and was happy it was all finally over all that hard work been paid off, she’d done it. As Emily walked out of the door a man dressed in a suit was stood there holding a big bouquet of flowers , as she was walking past he said “Miss Emily Green?” “Erm yes that’s me, can I help you” Emily sheepishly replied. “These are for you” the suited man said whilst passing her the bouquet, no sooner had he passed them over to Emily he was gone. Emily smiled and looked at the card all it said was “I will see you soon G x” Emily confused couldn’t figure it out who were they from and why has she received them her life was so quiet and kept so private she couldn’t even understand who they were from. Emily returned to her Dorm big bunch of flowers in hand she was about to unlock her room when she thought to herself how quiet it was I’m sure Layla said the girls were coming here at 4pm it’s mow 4:15pm but it’s so quiet. Emily opened the door and jumped at the high screens from the girls shouting “happy birthday” and the sound of party poppers going off. “JEEZ GUYS YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUTTA ME” Emily screaming back, whilst they all run to hug Emily. Layla hands everyone a shot “ to the birthday girl time to get you ready and get you out to party!” “Eurgh what was that?” Emily said while trying to hold down the shot “Just a Sambuca honey you’ll get used to it” Liz laughed. “Pretty sure Liz it was Sambuca last time that caused our lovely Emily to fall on that gorgeous mans lap and spend the night with him” Jill happily saying. Flashback hit Emily’s mind of the amazing night with the amazing man but quickly saddened her face when she realised she would never be good enough for him. “Enough girls, you dolling me up or what?” Emily said trying to get of the subject as fast as it can up. “Hell yeah baby and we have got the perfect ensemble planned” Layla stated with that grin again beaming from ear to ear. Emily knew she was not going to like it.
