A long sigh escaped Grace as she sat in front of the huge mirror trying to get her hair to cooperate. After a while of struggling she put down her brush and just looked at herself. Was this a mistake? Was anyone going to be happy that she was here? Was he going to be happy that she was here? A frown crept on to the young woman’s face and she stood up shaking her head slightly. 

[color=B5E87D]“Stop it Grace”[/color] she muttered to herself as she paced around the room. [color=B5E87D]“Who cares? You are here for you...ok”[/color] she kept going, trying to pump herself up. Grace turned to once again look at her reflection. But this time her expression was that of determination. She’s a bad bitch no one can tell her different! Quickly she gathered her stuff and stuffed it in the small black purse she had matched to her outfit. 

Grace did one last mirror check before she walked out the door of her suite. Just as the door clicked behind her the feelings of insecurity bubbled up inside of her again. What if someone saw her as she stood here looking like a weirdo who has forgotten how to walk. A few deep breaths brought he confidence back and Grace straightened up and stomped down the hallway in her high heels. But as she got closer to the crossway of the hallways she slowed down before turning towards the elevators. What if she runs into him? It’s too early! He needs to see her looking bomb and not a queasy mess. 

Still there she stood slowly peeking around the corner to make sure the person she wanted to see more than anything in the world wasn’t standing there. Her breath was slow as her head slowly turned to face the elevators suddenly a loud melody sounded from her purse and made her yelp in fright. Clutching her chest she dug through her purse for her phone.

[color=B5E87D]“Hello?”[/color] she answered breathlessly.

[color=C9DD6B]“Bailey Grace!”[/color] Her mother’s voice rang out from the receiver. [color=C9DD6B]“You thought you could avoid your mother huh?! Bribing your brother to come pick you up? You really though he wouldn’t spill?”[/color]

[color=B5E87D]“Mom! No… yes.”[/color] Grace rolled her eyes as she slowly gave into her mother's accusations. [color=B5E87D]“I just wanted to get here as quickly as I could and Jeri offered...kind of.”[/color] she offered.

[color=C9DD6B]“Mmmhmm…”[/color] her mother wasn’t buying it, she never did. [color=C9DD6B]“Well ok, but if you think that you get to leave Florida without coming home first you are absolutely wrong baby. So help me Jesus I will come up to Atlanta and embarrass you in front of your whole office!”[/color]

[color=B5E87D]“Fine! I’ll see you sunday for dinner.”[/color] Grace conceded with a sigh.

There was a pause from the other side of the phone [color=C9DD6B]“So have you talked to A-”[/color]

Grace hastily cut her mother of[color=B5E87D] “Oh mom I’m super late to this party I need to go! Bye I love you!”[/color] she sputtered and hung up tossing her phone back into her purse.

Stepping out from the hotel building the party scene sprawled in front of her. Grace eyes widened and a small gasp escaped her. It was all very beautiful and very expensive looking. Then again it was King’s Academy the budget for their senior prom was 250,000 dollars. 

Her first instinct was to head over to the bar because she was sure that where she would find Willow. But as she came closer she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the group that had surrounded said bar. She was right that Willow was seated there with a look of concern plastered on her facing Grayson Chambers. Who in turn was surrounded by all of the girls that had beef with him. The only one missing was… well her. Grace locked eyes with her best friend giving her a panicked look shaking her head letting Willow know [color=B5E87D][i]”There is no way I’m getting into that mess”[/i][/color]. 

Instead she took a seat at one of the nearby tables so that Willow could have an exit plan if she needed one. Soon enough a waiter was at her side with a glass of ice water and a [color=D0D1DA]“What can I get you miss?”[/color] 

[color=B5E87D]“A gin and tonic thanks… oh and make it a double!”[/color] she smiled as the waiter took the order down and walked away, returning with her drink momentarily. Sipping her drink Grace looked around seeing faces she had forgotten over the last ten years. Raising her glass momentarily as she caught the eye of Alex Shields or as she usually knew him [color=b1a29b]Astroman123[/color] before going back to looking around the cocktail party going on in front of her.
