June Apricot
*************
        By the time we were done with the dinner, everyone had forgotten about the embarrassing incident,even Jlo had come back but Royalty was not back, the Queen took her food to her room personally... It was clear and glaring that the King and Queen would give their lives for Royalty in a heartbeat...... It was so difficult to believe she was adopted.

    "That girl is such a bitch...funny how I used to think she was cool" Kate whispered in my ear,pointing at Jlo, as we sat in the sitting room with everyone except the adult-adults...like the old people.
 
    "I know right...Gee knows where Ro dragged her from" I replied whispering.

  "The asylum... Where else, this one is mad" She said and we started giggling like kindergartners.

    "Your sister is so cool... She saved me" I said and Kate's eyes filled with pride.

   "That devil.... She hates bullying... She was bullied when everyone heard she was adopted, God knows how paparazzi got to know... She just got over it some months ago...more reasons why she is so cold" she said and my heart went out to the poor thing.

   "Where is her room?" I asked and Kate's eyes widened before she burst out laughing... Causing everyone in the room to look at us...even the boys who were busy ranting about soccer.

     "You...you wanna go say hi or what?" She asked when she stopped laughing and I nodded.

     "That and also to say thanks for standing up for me" I said shrugging and Kate's cheeks puffed up from keeping her laughter in check.

   "Are you mocking me or what?" I asked feigning hurt and she smiled.

   "Ah, no......let's bet...fifty bucks you come out feeling like kicking the wall" she said and my smile went down....Fifty bucks...how I hate that amount.

   Fifty bucks... My mind travelled back to six years ago and the image of the fifty bucks I saw on my bedside table filled my head...How I hate that bastard!, how could he have belittled me like that... What did he take me for?, a whore he could sleep with for fifty bucks?... Not like I wanted more amount, but he could have done better undeniably.. God, fuck you June!.....But still how could he...

   "June!" Kate screamed and stepped on my legs with her stupidly high heels, the scream that went out of me made my face turn red, I swear it hurt...and my scream was louder than the hurt itself... I never knew I could scream like that...People blocked their ears...Yeah, it was that loud...Damn You Katherine.

    "Wow, you sound like a fucking fire truck" one of the grooms men said and I tightened my lips and apologized... Ivan had a smirk on his face and I gave him a death glare.

    "It's all Rosie's fault... Bringing a low life into a place like this will surely have its drawbacks" Jlo said rolling her eyes...

     "Just shut up already Jlo....I bet you can't say that if Royalty was here" Kate said and Jlo rolled her eyes.

    "You can't even defend yourself....You're relying on an emotionally scarred six year old to do that for you....How pathetic" she said and took a sip of her wine.....Fury shot through me as she spoke rashly of Royalty but before I could do anything, I saw Kate stand up and collected the drink from Caitlin and poured it all over Jlo.

   "No one says shii about my sister.... Especially a nobody like you" She said and returned the empty cup to Caitlin who took it with her mouth agape.

   "Pathetic!, ugh!" Jlo said and stormed out...with Caitlin trailing behind her..Basic Bitches!

   "Now, back to you.... Her room is the third room to the left.... You'll always recognize the room though" She said and I nodded and stood up.

    "Remember, you owe me fifty bucks already" She said loudly and her gave her a death glare... My gaze travelled to Cameron's and he had a weird look in his face as he looked at me... What is wrong with this dude?...and what is wrong with me?, why am I always looking at him when something embarrassing happens to me?....if anything, I should be looking at Ivan. 

    I climbed the beautiful well curved stairs and reached the top after a helluva climbing... There must be an elevator somewhere... Damn!.

    I saw rooms to the left and right. God knows how many rooms this house has....I walked to the third room on the left and suddenly my palms felt sweaty as I tried to knock...but I wiped it on my cloth, took a deep breath and knocked... No reply, I knocked again but no reply.

   I was walking back down when I heard clattering from a room in the right direction.. I followed the direction of the sound and I saw a door slightly opened... My jaw dropped and my heart hammered as I saw the beautiful black haired Angel ...or devil they say in an apron with a paint brush in hand and earphones on.

   I pushed the door open as silently as possible although she probably won't hear...I squeezed myself into the tiny space and soon I was standing in a world different from our world....beautiful childish paintings surrounded the room... It was difficult to believe a six year old could come up with such except she was born with the gift.....the same way I was.

    I used to be the best art student in high school and I painted my dad most... He was my muse....I stopped the day he died.... I was going to give him the painting I made of him sleeping when they came in....I vigorously shook my head to clear the memory..I didn't want to remember but seeing this little girl with paint in her hair reminded me of myself.... Maybe if Chelsea was alive she'd know how to paint too... Just maybe.

   I couldn't help but stay even though I knew I was invading her privacy... A painting caught my eyes....it looked so confusing, was it human?... It looked like a girl and also it looked like wind...it looked too good to be drawn by this girl.

    "Did you draw this?" I whispered but I knew she wouldn't hear cause of the earphones she had on.

    "No.....I won it, It was drawn by Arthur Latsis,a famous British artist,...he said he'd give it to anyone who could tell what it means" a reply came and I turned into the face of the beautiful young girl....How'd she hear me?

    "What does it mean?" I asked and she walked to the painting and ran her little fingers over it.

   "There's Ask, there's yahoo, there's mama...that's if you don't wanna use Google" she said suddenly very cold....Wow, That was not just a blow, it was a knock out...I blinked rapidly.

   "What are you doing here?, I don't remember inviting you and I can't remember when you knocked and I gave you permission to come in" she said.... Is anyone sure she's Six!....she sounds Sixty!

    "Uhm....I...I came to say thank you for standing up for me back during dinner" I said suddenly feeling nervous in front of a girl twenty years younger than me....Cheez!

    "I didn't stand up for YOU, I stood up against bullying.... And also I don't like Jlo....She's a bitch,I just took the opportunity to insult her... So don't get it mixed up...I don't stand up for anyone except mummy and daddy" she said swiftly and took her seat on her little chair.

    "Close the door on your way out" she said and plugged in her earphones.....Truth be told I felt like dipping her head into the can of paint on the table.... She's so rude.... Now I owe Kate fifty bucks.... Wait, she doesn't have to know I was ridiculed... I can just come out fake smiling.... I cheat, so what?

   As I walked out, I snickered at the door before advancing down the stairs feeling like trash.

    "The nerve of that little demon" I grumbled and a low chuckle stopped me on the second stair.

    "I take it you were ridiculed" Cameron said and when I faced him, he didn't look like he chuckled about two seconds ago.... His face was cold like ice ...but still very handsome okay? Good.

    "Ah no...not at all" I said and fake smiled,trying to be funny but he didn't even buy it... I wiped the smile off my face, I probably look stupid.

   "You really work as a cleaner? ..or you're lying?" He asked out of the blue and my eyes widened.... Ehmagewd, he's starting up a conversation with me... Yay!. Stupid, he's shocked a cleaner can be here, don't get ahead of yourself.

    "Yeah, I work as a cleaner.... I've known Rosie for a long time, that's why I'm allowed to be her maid of honor...I'm sorry if its bringing a taint to the Royal name, I wish I could quit but it would hurt my bff and I wouldn't wanna hurt her cause she means a lot to me.... the same way I mean a lot to her... Haha haha....and Rosie can be so devilish, she can just break a bottle on my head if I tell her I wanna quit and....I don't think I wanna die now....So yeah, I'm a cleaner" FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!...WHEN ON EARTH DID I TURN INTO A RADIO...AM I INSANE!...I wished the ground would open up and swallow me.

    "Kay,.....so you don't remember?" He asked and heat rushed to my cheeks.... Kay?, seriously Kay?..... Fine. Hold up!, remember?, remember what?...how I was ranting?, of course I remember... Or what?

    "Remember?.... Remember what?" I asked and he looked at me with raised brows.

    "Never mind....You can leave" he said and started walking up.....I gathered the rest of my pride and continued my fake smiling to save my wallet when he stopped me.

    "June?" His voice made my heart thump and the way my name sounded on his tongue made it thump even faster....oh you psycho bitch!

   "Yeah?"

     "You talk way too much....and next time, try to get rid of food particles in between your teeth before opening them while doing that thing you called laughing.... Also try to control your saliva, you ruined my shirt...Bye" he said and walked into his room.

    I was shocked and as I walked down I missed my steps and slid down the slippery stairs.

   "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrarrrrarrararrr" I screamed as I slid down all the way from the top to bottom with head bumping against the steps causing the sounds to break and sound like hiccups....

    God, why me!.

   "Are you okay?" Ivan's face appeared blur as I opened my eyes with my head throbbing... Very soon, many other faces appeared... Even Rosie and Charlie who were busy talking to the adult-adults...oh the adult-adults are here too.

    "Do I look like I'm okay!" I snapped as my head throbbed and he grinned..awwwn, how beautiful

   "You look Perfect to me....but you sound even better" he drawled mockingly.

  "You owe me fifty bucks babe.. I can bet Royalty made you trip"

  "No stupid... I tripped for your brother" I said and everyone paused and laughter erupted everywhere.

    Realization dawned on me and my headache increased....Oh ye nature,why do this to me....I'm a nice person.

   "Fuck! I tripped cause of your brother" I corrected and Rosie smirked.

   "Same thing" she and Kate said together.... I raised myself up with help from Ivan...as I made to hit the idiots, they dodged and I fell face flat... Don't ask me what happened next cause I fainted.
