Chapter 1:
*At the Quartermains*
Emily paced nervously in front of the door waiting for Lucky to come over.
Edward,“Young Lady if you keep pacing your going to put a hole in the floor.”
Emily,“Grandfather, today is the day that decides my future. I’m waiting for Lucky to come over and wait for the call with me.”
Edward, “That Spencer boy is coming to this house, Emily I thought that we discussed this.”
Emily, “I don’t care what you said Lucky, is my *best* friend and *he* is here for me, unlike *some* people in this family.”
Edward leaves mumbling something as the doorbell rings, Emily races toward it.
Emily, “Lucky I thought you wouldn’t make it.”
Lucky, “Hey, now would I miss the most important phone call in my best friends life.”
She smiles and says, “Do you want to go to the Living Room and wait?”
Lucky holds out his hand and says, “Sure lets go. My Emily your hand is shaking.”
“I’m so unbelievably nervous, Lucky if the don’t like me, no one will, they are the biggest agency,” Emily says.
* The Phone rings and Emily runs to answer it*
Emily, “Hello, oh hi Tom,.....yeah......ok.....yeah I understand, Thank You.”
She turns around to face Lucky as tears fall down her face and she runs to him sobbing, he holds his arms out and she runs into them.
In between sobs she manages to get out, “Lucky......they.......didn’t.......want......me.”
Lucky, “Shh Em its ok.”
*They spend a hour or two taking about the Nurses’ Ball to get her mind off modeling*
Lucky looks at his watch and says, “Are you ok here for awhile, I have to watch LuLu tonight.”
Emily, “Yeah, I’ll be fine call me later.
“Will do,” he says as he gives her a hug and whispers in her ear, ”I think that there crazy for not taking you.”
Emily smiles and says,”Thanks for being her for me.”
A few hours after he left Emily is in her room talking to herself,”I know why they didn’t take me I’m to fat to be a model. Well Emily what are you going to do about that?”
