Chapter 45

“Where are you going?” Helena asked.

“Just for a walk.” Gillian said. She wasn’t exactly lying, but she didn’t want to tell her soon to be sister the whole truth.

“Well I’m going to leave you girls to it. Peggy wanted me to remind you that you both have to be here at 3 o’clock tomorrow for your final fitting.

“Yes sir.” The girls said. He walked out the room.

“You aren’t just going for a walk. You are going to see Skylar.” Helena said.

“So what if I am.” Gillian said.

“Have you forgotten that you are just 16. She’s 21.” Helena said.

“I am fully aware of that. Besides I’ll be 17 in a couple weeks. What does it matter anyway?” Gillian said.

“You know perfectly well that it matters.” Helena said.

“Do I need to remind you of your little affair with the old lady from the museum?” Gillian said.

“No, but that’s not the point.” Helena said.

“It is the point and if you say anything to Daddy or Peggy about where I’ve gone. I just might let it slip about something you don’t want them to know.” Gillian said.

“You wouldn’t.” Helena said.

“Try me.” Gillian said grabbing her jeans and a white tank out of the closet and headed into the bathroom.

Helena sat on the bed trying to think of some way to stop Gillian but having over heard the last conversation Gillian had with Tina she knew that there was no stopping her. She knew that there is know that Leo would stop his precious princess from doing anything she wanted to.

“Bette, do you guys have any beer?” Alice yelled from the kitchen.

“Yeah it’s in the. I better just go show her.” Bette said.

“That’s probably wise. You know how she is.” Dana said making the group smile.

“It’s so great for you guys to let us stay. We know you both had a fun filled week planned with no kid and all.” Shane said.
