Chapter 18.

"Ryan what are you doing out here? It's time for your speech darling." I heard Eleanor saying behind us. Ryan turned and looked at his mum. "I told you I don't want to speak in front of those people." He told his mum angrily. "But dear, I thought we talked about this." Eleanor tried to convince him as she came close to us. "You didn't introduce me to your friend." She now stood in front of us. When our eyes met her facial expression changed. "What is this bitch doing in my house?" She asked Ryan. "Mum! Don't talk about Aurora like that!" Ryan barked. "I can talk to her how ever I want." She told him. "Mum! Can you behave yourself just for tonight. Please." Ryan begged her.
