After around a week of confusion, binge eating and watching tonnes of Netflix, today is the day of the release party. It's my first one so my excitement is through the roof! Knowing my family are going to be there, maddie and Lily too, I might even invite some drivers! This day was such an important one for me, it showcased my talent and hard work which holds such a dear grip on my heart. I'm also excited to see Louis again, he will be there; obviously it's his movie too. I had a large list of things to do before I could go including checking if all the guests were still able to come, catching up with my stylist and accepting one of her many dresses that she has chosen for me. I also need to meet up with Louis partridge soon, to see if he has accepted the menu's for the party after or if he needs any help. It's definitely a large contrast to what I have been doing the last week, literally nothing. It's 6am, I wake up and try to leave my bed as soon as I can, which usually is a large struggle but my excitement made it a lot easier to get out and get ready in some sweats and a jumper. I brushed my teeth and washed my face, the refreshing cold water cooling the hot cheeks due to my nerves. Walking to the kitchen I prepare some cut up fruit, yogurt and granola, it's a fibre filled breakfast that will keep me full until the event. I sat down on my chair eating while scrolling through Instagram, my dm's flooded with exciting messages and questions about timing, I replied to most and then sent over some messages to my family and friends to ask who could make it and who couldn't. As I finished my bowl and put it in the dishwasher I startled as I heard my doorbell ring. I didn't expect anyone to come at now 7am but I opened the door anyway. To my surprise it's Lily, she was flustered and looked as if she had been running. Out of breathe she held my shoulder and closed her eyes in relief, 'Lexie thank god, girl I was so scared you would be ready by now that we couldn't get ready together, but luckily I made it in time.' I laughed 'calm down, we have 11 hours.' She pulled a confused face, 'wait... it's at 6pm? I thought it was at like 2!' I frowned before pulling up my mail, letting her in at the same time. I opened up the email that confirmed time and schedule.

To Lexie Verstappen.
Confirmation that the showing of your movie Enola Holmes is at 18:00, we have arranged for your stylist Lia Mayors to arrive at your apartment at approximately 11:00 to give you your dresses to choose from. Please can we have you at the venue at 16:00 fully dressed and ready to meet up with your co-star, Louis Partridge. You can go over the menus provided and make any last minute changes there, don't be late.
Also it would be very good if you could please bring a second separate dress for the party afterwards. We will need you to have a speech ready to say to the audience before the movie is shown.

If anything doesn't make sense of doesn't work for you please make me aware at least 2 days before the day of the event.

Thanks,
Producer team

'Yeah see Lily, we have a lot of time! I'd assume your stylist coming round mine too? We can get ready together?' She breathed out a long sigh 'yes he is, and thank goodness I was so scared!'

My night was filled with a single memory swirling around my head, like a song stuck of repeat. The feeling of her in my arms and the warmth of her breathe on my lips. I was wasted off my mind but no amount of alcohol could take this memory away from me. I wasn't aware before, but Arthur told me it's her release day today. I'm torn on whether or not to show up, I wasn't invited but my name and status would be enough to get me in without another question. I want her day to be perfect, and with the way she walked out on me that day a week ago, I don't know if I'm the one that would ruin her day or make it better. I care about her, so very much. I think it's obvious to any on looker that she means the world to me, even during my 'relationship' with Ophelia, she was always the one I was drawn to. My eyes will always find her. And my face will always soften when I see her, because she is the one ever since I first saw her that will have my heart, I will offer it to her along with my trust, strengths and weaknesses. I'm early to say it, but I really do think I love her. She occupies my mind like a strong memory that can never be forgotten. The thrill I feel with her by my side is the same as when I'm stood on a podium, she owns my heart, she just doesn't know it yet.
