"It's just you and I tonight, why don't you figure my heart out?"

I stare at the words on the phone screen, wishing with everything in me that I could retrieve them in some way. Obliterate them. But they're already out there in the universe, and the message has been delivered according to my phone. It's been over two weeks now, and I've been relatively well. I've been busy getting my life back on track, as well as organising the business. Basically doing anything and everything to keep my mind off Harry, and I feel like I've just undone all my hard work. One step forward, ten steps back.

I don't know what I was thinking in sending that. Of course I want to know how he's doing. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to hear from him. He was such a huge part of my life, and it's truly affected me that I can't just call, or visit him. It hurts to go from seeing your best friend every day, to be told that you can no longer see them anymore. It's just horrible.

I wait with zero expectations, but all the hope in my heart that he'll reply, but I never receive his response.

Enough of this. I have much bigger things to focus on. Like Celia Wright for one - a young, established model who's agreed to meet later in the week, with potentially some of her other model friends. It brings me a lot of relief that I don't have to start small, but instead I'll have access to such high profile types to those that are becoming bigger than the brands that they represent. I can see where my career is taking me, because I hold the reigns to my future, and I'm in control for once. I've given up everything once before, and I don't intend on doing it again anytime soon. This time I know what it's like to have nothing, and I'm not about to give it all up again.
