Oh..how peaceful...

As soon as Azure left the stage, she immediately went to look for her aunt.

She walked around not knowing where to go.

She gave up in the end and went outside to the hall. She stood there for a good ten minutes before she heard a commotion in the room.

Out of curiosity, she walked into notice a crowd of ppl surrounding an area. Azure heard a lot of screaming and recognized one of the voices at the center of the crowd. Azure pushed her way through the crowd. As she got closer the voices got louder.

"...be happy already, you seduced my boyfriend!"

"I did not! He left you because he didn't like your stuck-up personality!"

"B*tch, don't try to get out of this! You seduced my boyfriend and I'm sure you seduced others too!"

"No I did not!"

"Hey, hear that everyone! Mia Williams seduces men and probably sleeps with them too! That's how she rises in ranks! She must be soooo good in bed!"

The two ladies kept on bickering, many people didn't dare to interfere with the conversation but they were so gossip-hungry for it, so they would stand there listening intensely and staring with curious eyes.

Azure saw that her aunt and some other actress were arguing. She looked around for help but none of them seemed to have the urge too.

Azure decided to built up her confidence and stop the argument between the two. She mentally took a deep breath and gracefully walked forward. Getting closer and closer to the flames of the angry.

Azure went straight for her aunt and placed her hand on her shoulder. Her aunt immediately stopped yelling mid-sentence and turned towards Azure. Azure shook her head and signaled for her aunt to stop.

"Who's this? Hey, woman, this isn't your fight! Get out of our way!" Megan Bennett yelled.

Megan Bennett is an A-list actor. She was arrogant and she absolutely hated Mia Williams. Those two were like fire and ice, they fought every time they interact. They would always make a huge scene.

"Hey! Don't speak to Azure like that, you-"

Azure covered Mia's mouth with her left hand, stopping her from continuing her sentence. Azure stared at her aunt and shook her head. She then turned to Megan and did a slight bow. Azure placed her hand down and using the other hand, she gently tugged her aunts arm, signaling her that they should go.

Mia seemed hesitant to leave but for the sake of her niece, she heaved a sigh and decided to call it a day. As they walked out, Azure kept having a feeling like she was being watched but she instantly shook off that feeling and left.

In the middle of the crowd, Ryker stared at her as she left with another woman.

"Just who is she?" He thought.

The next morning, Azure got up and to her surprise, she saw a popular online news forum on her phone talking about the fight between her aunt and that other actress. There were also multiple scandals about Azure's aunt. Since Megan was more popular than Mia, of course many would believe her more than they believed in Mia.

Azure saw the articles and quickly went to find her aunt downstairs. She walked into the living room to find Mia sobbing with her phone on the floor in front of her. Azure glanced at the screen and instantly noticed the headlines.

Azure didn't fully know what to do or how to help, so she grabbed a near-by tissue box from the coffee table and handed it to her aunt. Mia took a tissue and continued crying. Azure gently patted her back like a child and stared at her. Azure showed no sympathy nor grief but she couldn't help it.

After what seemed like forever, Mia finally stopped crying and picked up phone. Her manager had called her earlier but she never answered, so now she decided to call back.

As she did that, Azure got up and went into the kitchen. She knew her aunt wasn't in a good mood, so she decided to cook for her.

"Waaahhhhh! Mommy! Mommy!" Six year old Azure cried.

She ran into the welcoming arms of her mother and wept.

Trisha held her daughter, soothing her and asked, "What's wrong, my dear?"

"T-they...took i-it! They...took the...n-new toy...t-that you and d-daddy....b-bought me!" Azure wailed in between sobs.

"It's ok my child, I know exactly how to make you feel better." Trisha smiled with gentle eyes.

She took her daughter's little hand and guided her into the kitchen. She grabbed an apron and placed it on.

"Ready to see some magic sweetie?"

"Y-yes."

Trisha laughed as she opened the fridge and pulled out multiple ingredients. She then started her work in the kitchen.

Trisha chopped vegetables and meat. She seasoned the food, stirred them and cooked them.

Soon after about 30 minutes, Trisha set down about 8 different dishes, that were all her daughters favorite foods.

"Eat up!" Trisha said as she gentle laughed.

Her daughter stared at the food in amazement.

Her eyes twinkled as she looked up at her mother and happily said, "Thanks, mommy!"

Trisha smiled as she watched her daughter pick up food and started placing them on her plate.

"Come eat too, mommy!" Azure said as she stuffed a piece of steak into her mouth.

Trisha laughed and sat down, as she started to eat herself.

"Food makes a person smile, might as well make that." Azure thought as the memory she dreamed of flashed before her eyes.

About half an hour later, Auntie Mia walked into the dinner room, having been allures by the sweet aroma of a home-cooked meal.

Azure gestured with her hand, welcoming her aunt to eat up.

Mia immediately sat down and picked up her chopsticks.

"I shouldn't be eating so much as an actress....but just this onceeeeeee...heh heh.." Mia said as she started gobbling up food.

Azure watched her cheeks bulge up from food and how much her aunt was smiling. Azure turned around and went to her room. She stared out at the window for a moment before grabbing a book and opening it up to read.

Azure thought to herself, "Oh..how peaceful.."
