Part 42
The morning after Star Factors ‘Rock’ theme night, Red was in high spirits, whatever nonsense had been written about Ellie would not damage her chances after the performance she’d given the night before. He had already been on to his lawyers regarding the ridiculous libel Jess had inexplicably blabbed to the gutter press. Noush was in the living room watching the breakfast show ‘Sunrise’ enjoying a nice veg out when the announcer mentioned ‘Star Factor’
“Hey Dad, come watch this, it’s about the contest”
Red joined his younger daughter on the sofa as the presenters announced the next segment of their show.
Lauren, the lead female presenter, spoke first;
“Welcome back and we’d like to now say Hello to our guest this morning …Jessica…Now if you’ve been glued to the TV every Saturday night these past few months like we have, you may well recognise Jessica’s beautiful and talented daughter Ellie De’Vill…Hi Jessica..lovely to have you with us this morning”
Red couldn’t believe his eyes…Noush gasped
“Oh god Dad!!! What an earth is she doing???”
Jessica sat cool as a cucumber with the hosts Lauren and Rory…
“Oh Thank you both , nice of you to have me on here” She said sweetly.
“So tell us Jessica, what’s it like to have a rising star as your daughter?”
Rory leant towards her smiling politely.
“Well I’m proud of her of course…In so far as I admire her talent…however I feel she is embarrassing herself by being involved with a tacky reality show” Jessica exclaimed..
“Really? There have been some amazingly successful artists coming out of ‘Star Factor’ Ellie always comes across as a very dedicated young woman” Lauren said. Somewhat taken aback by Jessica’s attitude.
“Had I been able to raise her in my way this regrettable attention seeking would never have happened…I did not have the heart to separate her from her half siblings and her father…he was very liberal with her unfortunately.”
Lauren and Rory exchanged glances… “Sooo….how do you think Ellie will cope with life in the spotlight if she wins…she certainly seems to be a popular contestant” Lauren went on
Red and Noush recoiled in shock at what they were hearing
“How can she do this to Ellie Dad? Is she joking?? “
Noush wailed
“I don’t know sweetheart…but she will pay for this..” Red muttered
The interview dragged on….
“I don’t think I can allow my daughter to end up like so many of these ghastly young so-called celebrities who end up in the tabloids displaying their private parts, drunk and falling out of mini cabs” Jessica shuddered…..
Rory and Lauren seemed shocked too… “But isn’t it so that you have been to various newspapers and given them details about Ellie’s alleged wild past?? Is that really acceptable from her own mother?”
Jessica raised her eyebrows.. “The problem with young people today is they are not responsible…not accountable for their rash actions and bad judgements…..I offered the best lifestyle to that girl..paid for her private education and she didn’t even come to see me when I was in the throes of a terribly abusive relationship….”
“I see…so what do you hope to achieve by coming here this morning?” Asked Lauren, looking decidedly uncomfortable.
“I hope that at best Ellie will let me back into her life and allow myself and my husband Laurence to become the parents she always should have had…to help steer her career to a more respectable classical route and of course help her manage her success…..we don’t want her blowing all her earnings on drugs and alcohol and burning herself out…”
Lauren and Rory wrapped up the interview gratefully and Red turned off the TV.
Rock Chick:
“What the hell???” gasped Red…..
“Dad you should go to her….we’ll be ok”
Noush exclaimed
“Lord knows I wish I could sweetheart…..you and Rhys have school though”
“Look, why don’t you call Molly? She can keep an eye on us…I mean she offered to help any way she could when the papers printed all that stuff “
“I don’t know love, she has her hands full already with her brother and sister your age …”
“Maybe if you can hold off going up till Saturday…none of us will have school…please just ask her Dad..”
Red sighed, he checked in with Ellie first then popped across to the little white house opposite.
Molly jumped as she let Red in…he was charming as ever, smiling and apologising for disturbing them…although he did look very upset as well…her palms always sweated madly whenever he was near her..
“Molly, I am so sorry but I wasn’t sure what else to do…I need to go up and see Ellie this weekend for the show….just seen her mother on television spouting even more trash about her…I was wondering if there was any way you could look out for Rhys and Noush…I am so sorry to have to ask this”
Red looked like he was about to burst into tears as his crystalline green eyes looked right into hers…
Molly wanted to hug him…but Molly just never managed to do things like that..so she kept rigid…”Um…of of.c course…anything at all to help….Jake and Louise get on great with the twins…uh….I can get them dinner and you know…I can do whatever you want…” Molly clammed up, going a lovely puce colour…
Red was too distraught to notice Molly’s embarrassment, but her adoptive siblings grinned at the faux pas.
“I so so appreciate your help Molly, you’re a true friend” Red said earnestly.
Molly couldn’t string much of a sentence together in his presence, normally she was a chatterbox but with him standing so close she daren’t risk saying else silly…He squeezed her hands warmly and said his goodbyes, leaving Molly practically hyperventilating.
Later on Molly sat with Jake and Louise chatting and gazing at the TV.
“It was nice of you to help him out” Jake said, “Got to be worth a dinner date right?” Jake grinned as he spoke..The pair of them were trying to get her to ask Red out ever since she’d admitted she found him attractive.
“Jake don’t start that again…it’s not exactly likely” Molly moaned, she got jittery just thinking about it.
“Come on Moll, you have to put yourself out there…you took care of all of us for a long time now…helping Mum and Dad, caring for both of them when they were ill….what are you going to do when we go to college? And you know my birth Mom’s family are still asking if I want to go stay with them for a while..”
Molly sighed…”Jake, You don’t have to put anything on hold for me..I’ll be fine…don’t worry”
“I know, but you really deserve some fun times…and I know you have the hots for him!” Jake went back to watching the TV smirking…
“I can help you pick out some nice clothes..and some good make up when you do go out with him…Sam taught me loads when she was doing beauty therapy at college.” Louise gushed…
“I love you both but you’re doing my head in!!! Red isn’t interested in me…not that way…not after his partner died…he said he would never get over her….anyway he’s a bit busy with Ellie and the contest…and his work…Noush and Rhys…...”
Molly protested
”You have a lot to offer sis” Insisted Louise sagely…..”Even Red would see that if you just let him you know…..”
Molly shook her head…”Lou you watch too many soap operas”
