Brenna and olivia argued about the dress the next morning until elliot stepped in and said "ok you two let's come to a middle agreement."

"No. That dress is not that bad and it's one night for a few hours with body guards everywhere. God can I just be a normal teen celebrity for one freaking night?!" Brenna groaned and walked out of the kitchen.

Olivia sighed "can we rewind and go back to when she was a cute 6 year old?" She half teased with elliot.

Elliot let out a small laugh sigh. "She's a teen and she's testing boundaries like all teens. Trust me I've been through it 3 times but she's not wrong completely. Trust me Maureen tried to wear alot worse dresses than that one. She just wants to try to put the past behind her and if she thinks this will help maybe we let her try it."

"Really? You want to let her go to a public event in that dress?" She rolled her eyes.

"Like she said her and the other teen girls will be surrounded by the body guards and me and you will be just a few rows back in the parents area." Elliot shrugged. "Got to let her grow some time."

Olivia groaned but nodded and finally gave in. "Ok. No more arguing for now."

The morning of the premier olivia and Brenna went to get thier hair and makeup done. Olivia was in a separate room getting her hair washed while Brenna was getting her makeup finished and once again Brenna seen a few small flashes. It jolted her head to awareness as she looked around a bit shaken. The makeup artist looked at her "you ok ms. Benson?" She asked since Brenna had her name officially changed to her mothers maiden name several years ago.

"Um....yeah I just...I thought I saw something but it's probably just my nerves playing tricks on me." Brenna said shaking it off as the woman continued doing her make up.

Once they were both finished they left to go back to the apartment and change.

After arriving at the premier elliot went in alone while Brenna took her mother with her down the red carpet along with Sadie and Clare. The flashes from the paparazzi were bothering her more than usual although she tried to hide it olivia could tell something was making her daughter uncomfortable. Olivia whispered "bren what's wrong?"

Brenna shook her head "just...just a headache I'm fine" she faked a smile and went inside with her friends and mom until the girls separated from olivia and took thier seats near the front. Brenna tried to stay seated and not worry but something about all the flashes she had seen the last two weeks were getting to her and she looked at Clare and Sadie and said "I'm gonna run to the bathroom I'll be back ok?"

"Ok but don't be too long it starts soon and the producers and director are gonna want us up for photos." Sadie said.

Brenna just nodded and walked off towards the bathrooms.
