Desparate

part 1: keeping up

Beep-beep-beep, my alarm sounded. Uhh I can't believe it's Monday already. I had already woken up from a recurring nightmare.

Only it wasn't a nightmare but a memory that has been eating my soul alive. If only he hadn't died. We could've done so many things together.

I was brought back to reality when my phone rang. Oh my God, the phone he bought for me. Snap out of it Alicia.
" Helllloooo!!!!! Girl snap out of it! And get your sleepy ass up before I drag you out myself!" Screamed Lola.
"Okay, okay I'm up", I said and with that I cut the call.

Lola was my bestie since high school. We both dreamt of becoming police officers and we fulfilled our dreams. She had curly black hair, brown coloured orbs with golden flecks, dark skin and beautifully shaped body, unlike mine. She was also one of the best officers in our department.

*********

After taking my bath, I changed into my uniform, styled my hair into a curly bun and applying a little makeup, was off to work.

When I reached there I was greeted with some scolding from Lola and Sebastian. If I hadn't mentioned Sebastian, he is my other bestie since middle school. He's two years older than me- as well as Lola - and has dark hair, grey eyes, really light skin, I mean really, pink lips and a very fit body.

I am 22 and my best friends are 24. Okay enough life telling. "Why are you late? Answer me. Agent Kingsway is going to murder you, you know that right?" Lola asks. "Yh Alice. What took you so long?" Sebastian asks.

"Guys chill, it's not like I di-" I was cut off by someone yelling my name. You know you're dead meat when you are addressed by your full name.

Alicia MacMillan!!! Get your fucking ass over before I do something I will regret!!" Cried Agent Gregory.

"Coming!" I said. This is gonna be a long day.

******
"Why are you late?" Gregory asked.
"I already told I had something going on at home. Why is this even a big deal?" I said.
"You know your state right now. You don't even know if you're going to be fired or not. I'm trying to help here and see how you're taking it. Just don't repeat it again you hear?" Gregory said.
I started feeling bad. "I-I'm so-" I began.
"It's Dean right?" He chipped in. "What?" I said. He repeated, "it's because of Dean right? That's why you are acting like this. I know it."

"Oh please it ain't because of anything. Not even Dean. He's gone and there nothing I can do. Plus I don't want to talk about it" I stated.

" Don't lie to me. You know you can tell me anything right? If it's Dea-" he began but I cut him off.
"Don't you fucking dare mention his fucking name in this fucking office!!! I said I'm fine and that's that. End of topic." I shouted.
When I realized what I said I was about to apologise when he said, "very well then. I'm helping here and I might've found a job for you to do. It's referred to as operation: But you would be transferred to the other police department. You are going undercover to protect the son of Alexandro Cruz, one of the most powerful business men in the country. He owns the-"

"I very well know what company he owns. The gold mining company right?"- he nodded- "Yeah I sure am aware of it."

"Very well then. In order to protect his son, Damien Cruz, you will have to stay in the same campus, Williams college, in which he is currently residing. You will move in tomorrow. Any questions?" He asked after.

As I was taking everything in the realization dawned me. "Wait, you're saying I'm moving tomorrow? How? Why? I didn't even have a say in the matter. It's not fair!" I stated.

"Well it's not like you have much of a choice." He said.

Uhhhh can this day get any worse? I thought.
He continued, "Mr. Alexandro will be discussing the matter further tomorrow morning, and don't be late. You are dismissed."
But-" I began but he cut me off.
"No buts and I don't have time to discuss anything at the moment. So if you are not here to discuss the mission then you can leave. You are dismissed."

Oh what the fucking hell!!!!!
He did not just do that to me.
"I'll be back", I said.
Turns out I couldn't do anything to help my situation.
