Alice smith was just a 14 year old girl, who looked happy on the outside, but was spiraling on the inside
She had two loving parents who loved her so much that they moved to a different state for her wellbeing. Unfortunately Alices fathe, James had to stay In Oregon for work while Alice, her sister and mother, Judy went to Rivedale for a better life
Alices parents were still married and tryed to make the long distance work but it usally ended up in fights over the phone. Alice slowly watched her mothers happiness slip away and she couldnt help but blame herself
Of course her mothers kind words always helped "your an ungrateful little shit"... yea
Her father would come over every other weekend and they would spend a day or two before her would go back to work. Alice and her dad were very close and it killed her to know her relationship with her was slowly fading, along with the family
Alice lived in a small 2 bedroom apartment, barely anyroom to move around so her days usually consisted of laying in bed, crying, going to school then sleeping. The same boring routine over and over and over again. That was till she meet Fp Jones, the boy who said her name was pretty and from that day forward they spent most days together
Alice was slowly becoming happy again, she had zero friends besides Fp and she did feel lonely sometimes. But he was alway there for her,
She tried to stay out of the house as much as possible because she hated seeing her mother cry and sadly thats what she usally did
Alice and Fp where sitting on a cirb outside of the apartment, and Fp caught Aluce staring off "Whats on your mind Al?"
She pursed her lips and shook her head "Nothing, just same old thoughts"
Fp shook his head "care to elaborate"
"Nothings wroung, I just know that once I go back inside this will go away"
"What?"
"My happiness...." she looked over at him "im sorry you dont want a sob story, lets just go play vollyball" she stood up but Fp grabbed her hand
"Im here to listen Alice"
She sat back down and told him all her problems, "I think theres somthing wrong with me Fp, I try so hard to smile and keep everything and everyone together but no matter how hard I try, it just dosen't matter, nobody is happy my family is falling apart and Nobody stops to ask me how im doing" her soft vouce cracks at the end
Fp put a hand on her shoulder "how are you feeling Allie"
Alice looked at him "when im home I feel.... I feel like theres sometype of emptyness inside of me" tears started coming afloat "I want it to go away and it dose, but only when im with you, but the second I go home it all comes back and I cant get rid of it"
Fp pulled Alice into a hug, he wasn't sure what was happening, he wanted to help her but his mind didn't know how, the only thing he could think of was to hug he and never let go "Im sorry Al, It will get better I promise"
Mabey Fp made a promise he knew he may not be able to keep but it made Alice feel better in the moment,
Did Alice ever get that feeling of emptiness to go away? Mabey, but it wouldn't be for a very long time
