"Ma'am!" Alex startled me.

"What?" I handed dowm my book to look at her.

"The clouds are turning dark gray."

"And?" I have no clue what this girl is saying.

"For sure it will rain hard and strong."

"And?"

"The forecast says so."

"And?"

"Ma'am, it may not be a big deal to you but it is for me. My house is quite far from here. It's hard you know. Especially when I forgot my umbrella at home."

"So that's your problem? Then take my umbrella." I started reading again.

"But what will you use? You know it will rain right? It will be strong. You shouldn't just let me take it."

I handed down the book again and raised an eyebrow.

"You should know how to take care of your health young lady!"

"So what do you want me to do?" Talking with Alex is nonsense right now. Were getting off the topic. What's wrong with her?

"I'm actually a great runner. Haven't I told you." I told her.

"You ran fast downstairs and I was there and I saw you fell. Face first, face flat. You were lucky because only your nose felt bad but it was still the same. Your face is still the same. Nothing bad happened. But you're still clumsy and I'm not trusting you to run to your car." We both laughed. I also fell downstairs when Niall's at my house.

"Besides... My car is just parked not that far." I said. "But if you don't want, Ok. You'll get sick and you'll be ugly. If you don't want it then don't. Don't care." I chuckled again.

"But!" She exclaimed. Before she could say another word, the strong rain started to fall. I shook my head while laughing.

"OK, I'll be getting it!" Then Alex ran fast to where our bags were placed.

What's with this girl? I don't think she's Ok. No, no. Not what you think. She's not Ok, I think she has a problem.

"Aze?" Alex called out. Knew it. She doesn't call me by my name at times. I liked to be called by my name but they said we're in the office and I'm the boss so... I have no choice.

"Come on Alex. Tell me." I patted the seat next to me. She sat down.

"Can I ask a favor?" She asked. She can't even look me in the eye.

"Yeah sure. Anything. We're like siblings now right?"

"Siblings but I am a lot older than you, like seven years. And Diane is the oldest, ages away from our age." We both laughed.

"Ok, to the real topic." I smiled feeling concern. I have no idea what's going on.

"Can I have a one week vacation?"

"Sure. Is there a problem?" I quickly said.

"Well, I have to go visit my dad. He's sick. And you know... My parents aren't together anymore and with my mom. I kind'a hate him for leaving us but he is still my dad." She said still not lookin at me.

I just nodded. "Ok. When will you leave?"

"As soon as possible."

"Ok then. It's Ok with me."

"Ok I better leave now." She got her bags and left.

I headed to the door with her. We saw a guy in a motor and he handed me a bouquet of flowers. I was confused because I saw Alex smiling. what is this? What's going on?
