His Light

Love

Lilac's Pov

The next morning, I woke up in Alex's room, alone. He was gone which made me kinda sad. I just turned around to stand up and then I saw a note with a rose on the nightstand.

Morning Angel,

I brought up the rose and smelled on it, a smile plastered on my face.

I immediately stood up and searched in the room for a box. Yes, a box where I can put this note and the rose in.

I had one at home, hidden where I had tapes about me, just updating about life and a diary, where I wrote my feelings in. And now I can add this note and the rose to the box. But this time it's a good memory.

I think I will go home to get my box and other stuff that is important to me. It's been a long time since I have been there.

Anyways I couldn't find box, I just left the note and rose on the nightstand. I just made my way to the bathroom to shower and get myself together. I probably look like a mess.

After I entered the bathroom, I saw my face in the mirror and well I was right, I looked like a total mess. I had bags under my eyes, my hair was out of place and well...my scars.

I am insecure about them, but sometimes I just need to feel the pain I guess. It's a habit I'm not even sure why I am doing it. It's just when I feel sad, pain or down I feel like it. Does it make sense? I don't know.

Whatever, I undress and get into the shower. And after I finished, I changed my bandages and wrapped a towel around me, walking out. I had to find some clothes, so I made my way to the walk-in closet. I picked up a white button down from Alex and changed into it. His shirt was huge for my small frame, it stopped just above my knees.

Then I decided to walk downstairs to get some water in the kitchen. The moment I opened the door of Alex's room, I was greeted by Zac.

"Morning Lilac."

"Hey Zac, how are you?"

"Great, how about you?"

"I'm fine, I just wanted to go downstairs to get a glass of water."

"You know that you should rest, it was the boss's order, we could've brought water and food to the room."

"It's fine really, walking a bit won't harm me." I smiled and made my way down the stairs, but I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to see Zac following me.

"Look Zac, you don't need to follow me around it's okay really."

"Well, you have no say on that, and Alex doesn't like a job to be done badly. If I fail, he will have my head."

"Whatever" I said and walked further.

After I entered the kitchen Anna was already there, greeting me.

"Morning Ms. Rose, have a seat; I made breakfast for you."

"I'm not hungry, I just wanted some water, thank you really." I declined.

"Please Ms." Anna said in a pleading tone, and I sighed. I really don't want to eat, but I will try.

"Alright." I finally said, sitting down and waiting for the food. And Zac was just standing in the corner of the room and looking around.
