When life changes hectically

4. The last Christmas I gave you my heart

Finland 1917, Christmas eve 

It's Cristmas... All is still so normal at Finland. The last presents have been hid and Alicia is reading the old tabloids with Augustus. The door is of course closed, because Olli Törnä could kill them, see they are not allowed to read those things. Miina does make the holiday foods and Olli is smoking as usual. At this house only women can make those daily tasks. Woman is maid to be at home and men are allowed go to the bar with friends. 

Alicia is little bit nervous from this Christmas... All of her friends do already have boyfriends and she does not have. By the way those girls are one year older than she. The Maria from neighbor also has done 'it' with her boyfriend. The thing that you are not allowed so say a word! [A/N I am almost 20 year old and I do hate this topic - how funny - so I won't be writing from it!!] Maria's parents are so religious so they threw Maria out of house, so now she needs to live at cowhouse. 

Alicia does have some feelings for Augustus, but she also does know that Miina and Olli would never accept the relationship. Gosh she is only 15! But she can't hide those feelings anymore. 

While they are reading those tabloids she see a perfect change to tell of feelings...

Alicia: Do you know what? I need to tell something for you.

Augustus: Well what...

Alicia: I might me in love with you, is that fine, you can say if its not. 

Augustus: Are you sure, you are still so young? Also what would your parents think if I would be your boyfriend. I doubt that it's not okay for them. 

Alicia: I know. They are so mean sometimes, I know that Miina is not my real mother so she does not have rights to control my life, I am wondering why dad is so stressed out now. Really what has happened for this country. Also I will be sixteen at next month so I am not so young anymore.

Augustus: Sometimes you are just so childish I mean really... Of course I do have feelings for you, just don't want to make your parents angry! 

Alicia: I know that when I say that I am so selfish, but I really don't care... also they do hate me whole time. No matter what I do or don't do.

The next morning...

Alicia

What on the earth is this pain... Have I been drinking... Horrible migraine!! And why is he sleeping next to me. Oh no dad is gonna kill both of us! Hopefully they were drunk too. Really I am not proud of myself, what if this was a one big mistake and Augustus do hate me now?

My birthday was yesterday (13th of January) Now I am twenty year old... It feels weird to be technically an adult but at the same time anything has changed.
