Alice II

Part V

"You're crazy if you think I'm going without Alice," Drake told him.

"Drake," I started and then started crying.

"Please Drake, let go of me," I whispered, falling to the floor. Drake started to search my eyes for the reason why I betrayed him. I didn't like the way he looked at me. It hurts to see him that way.

"You heard the girl. Let her go," Father demanded. Drake glared at him but let go of my hand like he was angry at me but still wanted to be gentle, and walked out of the house, without looking back.

Watching the door close behind him and it hurt. It made me feel sick to my stomach. I wasn't feel well. I wanted so badly to go with him. To be with him. But how? Fear pulls harder on me than love...

I ran to the bathroom and vomit. I guess I'm disgusted with myself. When I was done, I cried my eyes out. How could I let this happen?

The next day, I didn't get out of bed in the morning. Strangely, Father didn't bother me to make him his dinner late night.

Since I finish vomiting in the bathroom, I went to lay down on my bed. Drake never came that night so I cried myself to sleep. I waited almost long night for him but he never show.

I knew it. He hates me now. He hates me and never wants to see me again.

The door knob turned and someone entered the room. It was my dad of course. He looked worried. It scared me. He doesn't usually get worried about me. It was different.

"Alice, are you okay?" he asked, sounding like he cared.

"Ye-yes," I lied, trying to sit up but was too weak. I ended up crashing back down. It was probably because I haven't eaten since yesterday. Maybe I need my sleep. Whatever the reason is, I can't get up.

"Well if you're well enough, go make me something to eat," he said, then left. Makes sense now why he was worried.

I dragged myself out of the bed and make him some waffles and bacon. After I finish, I went back to bed. I tried my best to go back to sleep.

I got up again around noon and made him more food and then I attempt to do a little cleaning. I really did try to clean but the smell of all the products made me sick. In the end, I got a glass of water and went back to bed.

I woke up at five to the sun completely gone. I knew in an hour or so, I would have to make dinner for that man.

I sighed and thought how depressing my day was. Not once have I stopped thinking about Drake. I'm worried about his safety and his well being. I'm also wondering if he's still mad at me. I think he completes me hate me now. I betrayed him for my Father. I hope he knows it was out of fear.

Even if he hates me and never wants to see me again, long I get a chance to know that he's okay, I'll be fine.

I turned toward the window and found two red eyes staring into my room. I jumped back and almost fell out of my bed but then I realize that I know someone with red eyes. I leaned back into the window.

It was Drake! He was outside my window!

I opened my window without even thinking. Snow start to come onto my bed. I didn't care though. Drake was here.

"Dr-Drake, what are you doing out there?" I whispered. I slowly lean out the window and touch his hand.

It wasn't a dream. It was really him. He was cold. Really cold. Now that I think about it, he looks paler than usual.

"Dr-Drake, come inside," I told him. He shook his head at me.

"I can't. There something stopping me"
