Chapter Seven

THANK YOU ALL FOR READING, VOTING AND COMMENTING. IT REALLY MEANS A LOT TO ME :) KEEP READING <3

"I was the type of girl who was quiet in large groups or around people I don't know, You could only see my real self if we were close. I smiled at most inappropriate times. Well that's okay. I was a hopeless romantic. I tripped over air,up stairs,and over people's feet. I was the hardest person to offend but it was all too easy to make me feel horrible. I was awkward and clumsy but that was me. But now , Time has changed. I have changed. I am not that clumsy and gawky anymore. I am smart, fashionable and exclusive. People come after me now. The world lies on my feet. I am strong and independent like I ever wanted to be. I got what I always wanted. And my dad? huh! well whatever he wanted never happened and will never happen. His dream of seeing me ripped and cracked was shattered the day I shifted to LA. This place was like heaven for me. I am Glad and thankful towards God. He supported me throughout and He will till the day I live. "

She felt blessed and fortunate.

9:30 am , Tuesday morning.

"Today I have to find proof against that company. I think Its that Henry who is after this. What do he want now? He was a mean shit when at that time. I wonder whats he up to now."

It freaked her.

She didn't liked the idea of Henry destroying or deciding her life. She made her own destiny. She was a woman of beliefs.

She parked her car at the nearest lake. She needed some air. It was a pleasant morning so she decided to make a stop at the lake before going to the office.

  The lake appeared as if by magic as She crested the ridge. It was in teardrop-silver in color and it was shaped like a perfectly flat disc of metal. No sound rang out from the shimmering emptiness of space around it. Monastery quiet, it was lined with pine trees and the whiff of mint wafted up to us. She decided to make her way to its decanter clear shore. The idyllic scene took her breath away. Unruffled by wind or rain, it was vault still and restful. The only sounds were the bumbling of bees and the heavy echo of a raven cranking.
Out on the lake, flopping trout were slapping the surface. They were hoping to catch one of the squadron of flies that buzzed about. The heaven-leaking light added a golden tint to the face of the lake and it was paradise. A startling eureka moment came unbidden, which involved the beauty of the natural world. She kept it to herself. She felt young. She enjoyed it.

"Such a peaceful place." she whispered to herself. She liked talking and whispering to herself. She never got bored of herself.

Suddenly she saw a dark haired guy coming towards her. He looked just like Henry. The same old Henry she loved once.

"Oh no Henry" she was petrified.

The guy was coming towards her now.

She turned her face and her back was facing him now.

She felt weird. The feeling she had never felt from the past few years was actually killing her now.

"It couldn't be Henry. I hate him. What do he want now? Was he following me? I don't love him. Just a normal guy from your past Alice, Just a normal guy." She tried to get these words in her mind.

She tried to be OK. she needed to face him now. What was wrong with her? She was strong not fragile.

She felt an increased feeling of Adrenaline rushing down her gut.

"Its time" She turned.

The guy stood right in front of her. He looked confused and was smiling.
