Chapter Fifteen

I went and sat down opposite the guy.

"How are you lily?" he asked me.

"I'm fine thank you sir" I answered shyly. It had been a long time since an adult had asked me how I was.

"Don't need to call me sir. Call me Alex."

"Um ok si- Alex"

"So what do you like to do? Hobbies? Passion?"

"Uh I liked drawing and painting before I came to Germany." I said looking down.

There was a bad history of why I stopped drawing. I always wanted to be an artist or designer. But after my parents death it seemed impossible to fulfill that dream. And I let it shatter my heart and dreams.

"And why did you stop?" he asked me.

I didn't say anything. I didn't want him to know I was weak and was punishing myself for my parents death. I could feel Mia's and Jo's eyes on me. I didn't want to let them know. Only thinking about it made me sad.

"Okay lily, I think you are tired. Why don't we talk about it tomorrow?" he asked.

I sighed in relief. "You're here tomorrow?" I asked him.

"Ya I'm here for the week, I have to know you guys before I marry Mia." he said smiling.

He seemed nice. I hope he is.

"Ok then goodnight, sleep well lily" he said.

"Thanks Alex, goodnight" I said and went up.

I held back my sob as I  re entered the kitchen for some food.

Then I went up to my room. I needed to talk to someone. I wanted a hug. I wanted someone with me to comfort me. I started to call Meg, but I realized that she couldn't come here.

I lay down in my bed, rethinking about my passion. I looked at my huge canvas, the only one I had bought from India.

It was a painting of my city, being dissolved in my shattered dreams. I made it a week after my parents death. And after that I swore never to paint again. However happy it might make me.

I lay in bed looking at the painting, dissolving in my tears I fell asleep.

I woke up the usual way I wake up, with the nightmare. I found out that this time I had not woken up early but I had overslept.

I took my shower and getting into my clothes I team down to the kitchen. Everybody was there, even Mia, hmm surprising.

"Wirklich früh bist du nicht?" Mia said.

"Up really early aren't you?" Jo translated immediately.

"Um I'm sorry, I...um...I...overslept."

"Why didn't you sleep early last night?" Alex asked me.

Great. Why did that guy have to be so fucking suspicious?

"I well...ya...but in the downtown I slept late...so...ya." I said.

Then I took my breakfast. As soon as I finished it I picked up my cycle key and started to go out.

"Where are you going?" Alex asked.

"Um school?" I answered turning around. Are you serious?

"Oh no, I will drop you to school" he said, getting up.

"Its ok you know, Alex we can go on our own" I said.

"No I want to drop you C'mon get in my car."
