Too many memories were coming back to me in a small period of time and the worst part of it all was that they weren't the good happy ones.

Memories of hurt, pain, humiliation, exclusion, rejection...

I just kept running and running. It was all too much for me. The old Alva was gone, she was never meant to come back to haunt me with her problems that didn't even matter anymore....nobody cared in the past, what will make them care now?

Sure the new Alva wasn't the happiest person on earth. She has problems just like everybody else. But at least she doesn't have bullies creeping up on her every day.

Running not only let me get away from my problems; it also helped me calm down to think straight.

"I can't let this situation interfere with my job, I still have to give Rona those damn papers and send her the digital copy of the project." I said while making a fist with my right hand, digging my fingernails into my palm in the process.

I looked at the time it was 3:00, I could still make it. Luckily the office isn't too far from all the boutiques and from all the running I did I was much closer.

After walking five minutes I arrived. I went straight to the elevator and slammed my palm on the button.

"Right after I handed in those projects I'm out of this hell hole."

The doors opened and I ran to my desk and sat down. I saved the project that was still opened on my computer and sent it to Rona. Then I grabbed the documents that confirmed that the other two projects had been sent to there rightful owners.

I got up and went down the hall until I found Rona's office door. Without even knocking I barged in; Rona was on the phone so I took a sticky note and a pen from her desk and scribbled a message on it. And with that, I left.

'Got it all done with twenty to spare' I had written on the note.

"Rona's going to be so pissed that I outsmarted her again." I thought cruelly.

But I didn't even waste time on thinking about how red Rona's face would be. As soon as I got to my spot I grabbed my stuff and dash to the elevator once again. And then I headed to the parking lot. Everything looked so normal... Minus one thing.

Sterlyn's car.

"Looks like it's spy time again" I mumbled.

I skillfully found my way to where my car was parked and then I drove calmly out of the parking lot.

"I truly will never understand why in the movies the leave in such a rush; like seriously that pretty much gives you away" I stated while heading onto the main road.

I was driving a bit lower than the speed limit and it had probably been like two minutes since I had left the parking lot.

I looked in my review mirror and my eyes widen.

"Grrr, I swear this guy just doesn't know when to give up!" I said while making a fist around the driving stick.

I choose to lose him, so I started to make many unnecessary turns. It actually worked, but not for long.

"He's going to track me all the way to my house and I can't go to Bens because he'll probably go there next ... But wait! I still have Farrah's apartment key! I could crash there for the night since she's still on her honeymoon!" I thought really quickly to myself.

With that plan in mind I made a quick left and started driving to Farrah's.

**************************

"Ugg I had forgotten that she lived on the last floor." I said while trudging up the stairs to Farrah's floor.

When I got to her door I whipped out the key and got in.

There where boxes everywhere, after Angelo and Farrah get back from their honeymoon they are moving in together.

Luckily she didn't pack any of the cooking supplies yet.

**************************

I spent the rest of the day doing nothing. I didn't want to do anything either. I just wanted to be numb, like I had been all these past few years.

"Not feeling is better than crying and running away from one's problems." I had told myself many times before and it had worked wonderfully until today.

When I exploded.
