Chapter 14

                I remember watching him leave through the gates. My heart yearned for him. I could still remember his touch. I could still remember his lips as they brushed against mine. I had found him. For months I had longed for Alec in my dreams and now he was here. I had felt him hold me.

                Alec was just like me. He had been hurt in this life we had been born into. I could relate to him on so many levels. For the first time I had found someone I could talk to and spend all of my time with. I wouldn’t have to worry whether he would trust me or whether he would judge me. For some unknown reason we had been born for a purpose but at least we could share it together.

                I found sleep easy that night. It had been the first time in a month that I had managed to curl myself up in my bed and drift straight off. I was soon in the dream again but there was a significant change. I could feel his hand holding mine. I looked round and he was there stood next to me with a slight smile on his face. We couldn’t speak in this dream but we didn’t need to, we just seemed to know how the other was feeling.

                I woke up to the light pouring in through my window. I was happy. I was in a complete sense of bliss. I stretched out and checked the time. Two hours before school. I climbed out of bed and had a shower. I felt the water pour down my body. I felt relaxed. I dried my hair and as always it looked beautiful and glowing.

                I walked down stairs being sure not to wake my parents because they have Tuesdays off work. I walked into our kitchen which was modern. I pulled out of the fridge some strawberry milk and poured it into a class and made myself some toast. I walked back upstairs and searched through all of my books in my bookshelf.

                “Mmm. What book do I feel like today?” I mumbled, taking a bite out of my toast.

                I pulled out Pride and Prejudice. You can never beat a good love story. I looked like a right sight as I walked over to my window seat. I was in a bright pink onesie that was a little too big. I curled myself up on the window seat with the window slightly open so I could feel the breeze against my skin and smell the trees. I was curled up the seat with a piece of toast in one hand and my glass of Strawberry Milkshake in the other with my book open on my knees in front of me.

                I sat there for about another half an hour before I even made the choice of getting ready for school. When I finally did get up I walked into my closet to be see what is should wear. I was torn as what to wear. Today I felt more confident and sick of hiding.

                “Come Alex. Stop hiding. Go for it,” I muttered under my breath.

                I got changed and looked into the mirror. I saw a sight that I had only ever seen in my dreams. I was actually looking myself not hiding behind my baggie jumpers and jackets. I was wearing a white polka dot dress that hugged my figure and came down to my knees. It had black trimming around the neck. I wore thick black tights as it was still winter and a water fall black cardigan with black flats. I wore my hair in lose curls that came down to just above my waist. For the first time in quite a while I felt pretty and confident.
