Lost.

Chapter 7

I slowly walked 'till i reached histoire d'amour.
I walked in to be greeted by the familiar smell of the baking that's going on in the kitchen.

I sat on one of the couches beside the Huge windows.

I rested my head on the couch as i stared outside at the darkness.

The light allowing me to see my reflection on the clean glass.

🎶"Your love is like a studded leather headlock. Your kiss it could put creases in the rain"🎶

I heard the very Familiar voice of Alex turner singing the words of Suck it and see by Arctic monkeys as it played.

I Noticed a figure standing close to the couch facing me, i looked up to see that it was Alexandra, holding a cup of coffee with a cookie on top of it.

I looked at her with half closed eyes and smiled.

"Hey Al," i said

"Hey, can i sit with you? There's only two customers anyways" she asked

"Sure," i said.

"Oh by the way, Johanna sent you this" she said handing me the Cup with the Cookie.

I looked at her and smirked, "with the cookie?" I smiled.

"Yup, with the Cookie" she chuckled as she sat down.

"So, Consider this the very first time you ever see me. And we're complete strangers talking for the first time" she said

I chuckled at her excitement.

"i'll tell you about myself, and you'll tell me about yourself" She added

"Deal?" She asked getting her hand out.

"Deal," i said shaking her hand

"You start. I don't like starting anything" i said narrowing my eyebrows and shaking my head as i took a sip from my coffee.

"As you wish. I'm Alex Marie Clark. I'm 18 and i live a few blocks away from here. I like horse riding, desserts and books" she said as she held her hands together

I looked at her eyes that were covered by the shadow of her cap.
I could still see the Sparkling of her Blue eyes tho.

"More, and slowly" i said resting my head at the couch as she rested her back on it as well.
She started telling me her life story

"I was born and raised in France, my dad owns the biggest wine company in Rouen. We were a happy small family. I was the only child, We had a big house and luxury cars and boats. I got everything i wanted before i even say the word "i want". But in one blink all of that was taken down." She said

I looked at her still wanting to know more and wondering how a perfect life could be taken down in one blink.
She sighed and looked at me.
"You can trust me" i said to her
She nodded

"Two years ago in one usual evening mom came home crying and went to her room immediately.
I went up to her and she told me that we have to leave everything. She started packing her bags and my bags as well when dad came.
He told me to wait outside as they talked.
I heard crying, swearing, shouting and threatens

For a second everything was silent and then dad came out sighing.
He sat next to me on the ground and started talking to me.

He said that he has been married to another woman for 5 years, he has 2 kids from her and mom just found out.
To be honest i wasn't surprised. Dad was never close to me, and he never really knew anything about me.

He said that mom wants to take us out of France, and that he's okay with that decision. He just wanted to tell me.

I wasn't shocked i was actually excited that we're going to get out of France and see new places.

After 3 months the divorcing paper was done so me and mom came to brighton. She then started to work in an accounting centre as i worked in a restaurant.

Even tho dad sent us lots of money every month, she never used it.

She told me she doesn't want anything that'd remind her of him.

And she tried so hard to ignore me 'cause i was the only thing that reminded her of him.

'till one day she came and told me she has to leave me 'cause she couldn't take it anymore.

She said there's that guy in her office called James. She told me about how sweet he is and he'd take care of her.

She said she'll move to Australia with him. She said she'll try to send me money every month.

I didn't stop her 'cause i knew that she deserves to be happy. She only sent me money in the first two months then stopped.

Since then i don't know anything about her or him.

I don't miss them tho, i'm just living by myself right now! It's me against the world" she finished her words with a smile and a teary eye

I looked at her and smiled then held her hands.

"I'm always here for you" i said giving her a warm smile.

"Thanks" she said smiling at me

"So" she started, "won't you tell me about your story?" She asked

The question hit me like a truck..should i really tell her?..
