Potential Anatomy

chapter 13

(Time skip)

Its been a year since I was in the hospital. A year since I started to get my memory back. A year since I've seen Mr.Hast.
You see I got my memory back, well most of it, I remembered the argument. I remembered why I ran off. Why I almost died.
A year since he gave me over a billion dollars for charity. Over generous if you ask me. He forced a million into my bank account to spend on me. After I was done with the charity money I did do a little with myself. I bought a new house as instructed, bought new clothes and got a decent job working for a clothes store.
I put Tylers mother in a home for people with Alzheimer's. Now I'm living just living. I haven't spoken to anyone much since then. Avery has tried getting in contact but I blocked her out. Mr.Hast has also tried but...

Now I'm working a 8 hour shift at Tiffany's Suit and Gowns. I tailor suits and fit woman in dresses for different occasions. I was working on a rich woman's dress. I was wearing jeans and a black polo shirt. My hair in a pony tail my pencil on my ear and pins in my mouth. A tape measure around my neck and a pin needle pillow strapped to my wrist.
"Are you listening to me?" The woman looks down at me as I glance up from my thoughts.
Quickly pulling the needles from my mouth I use one to pin up a strand of fabric from her dress. "Sorry yes. You were talking about the banquet?" I ask as she looks down and scoffs. "Yes I was talking about my date. He asked me out to this banquet." I nod my head and glance up. "So who is the fella that swept this beautiful lady up?" I ask lying through my teeth. She wasnt good looking. Her hair was a dirty gold color and her features make her look like some troll. To much make up. I force a smile as she looks down smiling.
"His name is Theodore Hast."
I freeze, then immediately start working again. "I see. Is this Mr.Hast a keeper?" I ask as I glance up at her. Her face is frozen in a smile as she sighs obviously in love. "Yes he is. A very very fine specimen. No one of your class or character could get a hunk like him. " She says as I prick her accidentally. I apologize as she steps down. "He actually will be coming in to get fitted for a suit today." she states as I look up at her as I fake a smile. "Great. I will be expecting him then. " She nods and walks off as my co-worker takes her to the dressing room. I walk over to the counter and sigh rubbing my face. I don't remember the last time I slept.
A month or so ago when I passed out. I slept a hour last night but for some reason something of the feeling of regret comes to me each time I close my eyes. Rubbing my face I quickly open my eyes as I pull out my food for lunch. I've come to the conclusion that the only thing I can hold down is Carrots and Celery.
I bite into a carrot and write a price in my schedule book. I wish the world would just swallow me up today. As I continue to write I take another bite from my food carrot and cover my mouth with the heel of my hand as I feel eyes on me. I glance up and there he is, standing in the door way. He's sneering at me but I try to ignore him. What's his problem?  "Welcome to Tiffany's Suit and Gowns. May I interest you in a suit?" I ask as I put the carrot down standing.
"Alannah. When was the last time you had food? You look god awful." He states. He's just as Captain obvious as always.
"Mr.Hast I am working." I whisper walking, with a limp, over to him. "So unless you are here for business, which I already know you are considering your girlfriend is in the back, I do not want to have to speak with you much longer then I am expected." He frowns and narrows his eyes. "Girlfriend?" He asks.
"Yes. Miss Peacock."  He smirks as his eyes lighten up.

"I don't believe her name is Miss Peacock. Ms.Ganders." he corrects me but with a hint of amusement.

"Well you know how to choose them don't you Mr.Hast? She looks like a Gargoyle. " I shake my head and turn. "come this way. I have a perfect suit for you."
I continue to feel his eyes on me as I walk still limping towards the suits. Ever since the accident my leg has been ever persistent on making it a living hell to work on my feet. I go to therapy but it still hurts.

"You've lost alot of weight Alannah." He murmurs as I glance at him.
"It's my fault. So stop worrying." I turn grabbing a suit jacket. It's a gray color and it fits his skin tone perfectly as I hold it up to him.
"This will match her dress..." I murmur. He frowns and looks down at it.
"How do you know?" He asks glancing up at me as I hold the jacket in my hands find a matching shirt, tie and pants.
"I sized her dress."
He raises a brow as I walk by him and a squeal... No a screech from a bird can be heard.
"Theo!" Miss Peacock screeches walking over in her black, to revealing shirt, and white pants. She looks worthy of a whore house. She quickly hugs him as he hugs her back but his eyes stay locked on mine as I put his clothes on a mannequin. I watch him as he talks to her glancing at her as she looks at me with disgust. She must have said something about me Mr Hasts eyes shoot to her with a glare as she withers.
That's right you don't know that glare do you?
Mr.Hast says something in a hushed whisper as She nods and walks out of the store. Mr.Hast making his way to me watching me carefully as I step out of the dressing room. "The clothes are set up on the Mannequin for you. I'll size them once you have them on sir." He nods and looks into the dressing room.
"Stay and talk to me?" He asks looking at me. Rolling my eyes I cross my arms and lean against the wall. He walks into the dressing room and closes the door.
"Alannah I worry about you every night." He whispers obviously close to the door. I close my eyes and let out a breath. "I miss you. I really do. " He starts. I can't hear this. He has a girlfriend. 

"No. Stop. I can't listen to this. You have a girlfriend. I can't stand here and listen to you talk about how much you miss me when your girlfriend is expecting you tomorrow." I snap the voice that was once mine almost disappears as I choke. 

"I can't Theodore." I murmur and I hear his sigh. A few minutes of silence goes by and the door opens. He's in the suit his eyes dark as I look at him.  He's hot.
He's not yours.
He will never be yours again.
I smile softly and lead him to the stand as he steps up and checks himself out. Kneeling I roll his pant legs up then stick pins in them. I can feel his eyes on me then the worst thing happens... The song that has had me balling my eyes out for hours.
(Unsteady by X Ambassador)
Hold, hold on, hold onto me, cause I'm a little unsteady. A little unsteady.
I stop what I'm doing as I close my eyes. Alannah Matthews don't you dare cry! You are strong don't...
Tears fall down my face as I look down dashing the tears away as they continue to flow. Stop being weak! Not in front of him!
"Alannah?" His voice breaks through me and I squeeze my eyes shut harder. I let out a quiet sob as he stares down at me.
"I.." I choke.
Why now...
