Love, Alaïa

Chapter 21- Little You?!

The sun is shining bright today. Such strong sun hasn't shone in the past couple weeks. It was a rainy past couple of week. See what I did there? Okay I can't be this silly. Now you see why I'm still single? Don't he fooled, it's definitely by choice. Today Dev is getting discharged and coming home. She's really much better now. You wouldn't even say she had been ran over. Alex is picking her up from the hospital at 10. Im so happy that things are finally working out. Now they can finally get married! What we've all been waiting to witness. I hear wobbles, my dog, go crazy in the front yard and I knew that the mailman was here.

"Morning Alaïa", he smiled holding his hat.

"Hiii Ben", I smile. Ben has been our postman since I was 5. He has a son around my age. He doesn't even live that far away.

"Looks like you have some good news in your hands. All the best sweety", he smiles and waves of. Ah, I love Mr Ben.

"Cross your fingers", I wave back.

I go inside, straight to my room, throwing the other letters on the kitchen counter. The only relevant one was the big brown in my hand. My future is in my hands. I hope no one saw me carrying this in. I can't have an more conflict in my life right now. Maybe I should throw a little party. Have all my friends and family under one roof. That hasn't happened in a while and since now we have managed to patch up all the holes, I think it's well deserved. So I grab my phone and text 'Hey, hope you having good day so far, I have decided to throw a little get together for all my special people. It is long awaited and overdue. I'm so sorry it's on short notice but I really hope you'll be there. The Melon park, tonight at 8 - Alaïa'
I hit share and grab my keys, ready to set up for tonight. I actually have a few ideas. I'm going to keep it simply but affective. I stop by target and pick out some snacks and decorations. My phone beeps in my pocket and I drop a packet of sour patch kids as I pull it out.

"Hello"

"Ms May?", a man spoke through.

"Yes, this is me. I'm speaking to?"

"Oh it's Detective Gary from the station. I have some news"

"Oh hi Sir. What do you have for me?", I asked curiously.

"We did whatever we could. We had a search warrant and we searched Ms Jacob's home. We found some weirdly odd things. Some of which consisted of multiple pictures and notes involving your brother in law Alex Cole. But it's safe to say... The suspect has been taken in for questioning and end result, she has been sent to a physictric facility"

"Really? Wow that's crazy!", I said excitedly.

"No more worries, you are safe now Ms May. Go tell your sister. You did a great job. And don't worry, she'll be okay", he said.

"She tried to hurt my sister. I don't really care what happens to her", I laugh. "But thank you so much"

"Anytime Ms. Take care of yourself"

I'm so happy to know that she is out of our lives. She really is crazy. So I finish up my necessarities and get ready for the party. Hopefully everyone shows up.

I decorate the place with string lights and and pretty paper. This place might not look perfect but the love will hold it together. I lay out the snacks and drinks and play some calm music to bring out my mood.

I see a black car pull up next to win and out comes a smily boy holding some cookies.

"I brought you these. Hopefully you love chocolate chip", Andrew smiled.

"Who doesn't?", I laugh hugging him.

"I learnt this the hard way with that coffee", we both laughed.
