I arrived at Jens house in the middle of the night and said goodbye to the kind Taxi driver who walked me there just to be safe.

"Hey, you okay I'll set you up with the extra room and I'll get all the ice cream we have out of the fridge," Jenny said comfortingly hugging me.

"Thank you, Jen, it's just so hurtful that she would choose to go out for a date then to listen to my feelings... It is just so hurtful." I said my eyes were still red, I wasn't usually the type to cry about my problems with my friends but I was just so upset at the moment.

"It's fine so you're gonna move in with us, right? Because I don't want you going back there, your mother needs to learn her lesson." Jen said to me with a firm look in her eyes.

"Yeah, I'm sorry to be a burden, I will find a part-time job to help with the rent," I said not wanting to be a weight that needed lifting.

"It's no issue, really don't worry me and Jeff own this place you don't need to worry about that. For now, you need rest and ice cream, I've got your favourite." She said.

"Thank you, Jen," I said mustering up a real smile for the first time in a week.

"It's no problem buttercup."

Ms Norway was heading back to her house ready to give her daughter the grounding of a lifetime, she had been late thanks to Alice's intervention and the argument she had with Alive had totally ruined her mood for the evening.

"Alice! Get down here!" Ms Norway said not so kindly, right now she thought that Alice was a disrespectful and ungrateful little brat, right now she was to clouded by anger to think.

"Alice!" She shouted again, she was getting more and more annoyed with her daughter's behaviour. But she again received no reply, annoyed she stormed up to her daughter's room to find it completely empty. She turned the lights on to see better, surely her daughter was just trying to scare her into listening, oh boy she was in so much trouble when she came back. She then notices a piece of paper in the bed and picked it up it was a note if it could be considered one it only had twenty-four letters, not including the name.

'If you want to be happy, fine but do it without me, I hope you are happy and that I never see you again - Alice.

Ms Norway heard a knock at the door and stormed down thinking it was Alice and she raised her hand ready to beat the living essence out of her, but instead, it was a man. A very familiar man.

"It's you...."
