“You finally home eh?” Her father questioned her as she tried to walk to her room up the stairs; it was her worst luck to get captured. When she turned to face him her eyes couldn’t help but glare at the woman in his arms. “Diana meet my daughter a worthless junkie that dresses like if she is in mourning, nothing but a waste of time,” he slurred as he scowled at her figure.
“Darling, she is just a teenager I’m sure she is in a phase,” Diana defended but all Alice heard was ringing, her eyes blinking furiously to restrain her tears. “No she is just a piece of trash just like her mother,” he laughed.
“Whatever you old geezer,” she scoffed before turning away and walking up the stairs her father’s voice echoing through the house, cursing her. It was just the alcohol he consumed she was sure in a few hours he would be at her door apologizing.
Going into her dark room she shut the door and threw her backpack to the side, and fell onto her bed her hair falling over her pillow. She just wanted to drown into music and never resurface, not unless Liam could come and save her.
“Yeah right, he probably forgot about me,” Alice mumbled lowly gazing at the ceiling her head and heart thumping craving for some form of entertainment. These days going to parties and clubs wasn’t helping her live. Maybe she needed another boyfriend to take her minds off things…or a friend she could converse with. It has been a long time since she experienced friendship.
She might have friends but they only used her when they were alone or bored, such a shame she even classified them as friends. The only two people she cared about were Liam…and Derek her cousin that comforted her when Liam left. He was always there for her and said the right thing at the right time, and made her laugh till her tears disappeared.
Maybe she should give him a call; it has been some time since she called him. Grabbing her cell phone she pressed on his contact and called. Not even two seconds passed that she heard the smooth voice from the other end. “Hey Alice what’s going on?”
She didn’t know where to start but she felt as if tears were already spilling down her cheeks, all the day events flashing in her mind. “Derek, what do I do?”
~♥~
“Ugh what the hell is wrong with me?” Liam sighed in irritation as he opened the door to his home and was attacked by a furry monster the moment he looked set foot into home. He laughed playfully and ran his fingers through the mass of golden fur, “Hey boy.”
For a moment he forgot about what happened in school, in the nurse’s office when he had his arms around Alice. But as soon as he stopped petting Tom he felt his heart accelerate at the soft plump figure he had embraced, and pondered why he felt that way toward Alice.
She is nothing more than a girl he used to know, yet her womanly figure pressed against his own really brought his mind into…well he can’t help it after all he is a teenager with hormones. He shook his head and walked to the living room where the television played a drama.
“How many times do I have to tell David to turn off the TV?” Liam grumbled as he went to the sofa to retrieve the remote control. He was about to turn it off when the boy’s voice met his ears.
“I hate it, you really drive me nuts,” he told the girl his expression sour mingled with anger. The girl furrowed her eyebrows and was about to speak when he cut her off by grabbing her arm and pulling her into his chest, raising her head up to bring his lips against her own.
Liam was puzzled by the setting, how the character could hate her and yet kiss her the next moment it was really confusing to understand. But was he to know when he has never liked someone, or experienced “Real Love.”
“Just a bunch of rubbish,” he scoffed before turning the television off and going up to his room where he went to his window to take a peek at the house next door wondering why he even cared about such a bothersome girl like Alice.
When they were young she never gave him so much problems, she was quiet and always stayed by his side like a little sister. Growing up sure was tough, he couldn’t wait until he gets into college where he can just relax and have fun.
He got his cellphone and put “Afraid” by The Neighborhood loud on his speakers, he loved listening to music when he studied it made him serene as he sang along to the lyrics. Music lifted his spirits, like an outlet for his emotions.
“When I wake up I’m afraid somebody else might take my place,” he sang as he worked on a problem for Calculus, his pencil writing the formula along with the beat of the music. Out of curiosity he glanced once more at Alice’s window and saw her head stick out the window.
He froze and watched as she looked up to the sky, her blazing red hair swirling around her face and her rose tinted cheeks pale under the breeze. Liam felt a shudder run through his back as she parted her plump lips and mutter words before disappearing back inside.
Thank you…
