Hey Adrian what are you doing?
He takes literality about thirty seconds to reply.
Alanna are you okay.
He always does this every time I text him first, it is like he cannot understand why I would text him.
Yes, Adrian I am fine you do that every time, why.
I just worry when I see a text from you.
Okay, what have you been doing lately?
Just working and you,
I have been studying.
Have you been sleeping enough?
Yes, do not worry.
What about Michael,
What about him,
How is he?
Good I think.
You think, did something happen?
Unaware if he knew about the other night, I do not know what to say to him. If he knows and I do not say, then he will know I lied to him and on the other hand if say yes, then I will still look like a liar for not telling him what happened, I decide to go for honesty.
Adrian the other night Michael told me how he felt about me.
I know he told me.
Good job I went for honesty, it is as if Adrian knows everything.
He did.
Yes, he also told me that you told him that you need him, but you love me.
I did, are you mad at me?
No Alanna I am not mad, but he misses you so I suggest you go talk to him, Okay?
I will eventually, I made up with Sophie.
When did this happen?
Today,
What happened?
We talked, Adrian I had to tell her some things about your past, is that okay?
Not really, but if you say you had to then it is okay, I know you would not tell just anyone.
I would not, but I felt that if she knew more about you then she would back off and accept you.
Everything you do has me in mind.
That is because I love you.
Baby, do you ever want to get married?
I never thought about it before, why are you asking me to marry you.
Do you really think I would over a text?
No, I guess not.
Seriously, though Alanna is it something you want.
I feel that, you do not need to be married to be happy.
Are you saying it is not for you?
No I am just saying that I could be happy not being married.
Therefore, you could be happy without love.
I could never be happy without you, but I do not think that you need to married to love someone.
I see,
What about you, do you want to get married one day?
Yes, I have long wanted to be married and have a family. I never had one so I would like to think one day I would.
You have me.
Yes, I do but I would like to be married to you, so I can have you always.
You have me you do not need paper to know that.
I feel you do not agree with me on this.
You are only twenty-five and I am twenty-two, there is plenty time for all this.
You would think so, but giving the circumstances, there is not.
You talk as if it is over; you have given up the fight, why?
I have not, I just feel as if I might lose you and I want to make you mine.
I am not property.
I know that, but to me you are the reason I breathe. The reason I get up, the reason I believe that good things can happen for me. Therefore, you see why I want to own you. I do not ever want to lose the feeling of, love from a woman.
I will always love you and I will never be like Alice.
No, you are not like her, she is poison and you are gold, a deep glittering gold that can love someone like me.
You are the most loving person I know and I am lucky to have you.
Baby I think that you are unlucky to be with me. Sometimes I think that you would be better off with someone else.
I could never be with anyone else; there is nothing I could want more than, you.
Alanna what about, your life,
What about it,
You seem in denial that you are in danger.
I am not in denial. I just choose to be positive about it.
How can you be?
I just am, Adrian I have something I need to tell you.
What is it?
Sophie told me that a package came for me the other day.
Did she open it?
No, I am planning to go get it tomorrow.
No, you are not I will a send someone to get it for you.
No Adrian, I will be fine besides Sophie will not let a stranger into the room.
She will have classes and they can use your key when she is gone.
No, I am suffocating; I cannot stay in this house forever.
It will not be forever, but I can assure you that you will not be going back to that college, anytime soon.
That is the thing, I might have to go back and take my exams there.
No Alanna that is not possible, the headmaster told me that you could study from home.
Yes, I can study from home but the board has to decide on whether I can sit the exam at the campus.
Alanna I was under the impression that you were to sit the test from home.
Yes, I can but I want the college experience, I want to take my exams with my friends.
Alanna you cannot!
Adrian it is my life and I want to do this, if the board decide to let me.
I will make sure that they do not.
Adrian if do that, I will never forgive you!
Alanna why do you do this to me,
Do what,
Torture me like this, I am trying to keep you safe but no matter what I do, you always want to rebel against it.
