Alice woke up, finding herself in the shade of a large tree. She heard her sister call her name and she stood as she dusted herself off. She tried to remember the dream she had but it was too hazy in her mind. She barely remembered tea parties and weapons but that was it.
Her sister called again and Alice ran towards her. A big smiled filled her face and made her sister smile too.
"I told you not to fall asleep while I went to get cards; I didn't find them by the way. Did you have a good little nap little Alice," Lorina said, her face bright.
"Oh yes but I had quite a queer dream but I can't seem to remember it," answered Alice. Her face turned into a frown.
"That happens to me too, Alice. It always seems that the best dreams are," Lorina said cheering up Alice,"What would you like for lunch."
"Um, a cucumber sandwich sounds nice," Alice spoke. Yum it was one of her favorites. Lorina agreed that it would be a nice lunch and set off to make it.
Alice went into her room to change into another dress. It was a light blue and looked like her darker blue dress except less intricate. Alice heard a thump against her bedroom door. She opened it for find Dinah.
She saw shiny black shoes next to the feline. Her eyes traveled up the legs and her eyes widened. She saw someone she didn't want to see her ex-boyfriend. For some reason he made her think of the dream she couldn't remember. He used her to get to her lovely sister Lorina. She glared at Aden not knowing what else to do.
Why is he here, she screamed in her mind. How did he get past dear Lorina? Why would he be here unless, no it couldn't be that! Lorina wouldn't have.
Alice ran past Aden to get to her sister. The sandwiches had been made and Lorina smiled as if the world had not just crashed down on Alice.
"Lorina, what is Aden doing here!" Alice bellowed.
"Alice calm down. I invited Aden over because we wanted to tell you something," Lorina did a dramatic pause," we are engaged to be married. Is it not wonderful?"
Alice's world turned upside down, spun around and was then dropped. She knew her sister had been seeing someone but Aden, how could she? Tears stung her eyes and a tiny noise escaped her throat. How could this be wonderful? How could her sister do this to her? She felt as though her blood was drained from her body
How could she do it? How? HOW? That was all that repeated in her head. She unfroze and ran past Aden to her room. She tripped slightly on the stairs. She buried her face in the pillow and cried till she couldn't cry anymore.
Alice thought she could trust her sister. Alice had cried to Lorina about what Aden told her. She told her about what Aden had pressured her to do. Lorina had cheered her up but now she was marrying the jerk. After Aden had been Alice's first and him even cheating on her, her lovely sister was going to marry him. He was a player could she not see that. He could care less about what he said to women.
Aden had told Alice he loved her but then a few days later he would say she's worthless and the only reason he went out with her was because he pitted her. He used the carrot-stick method on her.
A new question was brought to her mind; how long have they been going out? Alice had been separated from Aden for only two months. Did that mean Lorina and Aden had dated behind her own back? Did that mean her sister betrayed her? Anger and betrayal clouded Alice's thoughts.
"I'm not going to their wedding. They can't force me," muttered Alice. She fell asleep as voices floated around in her head.
"Look at Alice. She has only been back for an hour and she is already crying. I wished she would have stayed. I thought you were tougher Alice," a deep male voice said.
"Yes - but we both know we could not have stopped her. It was her choice to make," another male voice said. Alice could not hear the name the second male called the first.
"If I ever go to her world remind me to kill that bastard," the first voice threatened.
Alice woke up. Her eyes were sore from the crying she did. She looked at her clock and saw it was exactly six o'clock. She went down stairs to see Aden sitting in her father's chair at the dinner table! Lorina didn't even do anything about it. Fury turned her vision red and all she saw was her maiming Aden.
She took the seat farthest from Aden and Lorina. Alice's eyes watched the look of love Aden gave to Lorina. She wanted to puke. They acted as though she was not there. They seemed to be undressing each other with their eyes. She forced herself to hold down her food and actually finish the dinner.
She left the table immediately after finishing her dinner. She lay on her bed and snuggled with Dinah. She heard two people clomping up the stairs. The door slammed which made her jump. She doubted she would get any sleep tonight.
She struggled with trying to go to sleep. Many thoughts flew in her head: the dream she could not remember, her sister and her ex, and the voices from earlier. She swore she was not crazy. She almost swore that Lorina and Aden where trying to rub their relationship in her face. Alice had never imagined her beautiful seemingly pure sister with that jerk. How could she!
Great now I'm back to those thoughts again, reprimanded Alice. She ignored every noise in her house by humming a song. She could not remember where she had heard it before. It was very catchy in her opinion. She felt as though she should remember it and that it was important. She fell asleep after humming it a few times over.
Ah, a sequel to Pressure. I wondered if it was ever going to happen. I'm deviating from my normal Let-us-screw-up-the-oc's-mind kind of story to a drama filled one. I'm not sure how long this story will be but probably not to long. There will (Hopefully) be no death in the story like its predecessor. Well really Alice didn't even die. I hope you all will enjoy this.
