Chapter One
"Your
eyes they look so bright,
a funky flair in my appetite,
but
there's no room for you,
my feet are on the ground,
and my head
is in the clouds,
but you still can't break through,
whatcha
gonna do.
I'm not just gonna stand around,
Waiting for my
lips to be read,
falling through the cracks in the ground,
my
feelings need to be said.
Flowing like water in a crimson
melody,
the orange plastic sun is shining,
and the truth so
hard to see,
the rain of your existence if falling down on me,
and
the soap suds spread like a disease from my washing machine.
I'm
not just gonna stand around,
Waiting for my lips to be
read,
falling through the cracks in the ground,
my feelings
need to be said.
I'm not just gonna stand around,
waiting
for you,
falling through the cracks in the ground,
and I'm
hoping that you'll make your next move,
that you'll make your next
move...
I'm not just gonna stand around,
Waiting for my
lips to be read,
falling through the cracks in the ground,
my
feelings need to be said."
Alexandra or Alex as she was called by her family, sang while she was in the shower. She didn't know the truth about herself. She was a kidnap victim, the only thing she knew was that her birth mother beat her senseless everyday that she lived with her, or at least, the woman she thought was her birth mother. No one believed that she had been abused, but she knew the truth. Alex Turner, a girl who sometimes thought she was an idiot because she couldn't graduate from high school before age 20, she just didn't know that she was actually 17, not 20 like she believed she was, which in turn made her a very smart girl.
Truth being, she was a 17 year old girl named Victoria, the weird thing was that she wasn't even close to being blonde like her real birth mother, her birth father must have had dark hair like she had. Alex was home alone, she had taken some time off of work to demonstrate a game that day, it was a free game and it came with a $100.00 check, which free money was something she would never pass down. Alex got out of the shower and dried off her hair and body, putting on a robe. It was still winter where she was, and it happened to be snowing out, so she was naturally freezing her naked ass off. The doorbell rang and she opened it. "Can I help you?" she asked.
