It was early in the morning, the sun was barely up and the smell of bacon and eggs urged me to get out of bed. Mornings were not something I was fond of. Lifting off the covers I headed to the dining hall,it was chilly and the air that entered my lungs felt so crisp and new, as little rays of sunshine dance on my body warming me up to the core. Smiling I took a seat at the large table, bouncing my legs up and down. An older looking man entered the room balancing three large plates filled with bacon,eggs,and even French toast!
"Good morning Miss",Alfred greeted me, placing the plate of food in front of me, my stomach growling in approval."Good morning Alfred, would you happen to know were dad is?"I had asked,as he put another plate of food at the head of the table, his smile started to fade telling me that he would not be making it for breakfast,my father had never really been home, we would sometimes eat a meal or two together or walk past each other down the hall and on special occasions when he was around we would watch a movie together or do something, but it never felt like he was truly there. Alfred was more of a father to me than he will probably ever be.
"Its okay Alfred would you like to join me for breakfast?" Alfred was about to join me when dad walked in, a small smile gracing his lips, he looked tired and weak as he headed to the head of the table. I started to bounce my leg faster as I began shoving scrambled eggs into my mouth."Brianna,"My legs stopped bouncing,I looked like a chip monk my mouth full of food as I spoke."Yes,"
"Tonight i am hosting a fundraiser for Harvey Dent, Alfred will be there as well, I don't want you home alone so I want you to be accompany me to the party."
I nearly choked on my food, my mind working against me as it made a list of things that could possibly go wrong.
