Life Goes On - part 1

Archie Lover
As Lexie climbed into bed, she looked at the photo of Archie beside her. He
looked happy....like he loved living here. 'He has changed so much' thought
Lexie. All the memories of him proposing, marrying her, and leaving came
flooding back as she cried herself to sleep once again. Lexie had been so
upset, so run down since he left her to go to Nepal. She hated the thought of
not having his warm touch next to her, but she had to live with it now.
Next morning Molly had came to wake Lexie up. "Lexie dear, are you
awake?" she asked. Lexie looked up, rubbed her eyes then lay back down.
"Uuuh yeah" Lexie said sleepily. "Well we have to go soon and
pick up the present for Jess" said Molly giving Lexie a little nudge on
the shoulder. "I'll be 15mins at the most" Lexie said smiling and
rising from bed. "Ok dear, I'll make you a cup of tea" Molly said
leaving. The clock read 11:24am and as she glanced over, she realised that she
couldn't keep sleeping in till this time. She looked in the mirror at herself.
"I can't do this to myself, Archie is gone and I have to accept that"
she said to herself. "Just buck up your ideas girl". She got up and
continued to get ready.
An hour later, Lexie appeared downstairs. "Wow morning Lex, you look
great" said Duncan. "I feel great Dunc!" she said smiling and
reaching for some toast. "Ah why don't you wait, we'll be having lunch
soon" Paul said as he came in the room. "Uh yeah but me and Molly
have to nip out and get something, so I'll just have something when I get
back" Lexie answered. "Ok, where are you going?" asked Paul.
"Just into Glenbogle, I want to post some letters" said Lexie trying
to make it sound as convincing as possible. No-one knew about Molly and Lexie's
surprise for Jess.....but little did they know Duncan also had something rather
special planned. "Anyway I need to go now, see ya both later" Lexie
said waving and leaving the kitchen. She walked down the hall...."Molly,
Molly are you there. We have to go" she shouted. "Uuuhh...yes....yes
dear, just give....me 2 ...seconds" said Molly. "Molly whats
up?" asked Lexie. But no-one answered. All of a sudden Molly fell out of a
cupboard. Lexie turned around and ran to over to Molly. "Molly are you
alright, what happened?" she asked. "Oh im fine, I was just looking
in here and I found some old letters and cards and I just let my foot
slip" she said as Lexie helped her up. "Here, take a look at these
dear" Molly said handing a box over to Lexie. "We have to go Molly,
can't I take a look later?" she asked. "OH yes, Jess's present"
said Molly grabbing the box from Lexie and chucking in the cupboard. "Lets
get a move on" Molly said taking Lexie's hand.
They jumped into the landrover and Lexie started the engine. "Right"
said Lexie. "Lets go". She smiled at Molly and started to drive down
the path away from Glenbogle house. They both looked at one another. "Do
you see what I see?" asked Molly. "Yeah, who is it?" asked a curious
Lexie. As they got closer they both realised who it was. Lexie stopped the car
and got out. The woman approached her. "Hello Lexie" she said. Lexie
couldn't speak she was in shock. "What the heck are you doing here"
she asked......
