A/N Ok so this is my first The Good Wife fanfiction and only my third fanfiction generally. Please be supportive. Obviously I do not own anything.
The story is how imagine season 5 will begin.
It was almost midnight. Alicia was exhausted. She had been awake for over twenty four hours straight. And yet she couldn't sleep. Her mind was running in circles. From Peter to Will, from Will to Cary. She did it. She actually did. Severed all ties with Lockhart & Gardner. Severed all ties with Will. It was exactly how it was supposed to be. She was the first Lady of Illinois. She couldn't afford her attraction to her boss.
Peter called her, saying something about a speech and guests and some glamorous event. She told him she wasn't again, that she was too tired. She was too tired. She really couldn't face the press and the spotlight. Didn't have the strength to plaster that fake reserved smile on her face again.
She needed time. Time to grieve. Tonight she went nuclear. Tonight she lost Will. She was hoping he would understand. She was really hoping that again we would see her point of view. But would things ever be the same? After all she had never really trusted Kalinda fully again. Or Peter. It wasn't like she held any resentment or anger against them. But she had been hurt too deeply.
Peter was the father of her children. She knew him. Their relationship was easy, familiar. And he had truly changed. But then again so had she. She wasn't Alicia Florrick -The good wife anymore. She was a strong woman, who could face many difficulties. She would get through this. She would make this marriage work, no matter what the cost is.
So this is my idea of Alicia thoughts that night. Next chapter she tells Will. Please review. The more reviews I get, the happier I will be. The happier I am, the faster I will update.
