Chapter 7 A new beginning
Alicia drove to Smallville in her car. It had been so long since she had been to Smallville. She smiled as she saw the welcome sign greeting her. Clark had written back to her inviting her to stay on the farm a few days and him and some of his friends were throwing her a Welcome home party. Alicia could feel this was a new beginning for her, and she was planning on not ruining it.
It didn't take her long to arrive at the Kent Farm. Clark, Lucy, Kara, Mrs K, and Chloe, and Lana was there and some other girl she didn't recognize, Lois Lane? Alicia met her briefly one time, and Lois hadn't exactly been friendly to her either. But maybe this time would be different. Maybe Alicia could make it right with all of them.
Alicia stepped out of the car and greeted everyone. She had her hair done , and was wearing a cream colored suit. She had just gotten off of work to drive up here to see her friends. And she hoped she looked professional. Everyone clapped and greeted her as she walked towards them reluctant at first. "Hi Everyone", she hugged Clark and his little girl. Then they went inside. Party food and drinks were everywhere, and Alicia appreciated the trouble they went through to welcome her.
They sat around and ate and talked. Alicia told them about her therapy session she went to for a few months. Then she told them about her new boyfriend, and new job. Everyone was impressed with how Alicia was taking on a new life.
While she was there, Alicia gave out gifts to everyone. When she came to Lana, she handed her the gift to her "Lana, I am once again so sorry I tried to kill you. I wasn't well back then, I want you to find it in your heart to forgive me and to give me a chance to be your friend. I won't mess things up".
Lana opened the gift. Inside the box was a beautiful friendship bracelet that Alicia made especially for her and a matching necklace. "It's beautiful Alicia. I do forgive you. You weren't yourself".
Alicia smiled "I wish I could go back and erase what I did to you guys. But, Unfortunately, I can't do that. All I can do is try to make things right, and hope others will forgive, and focus on the future".
Chloe looked at Alicia "Your doing a great thing Alicia don't ever forget that. The fact your here to make mends, is good enough for us. As for us, we should have took the time to get to know you more, besides just brushing you off and assuming the worst".
Lois sat next to Chloe and looked at Alicia "Chloe is right. We're just hoping you'd give us the chance to be your friends".
Alicia smiled glad that everyone was learning to accept her. "You guys are so great to me. I think we all deserve another chance to be friends with one another.".
"I second to that", said Clark "To Friendship", he held up his glass and the others did the same including Lucy.
"To Friendship", everyone said and clinked Glasses.
The End!
