Walk a mile in my Trench coat!
Prologue.
[Alice]
I had had enough. I was sick and tired of it. I loved Him, I truly did, but he drove me insane! He was uncouth, he was filthy, he was a heathen…
He always tried to hold me, and kiss me, and I was sorely tempted but...if my mother had ever found out… What was a girl like me to do?
Our friends were coming over for the reunion for the gang's first god killing anniversary. Even Edward Plunkett was coming.
The night before they came, Yuri and I argued over the state of his clothes. Then when everybody came, we pretended as though everything was alright, but it wasn't, Yuri refused to speak to me and when he finally did it was because I was fighting with him over spilling tea on my bible. I wasn't really that mad, I was more upset, because that was the last thing my father gave me and there was poems I wrote about Yuri when we were looking for him in the blank pages.
"TRY WALKING A MILE IN MY TRENCHCOAT FOR ONCE! You don't understand me Alice, and you NEVER will until you see past the anal religious way of yours!"
I was wounded deeply by that so I slapped him, which he promptly stormed out and went up to brood on the roof.
I excused my self and went into my room to cry, what he had shouted had hurt me deeply and just before I went to sleep I heard him say, "I- I wish Alice could walk a mile in my trench coat. Just for a week! I wish she could see the world through my eyes and I wish I could see the world through hers…I just want her to love me…."
What he said made my heart hurt, he though I didn't love him? Why? I agreed with his wish…maybe then he'd see the pain in my soul too…I closed my sore eyes, and fell into a sleep….that's when it all began….
