My life is my own (chapter 7)
By: Amee Eliza
Tom Lennox was put into his own personal quarters. The bed felt like a hospital bed and it was patternless and stale white. The room's walls were painted sky blue. On the wall there was a picture but there was picture but words: "My heart will go on."
Tom Lennox thought about these words then applied them to himself, in which way had his heart simply gone on though pain tormented it? His family hardly ever spoke to him, he had been through abuse and threatening, his life had almost been taken (if it hadn't been for Reed's faith in his conformity he would have), and he had lost his sweetheart ten years ago.
"Oh Lord." He said aloud. He felt pain in seeing her again.
"But what of the plan? Surely they are not working alone. This plan must be well thought out and taken out. But what I don't understand is how does Kate come in all of this?"
He remembered the first time he had met the radiant beauty at a breakfast meeting concerning the upcoming campaigning of Wayne Palmer (David Palmer's brother).
Flashback (2 years ago)
"So, Mr. Lennox, I know you don't know me, but I'm Kate Warner." Flashes a smile.
"Sit down Miss Warner." Tom urged.
"What brings you here Kate?" Tom asked.
"I got invited in my father's stead, he is ill." Her eyes looked as if a dark shadow came in.
"Look Tom, my sister took a wrong path and my father is very sad. We didn't know, everything went wrong. Now my father's business is in serious chance of ending." Kate confided.
Tom was happy she confided in him, so he gave her encouragement.
They both ate their breakfast side by side listening to the strategies of winning the white house.
Kate whispered at the end (because she dared not get reproach for speaking during the session) "Tom are you really going to run for a position in Chief of staff?"
Tom said confidently "Why, yes I am. Mr. Palmer need's my support and guidance. I urged him to carry out in his brother's footsteps."
"Yes, David would be so proud of him."

Tom got under the covers and knew tomorrow would be a day he would dread.
