control – freak. Things always have to go his way
and he always has an opinion about everything. Rachel, Sophie’s mom is no
better. She is the typical step-ford wife, apron and all. She aims to please and
strives to have the image of a perfect life the perfect house, marriage and off
course the perfect daughter. Sophie doesn’t have the same lifestyle as all the
other girls I know. Simon and Rachel have standards of what is and isn’t
acceptable behaviour and if Sophie ever broke any of their rules, then look out.
I hate to think of how they will react to the news that their precious daughter
is pregnant out of wedlock. I just hope that they act how loving parents would
and not as social pillars.
    I slowly climb out of bed as I make my way into the bathroom. I run the shower
and then I jump in. The hot water wakes me as I prepare for the day ahead. My
mind starts to buzz about all of the things that I have to do today. No doubt my
mom will have many things that I need to approve and I have that looming
meeting with Michael. My heart gently races as I think of it. I try to shake off
my anxiety as I quickly wash my hair. I close my eyes and then I am instantly
reminded that I need to talk to Alice. With that thought, I quickly rinse off the
excess soap from my hair and body and I shut off the water. I carefully step out
of the shower and into the large, marble bathroom. I pat myself dry and then I
make my way back into the oversized bedroom. I rummage in my closet until I
find my outfit. I throw on my dark blue jeans and cashmere red sweater. I
quickly blow dry my hair and gently apply some lip balm. I walk over to my bed
and I lift my phone from my pillow. I gently exhale as I scan my contacts until I
come to Alice. I slip on my Jimmy Choos that lay on the floor next to my bed as
I pick up the courage to hit send. I wait patientlyas the phone rings and I jump
a little when I hear Alice’s voice.
    “ Alanna is that you?” I hear her say in quiet voice. I open my mouth, but words
do not come out. I try to compose myself as Alice asks again.
“ Alanna my dear is that you?” I open my mouth again and this time I manage
to force out my words.
“Hello Alice,”
    “Oh Alanna it is so nice to hear your voice again. How have to been? Is
everything… okay?” Instantly I feel sorry for Alice as I hear the sadness in her
voice.
“I have been good and yes everything is fine. Alice, how have you been since
the last time that we spoke?”
“I have been up and down since then.” Alice’s words take my breath away,
whatever does she mean? Is she drinking again?
     
“Do you want to talk about it?”
    “Alanna, I know what you must be thinking, but I can assure you that I am not
drinking again. The truth is I have felt mentally drained since that night that I
saw Adrian. I feel terrible about how he reacted to me and what hurts me the
most is that, I deserved everything that he said. I deserved to be thrown from
his life in the way that I was.”
    “Alice I am sorry that you feel that way, but I have some good news!” Alice is
silent and her reaction is alerting me that she is eager to know about my news.
Therefore I don’t keep her in suspense any longer. “Adrian and I are getting
married.” Alice bursts into laughter and then I hear gentle splutters from her
tears. I - myself have to hold in my own tears as I need to pull myself together
and get my point across. “Alice, Adrian has had several sessions with a
therapist and I feel that he is slowly moving on from his past.”
    “May I ask when the wedding is?” I again feel for Alice as her words choke out.
I wish that I could invite her to our wedding but I know that wouldn’t be the
best solution.
“The wedding is in five days,”
“I see, well I wish you all the happiness in the world.”
“Wait, Alice, I am not done yet.” Alice instantly backs off as she awaits my next
words. “Adrian wants to see you.”
     
“Really?” “Yes, he told me to call
