Chương 35: The Clock Don't Stop

Alaia's POV

Nick did not come to bed either that night. I suppose he is sleeping in the other room, it doesnt matter i guess.

I had Rita and my sister help me pack a few things for the trip and everyone is genuinely excited to be travelling.

I have never travelled out of the country before, or even been on a plane. Same with Mum and Zara, so its pretty exciting to be able to do this together.

If this surgery works out, i can't even begin to comprehend how wonderful that will be for me. Being able to see my family, even for a second would mean the world to me.

I wonder too what i look like. I must admit, am nervous to see what Nick sees when he looks at me. No matter how hard I try, my thoughts come right back to Nick. I know i asked him to leave me alone, but it just feels so much worse when he is actually doing it.

Trying not to overthink the surgery i lay in bed and try to fall asleep. Its gonna be a long night.
