Chương 17: Where can I find her?
Liam's pov:
****
Little Alice goes running to Liam's house.
There he was, playing games alone.
"Liam! Come! Mom made food, and she asked you to come over," says Little Alice.
"No, I don't want to come," says Liam.
Little Alice pouts and begs Liam to come.
After she notices that he wasn't focusing on her, she grabs his hand and runs towards her house.
"Just come eat with us. I promise I won't be annoying," says Little Alice.
Sighing, Liam just goes with her because he knew if he didn't, she would annoy him the whole day.
"Hey, Liam. You came. I made your favourite food for dinner because Alice was bugging me to do so," says Alice's mother.
How did you know what my favourite food is? asks Liam.
I heard you ask your mother to make that for you, says Alice to him.
"Come wash your hands and sit on the table. You guys can talk all you want over food," says Alice's mother smiling.
They both run to the sink and wash their hands.
Hmmm, auntie, It smells good, and he digs in like he didn't eat food for days.
"Liam, calm down. The food is not running away," says Alice's father while laughing awkwardly.
Elizabeth slaps Jonathan.
"Don't tease him," she says.
"Liam, didn't you eat lunch?"
He stops like he was hurt.
He looks down at the table and answers her.
No, my parents went to work early, and the maid didn't make anything.
Alice looks at him, and she sees that he was crying.
She puts her spoon down and goes over to him.
"Liam, are you okay?"
I am alright. He answers Alice while slightly pushing her away.
"Well, Liam. You can always come here and eat. You are always welcome," says Alice's mother while smiling at him.
Thank you, auntie. Sorry for the trouble.
"Don't say that. We are more than happy to have you here. Even Alice is more cheery whenever you are around," says Elizabeth.
"Yes, You have to come or else I will just get you by force," and upon hearing this, they all laugh.
*******
The light of the sun hit my pair face what made me turn to the other side. I ignored it and wanted to go back to my dream.
Shit! Why can't I go back? Why do I always have to wake whenever my dream is so good?
I tried to sleep further but couldn't anymore.
Grunting, Liam stands up and goes to freshen up.
When he came out of the bathroom, his phone rings and knowing the only person that would call him so early in the morning, he picks up.
"Yo, man. What is up?" says Oliver.
What is the reason that you are calling me at 7 in the morning?
"I missed you to bro," he says jokily.
What is his problem?
If you don't talk, I will hang up. I warned him annoyingly.
"Bro, calm down. I was just joking. Why are you so annoyed in the morning?"
I had a dream about Alice before I got disrupted.
"You still dream about her?"
Yeah, not like I can forget her. She is the only good memory I got.
"Man, what if she moved on with her life? Uh? What if she doesn't remember you anymore? Are you going to wait for her your whole life?"
I know what you mean, but I am not going to give up. I promised Alice soo I will be responsible.
"Man, why don't you find yourself someone else? What about the girl from the hospital? It looked like you guys clicked. Uhhh," he says in a teasing way.
No way, man. She was too annoying, and somehow she smelt like Alice.
I don't know, she.. reminded me of her.
Oh, I just remembered. I saw her when we went to the art university. Do you remember?
"How can I forget that day? It was hectic!"
Yeah, it was, but anyway, My dads assistant called me and then I lost her.
After we finished, I searched for her, but I couldn't find her.
"Really, man? We can go to the University and ask around if someone knows her."
Oh, I didn't think about that.
Let's do that today.
"No problem. Just give me a call when you are ready," and Oliver hangs up.
I got mood swings at the fact that I will be seeing my dear Alice.
Omg, I have so many things to tell her. Will she remember or recognise me? She will, right? I mean, how can she forget me?
We were literally childhood best friends.
NO NO! What am I thinking? I shake my head in disbelieve.
Hold your act together, Liam.
First, I need to take a cold shower then eat my breakfast.
"Good morning, Liam, greeted Elona, the housemaid but she was more than that for me. She was like a mother.
Morning too. I greet her walking to the dining table.
"Did you have a peaceful sleep last night?" Asked Elona. She knows that I have a problem with my sleep.
I couldn't ask for more Alona. I say to her.
Her smile comes brighter than before.
"I am pleased to hear that. You know you can tell me when you are not sleeping good right?" She says worriedly.
Don't worry. You will be the first one to know. I give her a reassuring smile.
Now shall we? I am starving.
"My pardon. Yes, but first, let me get your newspaper." Alona runs back into the living room and comes back holding the newspaper.
Thank you. I love Elona as my dear mother. She is in her fifties and takes care of me as her own child. She never complains about anything and does things for me before I tell her like she can read my mind.
As always, we eat breakfast and dinner together. Also, Elona sometimes tells me how she is doing or asks me how I am doing in life, even though she knows when I am upset or when I am having a hard time.
Alona is always there for me, unlike my own father.
I am heading out, Alona.
"Oh, okay. Make sure you eat your lunch. You have become thinner than before. Promise me?"
I promise you, I tell her. Giving a kiss on her forehead, then I waved at her before leaving.
It was already mid-afternoon when I came to the University. Because I headed to the company first, now I am here waiting for Oliver.
Where is that kid? I looked around for him, but I couldn't find him.
Don't tell me he is flirting with some girls again?
Before I could call him, he was already standing in front of me.
What took you so long? I ask him lifting my eyebrow.
"Awe, you missed me, huh?" He starts laughing annoyingly.
Stop pissing me off. I might kill you today.
"Bro, relax. I was just joking. He slaps me on my back.
You should price me today, not roaster me."
Why should I? I am confused now.
What are you talking about?
"Because your dear friend," he wises at himself while I roll my eyes.
"did all the work you were supposed to do."
What work? I am still confused.
"No, No. That is not how it works. First, tell me what do I get in return, huh?"
You know what, I change my mind.
Come here! I want to kill you now.
"Awe, I love you too, bro!!" He fucking screams in front of everyone and tries to kiss me. I mean, what is wrong with him. Is he on drugs or something? Everyone started looking in our direction.
WHAT!!... This is so embarrassing. Get out of my way, you psycho. I push him.
He burst into a laugh like a maniac.
What the hell is wrong with him?
"Okay, I will tell you, just give me a minute." I star at him for a while, waiting for an answer, then he starts to speak finally.
"In short, I have been looking if Alice was here and asked around where I could find her. Guess what, she didn't come to the uni for like a month. So I didn't stop looking for her until I knew why Alice wasn't coming anymore.
Again asked her close friends why she wasn't coming anymore, like if she had a problem, and to my surprise, they said her father was sick for a while. I asked what happened, and they told me he got into an accident, and now he is gone forever. Wasn't it short? Man, let me take a breath." It was too much info for me to take it all in my head.
Wait, what! What do you mean her father got into an accident and is now gone?
"Sorry, that is everything I can tell you. You know it was hard to get all this information? You should be happy I could find this out."
Happy my ass. What's there to be happy about? Uh?
The one I love is having a hard time, and now she lost her father.
Tell me, what is there to be happy about then? I was angry at the fact that he was acting like a child.
"Sorry, Bro. I didn't mean it like that."
Whatever. That is not the main point.
Where is she now? I ask, looking concerned.
"NO one knows that. Everyone lost contact with Alice, but someone said she is staying with a friend."
Friend? Who is that friend?
"I wish I could tell you more. That is all I got, bro," He shook his head.
Again, I lost her. Where in the world should I look for her?
