"So what about my job at the hospital?" I inquire.
"I've thought about that, and I think that it would be a good idea if you quit your job and move with me in England. We are getting pretty serious. After all, we are going to start a family one day. You won't have to work then, as the job offers good pay, good enough for us to live in luxury. Gale, we are raising a family. What more could you need?" He squeezes my hand again. Hurt and disbelief rush through me.
"I haven't worked my butt off for seven years for nothing! How can you just expect me to just gather up my things and rush out after you? Yes, I want a family. I want kids of my own, but I'm still young. I have worked like a freaking dog this year, trying to pass my exams, I have had to get a bloody second job to pay of my student loan for goodness sake. I can't just up and leave all this! Quit my job, leave my family, I might as well chuck my degree in the dustbin,

The next morning, I woke up and moped around the house. I ate almost a whole carton of Ice cream, and called my bestfriend, Criza and Yohan, who are currently sitting next to me and watching Netflix together.They have brought me a huge teddy bear, which is taking up half the room. They are currently eating chocolate, popcorn and a whole hoard of coffee. They are both still in their Pajamas, as I am."You okay?" Yohan asks me."Kinda." I say and shrug."Your phone is ringing." Lisa buts in. I groan, and climb off the comfy couch, and scratch around for my phone. It's Aidan.I clear my throat and answer, trying to sound alive."Hello Aidan." My voice comes out all weird, and then I manage to get into a cough attack, and so my whole alive and normal thing didn't turn out very well."Are you okay?" H

Criza turns to me."Go and shower. I'm going to do the same." Criza grabs her backpack and heads to the guest bedroom. I stomp up the stairs and let the cold water run over my body. I soak my hair and get out the shower. I throw on a sunflower sun dress, and leave off shoes, then I tie my hair into a French plait.Finally, Criza comes into my room. She puts her hand on her hips."Right. Here's a bag, we are putting everything and anything that reminds you of Kevin in here. We won't throw it away, but we will kept it out of sight. That's the best way to get them out of your head." She hands me a bag and starts throwing all the gifts I got from Kevin over the two years. She takes the photos of the wall. Then she walks over to my jewelry box."No!" I shout. Criza stops in her track."Why? Come on Gale." I shake my head. I walk over and hold

"We are not going shopping!" I say, "Don't try to convince me otherwise!"Three hours later, I have a thousand bags, and honestly, I feel really bad, because Criza paid for everything, because supposedly I'm dirt poor. Which is pretty accurate. Being a student is hard.She even bought me two pairs of heels. I tried to tell her that I'm not going to wear them, ever, but hey, she didn't force me into too much else. Being a tomboy and having a best friend like Lisa is the worst possible combination ever."I think I need a change." I whisper."What do you mean?" Criza asks, holding up the bags of clothes."I think I need a bigger change. I just don't know what." I sigh. I don't need a change. Something other than just clothes."Why don't you cut your hair?" Criza suggests, and then turns to me "You would look really great with

The next morning, I curled my short hair, leaving it down. I smile at myself. It is new and I am happy. I think its suits my features. I throw on a navy blue shirt, white jeans, and put on my motorcycle boots. I put white sandals into my backpack and I pick up my helmet. I climb onto my bike, and quickly ride to the office. When I arrive, I hear a commotion within the office. I can hear Aidan's voice from in the reception. He is a whole story above it. He must have had a fight with his mother. When I exit the elevator, I find Aidan standing in his navy tuxedo yelling at a poor employee, who seems absolutely frantic."Good morning Mr. Jonhson." I say amused. He does not turn around, as he is glaring at the poor intern, who seems to be terrified of poor Mr. Jonhson. I roll my eyes."Morning, Gale." His eyes never leave the young man, who has a pile of papers in his arms, as he greets me."I told you

"Why, thank you." I say taking a mock bow."I want you to sit in this meeting. I have a lot of critics in the room- my father's goons. He has told them to be harsh and question everything I say. I need them to realise that this is serious and that I mean business. Having my personal assistant in there will help them realise that. My father is testing me." He ordere and I nod, following him into the boardroom. There is a very long glass table in the center of the fancy looking room. Around it, sits men fully suited in their tuxedos, and their stereotypical businessmen frowns.To my dismay, I am the only woman in the room. I squirm uncomfortably as I feel their judgemental stares rake over my body. I feel like I can smell money in here. Money and power. I suddenly feel a wave of sympathy for Aidan wash over me."Good morning Gentlemen." I swear Aidan's voice went a few tones deeper. It almost scared

I'm just on time, and I quickly make my way to the hall, and find my seat. The professor hands out the exam papers. I roll my hand around, to prepare it for the scribbling that I'm about to do."Alright everyone, you have 4 hours. You may hand in your paper as soon as you are done. Good luck."

My phone rings. It's an unknown caller. I pick it up."Hello. It's Gale speaking." I say."Gale Armstrong?" The voice asks."Yes.""I am very sorry for your loss ma'am. I don't know if you have heard, but your sister and brother in law were in an accident. They both died on impact." The phone drops out my hand.No. No. They can't be serious. They can't be serious. No. No."Miss Armstrong, are you still there?" The phone says on the floor. I feel a large lump form in my throat as I sink to the floor."Y- Yes." I squeak. Shock, disbelief and utter despair run across me. No. No. No. No. I curl into myself, leaving the phone on the floor."You are the godmother of Theo Marshall are you not?""I - I am."
