Alec POV
It was so nice to hear her voice. It is what I needed.
I was going back in a few days, then I could put all of this behind me.
I would get my money and move back in with my flower and my family.
Everything sounded perfect.
No! Do not jinx it!
Just continue to focus on what you are already dealing with and get back to Flower.
I got in bed and just imagined feeling Flower on my chest. Whenever she was upset or das, she would sneak into my room and climb in bed.
It was comforting to me as well.
I guess I craved the feeling of someone next to me.
I guess I fell asleep overthinking about things. I woke up the next day feeling refreshed.
The first thing I do every morning is check my phone. I really do not know why I do it, but I do.
I noticed that I had a new message. It was from Flower.
I immediately opened it. When I did me swear my heart exploded.
It was a picture of her, with her hair all messed up and she was holding up a piece sign with a goofy smile.
She was perfect. I am so happy that she does not hate me.
I got up out of bed, so happy and excited.
I just a few things to do today and a few things to do tomorrow and I will come back and start packing and head back to my family.
I had to talk to a few more lawyers as they said my parents have been trying to weasel their way in.
I shook my head.
Can they just leave me alone? I took my phone out and called my attorney.
It rang a few times.
“Yes, I know what you are going to say. They have called me several times and I promise you they won’t receive a thing.” He said, I wanted to laugh out loud, but I held it in.
“Thank you. I appreciate everything you are doing for me. When should I be by for the check?” I asked. I wanted out of here. Its been such a long few months.
“You can come around eleven in the morning. I just have a few more papers for you to sign and then you are all set.” He said. I smiled to myself.
“Thanks, the sooner the better.” I say and hang up. I look around the apartment that I stayed in for the past few months and it looks cold.
It looks uninviting.
I pull out my suitcase and start to pack my clothes. I never got any dishes or furniture.
I did not want this to be a forever home.
A few hours went by, I finished packing everything. I was just scrolling through my f*******:. I have not updated this in months. I do not even have a profile picture.
I am too lazy to do anything right now. Just then my phone started ringing.
It was my Flower. I only let it ring once.
“Hello Flower.” I said. I could not keep the smile off my face. Just hearing her voice blew the anxiety away.
“Hello Sunshine. I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t dreaming when we talked.” She said. Her voice was distant. She had me on speaker.
“Nope, Its really me Flower.” I said. She giggled.
“I am excited to see you again.” I said.
“Really? Why?” She asked. When those words came out of her mouth it made me feel like she asked me what Planck’s Constant was.
“You mean a lot to me.” I said. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. The other line was silent.
Did I scare her?
Did she hate me now?
“Y-You mean a lot to me too. I’ve missed you.” She finally says.
“I leave tomorrow morning; I should reach you around two o’clock PM.” I said.
“Then will we have time to hang out?” She asked.
“Of course, we will Flower. What are you up to?” I asked. I really did not want to stop talking to her.
“I am finishing up the last bit of work before classes resume in about a week.” She says.
She was always real smart and caught on to a lot of things quickly.
“Will you be attending them too?” She asked.
“Yes, I’ve done all of mu work. Although we will not be in the same grade. I’ll still get to see you in-between classes and at lunch.” I say.
“…...Yea…. I was hoping I could see you more then that. I-Its been a bit rough and I feel bad because Ethan is always taking care of me….” She says. I can hear the sadness and a bit of panic in her voice.
“Its ok Flower… When I get there, I will try and make things better ok?” I said.
“Ok, Sunshine.” She said. I laughed.
“I have to go now; I will call you when I’m about to leave ok?” I said. I wanted to cry.
“Of course,… I will talk to you soon. Bye Sunshine.” She says and we hang up.
I fall backwards on my bed. I really wish that I were holding my Flower. I can feel my anxiety slowly creeping.
Like someone threw a whole bucket of ice-cold water on me.
I do not know how long I laid there but I could not do anything, I could not get my body to move.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow was the day that everything would be better, my life would be back on track.
I must get through tonight and early tomorrow.

This chapter is just a tad bit shorter than my other ones, but I really hope you like it! Let me know what you think!
I also wanted to say, as of right now Alec and Lily are just friends. They do not have romantic feeling for one another. Well they do not as of right now. I want there to be a bit more drama to happen.
