Chapter 9

Kim - no way, girlfriend promise you will always take care of Tom? That you won't let any other woman make him suffer again

Alice - promise

Kim - promise Alice!

Alice - OK, I promise, you know that I really like Tom, that he is a brother to me, always taking care of me and defending me, especially from my father.

Kim - You know girlfriend I was thinking about something Mike said, that you and Tom could be together.

Alice - Are you out of your mind? Are you throwing the man you love at me?

Kim: Of course not girlfriend, but I can never be with him, our love is impossible, you love each other so much, one always supporting the other. I don't see why you can't be together. Friendship can turn into love. At least I know that one would make the other happy.

Alice - are you listening to yourself? I just said that Tom is a brother to me and he is pushing me towards him

Kim - Oh girlfriend, that's not it, I'm just. Oh I don't know what I'm talking about. I can't take all this anymore. But I swear I wouldn't be upset if you stayed with him. Girlfriend, you're coming to my wedding, right? I know you're against it, but I need you, I don't know if I can handle it all alone, I need your support.

Alice - Will your fiancé allow it?

Kim - Of course he will, he won't miss the opportunity to throw it in your and Tom's face that he won?

Alice - ok, I will be there girlfriend. In the good times and in the bad times that is what friends do, isn't it?

Kim - thank you, I don't know what my life will be without you. The wedding will be the last time we will see each other. I'm going to miss you so, so much. Everything was supposed to be different. I was going to marry Tom and you were going to be our godmother and the baby's too, you would be a wonderful aunt and Tom would be the best father in the world. But that monster took everything away from me.

Alice - don't talk like that, no matter where you are my heart will always be with you, I'll always be the best aunt in the world, you'll tell him about me, won't you? And when you manage to find a way to send news. You can't be nervous, it's bad for my nephew or niece. Hey what do you think it is?

Kim: I don't know.

Alice - I think it's a boy and it will be Tom's face. Mike can take everything from you, but this baby will always be the fruit of your love and this baby will be his father's face so that he doesn't forget that he can have everything but your love and when he looks at his son he will remember who is the owner of his heart.

Kim - Now I want a boy, with Tom's eyes

Alice: Have you thought about names?

Kim - I'd like it to be like his father's, but Mike will never allow it so I guess it will be Clark

Alice - Like Superman?

Kim - Yes, Tom's favorite character, remember that costume party where he went as Superman?

Alice - how to forget, good times. I'll miss you Kim. - both hugging each other - well let's get out of this bathroom before your security guard comes in here and takes you by force.

The two get ready, wash their faces and leave the bathroom, the security guard is already waiting for her to leave, but what she didn't expect was Mike at the entrance of the school

Mike - my love, what took you so long?

Alice - rolling her eyes - he was just in the bathroom, not feeling well.

Mike - I'm talking to my nosy little redheaded fiancée, are you feeling better my love? - taking her hands in his-

Kim - just nauseous and a little tired, can we go home ?

Mike - Of course - kisses her forehead and helps her into the car - Oh before I forget, hey little redhead, this is your invitation if you can hand over Tom's, I've reserved the best seats for you.

Alice - ironic - would not miss this special moment for my friend for anything. Goodbye to the couple and many happy returns.

Mike: Give my best to Tom.

The next day Kim managed to enter the letter for Alice as agreed. Alice left early as soon as the exam was over, as she was not feeling very well. She had been nauseous and vomiting for days. She no longer had any strength, she felt very sleepy and weak.

She thought it was something she had eaten or because of the stress, as if the pressure of the vestibulars wasn't enough, she still had all these problems with her best friends.

Alice thought for sure that it must be a nervous gastritis.

Alice slept the whole day, when she woke up she sent a message to Tom, as soon as they got home to tell him that she would come to his house, they needed to talk.

Alice got up and took a long, hot shower, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one home to pick on her for her delay. She put on a light dress and went to the kitchen to try to eat something, but nothing came down so she made some tea. From the kitchen window she could see Tom coming, so she decided not to wait for him to answer, grabbed her purse where was the letter that Kim wrote, sent a message to her mother telling her that she would be at Tom's house and went there

Knocking on the door
