Chapter 55 ~ The Letter

~ Ali's POV ~

I ran up to my room anger and sadness in my heart. I slammed the door as hard as I could and just slid down the door onto the floor.

The truth wasn't coming now. It wasn't ever coming...

That was the last thing I had of my parents... Everyone at the orphanage tore up all my pictures and burned them...

Ra Ra was my last thing and now he was gone.

I just cried into my hands. The paper was absolutely soaked...

It could fall apart so easily.

I decided to put it on my table and get one of my coloring books. I flapped the book up and down trying to dry it. I wasn't going to stop until it was completely dry.

~ 1 Hour later ~

I was still drying it. My arms were okay and the paper was definitely drying.

I then heard a knock at the door. I completely ignored it.

Alex poked his head around the door.

"Can I come in?" He softly asked.

"Depends." I said not giving him eye contact.

He came in and sat on the chair by my door.

"Ra Ra is almost dry." He said. I just sighed.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I'm sorry Ali, I didn't know what it was." He said.

"You should be." I said. He sighed.

"Why did you attack Braydon?" He asked. I was glad he changed the subject.

"I got angry." I said. I wasn't giving him eye contact.

"I never thought you would lash out like that though." He said. I did feel guilty.

"You would if someone was trying to take over your life." I said.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"He said he's your little. That you would dump me, and that people change and I will go to hell." I said.

He came a bit closer and I stood in front of the letter.

"Don't look." I said holding my hands out.

"I promise I wont." He said.

He crouched down, looking into my eyes.

"You are our little Ali. No one else. Just you.
I would never in my wildest dreams dump you. Ever in my whole entire life. Never ever. I would be the worst person in this universe to do that to you. You will not go to hell. Trust me on that one." He said holding my cold hands.

I flung my arms round him.

"You promise you mean all what you just said" I sniffed.

"I promise." He said rubbing my back.

"How about we go downstairs and watch something Christmassy." He smiled.

I pulled away rubbing my eyes. I nodded.

He then lifted me onto his hip and carried me out the room.

He took me downstairs where Braydon was asleep on Lloyd. He was resting his head in his hand.

"You tired?" He asked Lloyd. Lloyd nodded.

"I'll get you a coffee." I smiled. He put me in the floor and went to the kitchen.
