Chapter 48: "Welcoming" The Visit

"Now what brings you here? Of all people you're almost the last one I'd expect to see. There's just one above you."

"I had the feeling that other someone was Graham but I must be wrong.."

"No, not Graham. I know him, he's predictable.. Poor Alice, you still don't know your man quite well as I do."

"Well what difference does it make really when he wants me not you. Plus you're here, desperate, rotting in a jail cell. How does it feel?"

"Ooh, fierce! And I didn't think you had it in you until you thought you had to call to let me know you were getting Graham for life. Let me tell you something Missy. You don't have him, you never had him and never will. He doesn't even know it but his heart belongs to someone else. Someone he can't have. I know him by heart, Alice, always will."

Alice looked at Victoria with pity...

"You are dillusional. You will probably avoid jail if you plead insanity and that wouldn't even be a trick. Think you know Graham so well huh? Or is it because you just saw him a moment ago and you think I don't know? Oh but I do Victoria, I do know he was here."

"Why did you come here, Alice? Really? Don't avoid my question again."

"I just needed to know. Hear it from you; why?"

"Haha, you know that it could hurt my defence if I tell you anything...but I'm in a mood to be nice today."

"Really? Could've fooled me!"

"Funny. I was there and did what I did because you called me. On some unconcious level that is what you were looking for."

"No I was not!"

"You don't know yourself very well Alice. You were always the invisible one and finally you weren't. You had won over a girl like me. You... The world had to know, it had to be big; if not what would be the point of it all? So you called me, you needed me there, you wanted me there where everyone could see who was on top.

You were expecting a scene just not of that magnitude. I admit it, I lost it. But you needed me there so in the end I kinda did it for you. To make you feel relevant, alive, like you matter. Admit it to yourself you're no better than me and I actually admire you for that. You're not as stupid as I thought and not a goody two shoes either."

"Good luck, Victoria! Nothing good will ever come out of your life at the rate you're going."

Alice waived at the guard she was ready to leave.  She left without looking back.
