Chapter 7

Sunrise Avenue – Fairytale gone bad

Alice and Lara stood there not knowing what to say. „So you two are now having fun with each other?“ Gabby said smirking. „Why are you here Gabby? What do you want?“ Alice finally said a bit louder than it was supposed to be. „Oh how nice you are to an old friend, Alice. Well, without further a do I am going to tell you what I want. Inside.“ Lara looked confused at her, and Alice tried to push Gabby away who tried to get into Alice´s appartment. „Gabby go away. „Okay, as you wish I´ll leave. For now.“ Gabby said and turned around and left. Alice and Lara were once again confused by their mutual ex girlfriend.

A few hours later Alice sat in THE PLANET drinking a coffee. When she looked up she was suprised to see someone sitting at her table. It was Gabby. „What do you want now?“ Alice asked annoyed. „Nothing special. How about talking to you? Come on Alice, I am not that evil.“ Alice laughed „Yeah right. And Rosie O´Donnell doesn´t look like Hagrid from Harry Potter. Gabby, please. Say what you want to say and then leave.“ Gabby sighed and looked at Alice „Alice, I am sorry what I did to you. It was wrong. Please come with me and I´ll explain it to you. Show you why I am like I am. Honestly I´ve changed. I am now working in a school. It really fills me. Before doing that I was such a bitch.“ Alice looked at Gabby, still trying to decide wether to believe her or not. Gabby took Alice´s hand and stroked it. „Alice, please. Just come with me. You won t regret it.“ Alice sighed heavily. „Okay, Gabby, I´ll come with you. Just don´t play games with me. And remember I am with Lara now. I love her.“ Gabby smiled and led her out of the PLANET.

At the same time Lara was still busy in the kitchen of THE PLANET with the daily preperations for the lunch. „Jesusdoddamnitbloodyfuckingchrist!!!“ Lara muttered while chopping the various vegetables. „Kiddo wat?“ Kit asked confused. „Nothing nothing GOD DAMN IT FUCK THAT SLUT GABBY!!!!!“ Lara suddenly bursted out screaming which caused Kit to fall backwards into the pans, which crashed with a loud bang on the floor. „Lara? Are you really okay? Gabby? Your ex? What did she do now?“ Kit asked worried. „Standing in front of Alice´s door? Trying to take her away? I don´t know, the usual Gabby stuff?“ Lara said sighing heavily while sitting down next to Kit. „Kit, what if something happens?“ „Lara….“ „I won´t be able to keep her with me. Gabby will take her away from me. „ „LARA!!!!! SHUT UP!“ Kit said loud enough to wake up Lara out of her rambling trance. „Lara, nothing will happen because Alice loves you.“ Lara looked sceptical at Kit. „I am not afraid of Alice not loving me. I am afraid of her leaving me.“

Meanwhile Alice and Gabby reached an old building somewhere in LA. „So what is this all about Gabby?“ Alice asked annoyed. „Patience, Alice, patience. Not your best quality is it?“ Gabby asked smiling mischieovsly. „Better than being an emotional cripple, Gab.“ Alice retorted smirking. „Would you please follow me oh high queen of retorting?“ Gabby asked and shoved Alice into the building. It was an old warehouse that was empty since Nixon was president. Everywhere were kid´s toys and stuffed animals. „What the…Gabby? What the hell is goind on here? You got a new fetish or what?“ Alice looked around confused. Suddenly a little boy followed by a woman came running towards Gabby. „GRUMPY!!!!!“ he screamed excitedly and was lift up by Gabby and cuddled. Alice stood there in both amazement and shock. „Gabby where have you been? Our little one here missed you.“ she said not even noticing Alice standing there. Gabby looked at Alice „Everything okay Al?“ Alice looked at Gabby confused. „You turned into Mother Theresa or what, Gabby???“ „Jason pumpkin, go with mama to the park and play there a bit more okay? We play later.“Jason followed his mother mouthing something „Tis unfair, mummy Gab never there!“

After the boy and his mother had left Gabby and Alice sat down on the couch. Alice breathed in and out to focus. „Gabb–“ Alcie was interrupted by a sudden kiss from Gabby which Alice didn´t stop. Alice knew the next step she was about to do was bad and would hurt Lara.

Meanwhile at the PLANET Lara was chopping vegetables smiling. Kit looked at her confused. „Lara? Are you pregnant?“ Lara let the knife fall down onto the floor because she was shocked about the question“Kit…no..no….NO!!“ Kit started to laugh. „What?“ asked Lara confused „You seem to have moodswings that´s all, earlier today you were worried Alice could do something foolish and now you are….glowing and smiling all over your face.“ Lara smiled „I just- just- you know, realized that Alice would never cheat on me. Not even with Gabby. She loves me. Me.“
