Alice woke up a few minutes after Lara left. She stirred and looked at her hand, at the letter and recognized the handwriting. It was Lara´s. She opened the envolope and started to read the letter.

Dear Alice,

when you read this letter I will be gone. Forever. There is nothing that could keep me here in LA. I have a job offer in New York. I think it´s the best if I stay there. Alice, I have never been hurt more in my entire life. Noone ever did such an awful thing to me like you did. I love you, I truly do, but I can´t be with a peson who lands in bed with the most notorious person after Shane. Why gabby out of all people? Just because you´re friends with Shane and don´t fuck her? Well, news flash. You had me. I love you, yoiu broke my heart and  made me look like the biggest fool on earth. Is this what you want? Why did we never talk about what we feel? Why you never told me what you feel for me? I mean truly feel. Not that immature „I love you“ babbling. I can´t stop loving you, but I must. You´ve made that decision not me. I could say good bye but that would not feel right. Not for me. I could pretend everything is okay. But why should I? Because you showed me how much you care? I doubt I exists for you. I doubt I exists. Why do those things always happen to me? Why? Why do the people I love most always hurt me and leave me? Why am I the one who is crying? Why am I always the loser in these things? Even my own family did that in Chicago to me. Why Alice why did you do that to me?

Lara

Alice reread the letter and was still stunend by the mere power of those words in the letter. Lara was urt by her family like that? How? What happened? Alice had to find out, but first she needed to know where they lived. So she did go to Kit´s apaprtment and asked Kit for the information she needed. She told her what happened. Kit was really angry at Alice, but gave her the adress of Lara´s parents. Alice didn´t want to know why she had it. She guessed in case if something happened to Lara. After that she did got to her apaprtment and packed some stuff and left for Chicago. She took the first flight and took the last seat. Which was first class and would leave Alice broke for the rest of the year. But she didn´t care at all. She just needed answers. Again she drived off into memories of Lara.
