Journey

 I was sitting at my vanity table when I heard a knock on my door . 

 "Come in "I said assuming it was Emma .

 " Don't worry I'm already done dressing, you don't have to ..." I stopped talking when I turned to see... 

 " You look good " said Xavier 

 I was shocked to see him in my room , it might seem strange to some but although Xavier never talks to any of us I could tell he cared about us , well as much as he wanted to anyways . 

 "How can I help you Xavier brother " I said , rather formally . I wasn't used to being informal . 

 " I want to tell you something Ana " he said while sitting on my bed and gazing at the door . 

 " Be strong , you're an Anderson " he said , then stood up attempting to leave . Who gives someone those kind of words anymore . 

 " May I in turn ask you something brother " I said making him halt without turning around. 

 " How does one become an Anderson " I asked . 

 " To be strong , so strong you can defy anyone who tries to shackle you. No one can become an Anderson Ana ,you just are " he says and left . That was the longest he's ever spoken and I still don't understand what he meant . 

 I'm not even going to try I'm no longer staying here anyway . I'd still have the name though , the Anderson in you never dies ,father always says . 

 ****

 I'm sitting in the showroom of the store or shop , whatever . 

 " Are you ready to see your outfit huh. " Mother said a little excited . 

 " Here you go ma'am " said the lady coming out with a quite pretty but I don't care a dress is a dress 

 " Go try it on sweety " she said . Don't worry you didn't read that wrong , as I said The Anderson family is perfect so is our image . Everyone thinks we're the ideal family if only they knew 

 " Yes mum " I said smiling 

 Thirty minutes later we're done picking the dress and even the ring , Alexander couldn't come cause well he's Alexander 

I don't know much about him but I could tell he was a business no pleasure guy . 

 I'm in my room getting ready for bed , my life is so boring now that I can't go to the office anymore not like it wasn't boring in the first place so whatever . 

 Father told me that I'd be working with Alexander after we get married that's good I guess . 

 I was about to call it a night , when I heard the notification sound of my phone . 

 I wonder who that could be I only had business contacts who couldn't possibly text me around this time 

 I checked and saw it was an unknown number . 

the message read 

 ' I know I couldn't accompany you today , but I won't be absent on the D-day . ' 

 I knew immediately it was from Alexander, was that his way of apologizing. It is quiet humorous. 

 Don't worry Alexander , with hope and trust our ... journey will be tolerable .
