" How about we help each other?" He says and I look up at him, eyes still wet from the tears streaming down my cheeks, heart freshly broken from the public humiliation and betrayal that was Lucas's breakup. I can faintly make out the first droppings of snow floating magically under the light of the street lamps. It's that time of the year, a time for wool coats, a time for relaxing, none of which I'll be doing. "I'm an orphan with a wicked aunt and a boyfriend who left her because she has nothing to her name, how could I possibly help you?" I say another sob escaping my lips. "Marry me" he replies and my eyes widen in anger. Is he mocking me?. I look into the eyes of this stranger and see he's dead serious. "I need a wife, you need a home, marry me and you'll have all you want". I nod.

A Snowy Marriage (A Christmas agreement)

"The world outside isn't also a very nice place to be in too" i say and she quirks an eyebrow up at me.

"Trust me, it is infinitely better than this place".

Okay, I have to agree with her at this point, i have to agree with her because I don't think that there's anything that would be worse than this place and I feel like a trapped animal.

I feel like a trapped animal who doesn't have the space to breathe, and at just the thought of getting out of here, of getting out of here and going anywhere else is enough to make me almost cry.

"Where are we going to?" I ask her smiling from ear to ear.

"First of all, we'll go to the beach, and then we go to a restaurant, and we come back at night when everyone is asleep"

"We are sneaking out?" I say catching onto what she says and she nods at me, practically winking her eyes at me.

"We are sneaking out?" I say once more and she nods her head.

"Keep on shouting like that and we won't have the chance to sneak out, there practically people listening to you everywhere".

I shut up quickly at this because it is true. Considering the structure and the buildup of this place, there has to be some underdogs, people who are practically going to be reporting everything to the higher-ups, there will certainly be spies who are working for other people in this place and I'm guessing that leaking the plans of our escape is so cliche for me to do so early on into it, but yet I'm still surprised.

"We are truly going to sneak out" I say whispering to Alice.

"Is it even possible?" I ask and she nods her head once more.

"It is totally possible, it is one of the most possible things on the planet".

She says this and I'm practically laughing to myself.

"Seriously we are going to sneak out?" I ask again and she nods her head at me.

"Ask me that one more time and I'm pretty sure that I will run mad".

She says this muttering to herself and I smile to myself.

"Wake me up extra early tomorrow" I say and she nods smiling.

"Are you sure that Adrian would even allow me access you guys room?" she asks me and I shoot her a sly grin.

"Just knock on the door, I'll come open it up for you".

I don't know where Arden is, and I stilI don't know where the both of them are staying but I have no doubt it'll be fancy, it will be fancy and nice and clean and have each and every one of the fittings that Adrian's room has because they are practically hundreds of rooms like that in this place.

"Do you guys really live here all your lives?" I ask her and she shakes her head.

"As I said before, we have to go out, but yet it is mandatory that we always come back".

I don't know why this sounds sinister to me.
