Alice living in a construction site unbelievable this place is really risky and not a place of residence

How in heavens name did she discover a place like this my goodness and the workers are really working on the site

Alice….. Alice….Alice….

Is that not Fred I hear why would he come out here or is he trying to get me caught I have no where else to go to

Will you stop shouting my name do you want them to send me out of here

Come here …..

What are you looking for here and how did you find me

I followed you down here last night. My goodness you living in a construction site like how

If you’re here to mock me you can as well leave and never return

Me mock you??? How? You know me better than that I just didn’t think of a construction site

What do you mean?

Look Alice I….

What?

I think you should get your stuffs out of here because these workers are fast approaching and you know they would clear out everything on there way

And probably take you back to the orphanage except you have plans going back there

No way Fred not in my watch…. And who are you to tell me what to do in the first place

Look am just saying… you know what I have an idea. Why don’t you move in with me

What!!!! No way! You? never Fred

Look it is not much in my place but I am willing to share my space with you except you want to be crushed here by those cranes

What about your owners won’t they ask questions is not that you have a better answer to give!

My owner died and I was kicked out but that doesn’t matter now am 18 years and I have my own place I don’t mind sharing

Am so sorry to hear about your owner passing away. How did you get money to rent your own place?

Look it is a long story and I would let you in on all you need to know when we get to my place Alice.

If someone would have said one day Fred would come to my rescue I wouldn’t believe it

Alice look you will be fine and this place would turn to a beautiful site in the coming years but for now you need to look out for yourself

I know it is just that I have a lot of memories here that’s why but I will be fine….

Good bye hide out be really beautiful when I get back here in the coming years and don’t forget me

Heyyy what are you kids doing here…. You shouldn’t be here….

Alice run….

Haha honestly I never believed for a day I would be chased out

I told you Alice

Thank you Fred… so where’s this place at

You wait and see you will like it I know it is not much but you will like it

Okay so long as it is not a construction site

Haha

This is the block I stay at the last floor

You live here how did you afford this place and don’t tell me it is from pizza delivery

Alice slow down I will tell you all about it let us go up first

You sure have a lot to say….

Welcome to my apartment it is quiet empty but it is better than the construction site

Whoa far better Freddy

Wait did you just call me Freddy

Oh sorry I mean Fred

No it is fine no one has called me Freddy in years and I think I like it…. Come let me show you something

Okay….

This is my favorite place

Oh my goodness you get to see the entire city

Yes! The best part is at night you would love it

It feels so peaceful

Yes it is… and I guess you must be hungry

I am starving

Would you like som slice of pizza

Yes please! Yes I would

Than you’re in luck, I was saved some from yesterday

I haven’t had pizza before

Wait what? I thought everyone has had a slice of pizza at some point in there life before

Hmm not me then

Then am glad you’re sharing your first time eating pizza with me and I just home you like it just have a bite

Okay…. This is really pizza?

Yes! You like it?

Like it I love it give me more

Haha take it easy Alice

No way it is so delicious this is now my best food

Why did you leave the orphanage or did anyone come to adopt you from the orphanage?

Fred things became really tough and Margret couldn’t handle us anymore she said we are too grown for her to handle, so we got neglected

It was just Steve, Lora and I where the grown up and more and more kids it was just too much so she let us go

She did that?

Yes! We all too different paths, Lora went in search of her favorite music star

And Steve?

He said he will go where the winds take him to and I was all alone and then I got lost I didn’t know my way again that’s how I ended up at the construction site

Whoa that’s a lot I just hope life is treating them well where ever they are now and they find whatever they are looking for

Yeah I hope so because they were so determined

Alice they will be fine and that’s all in the past now so what are we going to do today but wait a minute no work

Am not going back there anymore

Why? You look very happy over there.

Look it is not any different and I just have to figure out what o really want and we are not in the orphanage again so you don’t push me around

Okay… okay… I get you I won’t from now on wards you do you I promise on your terms

Better.

Can we go back inside the house now?

Yes sure

Let go then

You haven’t told me how you could afford a space like this and don’t tell me is from selling off pizzas

Look rest Alice I would feed you on with every single information

But first this is where you would be sleeping for the main time and I would provide you with some sheets

Freddy thank you who would have thought you would be kind hearted like this
