Rewriting Us

Family

"Excuse me,is the party over?"A voice asked.

Alice almost let out a frustrated sigh but managed to stop herself. Giving out her biggest smile, she turned to the person, but stuck midway.

She crinkled her eyebrows and blinked her eyes twice.

'Did Bruce attend the banquet in the book?' She asked herself.

"Excuse me."he snapped her out of her thoughts, he looked impatient now with one of his eyebrows raised.

Alice subtly cleared her throat before she replied.

"No, it's not...." That was the only thing he allowed her to say before he rolled his eyes and walked out leaving her stunned.

Something was wrong, that was definitely Bruce, The writer had left no stone unturned while describing him and Bethany, they were both every American ideal person.

Bethany is a Blue eyed, smoking hot blonde, with the perfect curls on her hair and the perfect curves on her body. She has the perfect manners, intelligent and knowledgeable, a pleasant company. The only reason why she had been avoiding her was the bad omen looming if she tried to get to her, but even she, was dying to meet her wonderful younger sister.

The writer really loved his main leads for they were nothing short of perfect.

Bruce is also blonde but a darker shade and his eyes were a more transparent blue than Bethany's. He's 6'1, with a not too muscular but rigid pysique, he stunnes any on-looker and even has a cute dimples on both cheeks. In the book, he was a true gentleman in contrast to the second lead Adam who cared very Little about others, so though he was also kind, it was only to his circle, his looks could be described as an unconventional beauty or so Alice liked to call it. It might be that she is biased due to her undying crush on him but she never had anyone to contradict her, not that it was going to change her mind anyway.

But the Bruce she had just encountered, except if it was her tired brain processing things the wrong way is definitely not a gentleman, maybe he was polite at first but he was definitely rude by the time he left, he walked out on her without even thanking her and to add the cherry on the cake, he rolled his eyes at her.

'What is wrong, there are several changes in the plot,did my coming here affect the plot or am I seeing things in another perspective,a perspective different from the writer's?

No, there is no other perspective other than the writer's, this is his creation, his world, it definitely is my coming, after all I had just changed Alice's destined embarrassment in the party. Maybe the more I change, the more the plot changed, but is the change becoming for the better or for the worse?

Why is my change affecting the lead characters when I had done nothing to them?' Alice was so deep in her thoughts, her worries were becoming greater and now she was having fear for the unknown.

'I better go back inside, who knows what is going on there.' Alice hurriedly turned back and went into the building, a known devil is better than an unknown angel.

On entering, Alice noticed the Hall was now less busy with people preparing to leave.

The gifts for the celebrant had piled up and Bethany was thanking the guests individually. A big smile illuminated her face, her perfect set of teeth showcasing themselves enamoring every on-looker.Mr David white, Mrs Emma white and Peter White shielded her from both side with her mother and her brother on the left and her father in her right. The family was one to envy for, beautiful, strong and united, there was nothing or no one missing.

'Maybe I should have stayed back In the garden.' she thought.

As she turned to leave, she bumped into somebody making the person almost fall, Thank God she was fast enough to grab him.

"Oh My God I'm so sorry, I didn't see you, I'm very sorry."

" Accidents happen when things are not in their rightful place, your father had been searching for you, Don't just stand there and judge based on only what your eyes see." Josh Evans stated, he smiled a bit and nodded to her before she could reply him, he was gone.

Cautiously, she turned back to them.Observing them,hoping to understand what Mr Josh meant but there was nothing different.

They were a happy family,standing strong, posing for the camera and thanking the guests one after the other.

Suddenly,she saw her father's eyes wandering, wondering what he was looking for, her eyes followed his and soon enough, they were looking at each other.

On seeing her, a very conspicuous smile formed on his face, he nodded at her and even extended his hands to her. His gesture made everybody turn to her direction, reporters were busy clicking their cameras and the guests were speaking in hushed tones, but all that didn't matter. Somebody was extending his hands towards her, her father was making a place for her in the family, so though she could see Bethany's and her mother's indifference, and Peter's obvious annoyance, she proceeded to him with pride and happiness straining for dominance in her. She is Alice White, the daughter of David White and no matter what it takes, she would rewrite her and the character Alice's story.

"I will rewrite us."
