Be My Escape (Open/Casual)

[bri2]

"And then the stupid girl asked me what an eighth not was. I laughed so hard I almost fell off stage."The Fat balding man snorted noisily as he spoke.

Alice thought she was going to be sick. This man was absolutely disgusting, she wanted to push him down and run as far as she could from him and the stench he held. But her Mother had told her to be a good girl, that and she had people watching Alice like a hawk. She couldn't blame her Mother for the latter, she did have a tendency to escape from parties.

Alice hated that she was being forced to stay at one of her mother's parties. Many people were there, all higher up's in New York. It was for something about fundraising for elections, but Alice didn't pay attention, nor did she truly care. Dressed in a deep blue, strapless dress that only went down to mid thigh, paired with silver heels. Alice hated it. She hated everything about it, but her Mother had forced her to wear it.

"It will help you find a boyfriend.

That's what her mother had told her when she asked why. That was her Mother's point in anything she did for Alice, to get her a boyfriend. All Alice wanted was adventure and excitement, a boyfriend would just keep her caged, and Alice needed to be free.She needed to live, to fly, she needed to be herself. She would much rather be out on the streets exploring or trying to climb the sides of the buildings like Spiderman. She was strange to other people, the often thought there was something wrong, mentally, with her. Alice heard the things that were whispered about her, she just chose to ignore them. She's a child, ignorant, and stupid, all those comments and lived her life the way she wanted too.

"I mean really what was the girl thinking talking to me. I'm a music major after all, and I don't talk to the lower educated people in the University. They think they can keep up with us."

Alice snapped, she had quite enough of this man's comments. He had no right to make fun about someone because they were a English major and not in the Musics. Alice turned towards him with her hands placed on her narrow waist.

"You know maybe if you were nice and not so mean to people you wouldn't be fat, lazy, and all alone. I mean who do you think you are. King? Ha, your not King of anything. Maybe you should work on how you talk to people, you wouldn't be stuck her with me if you could. In fact you won't even have me because your a bloody jerk. " Alice said with a stern face. She had enough of him for the night. She quickly turned and walked across the large party room. She huffed and leaned against the wall glaring into empty space.

She needed someone to be her escape out of her personal Hell hole. The only question was who would help her?

She started to enter the building as she found herself to be flocked by paparazzi. The party she had found out about because of one of her students and also she just did not care about the reason why she was here. She knew many questions were to be asked about her husband. But for the meantime she had to be by herself. Cocking her head, she stared at the girl as she placed her hand on her waist. "Little one.. Dare I ask why you feeling sad" she asked and sat down as she covered her body with her fine coat. She knew Richard must have someone to spy on her so she had been not really on the good end of her husbands stick. But now she just needed a drink and maybe someone to chat to, this woman seemed promising but how to go about her. Seeing the fat man who she had been talking to a minute ago she smiled and started to grab the woman's hand. "Want to go to dinner then follow me" she said and started to chuckle. She knew she was rushing things but maybe she was exaggerating things but she needed a little bit of relaxation.

Alice jumped slightly as she heard the woman sit beside her, dressed in a fancy coat. She had taken Alice by surprise but had intrigued her. She seemed to be different from others around her. She didn't seem interested in the party around them and wanted to get out of the room. Alice couldn't deny that she too wanted to leave and do something fun. At the moment this woman was the funniest thing around.

Alice thought about it carefully. "Yes I would love to get out of here and go to dinner with you " Alice smiled at her and almost hopped out of the seat that she was in. It took all her restraint to keep from pulling the woman out of the room and down to any waiting car she could find

[ANNE SOPHIE PLANTAGENET]

She smiled as she started to walk out of the party and into her limousine. She was driving in high class, and she was not getting used to anything else. Being the mayors wife was actually a perk. Turning to the girl, she started to wait for her to get into the car and smiled. The girl had agreed to have some sort of dinner with her. But she could take her to maybe the Plaza hotel. She knew that they served a very delicate veal but did the woman have those sort of taste. She would also maybe take her clothes shopping since it was not her money but Richards that she could spend. "Well you are coming right" she asked and chuckled.

Alice quickly climbed into the limo and sat besides the woman. She had been in many limo's in her lifetime. Her mother being a movie star and her father a famous director had gotten her used to it. She looked out the window as the driver drove through the streets. She was interested in who this woman was and what she did. Alice had always been a nosy person and she wasn't going to stop now. She turned to face the woman and studied her.

"Hello, my name's Alison Liddell but you can call me Alice." She smiled brightly her English accent still strong after 15 years of being in America. She looked the woman up and down and rocked back and forth in her seat gently "Who are you? And where are we going?"

[ANNE SOPHIE PLANTAGENET]

She smiled and snickered. "Dear Girl I was the mayors wife maybe you haven't heard of Richard Plantagenet . But he is my husband . Dinner correct that is were we were going." she said and started to smile. The girl was interesting and yet at the same time she really liked the attitude that the woman was having. Also her name, Alice now that was a interesting name. She wondered what were her parents like. "Also we are getting you some clothes" she said and smiled. If her name sounded familiar then the woman needed to have some reaction at this point.

[bri2]

Alice smiled brightly at her. She liked this woman, she was nice and was paying for things. That was good since Alice didn't have any money with her. The woman looked expectant of something but Alice couldn't know what. The woman wasn't familur of course Alice didn't really know much about famous people. Though lately her dancing had started to make her into one.

" Good I'm starving! My mother didn't let me eat before forcing me into this dress." She hummed lightly before turning back towards her. "Where are we going shopping?"

[ANNE SOPHIE PLANTAGENET]

She started to sit up and smiled. " Do you know a store called Hermes, or what would you like . I always wanted a friend to dote on. Though my husband would not approve either, we better watch ourselves. " she said and started to remember what she had told Richard. Yes maybe she was crazy to think that things would be better if she just kept herself quiet, peaceful even. Quiet and peaceful were two guidelines that she followed. But with the sudden change in her attitude towards Richard. That was a bit to complicated for now. She had also said that she was with a man. She was cruel. But he was cruel as well. " What is your favorite word, and why would a mother force a child into anything" she asked and quirked her brow. But rather thought better of it and fell silent.

[bri2]

Alice hummed and bit on her knuckle as she thought about what was her favorite word was. She could say it was Daddy since he was the person she loved the most. Maybe she should say Wonderland since it was the place she called home. Or maybe Jacob who was her best friend. Alice thought about it hard and taped her foot lightly. Her face brightened greatly after a moment when she thought of the perfect word.

"Adventure, it's my favorite word."

She smiled happily, "I don't really care where I shop I just like looking at all the shining things. And my mother doesn't like it when I don't look like a proper lady, so she forces me into the dresses she likes."

[ANNE SOPHIE PLANTAGENET]

She smiled ,when she heard the young woman say that Adventure would be the word that was her favorite. Adventure she would get. It was on the rare occasion when she got to have a little bit of fun. But this time she would complete and utterly become a glutton in it. She deserved it, after so much harshness and pain. She needed to know that she was still human. Who in the in the world would need that. She. On top of that, there was also the sudden feeling that she and this girl would become more acquainted with one another as the evening passed. The car halted briefly as she looked though the window outside and smiled. They were deadly close to the place she liked to shop.

A lot of pretty things they sold there. But most of all, she wanted to have a friend, at least to do these things. Her mind confused before that solitude was the best option. Now she saw that her life was to battered and bruised. She needed someone to carry her pains with. Even though she was married. But would the girl be her, her friend. " You can spend as much as you want. Then we can go spend money on trinkets"she suggested ,and sat up a little more. A life time of thinking negatively, now was showing her that she should not be so destructive. Or was she just making excuses. "You should not care about what other people think, you should care about who you are"she also added, the girls comment about her mother made her feel sorry.

Or was she just feeling sorry for her.
