Hours
One-Shot

I waited.
I waited and I waited and I waited.
Nothing.
The only sound that accompanied me was the wind; blowing and whistling as I sat on the edge of the Pavement. It was a cold evening, but I didn't care. I couldn't leave. I couldn't just walk out like a coward. I had to wait.
So I did.
I waited some more.
I didn't heave a sigh once, I didn't move a single muscle. I just couldn't.
People must be thinking I'm dumb, they must be thinking that I'm such an idiot for waiting out here in the darkness for something that might never come, they must think I'm insane. They're right. I am. But I'll still wait. Even if it means waiting all night; I won't leave. I won't run. I won't hide. I'll wait. Forever.
My eyes stayed glued to the building in front of me, it was hovering above everything, even the trees. It looked like a palace; it is a palace. A palace that I'm not allowed to go any where near.
I kept on hoping somebody would come out of there... I kept on praying, no matter how unlikely and stupid it was. I prayed and hoped and prayed some more.
Nothing.
Absolutely Nothing.
But I stayed put. I didn't move. I didn't leave. I didn't give up. Never. I'm just not like that. I'm a hopeful person; I don't just doubt everything that everyone says; When everybody is screaming 'No', I'll whisper 'Maybe...'.
So I waited some more. I waited and waited and waited. I prayed and prayed and prayed until my brain hurt. I wished and wished and wished until I felt dizzy. But I didn't stop. The hope was too strong. I won't stop. I can't stop.
I didn't realize it had been 2 hours already... I'd wait 200 hours if that's what it took. I was gonna do this. For me. For him. For us. I needed this. I needed him. Oh so badly.
So, again, I waited.
3 Hours.
4 Hours.
5 Hours.
6 Hours.
Midnight.
7 Hours.
8 Hours.
9 Hours.
10 Hours.
Sunrise.
My eyes didn't droop once. I was too determined. Too hopeful.
I felt my body start to cramp from sitting down too long on the cold, hard floor, but that didn't make me move - I'd be caught if I did. Caught Red-Handed. There were Guards every where.
I couldn't be seen where I was, because I was in the middle of two rose bushes. They smelt lovely. But I wasn't in the mood to be smelling them. I wasn't in the mood to do anything.
I was only in the mood to wait.
I knew that there were probably really dark bags underneath my eyes, and that I looked like a Zombie, an ugly, scary, revolting Zombie... But I honestly didn't care at all.
Suddenly, there was a Bang.
A loud one at that.
I jumped up, moving for the first time in hours, my heart starting to beat rapidly, and my breathing quickening.
"There she is!" I heard someone yell in the distance; The voice was Man-like, loud, but soft, tough, but gentle... I knew that voice...
I thought they were talking about me, since I had obviously just blown my cover. So I quickly ducked behind the bushes where I had been hiding so brilliantly for the past long hours. I shut my eyes and prayed and wished again, this time hoping that they wouldn't find me...
I guess this time my prayers were answered... It wasn't me they were looking for, it was somebody else; I carefully looked behind me, at the girl they had caught - She was tall, with short, blond hair, and she wore cheap, ripped up cloths. I sighed and looked away, back at the doors of the big palace, waiting again.
This time, I sighed, thinking that this is stupid.
I didn't want to give up. I didn't want to leave... But I started to feel as if this was too risky, too tiring, too hopeless.
I sighed again, looking down in disappointment and failure. I was about to leave, about to go and give up on all this, thinking that there was absolutely no point, it was no use... When all of a sudden, I heard a voice -
"Ally!"
He came running over to me. My eyes widened, my heart beating faster than before. I screamed in happiness and ran to him, arms right out, giving him a huge, tight hug, with tears starting to form in my eyes. He hugged me back and laughed when he felt me clinging on tight. I never wanted to let go. I could stay like this Forever. Forever and ever and ever.
But I had to sooner or later...
He pulled away from the hug, looking me in the eyes, and giving me a kiss. I felt my insides turn to mush, as his arms wrapped around my waist tightly. I couldn't explain the amount of happiness and relief that came over me when I saw him...
"I've missed you, Ally..." he said once we had pulled away.
I smiled wide at him. "I've missed you, too, Austin!" I almost yelled, hugging him again, full on crying my eyes out now.
"I'm sorry I made you wait so long..." he said, sounding guilty.
"I don't care about that! I forgive you!" I said carelessly, all that mattered was that he was here now.
He grinned at me, hugging me back twice as tight. His head was rested on my neck, I could feel him brushing his lips against my bare skin, as he whispered quietly. "I love you."
I started crying even more.
"I love you, too." I said, hugging tighter. "I love you so so so much. I can't explain how much I love you."
I knew I was acting like a love-struck creep... But he didn't seem to mind.
None of us minded.
I guess it was worth it waiting all those hours.
