Summary: what if Allie was with her friends that day that Noah saw her in Charleston instead of Lon. Would things happen sooner?
A/N: this is my first The Notebook Fic so be kind.
I don't own The Notebook…I wish though.
Noah saw her. Noah definatly saw her. There was no doubt that it was her, even after all these years he would never forget her face. He stood up out of his seat on the bus and looked out the back of the bus. She was walking down the side walk. Noah hurried to the front of the bus, yelling at he bus driver to stop the bus.
"Sorry, Mac, I can't stop the bus until I get to the depot." The bus driver replied.
"No, no, no please stop the bus now! Please!" Noah begged the man, he needed to see Allie.
"Do you understand English, pal?" The bus driver said to him turning his head to face Noah for a second, "No one gets off the bus until we reach the depot. Now sit down."
Noah shook his head he was desperate, he reached out and pulled the handle that opened the door and ran down the steps and jumped off the bus. He watched the bus drive off and then bolted down the street; He could no longer see Allie. He pushed his way through people, not caring how impolite it was. He ran until he ran out of breath, he let out a breath and looked around. He turned and looked in the restaurant and there she was, smiling and talking with a bunch of girls sitting around a table. Noah smiled, not believing what he saw. Allie was here, Allie was only a few feet away from him, after all these years he would see his love again.
He opened the door to the diner and stepped in, a few people seated by the entrance looked over at him then returned their meal. He looked over where he saw Allie before and she was not over there anymore. But still he stood there staring at the table, waiting for Allie's return.
"Did you read the newspaper lately?" One of Allie's friends, Jessica asked another.
"No, why?"
"Well…" she got cut off by Allie's friend, Maria.
"Girls, look over there." She motioned with her head to where Noah was standing. The girls turned around and saw him staring in their direction.
"who is he?" Jessica asked.
"I don't know. But it looks like he is looking directly at us."
"Well He's kinda cute." Maria admitted, and the girls nodded in agreement.
"maybe he's looking for someone, in our direction."
"perhaps, or maybe he's just staring at one of us."
"that's just what you wish Alice, you boy chaser."
Alice smiled sheepishly and Allie came back into the booth and slid next to Maria. "What are we talking about?" She asked, catching the last sentence.
"there's this guy over there that is looking at us." Allie looked over to where they were all looking and suddenly her heart stopped for a mere second. Her smiled faded and she stared disbelievingly. "Noah." She whispered, barely audible. Maria turned to her, "what was that?" she asked.
Allie kept her eyes locked on Noah's, and she stood up slowly.
"Where are going Allie?" Jess asked and the rest of the girls watched as she walked down the little stair way and stopped right in front of Noah.
"what is she doing?" Alice asked to no one in particular. The girls shrugged and watched their friend approach him.
They stood there for the longest time just staring at eachother, both of them not believing that the other is really there.
"Noah?" Allie finally asked breaking the silence.
Noah smiles a little, and Allies heart melts, she missed that smile. "Hello Allie." He greeted and she closed her eyes, oh how she missed that voice. And right at that moment, all thoughts of the past few years escaped her head and she only remembered Her and Noah in their improbable romance. She shook her head, not being able to just stand there and she opened her eyes and looked at Noah. And before she even realized it, she flung her self at him, into his long awaiting embrace.
The girls at the tables mouths dropped.
"ok what is that?" Maria asked.
"I don't know." The other girls replied in unison.
"Allie." Noah whispered in her ear and Allie tightened her grip around him. She missed the feeling of being in his arms. He pressed her face into his chest; he still smelled the same; like lumber. She grew to love that smell, in fact when she was in her house she just wished up she could cuddle up with Noah and have his scent surround her. They didn't say anything after that, just stood silently. This silence gave her time to think. Think about everything, about their past relationship, how close they were, how much they fought, how they were so close to having a night of passion, how her parents forbade her to see Noah anymore, how she ran away from them, how she broke it off with him only to leave the next day never to see him again. She suddenly separated from him, and narrowed her eyes at him. Noah looked at her questioningly.
"why didn't you write me?" Allie questioned suddenly, "Why? I waited for you! Any sign that you still cared!"
Noah shook his head like he didn't understand, "I wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you every day for a year."
"You wrote me?" Allie asked.
"Yes!" He replied, "Every single day for a whole year!" He shook his head, "it wasn't over… it still isn't over!" He stepped closer to her and brought his lips down to hers.
"Ok…I did not expect that…" alice said staring at them.
"Whoah." Was all Jess said and Maria just stared.
Allie was surprised at first then she gave into the kiss and wrapped her arms around Noah's neck and kissed him back. A few seconds into the kiss she saw Lon's face in her head and she pulled away sharply.
"I can't…I'm sorry Noah. I can't."
"Why not?" he asked the all too familiar question.
She bit her lip and looked up at him and tried to hold back tears, "I'm engaged Noah."
Noah furrowed his brow and looked down to her hand and there was the ring. He closed his eyes and nodded, "ok." Was all he said and he turned around and headed out the door. "Noah." She called out to him and he turned half way around and shook his head looking at her and then walked out of the diner and disappeared down the street. As soon as he was out of her view, tears started pouring down her cheeks. "Noah." She repeated his name once more and just stared out the window of the shop, not caring if everyone in the diner was now staring at her.
A/N: Well there it is…I took parts from later on in the movie…such as "why didn't you write me" "I wrote you every day for a year it wasn't over it still isn't over." I changed it a little though as you can see.
I know it was a little short but I have more planned and review and I will update as soon as possible!
