Disclaimer: No I do not own Alias or anything affiliated with it. I do own this story and any original characters.
Author's Note: Well folks the time has come to release the much anticipated sequel to Connected. I thought it only fitting to publish the sequel on the same day that the new ALIAS season started, which is why I waited so long to put this story out. Having waited to post this, it has given me time to write a couple of chapters, which is good for all you readers out there since it will mean that there won't be too long to wait between the first few chapters. I hope that you all enjoy this story as much as you enjoyed Connected, and will give me your honest opinions in all reviews. I must warn you though, if you have not read Connected, then I advise you to do so because you might get a little bit lost. Now, without further ado, the story you have all been waiting for.
Right Here Waiting
Prologue- Letters
March 16, 2011
Dearest Julian,
I can't believe it's been only two weeks since all of this has happened. It's so hard to imagine that only fourteen days have passed since we were last together. I miss you terribly.
Mom and dad have been acting really weird around me. They didn't bother to chastise me about running off with you. Me thinks they're worried I'll run off again J.
Life is progressing as if I never left. I'm back in classes, and am set to graduate in only a few more months! Can you believe it! Mom and dad have already told me that they're sending me to Paris for my graduation present. I think it's partially because they don't want me to be moping around thinking of you. Little do they know that it was to Paris that we fled. I can't wait to once again see the Eiffel Tower and the beautiful moonlit streets that we walked hand in hand.
My parents say it's not a good idea, but I want to see you Julian. There is something that I absolutely must tell you. But it cannot be said in a letter. If you don't want to see me, please tell me. I'm hoping that you will want to though because I am absolutely aching to see you.
Well, I have to go to class. Physics, yuck, but it must be learned. Don't ask me why, but my professor seems to think that it will be very important for me to learn. When the hell am I going to use physics in writing a novel? Anyway, I should go now. I love you Julian.
Yours forever,
Chloe

Dear Julian,
I guess you don't want to see me. I would have liked to hear that in a letter than from no letter at all though. I hope nothing happened to make it so that you could not reply. No, I take that back. Something happening to you would be easier to bear than you simply not caring enough to write back.
Graduation approaches. Just three more weeks than I'll be jetting off to Paris and, get this, staying in the very hotel that we stayed in during our time there! I wonder if I'll be staying in the same suite?
Classes are going well. I passed my latest physics test, just barely though. Really nothing exciting happens here, unless you can count the unfortunate kidnapping of a young woman by the name of Chloe Vaughn only a few months ago.
I still wish to see you Julian. Please, please write me back and tell me I can see you. I'm begging you Julian. There is something I need to tell you. It's very important.
Waiting impatiently,
Chloe

Dear Julian,
Graduation has come and gone and I am now writing you from my hotel suite over looking Paris. I'm staying only one floor down from what I have come to call our suite. Looking at it alone, the Eiffel Tower is not the same. Paris seems empty without you here to tell me about its history and show me all the sites. But you aren't here, and that is something that I have to live with.
Why did you not respond to my last letter? Is that too something that I must live with? The knowledge that you do not care enough to respond to my letters? I guess you have forgotten me, as that is the only answer I can come up with. But that is okay, I have resigned myself to the fact that you will not write me back and I shall go on with my life.
Waiting without hope,
Chloe

Julian,
I don't know why I'm writing this letter when I know that you won't respond, but I must tell you the news I have. I have finished my first book and, after three months out, it is already on the best seller's list! I am so happy that I cannot contain myself. Every time I walk into a bookstore I search for my book and it feels so good to see it there, in a hardcover with my name on it! I can't believe that I've finally done it.
Well, I just wanted to tell you that. So, whenever you get out go and find my book. I promise you'll like it.

Sark,
This will be the last letter I ever write you. To be honest I don't know why I've persisted over the last five years. Maybe because it was nice just to write down my thoughts, kind of like a journal but with somebody else reading what I write. But this is absolutely to be the last letter I ever pen.
I'm getting married in a week. I don't know why I'm telling you this. Maybe some part of me still hopes that you will, at last, pick up a pen and write me, plead with me to not go through with it and declare your undying love for me. But I know it's no use.
My fiancé is really nice and mom and dad love him. Frankly I think they're just glad that I'm finally moving on with my life and putting you and our affair behind me. So with this I say good-bye. I wish you luck Sark.

I am so evil. Lol. I hope you enjoyed this first installment of what, I hope, will be a terrific sequel. Please review and tell me what you thought.
PS. Sorry it was so short.
