The Waiting is the Hardest Thing

Chapter One: Her Pain

She watched Lucifer Milton pressing Meg Masters to the wall of the corridor school, kissing her lips feverishly as his gorgeous hands tangled in her thick dark locks. A sigh escaped the observor's lips as she watched, leaning back against the lockers and looking to her feet that were clad in white and pink sneakers. She ran a hand through her strawberry-blonde curls and sighed, dark green eyes closing before she willed her tears away and opened her locker.

It pained her to see him with so many girls, to see him with them all because they wanted to say they'd dated the hottest guy in school. He was, even hotter than her friend Dean Winchester, who, it had to be said, was one of the hottest guys on the planet. Her father kinda wanted her to get together with Dean, since they'd sort of been close as young children and her mother had always viewed them as the perfect couple, but Dean Winchester, as it transpired was gay and dating Lucifer's cousin, Castiel Novak. Castiel was a shy person, one who was sensitive but often got confused by the most trivial things, which of course made everyone laugh, but not in a nasty way. She turned to see Castiel's identical twin Jimmy and his girlfriend Amelia heading down the corridor, followed by Lucifer's adopted brother, Gabriel and his girlfriend, Jo Harvelle.

Sam, Dean's little brother was heading down the corridor the opposite way with his girlfriend, Jess Moore, fingers entwined and love-stricken grins plastered over their faces, bless them. Oh, and there was Lucifer's older non-identical twin, Michael heading down with his partner in crime, Ruby Johnson, stopping to kiss in competition with Meg and Lucifer. The observor sighed again, only to feel a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"Ali?"

Alaina turned to see her friend Anna smiling gently at her, a look of concern washing over her stunning eyes.

"Huh?" Alaina asked, looking at the girl a mere year her junior.

Anna was a stunning redhead, beautiful in more ways than people could count, and she was dating the school's only British student, Crowley. No-one knew Crowley's surname or if indeed that was his surname, and not his first name, but girls swooned over the eighteen year old because of his charm and his accent, not to mention how rich and handsome he was.

"Stop thinking about my brother..." Anna said softly, "You're only causing yourself pain."

"I can't." Alaina replied, looking up at her friend with her big, brown, bloodshot eyes that were stinging with the signs of tears, "I just can't."

"Hello, darling."

Anna smiled at Alaina who wiped her forming tears and chuckled, gasping as two arms wound around her waist.

"Crowley!"

Anna spun around and kissed her boyfriend's lips, Crowley responding feverishly. God, how many couples did Alaina have to see kissing today? She opened her locker and grabbed her bag, seeing no-one turn to wish her goodbye before she left school, finding herself being followed by none other than Becky Rosen, the girl who was dating Chuck Shurley, one of Castiel's best friends.

"Hey, Ali!" She called, taking in the girl's sad look, "You thinkin' of Lucifer again?"

Alaina just smiled weakly at Becky and sighed.

"I just wanna go home, okay?" She said sadly, "I'm sorry, Becky...we'll talk tomorrow, huh?"

Becky nodded and hugged her friend before heading back to find Chuck, no doubt to kiss his face off like ever fucker else was doing. Damn that pissed Alaina off. She moved through the crowds only to feel yet another person tap her shoulder. She sighed and turned to see Ash, Jo Harvelle's cousin. No-one knew his surname either which puzzled everyone greatly. He never revealed it but was known as Dr. Badass, simply because that's what he was.

"Hey, gorgeous." He said, Alaina smiling in response, "You up for the movies on Saturday?"

Alaina looked up at Ash and raised an eyebrow.

"Come on!" He huffed, "I'm going, Dean and Cas going, Jo and Gabe are going, Sam and Jess are going too..."

"Great so I can be surrounded by people eating each other's faces off?" Alaina breathed, "Don't think so, but thanks anyway."

She turned and walked away, Ash calling after her.

"Lucifer's going."

She stopped and turned, looking back at the slightly older boy before raising her eyebrow again.

"Okay, fine...it was just gonna be me and you, but come on!" He pleaded, "Spend a little time with me, huh? It'll be great!"

Ash had always had a crush on her, it was no secret and she was okay with it. Often she wondered if maybe dating him would take her mind off of Lucifer, but she didn't know if she wanted that to happen. She sighed and rolled her eyes, a smile spreading across her full lips. God, she was like her mom, Ash noticed, although that didn't creep him out maybe as much as it should.

"Okay...you got me."

Ash grinned and hugged her tight, feeling her hug him back before sighing with content.

"I'll pick you up at what...six-thirtyish?"

"Okay." Alaina replied, "See you then."

She turned and walked out of the gates, heading back towards her house to spend the night in her room alone, as usual. She wasn't normally so quiet, but since she'd really started to fall for Lucifer, Alaina had become sort of isolated, not really wanting to go out anywhere or hang out with friends. They had Friday off this week because of a teacher training day, so she was going to do a bit of exam revision and then just relax.

She wondered if her "date" with Ash (as he'd consider it) would be enough to take her mind off of things for a while.
