Who Is, He?
Sike
Chapter 1
"Hello, everybody! We have an exciting show for you tonight. We have Jeffrey Dean Morgan and author of Two Incandescent Hearts; Casey McDonald. And Coldplay is here."
The crowd started applauding!
XO
"And we're back. Our next guest wrote one of the hottest books out, currently titled Two Incandescent Hearts. It's a cute romantic story. Fiction or non-fiction, we aren't sure about that yet, so she is here to answer a few of our needy questions. Alright, let's bring out Casey McDonald.
The crowd applauded as a gorgeous young woman came walking out from back stage in a pretty black dress and heels. She greeted the host with a hug and then sat down in the chair next to her desk.
"It's so nice to have you." said the host.
"I am so nervous." she said with humor.
"Oh no, don't be. We're going to have a great time."
Casey laughed.
"I just mean it's nerve wracking yet exciting. This is such a huge deal."
"Yeah I bet it is with your whole book hitting bookshelves all across the world and all the hits that its been getting."
"It's definitely surreal."
"So, your book is truly...romantic. When did you first come up with the concept? Was it something that happened in your life or were you just kind of writing down what you wish could one day happen to you like a lot of the audience out there?"
Casey smiled and tried to hide her blush.
"Um...it is partially true. It's a story of a few occurrences that happened in my life. The only thing that I made up was the ending…"
"But the interesting thing about your book is that from the middle of the book and on it's empty. Just white pages."
"That's because the story isn't over. I'm still waiting for my happily ever after."
The audience applauded her.
"I'm going to read a few lines from your book that are a few of my favorites." She opened the book page and started reading. "It's as if it was just the two of us in a world unlike any other. He was the only thing that reflected in my eyes, my mind and my heart. I wouldn't call it love for it was too soon to tell but I was definitely going to stick around to find out." "That is just so sweet but what really got me sad, was the middle of the book. On the last page of what you wrote was um...let me find it. "There was another girl looking for the same thing I was, who had already held his heart as he held hers in return, a long while ago. I knew their was no competition as she walked back into his life. Apparently, history was the first subject he was good at. It was weak of me to give up without an explanation or even a goodbye but maybe it was for the best. Even if you have a soul mate, that doesn't mean the two of you will ever be together. If we were truly meant to be, then I would see him again…" "That is just so sad."
"If it sounds sad, you can only imagine how it feels."
"Where is he now?"
"I'm not positive but I hope he's happy wherever he is." she smiled.
"That's nice. This book is so good and it so far is the best thing I've ever read. How old were you when you two fell in love? And yes, I have a feeling you were in love with him."
Casey laughed.
"I was 18 when I finally realized that after years of us seeing each other day after day that I might actually feel something for him. During different parts of the day I caught myself looking at him and noticing the tiny details and then one day he kissed me and it took me off guard but it made the potential new feelings something…real."
"Wow, Casey that is just adorable. Do you think this book will maybe become a movie one day?"
The crowd applauded again and cheered.
"Well, one can only hope." she said laughing.
"I just have one more question before we go to Coldplay."
"Okay." Casey nodded.
"Through the entire book, the guy was always referred to as He; never given a real name. My question is…Who is he?"
"I…want to answer that but the reason he has no real name in the context is that it hurts to much to say his name. I will speak his name when I finally see him standing right in front of me…hopefully one day."
The crowd awed.
"Wow. Well, I'm sure after this many, many young fine men will be asking for your number."
The two laughed so did the crowd.
"Well, thanks so much Casey. Your time here was great."
"Thank you, thank you."
"Now, let's give it up for Coldplay!"
XOXO
"Derek, give me back my homework!" Casey yelled.
"To what are you suggesting?" he asked looking up at her as they sat in English.
She pulled up a piece of paper that he was trying to hide from her and she analyzed it.
"Derek, I can't believe you stole my homework and wrote your name on it!" Casey yelled.
She glared at him then stormed to her desk next to Emily.
Then she glared at his head.
He turned around and smirked at her and then laughed with humor before turning around as his friend's went and sat next to him. He ignored her for the rest of the period which made her feel better.
After class Emily and Casey were walking down the hall.
"Did you understand any of the reading last night? I don't under stand the concept of learning about the Salem Witch Trials when we're from Canada."
"Em, I think The Crucible is an enriching and charitable story about right and wrong and how people shouldn't lie."
"You would." Derek said as he walked by with Sam and Ralph. Ralph turned around as he was walking and winked at Casey. Derek grabbed his from the front of his shirt and span his around before he crashed into the trash can which actually would have been very entertaining to say the least.
"Casey, did you see that?"
"What?" she asked confused.
"The way that Ralph winked at you?"
"He was probably winking at you."
"Hardly. Oh, this is so perfect! You and Ralph should go out!"
"Em, ew!"
"Come on. You haven't even gotten to know him."
"No, but their was the whole Plan Disengagement."
"Huh?"
"Never mind." Casey said hiding her face in her locker.
"Fine. If you won't ask him out I'll make him ask you out." Emily said walking away from Casey in the direction that the three boys had gone.
"Em, no!…please." she said desperately. No such luck.
Casey sighed and grabbed her book out of her locker and headed down the hall in the same direction that Emily went to find Ralph. She saw Emily talking to Ralph outside the classroom that she was about to walk into. It made her even more nervous because she shared 6th period with him. Emily saw casey coming so she smiled and waved.
"We'll finish this later." Emily said walking to her next class. Casey smiled nervously before preceding to her desk.
Class was about to start and Casey dipped down into her seat more when she saw Ralph walk into the room and take the open seat next to hers.
He stared at her smiling kind of creepily. She glanced his direction, smiled slightly and turned the other way so he wouldn't see her creeped out expression. All period he would look her way and give her a smile so when class ended she tried to get out of there as quickly as possible.
Casey was at her locker now grabbing her jacket for it was the chilly month of December. When she saw Ralph heading down the hall. She instantly shut the locker and walked quickly out of the school. Derek was waiting outside with the car honking at her to hurry up.
"Do you want to walk any slower?" he asked her as she got into the car.
"Can the inside of this car be even colder? God, Derek it's called a heater."
"The heater broke this morning."
"Of course it did." she said exasperated as she turned her attention outside; watching the car drive away from the school.
"What's up with your more than usual bitchy mood?"
She turned and glared at him.
"I am not having a very good day so don't try my patience!" she said turning away from him again.
He glanced her way this time and examined her.
"Derek, look out." Casey said.
Derek looked forward and stepped on the brake before he hit the car in front of him.
"That was close." he said.
"Too close! Weren't you paying attention to the road?"
He looked at her fiddle with her hands and take a deep breath. I guess that answers that question.
"That was a great show, Ms. McDonald." The host said coming in from the stage.
"Oh, it was my pleasure. I love your show, I watch it whenever I can."
"Thank you. That's very kind. Would you be interested coming on the show again?"
"Oh, definitely."
"Great. Oh, commercials almost over. I'll talk to you soon." said the host laughing as she rushed back onto set.
"Alright." Casey laughed too.
XOXO
Casey took a cab back to her hotel. She was staying at a gorgeous hotel in New York City. When she got to her room on the tenth floor, she took her light sweater off and walked over to her two double doors. She unlocked the door and walked out onto the balcony. She leaned over the edge and looked down at the busy streets on NYC. The view was amazing and breathe aking.
Casey felt a pair of strong hands slide down her upper arms down to her elbows. She turned around quickly but no one was there. Her heart sighed in defeat. She had to stop siking herself out to think that he would be the one to show up after she was the one that left him. Casey turned back to the view and saw Broadway from her balcony. She smiled to herself before quickly walking back into the room.
A/N-Hey! You know since The Holidays are here, how about sending me some really awesome reviews? I would be very, very happy!
