AN: Well, now here is the sequel to Sweet Liberty: Revised. As with the original revised version, this has a big plot change as well. Okay, let's get the ball rolling!
Chapter One: No Rest With The Wicked
It was strange. Only about a couple of months earlier, I managed to save my friend from some goon that knew who my father was. The fact of the matter was that I did so with no memory of how I did that certain thing, and when I saved her, I was covered in blood, which scared the living hell out of me, because I knew I did something wrong, but it didn't matter in the end, because I saved someone that I held close to me, and that girl was Alex Russo.
There is something that has been bothering me ever since I saved Alex all of those months ago, and it has to do with my past. Something changed inside of me, or awakened in this situation, and it is really scary. I don't know what it is, or what happens to me now, but something is really strange, and I am scared that when I am around Alex, I might cause her some irreparable harm, or worse, be totally responsible for her death.
The crazy thing about this is, during this whole crazy episode, I may have found the girl that I want to spend the rest of my life with, and it is the girl that I grew up with. Somehow, and someway, I managed to fall in love with a girl that is probably the most dense, and pretty girl that I have ever known, but I can't get near her for too long because I might kill her.
Strange life that I am living, huh?
David found himself sitting in his room, just looking out towards the sunset from his window sill. His mind was on Alex, and how he accidently fell for her. He didn't accidently fall for his friend. He really loved her, but after what the both of them have been through, he figured that telling her that he loved her was going to be a real big mistake, at least right now.
He picked up a picture of the two of them, along with their families at a group event. He immediately focused on the two of them, right when the photo was snapped, Alex gave him a kiss on the cheek. David was caught off guard then, but he still finds himself smiling and blushing a little bit to this very day.
"She is beautiful, but what would she see in a kid like me anyway?" David said sadly. With a sigh, David sat down his picture of Alex, and walked out of his front door.
He did not know where he was going, but all he knew was that he had to get out of his own home so he could clear his head about what he was going to do about these feelings for his friend.
Alex knew that deep in her heart, there was more to what David did than what he actually told her. David always had that real bashful nature when he was around girls that he really liked. She just remembered it when they were traveling back to New York from New Jersey. Then it dawned on her. Maybe David really liked her, in a way more than friendship.
"Nah, he couldn't like me like that." Alex said.
She soon forgot about what she told herself, but for some strange reason, that thought came roaring back to her in no time...
"Well, if it isn't the hero himself!" Peter Parker, David's friend said as he approached his house.
"Thanks for the round of applause, you insect." David moaned at his friend.
"No really. It was brave of you to do what you did." Peter said with a smile and thumbs up. "But you mentioned that there was something that was really bothering you?"
"Yeah, I think that I might have a power inside of me." David said. "What if something bad happens with me while I am around Alex?"
"Jeez, you must have it bad for her. Most of your concerns seem to be about her." Peter said.
"Of course they are. We have been friends since preschool. What am I supposed to think about her?" David asked back.
"Friendships between the opposite sex always run the risk of turning into a romance." Peter said in a zen like voice. "Do you want to know what you should do?"
"Yes, wise ass, tell me." David said, getting impatient.
"Find out her feelings for you, then move on from there." Peter said.
"Well, that is a way of looking at things, I suppose." David said. "Thanks."
"No problem." Peter said, watching David walk into the distance.
David walked into his home, and found Louis talking to a girl that was his age. Confused, David cleared his throat, and announce his presence to the two.
"Here he is now." Louis said, motioning for him to come over. "This is David. David, this is Ashley. She just moved in next door."
"Hi, nice to meet you." Ashley said, shaking his hand. David smiled, and gladly took the hand in his, and he found himself blushing badly.
"Same here." David said, stuttering. Ashley gave him a cute chuckle, and smiled right at him. She was a blonde, that was his height, and had a figure that was way more mature for being only 16 years of age.
"If you aren't busy, maybe you can show me around sometime?" Ashley asked him.
"Sure." David said. Ashley gave him one last smile, and left the home.
"So, what do you think of her?" Louis asked, nudging him with his shoulder.
"She really cute." David said. "What am I going to do?"
"Take her out, show her the town, be a good pal, and guess what? Maybe something might come from it." Louis said.
"You're right, I have to be on the best behavior that I know I can be." David said.
Louis and Villo looked at each other, and burst out with laughter.
"Jesus, you guys can be real assholes, you know?" David said, walking towards his room.
