Chapter 2

Charlie rang the next day (so he was obviously very keen too!). Lizzy had a feeling he would have rung that night if it hadn't been so late and Jane and Charlie arranged a dinner date for Saturday night. Lizzy had never seen her sister so happy before, even when she assisted in the birth of her first baby elephant when she was out on sabbatical in Africa. Lizzy worked hard on her chapter all of Friday but spent Saturday morning shopping with Jane looking for a new outfit for her date in the evening. They stopped for lunch after successfully finding an elegant red dress. "Oh Lizzy if only you could meet someone nice" said Jane looking at her sister sadly.

"Jane I don't have time for a man, my life is far too busy and full. What more do I need!" Lizzy laughed.

"Lizzy are you sure you don't mind me going out when you are visiting" asked Jane.

"Of course not Jane I am so very excited for you" grinned Lizzy.

Jane came back from her date glowing with pleasure and she was most certainly falling in love, I had never seen her like this before. I travelled back to Cambridge with happiness in my heart for my wonderful sister.

In the back of my mind I could still see Will's deep brown eyes glaring at me. Why could I not forget about him? He had made me so angry. I just didn't understand how such a lovely man as Charles Bingley could associate with such a disagreeable man as Will was. Well hopefully I wouldn't have to see him again!

Back in Cambridge the next few weeks flew by with regular phone calls from Jane giving news on her blossoming relationship with Charlie. He had already met mum and dad and of course they approved! Mum was particularly impressed that it turned out that he comes from a very wealthy family in the city (as money always seems to impress her!). Dad approved of him because although his family wealth meant he didn't need to work, he attended university at Cambridge to study Law and practiced for a few years before his band formed at Uni. hit the big time. He says the fame won't last forever so he can always go back to the law if his musical career doesn't last. He would never expect his family to support him because his independence is too important. She discovered that Charlie was in the band with Will, this is how they know each other, so maybe they just play together and don't actually talk very much, maybe that's how Charlie has put up with Will for so long. Charlie's the bassist, he thinks this is great because he can enjoy himself and people don't notice the bassist as much so don't get hassled on the street and on nights out, Charlie was not big on attention.

It was Charlie's birthday that weekend and Lizzy had been invited to his house in London for a party. She caught the train down to Jane's flat at London Zoo and they smartened themselves up for the party.

"Do you know how big this party is going to be Jane? said Lizzy to Jane

"I don't know but I am a bit nervous as it will be the first time I have met some of his friends and family".

"Jane they will all love you, everyone who ever meets you must love you, as you have such a sweet disposition" Lizzy smiled as she spoke.

"Oh you are biased by our sisterly bond of love" replied Jane. Lizzy just smiled to herself. Jane never realised how wonderful she was, that was part of her charm.

They caught the tube to Netherfield where Charlie lived with their overnight bags as Charlie insisted the girls couldn't travel back alone late at night and there were plenty of guest rooms at his place. They arrived at this huge apartment it was in a beautiful old building built in the 1800's with vast rooms with high ceilings. Jane and Lizzy gave their names at the door and were permitted to enter, although the guy seemed to recognise Jane as this wasn't her first visit.

"It's so grand" Lizzy exclaimed. As soon as they got through the door Charlie was there welcoming them and taking their coats. The hug he gave Lizzy was as they were brother and sister and she had to turn away as Charlie welcomed Jane with such a passion that they were struggling to control themselves. Charlie gazed at Jane with such a complete look of love and Jane returned that look to him and Lizzys heart swelled for them. At that moment she believed they were made for each other and that nothing could stop them being together. She could see their future now and it was a very happy one, I was so delighted for them.

Charlie took us both by the arm (one side each) and led us into the main party to introduce us. First he introduced us to his sisters Caroline and Louisa and Louisa's husband. The sisters were very posh and seemed a bit snobby but they seemed to approve of Jane (well who wouldn't).

Then there were Charlie's friends from Cambridge including the band. Lizzy dreaded seeing Will's scowling face again but luckily he hadn't arrived yet (did he think of himself too highly to bother to turn up to a party on time!) Lizzy thought.

Lizzy chatted away to the rest of the band (while he introduced Jane to some other people) which consisted of the lead singer Dave and the drummer Steve. Well that meant Will must be the guitarist then no wonder he thought of himself so highly she thought to herself. They were particularly interested in Lizzy's opinion of Cambridge and the music scene there and she teased them about being famous. They said they recognised her from the alternative night in Longbourne town that had been there first visit there. The barman was a friend of Steve's and he had recommended the place to the band. They hoped that it would be a good place to go where they might not be recognised, but no chance it seems!

She was just about going to ask them what their band was called but it was a difficult question to bring up as since they were supposed to be famous she felt she should recognise them and know what band they were in when she was interrupted by the entrance of Will. He said hello to the band, stared at Lizzy for a moment and then walked off heading towards the drinks!

"What is up with him?" questioned the drummer.

"Its probably me, he seemed to take a dislike to me the first time I met him, he glared at me a lot and I wouldn't come and talk to him when he summoned me and then I knocked into him and spilled his drink, so yes its probably me! I expect he is not happy to see me here" stated Lizzy.

"No I'm sure its not you, although spilling someone's beer is a crime that cannot be easily forgiven unless copious amounts of beer is provided as an apology" Steve laughed

"I did offer to buy him another drink but his fan club stepped in!" Lizzy exclaimed.

"Anyway he is worried about his little sis. He has always been very protective of her ever since his parents died. Ever since we hit the big time guys seem to want to know his sister and not just because she is a nice person. There is one creep Will has had to warn off, he nearly broke poor Georgies heart (and Will broke his nose). She thought herself in love with him but he just wanted her for the money and the fame. The Darcy family are rich anyway but with fame involved everyone seems to want a piece of you. It's definitely more difficult to trust people, although I feel I could trust you Lizzy, even though I have not known you long, you don't seem to be affected by all of this as other women are".

"You are right I am not, just because someone has fame it doesn't mean that they are talented or a good person. I respect and admire people for who they are inside and what they do to make a difference in the world" said Lizzy.

"I'm afraid me and Dave just make the most of it, you know with the girls and stuff but Charlie and Will are just not interested. Well I have never seen Charlie interested in a girl until he met your sister; we were starting to think he might be gay. Will is just not interested, he says none of the girls are appealing enough for him to want to spend any time with them" said Steve

"I hope you are not speaking like this of Charlie just because he is with my sister! Is this the truth? I would be really happy to hear that he doesn't have a womanizing past, but even if he did it is clear to see that he adores my sister and that is all that matters".

"We tell you the truth here Lizzy, and yes Charlie is clearly head over heels, it makes me want to puke" chuckled Dave.

Lizzy easily chatted away with Steve and Dave they were lovely friendly easy going guys, both very attractive, although neither would interest her in a romantic way but they were very entertaining. In the back of her mind she was really pleased that Charlie did not have the morals of Dave and Steve who made the most of their fame to meet young ladies but she did admire their honesty and that they were upfront about their behaviour. She hoped they were as honest with the girls they met. She couldn't actually imagine that Charlie would be a womaniser he was so sweet, but you never know. A man could be so easily tempted.

Now she was utterly confused about Will. All those women around him and he's not interested? And a brotherly worry about his sister that shows there is a kind side to him.

Will seemed to be sulking in the corner with a can of Guinness while Lizzy was chatting away to his band mates. Finally he decided to wander over and he asked her if she had, had a good evening in Longbourne town the other week. "I did have an enjoyable night except for when I split your drink and you snapped at me" stated Lizzy not shy to get to the point.

"Yes I am sorry about that I had a lot on my mind at that time" he said quietly and solemnly. Lizzy looked at him in surprise. He had actually apologised for something! Ok maybe she could get along with this guy just for the sake of Charlie and her sister.

"I still owe you a drink, as it was my fault. I love to dance and I was in too much of a rush to get back on the dance floor!" said Lizzy in a friendly manner.

At that moment the party DJ had put on a slow song and people started pairing up on the makeshift dance floor. Wills facial expression changed from his usual stern look to one of thoughtfulness "Lizzy..." he slowly and quietly spoke "Would you like to dance with me?" But at that moment before Lizzy had a chance to answer Will, Caroline (who had been staring at the pair deep in conversion and didn't like it one bit) grabbed Lizzys hand and pulled her away from Will saying

"I need to talk to you" and she gently maneuvered Lizzy to the other end of the room into the corner and said "I do very much like your sister, and her and my brother are getting on so well".

Lizzy observed Jane and Charlie swaying away to the music on the dance floor as close as they could get at that moment and they looked perfect together. Lizzy was actually quite grateful to be dragged away at that moment as she was so astonished. She didn't know if she would have said yes to Will's request for a dance, maybe she would have to show that the bad feeling was fading and for her sister and Charlie's sake. But what had come over him, suddenly being nice to her. Maybe he was making an effort for his friend's sake as well.

Lizzy looked back at him and his face had transformed back into a scowl again.

(Will's POV)

Caroline is such a pain getting in the way because she was getting jealous that I was talking to a beautiful, intelligent woman. Just when I get the courage to ask her to dance she is whisked away from me.

(Lizzy POV)

Lizzy chatted with Caroline a bit longer but she really wasn't very interesting to talk to, she was telling her about variuos people in the room and how rich their families were or how famous they were. From what I could gather there didn't seem to be much depth to her but I thought I should make the effort as it was Charlie's sister. She did talk about Will an awful lot and how he would only be interested in someone as famous or as rich as him. She also asked about our family and when I told her I got a full scholarship to go to university as our father didn't have the money to pay for me or my sisters she didn't look very impressed. At last Charles and Jane came over and rescued me, and we all danced together.

I then chatted with Steve the drummer again about how Cambridge had changed since he had been there, how he had only just got his degree as he had spent too much time partying and playing with the band and the advantages of a Mapex drum kit over a Premier kit. Lizzy had played a friends drum kit before and was fascinated by the different drum rolls you could do and the double bass drumming. Steve offered to teach her some more sometime and she was delighted to accept the lessons. "On one condition" he stated, "that you come and see us play to check if I am worthy of being your teacher!"

"Of course Steve I would love to hear you, when are you playing next?"

"We are actually doing a homecoming gig in Cambridge soon I will get you and your sister tickets"

"Excellent I will look forward to it Steve".

When the party came to a close Charlie showed us to the guest rooms. What a perfect gentleman! and we settled in for the night. When we came down for breakfast we found that half the party seemed to stay over the night, sadly that included Will and he still didn't look very happy, did that guy never smile! He seemed to have gone back to the staring and didn't say a word.

The next weekend Lizzy was back in Longbourne again to catch up with Charlotte and they decided to go to the open mike night at the alternative club. Lizzy brought her guitar along but was deciding whether she had the courage to play or not as she hadn't played in front of people for a while. Joe was there and gently coaxed her to go up and play. She agreed to but only he it was later on in the evening when people had consumed a few drinks and might not notice her mistakes as much! Lizzy headed to the bar to get the next round in and found herself standing next to a tall, dark and handsome man at the bar. He gave her a very welcoming smile and offered to buy her a drink. "Thank you, you are very kind but I am getting a round in for my friends".

She noticed that he was wearing a Cambridge scarf. "Are you still at Cambridge?" Lizzy asked pointing at his scarf; I have just started a PhD there.

"Oh no" he said "I graduated a few years back it is a wonderful place to study".

"Yes I do love it, I'm Lizzy by the way" as she held out her hand to shake hands with him.

"I'm George, it is lovely to meet you Lizzy" he said as he took her outstretched hand and placed a kiss on it. Lizzy thought that was very old fashioned but a lovely touch. They chatted for a bit about Cambridge and then Lizzie though she really should get back to her friends with the drinks although she was really enjoying talking to this charming man. At that moment Joe appeared as he had wondered where Lizzy had got to and wanted to make sure she was okay.

(Joe POV)

When Joe saw Lizzy chatting to a man at the bar he was a bit jealous, but he gave himself a good talking to as he had no right to be jealous she was his friend and would always just be his friend although he didn't like the look of the guy there was something about him he didn't trust. Joe whisked Lizzy away back to Charlotte as quickly as he could.

(Lizzy POV)

Lizzy bumped into George again a bit later and they realised they had an acquaintance in common, a certain Will Darcy. George explained to Lizzy of his sad tale of how he should have been in the band but Will sabotaged his guitar before he auditioned for the band in the beginning. He knew he was better at playing than Will but the band never got to hear him. That was the only reason he was so poor now as music was his passion and he wouldn't want to do anything else. Lizzy was disgusted that Will would do such a thing and that the lovely band must not know what Will did, she was disgusted by any form of cheating to get anywhere in life. If you were not good enough for something and you really wanted it you worked harder until you achieved it.

The open mike night was now in full swing and Lizzy finally got the courage up to play guitar and sing. Her voice was so melodic and so full of emotion. Unknown to her Will was standing hidden in the back corner listening to her and his heart melted, her beautiful voice, the passion in her playing the emotion she conveyed, he knew then that he was in love, she was the most incredible women he has ever met. Her turn was over all too soon and she leaves the stage to resounding cheers and heartfelt applause. Everyone else loves her too.

She chatted to George again but then George looked up and saw Will and they scowled at each other and George excused himself and left the club. Lizzy was seething inside it was so unfair that George felt he had to leave because of Will. Lizzy noticed that Will was not alone he was with Steve and Dave from the band and they started walking over her way so she tried to put on a happy face for them. "Hey Lizzie, I didn't realise you were so talented maybe you might consider joining our band?" said Steve with a huge grin on his face.

"Oh no, you were here when I was on stage, I am so embarrassed" Lizzy said as she held up her hands to cover her face in embarrassment.

"You have no reason to be embarrassed it was great, you might give Will a run for his money in the guitar playing stakes" laughed Dave. Lizzy waited for Will to disagree or sulk at that suggestion but he then said

"it was beautiful Lizzy you are really very talented" he said in a heartfelt manner. Lizzy was shocked how dare this horrible man pay her such a complement especially when she had just found out how awful he was! He must be playing with her, being sarcastic. She gave him a strange look but thanked him all the same and then excused herself to go back to Charlotte and Joe as quickly as she could.

(Darcy POV)

She even seems to hate me even when I say something nice to her. I have no chance she is breaking my heart, I never thought I would let a woman get to me this way. And what was she doing with George Wickham, I hoped never to see him again and there he was chatting up the most amazing person in the room. I really want to warn Lizzy about him but she can't stand to be anywhere near me, she would never believe what he is like. Now she has gone off to that DJ guy again the way he looks at her makes me so jealous, maybe she likes him?

(Lizzy POV)

As soon as Lizzy went back to Charlotte and Joe she had to tell them what George had been telling her tonight about Will. Charlotte was unsure but believing someone she had only just met but Lizzy was convinced it was the truth, the way George had spoken seemed so genuine. Joe wasn't sure either and told Lizzy that there was something about George he didn't trust but he could see that Lizzy liked him very much. "I'm just telling you what I think Lizzy, I will always look out for you, you know that" he said

"I know Joe I do trust your judgement and will be on my guard if I meet him again, but you will not stop me from talking to him Joe!"

"I know I could never stop you from doing anything you didn't want to Lizzy, you are far too stubborn for that".

"You know me well Joe" Lizzy said giving him a huge smile and a kiss on the cheek.

Steve had come through on his promise to get tickets for Lizzy and Jane to see the band at their homecoming gig in Cambridge. Well he had put them on the guest list anyway which meant they could go back stage or anywhere they liked but because they didn't have tickets she still didn't know what their band was called and Jane had never found either, oh well they would find out on the night. Jane was really excited to see Charlie play and they arrived really early and hung out with the band. Lizzy avoided Will as much as she could until they were due to begin; she was contented to chat with Steve. Lizzy had decided that she would go out into the crowd and try and get up the front to see the band and soak in the atmosphere. Lizzy manoeuvred herself through the crowd to the front but Jane was happy to stay backstage and watch from the sidelines.

It all went dark and then the music began….

(Lizzy's POV)

She focused her glistening deep brown eyes to the spot on the stage where he was performing; creating the most beautiful music she had ever heard on his battered black Fender Strat. She closed her eyes and listened to the rift she knew so well, that she had never tired of hearing thousands of times over and over, in her home, in her car, but she had never had the pleasure of hearing it live until now. She had been desperate to get tickets see this song played live, and see how this amazing sound was created but it had always been the wrong time her with exams and other commitments. It was the rift that yanked at her heart and brought tears to her eyes every time she heard it. It was so full of passion…, pain….. and longing…. The spotlight was focused on the handsome lone figure on the stage that possessed the talent to create something so incredible that moved her so much.

But it was him, him, of all people creating this most beautiful music! She couldn't believe it. She didn't have a clue that he was in one of the biggest, and her favourite band in the world. She never really paid attention to who was in the groups, it was the music that was important. When Joe had mentioned Will was in famous band she never even considered than it could be this band, Renegade the band she considered her band….. His playing was incredible not only was it note perfect but you could see the emotion on his face and feel the magic, electricity in the air. She felt breathless and realised this was actually because she had forgotten to breathe and made a conscious effort to start again before she passed out. Her admiration for his talent washed over her, not because the fame of the band, it certainly didn't make her like him as a person any more than before, but his playing made her weak at the knees.

She had been so rude to him, but then he had been so up himself that he deserved her rudeness. She felt even more anger now, did he think he could treat people badly just because he was really famous? Well she certainly didn't want to speak to him ever again. He was not worth her time! But the way he played guitar, it was so raw, full of passion and feeling. What a contrast to his behaviour to her and everyone that surrounded him. I didn't think he had any feelings but the evidence was on that stage in front of her. Her emotions were so conflicted.

(Will's POV)

She was the most incredible person he had ever met, her fire, her passion, the fact she wasn't impressed by him just because he was famous, in fact she didn't even know who he was. It was so refreshing. He didn't know how to act in front of her, he was in awe of her and she hated him he thought sadly. He was very shy really, crazy as this was as that he was the lead guitarist of a very successful band that had toured the world but he was oh so shy. But when he played his guitar it was as if no one else was there. It didn't matter if they were playing in a huge stadium, he hardly noticed the people. They were not the reason he was there, it was the music. The trouble was that everybody wanted to know him just because he was in the band and famous. They didn't care about the man inside. They just wanted to hang out with, sleep with or marry him, just because of his fame. Ok so he realised that feeling important had gone to his head a little bit and that he thought was above having to talk to the silly fans, they didn't really care about him they had no substance so he could snub them if he wanted they still loved him any way, well…. all except for her. She hates me, she makes me feel ashamed of myself and unimportant, humbled in her presence. She is different to the others, she is interesting. I would love to talk to her again, spend time with her, spend my life with her...she is the first thing that has ever taken my attention away from my music. But she doesn't want to know me and doesn't care who I am.

He had to get lost in the music but all he could see was her. He needed to concentrate, like nothing else mattered, like it normally was, but he didn't even need to look he could feel those beautiful brown eyes on him, their stare piercing through him with a look of hatred. Standing in the crowd all around her bodies were moving, jumping to the music, but she stood still staring at him, he had to ignore her. At last he couldn't feel her stare any more she had closed her eyes and smiled. Although she hated him at least she seemed to be enjoying the music. He hoped his playing was good enough for her.

(Lizzys POV)

She was in shock and in such a mix of complex emotions; she wished she had her Jane by her to hold onto as she thought she might pass out. The band was truly amazing, she couldn't believe that Steve and Dave, the guys she laughed and chatted with, and Charlie, Jane's perfect boyfriend, were in her favourite band of all time and they were complementing her at the local open mike night in Longbourne. Lizzy felt like she had stepped into an alternative universe! And that the guitar playing that made her want to weep was played by that hateful man! By the end of the concert Lizzy couldn't cope any more she had to go back to her Jane, she needed some moral and physical support.

The band came off stage as they had finished their set and the crowd were screaming for an encore. Charlie went straight up to Jane and gave her a passionate kiss. Will walked over to Lizzy, sweat pouring down his face which he was rubbing with a towel. "What do you think Lizzy, do you like our band?" he asked excitedly and looked deep into her eyes hoping for approval.

"It was amazing" Lizzy said truthfully staring back into his deep brown eyes seeing the fire in them

"You are a very passionate, talented band"

"Thank you that means a lot, that approve of us".

"Well who wouldn't approve of your work, it's even better live than on CD and I wouldn't have thought that could have been improved upon!"

"You are familiar with our work Lizzy?" Will asked.

"Yes you are actually my favourite band of all time, I just didn't realise as I have never had the chance to see you live before and I never pay attention to who is in the bands I love" she whispered and blushed as she said it.

"Come on Will the fans are waiting for their encore" shouted Steve.

"I'm coming" Will shouted back. He was reluctant to leave Lizzy, usually they couldn't drag him away from the stage! After the encore Will came back and sat with Lizzy and they talked passionately about the music, until Charlie interrupted them to invite Lizzy and Jane to the after show party. Lizzy felt suddenly shy around the band. These had been the guys she had laughed and joked with before and then she had discovered who they were. She was a bit in awe. She gave herself a good talking to, not to be silly they were still the same guys were before, she just was in awe of their talent. She agreed to go mainly for Jane's sake as she knew she would want to be with Charlie as Lizzy would love nothing more than to escape and collect her thoughts after this crazy night. Her thoughts on a certain Will were also confused especially after what George Wickham had said about him. With the way he played tonight I think the band would have picked him to be in the band anyway. Although I am sure George would have been the friendlier happier person for the stage. Did Will really sabotage Georges audition? Why would Will have to sabotage anyone audition when he could play like that! Is there something more to this story. Although she could believe that Will could be rude and proud, he would have a big enough head to believe in his greatness and so not even think about cheating to obtain his goal. Lizzy was going on an account of a man she had known five minutes who was friendly and charming, against a man who was rude, proud and cold. No wonder she had believed the formers story straightaway (even though Joe had a bad feeling about him) just because Will had been so disagreeable. She did not really trust her judgement either way but maybe she had been a bit quick to judge against Will until she obtained more evidence. She was a scientist for goodness sake and should weigh up the facts. Will had been much nicer to her recently, possibly because of his friend's relationship with her sister. If only there was a way to find out the truth for sure. Lizzy would be happy to find out that Will was innocent for Charlie's and the bands sake but then she would be sad if the lovely George Wickham was not the charming man she thought he was.

The party was in full swing when they arrived and as usual, many women were fawning over Will. Lizzy went to get a drink and slipped out the nearest exit (which was a balcony overlooking the city), deeply inhaled the cold winter air and pondered everything that had occurred of late, she sighed and a rich deep voice behind her exclaimed how beautiful the lights of the city looked in a heartfelt wistful way. "Yes it is beautiful" as she turned around to look at Will.

"Not as beautiful as you" Will whispered shyly. Lizzy stared at him in astonishment and questioned him "what did you say?" as she thought she must have misheard him.

"I said that the lights were not as beautiful as you were" and before he knew it the following words tumbled out of his mouth "Lizzy you must know that I am crazy about you, ever since I first saw you and arrogantly summoned you over to my table, which you quite rightly refused and I haven't been able to stop thinking about you. You have put me in my place and humbled me and made me a better man and I really like you . I would really love to spend more time with you, I would like to be with you".

Lizzy couldn't cope, this night just got crazier and crazier and in reply she stated "Well I am not crazy about you, I don't even know what to make of you. Just because you are an amazing guitarist and I was impressed with the band doesn't mean that you can claim me as a prize like all your other women in there. I'm sorry but you should know the truth. I have to go, I don't quite feel myself" and with that she left the balcony, the house and ran out onto the street and luckily found a taxi rank close by. She went to Jane's (as she had a spare key) and then phoned her to let her know that she was alright but she needed to leave as she had a terrible headache (which was not a lie as she did after everything that had happened) and that Jane should stay over and enjoy herself and that she would be fine. Jane kept saying she would come back to the flat, but Lizzy managed to convince her that she would be okay she just needed to go to bed.

(Wills POV)

Back at the party Will was mortified! He didn't get rejected by women; in fact he never usually told them what his feelings were. But he had never felt this way about anyone before and she thought nothing of him, I guess it served him right.

Will decided he couldn't face seeing anyone for the rest of the night, made his apologies to Charlie and the rest of the band and left the party. While Will was saying goodbye to Charlie, Jane noticed that something was not quite right about him. He looked very weary, not just in a tired way but as if he had been beaten down. Was this something to do with her sister's disappearance from the party?

Will headed straight back to his home and picked up his guitar and started composing a new song, perhaps the most melon collie tune he had ever written, probably because he had never felt this low before. It was a tune he would probably never play in public. It would just remind him of how Lizzy rejected him. He then realised he had to pull himself together and try and be a better person and then maybe he could hope that she would want to be his friend. He thought after tonight he could never hope for more, he could never be good enough for her, he just never realised it before, too big headed. Well he had learnt his lesson. They were off on tour soon. He would do his best to show her he had become a better person before they left and hopefully she would see a marked change in him when they came back.
