A/N: Thank you to those who reviewed my story. Without you guys I would not be continuing this story. I have a feeling that the story won't make sense, but that's just me. Anyway, without further ado, the next chapter.
Made For Each Other
Chapter 2 – The Aftermath
"Mr. Bennet! Mr. Bennet! We had such a wonderful time! Mr. Bingley danced two sets with Jane, and Mr. Darcy! Oh! Mr. Darcy is such a charming man! He danced two sets with Lizzy! Lady Lucas was so jealous. They only danced one set with Charlotte. Jane and Lizzy shall be the talk of Meryton!"
"I am curious about this Mr. Darcy. Can you send Lizzy in, my dear?"
"Of course Mr. Bennet!" She left the room yelling for Elizabeth.
"Yes, Papa?"
"Tell me about your Mr. Darcy."
"He is hardly my Mr. Darcy, Papa. Besides, I doubt he would actually marry me. I do like him but I have nothing. I don't have a large dowry and we don't have any connections. He wouldn't marry me."
Mr. Bennet noted that his favourite daughter looked really sad.
"My dear, let us talk further tomorrow. Sleep well, Lizzy."
He kissed her forehead and left the room. Elizabeth sat there thinking of the man who made her feel like everything. No one has ever supported her like he did. I was luck that he came to Hertfordshire. She couldn't hope for anything else but friendship. She could only be a friend to him. One day, he would find someone that is richer and more beautiful. He would marry that woman and have a society wife he loved and would be proud of, instead of a country wife with nothing to recommend themselves. She couldn't do that to him. He deserves so much more than that. Elizabeth let out a sob and ran upstairs to her room to cry. It pained her to know that she could never have him. She cried for what seemed like eternity and fell asleep.
As they were on the road to Netherfield, all Fitzwilliam could think about was the beautiful woman with the enchanting eyes. He never believed in love at first sight until now. He would marry her tomorrow if it was possible, but he couldn't do that to Elizabeth. She deserves so much more.
'Aunt Sophia would like her very much. I dare say Aunt Catherine would like her too. She would test her first though. I would have to tell Elizabeth to not believe a word Aunt Catherine says. I can't wait to see Elizabeth again… My Beth.'
He didn't care about what his family, save Georgiana, would say about Elizabeth. He would still marry her. Just thinking about Elizabeth made him giddy and happy. He couldn't imagine a life without her and he hoped that she felt the same. He couldn't bare it if she loved and married someone else. He would try to win her affection and they would live happily together for as long as they live.
Elizabeth woke up early, as usual, and set out on her morning walk. Her eyes were still red from crying last night.
When she reached Oakham Mount, she noticed Fitzwilliam sitting on her log. He looked up and a big smile lit up his face, but when he saw her eyes, he became concerned. He walked to her and tried to pull her into his embrace. She pulled back and he stopped.
"Elizabeth? What is wrong? Did your mother say something again?"
"No, she didn't…"
"Elizabeth, you are frightening me. Will you not tell me what is upsetting you?"
She shook her head. Her eyes were starting to water and she looked down.
"Please, tell me what is wrong Elizabeth. I can help you. Please."
"I cannot."
"Why not? Have I done something to upset you?"
"No, you have not upset me."
"Then what? I cannot bear to see you like this. It breaks my heart to see you cry."
"You need not concern yourself with me Mr. Darcy."
"Mr. Darcy? I asked you to call me Fitzwilliam last night. Surely you remember."
"I do, but…"
"But what Elizabeth?"
"Nothing. Good day Mr. Darcy."
He was about to say something but she ran away.
"Elizabeth…"
He slowly walked to Netherfield with the intention of spending the day in his room.
A/N: So there's another chapter! It might seem a bit confusing, but I am trying my best. I started two other stories – not yet posted. The other two are not Pride & Prejudice. Instead, they are Harry Potter ones, so check 'em out! I kind of want to change the title. If you have any suggestions, I am open to any ideas you have. Message them to me and I will decide what to do then. Thanks!
