After the launch
I went to the football train, trying to control mind and avoid negative thoughts about what happened in the morning. That was really difficult and I couldn't play with the team with my full performance. Of course they noticed. How could I hide my pain and suffering from them? If they were getting bigger and bigger inside me. All I wanted in that moment was Brittany in my arms. Holding her tight to never let her go away from me. Probably that would never happen. I would never have her in my arms.
I stopped for while to take a breath and Ryan came to talk to me.
"Hey, Al, are you alright?" He asked, a little worried with his 'secret weapon'.
"I am fine." I didn't need to share my pain with everyone.
"Are you sure about that?" He wondered. "You don't look like yourself today."
"I know..." I wanted to hide from him what I am going thorough. "I am really giving my best..."
"I know, Al." Ryan said, with a calm voice. "I heard the Chipettes will leave soon to American Idol."
"Yeah, they are lucky." I faked a smile.
"Why don't spent some time with your friend, Brittany. I will talk to the couch." He smiled at me. "I bet she will cheer you up."
"I wished she would do that..." I couldn't stand to that conversation. I just left the field.
She was my world. Everything to me. Without her, I am nothing. Without her, my jokes and pranks aren't funny at all. I need her. I want her. Now I just pushed her away from me forever. She used to light my day.
I left the football field a bit earlier because of Ryan. So I started my lonely walking to my home.
I just needed her with me. How will I recover my courage to talk to her again? How? She will only say that she hates me and does not want to talk and see me again. I should try to prove that she means a lot to me. I don't know how, maybe I lost her forever. We build so much memories together. Because of Simon, of course, I gave her a gift from Valentine's Day. I never forgot her reaction or her words.
I knew it that I had to give the girl I like something on Valentine's Day. I was so afraid to give something and didn't get anything back. Okay, that was a small fear. The biggest one was she didn't like what I would give to the girl I like. I really hate the idea of making her mad in that day. That was the last thing I would do it. However I didn't have a clue about what to give her, or money. I did what my brothers did to their best friends at that time. Valentine's Cards. I did a simple card, writing her name in pink, inside of a red heart. And the words in red below the heart: To my Best Friend. And a couple of hearts around it. It was very simple but she loved, her reaction was:
"Alvin, that is beautiful! I didn't expect this from you!"
Then she hugged me. That hug. (A tear rolls on my face) That hug was so special for me. She was truly happy with that card. And she did one for me. Very beautiful. We spent all the day together. I really wanted that moment for life.
I felt some tears on my face. I can't help it. That was a really beautiful memory. I have been walking alone for some minutes. I heard some walking, far way from me. I turn around to see who was it. I saw a silhouette of a chipette who I really hope to be Brittany, although the chances to be her was really low.
The chipette run in my direction. When she was closer, I could see who was it. It was Jeanette.
"Jeanette?" I asked.
"Alvin." She replied.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, a little defensive.
"Can I ask the same thing?" She gave the my question.
"Hey, I asked first." I said, annoyed. She would not give up. "Okay, I needed sometime alone."
"I understand." She looked down.
"So why are you here?" Then I noticed we were walking together to my home.
"Simon asked me to give you some advice." She replied, softly.
"So what is the advice?" I wondered.
"Britt saw your remorse." She started speaking. "Don't worry, just be honest with her and she will listen to you."
"Are you sure about that?" I asked, I really doubt she would listen to what I have to say.
"Just open your heart, okay." She looked me in the eyes.
"Okay, I will try my best." I said, sadly.
We arrived at home with an annoying silence. I saw Dave's car in the garage. Everyone was at home. Jeanette entered first and run to Simon to probably tell him what she told me. As I entered in the house. I saw Theodore and Eleanor in the kitchen, preparing something to eat with Dave. Simon was watching TV, now with Jeanette. I look around, trying find her. When I passed through the kitchen, I looked at Dave and he said to me.
"She is in the bedroom." Dave said, looking at me. "Asking for you."
That's it. I will have to talk to her, earlier then I thought. Let's see what will happen.
I am sorry it is short, but I am trying to finish this story and Fallin' for You until next Sunday (14th).
I hope you like.
Thanks for reading. Review please.
PS: the last chapter of one of the stories will have a special latter for you, reader.
