Disclaimer: SwanDestiny does not own the 39 clues. Otherwise she would've aknowledged Sinead's existence in the Unstoppable series. They mentioned a Starling! That didn't even ring a bell for Amy! She was like, "OMG, A STARLING!" and didn't even think about Sinead!
SwanDestiny: This is it readers... This is the final chapter of Trapped.
Why is that?
This story isn't as popular as my other stories.
Trapped was also orignally a one-shot... what did you expect?
Also, I just want to move on to other stories. I like working on stories one at a time or two at a time. Not that How It Started is really active right now...
Anyways, I just want to quickly wrap this up.
Hope you enjoy this last chapter!
It was a moonlit night in a cold December. The stars danced in the sky, twirling and twinkling brightly.
The snow danced in a winter ballet, prancing and dazzling in the dark sky.
An 18 year-old Sinead huffed as she knocked on her boyfriend's door.
She came from states away to visit him.
This better be good, Sinead thought, what does he have to say to me that he couldn't say to me on screen?
Her boyfriend answered the door and beamed when he saw her.
"Hey..."
"Sinead!"
"I missed you, Hamilton."
Hamilton's blond hair was somewhat messed up, but Sinead found it cute. His sky-blue eyes shone despite the darkness of night. His lips were really tempting her to kiss him.
Hamilton enveloped Sinead into a hug as she rested her head on his shoulder, her arms snaking around his neck.
"I missed you too."
The snow started to fall rapidly around them, but Sinead didn't care.
She found enough warmth and strength in Hamilton's arms.
Hamilton cleared his throat, "Um, can I talk to you about something?"
Is this the reason he wanted me to come over?
What is it?
Hamilton tightly gripped Sinead's hand as he led her outside to a bench near his home.
"Sinead..."
And if this were a movie, then the romantic music would've started.
"I've been your boyfriend for a whole year now, and it was the best year of my life. And I just wanted to let you know..." Hamilton trailed off as Sinead knodded, butterflies fluttering in her stomach.
Did he meet a new girl? Someone more like him?
Is this his way of breaking up with me?
Sinead felt as if her world was slowly tearing apart.
Why would Hamilton leave me? Sinead remembered, mad at herself for not having faith in her love.
"I'll always be with you Sinead. I promise we'll never be broken apart..."
Her heart lifted as Sinead looked to Hamilton. Then a smile slowly formed on her lips.
She knew her one true love was Hamilton. Sinead never should have doubted him.
It was never love at first sight. As Sinead slowly learned about Hamilton, she couldn't help but fall for him (and his looks).
And when he saved her...
Sinead had to agree.
This year has been the best year of her life.
By now, Sinead and Hamilton were mere inches apart.
"And..."
Hamilton fell to his knees, reaching into his pocket as he took out a velvet box.
"Please be with me forever." Hamilton said, his voice full of hope. "Please stay with me until the very end."
Hamilton gently opened the case of the box, a shining dazzling diamond revealed on a thin line of gold, glinting and glimmering in the moonlight.
Sinead held her breath.
Say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...
"Isn't 18 a bit young to get married?" Sinead blurted out, her hands flying to her mouth as her eyes widened with horror.
Great one, great one. Real romantic, Sinead.
Oh no... What did I do?
Hamilton remained motionless.
Why?
Why did I have to be so stupid?
Then he burst out laughing.
"This is a promise ring, Sinead," He said. "Just promise me if you'll always be with me, no matter what."
For a moment Sinead was speechless.
Her heart was beating as loud as thunder, pounding it's way out of her chest. Her head felt dizzy, like any moment she could collapse.
This was real.
It was better than dreams.
Then she pratically threw herself onto Hamilton, her lips crashing onto Hamilton.
At first Hamilton seemed to be paralyzed with shock before he started to kiss her back.
A moment later they broke apart for breath.
"I take that as a yes?" Hamilton asked, chuckling to himself.
"Yes..." Sinead said softly, moving so that she was sitting on his lap.
"I love you, Sinead." Hamilton said, slipping the ring onto Sinead's finger.
"I love you too."
Hamilton sat on the couch nearest to the door.
He's been waiting hours for a knock on the door so that he could fling open the door and kiss his girlfriend.
I miss Sinead.
He sighed.
At this rate, it seemed like she would never get here.
Is she actually going to come?
And then there was a knock on the door. At first, Hamilton couldn't tell if it was real or his dream.
Hamilton raced to the door.
"Hey..."
The door opened to reveal Sinead.
She looked stunning.
Her wavy auburn hair cascaded down to the middle of her back, longer than the last time he saw her. Her green eyes glowed with happiness, so that Hamilton could look at them all day and not get bored. Her red lips were twisted in a small smile.
Hamilton smiled.
"Sinead!"
"I missed you, Hamilton."
Hamilton couldn't help but smile even wider at her words and her beautiful, melodic voice.
Hamilton pulled Sinead into a hug.
"I missed you too."
The feeling of Sinead in his arms was exhilerating. Hamilton felt like he was in the sky, free and flying above the clouds.
Should I tell her?
Or should I just give up on it?
Hamilton swallowed up his fear and took Sinead's hand into his own.
He walked her towards a bench near his house as they both sat on it, enjoying each other's company.
"Sinead..."
It's now, or never.
"I've been your boyfriend for a whole year now, and it was the best year of my life. And I just wanted to let you know..."
Hamilton felt himself sink into a deep hole. How could he do this?
What would Sinead think?
Suddenly Hamilton remembered when he and Sinead first met, and their rivalry during the clue-hunt.
Memories of hurting Sinead flashed back at him.
Then the memories changed.
Sinead was lying on the ground, helpless, as Hamilton took her into his arms.
Their confessions of love replayed in their mind, and then their first kiss afterwards.
He has to do this.
Hamilton shook his head, clearing the doubt in his voice and his heart.
"I'll always be with you Sinead. I promise we'll never be broken apart..." He said, prepared for rejection from Sinead.
Why would Sinead reject me? There's no reason. She's loyal to me. We love each other.
After reminding himself of that, Hamilton was able to continue on.
"I'll always be with you Sinead. I promise we'll never be broken apart..."
There was a moment of silence before a sweet and small smile fluttered onto Sinead's lips.
It lightned his heart to see her smile.
"And..."
Hamilton fell to his knees and Sinead seemed to let out a small gasp.
He felt like all his practiced lines were lost.
He didn't need them anyways.
All Hamilton needed was Sinead and her love.
Hamilton dropped to his knees, fumbling with the box in his pocket for a moment before finding it and presenting it to Sinead.
"Please be with me forever," Hamilton started, pausing before saying, "Please stay with me until the very end."
Hamilton swung the lid open to show an expensive ring.
This was one of the times being rich helped.
Hamilton sucked in a breath, hoping Sinead would say yes and not reject him.
It was a moment before Sinead said:
"Isn't 18 a bit young to get married?"
Hamilton doubled back. He never thought of that! This must look like he was going to propose to her.
For the first time during this whole serious conversation, Hamilton laughed.
"This is a promise ring, Sinead," Hamilton said, continuing on, "Just promise me if you'll always be with me, no matter what."
It seemed to be a whole year before Sinead's face lit up and she lunged at him, tackling him into a kiss.
Hamilton was surprised at first, but then he started kissing her back before they broke apart, panting.
"I take that as a yes?"
"Yes..." Sinead moved onto his lap as he filled with warmth at her touch.
It meant so much to him.
Even though Hamilton had complete and utter faith that Sinead would never leave him, it seemed like a weight was lifted off his shoulders.
Hamilton slipped on the diamond ring as it glistened in the moonlight, even more radiant then the room, glittering on Sinead's finger.
Sinead's smile grew even bigger.
"I love you, Sinead."
"I love you too."
Sineads
The three magic words, the same thing Sinead said to him when they first got together.
"I'll always be with you, Hamilton." Sinead said sweetly.
"You're my only true home."
Hamilton wrapped his hands around Sinead, bringing her even closer (if that was possible).
"Same with me Sinead."
"I could only be with you."
And as the night wore on with Sinead in Hamilton's arm, both in each other's warmth, they knew that this moment, was perfect.
SwanDestiny: There's my Hamead story to you guys! Hoped you enjoyed this, even though it was really short.
I need a moment to thank everybody. Thank you all so much!
Sinead?
Sinead: I don't like Hamilton. Much less love him.
SwanDestiny: C'mon, you guys were meant for each other?
Hamilton: You mean that 'opposites attract' theory? Hmm... I don't think so.
SwanDestiny: Oh well -ties the two together- Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss I say!
Sinead: That was quick...
Hamilton: ...
And again, thank you guys so, so, much!
I probably will write another Hamead story in the future, and Jamy (I know a lot of people are Amians though...).
Bye!
