Chapter 9:
The two young ponies were on their way to the tree home after the movie. Alys walked close to her date and listened to him intently as he spoke. She didn't know how she was able to meet such an amazing pony, but she didn't care, she couldn't be happier.
They soon came up to the house and ascended the stairs to the door. Alys turned to say goodnight.
"Thank you for the night. I don't think I've had that much for before ever!" She looked up to him with a shy, but happy face
"I should be the one saying thank you. You're the most amazing girl I've ever met." She blushed at his complement
She looked back up to him, finding him just staring at her, looking her over. The gaze made her slightly uncomfortable, reminding her of her past.
"You're so beautiful, I hope you know that."
She blushed again, "Thank you, but you know, you're not so bad looking yourself." She let out a little smirk
He grinned at this; and began slowly start to leaning in close to her.
She watched his eyes close lightly; then did the same.
After a short moment she felt his lips press lightly against hers. After another short moment she felt him began to pull away but she subconsciously took a step forward to continue the kiss.
She felt him smile lightly into her lips.
He broke the kiss briefly, then pushed back in for a small peck, then pulled away fully.
She opened her eyes and looked at him.
He just smiled back.
"Good night Alys." He stepped forward and gave her a small hug
"Good night." She whispered, and he turned and walked away
She watched him walk down the street until he turned a corner and she lost sight of him. She pressed her back against the door and let out a loud sigh.
She bit her bottom lip and smiled widely to herself. She sat there for a moment; then walked in the door.
When she entered the house she found Twilight abnormally close to the window.
Alys looked her over and noticed the creepy, large smile she wore.
She was about to open her mouth to say something when Twilight started squealing, hopping towards her.
She made it back two steps before the purple pony got her. She forced Alys to hop with her with her tight embrace.
"OH MY GOD!" She squealed, "I so saw that! Don't you think about denying it!" She hopped around a bit more before she let Alys go.
Alys looked at her with a wide smile, "Well you saw it, so I don't have to explain it."
"I also saw how you kept that going! Your first kiss and you're already so experienced! They grow up so fast don't they?"
Alys just gave an awkward smile, thinking about the multiple kisses Hayden gave her, and started up the stairs.
"I'll let you go for now, but I do want to hear the whole story later!" Twilight shouted up the steps
Alys shook her head and smiled as she surfaced the second floor and approached her room. She opened the door and turned on the lights. Her eyes glanced around the room, half-way expecting him to be there, but he wasn't.
She entered and closed her door. She walked across the room to her dresser; she took off her bracelets and grabbed her brush.
She looked at herself, daydreaming, as she bushed out the small knots from her mane.
"He's so amazing; I can't believe I got to meet such an awesome pony. And he's so hot! Wow! And he kissed me!" She squealed, "I have to be the luckiest girl in the world!" She pressed her brush against her chest, and continued to daydream.
After a minute she let out a sigh and opened her eyes. She jumped when she saw Hayden sitting behind her in the mirror.
She turned and looked at him.
He was looking in her direction, but not at her. He was looking beyond her, at nothing, just thinking, looking into his thoughts.
She watched him for a second. He held no expression whatsoever, his eyes just staring blankly at nothing.
After a moment he came back and turned to look at her.
She gave him a cautious, curious look, furrowing her brows a bit.
She looked him over once more, and turned to the bathroom. She heard him follow her as she grabbed some leave-in conditioner from her shelf.
She wanted to say something, but didn't really know what to say.
She rubbed the cream into her mane and turned to walk out. He was just sitting near the door watching her. She turned to him again, studying his expression.
His face was blank for the most part, but his eyes told a story she recognized all too well. He was hurt.
She looked at him, not sure how to react. Why was he hurting? Did he want her to comfort him?
She started opening her mouth, when his eyes shot over to her. The look in his eyes had left, his expression was now blank. He just looked at her.
She winced under his intense gaze, but walked over to him.
"Do you want to talk?" she whispered
His eyes never broke contact with hers, "Is there anything to say?" His voice held an element she didn't recognize.
"Are you ok, what's wrong?" He looked away when sympathy hit her face hard.
He let out a chuckle, though that too held little emotion in it.
She was slightly taken back by the gesture.
He stood up and looked back to her. His eyes returned to the painful gaze.
He started back across the floor towards her window, but stopped just short of it by a few feet.
She started to walk over to him, surprised he didn't just bolt out.
He turned his head a bit where she could see his profile. He grinned a bit, but it faded quickly.
"Alys," He turned his head further to look at her, "I love you."
Turning back around, he hopped out the widow and was lost to the night.
Her eyes widened when she understood the words.
She walked over to the window and scanned the sky for him, but had no luck.
Resting her head on the sill of her window, she looked up to the moon.
Guilt washed over as she understood his pain. "I'm so sorry."
She decided to leave her window open for the night, and crawled into bed.
"He loves me…he loves me and I hurt him. How am I supposed to react around him? He kidnapped me, he shows up in my room through my window. He's just so…I don't even know. How should I feel about him? I want to trust him, but I don't know if I can. Maybe we just met under bad circumstances."
She sighed and closed her eyes. "I don't want to hurt him…I wonder if I will ever see him again. I should be friendlier next time we met, if we met."
She opened her eyes once more and looked up to the moon.
"Good night, Hayden."
