Sabrina frowned as her head constantly looked up and down from the map to the road, fearing that she would crash the rented car any second. On the passenger's seat were the photos and the address that Max had kindly given to her. Unfortunately, the photographer that Max had assigned to take photos of Sleepless In Seattle wasn't very good. The photos were either blurry or cut off. All Sabrina could find out from them were that Sleepless was a blonde and he had a frizzy-haired lady friend.
She almost squealed with joy when she finally reached her destination. She jumped out of her car and grabbed her handbag, stopping herself in front of the front door and raising her hand to knock on the door.
The sound of loud giggling stopped her. "DAD! Dad, the rope's still around the pole!"
"Oh, oh right. My bad," someone laughed.
The sound of an engine started soon after and Sabrina ran as fast as her heeled shoes would let her. Around the back of the house was a jetty and chugging away from the house was a boat carrying a man and a little boy. Damn, thought Sabrina miserably. She ran back to the car and turned it on, following the beach-side road and keeping an eye on the boat. The boat eventually stopped at a beach in front of a few fast-food joints, restaurants and gift shops. Sabrina parked at the fast-food joint nearest to the sea-side and hurried inside. She hurriedly ordered a meal then sat at a vacated spot near the window – watching Sleepless and his son with a small smile.
She couldn't see their faces – they were too far away. Sabrina could only tell that they seemed to be having the time of their lives, playing on the sand and chasing each other.
When she finished her meal, she exited the joint and walked slowly towards them. After a few steps, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Her feet stopped and squished themselves into the sand, her eyes followed their every move and her body stopped moving. After weeks of thinking about what she would say to them – she had gone completely blank.
"I just….I went completely blank," sighed Sabrina. "It was horrible."
"Don't tell me you actually went up to them, opened your mouth and didn't talk at all!"
"No, of course not! I just…I couldn't do it, Jess. I couldn't."
"But after everything we've gone over, everything we went through just to-"
"I know!" cried Sabrina, hugging her knees to her chest with one arm and holding the phone with the other. "I know," she lied down on the hotel bed and sighed, turning her head to look at the beach-side view. "Jess…"
"Yeah?"
Sabrina sighed deeply, "How did I get here?"
"You lied and got on a plane."
"That's not what I mean. I just…I feel so crazy. Going after this guy and getting my hopes up and-"
"You're not crazy, Sabrina," said Jess in a strict tone.
"I'm going to talk to him tomorrow," replied Sabrina in a confident tone.
"Okay. Good. Goodbye."
"Wait, Jess…"
"Huh?"
There was a moment's pause before Sabrina asked, "Is this crazy?"
"No, that's the weirdest part."
Sabrina cracked a smile, "Thank you. You're the best. Love you."
Sabrina heard her friend chuckle over the phone, "I know I'm the best. Love you too. Goodnight."
Here I am again, thought Sabrina. Going to walk across the road to Sleepless' house and damn it, I'm going to TALK to him!
She stopped suddenly when she saw a frizzy-haired lady approach the door to the house hurriedly and knocked on it. Almost instantly, Sleepless and his son appeared at the door and hugged the lady while laughing. And even though she was too far away to see his face, it wasn't hard to see that he was incredibly happy that the woman was there. He spun her around while the little boy jumped around them.
Is that her? Is that his lady friend?
A large horn snapped her out of her reverie and she looked around just in time to jump out the way of a moving truck. Sabrina's heart started pumping madly. She walked back to her car hurriedly and mentally slapped herself.
Puck had seen Sabrina walk out of the car, and walk a quarter-way across the road. He had seen her jump away quickly when the truck almost hit her and had almost gone over there and strangled her in a hug but she had sped off before he could say anything.
"Who was that?" asked Drake, in the arms of Mustardseed's wife, Sophia. Mustardseed came running over to them from the car, laden with home-made food courtesy of his wife.
Sophia looked at Puck meaningfully and faced Drake again, "No one, Drakey," she replied, knowing full well who Sabrina was.
The three adults and Drake entered the house.
End chapter. Alright, so I probably deserve a beating for this.
Its been aaagesss...and yes, I know its my fault. You readers have been waiting for ages and what do I give back? A short chapter. Yeah, you can beat me up again :(
I really am sorry about how long you guys have been waiting!
Okay, so next week is the school holidays *happy dance* so I may be able to finish Sleepless In Seattle once and for all.
I MIGHT have another sequel...but give me ideas! Haha, I've actually been thinking of Mamma Mia, probably because I love ABBA, but thats gonna be pretty hard. We all know who Sabrina's father is, so eh.
Any ideas anyone? Again, I really am sorry for this short chapter!
