Disclaimer: I do not own The Lost Boys, only Ali/Alison.
There are only 3 and a half hour until the New Year. I hope everyone is having a great time.
I also wanted to let everyone know that there is probably going to be about three more chapters. I think I've gone on long enough with this story and all of you have been fantastic with your reviews but I'm having more writers block than usual and I don't want to keep going and the story end up going down the drain. But here is the next chapter and it's longer than usual. ENJOY!
Chapter 21
The next week was a pretty quiet one…well quiet as in nothing from James. I didn't know if that was a good or a bad thing. Paul was just happy that he didn't have to kill anyone besides someone to feed off of. David, Marco, and Dwayne didn't seem to care either way. I just know that I was tired of his attitude and rudeness after two days.
Lee would pop up every now and then and we would talk and catch up a little. It was nice to have him back around but honestly, things were not the same as they were between us back in the day.
I know that had to bother him a little bit but we are both different now. I'm not the same girl who kept to the shadows to be near my brother without him knowing I was there or the girl who listened and followed Max as best as I could. I now not only have my brother but two more, an amazing mate that I love so deeply, and Max is no longer a part of my life. I'm more confident and happy then I ever was back then.
Lee who was lost trying to find his brothers and only had me is now the head vampire of a group of five others…well maybe four since James wasn't changed by him.
I know he still wants us to be really close and I want to but I don't think we ever will.
"Hello? Earth to Ali!"
I snap out of my thoughts with Paul waving his hand in my face.
"Huh?" He chuckles at me, "We're here, do you plan on coming with us or do you want to stay with the bikes all night?"
I look around and sure enough we were at the boardwalk, parked. I let out a small giggle, "Sorry, I was lost in my thoughts." "I can tell, come on."
I take his out stretched hand as he helps me off of our bike.
We walk around for a little bit and end up at the carousel. I couldn't help but mentally laugh at them. For big tough guys they sure do seem to love this ride. We hope on and walk around it. David up front followed by Dwayne, Paul, myself, and then Marco.
It's actually been quite a while since the last time I've rode this and honestly…it's pretty fun especially with these four. Dwayne and Paul were jumping around laughing, shaking some of the horses. I laughed watching them.
I look ahead to see my big brother rubbing the cheek of some blonde who is sitting next to I guess her boyfriend. When he notices David touching her he pushes David and starts yelling at him. David starts to walk away so the guy grabs a hold of Dwayne's jacket which ends up breaking a pushing/punching/yelling fight between the guys and him.
The girl and I try to pull them apart but that's when her boyfriend notices me and tries to reach out for me but that's when the rides bell rings and stops. I look to see a fat security guard with his night stick around David's neck.
"I thought I told you to stay off of the boardwalk?" We all just continue to look at him.
"Ok boys…lets go," David tells us and the guard pushes him away. We hope off but not before I hear the guard also tell the guy and girl to get off the boardwalk as well.
Paul wraps an arm around my shoulders, "He didn't touch you did he?" I shake my head, "No, the ride stopped before he…"
But before I could finish my sentence I'm being pulled away from Paul from behind. I turn to see the same guy from the carousel.
Paul hisses, "Get your hands off of her." Saying that caught the attention of the boys and they turned around and quickly got next to Paul.
"What? You think ya'll can touch my girl but I can't touch yours?" He runs a hand down my leg and brings it back up. Right before he touches my ass, the guys jump on him breaking his grip on me.
Once I'm loose they break apart. "I'll see you soon sweetheart." He calls out to me as we continue to watch him. That's when I notice that his girlfriend was there about ten feet behind him. Did he really just grab and touch me like that with her right there? Jerk.
"Sooner than you think," Both Paul and I say together as he walks away.
I look up at Paul and see that look in his eyes. I know that me and him were going to go after them together.
"Well that was fun," Marco states. We all look at him and roll our eyes, "Yeah, it was a blast," I say sarcastically.
I look back up at Paul, "So later?" He smirks down at me, "You bet babe," and kisses my temple.
As we start to walk back towards the bike is when I feel those eyes on me. I look around but like usual I don't see anyone watching me. I'm seriously getting tired of this and so ready for them to show their face. Ignoring it, I continue to walk with my arm around Paul.
Later, David goes to get the fat security guard because he's pissed him off for the last time by kicking him off the boardwalk…again.
Paul and I go after couple from the boardwalk. We find them living in a car in the middle of a field; we can hear her laughing right before Paul rips the roof of the car off and snatches up the guy. I go after his girlfriend while she screams bloody murder. I've ever had such a loud one before. I couldn't help but laugh before I grab her and sink my teeth into her neck.
Paul and I usually don't go out as a couple to feed, its either myself or everyone but I have to say…this was nice.
One Week Later
It's open mic night and I'm really excited. I've been so anxious to sing this song ever since I wrote it.
After getting dressed I skip out into the main room. Tonight I'm wearing a red tank top, dark skinny jeans, black knee high boots and leather jacket.
"Wow someone definitely is in a great mood," I smile at Marco's words and nod, "Paul gave it to you that good huh?" I stop in my tracks and glare at him, "Really Marco?"
He shrugs his shoulders, "Why else would you be all happy and bouncing around first thing after waking up?" "Maybe because I'm excited about tonight and can't wait for everyone to hear this song."
Realization hit him and he mouths oh. "Exactly…and not that it matters but yes Paul did," I giggle at him.
"I did what?" Paul says coming behind me from the tunnel, I turn when his arms wrap around me, "Hi you," I give him a kiss, "You were amazing last night." He gets that cocky look on his face, "You were too babe."
As he leans in to kiss me again I hear some gagging noises behind me. I roll my eyes to see Marco and Dwayne covering their mouths like they are going to be sick. "Grow up you two," I tell them before turning back to kiss Paul.
"Ok love birds, let's get going." David chuckles as he heads outside.
When we arrive at the boardwalk I leave the guys to make sure everything is all set up with the band.
"Hey Adrian, everything ready for tonight?" He smiles at me, "Sure is, we can't wait since this is different than your other songs, not as rocky." I nod, "I know. I'm excited."
"Well we start in fifteen so we need to tune up. If you already didn't know by now your last like usual." I smile, "Thanks I know."
I turn to walk away from the stage when I feel a set of small arms wrap themselves around me. I look down to see the culprit and giggle when I see that its Lilli. "Hi sweetie, you act like you haven't seen me in forever."
She releases me and giggles, "I'm just so excited to hear you sing tonight since you didn't do it last time." I ruffle her hair a little bit. I look up and see Rosie making her way towards us.
"Hey Rosie."
"Hey someone gave this to me saying someone told them to give it to me to give to you."
She hands me a black rose with a small envelope. Strange, why would someone give me a black rose? I open up the envelope and take out the small card.
Ali,
Good luck tonight, I'll be watching like always.
See you soon.
I feel myself start to shake a little. Who the hell did this? It couldn't be…
"Ali, is everything ok?" I look up at Rosie and Lilli to see worried looks on their faces. I put on a fake smile, "Yeah, I just need to find Paul…Um I'll see ya'll later." They nod slowly as I rush past them.
I found the guys a couple minutes later talking with Lee and his boys minus James.
David is the first to notice me and elbows Paul. They all get worried looks on their face and Paul rushes to me.
"What's wrong? Are you ok?" I shake my head, "Someone gave this to someone else to give to Rosie to give to me…" I hand the rose and note over to him. I watch as anger fills his eyes as he reads the note. My brothers and Lee come up to see what's going on. Paul hands the card to David and Marco and Dwayne read over his shoulder.
"What's going on?" Lee asks, "Someone trying to screw with Ali," Paul hisses. He explains to Lee about how I've been feeling someone watch me for the past few weeks.
"Don't worry Ali, nothing is going to happen to you, you have us ok," David tries to comfort me. "Us too Ali," Lee tells me.
"Thanks." I look up at Paul, "Can you walk me back to the stage, I have to go on soon." He nods, "Of course," he turns to look at David, "I'll find you in the crowd."
We start to walk back, "Don't worry babe, I won't let anyone ever hurt or touch you." I nod, "I know, thanks."
When we get to the stage he gives me a kiss, "You're going to do great. I'll see you afterwards ok?" "Ok, I love you." He gives me that sexy smile I love, "I love you most babe."
After a kiss goodbye I walk over to Eddy, "Hey Ali are you ready for tonight?" I try not to think about the whole note thing and smile, "Sure am." "Good, Adrian told me how this one is different. Can't wait to hear it." "Thanks."
The last performer finishes up their song and Eddy does the usual introduction for me. When he's done the crowd goes wild and I head up on stage. I find my boys plus Lee and his right away. Lilli and Rosie are right in the front, Lilli starts waving at me with so much excitement. I giggle at the small girl.
When the music starts I get that feeling again but I shake it off as I start to sing.
I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time I was here I want to say I lived each day, until I died I was here I was here I just want them to know I was here I was here I was here
Know there was something that, meant something that I left behind
When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember, so they won't forget
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here
And know that I meant something in, somebody's life
The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave
That I made a difference, and this world will see
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here
That I gave my all, did my best
Brought someone some happiness
Left this world a little better just because
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I wanna leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here
I lived (I lived), I loved
I was here
I did (I did), I've done
I was here
I lived (I lived), I loved (I loved)
I was here (oh)
I did, I've done
When I finish the crowd goes nuts. Even all the boys were. David gives me wink that says You did awesome sis. I turn to give the band my thanks. They all pat me on the back telling me I was great.
I walk off stage to find Paul already waiting on me. He sweeps me up in his arms and spins me around. "That was amazing babe." I giggle, "Really?" "Totally."
Soon the rest of the guys are with us telling me how great I was.
I was so happy that they all loved it.
Soon we all head back to our place, even Lee and his boys join us. It was like a huge celebratory party for me.
Currently Paul and I were making out on the couch.
"This tape is done; do ya'll have anymore music anywhere?" Duncan asks. I break from Paul, "I have one, I'll be right back." I head to my room and look on the shelves for the mix tape.
Right when I find it, hands cover my eyes, I smile thinking that it's Paul. "You know if I don't go back out there with this tape, they will come in here looking for us."
His lips get close to my ear and tells me the thing I least expected, "I told you I would see you soon."
My dead heart starts racing, this is definitely not Paul…it's…holy shit.
I go to scream for Paul, but a hand covers my mouth muffling my screams.
They turn me around and I'm faced with someone I never expected…
Dun dun dun…hope you love the cliffhanger. Nah, I bet ya'll hate it and are screaming at me to hurry up with the next chapter. (: Remember to review. The more reviews I get, the sooner I'll update.
The song is I Was Here by Beyonce I do not own it!
