Title: You Scream (1/1)
Series: Labors of Love
Sequel to: Eerie Feelings
Author: Chelli
Disclaimer: Spike, Molly, and the other characters in the WWF belong to (guess who) THE WWF!!! And I kinda "borrowed" the first line for this story from the book, "Love in the Time of Cholera," by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. That type of book isn't my usual reading material, but it's a good book, and I gotta try something new every now and then : )
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Molly goes to an ice cream shop…
Author's Note: Kinda short. Dramatic. Deal with it.
= thoughts, ** = emphasis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was inevitable: the scent of an ice cream shop always reminded her of the fate of unrequited love. Of course, at one time she thought her feelings might be returned. After all, he had given up so much to save her; his favorable standing with his brothers, his body so that hers might be protected, and, she had one thought, his heart, for her to cherish. But then… then he had broken hers.
Molly sighed. She wasn't used to having such depressing thoughts. She was always 'the cheerful one.' But today it was as if she had been renamed 'what's wrong with her?' Finally, after seven people had told her she wasn't being herself that day, she decided to take Lita's advice to shamelessly molest her two friends, Ben and Jerry. However, she declined having anyone go with her. She was going to get this out of her system, and she was gonna do it without anyone's help.
Well, she could have used Spike's help. She would have gotten over him faster if he had spread rumors about her, or said mean things to her, or threatened her, or *something*! But no. Instead, he had just been around; never really nearby, but not exactly far away either. And more than once, she had caught him staring at her with a look akin to longing in his eyes. It can't be that, she thought to herself. If he *wanted* you, he wouldn't have dumped you!
Footsteps behind her jerked her out of her thoughts. She suddenly became ultra aware of her surroundings. She was in the middle of a big city, at night, without anything she could protect herself with (besides her ability to wrestle, which she knew in this situation might actually come in handy). She had to keep herself from quickening her pace. I don't want whoever is behind me to know that I know they're there. When she saw the ice cream shop, its bright lights appearing like a beacon to her, she gave into temptation to run… only to have her hand grabbed from behind. She did the only thing she could think of at the moment; she screamed.
END

so, what do you think? This time I have a plan, and I've already begun writing the next one: ) but I don't know if I should bother finishing it… b/c, I mean, if you guys don't like it, then theres no point…
