Chapter 9
A Life Not Worth Wanting
Status: Part 3, 1/?
Reviewers: I'm taking my time to say thanks to everyone personally, instead of writing, so y'all owe me!!
Briesmile~ im not sure why I didnt use Duke Harry. I think I just liked the other name better. I know, Duke Harry may have sounded better, but I think Duke Harold is more proper, and it works.
Xirleb70~ don't flame urself! I like how you write, you just need to update! Yes, im looking whenever I can, hoping you have! Lol.
Kemenran- it was a little odd? Umm, ok. I guess. :-) As to what will happen next, you shall wait and see.
Child-of-the-Dawn- well, thanks and here's the next part!!!
Alexandria- thanks! Here's the part you've been waiting for!
A/N: Well, school's almost out (May 23 for me!!! lol), then im off to Tennessee for a few days, and then back to Ga for a week, then Missouri for a week, then back to Ga for most of the rest of the summer, except for the occasional trip to FL, or SC. I'm not sure how long it will take to get the rest of this story done, so please don't get mad if I don't get it done over the summer. Thanks for your support, and be on the lookout for the next chapter, which I hope to have atleast started before leaving for Tennessee.
Here We Go....
"Wake up!" Ali yelled annoyed, pounding on his door the next morning. Harry finally opened his eyes, and did what he was told to do. Ali sent in a couple of guys, who immediantly began to drag him out of bed, and together, the guys managed to help him to dress.
"Sophia!" one called, and a girl in a light blue dress appeared. "Yes, Ephram?" She responded, as the one called Ephram stepped forward. "We have finished dressing Duke Harold, and we need for your approval." Stepping aside, the two men awaited for her to respond, and when they saw her bright smile, they knew he was complete.
All of a sudden, Ali walks in, and frowned upon seeing Ephram, who just simply looks at her longingly. Harry watched the two, and realization hit. He smiled at the couple, and took a seat, waiting for Ali to speak.
"Oh, Harry. It's dreadful." Ali told him, shaking her head at the whole outfit. Smiling, she revealed a slightly different one, causing Harry to grin widely. The outfit was all black, with an emerald snake drawn on it, and Harry slipped it on. Ali squealed, and motioned for Harry to look in the mirror. It was him, there was no doubt about that. Ali smiled innocently, and told him to sit in a chair, and proceeded to stick his hair up into spikes.
"There." She said once she finished, and led Harry out of the room, and down the stairs.
As they stepped into the limo that was awaiting as they left the mansion, the driver smiled. And so it was a new look for Harry, and a new person for him to be.
*~*
As they arrived at the first party for Harry, Harry turned to Ali. "So, who's party is this?" He asked softly, as the limo pulled up to the curb.
"Duke Anthony Wisenhower has twin daughters, both are graduating from school tonight, so he's throwing a party to honor them. " Ali whispered, as the limo door opened, and Ali stepped out, flashes everywhere. She reached in the limo, and gently took Harry's hand, allowing him to come as well. A bunch of reporters started asking questions excitedly, thinking that Harry was her date.
"Princess! Who is this young man?" A reporter asked. Ali smiled. "A friend." was her reply, as they walked the red carpet to the inside of the castle.
The doorman smiled at the two, as they took the steps, and turned right, reaching the ballroom. As they entered, everyone turned and watched them. Ali smiled, and immediantly started to talk to twin girls, who were trying to hide.
"Hello there, Heidi. Long time no see, Helga." The two girls smiled, braces showing. Harry felt like he would be sick, but he still stayed quiet. "Thank you for coming, Princess Ali." They said in unison, as Harry made a face, whispering something to her. She snickered, hoping that the twins didnt notice. They didnt. Music began to play, and the twins were ushered onto the dance floor by old guys, so Harry turned to Ali. "Come on." He said gently, and together, they began to slow dance to "Isn't She Lovely"by Stevie Wonder.
"Isnt she lovely? Isn't she wonderful." Harry sang in her ear, causing her to burst out into laughter. "Harry, hun, you cant sing." And sure enough, he couldn't. The song ended, and Boys 2 Men came on, with "On Bended Knee."
1. And I....
Darling' I, I can't explain
Where did we lose our way
Girl it's driving' me insane
And I know I just need one more chance
To prove my love to you
If you come back to me
I'll guarantee
That I'll never let you go...
CHORUS:
Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be
Oh God give me the reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again, until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee
So many nights I dream of you
Holding my pillow tight
I know that I don't need to be alone
When I open up my eyes
To face reality
Every moment without you
It seems like eternity
I'm begging you, begging you come back to me
CHORUS:
Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be
Oh God give me the reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again, until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee
(Baby, Im sorry. Please forgive me for all the wrong I'VE done.
Please come back home girl. I know you put all your trust
in me, I'm sorry I let you down. Please forgive me girl.)
I'm gonna swallow my pride
Say I'm sorry
Stop pointing fingers, the blame is on me
I want a new life
And I want it with you
If you feel the same
Don't ever let it go
You gotta believe, in the spirit of love
it can heal all things
We won't hurt any more
No I don't believe our love's terminal
I'm down on my knees, begging you please
Come home...
CHORUS:
Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be
Oh God give me the reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again, until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee
Wanna build a new life
Just you and me
Gonna make you my wife
Raise a family
Harry slow danced with her for another song, "Crying'" by Aerosmith. 1. There was a time
When I was so brokenhearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
'Cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin' kind
All I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed
I was Crying' when I met you
Now I'm tryin to forget you
your Love is sweet misery
I was Crying' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do-down on me
Now there's not even breathin' room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when we're makin love
Must be one and the same
It's down on me
Yeah, I got to tell you one thing
It's been on my mind
Girl I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you give to me
Takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist
I was Crying' when I met you
Now I'm tryin to forget you
your Love is sweet misery
I was Crying' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do to me
'Cause what you got inside
Ain't where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
'Till you give your heart away
I was Crying' when I met you
Now I'm tryin to forget you
Your Love is sweet misery
I was Crying' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' just to let you
Do what you do what you do down to me, baby, baby, baby
I was Crying' when I met you
Now I'm tryin to forget you
Your Love is sweet misery
I was Crying' when I met you
Now I'm tryin to forget you
Your Love is sweet misery
I was Crying' when I met you
Now I'm tryin to forget you
Your Love is sweet misery
I was Crying' when I met you
Now I'm tryin to forget you
Your Love is sweet misery
Do what you do down to, down to, down to, down to
I was Crying' when I met you
Now I'm tryin to forget you
Your Love is sweet misery
As the song finished, Harry was led off the dance floor, and to a table, where Duke Brown sat, smiling at him.
"I'm liking the look, Mr. Potter." Harry, at his young age, smiled. "Thank you, sir."
"Wow, he has manners, too." Another spoke. "Duke Thomas, nice to meet you.""And you as well." His swift reply came, as he took a seat, and began to have a conversation with Duke Brown. The dinner began moments later, and Harry stood, offering a toast. "In congratulations to Heidi and Helga, I offer a toast." Everyone raised their glasses. "Good luck, ladies." Harry, at his 13 years, sat down in his seat, as glasses clinked. A few others stood, offering toasts, before dinner was served. Harry smiled at his new group of people, wondering what would occur in his life next.
Well, next Chapter will be out in a couple of weeks, I hope. Sorry to keep y'all waiting!!! Nothing really happened in this chapter, so ill have more in the next... peace.
