"Is everything Ok Alyson?" Father asked as Alyson slumped down into
the living room chair and reluctantly clicked on the television.
"Everything is perfect, Father." Alyson said sarcastically, but unbeknownst to her father. The vision of his dark brown eyes peering into hers.so perfect. No. She cant have these thoughts about her family's worst enemy. Why her? Why couldn't she feel this way about someone else? Alyson's eyes began to swell with forming tears as she picked up her belongings and pressed upstairs.
"Alyson wait" She could hear her father say to her as she continued the long journey up the never ending staircase. She wanted to be enclosed in darkness, enclosed in the darkness of her own deepest thoughts. The balcony. Maybe he would be there again, and all worries would leave her presence for the split second their eyes would meet. Alyson flung open the large French doors that led to her balcony, and let the breeze consume her. She shut her eyes, imagining the night that she first saw him.the Caprice boy. So perfect, so untouchable. She wanted most what she could never have. She opened her eyes to see another pair of eyes staring at her. Richard. Her heart skipped a beat as she ran back inside to get away from his peering eyes. Wandering eyes. Disgusting glare of Richard Hennesy. The doorbell rang and Alyson immediately knew who was standing before it. It wasn't the Caprice boy.
"Alyson honey, you have a visitor" Alyson heard her mother's voice reverberate throughout the house.
"I'm not available" Alyson screamed back as she rushed around her room, thinking of a way to not face Richard. Why did he have to be so in love with her? She never gave him a moment to believe that anything would spark between them. Maybe in some way, shape, or form, he had gotten the wrong idea. Her heart began to beat faster as she hopelessly gave up and glanced at the wall to wall mirror in front of her. She wasn't anything special in her own eyes, how could she be special to another?
"Alyson" Richard said as he stood in the doorway, staring intently at Alyson. Alyson jumped as Richard startled her, then grabbed a nearby shirt and held it up to her chest.
"Why are you here?" She said coldly, yet not wanting to hurt his feelings.
"I just came to bring you something", Richard said as he held out a familiar jewelry box. "It's a necklace. My mother gave it to me to give to the one I love. I'm giving it to you."
"Richard, no. Don't even bring that over here because you and I both know, I wont be wearing it." Alyson said as she took a step back towards the balcony doors.
"I know it doesn't mean anything to you, but it would help me know that my mother's wish came true. You don't have to ever wear it, just take it. It would help me rest better if I knew the one I loved most, held the necklace my mother loved most."
"Why don't you save it for your wife?"
"Because you are my wife" Richard finished as he set the jewelry box on her dresser and took a few steps toward Alyson.
"Don't come over here either. Take the box with you, and don't think that I'll ever marry you. I don't love you, understand this."
"I understand. Just give it time." Richard said as he blew her a kiss and exited Alyson's room. Alyson peered over at the box which was now resting on her dresser, and a shudder of disgust shook her body. Why couldn't she feel for him what she had for the Caprice boy? She hated him so, why would she ever have thoughts about loving him in the first place? 'You're going to marry the Caprice boy' she said aloud to herself. Suddenly, realizing what she had just uttered, her face twisted with abhorrence as she shook her head and let out a silent scream. 'No!' The balcony. She needed some fresh air, and a fresh atmosphere to do some thinking. She opened the proverbial doors and stepped outside onto the balcony that she knew too well. Many nights did she spend out there, wishing upon a star to bring her beloved to her one night where they can stare at the stars and dream pleasant dreams. Think pleasant thoughts. Live a pleasant life. Alyson glanced down in the street and noted how many couples she saw. The same flickering street light illuminated the area every three seconds. She recognized a few of the pedestrians and waved when they noticed her looming above. A smile spread across her face; a fake smile. The Caprice boy. He dodged glances as he slid in and out among the walking pedestrians. Alyson's heart dropped through the floor. Her smile faded and she longed to see him, to see him glance up at her with eager eyes. Why wasn't he looking? She silently screamed to herself again and wanted so badly to peer into his eyes. No. He was her worst enemy, she scolded herself. He hates me, she repeated over and again. He turned, and found himself looking up at her balcony. There she was, in all of her glory, staring right back at him. He smiled faintly as his heart did a dance inside of him. The whole world stopped for the split second that he looked into her eyes. How he hated her, and how she hated him. The flickering of the street lamp brought him back down to earth, as he turned and continued his walk down the sidewalk. Alyson turned and walked back inside. Hate and love all mixed into one. She never dreamed life would be this hard.
Yep, another chapter. I love writing! I'm lost though, I don't like how I messed myself up with the school thing. I don't want them to see each other all of the time! Bah I'm so lost. I'm really new at this writing ordeal! Ha let me know how its going. ( Mwah I heart you guys.
