*Disclaimer*: Nope don't own Alias. That's why it's a Fanfic. If I did, one of 3 things would have happened already. Sydney would have somehow got back together with Vaughn (or maybe he wouldn't have even been married), She would have moved on with Sark, or moved on with Weiss. It would just be weird if she moved on with anybody else.
A/N: Oh no! What have I done to Weiss? Well, read on to find out. Enjoy!
Dedication: Same as always.
Suggested listening: "My immortal" by evanescence. "Case of the ex" by Mya
Warning: this chapter has a bunch of angst. It is going to set the stage of what is coming.
Previously on "A twisted world after all":
"…I'll never hear her first word, never se her first laugh, never scrutinize her first boyfriend." with that Lauren looked down at the ground her eyes full of tears.
"Lauren, ba-honey, I'm sorry I never knew." Michael said taking her in his arms stroking her back…
…"Look, I gotta go, bye Weiss" Sydney said leaving.
After Sydney left Weiss went into a secluded office, activated a debugging device and whipped out his cell. "Hello? Yes, Sydney Bristow recovered some of her memories."
Sark stood outside of the building. Hmm should he break in? Or should he not. What would Sydney do? What the hell, when had he started thinking that? He had left the nightclub in a hurry, trying not to show the hurt on his face. That had taken some courage for him to say again, especially since she had no clue what had happened in those last two years. What had happened… between them. Deciding to slip in, he opened the door and slipped in, hoping to give a big surprise. He didn't know that it would be him who would be surprised, not the other way around.
Chapter 7~ What are you gonna do when you can't say no?
***Weiss's POV***
Weiss turned off the debugger and quietly stepped out of the office, looking to see if anybody was watching.
***Vaughn's POV***
Vaughn pulled the cover over his now sleeping wife. She had fallen asleep a little while before. He had to shamefully admit though, that when she had started talking although his friendship might not make it, his heart had jumped at the fact that maybe now Sydney and him had a chance. This might be the break he was looking for. It might finally be, a real, genuine excuse for him to get a divorce. But, no, in this life, it was never "and they lived happily ever after." It was truly a twisted world after all. He sighed. He missed Sydney sooo much. For a while he had seriously considered running to the courthouse and getting divorce. He couldn't take it anymore, the memories of all the time they had together just wouldn't leave him alone. It seemed to be laughing at him.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
And it hurt him, every single time.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
He used to be the person she went to for comfort-from her pain. He wanted that again, so much it hurt him to think about it.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
It always surprised him how she never gave up. She always pushed forward. The old Michael Vaughn, the voice of reason had disappeared since she showed up in his life. All of it had been washed away by his love for her. He missed her, and without her love, he was slowly going insane.
You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
This pain was just too real. He wanted it to all go away. So that it would just be the two of them, but now, all he had were her memories. She was so close, but yet so far away.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
He tried so hard to convince himself that he loved his wife. That Sydney Bristow the love of his life was gone. Now it was just Sydney Bristow, a great friend.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
He didn't want his wife; he wanted Sydney. His memories wouldn't let him forget that. Ever.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
He would jump off a bridge if Sydney asked him too, and he knew that if she asked him to leave his wife for her, he would do it- for her. Lauren stirred in her sleep. He didn't deserve her; she didn't deserve this. She deserved someone who loved her and only her. They both deserved better. He turned on the television with a sigh. It was on the HBO channel. Maybe Lauren was watching a movie last night. He laid down on the bed and turned his attention to the movie playing. It was showing the movie "Rat Race" and it was about in the middle of the beginning of the movie. One of the characters, Nick was talking to Tracey, a helicopter pilot. He was trying to convince her to come with him to get the money. "My grandfather always said good things take time, but great thing happen all at once." (If you've never seen rat race, first of all, who are you? That was one of the funniest movies of all time. Second it's about 6 people racing to a train station in Silver City, New Mexico to open the locker in the station to find the 2 million dollars that a hotel owner put in it. Why did he do it? Have to either buy or rent the movie to find out.) Hmm. Maybe that philosophy wasn't all that bad. He might just try it. Jumping up, he grabbed his keys and some money. He knew where he was going and he had to hurry.
***Sark's POV***
Sark dozed off; man was he tired. What was taking her so long? When he woke up he heard the door opened and was about to say something sweet to her, but then stopped when he heard a male voice. "Sydney?" the voice he now recognized as Sydney's old boy toy Michael Vaughn asked.
Realizing he wasn't supposed to be here he hid underneath a brown table that looked like it had been set up to rest a laptop on. It had 3 doors of each side and a huge space underneath it for a chair to go. The agent called her name again as he went into the bathroom. He came back out and looked around. Sark held his breath; he couldn't be discovered not yet. He heard the man sit down the bed not 2 inches from where he had laid only a few minutes before. He jumped up as he heard the door opening.
***Weiss's POV***
Weiss sat back down at his desk. He didn't even bothered to pretend he was working. What memories had she gotten back? Did she know anything? Did Sark know anything? Did he tell her? This was driving him up the wall. He had to know and he had to know now.
***Sydney's POV***
Sydney sat down on a bench outside a building. She desperately needed time to think secluded from anybody else so she could get her feelings straight. She wanted so bad to trust Sark and every time she decided to her mind kept telling her that he was a terrorist. He could be using you. No one wants you…except him. Weiss might not mind her company now, but she knew it was only a matter of time before he would get tired of her. He would want her to move on, get over it. Vaughn had a wife, he wasn't hers anymore, but Sark, he was just Sark. And ever since she had gotten back, besides her dad, Sark seemed to be the only person who actually wanted her back, was glad she was back. Because although they might have missed her, everyone else had moved on, towards a life that didn't involve her, that didn't have room for her. Sighing, she finally admitted something that would never have crossed her mind 2 years ago, Sark wasn't just Sark, Sark was… a possibility. Getting up she walked towards her room.
***Lauren's POV***
Lauren woke up with a jolt. The radio went off instead of an alarm music played. Michael must have set it for me, she thought happily. No matter what happened, he always was considerate of my feelings. Her happy mood changed after she saw a note left by him saying that he would be back late and as the radio played a different song, a song she would soon know by heart. Michael was hers now, Sydney just had to get over that.
It's after midnight
And she's on your phone
Crying "come over "
'Cause she's all alone
I could tell it

Why is she
Calling now, after so long?
Now what is it that she wants?
Tell me what is it that she needs?
Did she heard about the brand new Benz
That you just bought for me
Ya'll sure didn't have no kids
Didn't share mutual friends
And you told me that she turned trick
When ya'll broke up in '96
What you gonna do when you can't say no,
When the feelings start to show
Boy I really need to know then
How you gonna act
How you gonna handle that
What you gonna do when she wants you back?
What you gonna do when you can't say no?
And the feelings start to show
Boy I really need to know then

Don't get caught up
Because baby you'll lose
Now what is it that she wants?
Tell me what is it that she needs?
Did she heard about the brand new Benz

What you gonna do when she wants you back?
A tear slid down Lauren's cheek as she realized that give or take a few words that that song described her current situation. She knew, it was only a matter of time, she knew from other people that this situation could not end friendly. In the whole song, one phrase had caught her attention and held onto it for dear life: 'What you gonna do when you can't say no? And the feelings start to show, Boy I really need to know then, How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that? What you gonna do when she wants you back?' She had no clue what she would do, if they decided to get back together. She had fallen asleep before she could tell him, that she didn't think he was the father. Now, it might be too late. If she told him, then he might divorce her. He'll be gone forever. So, there was only one possibility, don't tell him. And hope it never slipped out.

"I'm sorry baby, really I am." a man apologized. He was holding 2-dozen roses and his wife didn't seem to care.
"Damn it! Arvin, this doesn't make up for what you did!" Emily yelled.
"You see, this is what caused it to happen in the first place!" he yelled.
"Caused what Arvin? Caused what? Just say it!" Emily screamed.
"It was an accident. I don't want to say it in front of the guests." he whispered.
"Why not! They're gonna find out anyway! You slept with her Arvin! You slept with-" she started before Arvin clasped his hand over her mouth.
"Will you excuse us" he said addressing the guests staring at the couple, "she had a little bit too much medicine. She had a headache." Sloane took his wife and walked her up to their room.

***Motorcycle Woman's POV***
The woman on the motorcycle woman sat outside the building for a moment before going inside. She had weapons with her, showing that she knew the confrontation inside wouldn't be pretty.
A/N: I know, I know, it was a really, really, really crappy chapter. I just wanted to show how everyone was feeling before some major things start happening. If you think you know how this story will end (and it's not close to by the way) then your wrong. This will have more twists and turns then the Electric Slide at Sun Splash! More Sarkney coming up, I promise. I'll try to put some in the next chapter but I don't know, can't make any promises. But, I'll try. Please read and review! OMG! Did anyone watch Eloise at Christmastime last week? I didn't watch all of it, but I was channel surfing last week and guess who I saw on Eloise? Take a guess. I saw Sark! And he didn't have his prison-cut hair either! It was all grown out. YAY! Couldn't calm down for a while.
Be sure to check out my other story, "Freaky Friday, Alias Style". Review it if you want to be a candidate for Weiss's girlfriend. Also, review and tell me what you thought. It's so sad. I'm almost done with that story.
I give kudos to my reviewers. Replies to my reviews:
SarkLover: Thanks for the compliment. I love your stories too. Sorry this chapter wasn't all that good, but trust me wait till you see the next chapter, it'll totally be worth it.
leonsalanna: Here you go, pov's installed into my story.
