Attention: Spoiler the next couple of episodes.. man I love having digital
cable so I can see the previews for the following week. It's only a little
mention of Alison's request to use the ring to make the night go away and a
mention about Livvie trying to seduce Caleb after he had kicked her and he
had fired his band members.
Chapter Four
Alison stepped off the elevator and walked out of the apartment building. Her mind was a whirlwind of questions. Why had she gone there? Why had she let him kiss her? Why had he kissed her anyways? She was beginning to get a headache with all these unanswerable contemplations. She had to get some are and really quick for she was feeling slightly dizzy. Continuing along the sidewalk she by passed the park with the benches and went straight to the lake. If there was only a way to make that night go away, if she was on able to erase it. She had asked Caleb a couple of days after it happened if he could use his ring to erase the day but he had told her no, that he couldn't undo what had happened, there was no way to turn back time.
Stopping infront of the lake Alison took a deep breath. Rafe was still worried about her, she knew that. After all she had made a scene at their sacred place when he had surprised her by taking her there but she couldn't handle that situation any better than what she did. She only hoped that when she did find the courage to tell him about that night in their barn he would be able to forgive her. Rafe was a good man but Alison knew he had his limits. Slowly sitting on the ground she took of her shoes and tucked her feet underneath her wishing that someone could give her the answers she so greatly desired. She had never questioned her love for Rafe before but ever since that night her dreams had been haunted by Caleb. First she thought that he might have been entering her dreams uninvited since he had done that once before when her and Rafe had been planning to get married the first time. But then she had realized that her dreams were the creations of her own imagination because in them she had been enjoying herself.
Never once had she felt so empty and lost than she did at that moment. Running her fingers through her hair she closed her eyes and fought the tears that threatned to spill down her cheeks.
'Why me? Why did I have to be the one with him when she made that god awful wish?' She questioned silently, her heart aching within her chest.
"Alison?" came a deep voice from behind her.
Startled Alison stood up and turned to find Jack behind her, Livvie was no where to be seen.
"Jack. I didn't see you there." She gave a small sniffle and wiped at her eyes as one of her closest friends studied her, a curious yet worried look in his eye.
"Ali are you ok?" Stepping forward he took one of her shakey hands in his.
"Yeah I'm find, must be pre-wedding gitters." She told him with a shakey smile, hoping that he would believe her lie.
"Well that's to be expected, you're wedding is only a week away and you don't seem to have a great track record when it comes to weddings." Jack gave her a teasing grin as he released her hand.
Alison gave a small laugh that seemed rather hollow even to her own ears. "Yeah. This one will be different though. It's going to be small, only family and friends and this time Caleb Morely is not invited. He can't pull that whole married to my mother bit again." Her eyes grew cold as she thought about her last wedding and how miserable she had felt when she had thought that Rafe was her brother. That had all been Caleb's doing and she couldn't help but wonder why he had started to be so nice to her when his soul purpose seened to be to ruin the lives of everyone she cared about.
Shaking her head to push away the memories of her previous wedding she smiled at Jack. "So you and Livvie are getting chummy again I see. Be careful Jack, that girl always has a trick up her sleeve."
Nodding in agreement he shoved his hands in his pocket and shrugged, "She's hurting and needs a friend and I don't know why but I feel like it's my duty to look after her while she's getting over this ugly break up with Caleb. Did you know that she stole his ring?"
"Yeah I was with Caleb when he." Alison trailed her sentence off, if she were to tell Jack that she was with Caleb when Livvie made a wish he would have questioned that she didn't want to answer.
"You were with Caleb when he what Alison?" Jack arched a brow and studied the blonde girl even more closely. She was hiding something and he knew it, but what exactly?
"When he realized that his ring was a fake. I guess that's why they split up. He felt he couldn't trust her anymore." Turning away from him Alison looked out over the water and wished for once that Jack would leave her alone to her thoughts.
"Alison I think it's time you come clean about what's really bothering you." Jack told her as he turned her around to face him.
!!!!!!
Caleb was feeling like a caged animal as he paced around his apartment. His music wasn't the same now that his life had changed so drastically. When he had wanted the ring the song he used to lure the person with it out in the open had come so easily. When he had been wanted to seduce Tess to reclaim Livvie the words had just flown from him like a river but now, now he was completely at a loss for lyrics. Closing his eyes he tried to conjure up a thought that would bring the words to him. The visions that he had been having of him and Alison flew to mind and he was lost in the memory.
'I could write a song about that night.' He thought to himself and found the words coming to him this time pouring from deep with in his soul.
Even though I sleep.. you are on my mind..
in the waking hours of the day before the sun shines its eternal rays.. you are on my mind..
the thought of you seems to cave me in..
I begin to fall.. never to hit the bottom..
never to touch reality..
you are always there.. on my mind..
when the night is dark and lonely you are the light that shines through the shadows..
the light that brings me close to sanity yet allowing me still to dream.. as I sit alone here.. without you beside me.. you are on my mind
The word were coming so easily. He knew they needed a little work but there was an emotion in these words that he had never felt before. If he were the same old Caleb set out to destroy even those he loved we would have gladly named the song Alison but to do that would to drive her further away than she already was. Sitting down he took his pad of paper and pen and began to write the lyrics down as they came to mind.
End of Chapter Four
Thanks to all that have reviewed so far. The poem is one of my own and I thought I'd put it in there instead of copying someone else's music for Caleb to use.
