FD: In this one, there's a lot of drama and romance going on. And you'll see one of the bitbeasts of the Diamonds, a part of it, anyways. Anyways, if you like, review, please.
I have felt like this for so long, I've forgotten what it's like to live a real life, Sarah thought as she looked up at the sky, her hair pulled behind her in a long ponytail. Why was she so suddenly depressed? It was like a piece of her was taken. As she starred up at the sky, thinking of Alister and Valon, footsteps approaching filled her ears.
She turned to find Robert smiling at her. "A penny for your thoughts?" he asked. Sarah smiled.
"I'm okay. Don't worry," Sarah said. Robert took her hand and kissed her. But she pulled away, accidentally.
"Sarah, something's on your mind. Please, tell me, what is it that's bothering you," Robert asked.
"It's nothing, Robert," Sarah said, fooling him with an innocent smile. He nodded, still concerned, and walked away. Sarah turned back to the sky.
"I know what's on your mind."
You always do, Sarah thought. She walked away, still deep in thought.
"So, Sarah, who was that that was with you the other day," Valon asked suspiciously during one recording session.
"What are you talking about?" Sarah asked, taking a sip of her coke. Alister began to snicker.
"We came back the other day to give you a ride when we saw you exit
with a blonde boy," Alister said. "Who is he? You're new boyfriend?"
The girls looked at Sarah suspiciously.
"No, and his name's Enrique. He's Tiffany's boyfriend," Sarah said. Then Tiffany stood up.
"What was Enrique doing here?" she asked.
"Spying on you, girl. He was suspicious of who Alister, Valon, and David were. I mean, he saw Valon and Alister every time you get dropped off at his place, and David seems to be calling you a lot lately. So he wanted to find out the truth, and spied on you. Luckily I explained everything to him," Sarah said.
Tiffany sighed sadly. "He's supposed to trust me. Now look what's happening! He's not!" Tiffany said.
"Well, that was only a one time thing. I told him David was just a friend, like me, Yuji, and Ines. Don't worry, alright. Everything's cool," Sarah explained.
Tiffany smiled. It had been so long since Sarah had said "don't worry" since her monologue performance for drama class in the eigth grade.
"Come on, ladies, let's get to work! Alister, do you mind if I talk to you for a second?" Steve said, coming in.
"Sure," Alister said, following him into the recording room while the girls took their places with their instruments. Sarah smiled as Valon took his place behind the dark window to the recording room. Sarah then found herself placing her guitar down and ran into the room and pulled him out to the music room with him.
"What's going on?" he asked
"Sing with me," Sarah said. "You remember that Elvis song we would listen to all the time, even though we hated him? Sing it with me!"
Valon smiled shyly. Then they sang it together. (author FD: I'm not gonna go into detail, but the song they were singing was the same one from Lilo & Stitch, sung by the ATeens, called "Can't Help Falling In Love With You.")
"Man, you guys are the bomb when you sing together," Alister said as he came into the room. Valon blushed slightly and Sarah smiled.
"So, what's up?" Sarah asked.
"Well, Steve thinks it might help with the reputation that me and Valon join you on the stage and sing songs with you. Then maybe dance," Alister said.
"But...that'll make the public believe one of you is my boyfriend," Sarah said.
"I know, and that's what'll attract more attention and profit," Alister said. "It's his idea."
"I think it's a good idea. Valon and Sarah always sound good together, and with you in it, it'll be even greater," Tiffany said. Everyone thought it was a good idea, all but Sarah.
Sarah stayed up all night thinking about Steve's proposal. She was questioning whether to go against it, and to go with it. It was a tough decision. If she denied it, she would have to have a reason, and she can't say anything about Robert, or else problems will start. But if she went along with it, and Robert saw her up there with Valon and Alister, even more problems will start.
"Sarah, are you okay?" Robert's voice came from the double closed doors. Sarah smiled and responded.
"Yeah, I'm okay," Sarah said. She couldn't believe she had a boyfriend like Robert. He was so concerning, so sensitive. Even though he was always so serious and didn't have much of a sense of humor, he cared and Sarah had asked for that all her life. Someone to care for her. Someone to look through her eyes and understand her. And Robert did just that and more.
She didn't deserve Robert. She didn't even to deserve to know him. He cared so much about, he understood her so well, she just wasn't worth it. By now the sky was dark and cloudy, and rain was falling from them.
The doors opened and Robert came in. He found Sarah standing in front of her balcony windows, starring out at the rain. She was upset about something. But what? As Robert starred at her, he could have sworn he saw pearl white, sparkling wings that have sprouted from her back. Not like fairy wings, or a bird's, but an angel's. But once he saw it, it vanished. It was mysterious.
Robert approached Sarah and placed his hand on her shoulder. A smile spread on Sarah's face and she turned to him.
"Robert, I...I don't deserve you," she said.
"What? Yes, you do," Robert said. "It is me that doesn't deserve you."
Robert saw the tears in her eyes and his face dropped as she pulled away. She starred back out at the rain that fell and the tears fell along with them.
"When the rain falls, it's like heaven's crying, and the names are the difference that there is. Because tears are the same when they are trying to grow something good. There's no difference between the teardrops, and the rain."
Sarah had cried the whole night, even when Robert pulled her close and held her. She couldn't believe that she was with him. She just wanted to remember... remember what elegance was.
"A lady should always be elegant."
That was what Sarah's mother would always say. But deep down, Sarah was never elegant, nor was she worth anything. She's been so upset lately, like as if something that was taken so long ago has been returned, and she didn't know whether to take it back or not. Was she even really worth living?
FD: I hope you guys enjoyed it. I need to update soon. Well, if you like, review please. The next one Valon is writing, so, you'll see him, not me. Okay? Perfect.
