Story of A Girl;-- Chapter 2, ASOUE FanFic

by aiken4liam

Screeeech went the brakes of Klaus's car as he pulled into the parking lot of his office.

He pushed open the large set of double doors and found himself alone in the huge building.

Being after hours, there were only 2 guards on duty.

"It's sorta eerie in here…" Klaus thought to himself as he pressed a button labeled "13" in the elevator.

Ding, ding, ding… it went each time he advanced a floor higher.

Klaus then walked 2 hallways over, took a left, passed the bathrooms, through another set of doors, and then 5 cubicles over was his.

He quickly got on his hands an knees and searched through the box that was under his desk. Soon Klaus pulled out the one thing he was trying to look for, a large leather-covered, spiral-bound photo album.

All of the photographs in there were of Isadora, Isadora and him, Isadora and her family, Isadora and his family…. Well, you get the point.

Klaus could feel tear droplets forming in his coffee colored eyes.

How many days in a year
She woke up with hope, but she only found tears?
And I can be so insincere,
Making her promises, never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
And how many days disappear
You look in the mirror, so how do you choose?

And your clothes never wear as well the next day,
And your hair never falls in quite the same way,
You never seem to run out of things to say...

This is the story of a girl,
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
and while she looked so sad in photographs,
I absolutely love her
When she smiles...

He flipped through the pages carefully and slowly, taking in deep breaths and remembering the moments mentally in his well-read mind.

Then he got to THE PICTURE… yeah, he referred to it as THE PICTURE. It's the picture that Sunny and Duncan took of them… when Klaus proposed to her. He was down on one knee, holding open a MaryKay wedding ring, glistening in the Spring time sun. Isadora's eyes were wide in shock, covering her mouth with her hands, her hair flowing behind her in the slight breeze. He remembered that day like it happened yesterday.

And this is when Klaus started to cry… and I don't mean just cry a few tears here and there…. He was bawling his eyes out like he never has before.

And just when things in his life were starting to turn worse, he felt a hand touch his shoulder.

He slowly turned his head around enough to see Violet standing right behind him.
