3. An Once In A Lifetime Night
"Come
on, Mary, don't be so... so..."
"Leave her, Kitt. No one can
save her, she's lost in the piano. Farewell, sister."
"Don't
be so ridiculous!" Mary yelled at Kitty and Lydia.
"If you
just would come with us! I mean, this is gonna be fun!"
Kitty told her, but Mary wouldn't listen.
"Three! Two! One!"
Jane yelled, and the two youngest sisters quickly walked to the
door.
"Goodbye," Lizzie said to her mother and Mary, who were
both in the living room, and then she also left.
"Is this really
gonna be fun?" Jane asked softly, when Lizzie stood next to
her.
"Sure, why not?" Lizzie laughed, "C.U.T. is a great
band."
"What does C.U.T. actually mean?"
"Crazy
Unlimited Team."
"You're kidding, right?"
Lizzie grinned,
she knew Jane didn't realy like bands, but she really wanted her
sister to go with her and
the two others tonight. It would be fun,
like Kitty said, and it would take her mind of... things.
Their
house was near the place where the concert would be performed.
"This
is so great!" Lydia yelled. "An open air concert in Longbourn!
Liz, do you think I can get an autograph of Timothy?"
"Timothy?"
Jane asked.
"He's the singer of C.U.T.," Lizzie told, "and I
don't know, Lydia."
"I wanna see Jamie," Kitty said, "he's
the greatest. His eyes..." she smiled.
"Stop it, you're sick!"
Jane told her, and Lizzie and Lydia laughed.
"Look," Lydia
said after a while, "do you see it?"
There was a small stage
on the market, and a big crowd listened to some man, who had the
microphone in his hand.
The four Bennet's quickly walked to all the
people and listened to man's words.
"All the way from
Southampton... the one and only C.U.T.!" Everyone clapped and some
girls screamed, two of them
were Kitty and Lydia. Jane rolled her
eyes and Lizzie grinned. She looked at the stage and saw three men
standing there.
She clapped and they began to play.
"Wow,
they're really cool!" Jane said loudly, after a while.
"Yeah,
they are, aren't they?" Lizzie answered, "Eve has a cd of them,
that's how-" she stopped talking, because she saw
William Darcy
standing next to her.
"Hey," he smiled. For the first time, he
wasn't arrogant. Probably the rocking music had a positive effect on
him.
"Hey there," Lizzie said coolly. He frowned.
"Do you
like it?" he asked.
"Yes, I do."
"Ehm..." he looked
taken aback, "this is my friend, Charles Bingley."
"Nice to
meet you," Lizzie nodded. She knew Jane wanted to be introduced to
the two guys in front of them,
but she didn't say anything.
"Uh,
I'm Jane, Lizzie's sister," Jane told, after a long silence.
"Nice
to meet you," Charles smiled. Lizzie looked at him, he looked like
a really cheerfull person. Not really a Darcy-friend.
"Do you
both live her?" Jane asked, smiling back.
"William does, but I
don't. I live in Manchester," Charles explained. Lizzie felt a
little shock when she heard the name of the town.
"You
still live there?" she asked Charles, but looking at William.
"Eh,
yes," he said awkward, feeling the tension in the air.
"Well,
that's nice," Lizzie snapped, and she turned around, leaving three
astonished people.
She
dissapeared in the crowd, crying a little bit.
"Lizzie?" a
voice asked. She looked up and saw the worried face of George
Wickham.
"What's wrong, Liz?"
"Nothing," she quickly
said, "I'm just a little bit sick."
"Ah," he
nodded.
"Lizzie, we were look-" Kitty came out of nothing and
stopped taling as she saw Fritz. Lydia walked behind her.
"This
is George, a journalist," Lizzie introduced him, "George, these
are my two youngest sisters, Kitty and Lydia."
"Nice to meet
you," Kitty giggled. Suddenly someone tapped on Lizzie's shoulder.
She turned around and saw Jane.
"Come here, Lizzie," she said
softly. Lizzie followed her, and they walked out of the
crowd.
"What's wrong, sissy?" Jane asked, "you've been
acting quite weird the last few days. Is everything alright?"
Lizzie
looked at her. The lights of the stage shone on her sister's hair and made it glow. She listened to the music.
"I
don't know anymore what to feel
what do do – what is
real"
"Lizzie?"
"I fight against the
temptation, but can I resist
it's so temptating to drown in your
eyes
but I can't do it, because of all the secrets and lies"
Lizzie
started to cry again. Jane immediately hugged her.
"Hey, what's
wrong?"
"I'm dying inside,
I try to hide
but you
never leave me alone
and I feel so lonely on my own
every
minute you're in my head
making me even more and more sad"
"It's
just that..." Lizzie didn't know what to say. She only knew that
she was safe, in her sister's arms.
And that was all she wanted to
know. For now.
