Chapter 4: Old Feelings Resurface

Alex was feeling very strange indeed as she danced in waltz formation to one of the new songs. She needed to think about what was going on in her life and what she really wanted to do know.

When she bumped into Seth earlier that night she expected things to be as they were when she left: they were good friends. Yet she couldn't help feel that she was again feeling the same feelings that drew her to Seth in the first place such as him being different from all the other guys, he always keeping her happy and the simple things like being together. The thing that made all this resurface was when she saw him. 'Gosh' she thought she honestly couldn't remember a time when she was happier then she was right now. And she loved it.

Alex being curious to her surroundings had a look around to see who were dancing. There were the typical types: husbands and their wives, boyfriends and girlfriends and children with their parents. But one couple in particular stood out. A guy in about his late teens with a girl of the same age. Both had brown hair and blue eyes and were dancing very romantically. Just then the girl looked up in a loving way at what obviously was her boyfriend. He returned the gesture.

Alex immediately recognised the pair. It was Ryan and Marissa! And Marissa had moved on from her like she was nothing. How dare she!

She realised once again that very few people truly understood her so she buried her head in Seth's shoulder and held him tight.

Feeling the change Seth looked down at her buried in his shoulder. "What's wrong Als?" He questioned. "Nothing!" she replied before looking down. "Als, I know something is wrong. I promise I won't laugh even if it's ridiculous." "Promise?" she said. "Promise" he replied. "Now what's the problem?"

"Well, you see Seth I'm disappointed because I thought Marissa and I had something special but from the way she looks at Ryan that's obviously not the case."

"Oh I see" he replied. "Let me go over it then." "You two did have something special and I could tell because you opened up a lot with her" he said sadly. "The difference is though Als that Ryan and Marissa's bond is like one you have with ones you love, its just there. That's what everyone tries to find in someone they wish to have a relationship with, to love them."

"Oh Seth…" she started

"You know you're the lucky one. That person is probably still out there. But mine is gone."

"No she's not"

"That's what I think anyway" he replied.

"C'mon lets go outside there's a song I want you to hear."

With that the two friends went outside.

"Here put this in your ear" he said giving her one of his iPod earphones. "This song I got off a friend named Rachelle in Australia. It's from their Australian Idol. This guy was the runner up in series two. His names Anthony Callea and his song Rain is similar to what we're going through."

"Rain"

I remember when we met,
before I was invisible.
I thought I'd play it hard to get,
pretend I'm unapproachable.
But somebody else came along and
took all the chances that I missed.
Stuck on the sideline I keep thinking 'there she goes'...

Falling like rain...
No, I don't get to hold her tonight.
Falling like rain...
I was pushed to the back of the line.
'Cause even though I need her love and crave her touch,
I guess I wasn't fast enough.
She's falling like rain,
Just not for me.
Not for me, no, no...

Why I took the longest road
I'll have to plead insanity.
It's like my pride put on a show
and didn't sell a single seat.
While I was talking in riddles,
somebody else made perfect sense.
Stuck on the outside I keep thinking 'there she goes'...

What do you do, what do you say
when the best thing has passed you by?
Where do you go, how do you know,
if she'll come back another time?

(She's falling like rain)
Falling like rain...
(She's falling like rain)
Ooh oh oh...
(She's falling like rain)
Falling like rain...
(She's falling)
She's falling...
(She's falling like)
Rain...
(No I don't get to hold her tonight)
Won't get to hold her...
(Falling like rain)
Falling like rain...
(I was pushed to the back of the line)
Pushed to the back of the line.
(Cause even though I need her love)
Need her love...
(and crave her touch)
I guess I wasn't fast enough.
(She's falling like rain)
Just not for me.
She's falling like rain...
