Chapter 6 – Beautiful

Seth watched Adrienne go inside her house, waving at him through the window. He walked down the sidewalk, smiling to himself.

My life is brilliant, my love is pure. I saw an angel of that I'm sure.

He felt so strongly towards her. But he couldn't help but notice the pain he saw in her eyes. He kept pondering to himself if it could have been something he had done. He thought the evening went rather, except for the moments when Adrienne went into a few awkward silences. He heard a crash some ways in front of him, and saw Ned coming out of his house, cursing.

She smiled at me on the subway, she was with another man. But I won't lose no sleep on that cause I've got a plan.

"Hey Ned!" Seth cried out. Ned looked up his eyes still narrowed. Seth ran over to him his smile remaining. "What's up?" Ned shrugged his shoulders, "Things are just screwed up." Ned looked at Seth suspiciously, "You treating her right?" Seth was taken aback, "As well as I can." Ned's lips tightened into a line, "Why are you with her Bowers? You've nearly dated every girl there is in our year, so what, you want to finish off the rest?"

She caught my eye as I walked on by, she could see by my face that I was flying high.

Seth felt a sudden urge to hit Ned in the face. "I really care for her Ned, though I don't think it's any of your business what I do with her." It was Ned's turn to take a step back. "It's entirely my business she should be mine." Seth smirked walking away from Ned. But not before saying, "You should learn to keep your eyes off Suzie then." Monday came and Adrienne waited by her locker for Seth.

I don't think that I'll see her again, but we shared a moment that will last til the end.

Moze came up instead, "How you been doing?" Adrienne forced a small smile, " I've been better." Moze nodded then her eyes widened, "I just remembered Cookie wants his calculator 361 back." Adrienne reeled off her locker, circling her combination. She searched through the heaps of paper and books, and felt herself being shoved. Probably by Lumar. Adrienne fell back taking her stuff with her.

Including a box of medicine with her. She tried to scoop them up in time, but Moze had already spotted it. "What are these?" She looked concern. "You really want to know?" "Of course." "Then swear to me you won't tell anyone." Moze made her vow, and Adrienne spilled everything.

Moze hugged her when she started to sniffle. "It's just not fair I want to tell him, but the words won't come out. Besides what am I supposed to do about Seth?"

There must be an angel with a smile on her face, when she thought that I should be with you.

"Adrienne this is going to sound pretty damn cliché, but I think you should follow your heart." Moze then stood up, and left. At the same time Seth approached. "You okay down there?" Adrienne didn't speak, so Seth sat down next to her. Seth's mind was racing, he felt too many things at once that he wanted to scream. He also wanted to cry. He knew why she was upset. That's the reason why he wanted to kill someone. "Is this about Ned?" And her louder sobbing confirmed hi accusation.

But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you.
