~I Know, I know the song idea is lame. I just heard it and it just... fit, so I used it.~
Alicia arrived at the bar early and took a seat, expectantly waiting for will to show up. She still had no idea what she'd say, but she knew she had to try.
She saw Will walk in, and a smile spread across her face. She loved the sight of him. He was still wearing a suit, but she'd changed into the tight black dress that showed off a little bit of her cleavage the way he'd always liked. "Hello, Will." She said, rising to greet him. He kissed her on the cheek, and she felt it flush. She really hoped it wasn't visible.
"Hi Alicia." He said, saying her name in the way that had always killed her.
"What'll you have to drink? I'm buying." She said, her voice slightly raspy with emotion.
"The usual." He said, knowing that she knew him well enough that she could order for him.
"Right." Said Alicia, signaling the waitress and placing his order.
"So, why did you ask me here?" said Will, knowing full well she wouldn't have asked if there wasn't some reason.
"What, I can't ask a friend out for drinks?" Asked Alicia, thinking 'Because I missed you' but not having the guts to say it out loud. Not yet.
Two drinks later, Alicia still couldn't bring herself to say what she came to say. Would he reject her? Tell her she missed her chance? That he'd moved on with someone else? She knew she would die if that happened, she couldn't bear it. But an old familiar song came through the jukebox, and she decided to just go for it. "Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you? And suppose I said 'I want to come back to you?' And suppose I cried and said 'I think I've finally learned my lesson, And I'm tired of spending all my time alone?' If I told you that I'd realized you're all I've ever wanted, and it's killing me to be so far away? Would you tell me that you loved me too, and would we cry together, or would you simply laugh at me and say 'I told you so. I told you someday you'd come crawling back and asking me to take you in. I told you so, but you had to go. Now I've found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again.'" After speaking those words out loud (She was way to scared to sing them) Alicia just, sits frozen for five seconds. Alicia can't handle it. She can't handle being that vulnerable, so she runs out before he can even respond.
