'What the hell Al! What's wrong with you! Why don't you just tell me!' I spent about a half an hour yelling at myself before I even tried to knock on the door. Tony answered, "Hey Tony! Is Al home?" Tony nodded and pointed to Al's room "He doesn't have a girl over does he?" Tony shook his head. So I can cross that off the growing list of things that might be wrong.
Ok door challenge two. Great now what, I'm just standing here like an idiot. 'Take your hand and knock! Please knock!' I felt a tug at my shirt, which made me jump a little I looked down to see Tony. He gave me a thumbs up and I smiled back. Thanks Tony, just enough encouragement to knock! 'Ok here we go ready? 1, 2, 3, go!' Knock knock. "Hey Tony come on in!" He sounded better than he did on the phone, so what the hell!
I creaked the door open a little so Al couldn't see me. "Hey! So I started to watch this awesome movie and started to feel a little better!" I couldn't talk 'damn you voice! Speak!' "Um Tony? Bro you there?" 'Oh shit that does it!' I slammed open the door and practically ran to the side of his bed. And there he was, in bed with tissues surrounding the floor with puffy eyes and a runny nose. 'Shit.' "E-E-E-EMBER!" I fell with a thud to the floor and those beautiful blue eyes, where wide now. They were wide with surprise and pain; I can't move. "Ember! Oh god!" He tried to hide some of the tissues and quickly rub his eyes, I saw that. He put on a smile, fake. I was racking my brain to find something, something to say.
"Why" "Hey Ember how's it going!" Fake. "Why the hell didn't you just call me!" 'Damn you tear ducts don't do it!' I felt my tears creep to the sides of my eyes. I was trying so hard not to cry. "Uh…" "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH YOU SCARED ME!" "I'm sorry" "What are you even doing!? Why are you-" "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!"
There was a long silence, I was trying to process everything when I managed a choked "What." I'm shocked, so shocked that I have started thinking a loud. "You… You're crazy…" He looked at me with a pained but determined expression "I have loved you since we were little! I told Arthur about it and somehow Francis found out about it. Francis called me and told me that you hated me, he told me you were just pretending to be my friend. And that just crushed me."
I was angry at Francey-pants but there were just too many emotions that swelled up I couldn't focus. "Plus you always say we are just friends so I thought…" "I love you too Alfie" I looked up at him and I could feel a hot liquid running down my face. "I love you so much I can't take-" I was interrupted by being lifted up and crashing into Alfred. When he let me go he looked to be on the edge of tears too and pulled me really close into one of his famous hugs.
I started to lose it "God I love you so much Alfred!" He started to stroke my long white hair "Hey Em?" It was getting kinda hard to talk through all the tears "Ember?" I finally managed a "What" "I will stop calling you babe from now on but can I please call you my girl?" I didn't even notice how much I had sunken down until he pulled me up again so I could look in his eyes. "Yes! Of course you can!"
He pulled me onto the bed with him and kept saying, "I love you" like if he stopped I wouldn't believe him anymore. I stayed there for a long time with my head on his chest and his strong arm around me. I knew as long as he was there with me, nothing could go wrong…
Whew Ok! I lied about Ember not talking to herself anymore, in fact she's probably going to do it a lot more often. So anyways next chapter it starts getting good! Heh heh I'm just going to keep fucking with you~ No I'm not that evil, Hopefully I'll have it uploaded in a few days if my animation class doesn't work me to death...
Viva Revolution,
