Chapter 8
Emotional Commotion
-
After work, Al went home to her small little apartment. She immediately jumped into the bed; an emotional wreck. She could not believe that Kevin cheated o her. She really thought they were going to make it. But I guess her future just wasn't meant to be.
-
Al sat in her room the rest of the night, eating ice cream and watching a very old movie. A man on the TV ran to a woman and embraced her immediately. He then, presented her with a ring and she answered with a yes. They then passionately kissed and the movie ended. Al sighed, as she remembered how she and Kevin met…and how her love life and her career clashed horribly…
Waiting to cross the Rubicon
Wondering what side I'm on
What are these visions of me as a young man?
With one arm pointed, and the other arm holding your hand
Ally Weatherly stood before the building that wrote "The Advisor", a popular newspaper. She grinned excitedly. It was her first day on the job as a photographer. Her boss, Mr. Marling, greeted her happily and gave her her first assignment.
-
Needing a plan to keep you near
Blowing a horn, so you can hear
Al took pictures like a pro. When she presented them to her boss, he was very excited. Her pictures are what gave their newspaper and edge nothing would stop them from becoming the top newspaper in the state.
If it was only my love and devotion
This world would suddenly be in a state of commotion
Emotional commotion, emotional commotion
Emotional commotion, emotional motion

One night, she was encouraged to go to a new hover-skating rink. She never really skated before, let alone hover skate. She was the fool of the rink. She constantly had to hold on to the rail It wasn't until finally that she lost her balance completely and bumped into someone.
And that's how she met… him.
Kevin was gorgeous. His bright blue eyes sparkled when he looked at her. She couldn't believe what she had just done.
"Oh my gosh!" she yelled as she helped him up his feet. "Are you alright?"
He blushed and responded very shyly, "I am now."
Al got the message and blushed furiously. With that, she lost her balance again, only this time, he caught her.
"Need help?" chuckled Kevin.
"Just a little," she laughed nervously. Offering his hand, Al took it and began to skate with him. She felt a sudden sense of attraction to the man she had just met. She swore if her heart skipped to many beats, that she would die of a heart attack.
"My name's Kevin by the way," he said.
"I'm Ally," she responded.
I never get around under the sun and the stars
And I may be always frowning
But wonder you will see, under the sun and the stars
You will turn around and I'll be emotion
-
That is when everything went wrong. Al and Kevin began to date, but because of Kevin's long work hours, they were only able to spend time together late at night. This left Al exhausted and she would always end up coming to work late. She even missed the deadlines for some of her pictures. This would delay the picture, making everyone, including her boss, unhappy.
Emotional commotion, emotional commotion
Emotional commotion, emotional commotion
Emotional commotion, emotional motion

Al sighed. She curled up in her bed with thoughts of what her future would be like now. Whatever was to behold, she hoped it would be better than how it is right now. Living in a small apartment isn't exactly how she dreamed her life would be like. She always imagined become a famous photographer, taking beautiful pictures on her interpretation of things. Even though her job with the newspaper doesn't pay much, at least she's doing what she does.
"I can't risk losing my job," said Al to herself. "I need to keep focused. Maybe with Kevin out of my life, I can finally do that."
And with that, Al fell asleep, still unaware what would happen next.
