Forever Bound
Outtake - Love Story
"You cannot catch me!" a three year old Alicia shrieked, pushing her little legs as hard as she could to make sure she could outrun the monster that was chasing her.
"Run little girl, I am going to catch you," Thomas called out, running slowly so that Alicia would feel confident that she could beat him.
Unfortunately, Alicia had inherited her mother's clumsiness and without any notice, dropped onto her bottom in the middle of the garden. Thomas seized his chance.
"I have got you now!" he cried, carefully throwing himself on top of her so she could not escape, no matter how much she was currently squirming. "The princess cannot escape now," he cackled and began to tickle her, enjoying the sound of the peals of laughter that were produced from her small chest.
"No, monster...not have...me," Alicia managed to pant out between her fit of laughter, trying to escape the hands that were torturing her small body in such a way.
Thomas looked over and saw little Anthony finally catching up with them, his legs too short to stay at the pace of his big sister. "I think that the princess deserves the kiss of death, what do you think evil king Anthony?"
"Yep! Yep! Yep!" Anthony cried, placing himself at his sister's side.
"No, no! Please I-" but before Alicia could beg any more, Anthony began to place sloppy kisses all over her face.
Five minutes later and Anthony had toddled back to the house to tell Mama that he had killed the princess while Thomas helped Alicia from the floor.
"You let him kill me," Alicia pouted slightly at the older boy who had yet to release her hand.
"Of course I did Lici. Anthony is only one and a half, he would be very upset if he were not allowed to have any fun in our game," Thomas tried to explain to the little girl, but her brows still formed a frown.
"But you are my prince. 'Posed to save me from monsters," Alicia said dejectedly, upset that Thomas had not let her go.
Thomas halted their movements and spoke words wise beyond his years, "I will always be here to save you Lici. I will protect you no matter what and you can always rely on me. Do you understand?"
Although she had not understood some of the long words he had used, Alicia nodded regardless; gathering that it was quite important that she agreed with what he said.
"You always be my prince," she smiled up at him, causing a grin of relief to light Thomas' features.
"Of course I will," and with that, Thomas gathered Alicia up onto his back and began to run around the garden, her cries of delight filling his ears and causing pure joy to light up the seven year old boy's heart as he held on tightly to the love of his life.
-o-
"Why can you not take me with you?" an annoyed Alicia asked, her hands placed on her hips as she frowned at the boy before her.
"I have told you Lici, you are too young," Thomas explained once more.
"I am ten years old, I am not a child," Alicia exclaimed, stamping her foot on to ground in frustration.
"Yes you are Alicia, and you are acting extremely childish at the moment," Thomas snapped at her, although he regretted it instantly as he saw Alicia pull her lip into her mouth to stop the tears that had suddenly filled her eyes. "Lici I am sorry," he started, reaching for her hand.
"No," she hissed, pulling herself out of his reach. "If you do not want me to come, you should have said. If you think I am too childish, too immature to be seen with your adult fourteen year old self, you simply should have said so instead of lying to me," and Alicia spun on her heel, miraculously not tripping over thin air, and began to walk away from him.
She had made it about three steps before Thomas grabbed her wrist and pulled her around to face him once more.
"You think I do not want you to come? You think I will not be wishing you were with me or we were doing something else all together for the entire evening? After all our years together I thought you would have some idea about how deeply I feel for you, but I guess I was wrong." Thomas told her, deeply hurt that she thought so little of him.
"Then why will you not ask me to come with you?" Alicia answered back, never one to back away from an argument.
"Because I am not allowed to. I am only allowed to go because it is Dena's entrance into society. I myself am too young but as she is my sister my parents are allowing me to go." Thomas gently took both her hands in his and stared her straight in the eye, "I promise, if I could, I would take you to every dance I ever attend."
Alicia blushed, knowing what he said was true and suddenly feeling ashamed at what she had said to him. Throwing her arms around him, Alicia buried her head in his chest, trying to hide the blush of shame that graced her face, "I am sorry," she whispered.
Thomas wrapped his arms tightly around her body, making Alicia sigh in contentment as he placed his chin on top of her head before planting a soft kiss on her hair, breathing in her scent as he did so. It never failed to calm him, although his heart would disagree, as it pounded wildly whenever he was in close proximity to the girl he currently held in his arms.
Their moment was broken as a rude clearing of the throat sounded from behind them. Turning around, Thomas noticed Bella and Edward standing right behind them; Edward glaring at him while Bella smiled softly. Even after all these years, it seemed that Edward had still not warmed up to Thomas, although the rest of the family, especially Bella and Esme who treated him as a second son and grandson, while Anthony looked up to him like an older brother.
"Sir Cullen, Bella," Thomas began before Edward spoke over him.
"What are you doing so close to my daughter Thomas?" Edward asked calmly, however the undertone of anger was clearly detectable; which frightened both Thomas and Alicia. It was better to have Edward Cullen yell at you rather than have him use his "calm" tone.
It took a moment for the two children to realise how close their bodies were and what it must look like to Alicia's overprotective father; her arms thrown around his neck while he had his face buried in her hair as their bodies were pushed as closely together as their clothes would allow.
Thomas ripped himself away from Alicia's body as though it was burning him. "Sir, I can assure you we were doing nothing inappropriate, I would never disrespect Alicia or the rules you set in such a way. I was simply comforting her..."
"Why did she need comforting?" Edward cut across, "What did you do to upset her?" he accused.
"Nothing Papa," Alicia responded before Thomas could form an answer, "He was telling me why I could not accompany him to Dena's entrance into society ball; that is all."
"And why can she not attend with you?" Edward asked, seeming desperate to pin something on the boy before him.
"Oh Edward do not be so ridiculous," Bella scolded her husband, placing her hand on his chest, "You know just as well as I do that Alicia is simply too young to be invited to a ball. Stop trying to scare poor Thomas." Turning her attention to the two children before her, Bella smiled encouragingly, "Now, although you two cannot attend the ball together, I am sure you will not protest to a dance together, am I correct?"
Thomas nodded his head instantly, extremely eager to hold Lici in his arms as they swayed to music.
"But Mama, we do not know how to dance; Papa said I am still too young to learn the proper steps." Alicia complained, wanting more than anything to dance with her Thomas but knowing that she would not be able to do it perfectly, and she wanted their first dance together to be flawless.
"Well I am sure your father will not mind spending half an hour dancing with me as I teach you two, would you love?" Bella asked, turning her gaze to her husband once more as she unleashed the look she knew he could not refuse.
"Fine," Edward sighed reluctantly, "Off you two go to the ballroom, your mother and I will join you in a moment Alicia." The two children set off happily down the corridor, but as Edward noticed their bodies becoming closer and closer, he had to intervene, "And I want at least half a foot between the pair of you at all times!"
As soon as the two turned the corner, Edward rounded on his wife, lowing his face until their noses were touching, "You owe me big time Mrs Cullen," he whispered, smiling all the while.
Bella grinned back up at her husband before standing on her tiptoes and whispering into his ear, "I will be sure to make up every second." By the time Bella had lowered herself back down a few moments later, Edward's jaw was slack and Bella was grinning like a fool. Quickly placing a kiss on Edward's lips, Bella grabbed his hand and pulled her still unresponsive husband away, claiming they could not keep the children waiting a moment longer.
Five minutes later and Alicia and Thomas were in awe as they watched the two adults glide across the dance floor beautifully, making no mistakes or slip ups. Bella was rather ungraceful on her feet in everyday life due to her lack of balance, but when she danced, she moved like the water, faultlessly.
Bella and Edward came to a stop and Bella began to issue instructions for the two children to follow. "Thomas, take Alicia into your arms, as you cannot do this dance if you are too far apart, "Bella continued as Edward attempted to protest; Thomas and Alicia on the other hand were eager to be in each other's arms once more.
"Now, Thomas step forward with your left foot while Alicia steps backwards on her right. Then, Thomas stretch your right foot to the right as Alicia steps to the left, before the pair of you bring your other foot to rest beside the foot you just moved." It took quite a bit of practise and stepping on each other's toes before the children mastered the steps but Alicia's parents were patient with them, correcting them gently when they made a mistake.
"Now you both need to repeat the steps you have just done, but with the other foot. So Thomas, you step back with your right foot as Alicia does the same with her left and continue on from there."
Ten minutes later and Thomas and Alicia looked as though they had been dancing these few steps together for years, moving in perfect synch with one another with each step they took.
"Now the pair of you have mastered the box step, you need to learn how to rotate while doing it." It was now Edward's turn to give out the instructions, "It is very simple so Thomas I hope you can keep up. With each half box turn, that is when you have placed your two feet together for the first time, you do a quarter turn to the left, which means that after four of these half boxes you will have come in a full circle. Do you understand?" Both Thomas and Alicia nodded before they set about learning how to turn. "You repeat this throughout the dance and voila, you have learnt the waltz." Edward concluded as he watched the glee that came across his daughter's perfect features, however he began to feel slightly uncomfortable watching the pair of them dance. "And remember, half a foot between the pair of you at all times." He yelled across the room, earning him a groan from his daughter and a slap in the chest from his wife.
-o-
"What on earth happened?" Alicia asked as she wiped the blood away as gently as she could, earning a hiss from Thomas as she did so.
"Nothing important," Thomas managed to grunt out as the cloth touched his raw fists once more.
"Nothing important?" Alicia repeated sarcastically, as she rinsed the cloth before applying it to the large gash on his cheek. "You knock on my window at thirty minutes past midnight, covered in blood and claim that nothing important has happened?"
"I handled it Alic—ow!" Alicia had brought the cloth down quite harshly on his face to show her annoyance.
"Oh I can see you handled it fantastically. If this is you handling something well, I would hate to see you handle something badly."
"Alicia I am sorry but it had to be done. I am sorry I upset you coming in in this state but you are the only one I trust not to judge me. Can you imagine what my father would say if he saw me like this?" Alicia was not pleased that Thomas was still avoiding giving an explanation for the reason he was in this state but she did stop attacking his face as viciously as she had been; although she was not sure what had to be done, she was extremely relieved that he had come to her instead of his father, who would have exploded at the state of his son.
Ten minutes later and Alicia was emptying the bowl of its water, wincing at the pink tinge it had taken due to all the blood Thomas had lost. She had applied the ointment to his cuts, but that was all she could do to heal them. When she returned to her room, Thomas was struggling to keep his eyes open, the events of the early morning having worn him out already.
Alicia quickly rested her body against the headboard, propping up pillows to make sure she was comfortable before she gently lowered Thomas's head to her lap; running her fingers through his thick blonde hair in an attempt to get him to sleep. It was not the first time they had found themselves in this situation; when Alicia was younger she would often fall asleep on Thomas' lap as his fingers ran through her hair. Although it did not happen as regularly, Thomas had also had to receive comfort this way a number of times, such as when his grandmother died; he was so upset that Alicia running her hands through his hair was the only way to soothe him.
Less than ninety seconds after his head had come to rest on Alicia's lap, Thomas was fast asleep, his breathing slow and steady. Alicia stared at him in wonder for a few moments, wondering how on earth she had found someone so wonderful when she was still so young, but it was not long after that she joined her beloved in a deep sleep.
Thomas was being shaken awake after what felt like a minute of sleep. Groaning at the pain that he felt across his body, Thomas began to mumble at Alicia that it was too early to be awoken, but when his eyes blinked open, all complaints died in his throat; he was face to face with Edward Cullen.
Throwing himself from the bed, his body groaning in protest, Thomas attempted to find a way to explain the situation Edward had found his daughter in. "S-sir, I swear on my life that nothing happened. We w-were just sleeping, I did not e-even realise I had fallen asleep. Alicia was simply comforting me..."
Edward lifted his finger to his lips, effectively silencing the stuttering teen before him, as he pointed towards his daughter, indicating that it would be in Thomas' best interest not to wake her, before he pointed to the door and began to leave the room himself; knowing that Thomas would follow him without a doubt.
The moment Thomas had shut Alicia's bedroom door quietly behind him, Edward began to speak. "I know nothing happened Thomas. As much as I hate the fact that you are in my daughter's room, no matter how much I want to hurt you for it, I know that you would never disrespect my Alicia that way." Edward hated having to even think about the fact that one day his daughter would no longer be as innocent as she would now, and it would more than likely be due to the hands of the boy before him, however he also knew that Thomas would never use Alicia that way without having put a ring on her finger first.
"However, I have been informed of an event that took place in the early hours of this morning on my land; an event that explains those cuts and cracked knuckles you are sporting." Thomas cringed, knowing that whatever was about to occur would be anything but good. "You father has also been informed and is waiting for the pair of us in my study; I do not think it would be wise to keep him waiting any longer, do you?"
"No sir," Thomas muttered miserably, heading towards the stairs to Edward's study.
Edward smirked as he walked behind Thomas. He knew that Harry could be quite hard on his son, but Edward hardly felt in the mood to prevent it; especially since he had found the boy in his daughter's bed with cuts and bruises after having beaten up Edward's godson.
Jacob Black had stormed into the Cullen household at an hour that was too early for Edward's liking, but the moment he found out the reason; Edward had fully supported him. Five years earlier, when Alicia was ten, the Black family had moved closer to the Cullen's, finally seeing it necessary due to all the trips they were making to visit one another. It was at this time the Jacob and Edward finally began to connect with one another, and their bond formed over one thing; Alicia.
Seth Black was in love with Alicia. It was clear for anyone with eyes to see; anyone apart from Alicia it seemed. Although Edward was not too thrilled with the thought that two boys were now fighting for his daughter's attention, the fact that Jacob had got involved in trying to put some distance between Alicia and Thomas, even if it were only to benefit his own son, was something Edward appreciated as it meant he had less to worry about. Their combined efforts of trying to keep Alicia the innocent little girl she was had caused a friendship to be forged between the two of them, and it worked well for the pair of them.
When Jacob had come into their house that morning and explained that Seth was covered in cuts and bruises after getting into a fight with Thomas over Alicia, Edward jumped at the chance to blame something on the boy. Alicia had been spending all of her time with him in the past few weeks, and Edward thought that if he informed Harry of his son's activities in the early morning hours, Alicia would be unable to spend all her time with Thomas as he would be grounded. If only Edward knew how right he was about to be.
"Sit down son," Harry Anderson had said the moment Thomas and Edward had entered the room. Edward was a little upset that Harry had taken his seat behind the desk, but if it meant that he would find it easier to enforce his authority Edward was all for it.
Thomas took the seat in front of the desk and looked down at his hands, dreading the punishment that was about to befall him. "Now Thomas, Edward here has informed me of your late night activities. Is there anything you can say that will justify these actions?"
Thomas shook his head. He knew that if he explained the way Seth had taunted him about winning Alicia away from him would simply land him in more trouble; no one knew that the two boys were fighting for the affections of the one girl; his Alicia.
Edward decided now was the time to have his say, "Thomas, I know, as much as I hate to admit it, that you care a great deal for my daughter. I am also aware that you know that Seth is also attracted to my little girl. Although you may have thought that you were protecting her honour, I cannot allow my Alicia to be exposed to violence. I am sure you did not explain the reason behind your cuts, but the moment she sees Seth she will be able to put the two pieces together, and I do not want to be the one to explain why the two of you are causing such harm to one another. That being said, I informed your father of the events of this morning, because I believe you and Alicia need to spend some time apart; you have been spending all your time together and that is just not healthy. I really do think that if you were grounded for a few weeks that the separation would do the pair of you some good."
"Mr Cullen, Sir, I am sorry about what happened this morning, it was completely unacceptable and I understand that you cannot condone that sort of behaviour in front of your daughter, but please, please, do not separate me from Alicia for that long. I know you do not think our relationship is healthy and I know that you do not like the way I feel about your daughter but please sir?" Thomas begged unashamed, desperate to make Edward understand that he could not, and would not, be separated from Alicia for two weeks. They had never spent that much time apart, and he knew it would kill him.
"Save some dignity son; a proper man does not beg," Harry stated before Edward could reply to Thomas' plea. "And as you well know, it is not Edward who provides you with the punishment, so there is really no point in begging him to lessen your sentence. Thomas sagged in his seat, knowing from previous experience that his punishment was to be hard, due to his father's tone of voice.
"I myself agree with Edward that it is not healthy that you are spending so much time with Alicia. You are already nineteen years old and you have yet to see anything of the world; refusing to go on any holidays with myself or your mother if it meant being separated from Alicia for an extended period of time." Thomas held his breath, wondering what his lack of holidays had to do with anything, "That being said, I think it would be a good idea if you took this time to enjoy your youth. Your uncle has contacted me a number of times about sending you over to his home to learn the tricks of the trade for a summer, and I have finally agreed due to the stunt you pulled this morning." Thomas began shaking his head violently, seeing what was about to happen. "There is no use looking at me like that son; what is done is done. I have already sent a letter to your uncle informing him of your impending visit and ordered one of the servants to book your boat ticket. You will be leaving for Italy for six months tomorrow."
No matter how hard he tried, Thomas could not hold back the tears that fell from his eyes, nor the sob that ripped itself from his chest.
-o-
My dearest Thomas,
It has only been a week since your departure, and yet I already feel dead inside. Each day that goes by feels longer and longer; I am sure it is years passing and not days. Papa is still attempting to talk to me, but I refuse. Until you return home, I refuse to talk to my father, as he was the one who put this distance between us.
Seth has attempted on numerous occasions to get me to come outside and enjoy the weather but I reject his offer every time. I cannot enjoy anything without you by my side as everything reminds me of you.
Mama is on my side. I heard her yelling at Papa about your departure; I finally understand where I got my temper from. Mama tries to soothe me and make me believe that our time apart will fly by but I know better. Anthony has also been deeply upset by your departure; he does not understand why you had to leave without saying goodbye.
Although I do not know the reason you got sent away, I want you to know Thomas that no matter how much I pushed you that night, it no longer matters to me what you did. Nothing you could do deserves this sort of punishment.
Tell me, what is it like in Italy? Is the weather satisfactory? Are the people pleasant? Are you picking up the language? Please tell me something happy Thomas, as all I feel remaining here at home is misery.
All my love,
Lici
My darling Alicia,
Please talk to your father; if not for your benefit then for mine, I cannot have him blame me for his daughter refusing to speak to him. You must know Alicia that it was not he who put the distance between us; it was my father and my actions alone. Mr Cullen attempted to reason with my father, informing him that even this punishment was too harsh for my actions and he would be happy if we were to be separated for simply a few days but my father refused to back down. Please talk to him my love; I need you to be talking to him once more if I am to ever gain approval in his eyes.
I am sorry that you feel so miserable at home, but know that you do not suffer alone. You ask me what the weather is like, I cannot tell you. All I see is the dark cloud hanging over my head due to the distance between us. I only have to company of my aunt and uncle as I am yet to leave their land, but I am sure the people are lovely. I am sorry that I could not provide you with the happy news you long for, but I am struggling to be happy out here as I am so far away from you.
With all the love I have,
Thomas
Dearest Thomas,
I did what you requested and began to speak to Papa once more. It took a while for us, a lot of screaming and crying, to come to an understanding, but I have finally accepted that it was not my father's choice to send you so many miles away from me. I have also managed to make Papa accept that you are the largest part of my life and always will be, and that he must accept that I will be spending all the time I can with you once you return to me. I cannot say he was too thrilled with the idea, but due to my miserable behaviour for the past few weeks, I believe he is more than willing to accept it.
Thomas, did you mean it when you called me your love? You have never said anything like that before.
I am so sorry for such a brief letter but I must go now; Uncle Jasper and Auntie Alice have just arrived with all the children, and I just know the house is about to fall into chaos because of it.
Thinking and missing you always,
Alicia.
Alicia,
Of course I meant it. I would never say anything untrue to you. That being said I have something I must inform you of.
Alicia Cullen, I love you mind body and soul. I have ever since I laid eyes on you and I am so sorry it has taken me sixteen years to tell you; and in a letter no less. But please know that what I say are the most honest words I have ever written.
With all my love for eternity,
Thomas
Alicia please respond.
I am terribly sorry if I upset you with my confession in the previous letter. I am sure it was not the romantic declaration you were hoping for and I understand if my feelings are not reciprocated, if you view me as your best friend and your best friend alone, but please, please inform me of your reaction to my previous letter. It is driving me insane with worry as I do not know how you are feeling.
Even if you write me a letter simply to reject my feelings towards you, I need to know one way or the other.
Thomas.
Thomas you fool,
Of course I feel the same way. I have been in love with you ever since I can remember. I am also so sorry it took me so many years to confess my feelings but I feared rejection. Please do not apologise for the letter or for the way you phrased your words. Any indication of your feelings towards me would have made for the most perfect letter, and the fact that you have stated your love for me in the letter means that I shall cherish it forever.
Just two and a half more months separate us, and although it is hard, I know now that we can make it through them. Our love for one another will keep us strong.
Please tell me that you have left your uncle's land by now and that you are having a wonderful time in Italy. I cannot bear the thought of you being miserable for these past three and a half months all alone.
Sending every ounce of love in my body,
Alicia
My love Alicia,
Your reciprocation of my feelings has made me the happiest man on earth. I walk around with the largest smile on my face, scaring both my aunt and uncle and the locals around the village. I am now having a wonderful time in Italy, but it is not due to the country itself, it is because now I can count the days until I return to you. Though I am not due home for a month, please tell me that you will be willing to meet me in our meadow at sunrise on the 23rd? I want your face to be the first I see when I return home.
Not long now my love,
Thomas
-o-
Alicia was standing in the meadow, the smile that was originally placed on her face slowly slipping. The sun was starting to rise and Thomas was still nowhere to be seen; he was never one to be late.
She was starting to panic. Had something happened to his boat on the way home? Had he arrived home yet? Had he forgotten that he had arranged to meet her? Trying to reassure herself, Alicia looked around the field once more; desperate for any sign of Thomas. Just as she was about to complete her turn, a movement in the bushes caught the corner of her eye.
Squinting, Alicia tried to take a closer look to figure out what was causing the movement. A few seconds later, a figure pulled itself from the bushes and it took less than a moment for Alicia to realise it was Thomas.
A large grin spread across her cheeks as Alicia hurtled herself towards him. She raced across the meadow as though she were being chased by the devil himself before throwing herself into Thomas' arms, causing the wind to be knocked out of him as he wrapped his arms around her waist to keep them both steady on their feet.
"If this is the reaction I get I will have to leave more often," Thomas joked as he brushed a stray bit of hair away from Alicia's perfect face.
Alicia was instantly shaking her head, pulling herself back from Thomas' body slightly but only so that she could reach his face, "Never, never, ever, again," she stated as she placed small kisses all over Thomas' face.
"As much as I am enjoying your affection my love, there is something I must do before we go any further," Thomas said quietly as he cradled Alicia's face in his hands.
Alicia was deeply confused; they had been separated for six months, in which time they had confessed their love for one another, surely it was acceptable for them to spend a little more time alone together before they had to return home to the others?
Thomas slowly slid his hands away from Alicia's face and down her sides until he held her hands with his own. His body slowly followed, and before Alicia could comprehend the event that was about to occur, Thomas was on his knee before her.
Alicia gasped, her hand flying involuntarily to her mouth as she took in the sight before her. Thomas took the opportunity to pull out the ring box he had been carrying in his pocket for the past two months, before he slowly lifted the lid to show Alicia the ring that was placed underneath; holding his breath as he awaited her reaction.
Tears began to fill Alicia's eyes and Thomas took this as the sign to begin his declaration of love. "Alicia, as we both know, I have loved you since the moment you are born; and I will be forever sorry for taking all the years away from us as I was not brave enough to admit my feelings for you. But I want you to know that the love I feel for you will never waver or diminish over time; I know that it will only grow more potent and deeper the older we are. For you see, each day I love you more; today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. You may think we are moving too fast, but please realise that you are the only woman I will ever want. I have already spoken to your father and he has given me his blessing to ask this of you, as long as you are over the age of eighteen when the day comes. So, Alicia Rose Cullen, would you please do me the honour of becoming my wife?"
Alicia did not even have to think. "Yes. Yes. YES! Of course I will!"
Thomas grinned until it hurt his face, as he slid the ring home onto Alicia's engagement finger. He placed a soft kiss on her finger before he rose to his feet and threw his arms around his fiancée.
After a few moments, the engaged pulled themselves away from one another and gazed into each other's eyes. The air around them was static and they both knew what was about to come.
Every so slowly, as though he were trying not to scare her, Thomas began to lean in. Alicia moved her head forward slightly and before they had a chance to over think it, the couple were engaged in their first kiss; and it was perfect.
So that was the first outtake. I hope I haven't lost the flow but let me know if I have and I will try and improve by the next outtake.
I hope you enjoyed it and I am sorry again for the really long wait for this chapter; it won't happen again.
Also sorry for the messy lay out; FF is messing up!
What did all you guys think of Eclipse by the way? I thought it was by far the best of the three.
Until next time. :)
