Halloween And The City Part I

Emily was caught up in the vision of Jordan's lips when a Sara knocked on her door. The vision vanished. Emily got up to answer the door. Sara was in tears. "He dumped me, Em. I don't know what I can do without him. Part of me wants him back but another part wants to punch him." "Oh Sara," Emily went to hug her friend, " I'm so sorry!" "Seriously, Em, he said he's "not feeling it". I think he found some one else. Meredith saw him hugging and kissing another girl in Starbuck's. I feel depressed!" Sara collapsed on Emily's bed. Emily spoke," I think Alec likes you still. He acts mean, but it's because he's hurting without you. I know this takes a while to get over, but I think his feelings never went away. Serious!" "Your right," Sara exclaimed, " He warned me as well! I didn't listen. I thought he was trying to break us up, but he was protecting me. I am so blind!" Sara rushed out and said, "See you later!" She slammed the front door to their apartment so loud that Meredith came out of the kitchen. "Where's she going?" She said. "Maybe, Lizzie's! She left in a rush. That's probably it!" Emily replied. Just then a knock was on the door. Emily jumped up to get it while Meredith was chopping onions and wiping the mascara she applied that was smudged on her face from her lunch date with Kevin earlier. It was Kathleen, their neighbor and friend. "Hey, can I borrow some conditioner? I'm out!" Emily let her in, and went to the bathroom. Meredith said, "Don't look over here! Beware!" Kathleen giggled. "So," when Emily came back, " How's Mittens?" " Good, but he's getting fat! I think he needs to be on a diet. That veterinarian, Mr. Decker is quite handsome. I'm taking him in tomorrow." As they chatted, Sara was making her way to Alec's, when Sebastian crossed the street holding hands with a red headed girl wearing a tank top. She had a belly button ring too. "Elaine! What are you doing?!" "Just chillin', with my new boyfriend!"  She replied, then said, " How about you?" "Sara was about to say something when Alec came up behind her glaring at Elaine in a negative way. "You...." Sara said crossly, "Your using her to break us up, so you can have me to your self. Well I hate you! You might have gotten between us, but you'll never have me." As Sara walked away, she thought of the song, " Gives You Hell", and oh, yes, she'd love to give those people HELL! She looked up when she heard thunder and lightning. she should hurry back. By the time she did, no one was there to let her in, and she lost her key. Just as things couldn't get worse, she saw a rat! EEW! She ran down the fire escape, and collided into something. When she looked up she saw Alec. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" She fumed, "GO AWAY!" " Sara," Alec pleaded, "I was just as surprised as you were. You have no right to be angry at me! You walked away from that party a long time ago, you wouldn't even open the door. I am the victim. I loved you....still do..." He panted  hard as if the air would flow out of his lungs any minute. " You chose that guy over me, and he doesn't even love you." Sara felt like he had slapped her in the face. " Sebastian loved me!" "Well," Alec replied, "Why did he take a fancy to Elaine like that if he loved you? I only put Elaine there to prove a point. He advanced on her, not the other way around. I wanted you to see who he really was. He's not a man that can be tied down. He lied to you and you didn't see it." Then Alec said, Elaine was jealous of you when we were together, but I never saw her that way. I tried, when you ended things, but it was only you I saw. I can't stand flirting with her. There's only one love in my life. That's you.....even if you don't feel that way for me. I'm sorry. But it's true." Sara couldn't think of a word to say, instead, and she didn't know why, but she pulled him close....very close...and kissed him like she never had before. "I was scared you'd pick her because she's pretty, and your parents loved her." He replied, "I don't care what my parents think, and frankly she's actually not that pretty. You are inside and out." Sara closed her eyes to the words she's shot down so long ago. Could she have him the way she used to, or did she mess that up. Night was falling fast, as she sat on the stairs trying to make up her mind about who to trust. She decided to find Sebastian. He'd be dressed up as a pirate at Time's Square. She had to hurry!
