About a Girl

“Ow…” I mumbled quietly to myself as I stood just outside of the pavillion gates. The show had ended probably half an hour ago and I had walked out here, roughly five minutes ago. I knew Will would sign want to take a shower and maybe sign a few pictures or shoes (if they was one – there usually is) before making his way out here – and I had the unfortunate task of waiting. Waiting usually led me to thinking and well thinking got me to…

I began wondering where this was all going to go. Was I going to fall for Will again? He hurt me a lot and I’m pretty sure the trust between us is completely shot but yesterday when he kissed me; I couldn’t help but kiss him back and what about Alex? That kiss with Alex was so perfect and it just didn’t stop there. When Alex pulled me down to the floor and I deepened the kiss; I ended up on top of him and needless to say it got really heated. I knew it needed to stop but I couldn’t bring myself to tear my lips from Alex’s.

Thankfully though, Alex was smart enough to – before we ended up with our pants off. Though…, that didn’t stop his shirt from being ripped off and thrown somewhere. We still hadn’t found it before the show or when I was getting ready to leave. Alex looked very… gloomy? That I had decided to go; but then again, didn’t he know all along that I would go?

All that thinking is what led to my ‘Ow’. My mind was on overload. I just wish everything was simpler. Ah, like that will every happen. What would my life be like if I didn’t have boys complicating it?

”Normal,” Great, see. Now I know that everything is truly getting to me – I’m talking to myself.

“Addie, y-you look beautiful. Absolutely, completely gorgeous,” I turned around in almost a completely circle to see Will walking towards me hastily. He was dressed completely to the nines. In a suite that was not quite a tuxedo, but classy enough. It made me almost speechless. “Addie? Are you still with me?”

I guess I had been a little too out of it as I had taken in what Will was wearing; I laughed, “Yeah, I’m still, Will.”

Will smiled, “That’s great. Can I just say, first thing – that I’m speechless on how happy I am that you decided to indulge me on coming out with me tonight.”

I laughed, “How many times do you rehearse that in the mirror?”

His smile faltered a little as he sighed, “Like, thirty times at least.”

I laughed as we stuck out his arm for me to take and led me to a cab that I assume that he had called beforehand. Will really had thought of everything. As we got settled into the cab and the cabbie started to ask us where we wanted to go; Will simply handed a piece of paper to him. The cabbie looked at it kind of funny for a second and then took off without a word.

“What’s that about?” I asked as the cab rolled on. I looked down and noticed that Will and we weren’t sitting very closely. I smiled at that, he really was taking this very slowly.

“Well, I’m not about to give you any hints about where we are headed. I have this planned out to be perfect and I want it to be as amazing as I hope,” Will explained as the cab began to stop.

“We’re here, Mr. Beckett and Miss. Siska,” The Cabbie spoke politely from the front. Wow, talk about one of the nicest cabbies in the world.

I went to get out of the cab but Will told me to stay put for just a second. I was completely confused by what was going on but nonetheless, I stayed put. I waited a few seconds and Will opened my door for me. I smiled up at him as he took my hand and helped me out, “Thank you.”

“It’s no problem; do you see where we are?” I looked up and around to the familiar entrance to see that we were at the Paramount Theatre.

I smiled; we were going to see a play – that’s why we were so dressed up, “We’re at the Paramount. What are we going to see, Will?”

“That’s also going to be a surprise; but I’m sure you’re going to love it.” Will smiled back at me as we walked in and quickly walked up a flight of stairs. My mind began to wonder where are seats were – we didn’t have balcony seats, did we? I may not be an expert on The Theatre, but I know that balcony seats are expensive.

We came towards a door where a man was standing in a suite that was a little less formal than Will’s. This man greeted Will as ‘Mr. Beckett’ and opened the door for us. Will pushed we forward, before him and I walked in quickly. It turns out I was exactly right – for probably the first time in my life, we did have balcony seats and they were very close to the stage. We were going to have an excellent view of the play.

“Do you like it? So far, I mean – there’s a lot more, still to come,” I turned around quickly as Will’s voice came over me. Will was sitting in a chair that was seated directly behind where I was standing.

I leaned back against the edge of the balcony, “I love it, Will. You didn’t have to get us balcony seats. I mean, just think of how much it would cost to fill up every seat in here...,” I waved my hand around the balcony that probably contained, at most, ten seats.

“Addie, I know how much it costs to fill this box – I bought it out for the showing tonight,” Will admitted.

I rose an eyebrow up at him, “Why would you do that? That is way too much money to be spent on me,” I was about to go farther on my little rampage about for that money shouldn’t have been spent on me but then Will stood up and we were suddenly stomach to stomach, pressed against each other.

“Addison Marie Siska,” Will said this slowly and calmly – I guess so I knew he wasn’t yelling at me or anything. “Never, ever think that you are not worth all that you are. The money I spent, doesn’t even come close to how much I owe you – how much I need to make up to you and like I said before, I will not give up until you are back in my arms, forever.”

I couldn’t help but smile. I part of me really wanted to let Will back in my life because I knew that he was sorry and that he really wouldn’t stop until he got me back – so maybe it was that part that was slowly taking over, because I leaned up and kissed Will on the cheek, “Thank you, Bilvy.”

“No – please don’t thank me, yet,” Will held up his hand and walked to the back of the room to where I couldn’t see him but could hear him moving around. When he came back he was holding his hands behind his back.

“What do you have there, Mr. Beckett?” I questioned him, jokingly.

“Something that you’ll like,” Will brought his hands back around to the front and as he opened his palm, I saw an oval shaped locket. On the front, a broken heart was sewed together. “There’s an inscription on the inside too…”

Will handed me the locket and I grabbed it clumsily, almost dropping it, causing Will to laugh. The locket clicked opened and I spoke the inscription out loud, “Forever Alone Until I Found You.”

It nearly baffled me, because I knew that I had heard that before and then it dawned on me that that the inscription was from ’Days Like Masquerades’. “You wrote a song about me?”

“No – every single song on that EP is about you, Addie,” I small gasp escaped from my lips as I felt my eyes tear up. I was highly away of Will wrapping his arms around me and rubbing my back. How could I not have noticed that? How could I not see I was missing him just as badly as he was missing me?
