| Chapter 5: Emily slammed her door shut, and threw herself on her bed. How could she have done this? How could she have almost tell Lucky she loved him, she loved him to the moon and back, she loved him more then there were stars in the sky.
Late at night when all the world is sleeping ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Lucky took the ladder and placed it near Emily’s window. He climbed up and steadied himself on the roof, trying to be careful not to slip on the ice. He approached her window and saw that she had flung herself on her bed, the way the women always did in old movies when they were upset over something. He stood there looking at her for a few moments. He took his gloved hand and tapped on her window. Emily shot up at the sound of something, or rather someone tapping on her window. She got up and walked over. She pushed the curtain back and saw Lucky. She opened the window and looked at him Emily: What the hell are you doing here Lucky. Lucky: I need to talk to you, you’ve been crying. Emily: Yeah I have, it’s no big deal. Lucky: Em, I love you. Please tell me you love me. Emily: I can’t Lucky. Lucky: Why? Emily: You know why. Lucky: Em, if you don’t love him don’t marry him Emily: Lucky, just go. Lucky: I love you Em. Never forget that. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Lucky sat at the foot of his bed, it was only seven minutes till mid-night, only seven minutes until Christmas Eve. What were his reason’s for returning home? Why, why had he flown across the country only to have his heartbroken by the only woman he could ever truly love? He feel backwards on the bed and closed his eyes. Tears began to fall from his eyes. How could he stay here? How could he be the best man at the wedding of his brother and only love? ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ |
