fan)
Allison Falcon is a spoiled brat and a total
party animal; she spends most of her time on malls, clubs and spa’s. For her
money, fame, beauty is everything. She is a total heartbreaker; she had many
flings and affairs on her life. She
never thought about love; she believes that true love only happens on Fairytale
books.
Allison grew up on a wealth family. Her parents
are both mob bosses and can provide her protection, money and fame that she
wants. Her parents had never been the ‘parent-type’ they spent their time on
work and never paid too much attention to Allison, they thought that giving her
everything and spoiling her shows her their love but unknown to them it
completely destroyed her life.
Edward Caruso is the son of a powerful mob on New York. His family is
the rival of the Falcon’s. Edward is the serious type of person, he likes being
alone and he is not the social type of person, as his friends call him a
complete ‘Loner’.
Both of their family had been on each other’s
throats for years. Would that change?
++++++++++++
It was winter when they met. A party at the local
pub hosted by the mob bosses; every mob of New York attended including the two
powerful rival families (The Falcon’s and the Caruso’s) The party went well
Allison’s friends and Edward’s friends introduced them to each other and on an
instant they felt sparks when they looked at each other’s eyes. The party was
going great until a loud shot broke the fun. The gun shot came from the center
of the dance floor. Both the Falcon’s
and the Caruso were standing there pointing guns at each other. Another gun
shot came off and the riot began. Allison and Edward escaped the pub together.
They drove their way to the park and talked. They talked about each other and
their hobbies. They had many interest in
common. Before they departed on their separate ways they exchanged their phone
numbers and promised that its not the last time they will see each other.
They stayed in contact and often go out. Every
time they are with each other’s company they became closer to each other.
Unknown to them a special relationship is building between them. Time had
passed and they still and their friendship still stayed strong.
Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months.
Edward slowly developed feelings on Allison but
he was afraid that she doesn’t feel the same. Unknown to him that Allison feels
the same way as he is. Unable to take action on each other’s feelings their
friends decided to team up and set them up. They did everything just to bring
their friends to tell each other what they feel. After a few attempts they
finally succeeded.
Edward asked Allison on the night of their dinner
date that their fiends set them up. Their friends said that it would be a
dinner date but when the two of them arrived there was no one there. The butler
gave them a note that says about the set up date. Their friends were watching
them the whole time at the window smiling and giggling seeing what’s happening
to them.
At the end of the night Edward told Allison what
he really feels about her which she accepted and told him that she feels the
same to him.
+++++++++++
Their relationship stayed strong their friends
helped them on the Sneaking out that they do just to see each other. What they
did not know is that their parents were spying them.
One night on their date everything was going
smoothly until the Falcon’s broke down the door. They dragged Allison to home
and her father threatened Edward that if he won’t stay away from his daughter
he would kill him.
Days passed. Both of them missed each other’s
company. Allison isn’t even on her normal self anymore, she doesn’t much talk
like she use to be, she doesn’t go out and she doesn’t even want to eat
anymore. Edward was also on the same state he tried to contact her cell number
but found it to be cut off. News devastated them more. Allison had been betrothed
to the son of the mob boss on England,
Luis Scott. Both of them were heartbroken when Edward discovered that he was
also betrothed to a woman named Ashley Wilson.
++++++++++++++
At Allison’s engagement party Edward and his
‘fiancée’ arrived. When Allison looked at Edward’s eye she can see his longing
and sadness. Unknown to them is that their friends again planned something to
get them back together.
Allison’s friends helped her to get out of her
fiancée’s grasp and escorted her at the park.
+++++++++++++++++++
At the party Allison’s father searched for her.
He was suspicious about her friends. They had been whispering to each other and
he suspected that they plan on helping Allison sneak about to meet the Caruso
boy. His suspicion was confirmed when he saw his daughter left with her
friends.
Furious, he called the whole mafia and followed
the car that her daughter rode. When they arrived he saw his daughter with the
Caruso boy again and he ordered his gang to separate the two and beat Edward
+++++++++++++++
The couple walked at the park holding each
other’s hand. They momentarily stopped and hugged each other. Somewhat Alison
can feel something bad would happen.
She was right the moment of happiness for them
was cut off when someone grabbed her from behind and held Edward. She saw his
dad walking out of the shadow’s with a furious expression on his face. He
ordered the men to hold Allison and beat Edward in front of her, letting him
watch her lover suffer. She tried to plead on her dad to let go of Edward but
he wouldn’t listen.
After they had beaten
Edward to pulp she again plead to her father to let her talk to Edward for a
moment promising that he would marry Luis immediately if she would let her.
Delighted by this preposition her father agreed.
Park Scene:
She kneeled beside him. He was completely a mess;
his handsome face was covered with his own blood coming from his bruises.
“Allison…” she heard him whisper silently. He
opened his eyes and looked at her puffy red ones. “Why are you crying honey?
Don’t cry…” he whispered having no energy to talk out loud.
“I want to ask you something before I go.” She
said sobbing silently.
“What is it?” he asked.
"If I was gone, would you remember me?"
she asked holding his hand.
He furrowed his brow. What was she talking about?
"Yes." He answered.
"If you never saw me again, would you still
love me?" He nodded his head completely confused.
"If we could meet again in another
life," she whispered, her voice cracking, "would you love me
again?"
“Yes” he responded
She looked at him and kissed his forehead. He
can’t understand the meaning of the kiss; it was like a farewell kiss to him.
“Goodbye….Edward.” she said and ran off.
He couldn’t bear the pain on is body anymore. As
soon as the words “I love you” left his lips he was wrapped into the darkness.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Allison with her family stayed at the hotel
before her wedding. After her last conversation with Edward she decided to do
the only one solution that she could think off. The pain on her chest was unbearable,
every time she close her eyes all she can see is his face, his smile and
everything about him. She couldn’t take it anymore.
She was at her room alone sitting on her bed
crying. She made up her mind; she couldn’t live without him its better to die
than to marry another man. She opened the drawer and picked the vial. “It’s now or never” she thought as she
poured some wine and added a few drops of the vial. Carrying the glass she
walked to the terrace. She looked up the stars and said.
“I love you very much Edward
I will not live without you,
I will not live at all
My heart would always belong to you.
I would always be yours.” A tear ran down to her
face. She smiled sadly.
“Maybe in other time life wouldn’t be so cruel
and we would be together again my love. I will wait for you. Goodbye.” She said
as she took a sip of the wine. The glass shattered as she dropped it. She fell
down with a thud, she just looked like sleeping.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Her death had been the latest gossip on the mob community.
Edward was devastated as he looked from afar on her burial. After everyone had
left he walked at her gravestone.
Hot tears blurred his sight
His heart pounded like the beat of million drums.
He realized that now HIS Allison is gone he is
alone, completely, truly, and utterly alone.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As they passed by he can still see her o his
dreams. Her beautiful face smiling at him. He can hear her laugh.
He can see them and their supposed to be happy
ending.
In his dream he can see that they were together
happier than ever.
They sat
on a hill overlooking the cemetery where she is buried.
They are next to each other, underneath a
leafless tree in the dead of winter. They sat at the park like the first time
he told her he loves her. The dream is always the same.
He can still fell her, among the stars, smiling
at him, somewhere.
“I will be with you soon my love.”He
whispered as he looked at the sky.
She told him, “You don't belong where
I am.”He
wanted to protest, but there's nobody there to argue with. He was staring at
the dark, black lake. Finally, He forced to accept it.
I know.
He can almost feel her touch for a moment and then she is gone and where her
presence used to be, is a cold, dead, empty void.
Life will go on. It is a fact that he can not
change; can not forget. Whether she is here or not, whether she is real on his
dreams or in the morning. Whether he will die in a month or live tomorrow and
forever.
People will forget. People will leave. People will feel joy. People will feel
pain.
The clouds will keep on moving across the sky. The oceans will keep crashing
onto the shore. The earth will keep on spinning. But he vowed to never forget
her while he lives.
Because she was the only one who could have him
UNDONE.
The End
