“FP, as captain of the neighbourhood watch I am obligated to ask what you are doing on this side of town.” Alice strolled towards the man she thought she would never lay eyes on again.
“Don’t act like you’re so high and mighty Alice, you may not live on the south side anymore…you may not dress like you’re from the south side…but we both know the truth. Snake don’t shed their skin so easily.”
“Good night FP, now get the hell out of my neighbourhood.”
“You’re still hot Alice, too bad you’re a stick in the mud” getting in his truck he took one last glance at the woman he loved so many years ago.
FP was awoken to a loud banging on his front door, “I heard you the first 10 times cut it ou-, Alice? What are you doing here it is 6 in the morning.”
“Well maybe you can’t afford an alarm clock over here on the south side but us normal functioning people of society like to get and start the day before lunch time.” Alice snaps back whilst pushing past FP into his sorry excuse of a living room.
“I’m almost certain you didn’t come here for a catch up like old times so why are you here Alice?” Alice swallowed and looked down towards her feet.
“why did you leave me, without any explanation, without any reason I loved you FP and I know it’s been over 20 years but seeing you last night just reminded me of how broken I was I deserve an explanation and I came here to get it. She looked up her hand were trembling FP pretended not to notice but he did and it broke his heart you see FP loved Alice he loved her more than anything on this god forsaken earth but when Hal Coopers father threatened to have FP’s mother killed if he didn’t give Alice up he didn’t have a choice he had to let her go.
“Alice I’m not doing this the past is in the past move on go back to your perfect life with your perfect husband.” FP rolled his eyes as he pushed past her angrily walking out the front door.
“So that’s it then huh you can’t even tell me why everyone told me I would only end up getting hurt, I should have listened!” Alice yelled out to FP stopping him in his tracks.
“You know what Alice fine, if you really want to know here it is, your snotty jackass of a husband got his dad to threating to kill my mother if I didn’t leave you alone, you wanted the truth you got it!” FP’s voice turned into almost a whisper.
“Don’t you dare lie to me”
“You don’t have to believe me…Alice just know that you were my world, you meant everything to me and choosing to leave you, that was the hardest decision of my life. Why do you think I’m a no good drunk yeah I found someone else but it was never the same I never stopped loving you Alice, I will never stop loving you.” FP slowly walked towards Alice tears brimming in his eyes.
“Why didn’t you just tell me you knew how I felt about you at least if I had to stop seeing you I wouldn’t have hated you for all these years.”
“Alice, we both know you wouldn’t have ever given up on us, it just wouldn’t have been fair to either of us.”
“I can’t believe I wasted all of my time with that, that monster. I feel so stupid. FP I’m so sorry it must have been heart breaking seeing me end up with him. I am so unbelievably stupid.” FP Quickly walked over to Alice and wrapped his arms around her.
“Don’t ever say again, you are not stupid you didn’t know I am the stupid one I should have never let such and amazing woman out of my life, but actions have consequences and I have to live with mine every day.” Alice looked up slowly she pulled FP’s face down towards hers’ as their lips touched she remembered everything she ever felt for FP. The kiss deepened as both Alice and FP had tears streaming down their face only know realising how much they have missed each other and how much they desperately needed each other back.
