The encounter

It's been a long day

without you my friend

Alex pov:

I'm back in the bar.

Again.

The one I heard that girl in.

I've been here almost everyday since I heard that voice.

I don't even know if it really is her, but I had to be sure so every chance I got after another useless day at the studio I went to the same dinky little bar.

Every time I never catch her.

I don't know if she is a regular or if she had just come across this place the same day that I was there but I felt like I needed to take the chance on if it was her or not by just... sitting and waiting.

It's around 11am because I asked for a break for songwriting. Not that there's a lot of that going on anyways, but hearing that voice that was dormant in my mind for so long has got something's spiraling in my mind. I just need to find the right words to express it within the lyrics of a song.

I came around the same time as last time, just in case she comes in the mornings, or her agenda means that she comes in the mornings. Again, I don't know if it is her but I'm almost 99% sure that it is because, although her voice hasn't been one that I have heard recently at all, my mind could never deceive the deep, raspy, loving tone of it. I would always want to make her talk me to sleep. Whether it was telling me a tale or a story of something I never knew about her, would always lull me to sleep with the most enchanting voice you have ever heard in your life. But I had to ruin it all by prioritizing myself over the only woman I have ever truly loved.

I haven't figured out what I am going to do if I find out it is her though.

I haven't spoken or seen her in so long, yet I can still picture her perfectly in my mind.

Her perfect long flowing brown hair, her deep green jade eyes, her pale yet beautiful skin, her perfect height of 5'6 compared to my 5'9. She was in every way a beautiful human being that had a heart of gold. Honestly I never knew what she saw in me, because all I proved to be was the worst person for her. If she had wanted I bet she could have been one of the most famous models you have heard of. Truly an angelic presence anyone could ever wish for.

Deep in my thoughts initially I don't hear the ring of the chiming bell toll above the door.

Or the clang of heels walking across the wooden floor.

Or the smell of a pungent perfume invading my senses rapidly as she sits on the stool opposite me.

I'm currently sat at the long open top bar that is spread across the back of the pub where the alcohol is. She is in clear view of me but as I wasn't paying attention she has had time to turn around and talk to someone I have never seen before. Granted, I keep to myself 90% of the time unless we have an event so I probably wouldn't know anyone here if I tried.

As he and she are talking, her back turned towards me and him visible to my eyeline, he smiles brightly and seems to crack a joke that has got her in hysterics. He doesn't look bad, dark, dirty blonde hair, face shape of Johnny Depp, bright piercing blue eyes and a smile that would make any girl swoon, he could get anyone he wanted as it seems. He has the whole German model type vibe, blue eyes and blond hair. I can only assume that the woman he is talking to is the same woman that I had watched walk out of the door a week prior due to the colour of her hair.

A simple yet hope inducing characteristic.

Her dark brown hair in waves across her back and she bobs up and down from the laughter emitting from her mouth. The sound I can hear, although slightly muffled from the distance, from where I am sitting.

Thor as I have decided to call him must have said his goodbyes as he is now walking away from the daringly mysterious woman and leaves with a chime of the bell at the door. I can't help but hold my breath as she turns around and reveals her face to me.

And when I see the face, forever burned into my memory, of the woman I have only ever felt strongly enough to have taken for granted, sitting across from over me everything seems to go infinitley slowly. As she turns around and stumbles for a second from the velocity of speed she had spun in the twisty chair to turn around, her eyes connect to mine and her face drops as quick as the Kingda ka roller coaster. Her whole face shows the emotions of grief, confusion, disbelief but most prevalent of all... Anger.

I knew this would be risky. Waiting to see if it was her all this time without actually having a plan of action. To make myself known to be in the same area as her even after all these years. So many questions flow through my brain of "does she know of the achievements I finally accomplished?" "does she want anything to do with me?" and most of all "has she thought of me as I have thought of her?"

I am not going to lie and say that she never scared me. Even back then at 16 years old, as sweet as she was, she was still a feisty little thing. I always admired her for that. Her attitude of never degrading herself and always standing up for what she believed in. It was truly inspiring. Until I ruined it all.

Her face, as she stares deeply into my eyes, morphs from that ushered anger to an eerie calm. She stands and draws closer while maintaining eye contact. I try not to shrink back into myself and the seat, and hiding behind my beer at the confusion of where this conversation could lead. My mind runs with scenarios but not the one I come to face as she approaches.

She sits down in the seat directly next to me, while also dragging it even closer to my body so that she is almost pressed up against my chest. She stares me down so intensely I get lost in her eyes for a moment before she breaks me out of my trance.

"Hello, Alex"

THIS CHAPTER IS SHORTER BECAUSE THE NEXT CHAP IS FROM JULIETS POV AND WILL HAVE A LOT MORE DETAIL!

mostly short chapter because of school and lack of energy.

Although this chapter is short it will be the last Alex POV for a while just to focus on the main view from Juliet, but I wanted you to see how much effort Alex actually puts into trying to find her. So just keep that in mind.
