Chapter Ten: Unstable
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
For
the first time in the month she’d been back, Allyn was in a fantastic
mood. Shuyin coming to her last night had been a fantastic surprise and
one she knew just had to happen again. A love like they shared didn’t just
disappear.
She
still remembered the first day she had met him.
When
she turned 15 - in a move that finally gained her father’s often waning
attention - Allyn emptied her bank account which, admittedly, wasn’t much and
moved to Zanarkand to start a new life.
That
was when she met Shuyin. He was just getting out of blitzball practice
and was still damp from the sphere pool. She was rushing off of the hover
and struggling with her bags. The two of them had collided and she’d
landed on her butt with her bags scattered. Shuyin had been so
apologetic. He’d run all over the place gathering her bags and the pieces
of clothing that had flown from the open ones. Once all of her belongings
were gathered, he’d helped her to her feet and their eyes met.
Allyn
knew her life would never be the same.
Their
relationship had been slow to start. A few dinner dates; a few
movies. The first time Shuyin had kissed her – in a move she knew had to
be his first – their teeth had knocked and Shuyin had blushed crimson.
Allyn remembered the moment fondly when she decided to take it upon herself to
teach him and the two had spent almost an hour kissing and, when they finally
broke apart, Shuyin was breathless and grinning.
He
had never looked more handsome.
When
it came to sex, Allyn knew that Shuyin was a virgin although they’d never
discussed it. She wasn’t sure if he knew about her sexual past, but she
was sure he’d realized it after the kissing lesson. She was very
knowledgeable about those things. During their subsequent dates the
kissing seemed to be leading somewhere that Shuyin was more than interested in
going.
The
night they first made love the kissing had become overpowering and when they
pulled apart for air Shuyin had stared into her eyes, as if in a trance. His
eyes were asking her for permission and Allyn knew just what he wanted.
She wanted it too. As she nodded her agreement, she felt his hands slowly
traveling down her sides to lift her shirt off.
His
exploration of her body was sweet and sensual. He took ever dip and curve
with hands and mouth as if trying to memorize every tiny detail of her.
Clothes were stripped and strewn about the room. She watched him rise
above her and their eyes locked. Shuyin smiled at her and Allyn smiled
back, kissing his lips tenderly. Shuyin tried to join them together, but
stopped and seemed a little confused. Gently taking him in her hand,
Allyn guided him in the movement and once they were joined all conscious
thought stopped as her breath caught with the pleasure of it.
It
was afterward that Shuyin held her close and said the words that Allyn had been
wishing he’d say…
“I love you.”
Although
he hadn’t said those words after their love making last night, Allyn knew it
was only a matter of time until he said them again. Every day without him
felt like an eternity and she knew that he had to feel the same way. He
just had to. That was why he’d run to her after breaking up with the
little bitch. The smell of alcohol on his breath had nothing to do with
it. She had taught Shuyin how to hold his alcohol and she knew that it
only gave him the encouragement to do what he wanted to do in the first place.
At
least…she hoped so…
No
matter how convinced she was that he’d be hers within a fortnight, there was
still that nagging doubt that made her wonder. She hated that inner voice
of hers. She wished she could permanently silence it the way she’d
permanently silenced Georg….
Grabbing
her keys, she took the stairs to the apartment lobby two at a time and burst
into the daylight. She knew that his blitzball practice would be almost
over and she could surprise him outside and maybe convince him to come over to
her house for…dessert.
As
soon as she rounded the corner she saw him and his two blitzball friends –
Skirpa and Bruttam – exiting the stadium and talking in hushed whispers about
something. She felt a bounce form in her step as she saw him and jogged
quickly and silently toward him. She approached behind him and whispered
seductively, “Hello there, handsome.”
He
turned to her and she expected a broad smile of happiness, or a kiss, or a
hug…anything. Instead he just stared at her with an unreadable expression
on his handsome face. After a few seconds, Shuyin said, “Have you taken
to stalking now, Allyn?”
Her
surprise at his rather callous reply was quickly shaken as she forced herself
to remain happy and carefree, “Whatever do you mean, love?”
“I told you not to read too much into it, Allyn.” Shuyin hissed, “It will never
happen again.”
Allyn
put a hand on her hip, “Of course it will. You’re single…I’m single…”
Shuyin
shook his head and replied, “Correction…you’re single. I’m not.”
The
half smirk that seemed always present on Allyn’s pretty features suddenly
vanished. Her hands dropped to her sides and her green eyes seemed to
search Shuyin’s as if trying to figure out if this was all some sort of a cruel
joke. Allyn noted Skirpa and Bruttam’s tiny grins as if the entire
situation was completely humorous and she realized that Shuyin wasn’t
lying. He had gone back to that stupid bitch! Her shoulders started
shaking first from her fury as she raged, “She actually forgave you?! Or
did you forget to mention what happened between us last night?!”
“I told her.” Shuyin replied, “I didn’t think she’d forgive me, but she
did. I’m eternally grateful.”
Allyn
glared at him as she felt her dreams shattering and exploding all around
her. Balling up her fists at her side, she hissed, “So that little bitch
is going to keep you from being with the woman you love?”
“Firstly, Allyn, stop calling Lenne a bitch. She’s anything but that.”
Shuyin replied, calmly and with a bit of a smirk, “Secondly, even though you
adamantly refuse to admit it, I [i]am[/i] with the woman that I love.”
“I know that! You’re standing with me
now!” Allyn cried, “What I mean is…”
Shuyin
put a hand on her lips to silence her as he said, “I don’t love you,
Allyn. I love Lenne.”
Allyn
didn’t move. She didn’t speak. She wasn’t even sure if she was
breathing. She just stared at him as he said something else.
Something she didn’t listen to. She didn’t take a step as he and his
friends turned and walked away. She watched as he climbed into his
convertible and drove in the direction of that girl’s house. Suddenly
letting her anger get control of her, Allyn took off in a run after
Shuyin. She wasn’t going to let that little bitch win. Allyn would
get her man, no matter what she had to do.
It
was almost 3pm when she got
there after the 45 minute run to Lenne’s house. She looked around and saw
Shuyin’s car parked in the street halfway between Lenne’s house and his own
which was situated three blocks up the street on the other side. In the
distance she heard laughter and splashing coming from the ocean behind the
docks and she headed toward the sound. She frowned as she saw who it was
and immediately tucked behind a lamppost.
Shuyin…and
her.
Swimming,
laughing, and kissing – the two of them looked completely in love and Allyn had
to fight her urge to drown the prissy little bitch. She’d told her father
it would only take a month or two to get Shuyin back, but she still was nowhere
closer to having Shuyin in her arms as she’d been when she first came back to
A-East.
If
only she hadn’t left…
The
things that led up to her leaving seemed inconsequential and stupid in
retrospect, but back then they had seemed like everything. The problem
with her and Shuyin was that both were pathological flirts. They couldn’t
pass a member of the opposite sex without flirting. Allyn’s flirting was
more overt – like rubbing the thigh of a handsome guy next to her. She’d
done that to Zaon and Skirpa…even Bruttam to some degree, but the thought of
doing anything more with them had made her sick.
She
loved Shuyin.
The
beginning of the end began with the deaths of Shuyin’s parents. Around
the same time the Abes had briefly signed Georg for a few games to fill in for
Skirpa who had broken his collar bone during a game. When Shuyin’s
parents had died, he’d started getting distant with her. She knew he was
mourning, but it still hurt that he didn’t want to be around her. During
that time, Georg had started to develop a friendship with her and it was he
that she ran to whenever Shuyin turned his back.
After
six months of Shuyin being distant, Georg had hinted to her that he thought
Shuyin was seeing someone else. There was no proof. There was no
reason for Allyn to believe it….but believe it she did. She had always
thought in the back of her mind that she couldn’t keep Shuyin happy for
long. He was better than her in a million ways and it didn’t surprise her
that he’d find solace in someone else’s arms.
She
left with Georg the next day.
She
didn’t try to talk to Shuyin. She didn’t listen to his side. She didn’t
even tell him the reason she was leaving, just that she was and Georg was going
with her. Georg had been signed to the Urks in D-West and the two moved
into a small apartment. Everything was fine unless Georg was drunk.
The first night he got drunk, he beat her until she was unconscious. She
tried to call Shuyin the next morning for help, but Georg had severed all the
phone lines and hidden her cell phone. He locked her in the apartment
when he wasn’t there and did unspeakable things to her when he was. Her
only contact with the outside world was the television and it was six months
after leaving, during the news, that she found out Shuyin wasn’t seeing
someone else. Although he usually tried to avoid interviews, the news
crew had caught him and asked him a few questions about himself. When
asked if there was ‘someone special’ Shuyin had said, “There use to be, but not
anymore.”
She’d
been lied to…
She’d
been duped…
Allyn’s
desperation to get back to Shuyin overtook her life. Multiple plans to
escape had failed. Georg was as intelligent as he was proficient in
blitzball. Allyn knew drastic moves needed to be taken if she was ever
going to get back to Shuyin.
In
the end, Allyn had killed him. The courts had decreed she was guilty by
reason of insanity. She was unstable according to court
psychiatrists. Locked in a psych ward in D-West, Allyn spent 2 ½ years of
her life there, wondering what Shuyin was doing and being thankful every day
that D-West business stayed in D-West. She was so grateful that Shuyin
would never know about this.
After
2 ½ years, parole became a possibility and she forced herself to answer the
psychological exam questions the way the doctors wanted her to. She
needed to make them think she was truly sorry for what she’d done and that she
was sane enough never to do it again. She didn’t feel guilty, though.
She’d
done it for Shuyin.
Allyn
turned a little behind the pole where she was sitting and looked at
Lenne. The brunette was swimming happily away from Shuyin who was
playfully trying to catch her.
When
Shuyin caught Lenne, Allyn’s ears perked up to hear what they were saying to
each other. Her Shuyin put his arms around that girl, “We should
probably dry off and get going. I’ve got the picnic basket just inside my
house. All we need to do is throw some food into it.”
“How long do you think it’ll take to Macalania?” Lenne asked.
Shuyin
replied to Lenne, “Well, about 2 hours by car and 1 ½ hours by hover.” The
brunette nodded and Shuyin said, “I was thinking we should drive so we can
leave whenever we want to.”
Allyn
felt sure that steam was coming out of her ears. Her Shuyin was
going to take that bimbo on a romantic picnic in Macalania! Growling
quietly, Allyn crawled from her hiding place and behind a nearby bush where she
waited until she was sure they hadn’t seen her. Tears stung her eyes as
she tried to fight them off. She wasn’t going to lose Shuyin to that
bitch. If she was going to lose Shuyin, it was going to be to someone who
deserved him.
As
she cast another glance at the brunette with Shuyin, Allyn felt her hatred
toward the songstress grow. There was no way she was going to let that
little bitch take what was rightfully hers.
Something had to be done…
Author’s Notes: This is another Lenne/Shuyin
date chapter. They get a little...uh… ‘closer’ in this chapter so for
anybody that is offended by romance novel-like descriptions, you have been
warned. I don’t suggest skipping the chapter because something important happens
in the last section that will help explain actions later on.
This
chapter’s title is actually a song. I found my old soundtrack to
‘Footloose’ with Kevin Bacon and was listening to it while I was writing this
chapter and on it is the song “Somebody’s Eyes”. It seemed like the
perfect title since a few lines are:
Somebody’s eyes are watching.
Somebody’s eyes are seeing me loving him.
Somebody’s waiting to take him back again.
Love is no disguise, from somebody’s eyes.
As
I’m sure you now realize, this chapter will involve a little Allyn toward the
end. Hopefully it is well done as this is going to lead into the truly
angsty and dramatic stuff.
