Such A Sad Love, Deep In Your Eyes Ch 1

Chapter 1: There’s Such a Fooled Heart

New York City

A enchanting tune played throughout an apartment, its source being a music box that had a figure on it. The figure was a woman in a beautiful white ball gown spinning around to the music.

The, currently, only occupant of the apartment hummed the tune from where she was in the kitchen, preparing grilled cheese sandwiches. The occupant was a female; she had shoulder length brown hair that framed her face. She was wearing a pair of jeans and baggy purple graphic tee, her feet were bare as she was not planning on leaving her apartment at the moment. She was waiting for her brother to come visit after soccer practice.

“I take it something’s wrong,” She called out, her brown eyes flickering towards the main door.

“Fucking coaches-” The boy groaned. He was a tall fifteen-year-old, with blonde hair and hazel eyes. He wore a green soccer jersey, black shorts and black sneakers.

“Oi! Language, Kyle!” The girl snapped as she placed the grilled cheese on a plate.

“Fine!” Kyle sighed as he sat down at the kitchen table, “The stupid coaches decided to sign the team up for a tournament that takes place during the school break. I wanted to use that time to spend it with you, Kat.”

“Is that so?” Kat muttered before setting the plate on the table before siting across from her brother.

The two sat in silence for a bit as they ate their grilled cheese. As they ate, Kat thought about something. By the time they finished, the brunette had come up with something.

“Hey, Kyle?”

“Yeah?”

“How long is you break?”

“’Bout a month.”

“’Kay. How’s this sound, I’ll talk to your coaches and get them to let me take you to the tournament matches, and in between, we’ll go on a road trip of sorts.”

“… Really?” Kyle perked up, happy with the idea.

“Sure, kiddo, I’ll go call your coaches and then Uncle Tobi while you go get a map and pick out where you wanna go.” Kat said as she stands up. She walks over to the phone while the teenager goes and looks for a map in the apartment.

Storybrooke, Maine

Jefferson looked outside of his mansion with his spyglass. The clock in Town Square had begun ticking again recently. Ever since then, ever since Emma Swan, the town’s new sheriff, had entered he had recalled even more of his life before Storybrooke.

 He remembered the time he spent with Grace, who he had left, and his wife, who he had lost. He remembered how he met his wife and how he lost her. Even now, it hurt to remember her.

“My Alice…” He muttered as he watched ‘Paige’ playing in the school’s courtyard, “you would have loved to see how Grace has grown.”
