I walked home like any other day and waited an abnormally long time at the street corner, just waiting for her to come. After about 5 minuets, Lucy emerged from her house, and while she turned to lock her door I walked back to my house which is right across the street from hers.
Lucy Johnson was a tall blond with a slight tan, she always wore the expensive clothing, and in style and all that stuff, her parents were very rich so she got whatever she wanted, but she was still a nice girl. She was in the same grade as me and we had been going to the same school for 13 years, and there was only a few occasions when I can think of when we exchanged word of any nature. As for me, well my names not important, just know I live across the street form Lucy and I love her.
I’ve always been to shy to actually talk to her thou, so I admire her from afar. That night I was looking out my window and saw the light come on in Lucy’s room. The shades were closed but I saw her shadow, she was simply walking around her room in her pajamas, but still she was very beautiful, and I decided I had to try and find a way to tell her how I felt.
So then I had an idea, I claimed up the big oak tree (I’m not actually sure if it was an oak tree, but I just assume that’s what all trees are) in Lucy’s front yard. This was quite difficult considering I was also carrying my guitar up with me. I had written a love song for her called, Lucy My One and Only, once I had gotten to the top and was outside her window I began to sing and play.
Oh Lucy
My one and only
I love you more then
The sun in the sky
And more then
Anyone else will every love you
My singing actually wasn’t that bad, my guitar was a little lacking, but I think I got my message across, except that Lucy never opened her window to see me, after about half an hour I just got down, almost falling once, and went home.
That night I was looking out my window, when the light came on in Lucy’s room her shades were still closed, but I could still see her shadow walking around, this gave me new found inspiration.
So the next day I got back up in the tree with my guitar and sang, but again she didn’t come out. This went on for about a week, until one day Lucy actually opened her window while I was singing, and I nearly fell out of the tree, she looked right at me with her big, glassy, blue eyes they were so blue they sky looked pale in comparison, but I could also see that there was shock in her eyes and she closed her window almost instantly. I stopped and just sat there for a minute, regained myself, and got down form the tree.
That night on light came on in Lucy’s room and I was so depressed. The next day I got a knock at the door, I opened it to find a police officer standing there, I asked if I could help him. He said he had gotten a call from a neighbor that I had been stalking a girl who lived near by. I told him I had no clue what he was talking about. He said that it was okay and that he just wanted to bring me down to the station and ask me a few questions. I refused, bid him good day and shut they door, but the officer stopped it with his hand. I told him to let go of my door.
I tried to punch him, bad move, he stopped it and was easily able to overpower me he laid me on the floor and told me I was under arrest for assaulting a cop. I then started to scream that I was innocent, and he would be hearing from my lawyer, problem being I didn’t have one. He then led me out of my house.
There were a lot of people out on my front lawn now all just staring at me, making a path for the cop. I looked around at all of them, how could this have happened I didn’t want it to end up like this. I hung my head low as I was led through the crowed of people mumbling to each other. I raised my head for a brief second and saw Lucy standing at the back of the crowd, she was just as tall and blond and beautiful.
Then it hit me maybe Lucy had turned me in, of course she did, when she saw me outside her window she must have called the cops on me. I wasn’t angry at her, I could never be but I was sad. I raised my head again and looked right at Lucy, expecting her to be smirking that her stalker was being taken away, but she wasn’t smirking, or smiling for that matter, she was frowning. Then me and her made eye contact again, just like yesterday outside her window, but instead of shock in her eyes I saw something else, pity, regret, no not that but something.
Then she did the last thing I expected, she smiled and waved to me. I was shocked, petrified and so happy. So as smooth as possible I turned just enough for the cop not to protest but still just enough to wave my own hand. She laughed, she actually laughed, I smiled. The cop told me to get in the car I obeyed now, and as the car pulled away I looked back a saw Lucy still waving but doing it nonchalantly, and still smiling. I began singing a little edited version of the Smashing Pumpkins to myself and smiling.
Lucy my one and only
As they’re dragging me away
I swear I saw you raise your hand and wave
Goodbye[spoil]
