Just

Another Love Story (Final Draft)

(Carries POV)
Every love story is beautiful but ours is my favorite. I will always remember
the day I met Dylan Albany. When I was younger, my father died in a fatal car crash.
Growing up I knew that I always had my father with me through music. However,
my mother never approved of the musical bond that I wanted to have with my
father, because she never wanted the thought of him in her house. Instead, she
wanted me to follow her dream by becoming a part of her company because she
thought that it was the right path towards success in my future. I never
acknowledged anything she told me because I knew that my passion for music
would never change. Ever since she found out that I would sneak out to play the
guitar with my friends, we would start an argument because she didnt trust me
enough to let me stay after school. My mother was a very cocky person that wanted
to control everything around her including me. However, there was a moment in my
life that changed everything.

It was April 10, 1954, my mothers annual company celebration. Every year,
she reserves one of the most exclusive restaurants in town to celebrate one more
year since the establishment of her company. Honestly, I hate attending these
glitterati events. Im forced to keep a smile and greet so many different people that I
dont even know. I get really bored just sitting around and pretending to be a part of
their conversations. To entertain myself a bit, I always excuse myself from the table
and I say that I have to go to the restroom but in reality I just walk though the
hallways and see what there is around. However, this time it was very different. As I
was roaming through the restaurant, I heard a beautiful melody coming from the
left. I followed the melody, letting the captivating sound of music take over my body.
When I opened to a minute room, I saw a handsome young man playing an admiring
melody on an old dusty piano. He looked like one of the waiters from the restaurant.
I wondered what his name was so I looked at his nametag, which read Dylan
Albany. I looked up at his face and I realized that he was so deep into his song that
he obviously didnt notice that I was there. I closed my eyes and I got so lost into his
music that I was startled when he stopped. The moment I opened my eyes, I saw
him starring right at me and I didnt know what to say so I said the first thing that
came to my mind at the moment. Uhmmwhat are you doing here? I asked.
UhhIm sorry miss rushing out before I could say anything else. I wanted to run
after him but then I realized that I had to go back to my mother or else she was
probably going to be looking for me. I slowly walked towards the table, forgetting
about the restroom. All I had in mind was that beautiful creature, Dylan.

After the fight with my mom, I thought long and hard about how to ruin my
perfect reputation. The only part that I would have trouble with would be whom
can I get to fall for her...maybe Dylan? Yes! Hed be perfect for this. Now, the real
question here was how could I get him to fall for me when I had been so rude to him.
For now, Ill just go day by day and see how it goes. Hopefully, Dylan doesnt find out
about my plan because itll kill him. Hes the perfect guy because I know that Ill
never fall for him.

* A couple of weeks later*

I found a way to see Dylan every day. I would sneak down to the restaurant
where I first met Dylan. During his breaks, we would both sneak down to the piano
and he would teach me how to play. Together they started a song;


Well let me tell you a story

About a girl and a boy

She fell in love with her bus boy

When hes around she feels nothing but joy


Without even knowing, I was slowly falling for Dylan. After about a month of
talking to each other, Dylan finally got the courage to ask me out and I happily said
yes. About a week or two later, we went public about our relationship which caused
her mother to be extremely upset. She was so upset that she told me things that I
never heard before which pleased me because it meant that my mother was
ashamed.


*2 months later*


I have to tell him about the plan I thought to myself. Hopefully hell forgive
me because I really love him and I dont want to lose him. I just have to tell him
everything because he deserves to know the truth, I cant put him through this. I
waited anxiously until the next day during his break when we were in the piano
room. Dylan I have to tell you something I said nervously. What is it babe? he
asked. I was too nervous to speak. I didnt know how to say it but I just let it all come
out. I told him everything from beginning to end. From how my dad died trying to
pursue his music career to the fight that I had with my mother 3 months ago and to
the plan that I had of disappointing my mother. How could you do this Carrie??
Dylan said with tears threatening to spill. All I was was just a plan to get back at
your mom. Carrie was too embarrassed and sad to reply. And I loved you Carrie!!! I
have you everything! And all I was, was a dumb plan?? with that being said, Dylan
stormed out of the piano room leaving Carrie broken and regretful.

(Narrator POV)
As the weeks passed by, Carrie spent days in her room brainstorming ideas
of how to get Dylan back. Finally, after long and hard thought, she decided that she
was going to finish the song that they had nearly started. For the next week, Carrie
skipped classes in order to work on their song. Finally, the next week she had
completed the song. She decided that at 12:00am that night, she would sneak over
to Dylans house and serenate him with the words of love flowing from her heart.

11:30pm: Its time Carrie thought to herself. She sneaked out through her
bedroom window with her guitar strapped around her back and she ran to Dylans
house like there was no tomorrow.

11:55pm: Carrie thought to herself Yes! Im ahead of schedule. She

grabbed the tiny rock that was nearby. She was careful enough to not break the
window but loud enough for him to hear. Carrie what are you doing here? asked
Dylan with anger filled words. Sshh just listen she whispered. And she took out her
guitar and she began singing:

Let me tell you a story
About a girl and a boy
She fell in love with her bus boy
When hes around, she feels nothing but joy

But he was stuck in poverty
And she was full of wealth
And they could never believe
That they were ever meant to be

I know my mom disapproves,
But this is our romance.
Youre the smile on my face
And no one can change that.

Well I can tell youre afraid of
What might occur
But I never meant to hurt
It was just all a terrible mistake

You can make me happy
You can make me laugh
And I just wanted to apologize
For everything Ive done.

Whats gonna make you forgive me
I know youve got your wall
Wrapped all the way around your heart.
Dont have to be scared, oh my love.

But you cant love unless you let go
You cant love unless you let go of the past.


Dylan closed his window and Carrie was stupefied. Moments later, Dylan ran
outside his door and kissed Carrie passionately. Ive missed you, Carrie Anderson,
he said. And I love you, Dylan Albany Carrie responded.
