Alli awoke to the alarm clock blaring loudly. She groaned slapping at the small machine blindly,"Stupid thing", she grumbled as she pressed snooze,"Time to wake up babe", she rolled over and reached for Keith. Her hands were met with cold sheets and empty air. She sat up turning on the lamp,"Keith?", she called looking around the room. Something felt off, it was wrong. There was no running water in the bathroom, the only sound was the soft hum of the ceiling fan. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the pillows noticing the small sheet of paper, her fingers touched it tentatively, fearing what may be written there. She swallowed thickly as she unfolded the letter:
"Alli-Cat, I'm sorry to leave like this, but it was what I felt was best. We have been fighting for so long and pretending that things are fine, but we both know they're not. Saying goodbye to you was going to be too hard. Just watching you sleep broke my heart because I knew what I would be leaving and what I would be doing to you. Please know that I love you with my entire being and I never meant to hurt you. But I think you are right, I'm not over Emily, I still have a lot to figure out when it comes too not only you and I, but for myself. I won't ask you to wait for me, I can only hope you will.
All my love, Keith
She balled up the letter in her fist as tears pooled in her eyes. She shook her head sinking back into the pillows, pulling the comforter around her. How could he do this? Leave without saying goodbye and expect a letter to make it okay? She let out a choking sob as her body curled into itself. There was a physical pain that spread through her body, taking the air from her lungs and only allowing the warmth from her tears to pool into the soft material. She lay in the bed as the ribbons of dawn slowly began to spread through the room. The sun was rising on the day, how could there still be sun? How could anything be beautiful when she felt so ugly and unwanted? She turned away from the light burrowing down into the blankets and allowed herself to simply sink down into depths of an unknown despair. When her eyes were sore and swollen she closed them willing sleep to over take her and for this to be a nightmare.
***************************************************
"A note?!", Emmet exclaimed,"You left her a note on the pillow?"
"What was I supposed to do?", Keith shrugged blowing on the hot cup of tea the stewardess had brought him.
"Maybe be a man and wait until she was awake," he answered looking out the small window of the plane.
"Thanks, Emmet", he sipped at the tea. He couldn't stand that his friend was right. Perhaps he should have done more and waited, talked to her. But then there would have been the tears and he knew there would be some on his part too. There would have been yelling, mainly on Alli's part because she was passionate and knew how to handle him. He didn't like knowing he was causing her pain, but it had been his way of dealing with it. They needed a break and that break had to be clean. He couldn't shake the pain that throbbed in his chest and the vivid image of Alli that stared back at him on his phone screen. He sighed turning the phone off.
"You're an idiot you know that right? How long do you think she's going to wait? Or better yet, how long do you think it will take before some man plants himself in her sights?"
"I don't know and I'm not expecting anything. If it happens for us it happens, if not, then I will be happy for whatever choice is."
"You eejit", he crossed his arms,"This is your screw up boy'o and you'll be reaping what you sowed before you know it."
Keith rubbed his eyes,"I'm going to see what Ryan's up too."
"Yeah, just walk away from it. You know very well how to do that."
"Shut it, Cahill", he quipped angrily.

Alli went through the motions of exisiting for the next several days. She would wake up and dread the day. Her heart heavy and aching. She forced herself out of the bed and into a shower, she worked on her designs and communicated with the design house when necessary. She focused her energy into the work that needed to be done. Keith had not called her, text her, emailed. There was nothing from him, she attempted to understand, but came up empty. There were moments where she picked up her phone and looked at his number, but would lose courage and toss the phone to the side. He didn't want her, he didn't want to be with her and there was nothing she could do to change that. When a week had passed with nothing from him she decided that it was time to begin cleaning out memories of him. She took a box around the apartment removing pictures, small momentos, gifts he had given her. She stopped as she heard a knock at the door, placing the box on the couch, she brushed her hair away from her face. She looked through the peep hole and saw a young man standing there nervously rocking on his heels,"Can I help you?", she opened the door.
"Allison Culhane?", he asked with a nervous smile.
"That's me", she eyed him carefully.
"I....I'm Liam, from the design house. Maureen sent me."
"My assistant", she said as the realization struck her,"I'm sorry, come in."
"Thanks", he said stepping inside and keeping a firm grip on his postman style bag,"Sorry it's taken a while, we have been slammed."
"It's fine", she waved him off,"I have been dealing with some things recently, so it has given me time."
"I see", he noted the boxes and discarded pieces of fabric,"What would you like for me to do?"
"That's a good question", she laughed pulling her sweater tighter around her.
Liam smiled easily at the confusion in the sea green eyes,"I can start by straightening up if you'd like? I mean if you'll show me the room where you work."
"Right this way", she led him to the spare room,"I have finished things boxed up, but as you can see I have pieces of fabric and everything every where."
"Let's do this", he turned to her,"You look like you could use some strong coffee, so why don't you go and get yourself together, make some coffee and I will start in here."
"Are you sure? I mean you just walked in and I feel bad leaving you with this mess."
"I'm fine", he nodded,"I am sort of ocd with things."
"Okay then", she laughed,"have at it", she turned leaving the room. She was leaving a man alone in the room where she worked. But he had been sent by the team and she trusted the team. She sent Maureen a quick text message letting her know that Liam had made it to her place and then set about making a pot of coffee and making herself more presentable.

"Wow!", Alli said walking into the spare room,"What elf helped you with this?"
Liam turned with a laugh,"I told you I was slightly ocd about things," he combed his fingers through thick honey colored hair.
"Liam, this is amazing!", she surveyed the organized room, boxes were labeled, fabrics folded and stored carefully, her sewing table was clear accept for the sewing machine,"Thank you!"
"You're welcome, Allison", he flashed her a smile.
"Alli, just Alli is fine."
"Okay, just Alli," his chocolate colored eyes smiled with a teasing glint,"What else shall we move on to?"
Alli turned away quickly,"Well, um....... we can take the finished product back to Maureen and then I need some fabric, and I would enjoy some company and a second opinion."
"Then I'm your guy", he said picking his bag up.
Alli told him which boxes needed to go and what she was still working on. They organized everything to make a single trip down stairs,"Ready?"
"After you", he held the door open.
"Thanks!", she took her boxes and made her way down the stairs. They put everything into the trunk of his car and headed towards the design house. They dropped everything off and she collected a check for the merchandise,"So, for all your help today, can I buy you dinner?"
"Well typically I wouldn't let a woman pay for me," he said stopping at a red light.
"Well, this isn't a typical situation", she replied tucking her hair behind her ear,"You are my assistant."
"Suppose you're right", he shrugged,"You tell me where to go."
"China town!"
"That was quick", he laughed," but you read my mind."

Had they been in Australia three weeks already? The time had passed in a blur for Keith. He sat on the beach, the expanse of the ocean roaring and crashing angrily in the storm that was brewing. HIs eyes scanned the horizon, watching the waves building.
"You're not thinking about going out there are you?", Emmet asked sitting next to him.
"Cause you would be an idiot", Neil said taking up a place on his opposite side.
"We're all entitled to idiocy from time to time", he ran a hand over the surfboard that lay at his feet. Catching the waves was the furthest thing from his mind at the moment. Alli had all but paralyzed his mind over the last month. She hadn't called or texted or sent anything. It had been silence; it was nothing but silence and it was his fault.
"Nothing from her then mate?", Neil asked.
"Why would there be?", he sighed,"I left her a note on the pillow. What did I really expect?"
"That she would be the same ol' Alli and just pick you back up", he answered digging his feet into the sand.
"That's not what I thought"
"It's not?", Emmet eyed him,"Wake up Harkin! She has been picking you up form one mess or another since she started on the tour with us. Whether it was a nasty hang over or some misunderstanding with someone. She has been there every time, and when you lost your ex."
"Don't Emmet!", he said angrily,"Don't bring Emily into this, none of you know anything about her."
"Because you dumped it all on Alli", Neil said patting his friend on the shoulder.
"The break was her idea ya know?", he looked between his two friends,"Just like Emily did, Alli suggested it. And I couldn't stand to say goodbye to another woman that I love so I just left," he raked his fingers through his hair, lacing them behind his neck,"I left without saying goodbye, because I was scared."
"Alli loves you Keith, for what ever God unknown reason, she does,"Neil looked at him," and frankly you are miserable without her and we all hate seeing you like this."
"She won't talk to me", he shook his head,"I doubt she'll want anything to do with me."
"Don't know until you try", Emmet pulled out his cell phone from his pocket,"Send her a text?"
"I'll wait until we're done. That way I can fly back to California."
"Good on you mate!", Neil stood up,"Now can we get off the beach before the lightning kills one of us?"
