I Don't Want
to See You Go
By Alyson
Chapter 1
*This Story Takes Place while Luis and Sheridan are still in college*
Sheridan stared out of the window of the Crane jet. Her arms were
crossed
and she was fuming. She was racked with all different emotions--anger,
guilt, regret. Julian walked into the room with a smug look on his
face and
went over to Sheridan.
"All ready, sister dear?" he asked, taking a sip of brandy. She stood
up and
glared into his eyes coldly.
"You let me off this plane right now Julian. You can't just force me
to move
to Paris against my will!" she yelled.
"You're right; I can't. But Father can. You know you brought this all
upon
yourself Sheridan. If you had just listened to us�"
"I wouldn't listen to two cruel, twisted people like you and Father.
And
plus, I didn't do anything wrong!"
"Oh please, of course you did! Your little fling with a guy from the
other
side of the tracks ring a bell?"
"Don't talk about him that way Julian! It's not a fling, Luis loves
me, and
I love him!"
"Love..." Julian sneered. "Yes, I'm sure that Lopez-Fitzgerald really
loves
you. It's more like you money he loves�"
"That is not true! Luis loves me for me, and not for how much I have
in my
checkbook!"
"Yes, I know Sheridan, of course he loves you," Julian said
sarcastically.
"Is that why he's not speaking to you?" A look of sadness washed over
Sheridan's face.
"We had a little fight, big deal! People who love each other have
fights.
That doesn't mean he loves me any less. Not like you would know
anything
about love!" Sheridan said, yelling her last words.
"Oh Sheridan, you're getting yourself all worked up over nothing."
"Nothing? Is that what you call forcing me to move to Paris? That
isn't
nothing, its kidnapping!"
"Oh stop being so melodramatic. You're going so you might as well
enjoy it!"
Julian said, storming off to find more liquor.
Sheridan sighed and
slumped
back into her chair. She wanted to cry but then Julian would know he
had one
this round. She reached under her seat and pulled out her laptop. She
clicked on the mail icon and took a big breath before writing.
Dear Luis,
By the time you read this I will be living in Paris. I couldn't stand
it any
longer and I told our family about us. My Father is sending me to
Paris for
good.
I am so sorry that the last time we spoke to each other it was a
fight. I wish I could take back all the things that were said, because
I
can't stand the way we left things off.
I love you more than anything
and I
don't know how I will be able to live without you. All I need you to
know is
that I do love you and I hope that one day you can forgive me.
With all my heart,
Sheridan
She had tears running down her cheeks as she typed these words. She
knew her
Father would never allow her to see Luis again.
'At least they are
doing
something to me and not Luis. I wouldn't be able to live with myself
if he
was hurt because of me. I know what my family is capable of, and I
pray this
is all they are going to do�' she thought grimly.
She clicked send
then
buried her face in her hands crying.
