Disclaimer: Alias, the characters, any thing related belongs to JJ Abrams, although I do wish did own it just like everyone else. Hehe.
Summary: This takes place after the Frame. Vaughn tries to deal while staying with Lauren, but is his heart in it. Sydney thinks about a few things. Eventually S/V in later chapters.
Chapter 1:
It is said life is not always easy or fair; you have to take what you get and continue on. There are obstacles that everyone must overcome because life is full of little surprises. You never know what to expect, which was true for Michael Vaughn.
It had been seven months since Sydney Anne Bristow had turned up in Hong Kong; not remembering what happened over a two-year absence from the life she knew before. The last thing she had remembered was discovering her best friend, Francie, was really the other double from Project Helix, Allison Doren. They fought each other and passed out, not knowing what was to come next. Waking up to a site unfamiliar to herself, realizing life had moved on without her. Her boyfriend was married, father in confinement, and Arvin Sloane pardoned for his previous crimes.
Michael Vaughn thought he had put the past behind him. Leading a perfect normal life he had craved until she showed up; things turned upside down then. He could not stand the thought of being away from her any longer. He was reinstated into the Central Intelligence Agency, to keep an eye on her. Also to make himself believe that it was not just a dream, but reality. He had always blamed himself for the night she disappeared, not ‘supposedly died in a fire.’ Once she came back, he was torn between being loyal to his wife and running into the arms of his sole mate. He thought he had made a choice that would ultimately lead to the happiness, but the plans were shattered. Senator Reed died all of a sudden from suicide. Michael had no other option, other than to stay in a loveless marriage while his wife grieved. He thought he was being considerate because he had done the same for a previous girlfriend, Alice Williams, after her father died. He was a person who always worried about others before himself. Although every choice made has its consequences.
It had been two weeks since the whole ordeal. Vaughn sat stood his desk in the rotunda buried in reports and debriefs. Although Vaughn’s thoughts was elsewhere; he thinking about Sydney as usual. His heart could not skip a beat without having her on his mind.
“Vaughn? Hello? Anybody in there?,” Weiss asked as he waved a hand in front of his face. He was so distracted he didn’t even realize that Weiss had been calling his name.
“What?…Oh hey man…uh…what’s up?” Vaughn replied as he came back to his senses. To Weiss, Vaughn looked like he was preoccupied with something else, like Sydney.
“Well I came over here to see if you were available to grab a quick bit to eat before the meeting at two….or do you have plans with that wife of yours?” Weiss asked in sort of an annoyed tone that did not go unnoticed by Vaughn.
“NO…Lauren is in West Virginia with her mother for the week,” Vaughn stated angrily. “Their going through Senator Reed’s belongs.”
“Oh sorry man, I didn’t know,” Weiss said cautiously, treading on thin ice. Weiss had seen Vaughn at his worst, but this was unbelievable. The man was not himself. He looked like he did when he had been told Sydney was ‘dead.’ Those months were hell for him. Weiss knew Vaughn wasn’t sleeping considering the big bags under his eyes. Sydney had told Weiss about how they had planned to reconcile and take things slow between them, before everything came crashing down. He knew Vaughn and Sydney belonged together, but his best friend was a sucker for ladies in distress; thus the problem now. Somehow he had to get them together. No one deserved to be miserable, especially friends of Eric Weiss’s. Although there were flaws in his plan that he could not speak of.
“No Weiss, I’m sorry, its just things aren’t working out as I imagined they would. Well lets go get something quick, alright?” Vaughn replied as he got up from his chair. His body shook a little and he proceeded to stand.
“Have you been drinking?” Weiss asked concernedly. “No, its just the lack of sleep” Vaughn sighed. And heartache that he didn’t mention, knowing full well that Weiss did know.
“Umm…” Vaughn started out a little hesitant, “is Syd around…maybe she would want to join us. Anyways, I really need to take to her. I haven’t seen her much lately since, you know what happened.”
“Weiss?” Vaughn questioned when he didn’t answer. Vaughn’s emerald eyes met with Weiss’s big brown ones, and he could tell he was holding something back. When his gaze darted towards the floor.
“Man, i…I was meaning to tell you this at lunch, well actually a week ago. Hmm…ya know how Syd hasn’t been in all week, and…well” Weiss moved his right hand to the back of his head, squeezing hard, and trying to think of the best explanation possible for this situation.
“Weiss???” Vaughn said again, but those clenched teeth this time. The suspense was killing him and the rage was bubbling over. He wanted to punch Weiss if in the next second he didn’t know what was going on with Sydney.
“Sydney, umm…”
“Sydney, umm…what? Just spit it out god damnit.”
