~The Culmination: "Long Awaited." The Explanation~

Today is May 1st, 2010 and as you know, my first ever completed series concluded yesterday. Many people say still be a little blurry on why the series was called what it was. Well, I am about to explain everything.

Reasons To Call This "Long Awaited:"

1. Virginia Presley was in love with David Archuleta for 11 years before he proposed to her and they got married. 11 years is a really long time to be in love. In this time, she hasn't had a boyfriend, except when she was 19. As we followed her throughout the 6 years we've been with her, William, the boy who sexually harassed her and Justin, the man who fooled her, were her boyfriends. William made Virginia close off and that made Justin and David's jobs harder. Virginia was never one to give herself away, give her love and trust away like that, it would take some time for her to finally decide to. Justin finally got to her. Back on track now, Virginia had been in love with David for some time now, she had already given her trust and love away. She was never fully in love with William or with Justin. She actually never called Justin her boyfriend until Allison did behind-the-scenes. Virginia had always had fantasies that David and her would someday meet and fall in love and now that that has actually happened, her dreams have come true. This was the "Long Awaited" moment.

2. In chapter 13, Virginia and David met for the first time in their lives and they felt an instant connection. David never knew what it was and actually, he tried denying it when he started to fall for her, but he could no longer in chapter the chapter titled: "It Took Him Two Years." It took him that long to finally say that he loved her. It took him that long to finally accept all that he has been feeling. Spending sleepless nights and hours upon hours thinking about her must've been tough. That moment in chapter 19 and 20, where he finally said it and decided to go after her was to "Long Awaited" decisions and acceptances.

3. As I said, Virginia and David met for the first time in chapter 13...simply put...Virginia always wanted to meet him and had no clue until "The Fireside" that she would be meeting him, courtesy of James and hidden by their friends. This meeting was also 'Long Awaited!' Sorry for all the puns, but I'm just trying to explain.

4. Virginia was pregnant and was an avid feature in searching for David and finding clues and all of this, but despite that...it still took them 8 months. She was ready to plan a funeral. She had the video telling the fans of David's fate, of his death, already recorded and Chase was ready to let her upload it when Marissa, "The Missing Link," came and told them all the information they needed to find David. Everything changed. This was the 'Long Awaited' hint.

5. And lastly, the 'Long Awaited' finding of David Archuleta in captivity, thanks to Miley, Demi, and Selena...WHO SUCK! After 8 months, many people and many false statements, they found David Archuleta bound in the basement of Miley's childhood home in Long Island. Virginia demanded to go inside and get him and see her husband for the first time in so long. And while there, we all remember, she went into labor. I assume it was from the excitement and the mixed emotions she was feeling and that she was so far along when they finally found him. It was a shock and that little spark set off a chain reaction.

So this is why the series was actually called, "Long Awaited." If any of you were a little unclear on this, I hope what I have just taken the time to write cleared everything up. If you have any questions of comments, you can contact me by posting a comment to this section of the series. The next post will be the official end to the series.

"Long Awaited" Chapter 50: "Happily Ever After" (Finale)

Virginia's Point-Of-View:

I see a few paramedics come into the basement. I'm sitting on the floor, writhing in pain. I'm performing the breathing exercises my mom helped me to perfect, but they were not working well.

Me: "Where's David?"

Fredrick: "Is all you think about is him?"

Me: "Yeah! I'm worried! How's he doing?"

Fredrick: "They took him to the hospital, okay? Now it's time to think about yourself."

Me: "Fine, OW! Take me there!"

Fredrick told me he needed my help to get me on the stretcher. I cooperated with him and I got on. Thomas and Fredrick helped me get to the hospital. They stayed with me in the back while a lady, Tanya, drove us. They wanted to make sure I didn't have anymore horrible contractions. In 10 minute's time, we are at the hospital and I immediately ask for David, but they need to prepare me for the table. A few minute's later, I'm getting wheeled into the operating room. David comes in about 5 minutes later and he looked better than before.

David: "How's she doing?"

Doctor: "She's 9 1/2 centimeters and we have to do this now."

David: "You can start."

Doctor: "Go by her side."

David: "Guarantee I'll be there the whole time."

And my husband runs over to my side and grabs my hand despite that he only found out about my condition a half an hour ago.

Chase's Point-Of-View:

We see a car pull into the driveway from the front yard. We don't know who, but I take my team to the source. We sneak stealthily to the backyard, not to alarm any possible suspects or intruders. We hear the back door open as we enter the backyard. We see three ladies enter the house and then we check out the license plate. It was Miley's car. They were home, just in time. I signal my crew to head up the stairs. I get in front of them and demand Miley and the other two girls open the door.

Me: "Miley! We have the place surrounded. You and your friends, come out with your hands up."

Miley: "No, I still have a hostage!"

Me: "It's all over now. We took David to the hospital. He's safe and you have nothing to change our minds. We'll either force ourselves inside and arrest you and you'll come out peacefully. If you do so, we can probably give you time off."

Demi: "Miley! You said we wouldn't get caught!"

Miley: "I didn't think Marissa would say anything!'

Me: "Marissa, whoever that is, has nothing to do with this!"

Selena: "Well then who told you?"

Like the feeling from a movie scene, an episode of CSI or something, I open the back door that was left unlocked by a surprising chance, and quietly me and two of my men, go inside. I keep talking to them, sneaking around walls, pretending like I was still outside, but I wasn't. We move around the house as stealthily as we can and then I sneak up behind Miley. Patrick gets Demi and Harry gets Selena. We slap the handcuffs on their wrists and I read then their rights.

Me: "Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, and Selena Gomez, you are under arrest for the kidnapping and false imprisonment of David Archuleta. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney, if you can not afford one, the court will appoint one to you."

Harry, Patrick, and I take the three girls out to the cars and place them in separate vehicles. We have done it. Three menaces are off the streets, a superstar is safe, and a mother is going to have her husband back and he will see his baby born.

Virginia's Point-Of-View:

I thought I was only pregnant with one child, but I just had twins. One was a boy and one was a girl. We named the girl Diane Jaclyn Archuleta and the boy Cody Brian Archuleta. But sometime after the operation, a nurse came by and said they needed David again. They needed to run some more tests to make sure the drugs Miley and the others gave him will not hurt him. He went back with the lady. I was lying down in the recovery room when my husband was wheeled in.

David: "That was painful."

Me: "What?"

David: "They had to pump my stomach."

Me: "Yeesh!"

David: "But you went through a lot more. I just wish I knew that you were pregnant."

Me: "No, you shouldn't have. Because either way you were going to get kidnapped and then if you knew, you would be terrified for me and you might've not been as strong. You might not be here with me now."

David: "Aww, honey. Knowing that you were pregnant would make me stronger and I would hold onto life just knowing you were out there looking for me."

Me: "I would've never stopped looking for you. Just knowing you were out there, somewhere with some freak kept me going everyday. I knew I had to be strong for you."

David: "Honey..."

Me: "No, I needed to be strong for you. You were always my source of comfort. You always made me happy. I knew from the beginning that if there was a time of need for you, I would have to be yours."

David: "I---"

Just then two nurses came in holding our new children.

Nurse one: "Here's little Diane."

Nurse two: "And baby Cody."

They handed both of the children to me. I brought them close to my face and hugged them tightly. I laughed.

David: "What's funny?"

Me: "The only thing that kept me going while you were missing were these two. They were my only physical link to you."

David stood up out of the chair and walked over to me. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and smiled when he saw the babies' faces.

David: "You did a great job."

Me: "We did a great job!"

David gets a little dizzy and sits down on the other bed next to me. He brings it closer to my bed and lays down on it.

Me: "You know I love you, don't you?"

David: "Every waking moment and you better know that I love you."

Me: "I do."

I look through the giant windows in front of me, across the walkway. The sun is about to set and I tell David to look out that way as well. He does and we sit there for what seemed like an eternity, staring until the sun set in a flash. In that flash was a deeper meaning, it showed me everything that has happened. From the first time David and I met, transferring over to our wedding and the kiss, then the concert in which David was taken and finally finding him again. Everything. But the flashes kept coming, 10 years from now. Our children all grown up. Growing old together and loving every second of it. I didn't know if he saw the same thing I did, but I honestly didn't care. I closed my eyes and a tear falls out. David looks over and wipes the tear away. The lights now on in the recovery room, he smiles at me.

David: "Why are you crying?"

Me: "I'm just so glad to have you back and you have to promise me you'll never leave me again."

David: "I would never dream of it, Gin. I missed you. I love you."

He leans over to me and gives me a kiss. The moment our lips interlocked, the flashes came back, but it was of nothing but a picture of this beautiful moment. I was holding the babies and he was kissing me. It was a beautiful picture, something I never wanted to get rid of. I cried again when the picture faded to black and I came back to reality.

Our Reality.

~ The End ~

Or is it?

"If love is in play, then let love stay because with this feeling, there can be no end."

"Long Awaited" Chapter 49: "This Complicates Things"

Virginia's Point-Of-View:

I run over to David, on the floor in the basement of this house, and I try coaxing him to wake up. I pick up his head in my hands and look at his face. I'd never seen him look worse, but to me he still looked gorgeous.

I start smacking his face a little, not too hard, I didn't want to hurt him, "David! David! David! Wake up, honey!" I try that about 6 times, but nothing happens. I remember that Marissa said he was under a lot of anesthetics. I sigh and back up. I look at him for a while wondering what I should do to wake him up. Nothing crosses my mind so I just sit back and think. Soon, David starts moving a little and he opens his eyes just slightly.

David: "Leave me alone."

Me: "David?!"

David opens his eyes fully now because he recognizes my voice, "Ginia?"

Me: "Yeah, David! I'm here!" I start crying more. I move closer to him to untie his binds.

David: "Thank you, honey! I missed you!"

Me: "You missed me? I missed you!"

David looks at me now and notices my stomach. "Woah, are you pregnant?"

Me: "No really!" I laugh at the tone of our voices. Very playful, I missed this with him.

David: "How come I didn't know?" He moves a hair away from my face.

Me: "You were kidnapped before I could tell you, ouch!"

David: "Oh, did I hurt you?" He asks because he knows I get hurt easily.

I close my eyes in pain, "No...just...my stomach! It's been a hurting slightly all day."

David: "How far along are you?"

Me: "Um...8 and half months."

David: "Oh. My. God. No way. You're not!"

Me: "OW! I'm not what?"

David: "Are you going into labor?"

Me: "I don't know!"

David: "How'd you find me?"

Me: "Some girl came to the police station. There's police cars outside. And ambulances."

David: "I'll be right back, stay right here."

As weak as he was, he got up.

David's Point-Of-View:

I got up from my pregnant wife and said I'd be right back. I knew I shouldn't leave her there, but I had to go get the ambulance people. I walk up the stairs as fast as I can, I would run if I could, but my head was still throbbing from all the anesthetics, up the stairs. I remembered being transported inside the house and I remembered the way to the front door. I maneuver my way through the upstairs house and to my surprise, a man was waiting at the door for me.

Chase: "David! I'm so happy to see you're alive!"

Me: "Thanks! Umm...we got a situation in the basement..."

Chase: "What?"

Me: "Uhhh...Virginia's in labor."

Chase: "WHAT?"

Me: "Yeah, I think we need someone down there..."

Chase: "Fred! Get a stretcher, she's in labor!"

Fredrick: "OH MY! We'll be right there!"

Fred and a crew member come running into the house really fast and whiz past me. That made me even more dizzy. I wanted to follow them, but I could barely stand up.

Chase: "Come with me. We'll get you on the other ambulance. You'll meet your wife at the hospital. She'll be fine."

Me: "I want to see our baby born though."

Chase: "You will, but the nurses will get you cleaned up and will give you something to counteract the drugs Miley gave you."

I can barely see straight and Chase takes my hand to the ambulance, where they put me inside. We drive off down the road, supposedly the way to the hospital. On the way there, I see Miley's car come by...she was going to meet them there.

"Long Awaited" Chapter 48: "4 Minutes"

Chase's Point-Of-View:

Within seconds of the new information, I get on the phone with the Sergeant.

Sergeant Antonio Gradden: "We've been waiting for something like this! Get your crew and go! I'll call the hospital and give them the address. They'll meet you there, okay?"

Me: "Of course, I just wanted to clear this with you. Should I bring Virginia with us?"

Gradden: "Absolutely, but keep her protected at all times."

Me: "Of course!"

I retrieve Virginia and her mother from the room that Marissa was in. We thanked Marissa and told her to come with us. We had her and Virginia in separate vehicles though because she was still a risk. We didn't know anything about her and it was putting Virginia's life in danger just having her talk to Marissa. We start the vehicles up and we can see with that start, we lifted Virginia's spirits up. We had to get there fast.

Marissa: "Oh and Mr. Carson."

Me: "It's Chase."

Marissa: "Oh right, Miley, Demi, and Selena are out so you can get there undetected. David is under some serious anesthetics so he is completely out of it right now. I can't say the same when we arrive, but Miley and the others will still be out at that moment. She said they're out grocery shopping and they won't be back for a long time."

Me: "Thank you again, Marissa. We really appreciate it. You do not understand how large of an input you've had on this case."

Marissa: "I can only imagine."

In just thirteen minutes, we arrive at the house where David has been kept for the longest time. This was the final countdown. This was the end.

I saw the ambulance coming in from behind us.

Me: "Okay, thanks for coming, but wait until we say we need you. Don't go inside. It might be booby trapped."

Fredrick Tamphlon: "Absolutely. We'll wait for your signal."

Virginia's Point-Of-View:

I get out of the vehicle I was told go inside with my mom as soon as Chase gets out and I run, well...you know what I mean, over to him.

Me: "The fans are happy!"

Chase: "What do you mean?"

Me: "I tweeted and got a million and one responses."

Chase: "Umm...okay? Who do you want to send inside to get David?"

Me: "Me."

Chase: "No! You can't!"

Me: "Why not?"

Chase: "I promised Serg I'd keep you safe. plus you're pregnant...if something were to happen to you..."

Me: "Chase," I look him straight in the eyes. "I watch crime shows. I know what you're feeling. Just let me go inside. I want my husband to see me first."

Chase: "I don't know if that would be a good idea. But...go..."

Me: "Thanks!"

Chase: "But wait until we know no one is in there beside David!"

Me: "Okay."

Chase runs over to a police vehicle and starts looking at the scanners that they placed over near the building. They were heat scanners and they could detect heat particles from people inside. Soon, after they surveyed the entire house, he runs back over to me.

Chase: "All systems go. You can go, but I still don't think this is a good idea. He's in the basement."

Me: "I'll be fine. I don't care. I just need to see him." I run away from Chase and run inside the building. I start watching very carefully where I step when I enter the house. The first thing I see was a living room, it was very nice, actually. I start looking very discreetly around corners for any sign there's a door to the basement. Across the kitchen, in the back of the house, I see the door. It's open and I know it's the basement. I walk across the kitchen, ducking and being ninja-like, at least as ninja-esque I could be with this huge stomach. I was actually doing a pretty good job. I go to the door and start walking down the stairs. Right before my eyes, there he was. Tied up and bound by his hands in the basement. I cried that I finally have seen him again. I run to him.

* To Be Continued *

"Long Awaited" Chapter 47: "The Missing Link"

Virginia's Point-Of-View:

8 months later...

I was a wreck without David. After a month of Utah, I was sick and tired and I had to go back. I stayed with my parents and I told them that I was pregnant so it was no surprise to see me getting bigger. My mother liked to see me like this, but I didn't know why. I just thought it reminded her of how she was with me. I was happy that she was happy, but on the inside...the only thing keeping me from letting myself go was being pregnant. It was the only physical reminder of David that I had. Thankfully, we knew who it was, but the only problem was that there was no way of getting to her. This means that there was no way of getting to David. Thinking about that made me dejected and I just wish there was a way to get to him...but by now, I was ready to plan a funeral. I was that sure he was too long gone that he couldn't still be alive. The Archies were the best fans ever. They knew my feelings and they were there for me. They knew how I felt as soon as I put up the public service announcement stating I think David might be gone. They were there. They would talk to me. They would comfort me. They would try to cheer me up, but I knew that they felt the same way except for the being pregnant thing. Anyway, for the past few months, I've been wearing black. I think that is the most common color in my closet now. Honestly, my hope was almost all gone, that was before I received that one call.

Chase: "Virginia, we need you down at the police station now."

Me: "Why? What's the problem?"

Chase: "There is someone here who refuses to talk to me. She demands to speak to you! She says she has information on the whereabouts of your husband."

Me: "Are you serious?"

Chase: "Just get down here!"

My mom was standing by my side and she could hear what Chase was saying. She offered to take me to the police station immediately because I was really large. My mom joked with me about that. I thought it was funny. So we got in the car and she drove me there. She helped me out and we rushed, as fast as we could, into the building. Chase was waiting by the receptionist's desk and smiled when he saw how big I'd gotten.

Chase: "Whoa, how far along are you?"

Me: "8 and a half months."

Chase: "Looks like it."

Me: "HEY! Anyway, where's this person?"

Chase: "Right this way."

He goes in back of me, to make sure I didn't topple over. He dictated which way to go and then I saw a 20something year old girl. She looked not over 25. She was a brunette and wore a fake smile, I knew to calm herself down. When she saw me, she stood up and reached out to shake my hand.

Marissa: "Oh, this is worse than I thought. Oh, hi Mrs. Archuleta."

Me: "Just call me Virginia."

Marissa: "Okay, should we go somewhere more private?"

Chase: "Yeah, go into the interrogation room over there. It's fine."

Chase followed Marissa and I into the room and I sat down diagonally right of her and Chase, to my right. Marissa sat down in front of us.

Marissa: "I have some information about your husband."

Me: "Okay, what would you like to say?"

Marissa: "Miley is one of my friends. She told me everything about this just a week ago. I know where she is and I know how to get there."

Me: "Why would you tell us this? Do you want something in return?"

Marissa: "No, I love David Archuleta. I just want him back."

Me: "Okay, where is she?"

Marissa: "Miley is keeping David in a house on Long Island. She said she loves him and is not going to let him go. I don't know why. She has two accomplices named Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez."
Chase and I look at each other and then at Marissa. our mouthes are hanging open.

Me: "Well, thank you very much, Marissa. Chase, we're going to have to go now."

Marissa: "Hurry and find him. I don't know what she's done with him. All I know is he's alive."

"Long Awaited" Chapter 46: "Good News and Bad News"

Virginia's Point-Of-View:

Daniel: "What do you mean?"

Me: "Well, okay..."

Amber: "Girlfriend, just spit it out..."

Me: "Okay...you know David was doing a show in New York right?"

All: "Yeah..."

Me: "Well, and you know about those phone calls I've been receiving..."

All: "SAY IT!"

Me: "Yeah, well...turns out...my ex-boyfriend set David up with this girl before, her name is Miley Cyrus and she sexually harassed him. Knowing him, he sent her away and got a restraining order against both of them, but those phone calls were all from Miley. God knows how she got my phone number! So tonight at the show...David went to the bathroom, but before he left he said to check on him in 10 minutes...12 minutes later, I go to the men's bathroom and he's gone. Turns out, Miley kidnapped him and we don't know where he is."

There was a long pause that seemed to drag on until the end of time. I could tell they knew it was bad, but just not this bad. And just as I thought, Lupe started crying...to my surprise, I could see some tears in Daniel's eyes. Amber was still in a state of shock, she didn't know what there was to say. Jeff's mouth was hanging open.

Daniel: "Wait! So let me get this straight...This girl named Miley Cyrus kidnapped David?"

Me: "And that's not the worst part of it either."

Jeff: "WHAT?"

Me: "Uhh...yeah, but now is not the right time. I shouldn't say."

Amber: "What is it?"

Me: "Uhh, I can't say it."

Lupe: "Can...you...please....just...tell us...nothing can be worse," she manages out in between her sobs.

I start crying, but the family has no idea why. They think I just finally was hit with reality that David, my new husband, was missing, but that's not why I was crying.

Daniel's Point-Of-View:

I see Virginia begin to cry, but I don't have a clue why. Instinctively, I stand up and walk over to her. I want to give her a hug, but I don't know if I should. I just think to myself: "What do I do?"

Me: "You don't have to tell us if you don't want to."

Virginia: "I want to and I have to, but I just can't."

Lupe: "Then don't say it."

Virginia: "But I should. And you should know!"

Amber: "Gin, we're all here for you. Just...just say it."

Me: "Yeah, no matter what it is...we'll be here for you," I rub her shoulder so as to soothe her.

Virginia: "Amber, remember when you called me two days ago...I had to go because I was going to the doctor?"

Amber: "Yes..." she gasps. I know she caught on.

Virginia: "Well, it wasn't any old doctor...I want to the gynecologist."

Lupe: "Should you be saying this is from of Daniel and Jeff?"

Virginia: (still crying) "Oh, like it matters anymore. Anyway, I'm pregnant."

Lupe: "Oh my gosh, congratulations!"

Amber: "Congrats! I'm so happy! Well, I'm depressed and happy."

Narration:

That night, the Archuletas received both good and bad news. Virginia had no idea what they were going to do with it. But being a pregnant lady, she was still really depressed. What if this baby was born and David wasn't here to see him or her? The Archuletas, however, were both excited and tearful. However, that house was mixed with emotions for that night. Only time will tell what emotions are lingering in the long run.

*To Be Continued *

"Long Awaited" Chapter 45: "Not A Good Sign"

David's Point Of View:

Me: "Ouch-where am I?"

Demi: "Miley, he's waking up!"

Miley: "Perfect."

One of the two voices that I heard I recognized and immediately I wanted to jump up and run away, but I couldn't...I was too weak and I couldn't move. Soon, as I struggle to get the ropes off, I feel a breath on my neck again...

Miley: "How are you doing, sweetie?"

Me: "Get away from me!"

Selena: "Now, now, don't be so hasty, David."

Me: "Who are the other two?"

My eyes are like little slits as I try to open them. I feel so groggy and I can barely breathe right. What did this girl hit me with?

Miley: "This is Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez."

Me: "There's more of you?"

Miley: "Shhh, shhh, quiet..."

And as soon as she said that, my head topples over to my left side and I'm out again.

Virginia's Point-Of-View:

A few hours after we found out about what happened to David, Ray told me he wanted me back in Utah as fast as possible.

"Ray, it's not like I'm the President's wife!" I object.

"Yeah, but if they have David, they might come back for you," he says.

"Not if it's the girl I know it is," I say.

Still in complete shock, I really haven't a clue what to say or what to do. But since Ray said that I should go back to Utah, we compromised. I went to tell my parents the problem and they agreed that should go back to Utah, but as first sign the police need me, fly back immediately. That was the compromise I wanted...but I wanted to stay in New York just in case David showed up. But, honestly...I knew he wouldn't...not with him in Miley's custody.

So that night, we catch a later flight to Utah and fly back. First stop is David's family's house. it would be better hearing it from me and not the media. They would be traumatized if the media knew before them. I knock on the door, it's really late. Thankfully, they are 3 hours behind New York time so it's only 12 midnight there. I still felt really bad waking them up...but it really couldn't wait until the morning. I hear scuffling from inside and then Amber rubs her eyes and opens the door. She was going to college nearby.

Amber: "Virginia! What's the matter? Where's David?"

Me: "Uhh, that's what I need to talk to you about. Can you get the rest of the family? It would not be appropriate for me to wake them up."

Amber: "Surely I would."

She lets me inside and I stand pacing the downstairs living room for a long time. Then I hear Lupe and Daniel rushing down the stairs. They knew it could not be good if I was here at midnight. I could already hear Lupe's tears in the back of my mind. I almost duetted with them.

Lupe runs over to me and gives me a hug, quickly. "Jeff's on his way, honey."

"Good..." I sigh.

Daniel: "Virginia, what's the problem?"

Me: "Uhh, let's wait for Dad to come."

Jeff comes down the stairs really fast. He knows that I would normally not come this late and that something is wrong.

Jeff: "Gin, what's the matter?"

Me: "Could y'all sit down?"

Lupe and Jeff sit together on the couch and Daniel and Amber sit side-by-side on the love seat. I can tell they're all terrified.

Daniel: "Wait, where's David?"

Me: "That's kind of what I have to talk about now..."

* To Be Continued*

"Long Awaited" Chapter 44: "Something I Said"

Ray's Point-Of-View:

The word she said just rang back and forth in my mind like a bell, continuously showing the sign of caution. It took me a long while to actually comprehend an answer to the statement that shocked me like it would've shocked the nations. This is like a movie scene. When she said that one word, it was like the world had just stopped for a moment and the action in the background was not actually happening in my time zone. Like the world had just stopped in its tracks and hasn't budged an inch. That is until she threw her head into my shoulder and started crying like I've never seen her before.

Me: "YOU'RE WHAT NOW?"

Virginia: "I am!"

Me: "How can this happen? You've only been married 7 months!"

Virginia: "I DON'T KNOW!"

Me: "When did you find out?"

Virginia: "Just yesterday, my period was 2 weeks late."

Me: "But your period is always irregular!"

Virginia: "But never that late! I went to the OBGYN and I am pregnant!"

She starts crying again, even worse now than before.

Me: "Sssh, sssh, sssh, we'll find him!"

Virginia: "But what if we don't find him?"

Me: "Don't ever say that! What happened to the Virginia Archuleta that I know?"

Virginia: "She's in here, she's just very upset right now..."

Me: "I can completely understand."

Virginia's Point-of-View:

Staring at the rest of the drama, interviews, and police officers taking statements in the background of what outlined Ray, I see a police officer coming over to talk to us again. He seemed very happy and I wondered why he would be smiling in such a time like this.

Police officer: "Mrs. Archuleta, Mr. Amico, you have to come see this!"

He runs down the hallway to the bathroom where I found out David's intended fate. He has the door open already and is going to show us something. The police officer leads us over to the wall and asks, "Do you have any idea if your husband had any enemies?"

Me: "Um, not really..."

Police Officer: "Do you have any idea if he had any ex-girlfriends?"

Me: "Well, yeah...I guess, why?"

Police officer: "There's a kissing lips mark on the wall right here with a message."

Me: "What? show me!"

He shows me over to a bathroom stall wall and the message is clearly written in red lipstick.

"To Whomever This May Concern,

I have him. And I'm not letting him go. I love him and he's mine now."

I gasp and start crying again. I didn't know what to do, but I thought that I might have an idea who it might be and then the police officer asks the question that I was waiting for.

Police officer: "Do you have an idea who it might be now that you saw this."

Me: "Yes."

Police officer: "Who?"

"Long Awaited" Chapter 43: "...Of The End"

Virginia's Point-Of-View:

I notice that the crowd is getting restless and look at my watch, it's been 12 minutes since he's left. He told me to check on him in 10 so I tell Ray that I will be right back and that I'm going to get David. I jog down the hallway and find the men's restroom. I see some security guard standing outside the door and I'm about to walk in.

Guard: "Ma'am, the ladies' room is over there."

Me: "Oh puh-lease, I'm David's wife!"

Guard: "Oh, I apologize Mrs. Archuleta."

Me: "It's okay."

I push open the door and the men's bathroom and it felt a lot more odd to be in here than I thought it would be.

Me: "David? David? David!" I call three times, but no answer.

I keep walking inside and around the little corner and there is not a peep in the bathroom, no one is in here. David said he would be here, WHERE IS HE?

I run out the door, but before the guard could ask me anything I'm already down the corridor running to tell Ray. I could hear the men's bathroom door open again and I knew the guard knew now. He went inside to double check. I keep on running down the hall to Ray and I could hear the audience chanting, "DAVID! DAVID! WE WANT DAVID!"

Me: "Ray! Ray!"

Ray: "What, Gin?"

Me: "David's gone!"

Ray: "WHAT?!"

Me: "He's not in the bathroom and I don't know where else he would've went!"

Ray: "Calm down, calm down, we'll just call his pager and cell, he'll pick up and come!"

Ray takes out his cell phone and calls the pager, no answer.

Me: "Well?"

Ray: "Maybe he doesn't have his pager on, I'll call his cell."

Me: "No, I'll do it, just wait a second."

I could hear the screams from the audience growing louder and stronger so I run out on stage and grab the microphone in the middle of the stage.

Audience: "VIRGINIA!"

Me: "Uhh, hi, guys! How is everything going tonight?"

Audience: *screams*

Me: "Haha, great to hear it. Anyway, who wants David?"

Audience: *screams*

Me: "Well, just hold on tight...we're having some technical difficulties..."

A man in the audience yells, "What do you mean?"

Me: "Haha, well...I don't mean to alarm you, but we're having trouble locating David..."

Audience: "WHAT?!"

Me: "Don't worry, we'll find him, and in worst case scenario...well...we'll find him!"

I run backstage to Ray and he already called David's cell 6 times and there was no answer.

Me: "What happened?"

Ray: "I don't know where he is!"

Me: "We're going to have to send the audience home...if he's not here and not answering our calls, we can't do anything. The fans will understand, right?"

Ray: "I guess."

In 5 minutes, we broke the news to the audience and told them that when we find David, we'd schedule another show here and he'll perform for them again. They all went home and in 30 minutes, the police were at the venue...where we had no clue David was.

Police officer: "Mrs. Archuleta, do you have any idea where your husband might have gone?'

Me: "David loves to do this, he would never ever ever leave mid-show! Let alone without telling me!'

Police officer: "Okay, okay...what happened?" So I explained to them everything that had happened and another officer wrote down everything I said.

The two officers went over to question Ray and I watched from the sidelines because I did not want to think about this anymore. But soon, I find myself thinking about something completely unrelated that nobody knew but myself. Then, I find myself crying so hard I begin choking.

Ray comes running over to me and says, "Virginia! Virginia! Don't worry, we'll find him!"

Me: "No, it's not that!"

Ray: "Then what is it?"

Me: "I-I-I'm------"

"Long Awaited" Chapter 42: "The Beginning..."

Narration:

Virginia and David came back from their honeymoon just seven months ago. They had a wonderful time in Paris and now it was time for David to get back to work. Even so, David did finish a CD in the time that they were married. It was the shortest time a CD for him has ever taken. He said that "The time I spent with Virginia as my wife has gone by so fast it's not even funny. I've been in a great mood for the past half year." This was probably why the CD was made in such a short period of time because he did much better with writing and recording in a good mood and he was in a great mood. David was on tour for the past month and he invited Virginia to come with him. David decided to make it a tradition that the last tour stop would be New York in honor of his new wife. They were in New York again and David had just finished performing the songs from the new album, but he just came backstage to take a break before the last and final performance.

Virginia's Point of View:

David: "Okay guys, I'll be right back to perform the last song for the night! I love you all and thank you for coming!"

I see David jog off the stage in the direction of me.

Me: "Hey, honey!"

David: "Hey!" He leans in and gives me a gentle kiss on the lips.

Me: "You are doing just wonderful tonight! I'm so proud of you!"

David: "Awww, thank you very much. But I'm not very good..."

Me: "Alright, if you say so!" I roll my eyes in fake exasperation.

David: "Well, I'll be right back."

Me: "Alright, see you soon."

David leans into give me one last kiss and begins to exit the room.

David: "but if I'm not back in 10 minutes come check on me, you know how some fans can be!"

"Oh boy, do I ever!" I think to myself.

David's Point-of-View:

I was headed to go to the bathroom and I jogged down the hallway to get there as fast as I can to be back soon to perform the last song. I opened the bathroom door and walked inside. I undid everything and I started going to the bathroom. Because I'm sometimes very random, I start singing the last song to make sure I remember the lyrics.

In just a few seconds, I start hearing creaking coming from somewhere in the bathroom, but I could not pinpoint where it was coming.

Me: "hello?" And there was no answer so I forget about it.

Then I hear footsteps coming from inside a stall and I say hello again and again no response. I am just about to finish up when I feel someone breathing down my neck.

"Mmm...I wish I got my hands on you when I had the chance."

Me: "WHAT?" I toss my head to both sides wondering where in the world this is coming from, but I would know that menacing voice anywhere. It was Miley.

Miley: "You heard me!"

I zip up my pants and blushing, I say "Miley, GET AWAY!" I walk over to the sink and wash my hands really fast. Until I notice she's following me around, I keep my eyes locked on her to make sure she doesn't try anything.

Miley: "Why? Now that I got you this close to my grasp, why would I leave?"

Me: "Just go! Leave me alone! I have security on speed dial! They'll come and get you!"

Miley: "Like they'll get here in enough time..."

The first words I heard her say come back to my head like a hammer to the brain.

Me: "Why are you here?"

Miley: "I love you, silly." She looks me up and down and licks her lips.

Me: "Miley, I'm-------"

But before I could say the last word, she takes something out of her purse that knocks me out cold and I could see no more. Am I dead?

"Long Awaited" Chapter 41: "Lay All Your Love On Me"

David's Point Of View:

~ Church. August 25th, 11am ~

I asked myself all the time "Do you believe in love? Is there a way to know what love really is? Am I in love?" I knew all the answers to those questions, but I was getting nervous as I sat in my dressing room right before the ceremony was going to begin. I felt fine, but the knot in my stomach was turning like a knife again. I smiled when I heard a knock at the door and I invited them in.

Jeff: "David!"

Me: "Hey, Dad."

Jeff: "What's the matter? You sound unhappy...did something happen?"

Me: "No. Everything's fine."

Jeff: "I know what's wrong."

I look at him and ask, "What?'

Jeff: "Same thing happened to me. Don't worry, those feelings will go away."

Me: "I know they will. I am marrying a beautiful, sweet, kind, loving girl. I would do anything for her. She is amazing."

Jeff: "Aww, David. I really can not believe you are going to get married."

Me: I laugh to take the tense out of the air. "Yeah, me either."

Jeff: "I am so glad that you met the right woman. I am very excited to welcome her in the family."

[1] (READ BOTTOM!)

~ The Ceremony ~

Virginia's Point-Of-View:

Allison: "Okay, Gin, they're about to play 'Here Comes The Bride,' almost time to go."

Me: "Oh, I'm so nervous!"

Jennifer: "WHY?!"

Me: "I don't know."

Allison: "You look beautiful, you have a gorgeous husband-to-be waiting for you, everyone you love and care for is here, why are you nervous?"

Me: "I guess you're right."

Gabriella: "It's time! It's time!"

And before I could even process the words she said, I was heading up the aisle. I was going to get married. I looked up the aisle to my soon-to-be husband standing there, smiling down the walkway to me. I couldn't help but to smile back and I turn my head to both sides of the Church, face red. To this day, I don't know why that was. I guess I was just so excited. My father, on my right arm, was holding me close to him and when he saw David, he knew it was time to let me go. This was a very depressing feat for him to deal with, but he knew I was ready and that I was happy...so he was happy for me.

Priest: "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this couple in Holy Matrimony..." and the priest kept talking and talking for what seemed like forever. David kept on looking at me. Every now and again we'd look at each other at the exact same instant and our minds connected. The last time I remember the stared at each other for almost an eternity and his eyes sparkled when they met. I got weak at the knees..."not a good time and place for a serious collapse," Ithink to myself.

Priest: "And the couple has written their own vows. Sir..."

David's POV;

I look Virginia straight in the eyes, making sure she felt every word I said before I said them and then I started.

Me: "I had been looking for a woman like you for a long time now and I am blessed that I have, and that it was YOU, who I was so lucky to meet. We've been through a lot already, ups and downs, and if it wasn't for your understanding, determination, and unconditional love, we would not be standing here together. And if it wasn't for James, we would've never met. I have to thank him whole heartedly for setting this up. Now, I thank God every second of the day I get to spend with you and that I found you. Despite the things we went through and the obstacles we endured, we are here. Together. Forever. I love you and I always will. And with that, with this ring, I promise to love and cherish you every moment of the life I live. And forever and ever. Our love won't die even after we do."

And when I said that, I saw the tears in her eyes. Normally, I did not like to see her cry, but these were happy tears and I knew she was happy.

Priest: "Ma'am, your vows?"

Virginia was trying to keep her tears from overflowing, but she sucked it up and began.

Virginia: "I wouldn't have ever expected that meeting a celebrity would be the start of the rest of my life. I always had childish fantasies that we would one day meet and fall in love, but I never thought it would actually happen. Now, those fantasies don't seem so childish anymore because look at where we are. And though neither of us saw each other coming, we can sure imagine and pray for all that is coming next. To love you is to love life because you are my life now. There is nothing that will change my mind about that, and no matter who comes along, you will always be my number one. You make me want to be a better woman. Despite our differences, we can always make things work out in the end if we just believe. Belief in us will help us to overcome anything. I love you, I need you, and nothing can change that. With this ring, I swear for as long as I live...I will love you, I will hold you when you are scared or in pain, and do everything I can to help you feel safe and secure. For life and for eternity."

Priest: "If anyone objects to this union, let them speak now or forever hold their peace."

All I could hear in this Church was sobbing from people on both our sides, they could feel our love already. I didn't know what to think.

Priest: "I know pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride."

And we kissed for a long time. It seemed like life and time had slowed down just for us to share this peace in the moment. If this isn't Heaven than I don't know what is.

We ran out of the Church 2 moments later...

* To Be Continued *

[1] Before You Read: I wanted to see if I could make this chapter religiously correct, but I don't know anything about the LDS celebration of marriage...so...I just used the Catholic/Christian one and changed some of the vows that I know are in the Mormon celebration.

"Long Awaited" Chapter 40: "Say Yes To The Dress"

Jennifer's POV:

"Oh my God, Virginia! You look beautiful!" I exclaim as Virginia comes out of the dressing room with the 3rd dress on.

She looks in the mirror and contorts her face, "I don't know, does it look good?"

"It looks gorgeous!" Allison says before I could say anything.

She bites her lip, "I don't know guys, I've never gone shopping like this before, I can't tell if he'll like it. I don't know if I like it!" She laughs at her own stupidity. We were out shopping for her wedding dress just 2 months after the proposal. They were getting married in August. The 25th to be exact and we were all excited. Allison and I offered to come because she wanted second opinions and we were two of her bridesmaids.

"Are you serious?" I question, "You're worrying if David won't like your wedding dress?"

She laughs again, "Yeah, how do you guys know if you like a dress a lot?"It was obvious she never did some serious shopping like a lot of the other girls at school did.

I think about this because I never shopped for a wedding dress either, but I did remember the shows I used to watch when I was little with my mom. I remembered the shows like "Say Yes To The Dress," where the ladies knew it was their dress when they started crying. I immediately thought that Virginia wouldn't cry if she looked at herself in the mirror if she loved a dress. So I told her my best answer and she was like "We're going to be here all day."

Luckily, we were not there all day. Actually, after about 5 more dresses, we found the one for her and she did cry. She thought it looked beautiful. We all agreed and to reassure her we told her that if she wore anything, David would love it. We knew he would, he loves her so much. When she told us, just two months ago, she brought David with her and we could tell from the look in his eyes and the way he looked at her that he truly, definitely, irrevocably loved her. And yes, we did tell her that in that exact format. We knew she knew Twilight so she laughed when we said "irrevocably."

[1] (view bottom before reading farther!!!)

Virginia's Point-Of-View:

About 6 months later...

August 23rd, 2 days before the wedding.

There was a very short time between the wedding and between the honeymoon and I could not wait for David to be all mine. I was overexcited for something else as well, to be Mrs. David Archuleta! This was truly the biggest and most important occasion in my life to date. This was the greatest happening ever. Everything was set up. My parents were here, my friends were here, his parents and siblings were here...everyone we loved was here to support us in this step in our lives. Standing in the middle of the bedroom, I feel a gentle kiss on my neck and I know it's the love of my life greeting me again.

Me: "Oh David, stop."

David: "I just can't keep my hands off of you!"

Me: "Just two more days, honey."

David: "Oh my gosh, I just remembered...did you get any more of those calls?"

Me: "Actually, no, kind of weird. I guess since we announced our intentions they stopped. And just in time right?" I laugh.

David: "I didn't think so since you haven't been mentioning them."

me: "Let's just hope it stays that way!"

* To Be Continued *

[1] If you are reading this, then you A. have read the entire chapter and not stopped when I told you to or B. you stopped when I told you to...and if that's the case, I praise you. Anyway, from the beginning point of the footnote ([1]), it was just a closer to the chapter. I really didn't mean it to be dirty, but it is. This chapter was a challenge and I didn't want to make it too short so...I just used the first thing that popped into my head. I'm disappointed in myself with the horrible nature of the last part. Personally, you'll be happier to read the next chapter. :) Thanks.

"Long Awaited" Chapter 39: "All I Want For You"

Virginia's POV:

I had to tell my parents I was engaged. They would not be happy for me to spring it on them in a few months. I actually wasn't very sure how they'd react today, considering they only met David a week ago, but they seemed to really like him. David and my dad really hit it off, talking about just random guy stuff, it was very fun to watch. And my mother just adored David's gentlemanly nature and kind heart. She said it kind of felt like his aura was exceeding his body's limits and reaching out to those around him. I didn't know she had those words in her, but I guess she proved me wrong. Well anyway, the next day I asked my parents if I could come over later and they made absolutely no objection. All I said was that I really wanted to talk to them to put it plain and simple and save the surprise for it them later.

THE BIG REVEAL:

That night, I drove over to my parent's house without David because he had to do some surprise recordings that the label just scheduled. I guess he didn't mind it because he seemed happy that I was going to see my parents and tell them of our plans alone. I didn't know why, but "okay."

At my parents' house, they immediately rush into things and ask me what's wrong because it seemed like a big thing over the phone.

"Calm down!" I exclaim to my worried mother. "Nothing's wrong."

"Well, what's up then?" she asks coolly.

"Well, Mom...where's Dad?" I ask.

She thinks for a second and responds in another question, "Why? Did you need him?"

"Not really, but I thought i should tell him what I'm going to tell you, too," i say after a second of silence.

My mom let's out a cry, "RAY! VIRGINIA NEEDS TO TELL US SOMETHING!" I knew she was just playing around though, she did that a lot.

My dad emerges from the upstairs bedroom in a robe and says, "Uh-huh?"

"Dad, please...sit down," I say calmly.

He hesitates and asks, "Is something wrong?"

"No..." I try to think of something else to say, "Absolutely nothing! It's actually great news!"

My mom blurts out, "Well don't keep us waiting! Say it!"

I bite my lip and just say it like she told me to, "David and I are getting married!"

With the silence that now engulfed the room, I could not tell if this was a good or a bad sign. I looked first to my father, whose mouth was hanging open and then to my mother, who had her eyes fixated on me in shock, but there was no revelation if they liked this plan yet. I sat there in suspense for about 2 minutes until my mother finally snapped out of it.

Mom: "OH MY GOSH! CONGRATULATIONS!"

Dad: "I didn't know he'd ask you so fast after I gave him permission."

Me: "What?"

Dad: "What?"

Me: "You knew about this?"

Dad: "Well of course! You wouldn't be getting married if I didn't!"

Mom: "Honey, you have a full blessing! We love David! We love you! And if you love David and you're happy, then that's all we want for you!"

Then I was the one sitting there in shock, with my mouth hanging open, gaping at my father who kept this secret for so long. Well, it wasn't so long as it was how good he kept it silent.

Me: "OH MY GOD! I LOVE YOU!" I jump up after coming to terms with reality.

I. Was. Getting. Married.

* To Be Continued *

"Long Awaited" Chapter 38: "A Dream Come True"

David's POV:

I signal the band to play the song Virginia and I decided was "Our Song." Luckily, the instructor to the band was looking over at me at the moment and he saw my signal that we set up before tonight. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Fredrick, the instructor, turn around and start conducting his band.

Me: "Well, how about this." I pull the ring out of my pocket and get down on one knee in front of her.

Virginia: "You're not saying this, are you?" I begin skeptically.

I look directly into her eyes and without blinking I say it. "Why would I joke about something like this?"

Virginia: "You...wouldn't..." her mouth drops open with realization of what I'm doing.

I continue staring into her eyes and ask her officially, "Virginia Presley, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Virginia: "WHAT?" I begin crying

Me: "Will you?" I ask her again.

Virginia: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YES!"

When she says that she slides off the chair and gives me a gigantic embrace, like she hadn't seen me in months and I could feel the warm tears on the back of neck. I really didn't know what to do except hug back and all I could muster out of my mouth was "Thank you." At this point, now more than ever, all eyes are fixated on us. I could hear the "awwws" from every which way in the room. Soon after the extended embrace, we go back to eating. Virginia kept looking up at me and smiling at me. I could hear her say one thing in the next 10 minutes, "I'll be forever yours," and I was so touched. After 10 minutes had passed, she excused herself from the table to go to the bathroom.

Virginia's POV:

In the bathroom:

Me: "Oh my GOD! I'm engaged!" I start freaking out to myself. I didn't know what to make of this. I was really excited to be David's wife, especially because I had loved him since the time I was 11. This was literally a dream come true, similar to a fairy tale. When I was little, I never believed life was a fairytale, but could it be that I was wrong? That life is what you make it to be and if you believe in it enough, you can make anything happen. I had so much faith that David and I would someday meet and fall in love and this was exactly what I was hoping for. This was the start of the rest of my life. I look down at the ring on my finger and start crying even harder than I had before. "Everything is going to change now," but I never had given much thought to why I said that or what it meant. I picked up my phone and dialed my friend Allison's number. She would be so happy to hear this.

Allison: "Gin! Hey, what's up?"

Me: "I'M ENGAGED!"

Allison: "WHAT?"

Me: "You heard me right! David proposed tonight!!"

Allison: "Oh my God! I am so happy for you! You must be like in a state of shock or something!"

Me: "You got that right, Alli! I can not believe it! I am still wondering if this is a dream."

Allison: "I bet! It's kind of indescribable to have a dream come true, I imagine!"

Me: "So correct! If you were in my place, you would be like dying right now."

Allison: "I can only guess. The man you've loved for so long finally popped the question and you are going to get married. It's like a fairytale!"

Me: "I was just saying that!"

We talk for a little while longer and soon enough, I have to go back to dinner with my fiancée! Oh my gosh, that is just impossible to think about.

David Archuleta was my fiancée!

* To Be Continued *

"Long Awaited" Chapter 37: "Don't Do This To Me"

A Life Was Fulfilled Today...

Virginia's POV:

A week after we visited my parents, David asked me out to go to a charming little restaurant he found while on tour one time. I was really excited to go that night and I hadn't a clue why, I just was. At about 7 o' clock, David and I were ready to go and we drove over to the restaurant. I was really hungry, but I didn't know what I wanted. David walked in very casually, not even hiding his face. He thought that brought attention to himself and I thought that was really intelligent of him.

David: "2 please."

Waiter: "Right this way, Sir" he turned around quickly and I knew he was thinking "OH MY GOD! IT'S DAVID ARCHULETA!" To that, I laughed silently to myself.

I could see he was trying to calm himself to not blow his cover.

Waiter: "Your server will be with your shortly." And with a little skip, he hopped away into the kitchen like a little school girl in a way.

David: "Well that's awkward."

Me: "Haha, you're telling me..." and we both laugh rather loudly.

After about 7 minutes, someone has their eyes locked on David sitting across the table from me and I could tell who it was. It was the server, she was trying to work up the courage to come over to the table and not to fangirl all over him. I remembered how it was with me.

Server: "Hey sweetie, my name is Courtney and I'll be your server tonight. Should we start you off with a drink or are you ready to order?"

David flashes her a smile and I could tell her heart was about to jump out of her chest. "I think we're ready to order, right honey?"

Me: "Umm...yeah" I try to stifle the laughs I'm about to choke up.

Courtney takes our order and when she walks away and David looks right back at me, I watch her walk away. She takes the order form and starts fanning herself and I can no longer hold the laughs back and I burst out laughing.

David: "What's so funny?!"

Me: "Did you see her?"

David: "No, I only see you."

Me: "Awww, David. What has gotten into you tonight, you've been so romantic."

David: "I don't know..." he slides his eyes gracefully to the left. I know he was just not saying why and he knew why, but maybe it was a private matter. I smile at him and he smiles back, now, I kind of felt like that waitress.

Courtney comes back about 10 minutes later with our food and we thank her. As soon as she leaves, we begin to eat our food. For some bizarre reason, David didn't take his eyes off of me. I was getting really discomposed and he noticed, like he always did, and he took his eyes off of me to look down at his plate.

Me: "David, why do you keep looking at me?"

David: "Just admiring your beauty."

I blush and look to the side, trying to hide it, but it never works, he knows me too well.

David: "And that's something I love about you."

Me: "What?"

David: "How you get so embarrassed by the slightest complement. How you don't want to show it. How you love without a word. And how you feel without touch."

Me: "Woah, David! You're a poet now?"

David: "Not exactly, just came to my head..."

Me: "You're making me cry...don't do this to me."

David: "Do what?"

Me: "You know..." I start making hand motions...

David: "Well..."

*To Be Continued*

"Long Awaited" Chapter 36: "And It Continues..."

Narration:

Miley has her planned plotted out against Virginia and David. She's already put it into action, but how would the rest go down? No one shall know.

Virginia's POV:

I feel my phone ring once again. I pick up my phone in front of David this time because I decide it's safe.

Me: "Hello?"

Caller: "You don't have much time."

Me: "Why won't you tell me who you are?!"

Caller: "It's still none of your concern."

And the line disconnects again. David can see anguish in my eyes. I have been receiving calls like these for months now and it's really starting to get on my nerves. Not knowing who this girl is is really scary and I just want her to stop. After the 4th call, I thought it might have been a fan of David's who isn't happy with my dating him...but even after David addressed the matter over the internet, using a public service announcement, nothing stopped. He assured me that if it was a fan, they would have stopped because they respect him too much to let this continue and know that it is distressing him just as much as it is me. Plus, most of the fans really liked me so why would they do this to me? By the 8th call, I thought it might be a friend just trying to freak me out. I called them all and none of them fessed up to it. When the sincerity in their voices factored in, I knew it wasn't them. By the 12th call, I had no idea who it might be because most people would have discontinued their harassment so I came to the conclusion that...A: This person is very persistent and isn't giving up until I make them or B: It is someone I don't know.

David is on free time now. I asked him to come to New York he could meet me parents if he felt like he had to. When I asked him, he seemed very relieved and I was happy because he agreed. I wanted to see how he got along with my family, although I was sure they'd love him to death...especially my mom.

The Day Of The Meeting:

Me: "David, remember, it's just my parents. I know they'll love you."

David: "If you're sure."

I go inside the house and introduce David to my parents. He shakes my father's hand and gives my mother a hug. I could tell they already liked him.

Dad: "So David, what's up?"

David: "Umm, well, Sir..."

Dad: "Oh, just call me Ray..."

David: "Haha, that's the name of my tour manager."

Dad: "Really? That's nice!"

Me: *whispers to Dad* "Don't humor him!"

Mom: "Have you been taking good care of our daughter?"

Me: "Mom! Of course he has!"

Mom: "Just checking."

Me: "Sometimes I wonder about you." I shake my head at her and laugh.

For the next like 20 minutes, my parents burn David with questions. I frequently ask them to calm it down, but they don't...whatever. As the interrogation of David continues, I receive another phone call and excuse myself from the room. Being very guarded right now, I answer with hostility.

Me: "Tell me who you are!"

Jennifer: "Your best friend!"

Me: "Jennifer?!"

Jennifer: "Yeah, who else could it be, silly?"

"Long Awaited" Chapter 35: "Wrong Number"

David's POV:

I just really brought Virginia to Utah to see how she would get along with everyone, I was not expecting to have all the friends she made here. When they did reveal themselves, it appeared like she was more at home so if it made her more relaxed and comfortable, I was content with this set-up. For most of the night, I really just sat back and watched how she was getting along with my family and stuff. Sometimes I engaged in conversations, mostly to complement her statements and things, but I mainly just wanted to observe the night. One thing I found out that night that I never thought of asking her was her political party. My mom started talking about politics, I never knew she was so passionate about the subject...but she was explaining something about a past President and what he did wrong. That night, I found out she was a Republican and agreed 100% with my mother. That made me VERY happy!

When her friends began to leave at the end of the night, she started to get really bored and sat down on the chair next to me, hoping for a conversation so I gave it to her.

Me: "Seems like you get along great with my family. I'm glad!"

Virginia: "Ahh, I love you family! They are so sweet! And nice!"

Me: "Haha, I guess they got the right impression from you!"

After a few seconds of silence, I hear her ringtone go off and it was the song I wrote for her.

Me: "Gin! You didn't!"

Virginia: "What? You wrote it for me and I love it, so!"

I shake my head at her and feign disappointment, she laughs and picks up her phone and goes to the other room and talk in private.

Virginia's POV:

I pick up my phone and escort myself out of the room. I wanted to speak with the unknown caller in private. Soon, I look down at the caller ID and it says "restricted" and I automatically think it's my mother, my father, or a friend calling from a landline. I pick it up and answer it casually.

Me: "Hey! What's up?"

Caller: "Hello" a mysterious, female tone answers. I've never heard this voice before.

Me: "Uhh, hi, who is this?"

Caller: "No one of your concern."

Me: "Um, yeah it is. You called my cell phone. Who are you?"

Caller: "Who do you think I am?"

Me: "I don't know. Rachel? Allison? Amanda? Jennifer?"

Caller: "Nuh-uh"

And the line disconnects. I do not have any information to link the call back to any source. The phone call was too short for police to track and they couldn't now that she's hung up. This was very strange, to say the least. I try to find everything I can about this unknown, mystery caller by using my cellphone..callback number: nothing. call source: nada. I even went to try to get the restricted number to pop up, but with no luck. While I'm looking down at my phone I feel a hand touch my shoulder and I jump.

David: "Woah, a little jumpy, are we? What happened?"

Me: "Uhh, I just got a weird call. Nothing big, I don't think."

David: "I don't know. Did it say what number it was?"

Me: "No, it just came up as restricted."

David: "Probably a wrong number or something."

He takes his hand and picks my head up. He looks deeply into my eyes and takes notice of something out of character for me.

David: "You don't look so good."

Me: "What do you mean, David?"

David: "You look like you saw a ghost. What did the person say?"

Me: "Nothing important or that could help me locate the person. It just felt like very..." and I shake and he feels me do so. He takes me in his arms and gives me a big hug.

David: "There's nothing to worry about, yet. Calm down."

Me: "I suppose you're right. I got to stop being such a worry-wart."

"Long Awaited" Chapter 34: "Locked In Love"

Narration:

This was not going to turn out well for anyone. David loves Virginia. Virginia loves David. Justin loves Virginia. Miley loves David. Miley was planning a way to get to David, but no one knew what it was except for her. For the next few months, she kept herself locked up in her room...only taking leave to eat, and go outside in the fresh air, but she usually opened the window for that. She was busy at work with her devious plan, unfolding in her demented mind. To make things worse, nobody knew what she was working on and not many people cared to know so she was free to take as much time as she wanted. Justin hadn't heard from her in so long he thought she killed herself. He didn't want to go over to her house to see if she was alright because the conscience would fight its way back to the surface and he didn't want to feel the remorse and resentment that he had before. She was there, undisturbed, for a year. She was ready to put her plan into action.

Virginia's POV:

For the next year after I left Justin to be with David, everything was working out fine. Between us and between us and the world. Honestly, it was quite laid back and everything I remember from when we were friends...when I was on vacation in Utah over three years ago. But as soon as that one day came, it started getting scary. This is what happened:

David took me to Utah to see a surprise or something. I never really got a straight forward answer on why he wanted to take me to Utah, but he did and I happily agreed to go. When we got to Utah, I finally understood why he wanted to take me. I remembered he wanted to introduce me to his WHOLE family. I had already met Daniel, but I guess he wanted to see how I got along with his little sister. Well, she wasn't little anymore. She was actually 20 now, I had to remember to do that math before I entered the house. "David is 28, I'm 22 and Amber is 2 years younger than me...okay, she's 20!" To my surprise, all of the Archuletas were at the house. I didn't think that Melissa Jasmine, nevermind Claudia would be there. I am usually very restricted around company so I told David before he led me inside. He said it was fine and to just be myself, there was nothing wrong with being a little shy. David knew I was nervous so he went inside before me and helped me inside. Why was I this nervous? I shouldn't be, it was just his family!

David: "Guys, this is Virginia!"

Daniel: "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" he says in a playful manner

Lupe: "Hey honey!" she starts to look at me in an uncomfortable manner. "Have I seen you before?"

Me: "Uhh, maybe, just once."

Lupe: "When?"

Me: "Like three years ago?"

Lupe: "With James and the others, right?"

Me: "YEAH! You remembered! By the way, how are they doing?"

Lupe: "I don't know, you can ask them yourself."

As soon as she said that...James, Veronica, Jessica, Cody, Casey, and Kevin come out of the kitchen.

James: "Virginia! I see everything is worked out!"

Me: "Uhh, yeah!" I smile a teasing smile at him.

He walks past me without making a sound and whispers: "What I tell you! So happy!" in my ear and I blush a little. David didn't see, for that, I was thankful!

(Will be more intimate and interesting in chapters to come. This is really just a set-up for future chapters)

"Long Awaited" Chapter 33: "Impossible"

Miley's POV:

Justin: "HOW?!"

Me: "Well, I saw how he reacted when he felt me touch him and I knew it was because of his love for Virginia. I would just want him to love me like that."

Justin: "Are you kidding me?"

Me: "Would I do that to you?"

Justin: "For a cheap laugh yeah!" I knew he was not taking this well. I wouldn't either. The person I made go harass someone now fell in love with the person they were supposed to harass? Didn't make much sense, did it? I knew it didn't but I didn't care.

Me: "Why I never--anyway, how are we going to get to him again? We need to start planning!"

Justin: "I don't want to start planning again, especially since you're in love with David!"

Me: "What's the problem with that?! I thought you'd be happy for me!"

Justin's POV:

I was starting to get that conscience back that I suppressed from before. It was coming back stronger and stronger after I kept on talking to Miley. I thought it was impossible for her to fall in love with this guy. When the final blow from my conscience kicked in, I blurted out what I know I shouldn't have said.

Me: "I'm not! And I refuse to help you plan a sneak attack on David Archuleta because he's in love with Virginia and Virginia is in love with him! We tried it the first time and it didn't work!"

Miley: "How dare you!"

Me: "I"m just trying to save you the emotional pain. I'm telling you the truth!"

Miley: "Don't you think he could love me?"

I get so mad when she says that. How could this girl who has so much experience with men be so naive with this one guy? I couldn't believe it. I refused to believe it.

Me: "HE WILL NEVER LOVE YOU FOR WHAT I MADE YOU DO TO HIM!"

With that, I hear the line disconnect and I knew she was furious with me. She hung up with so much anger in her, I didn't want her to hurt herself. I couldn't do anything for her now. I was sorry I could not.

Miley's POV:

I hung up in a rage on Justin and immediately began crying. I don't know how I fell for David and I kind of didn't want to know. There was nothing I could do about my feelings now. I could have stifled them, but I didn't. I made a decision and it was obviously the wrong one. I didn't want to love him, but I just did. But what was I supposed to do now. I had an idea. I stopped crying and began thinking about another way to get to David. I started smiling when I was thinking about him and my little devious plan. I know I shouldn't be doing this, but I really didn't care. I just wanted him. I start thinking about what Justin said and I get angry and his picture escapes my mind. I write down everything I thought of that moment and go to sleep. My anger was not going to subside quickly. I just wanted to prove him wrong!

* To Be Continued *

"Long Awaited" Chapter 32: "That Was Unexpected"

Justin's POV:

That night, Virginia doesn't call, not that I think she would anyway. She hated me now. I didn't want her to hate me because I still wanted her so desperately, but that was bloody well over with now. I have a normal dinner with my family...they talk about what happened today, but when I comes to me I just say "same old, same old." I didn't want to keep putting up the act, but I had to. I don't know what my parents would do to me if they knew I had done that to Virginia. They really liked her a lot. She was the perfect woman, though. I got extremely aggravated with myself when that thought had popped into my head..."stupid conscience" I scream inside my head. After dinner, I go upstairs. Thank God the university I was at was close to my house and I could still live at my home. I go upstairs to sulk a little bit and immediately, I begin regretting what I did to David. And worse, what I did to Virginia. It was inevitable that she was going to break up with me anyway. "I just can't compare to David Archuleta," I say in fury...but maybe there was a way I could. I sat myself down to think about that for a good, long time, but nothing in my mind clicks. I'm going to have to do this over a period of time. "I just want her back!" Almost simultaneously, the phone rings and I run over to it on my desk, praying it's Virginia, it wasn't. It was Miley.

Me: "Hi, Miley."

Miley: "Hey, Justin! What's up with Virginia?"

Me: "She broke up with me..."

Miley: "Yeah, you told me that...I know."

Me: "Anything else?"

Miley: "I want to tell you what happened with Daaaavid!"

Me: "I don't want to know!"

Miley: "But you said you wanted me to call you when I was done with him..."

Me: "Fine, go..."

Miley tells me everything that went on and I wasn't interested until it got down to the nitty gritty. For some reason, which made no sense what-so-ever, my heart had a conversion. I was completely at ease with myself. I began not to care that I hurt David. And for an even stranger complete change of heart, I was actually enjoying what she was saying to me. But when she finished, I got angry.

Me: "That's it?"

Miley: "Yeah, what did you think? You didn't tell me this guy had such strong morals and love for this girl that he would do anything. I thought he was going to be easier like other guys and I could seduce him like that. Dude, David's in love."

Me: "I thought you went all the way with him!"

Miley: "Uh, no! David's in love with this Virginia girl! He actually mentioned something about loving her! He didn't want to hurt their possible relationship."

Me: "Well now it makes sense why she didn't call me back and beg for me to come back to her!"

Miley: "What? She didn't?"

Me: "Yeah, why?"

Miley: "Because...I thought that grabbing him would be the tip of the ice berg for her. I thought she would break it off right then and there. Guess we'll have to try again."

Me: "What? AGAIN?"

Miley: "Yeah, why not?! I think I love David..."

Me: "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?!"

Miley: "I can't believe I'm falling for this guy, but I am!"

I get completely and utterly distressed at her words and cry over the phone. She doesn't care much though.

Me: "HOW?"

* To Be Continued *

"Long Awaited" Chapter 31: "The Tyrannical Two, Part 3"

David's POV:

Miley: "You heard me."

Me: "Yeah, I did, but WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"

Miley: "Justin wants me to...ugh...you'll understand soon enough."

She starts coming closer to me and I back up a little. She grabs both my arms and puts them behind my back. Being very stupid sometimes, I don't fight it off because I don't know what she's going to do at the moment. Then, it finally clicks! She stares into my eyes and I get really scared. Pretty much terrified. She tries to kiss me, but I reach my left arm from behind my back to the front to cover my lips. She isn't getting there.

Miley: "Oh, you wanna play that game?!"

Me: "I don't want to play ANY GAME!"

Miley: "You sound scared, what's the problem?"

Me: "I am scared!"

Miley: "Is this about your girlfriend?"

Me: "How do you know about her?"

Miley: "That's why Justin sent me."

Me: "WHYYYYY?!" I exclaim.

Miley: "I don't know."

She starts rubbing her hands up and down my chest and I don't pay attention because I am too encompassed by thought in why Justin would send me this girl I don't know. Then I look forward and I see her rubbing her hands on my chest. She's about to reach under my shirt. She puts her arm out and pushes me against the wall.

Miley: "Do you understand why I'm here now?"

I gulp and say "I'm starting to..." and begin thinking "does this qualify as rape?"

Miley then turns around and starts to grind on me and I get really uncomfortable, but before I have the time to even stay "get away" she GRABS ME....and it was horrible. Yeah, this could be considered rape...

*PRESENT TIME AGAIN*

David's POV:

Virginia: "Where did she touch you?"

Me: "Where do you think?!"

Virginia: "She didn't!"

Me: "I wished she hadn't!"

Virginia: "Well, what happened after that?"

Me: "Well, she finally pushed it to the limit there and I was through being gentle, I stuck my arm out, and PUSHED her away. I yelled to get out of my room and she wouldn't."

Virginia: "What do you mean should wouldn't?"

Me: "She refused and then I forced her to leave. I called security and they took her away."

Virginia: "Are you sure that's what happened?"

Me: "Yeah! I'm not going to waste my time on some cheap floozy like her!"

Virginia: "Well what happens now?"

Me: "I don't know. I would get a restraining order out on Justin and on Miley."

Virginia: "That seems like a good idea."

Me: "Is there anything else you wanted to tell me? How are you doing?"

Virginia: "Not really, pretty good now that everything is cleared up. Well, I kind of just broke up with Justin for you, but really nothing."

Me: "Well that's good a...w-wait, you did what?"

Virginia: "Yes, I did."

Me: "Are you serious?"

Virginia: "I wouldn't joke like that. Yes. I really do like you a lot. I think I might love you."

Me: "You LOVE me?"

Virginia: "I think so."

Me: "I think I love you too!"

* To Be Continued *....or is it?

"Long Awaited" Chapter 30: "The Tyrannical Two, Part 2"

Virginia's POV:

Me: "What do you mean I wouldn't want to do that?"

Justin: "You said it's about David, right?"

Me: "Yeah, what about him?"

Justin: "Well, I don't know but...I think your boyfriend might have had a little... infidelity."

Me: "WHAT? David would never do that!"

Justin: "I wouldn't be so sure about that, Honey," he says with a toxic amount of venom.

Me: "How would you know?"

Justin: "It was my doing. Well, maybe you can call him and ask him yourself. If he's as good as you say he is, he'll be truthful and tell you what happened."

With that, Justin turns around and begins to walk off, but stops and whispers in my ear what it is. In the blink of an eye, I get angry that I broke up with Justin and take out my cell phone immediately...during school hours and I dial David Archuleta.

David's POV:

I was just watching some television when I heard my cell phone ring. Engulfed in the show, I reluctantly get up and fast walk over to the phone placed on the kitchen counter. "Virginia Presley" reads the caller ID and I pick it up immediately. I knew she was supposed to be in school so my first question was

Me: "Aren't you supposed to be in class now?" I tease her when I pick up the phone.

Virginia: "I am. It's lunch." she's hostile with her words.

Me: "What's the problem, Gin?"

Virginia: "Why don't you tell me?"

I laugh at that because I thought it was a joke, but when I notice it wasn't, I clear my throat and compose myself.

Me: "Was that a question?"

Virginia: "No, it was a declarative statement. Come on David, tell me!"

Me: "About what?" I get a little confused

Virginia: "Let's start with this...have you had any visitors lately?"

Me: "Yeah, just a few."

Virginia: "Any girls?"

Me: "....just one..."

Virginia: "And now we're getting somewhere. What happened?"

Me: "What do you mean?"

Virginia: "When she was there!!!!"

Me: "Oh, well...Yesterday, I was about to get in the shower and before I even got undressed, I saw something on my bed as I passed it to go in the bathroom. I walked outside and..."

* FLASHBACK *

David's POV:

I was just going to get in the shower and as I passed the mirror that was in front of my bed to get to the bathroom, I saw something on my bed. At first, I didn't know what it was. I walked outside into the living space and saw a girl, wearing fishnet stockings, a tight pink tank top and a leather skit, sitting on my bed. I get nervous and wondered why she's here so the obvious question I ask is...

Me: "Who are you?"

Miley: "My name is Miley Cyrus."

Me: "Why are you here?"

Miley: "Justin sent me."

Me: "Justin?...JUSTIN! Oh my GOSH!"

Miley: "Mmm...you are cute."

Me: "Excuse me? How'd you get in here anyway?!"

Miley: "Well, I came here because Justin dropped me off and told me to find David Archuleta. I asked the clerk what room you were in and he told me. I went to the door and a maid was passing by. I told her I was you girlfriend and wanted to surprise you."

Me: "WHAAAA?"

* To Be Continued *

"Long Awaited" Chapter 29: "Pick Me/ The Tyrannical Two, Part 1"

Virginia's POV:

For the next few weeks nothing really was going on. Except that David said he wanted to stay in New York for a while to be around me, I didn't object to it. I thought it was so kind after that song. I should be doing something for him. For some reason, every time I hung out with Justin after the concert, I felt like we had parted or grown apart somehow. I couldn't put my finger on it, but from the first time after I knew it wasn't going to work out. Being patient, I gave it a chance to settle and work, but it didn't. I really didn't know what to do when I finally decided I didn't want to be with him anymore, but I knew who I wanted to be with. I was in love. In love with one person and not so sure about the other. You could guess who was who. The next few weeks went by slow, which was kind of strange because I would've thought I would be happy to have David with me again, but I don't think it was him that made it slow. When I was with Justin all he could talk about was David. "How is he?" "What's he like?" "Do you like him?" Routine questions like that. "Fine." "He's nice and kind. Sort of like you." "Yes, I do." were always my answers. I never said I loved him in front of Justin though. Most of the time he questioned me about David and it made me mad. Very, very often he would ask me "Would you ever leave me for him?" but I never answered the question because I wasn't sure. He was always saying "I'm better than David," but I never payed any attention because I wasn't so sure with him anymore. David rarely did this, however, which was just like him. He never wanted to compare himself to Justin. Compared to David, Justin was very insecure. Although David isn't always so sure about himself, Justin needs to be assured. I pitied him a little. Occasionally and I mean occasionally, like once in a blue moon, would David ask me to go out with him. I always wanted to say yes, but I just couldn't. I wasn't that type of girl and I knew he respected that about me.

1 month after the concert...

I knew Justin and I were on the verge of breaking it off and I was going to do it, this Saturday. I would give it another week because I wanted to make sure I was ready. We were almost completely distant now and it wasn't working out for the life of us. We kept trying and trying, but always failing, never a success and not one in sight. That day at school, (A Monday), Allison told me in the morning she needed to talk to me later. She couldn't tell me right that second because she was going to be late to class as is. I let her go. At lunchtime, she told me something that would change everything.

Allison: "Virginia, okay. There is something I need to tell you."

Me: "Yeah?"

Allison: "Justin told me he was going to break up with you today during your free class..."

Me: "Really?"

She puts on an apologetic face and says "Mmhmm," bites her lip and looks me in the eye.

Me: "He is not breaking up with me. I am going to break up with him."

Allison: "You don't have to."

Me: "Oh, but I'm going to," I sound really furious, but I'm actually relieved.

About 15 minutes later, I find Justin being excused from class and I tell him that we have to talk. It was good he had no idea Allison told me about his idea to break up with me. I take his hand and bring him out into the warm sun and spring air of the outside. I bring him to the stone bench in the center of the garden in our school.

Justin: "Uhh, what's this about?"

Me: "Justin, I don't know how to tell you this, but I don't think we're compatible anymore."

Justin: "What are you saying?"

Me: "Justin, I'm sorry," I take his hand in my hand and take time to feel the nice spring air on me. "I have to break up with you."

Justin immediately starts to look depressed and his head falls onto his shirt. He starts whimpering and then he smiles and looks up.

Justin: "Haha!! Is this about little David Archuleta?"

Me: "I don't see how that's your business, but not fully no. We aren't getting along well much anymore."

Justin: "I don't think you want to do that."

"Long Awaited" Chapter 28: "The Last Song"

Virginia's POV:

I stare up at David on stage for a good, long moment and wait for him to start singing, but he doesn't. He just continues with his adorable rambling for about 5 more minutes. Finally, after what felt like hours, he begins to sing the song. The last song. For me. This must've been why he wanted me to come so badly and why he sent me the free tickets, but I am mad it's been so long. Not that it's been so long since we'd talked, but...that it took him that long to realize he liked me more than a friend and that when he finally accepted it, I was dating somebody else. I mean, he could've at least told me...but then I thought about what I thought over again and decided it would ruin the surprise and that it might be easier for him to tell me through song because I had told him that he speaks to his fans through the songs he sings.

David: "Okay and this is the song that I just wrote and recorded. I hope you all like it and please, if you have any recording devices on you, I would appreciate it if you put them away. Thank you."

I knew that some people were not going to put their things away, and I could watch it on the internet later. I hear a bunch of clicking, buttons being pressed, and rustling from behind me to put stuff away, but all I could do was stand there and stare like an idiot. I don't know if he knew that I knew. He probably didn't. But I still stared. I waited for him to sing.

He Began:

As he started to sing, I grasped and held onto every word for dear life to decipher what the song meant and what he wanted to express to me. Every word described me and when it changed a little bit to the second verse, right after the first, it began like it was how he felt. It pained me and I knew he was in agony when he closed his eyes and sang the chorus. I nearly cried when I thought I saw a tear, but I was wrong. He was smiling. He was happy that I was there. He wanted me to hear this. It was honestly like we were the only two in the room. A lot of people have said that before, but I never actually experienced what it felt like to be one with someone. I was never connected to someone more in my life. This was different than any other relationship or friendship I have had.

David's POV:

I keep looking over to where Virginia is sitting when I'm up on stage singing. Standing at the mic, I look over to her standing there next to her friend. Her eyes are closed for the most part and I know she's listening to the song. I smile a little when singing, but quickly compose myself. I could feel heads turning toward her so I tried to deviate my eyes away. I continue singing for a good portion. This song felt really long compared to most of the others. I thought it could have been from that it was the first time performing it or that it was supposed to be a long moment when she finally found out. When I say...

Me: "Why couldn't I realize it before and say that I want to love you forever and more?"

As I let the words flow out of my mouth like a breath, my eyes immediately fall to Virginia. She still has her eyes closed, so I decide to take my time to scan over her body language to see how she feels about the song. She really liked it. That made me really excited. Then she opens her eyes and looks up at me. We stare at each other while I'm still singing. Our eyes melt together and I can tell she knows what I wanted to tell her through the song.

Before I knew it...I was moving away from the mic stand in the middle of the stage to come over to the right hand side, where she was. I get off the side of the stage and walk up to her. I stick out my hand and she takes it without taking her eyes off of me. I lead her back to the stage and escort her up the stairs on the side. I take her up on stage to sing the song to her. Hey, it was for her...why not? Our minds were completely at one. As I finish the song to her, I didn't take my eyes off of her for a second. I see people in the audience staring like "WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" I could tell some girls were getting jealous, but I honestly didn't care. I heard "oooohs" and "awwwwws" from every which way in the audience. After I sing the last line, I lean into give her a hug. She hugs me so tightly back. We don't let go for a long while.

But that was only in my head. Or was it?

"Long Awaited" Chapter 27: "He Doesn't!"

Virginia's POV:

Two days after meeting up with David, I remembered the concert he wanted me to go to. It was on a Monday. I was reluctant because it was a school night, but I really didn't care after I thought of it. I really have to learn to stand up for myself, but when I see him...I just can't. Something about him makes me want to welcome him in again. It took me a long time to realize why that was and it was something I was denying in the relationship I had with Justin, I did still love David, but I wasn't sure if it was the same kind of love. But on the night of Monday, April 21st...I was about to find out the answer to the question I had been asking myself after we reconnected.

At the concert:

David's POV:

I had just finished singing a bunch of the new songs from this album, that the tour was for. I was really liking this crowd. I gave Virginia front row seats and she took her friend, Jennifer, along. She told me that she was also a big fan. I was getting ready to perform the last song of the night, which was also the song I wrote for Virginia, telling her I loved her. "I wonder if she'll know the next song is about her...I think she will." It was the encore song so I went backstage for a few minutes to get a drink of water and talk to Ray, my manager.

Me: "Ray, you know the next song?"

Ray: "Yeah, for that girl you love, right?"

Me: "How'd you know?"

Ray: "Your dad told me!"

Me: "Blabber mouth" and I turn my face away to hide my blushing.

Ray: "What's that on your face?!"

Me: "Nothing," I laugh and blush even harder.

Ray: "Awww!" He begins to tease me.

Me: "Shut up," I exclaim teasingly, "so about the song...she's in the audience..."

Ray: "Yeah, I know..."

Me: "Gosh, does my dad tell you EVERYTHING?!"

Ray: "Pretty much."

Me: "Well, that's comforting. Anyway, do you think she'll know it's about her?"

Ray: "I don't know, David. Only you could know that answer...now go out on stage and sing your heart out. Last tour stop."

Me: "What does that mean?!"

Ray: "Just go!"

I walk back out on stage with a smirk on my face and say hello to the crowd again. And a raging applause erupts. I laugh and say..."okay guys, this is the first time I'm performing this song and no one knows about it yet..." and the crowd goes wild with eagerness! "Calm down, I wrote this song for someone and I hope they know it's for them." My eyes fall to Virginia, standing in the front, talking to her friend.

Virginia's POV:

Me: "Jen, how are you holding up?"

Jen: "Not so good, Gin!"

Me: "Just breathe!!"

David: "Calm down, I wrote this song for someone and I hope they know it's for them." Jen is staring up at the stage and sees David's eyes redirect toward me.

Jen: "Gin, did you hear what he just said?"

Me: "Uh, yeah...so?"

Jen: "He looked right at you when he said that."

Me: "NO! No way! It can't be!"

Jen: "It is..."

Me: "He doesn't..." I say as my mouth drops open...

Jen: "He might!"
