She watched as the snowflakes fell down from the darken sky, the white flurries falling all round, marking each bare spot on the ground. The city lights sparkled and danced as the snow fell and sprinkled the city in white powder. She stared out, somewhat in a daze, as her thoughts began to travel about the puzzle she threw herself into. It had been months since she asked for a divorce, the day she watched her soon to be ex-husband walk out the door and never return. He had tried to contact her by either calling her or trying to visit, but she had let Alex’s persuasion get the best of her. She’ll never forget the way John looked at her as she threw his keys at him and told him to leave. His face filled with agony and sorrow, his body with depression, as he leaned down to pick up his keys and then walked to the door, before turning around. She gave him a look a look of death as he smiled then turned around and walked out of her life. She bowed her head as she thought about the stupidity of the situation.
“How could I have listened to Alex…John is my husband, he needed me as well I do with him. What have I done?” She whispered as bit her lip, beginning to feel the tears burn her eyes. She stood there cross armed as she wondered if she should try and find him, ignoring the fact that Alex would try and stop her. She took a deep breath and wiped the tears that glistened down her cheeks as she cleared her throat and walked to the closet. She pulled out her long Black coat and slipped it on hurriedly. Alex came down the stairs as he began to wonder where she was going.
“Hey Marlena, Where are you going? There is going to be a storm here any minute now.”
She turned around and looked at him, debating on whether she should tell him the truth or not. Deciding against it, she smiled at him sweetly while placing on her gloves.
“I just need to take a walk, I won’t be long. Please make yourself comfortable, I’ll be back before you know it.”
“Well let me go with you…” Alex smiled as he walked to the closet as well.
“NO…I mean please, I just need to be alone. Thanks for the offer though…I’ll be back.” She smiled as she grabbed her purse and walked out the door, hitting the button for the elevator quickly. She knew he would try and follow her so she decided to take her car, knowing he wouldn’t have a clue where she went if she beat him to the car first. Soon she was in the garage as she raced to her car and quickly started it, pulling the gear in Drive and stepping heavily on the accelerator. The Mercedes zoomed out of the garage as she flew down the wet streets of Salem, making her way to the Salem Inn. She needed to find John, se loved him and no matter what, she was going to be with him. She pulled the car in to valet just in case Alex did try and look for her, he wouldn’t see her car parked on the side. She ran through the lobby as she asked the clerk where Kate Roberts room was. At first they hesitated but she quickly reassured them that she was her friend and it was an emergency. She ran to the elevator and hit the 15th button as the elevator climbed on up, while she leaned against the wall catching her breath. The ding sound snapped her from her thoughts as she raced to the door and knocked on it, hoping with everything John had been there. She continued to knock and after a few minutes, the realization of him not being there or preoccupied ran around her mind, nonstop. Images of him on top of Kate, pumping into her made her sick to her stomach. She placed a hand over her mouth as she took a deep breath, trying to control the nausea. She finally turned around and walked back to the elevator, making her way downstairs. The lobby was packed and loud, as she somberly walked the carpeted floor, weaving her way around all the guests that crowed the room. She stepped outside into the crisp air as she tightened her coat around her and decided to take a walk through the park. She needed to breathe and get away…she just needed to think and with Alex around, she couldn’t possibly do that.
She felt her body tense up from the cold as she walked through the park that hadn’t been lit very well. The only thing that helped her see was the moonlight above, gleaming down on the white snow that covered the path, brightening what would have been a usual dark park. She saw her breath as it danced along the cold air, twirling and floating. The wind blew as her hair began to dash through the freezing air, her cheeks and nose becoming bright red. The pain that slapped her body and face couldn’t even compare to the ache that her heart had, not even close. As she walked down the path, thoughts of John and Kate, invaded her brain, tormenting her endlessly. Her hot tears made their way through her eyes and down her cold cheeks, as she sniffed back her tears. She stopped along a fountain that had been drained, but icicles still hung from where the water used to be. She heard a laugh of a woman coming from the other side of the fountain and couldn’t really see who it was. She heard the laughter stop as she saw a woman and a man kiss before walking away. She watched them carefully, knowing that John and her used to be that way before, regardless of what Alex may say. She heard the sound of sniffs from behind the fountain and curiosity got the best of her. She walked over to the other side and saw a tall dark figure sitting at the edge of the fountain with his head bowed down. She walked a little closer to this person, drawn to them for some odd reason. As she got closer, the noise from her heal snatched the person’s attention as their glance turned towards Marlena.
There she stood in a long black coat, which was quickly being covered by the flurries that fell. Her hair waved and feathered, blew in the wind as the snow fell all around her like a dream. The moonlight bathed her as she stood there, white powder falling all around her, her face flushed from the cold, the most perfect creature God Ever Created. As I stand up from the cold concrete, she watches me closely, realizing who I am. Her hazel eyes sparkle and for a minute, I believe she is actually happy to see me. I bow my head unable to look at her, unable to handle the realization that I have been mistaken by what I thought I was happiness. And suddenly, I feel her slender hand touch me under my chin, encouraging me to look up. Afraid of rejection, I hesitate as I glance up, but then I see her smile, and the love in her eyes.
