3Invisible to you (AmericaXReader)
8/21/2014 (One Night I decied to read some of my old work, what a mistake that was so I decided I would go back and fix some of the horrible grammatical errors, adding a few tweaks here and that I hope you enjoy it!)
Looks like its just another normal night at my house… or at least that's what I thought…
(y/n) sat on her bed, computer resting comfortably in her lap tumblin and reading various fan fictions until out of the corner of her eye she saw that a mysterious figure lurking in her doorway. (y/n) peeked up over her laptop to see who it could be, and to her surprise it is none other than Alfred Jones captain of the football and baseball team. What was most popular guy in school doing in her room! *I must be dreaming* she thought to herself. "Umm can I help you…" he looked at her a little bit dumbfounded "Oh sorry I was headed for the bathroom I guess I miscalculated a bit… have we met before?" *ok this is weird…* "Well not formally but we have gone to school together since preschool…" "Well it is nice to meet you…" "(y/n) the one who kind of lives here, who's room you're standing in... Alistair's sister." he looked at you as if another head has started to sprout from your neck "Alistair has a sister?" (y/n)'s heart sank *Am I really that invisible…* (y/n) closed her eyes and took a deep breath "The bathroom is on the other side of the hallway." he nodded "Thanks… Paisley" you drooped your head "It's… (y/n)" *not that you heard me anyway…*
Alfred's P.O.V.
"Hey Alistair you never told me you had a sister!" Alistair looked up at Alfred "Dude she is my twin sister! We've known each other since we were five years old, how in the hell did you go all these years without realizing this?!" "Well I am the hero I don't have time to know everyone's life story!" *She was kinda cute though why haven't I noticed her before…* "And on top of that she is your brothers best friend!" Alfred bit the inside of his cheek "Mattie and I aren't really that close we are in different circles of friends I rarely see him." "Well that would be because you're ass is always at my place." Alfred grinned "Enough talk it's time for you to get an ass whooping in Call of Duty." "In your dreams sidekick." Alistair replied his voice dripping in sarcasm.
Your P.O.V.
Am I really that invisible.. The guy has been friends with my brother since we were five, and his brother is my best friend! But why would he notice me anyway I mean he's a jock and I'm that socially awkward girl who sits in the back of the classroom never raising her hand, never saying a word.
*Buzz, Buzzz* (y/n) picked up her phone [New Message from: Mattie] "Hey, what's the matter, did my brother say something to you? Do you want to talk about it?" Mattie had this way of cheering you up when you were at your lowest. (y/n) dragged her finger across her phone to unlock it and dialed Mattie's number after a few rings he picked up "Hey (y/n), what's wrong…" (y/n) sighed into the phone. "So I am just sitting in my room minding my own business when all of a sudden your brother walks in, so I asked him what he needed and he said that he was looking for the bathroom which I found a little odd, since he has been to our house a million times, but anyway he then asks who I am." "He didn't..." "oh it gets better Mattie. I then tell him I'm (y/n) Alistair's twin sister, and he gives me a look like I have gone and lost my marbles then goes on to say "Alistair has a sister." I died a little inside when he said that and all I could say after that was the bathroom is across the hall… then he said "Thanks Paisley" there a couple seconds of silence "What a jerk! I knew he could say some pretty intensive things but I mean wow this takes the friggin' cake, Well I am really sorry that my brother was such an asshat to you, I will be sure to talk to him when he gets home." "I'd actually really appreciate it if you didn't say anything, I'd kind of just like this whole thing to blow over." "(y/n), my brother has a huge ego complex and sometimes he needs to be brought back down to reality, but if you don't want me to say anything I will respect your wishes."
The next day in class
"Ok class today we are going to split into groups, and before you get too excited I have already picked your partners." your heart instantly sank *Please not Alfred, Please not Alfred….* "Roderich and Vash" "Arthur and Francis" "Ludwig and Feliciano" (y/n) waited nervously for her name to be called "(y/n) and Alfred" *universe why do you hate me so!?* (y/n) glanced over at Mattie who had gotten partnered with Antonio. He gave you a weary look and mouth the words "It's going to be okay."(y/n) slowly got up from where she was sitting and nervously sat next to Alfred. "Now that everyone is sitting next to their partner I would like you to do the assignment on the board which is due at the end of the hour and will be on the test." Alfred glanced at you and smiled "Penelope, it looks like we are partners?" He said with that famous grin of his. "it's (y/n)…" but Alfred had already turned away and was talking to a couple of his friends. *Well I can't just sit here and be depressed* (y/n) looked up at the white board Today's Assignment turn to page 356 answer questions 1-4 and critical thinking questions 3,6. *Looks like I will be doing this on my own.* luckily history was an easy class for you and you would be able to finish this in no time. "So how is it coming partner?" Alfred said with a nudge of his elbow. (y/n) looked up from her book, his icy blue eyes were staring were inches from hers, (y/n)'s cheeks tinted a pale pink "I-I'm almost done with the first critical thinking question." he beamed that famous grin of his "great job keep up the great work… Peyton." the embarrassment that had once flushed her cheeks now turned to red hot anger. *That is the last straw!* (y/n) slammed her hands on her desk "For the last time my name is (y/n) not Paisley, Penelope or Peyton, (y/n) (Spell your name here)! Ya got that!" Alfred looked at her stunned. (y/n)'s face turned every shade of red as she felt the eyes of everyone in the room on her, she then quickly turned and exited the classroom. *what did I just do….*
Alfred's P.O.V.
Alfred sat at his desk trying to comprehend what just happened. All he could think about was her… and how hurt she looked… *I'm supposed to be the hero! that wasn't hero like at all…* The whole class was in an uproar over what would now be the talk of the school. "Settle down students! Get back to work and Alfred I still expect that assignment." Alfred nodded (y/n)'s words still echoing in his head.
Your P.O.V.
(y/n) sat in the back of her car mascara running down her tear stained and blotchy cheeks *that was the most embarrassing thing I have ever done in my entire life… especially because it was Alfred of all people…* (y/n) hugged her knees and just wished the day was over. Mattie knocked on the window and sat down beside you wrapping his arm around your shoulder. "(y/n), that was the most kick ass thing I have ever seen you do. I wish you could of seen his face when you walked out it looked like you had told him that they stopped serving hamburgers in the cafeteria." (y/n) cracked a weak smile "Thanks for trying to cheer me up Mattie but lets just face it, I'm a nobody to him and that's all I'm ever going to be." "Well after the stunt you pulled today I don't think your going to be as invisible as you think."
At lunch
Lunch became this socially awkward stare down with me, my sandwich and pretty much everyone else in the lunch room. I could feel a million eyes on me, I could hear the whispers, because I was now the talk of the school…
Alistair walked over to (y/n)'s table "(y/n), I heard what happened in history today… are you okay?" (y/n) looked up at her brother no matter many times she said would say she was fine he would see right through it. (y/n) looked down at the orange in her hand "I am just sick of being invisible… that's all." she could feel the words cracking in her throat. "You're not invisible sis, people just have not gotten the opportunity to get to know how awesome you are." (y/n) smiled at him popping a slice of orange into her mouth, but her smile quickly faded when she saw Alfred heading directly for them. *oh great he is coming right this way… I can't face him now!* (y/n) calmly stood up grabbed what was left of her orange and left the lunchroom not giving Alfred a second look.
Alfred's P.O.V.
Alfred quickly scanned the lunchroom *I really hope she is in here…* he quickly spotted Alistair sitting in the far right corner of the lunch room accompanied by (y/n). *Great now here is my chance to talk to her… she has such a warm and inviting smile.* Alfred smiled back at her only for her smile to quickly fade and leave the lunchroom completely *In her eyes I must be the biggest jerk alive…* Alfred continued to walk toward the lunch table and sat down next to a scowling lip and glaring eyes. "I am an asshole I know, but I am going to fix this." Alistair rolled his eyes "My sister doesn't want anything to do with you, and as much trouble as you've caused her I don't want much to do with your either." "Aww come on Alistair don't talk like, what happened to bros from life." Alistair gave me a very annoyed look "And just exactly how are you going to "fix this." Alfred smiled "I'm the hero I always have a plan." "Well If that plan causes my sister anymore pain I will have to kill you." "Your lack of faith in me is quite offensive. I will fix this, you'll see. After all I am the hero!"
Your P.O.V.
So when I think my life couldn't get any worse life comes to drop another bomb shell on me…
There was a knock on (y/n)'s door… but she refused to answer it. "Hey (y/n), if your hungry dinner is ready…" (y/n) wiped the mascara out from underneath her eyes "If he is here then I'm not coming out!" Alistair's head leaned against the door "He's not here…" *not yet anyway…" *Grrrruurgle…* (y/n) looked down at her stomach "Dammit you!" she whispered to herself, got up and opened the door. "So what are we having?" she said tied with a weak smile. "Well since my cooking level of cooking is what is easy can be microwaved I have for you my world famous mac & cheese!" she smiled "My favorite!" he laughed and served her a bowl. *knock knock* (y/n) froze with the spoon in her mouth and stared at Alistair who stood up and walked over to the door. "The hero has arrived!" *What do I do! Sit here and hope he doesn't notice my existence like before or get up and run to my room!* "Alfred now isn't the bes-" But before Alistair could finish Alfred quickly yelled "(y/n)! I really want to talk to you!" *He actually called me by my name!* (y/n) quickly jumped from her seat dropping her spoon back into her soupy Mac & cheese and ran back into her room, locking the door and sliding to the floor hugging her knees. *what could he possibly want…*
Alfred's P.O.V.
Alfred's smile quickly faded as (y/n) ran back into her bedroom. Alistair put his hand on Alfred's shoulder "I told you she didn't want to see you right now, it took forever to coax her out of her room…" Alfred frowned and headed back to his car "Will you tell her I really need to talk to her." Alistair nodded "Sure." *doubt it will do any good though*
At Alfred's Place
Alfred sulked up the steps into his house and slumped on his couch. "What's wrong Alfred." Matthew whispered from the other end of the couch "I'm a jerk." Matthew patted his head "Well I could of told you that, so what happened." Alfred looked up at him "So I went over to (y/n)'s house so I could talk to her and as soon as she saw me she dropped her spoon full of Macaroni and ran back into her room." "Why do you suddenly care so much?" Alfred gave Matthew a confused look "What do you mean why do I care so much?" "Why do you care what (y/n) thinks of you, I mean its not like you noticed her before, what is so different now" Alfred contemplated this for a moment "Well she is my best friends twin sister and your best friend..." "that still does not answer my question." Matthew replied cutting him off. Alfred took a deep breath "You're right, until now I had no idea who she was, but the way she looked at me with those eyes so full of hurt... I just wanted to fix it somehow." Matthew smiled "Alfred it sounds like you like her." Alfred blushed "Yea, even so she refuses to look at me, let alone speak to me. Mattie you're her best friend can you talk to her." Matthew took a deep breath "I am not exactly your biggest fan right now either after all you did upset my best friend, but an apology would be a good place to start." "It's kind of hard to apologize to someone who won't come out of their room..." Alfred quickly stood up "I know just what to do!" "And just what might hat be..." But Alfred was already out the door. *good luck (y/n)*
Your P.O.V.
I used to be invisible… but now everyone knows how I am, well not as the real me as the girl that stood up to the most popular guy in school…This guy drives me crazy! One minute he didn't know who I was and now he won't leave me alone. I know the old me would die to be in my shoes, but honestly I just want to go back to how things used to be when it was Mattie and I against the world.
(y/n) shut her laptop and took a deep breath. She then opens her window and climbed onto the roof. The roof has been her save haven ever since her parents died. If she was ever having a bad day she would just climb up onto the roof and look up at the sky like it had all the answers up in the clouds. *I wish I could just live up here forever…* (y/n) closed her eyes and listen to the birds and the crickets chirp.
Alfred's P.O.V.
Alfred crept around the side of (y/n)'s house so that he was directly under (y/n)'s window. *Great her window is open how am I supposed to get her attention.* and as if it were a sign from God Alfred noticed some small pebbles by the flower beds. *I'll just have to hit the top part of her window* *tink, tink, tink* but no one came to the window. "(y/n) I know you are in there will you just talk to me… or at least listen to what I have to say!"
Your P.O.V.
"(y/n) I know you are in there will you just talk to me or at least listen to what I have to say!" (y/n) jumped *Who is calling for me?* (y/n) slowly crept to the edge of the roof so she could see who it was. *It's Alfred! What does he want!* "I have been doing a lot of thinking about these past couple of days…" *This should be good…* "Up until now I have been walking around with blinders on only caring about me and things that pertained to me, everything else… everyone else they really didn't matter to me unless they were my friends. That was until I walked into your room, where I met a girl who would someday call me out on my shit and leave me with my head spinning. Ever since yelled at me in history and I saw the sadness in your eyes, something inside me changed after that all I could think about was you… at first I thought it was because I felt bad because I was a jerk to my best friends sister, but when you started avoiding me and refusing to even look at me I knew it was something more… that maybe just maybe I might be falling for you…" (y/n)'s face turned every shade of red. *Did he just say what I think he did… Did he just confess his feelings for me?!*
Alfred's P.O.V.
Alfred watched the window that felt like it was frozen in time… *Please just come to your window and talk to me…* "I guess I am not surprised that your not running to your window like were star crossed lovers or something, but I just wanted to say I was sorry.
Your P.O.V.
"You'll never be invisible to me…ever… again." Those words echoed in her head as Alfred started to walk away (y/n) quickly stood up from where she had been hiding "Alfred wait!"
Alfred's P.O.V.
Alfred jerked his head around to see (y/n) standing onto of the roof "(y/n) what are you doing up there! You could get really hurt!" but she was gone… *Where did you go?*
Your P.O.V.
Your quickly hopped down from the roof and walked toward Alfred. *My heart is pounding so hard it feels like it is going to beat out of my chest…* (y/n) rounded the corner to the side of the house where Alfred was and sure enough there he was, with a dumbfounded look on his face. "Uh.. *gulp* Alfred…" he turned toward her; a smile tugging at his cheeks. (y/n)'s cheeks grew hot as she felt his crystal blue eyes on her, (y/n) nervously looked down at her feet she looked up at him his eyes piercing into hers "You've known my brother for the past 14 years now, that's 14 years that you didn't know I existed and you expect me to just swoon at your words and fall head over heels in love with you like you are an night in shining armor? News flash "Hero" I'm not your damsel in distress and I'm sure in your little fantasy world you live in I would have ran over to you face bright red as I told you that I felt the same way but this is the real world that isn't so kind. You're my brothers friend and my best friends brother and that all." Alfred took a step back "I deserved that, and you're right I have had my head in my clouds for far too long. So thank you for bringing back down to earth." Just as (y/n) started to head back to her perch Alfred said "But if you think for one minute that things are going to go back to how they used to be, that I am just going to forget the amazing girl walking away from me you would be sadly mistaken." A smile tugged at her cheeks "I mean I have 14 years to make up for Paisley!" She turned around and he was right behind her his blue eyes inches from hers, his cocky smile tugging and his cheeks "And I intend to make up for every moment, starting right now." his soft lips brushing up against your's his hands slowly molding around the frame of your face. you smiled into his lips wrapping your arms around his neck "Well you're doing a pretty good job." she murmured into his lips.
