Fire and ice Warren Peace LS (Book 1)

Warren and Layla?

Allison's POV the next day

I groaned myself awake, I could tell it was morning. I felt stiff, but I was able to use my limbs. But I did feel something on my forehead. I reached up and grabbed it. It was a post it note. I smiled when I saw the familiar chicken scratch hand writing. "Goodmorning or afternoon sleepy head. I hope your feeling better today. I hope your stubborn self will stay home and rest for the time being. You need to relax and just rest for the day, I'll throw pebbles at your window later if I have time. 😂 But seriously, get some rest. See you later Alligator 😉", I read out loud. I giggled at the nickname. I shook my head. But I didn't feel like getting up, so I just laid back and watched some tv. Until I got sleepy and fell back asleep.

A few hours later. A couple bowls of soup and hot cocoa later.

It was now later and dark time. I knew Warren wouldn't be able to come and visit. Knowing he had his job. So I was going to be the one to go visit him. I grabbed a jacket, my shoes and threw them both on. I knew both mom and dad were both busy down stairs. But I knew they would stop me if I tried leaving the house by going out the door. So I was going to leave by going out the window. I grabbed what I needed and floated right out my window. I didn't feel like walking, so I had to make myself a close profile. I stayed away from any human being without powers. I hummed a familiar song that was stuck in my head. Hmm, catchy. I then saw the familiar street. There it is, The Paper Lantern. I planted my feet against the sidewalk. Knowing full well I couldn't just go floating inside the restaurant. I smiled at the hostess from last time. She smiled at me and motioned for me to follow her. I followed right behind her. I had a smile on my lips the whole time. But then I realized that my usual table was full. My eyes then widened at who it was.

Warren and Layla? We're they here, on a date? I gulped. It couldn't be right? Maybe he's just giving her some company, but I thought Will was supposed to be here with Layla, since she told me that they were supposed to be here together, or was that a cover story for them? I gulped again and tried to keep the tears from falling from my eyes when I saw him do the same damn trick he did with me, the candle and fire trick. I scuffed. All I could feel was anger and sadness. I saw them laughing together. I could feel a piece of my heart crack inside of my chest. All that time of us flirting together, I thought that meant something. Why go through it all, to lead up to this?

Maybe we're not meant to be together. Maybe I just fell in love at the wrong time and the wrong person. Maybe they do deserve each other. I sighed and looked at the waitress. "You know what, I don't feel like it today, I'm sorry", I said giving her a fake smile. She gave me a look that said she knew what had happened, but how could she? She didn't even know me. She couldn't possibly know what had happened. She didn't know my heart just broke into two pieces. I gave her one last smile before turning around and making my towards the exit. And when I did exit, I finally let the tears roll down my cheeks. Knowing the boy I loved, didn't love me back. How shitty is that?

Third person POV

The waitress that was escorting Allison to her table, watched as the girl left. She knew that look, it was the face of heartbreak. She sighed and made her way over to warrens and Layla's table. The two stopped in mid conversation to look up at her. She didn't look impressed. "Is this what you do to all the girls when I'm not working little brother, make them feel special before moving onto the next girl?", she asked her brother. Yes, she was the older sister of Warren Peace, and she was not going to take shit from him or anyone.

Warren raised a confused eyebrow. "What are you talking about Lana?", he asked his big sister. Lana just shook her head. "I mean, the girl that just walked in and saw you two, seemed heartbroken as it gets, and you didn't answer my last question", she said not impressed. She crossed her arms over her chest. Warren tilted his head to the side. "Who?", he asked in confusion. Lana sighed. "A girl this tall, has pale baby blue eyes, brown hair. Oh and she was here the last time, I think you called her Allie-Cat and paid for her food if I'm not mistaken", she said gruffly. Warrens and Layla's eyes widened. They both looked at each other. "Allison", they both said. Warren got up in a rush. "Shit!", he muttered loudly under his breath. "How long has it been until she left?", he asked her. Lana just shrugged. "A couple minutes or so, I'm not sure", she said.

Warren sighed. "You love her, don't you", Layla said to him. He turned to look at him. "She's my best friend and yes, I do", he said in a rush before sprinting out of the restaurant to look for her. He felt the cold wind nip at his exposed skin. Since he was only wearing a tank top. But he didn't care, he needed to find her. He needed to explain to her that it was all a misunderstanding. But it was dark and he couldn't see a thing. But he didn't give up. Never, never on her. "Allison! Allison! Allison!", he yelled her name as he walked around the whole block to look for her. But alas, unless she was hiding from him or she was already at home. It was useless. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. Damn it. He fucked up badly. Really bad. He would have to explain to her tomorrow. If she even let him. He closed his eyes and went back inside. Feeling like an asshole.

Allison's POV

The minute I walked into the house, I saw mom, dad, Will and her. Ew. Sitting on the couch. Looking through old pictures. I scuffed. They all looked up at me. They saw my red blood shot eyes, the dried tears on my cheeks. I sniffled. "Ally, sweetheart, what happened?", dad asked me as he got up from the couch. He went to touch me, but I didn't let him. I was feeling so cold. My skin felt like an ice cube and I was afraid I would burn dad with how cold I felt. "Why don't you ask will, aye? Since he thinks he's so high and mighty with his new found powers. The popular guy", I muttered angrily. Will looked offended. Good! Be offended you little shit! "You knew how much he meant to me, but now that's all gone. I thought he was the one, but I guess not. Once you got popular, you abandoned us, you abandoned me, you abandoned the others, your friends, your real friends. And now I'm going to die alone, thanks to you little brother. I'm not being over dramatic, and if you think so, well, you can kiss my ass", I spat at him.

"Allison Rosalyn Stronghold!", I heard both my parents yell my name. I turned to both of them. "You apologize to both Will and Gwen this instance", mom told me sternly. I just laughed bitterly. "It's always will this and will that. You always babied him because he didn't have his powers, but now he has his powers and you still baby him. You've always taken his side. You always have. What about me, your daughter. You always loved him more then me. And I hate it. I hate it, and I hate you", I said angrily. I didn't mean what I said. But the pain I felt in my heart hurt too much.

Both my parents gasped as they heard me. Mom looked about to cry and dad looked angrier then ever. "You go to your room young lady, right now!", he yelled. I sniffled and wiped my tears. "Fine! But I thought you understood me better then anyone ever did, I know you were ecstatic when Will got his powers, you even took him to the so called man cave. But when I got my powers, it seemed like I had to be alone and locked away because you were afraid I would hurt someone, you locked me away, until I controlled my powers. But when Will got his powers, it's oh yay! He got his powers! Let's celebrate! You always chose his side over mine. And I hate it! I tried to ignore it for so long, but now I can't. I have to say something, or I'll just do something I regret and dishonor the family name, so good day and goodnight mother and father!", I yelled at them as tears rolled down my cheeks.

Every word was true. The moment I got my powers, they locked me away until I could control them. The locked the door and threw away the key and I thought they were only watching out for me. Or it was tough love. But I knew the truth, they were scared of what I could do. They were scared of me because of my powers. I scuffed and wiped my nose. I glared at them. I then preceded in running up the stairs. I hated them, I hated my life. I just want it all to stop. I want it all to stop damn it!

What I didn't see was that a few strands of hair were turning white.
