Tell me you love me.

FORTY-TWO

Allison's pov:
It was an awkward and silent ride. "Allison, we need to talk about this." I ignored her and put my airpods in. I hear her sigh. When we arrived, Demi left for a meeting and I was getting tutored by Heather, my teacher. "Allison?" She said getting me out of my mind. "Huh?" "Do you understand it?" "Um yeah." "Hey, what's wrong?" "Nothing, just tired." "You don't have to do this, if you're not feeling good, okay." "Thanks." I said and closed my books.

I liked Heather, she was not that old and felt like a friend, so I didn't really had that teacher feeling. "Do you want to take a walk or come to my house or something?" "No thanks, I'm just gonna stay here." "Okay well, try to rest a little. I'll see you tomorrow." She said and left. Demi's meeting was done by now, so we started heading home. We arrived and before I could go upstairs, Demi called me. "Ally." "What?" I asked annoyed. "We need to talk about this." "There's nothing to talk about." I said and went upstairs, but she grabbed my hand. "Please, Ally. Talk to me."

"You wouldn't understand anyways." "Well, how about you try to explain." I shook my head, but she led me to the couch anyways. "Look, I'm the last one to judge, okay? I'm here to listen. Don't be scared to tell me. What's bothering you?" She said rubbing my hand. "I don't know. Just everything." "What do you mean?" "You and Lauren aren't together anymore, because of me. I can't sleep, because when I do, I get nightmares and I just feel alone. I have no one." I said trying not to cry. "Allison, what happened between me and Lauren has nothing to do with you. It was already going bad before you and we haven't even decided anything yet. This is not your fault, okay? And you have me and Lauren and so many other people that love you. You're not alone. We're family now." She said and a tear rolled over my cheek. "Then why does it hurts so much?" I sobbed. Demi pulled me in a hug and rubbed my back. "Shh, it's okay. You're gonna be okay." She whispered in my ear.

After what felt like an hour I pulled away and wiped my tears away with my sleeve. "What about those nightmares?" I froze. "Ally." "I don't want to talk about it." She sighs. "Okay, but you need sleep. It's not good to stay awake all night. What about you sleeping with me until we have sort this out?" "Thank you." "No need to thank me." She said smiling and kissing my forehead. "Please promise me you're coming to me first, when you get a feeling you need to hurt yourself." I zoned out. Ofcourse I wasn't going to do that, but she didn't had to know it. "Ally?" "Yeah. Sure."

"I'm free for the rest of the day. Do you want to do anything?" I shook my head. "Okay, well let's just watch movies and be lazy all day." Demi chuckled. While we were watching the movie, Demi started to stroke my hair, while I was in her lap, which made me sleepy. After a couple minutes I fell asleep.
