*Leslie's POV*
"What? What was that? Am I a what? An e-girl?" What is Allison even talking about... I always dress like this, even before I met this amazing girl. "Lee, Are you an e-girl?"
"What the hell Allison? There's a type of style now? Where- because of what I'm wearing I have to be stereotyped? Like what is this world you're living in? Not everything is at it seems. So what if I do dress like this? I'm not an e-girl. I'm not any stereotypical person. I'm me- and if that isn't the reaction you hoped for, well so be it!"
I can't believe I just went off on her like that. Was I too harsh? Nah..she had it coming..right? I cross my arms and just look at her like nothing had happened.
"Well, this was a waste of my time. Call me or come by my place when you're ready to talk like adults- or whenever you're done being stereotypical. Okay, Ally?" Instead of actually waiting for a response from her, I turn around and just leave.
Without a warning, I feel her body pressed up against my back- her arms wrapped around my chest- not letting me go. "Ally? Are you okay back there?" I chuckle out of nervousness. What is she going to say to me?
"Allison, before you say anything, I-" I take a deep breath. "I'm sorry for yelling just a second ago. I stopped taking my- my medication for my bipolar disorder. I'm not wanting a response from you right now, but I am sorry for yelling just out of the blue like that. I haven't had a good sleep in a while. I don't know why that may be, it's just-" I choke on my words. I can't keep it in any longer. I just start crying- she's not even facing me. "I'm a coward, aren't I?"
I break myself loose from her grip and run home without saying anything else.
I am such a coward.
