Alyssa's pov:
I walked into work by myself today. Jon was already here. I looked up and saw him hugging Ave. My mind thought the worst. That he was cheating on me. I sighed quietly. I keep my cool walking past them. I sat down in the chair next to Elizabeth. I had moved rooms.

Alyssa, you ok?

I nodded not being able to look at her.

Alyssa...

Elizabeth said hugging me from behind. I started sobbing. I also started hyperventilating.

Hey, Alyssa breath ok?

Elizabeth whispered. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

There you go, mama

She said calmly. I looked at her in the mirror.

He was hugging her and my mind went south a-and-

Hey you don't owe me, him, or her an explanation

She told me. I whipped my eyes.

I can't dance with him-

Ask Thomas to put you with someone else ok?

I nodded.

-During Helpless-

I looked at Seth as we started Helpless.

Hey, you ok?

He whispered as we turned.

Yea

I looked over at Elizabeth, she nodded at me.

Bull shit Alyssa I know you

He said.

Jon was hugging Ave and my mind went south and I can't-

I gotcha chica

He whispered. I felt Jon's eyes on me the entire time.

-During Who Lives, Who dies, Who tells your story-

During the finale song. I messed up and somehow ended up with Jon picking me. I quickly moved away from him. He seemed hurt but quickly masked it.

I ignored it. We went into bows and I stood next to Elizabeth and Carleigh. I walked back with Elizabeth. But Jon quickly followed after me. She excused herself so Jon and I could talk.

Babe, what's up with you?

Its nothing

I said taking my hair down.

Babe its clearly, not nothing if you wouldn't even dance with me

Just leave Jon

Babe no I'm not just going to leave you

He said trying to get my attention.

I said leave me alone!

I said a little loudly.

Alyssa tell me why you're acting like this!

Jon, I told you it was nothing so leave it at that!

I looked at him. Trying to cover up how upset I was.

Hey, Alyssa Jeremy just texted me and was wondering if you wanted to come over?
