I choked on my sushi.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered and shouted at the same time. I didn't want to wake up my mom.

"Can I come in?" Henry said. "Please, I'm begging you, it's important."

I sighed. "Just as I was getting over him." I thought.

I let Henry in my room. He climbed on a tree which is right outside my room, I used the same tree to sneak in when I had my job as Girl Danger. How ironic.

He shut the window and turned around.

"I know this is a weird time, but I missed my shift and everything to come and talk to you."

"Hmm" I replied. I stepped down to the other level of my room.

"If you'd just listen to me, Al..... look. I know you didn't do that stuff to Charlotte. I believed her at the time, she's just so.. convincing? If that's how you say it. But when I keep asking her she changes the story or stutters. I know she's lying."

I'd lost it. I'd lost my temper. I didn't care that my mom was sleeping, or that I liked Henry. I finally spoke my feelings.

"So you'd only just realised this now? A week and a half later? Do you know how i've been feeling this past week? I got fired and I haven't told anyone. I have to hide in my backyard so my mom doesn't see me. And you're just saying this now? NOW??? Why did you not say anything if you knew something was wrong. Why? You don't know Henry, you don't know ho-"

"Al please-"

"Don't call me Al, its Alana for your information. I liked you Henry, I really did. And when I needed you the most you stood there and joined in. I hate you. I hate you."

I started to push Henry to the window with tears in my eyes.

"I hate you! I hate you!"

Henry was speechless. He opened the window.

"Okay I'm sorry! If you'd just let me explain Ala-"

"GET OUT!" I screamed.
I pushed henry out the window.

A huge thud was heard.

Silence.

"I'm okay!" Henry whimpered.

I shut the window. I didn't want to speak to him anymore or even see his face.

I'd had enough.
