S4 Chapter 36 A trip down memory lane

Allie's POV

I woke up before Elijah. I quickly showered and got ready. I left him a note I'm on my way to take a trip down memory lane.

After I'm ready I head downstairs quietly as I can then make my way out the door to my car. I make the long drive to my hometown to revisit my old house. I pull into the newly paved drive way and park just sitting for a second. 

I get out and stare at my childhood home, I look at the paved driveway that used to be gravel. I smile and continue to knock on the door. 

A young girl who looks about 7 or 8 answers the door "Hi, umm.. is an adult home I can speak to?" I ask 

She nods and goes and gets who I'm assuming is her mom? 

"Hi can I help you?" She asks 

"ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam and Eve but I used to live here I grew up here do you think I could look around? I swear I'll leave afterwards" I say 

She smiles "Of course, and If we find anything that belongs to you we will place them in a box for you" She says moving aside so I can enter

"Thank you so much" I say shutting the door lightly 

I walk into the kitchen and touch the counter getting a memory. 

*years ago*

"Mommy! Make me Spiral mac n cheese please!!"

"okay honey!" 

"I love the secret recipe" younger me says smiling 

My mom laughs "Oh your silly, it's just butter, milk and cheese" 

"Well it's very yummy" younger me says smiling 

*End of Kitchen Flashback*

I chuckle to myself then head upstairs to my old bedroom Where I hung my posters of 5 Seconds of Summer, Big time rush, J-14, Tiger Beat, Kendall, Ariana. I laugh touching the newly painted wall that used to be pink which I begged my parents for. I touch another part of the wall that had a hole in it and instantly get another flashback.

*When Allie was 7*

"Ewww get away from me!" 

"Come on just do it just let me touch you" ??

"I SAID NO!" Younger me screams and pushes him into the wall causing a huge hole in the wall 

*End of flashback*

I shake my head and my chest starts beating rapidly, I continue to my closet where my clothes were and huge box of toys were. I smile to myself remembering my friend Arieana and I climbing the top shelf to sit up there and be a bunch of dumb kids. I laugh then head to the old storage room or blue room as we called it. I climb the stairs to the attic and sit down finding a few scrap books of me and my parents, my baby books, and a few note books i used to for writing songs when i was 12 or 13. I smile and grab them looking around a bit more remembering how Arie and I also came up here and got into shit we weren't supposed to. I go back downstairs shutting the door to what's now a guest bedroom. I head down the hallway to what used to be my grandma's room I enter and now it's a workout room I smile and shut the door heading to my parents old bedroom. I look around smiling at the area that used to hold dad's nightstand where he'd have his tea, his chew and his pack of marlboro light 100's. I open the closet and remember that dad used to have his military uniform, flag, book and his bottle of Whiskey which was Jack Daniels. He'd take on shot a night before going to bed. I sigh and close the closet heading to the living room.

"Oh umm?" 

"Allie, and you?" I ask 

"Carly, nice to meet you. We found some things of yours and we found your dad's military book, uniform and flag" She says placing them lightly in a box 

I smile "Thank you so much, I found a few scrap books of my family in the attic" I say placing them in the box

"That's fine hun, but I think that's everything of yours" She says smiling 

I pick up the box "Thank you for everything" I say smiling 

"Oh wait, we found these old notebooks as well" She says placing them in the box

"Thank you again for letting me do this" I say smiling 

"it was no problem, bye!" She beams as I exit the house. I place the box in the back seat of my car shutting the door taking one last look at my childhood home. I smile then get in my car and drive home.

*home*

Once I arrive I take the box out and bring it in. By this point Kelly is up so is Elijah 

"Hey are you okay?" Kelly asks 

"I went to my childhood home the new owners found somethings of mine and found dad's military uniform, book and flag" I say placing them on the coffee table

"At least now you have some of his things" Kelly says smiling 

"Yeah, I'm gonna keep them in this box until Elijah and I decide to get settled" I say placing them back in the box then bringing it upstairs. I place the box down lightly looking through and old scrap book with pictures of dad. I lightly place my finger on the picture and smile as a tears fall down my face. Elijah seats next to me on the bed.

"Your dad was a military vet?" He asks 

"yeah, and I was and still am so proud of him" I say smiling 

Elijah smiles "He'd be proud of his angel"

I smile "I hope so, He was my everything" I say closing the book putting it in the box and laying my head on Elijah's lap. He smiles laying back and running his fingers through my hair until I fall asleep.
