Innocent

Chapter Seventeen

Allison

"Ciao farfalla! How was your first official day of being a fire fighter?" Carina asked as I walked through the door.
"Hey Mom. It was good. I rescued a girl today." I grabbed a water out of the fridge.
"Oh my God! I'm so proud of you." She leaned over and kissed the top of my head.
"Thanks Mom. Can I help with dinner?"
"We're going out to eat tonight to celebrate your first day."

I nodded, and walked over to the couch.
"You okay farfalla? I thought you'd be more excited after your first day."
"I am excited. It's just... the girl I rescued today." I sighed.
"Was she okay?"
"Oh yeah she was fine. It's just... it was Page."
"Page? As in your ex girlfriend Page?"
"Yeah. It was just kinda weird seeing her. I haven't seen her since she broke up with me." I leaned back into the couch.
"Bambina, you are a very beautiful, kind, sweet, amazing woman. And if she didn't see that two years ago, she's blind."
"Thanks Mom. It was just weird." I sighed.
"Maybe you need to go on a date. What happened to that one girl?"
"One night stand." I sighed.

"Okay? Call her again. Make it a two night stand. Only if it was good." She sipped her coffee and eyed me.
"Oh it was good." I said with a laugh.
"Then call her. Ask her on a real date if you're interested in her like that."
"Maybe. I don't believe in monogamy though." I said with a shrug.
"God, you are so like your sister." Carina said with a laugh.

We heard the front door unlock, and Maya walked in.
"What are my two girls laughing at?" Maya asked.
"Your sister is too much like you." Carina said as she got up and gave her a kiss.
"I told her I don't believe in monogamy." I told Maya.

"Ah. I said that too. Until I met a certain sexy Italian." Maya wrapped her arms around Carina.
"Ugh you two are so sickening." I pretended to gag.
"Oh shut up. Get ready kid, we're going out to eat."

*The next day at work*

"Alright team. Today we're having a work out day. No calls unless it's a five alarm. Go get changed and meet me back here." Maya said.
"You wanna pair up today?" Andy asked as we walked out of the garage.

"Hey Allison."
I turned and saw Page standing by the front desk.
"Yeah Tia. I'll be right up to change." I walked over to Page.
"What do you want Page?" I crossed my arms over my chest.
"I see you finally got your dream job." She said.
"Yeah. What do you want?"
"When I saw you yesterday all the feelings came back. Everything. I didn't expect to see you there. I thought I was going to die and-"

"I was just doing my job Page. I don't have feelings for you, and I haven't since you broke my heart. You left me, remember? Not the other way around. And you want to come running back two years later? I saved your freaking life when I was sixteen. Sixteen! What other sixteen year old do you see running into burning buildings to save their girlfriend!"

"Bishop. You need to go upstairs and get changed." Maya said as she stood in the doorway of the garage.
"Yes Captain." I turned and walked upstairs.

I quickly ran into the locker room, and changed into my clothes.
"You okay mija?" Andy asked.
"Yep. Fucking great." I slammed the locker door and ran back downstairs.

*After work*

"Bye Maya, I'll see you at home!" I yelled back as I walked out the front of the station.
"Allison." Page stood up from the bench outside.
"Have you been waiting here all day just to ambush me?" I asked as I walked to my car.
"I wanted to apologize for what I did to you. I'm so sorry, I love you Allison!" She grabbed my arm and made me face her.

"You didn't love me! You just didn't want to be alone. Or maybe, maybe I was good for your ego. Or, or maybe I made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn't love me, because you don't fucking destroy the person that you love!" I pulled my arm out of her grip and got in my car, and drove away.

Maya

"Page." I said as I walked up.
"Maya." She said quietly.
"Don't come back to my station again. Do you understand? You will not be effecting my sisters job. The job she has worked so hard for. Her dream job. I liked you. I really did. Until you pulled that shit on her after she risked her life to save yours."
"Yes ma'am." She walked away from me and got in her car.

I sighed and got in my car and drove home.
"Honey I'm home." I said as I walked in.
"Hi bella. How was work?" Carina walked over and gave me a kiss.
"It was good. Is Allison home yet?"
"No, is she supposed to be?"
"I'll call her real quick." I dialed her number and waited for her to answer.

"Hello?" She answered.
"Hey kid, I thought you were coming home tonight?"
"I was. But I just really needed a distraction so I'm over at Vic and Andy's house, they said I could stay the night. I figured you and Mom could use a night alone too."
"Okay, be safe. Don't do anything I wouldn't do."
"I won't sis. Love you."
"Love you too kid."

Allison

"I need another beer. You two want anything?" I asked as I stood up from my seat on the back deck.
"Slow it down on the drinking mija. You're eighteen, you're really not even supposed to be drinking." Andy said worriedly.
"I'm just gonna have one more. I just need to clear my head." I walked inside and grabbed three beers and brought them outside.

"So, what exactly happened?" Vic asked.
"She came to the station. Who the hell just shows up at their ex's work like that? And after I told her to leave the first time, she waited outside to ambush me. The bitch is crazy." I took a swig of my beer.
"Do you still care about her?"

"Hell no. She broke my heart. Literally, ripped it up with her hands and stomped on it. I never thought I'd have to see her again."

"It'll be fine mija. We'll all make sure she doesn't bother you again." Andy reached over and patted my leg.
"You know what you need? You need to get laid." Vic joked.
"Victoria!" Andy scolded.

"No she's right. I definitely need something to get this off my mind." I grabbed my phone, and started texting one of my hook ups.
"Who are you texting? You're not driving anywhere. Get some tomorrow." Andy said taking my phone.

"Come on! You guys are supposed to be the cool Aunts." I groaned.
