A door away

Chapter 9: friendship

Lorrie's POV

Me and Mina have both flirted with Liam. But none of us has gone as far as to kiss him. Ally knew we liked Liam. Actually we were all aware each of us liked Liam. So why did she kiss him? The logical answer is that she wasn't thinking straight at that moment. I don't know what happend but there were police cars everywhere. I hope she is alright. Maybe we should have let her explain what was going on before acting like some adult toddlers and leaving. And I feel guilty for that. And so is Mina. On the ride back, she had an emotionless expression. Looking at only one thing the whole time. And when I tried to say something she quickly shushed me. That's just the way she is. Whenever she is deep in her thoughts she doesn't want anyone speaking to her.

However I couldn't just go home and pretend like nothing happend. I had to make sure Ally was okay. You could say I let my intrusive thoughts win. And that is exactly what happend. I spinned the car around and began driving to Nancy's.

-"What are you doing?" - Mina asked. She finally snapped out of it.

-"Are you not atleast a bit worried about Ally? Did you not see the police cars?" - I said. I sounded really angry. And I was. Mina was just as guilty as I was and I guess it was easier to get mad at her then myself for the same mistake. You might judge me but it's common human ego.

When we got there Ally and Liam were gone but the policemen were still there. One of them was inside the café, talking to the waitress, most likely asking questions. Other two were looking at the tiny pile of blood that was one the ground. Wait. What?...blood? I don't wanna even think about it. Finally my eyes came across the last policeman that was standing by the car, talking to someone on the phone. Probably the sheriff. I went up to him alongside Mina and politely asked:

-"Hi, sorry to bother you, but what happend here?"

He was still talking on the phone, but when he heard us, he hung up and said:

-" I'm not allowed to give information regarding the incident."

-"We might know somebody involved. However we are not on speaking terms currently. Does there happen to be a girl named Allison Bailey involved?"- Mina added. She might have just saved the day.

He starred at us for a little while and then he made a face, like he just remembered something.

-"Ooh. You were the ladies that left shortly after arriving. Are you guys friends with Allison?"

-"Yes"- i said

-"She was attacked by a man that according to her, followed her from the bus station to here. Thankfully a young guy knocked him out. I think his name was uh- Leon?"

Liam. So Liam saved her. That explains partly why Ally kissed him. I mean even if not I have nothing to blame her about. I feel so bad now. First an allergic reaction and now this.

-"Thank you for your time, sir."- I said, grabbed Mina by the arm and together we got in the car.

-"Ow, what was that about!"- Mina screamed.

-" We have to apologize to Ally."- I implied.

-"Yeah I know."- She said and looked down. This meant she was either sad or guilty. Maybe both in this case.

I realized how angry and harsh I acted. Mina hadn't done anything. Atleast not to me.

-"I'm sorry...I....uh- look. We should not have let Ally believe it was that big of a deal. But we can still fix things."

We hugged and then went straight to Ally's house. When we rang the doorbell, her mother opened the door. She is really kind and smiley.

-"Hi girls! Ally is not feeling the best right now. She has gone through quite a lot in the past couple of days. Is there something you would like me to tell her though?"
