Theirs

There is a knock on the door after about 30 minutes of me laying there just letting the tears fall completely shaking my pillow. I had just proven once again I am just the same crybaby I have always been.

"What?" I asked sniffling.

"Al, can we please come in?" Mason voice says softly.

"Please Al." Adrian voice follows quickly behind.

"Alaska." Allies stern voice comes through next when I fail to respond.

"No." I say rolling over and I hear bickering behind the door.

"Can you guys just leave?" Allies says in an annoyed voice.

"US?!" Adrian says incredulously "you US to leave?"

"Yes! She says loudly.

"You really think that'll help?" He says in the same tone. "Are you actually dumb?

"Stop!" I scream getting up and storming to the door and slinging it open. "Just stop." I say quieter. "You can both leave if you can't be respectful."

Mason stands quietly. "Can I have a minute alone with Al?" He asks breaking the stand off.

They nod and he motions for me to go back in and he walks in behind me. He shuts the door and start taking off his suti jacket. I watch him no sure what he is doing until he silently puts his arms out inviting me infor a hug and hesitantly take walk closer scared it won't feel the same.

He slowly wraps his arms around me and I wrap my arms around him and then he squeezes just enough and it push a sob out of me and grip his shirt.

"Last time I saw you I went home with a wet shirt, were picking up right where we left." He says in a teasing tone. The tone I had grown up with.

I giggle thiugh the tears. "I am sorry." I mumble but don't try to move away scared that if I leave his arms I won't he able to go back.

"Don't be Al, you can always cry on me, anytime." I kisses the top of my head, that's new but I liked it. "We missed you so so much. When we got the letter from your mom saying she wouldn't allow contact, we thought we'd never see you again "

"I want to call you guys so bad." I sob again.

"We know, we know, and I am sure you think we blame you but we don't." He pulls me away too look me in the eyes. "I promise you. We didn't know where to look for you or tryst me we would have."

I nob and sob again and he just holds me to him.

The door cracks open and the other two walk in Adrian joins the hug and Allie stays back letting me take it in cause she knows I don't like hugs and if I am letting them hug me I must need it.

"We are sorry." Adrian mumbles.

"It's okay, I just want you guys to get along." I tell him and I feel him nod.

The three of us break apart and Allie just looks at me clearly confused.

"Maybe we can go to the living room and sort everything?" Mason suggests.

We agree and the four of us make our way to the livingroom.

"Allie." Mason says as we all sit down in the  living room. "How do you know about me?"

I start to look around the room again noticing how spotless it is, someone has definitely cleaned in this house recently.

"I have always wanted to get some of my work published." She shrugs. "I keep up with all the major publishers."
