Tragic Harmony

Chapter thirty Five

I walked into the hotel and went up to the room. I stood outside the door mustering up the courage to walk in. I wasn’t thrilled about having to tell Emma about me attacking a girl…..

I opened the door and saw Emma sitting on the couch with Ryan laughing. She turned to me and gasped.

“Ali! What happened? Oh I KNEW that Jason was bad news! HE did this to you?! That asshole! Give me your phone RIGHT now! I’m going to call him and give him a piece of my mind!”

“Emma no it wasn’t Jason….” I said.

“Then WHO did this to you! Ali you have a black eye and scratches all over! Who did this?”

I sighed. “There was a big group of girls outside the hotel and one of them recognized me. She harassed me about Jason and then….she said some stuff about my mom. So I attacked her and she hit back.”

“You attacked her?” She asked surprise written all over her face.

“Emma I don’t know. When she said that stuff about my mom I had so much anger and I just…I couldn’t hold it in!”

She reached for me and pulled me into a hug. “Ali don’t you DARE listen to anyone! Your mom was an amazing person. I hate to say this but that girl deserved it….”

I smiled. “I thought you would be mad.”

She shook her head. “You shouldn’t go around attacking people….but I think just this once I can accept it.”

I laughed. “Thanks.”

“Ali so what are we going to do know?” Ryan asked walking over to us.

“Hmmmmm…. Why don’t we go out to Toys R us and F.A.O Schwartz? It will be tons of fun!” I said picking him up.

Emma, Ryan and I spent the rest of the day playing on the giant piano and riding the ferris wheel. We bought some toys and got ice cream. It was nice to just spend time with them.

When we got back to the hotel my phone rang. “You can’t go a couple of hours without talking to me?”

“Haha very funny. I just wanted to ask you something.”

“Okay what is it?”

“Do you want to fly back to Cali with me?”

I smiled and bit my lip. “What about everyone else?”

“Well I guess we can squeeze them in….I mean it is OUR private jet.”

I laughed. “I’m not impressed whale penis.”

“You’re in denial panda.”

I laughed. “Can you come pick us all up tomorrow then….I don’t think we should go back to your hotel. I don’t want to cause anymore injuries.”

“Sure I’ll have a limo out front at 6 Am. Don’t be late.”

I sighed. “You’re still not impressing me….”

“Whatever you say.”

I sat back on the couch and remembered earlier today. “Jason, what were you going to tell me earlier?”

“Huh?” He asked confused.

“You know before you kissed me…you said never mind.”

“Oh…its nothing. Later okay?”

“Uhg!”

“We don’t have much patience today do we?”

I laughed. “Not at all.” My phone then beeped. Someone was calling on the other line.

“Hey Jason someone is calling me. I’ll talk to you later.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow.”

“Bye.”

I switched lines. “Hello?”

“Hey Ali…this is Joey. I just wanted to see if you actually gave me your number.”

I laughed. “Hey Joey. I wouldn’t give you a fake number! I’m not that mean.”

“From what I remember you’re not mean at all. You hung out with Lucy right?”

My stomach dropped. “Joey….I umm….I don’t really-“

“Oh I get it sorry. I don’t want to get between any cat fight.”

“No…it’s not that…I just-“

“You know she always seems upset at school. Are you coming back anytime soon? I mean you just disappeared.”

I sighed. “Joey I don’t think I’m ever com-“

“You should have definitely told someone! I mean-“

“JOEY!” I yelled. “My mom died okay!? Enough of this shit!”

I hung up the phone and threw it across the room. To my surprise it was caught by Luke.

“Ali what the hell?!”

I looked up. “Oh God Luke I’m sorry! I wasn’t throwing it at you! I was just throwing it in anger…..”

“Any reason you’re so angry?” H said plopping down next to me.

“Yes….” I sighed.

“Talk to me girl.” Luke said snapping his fingers.

“Don’t ever do that…EVER again.” I said laughing.

He laughed. “Just tell me what’s up.”

I sighed. “Well I saw someone from my old school today….”

“What? You did?”

“Yeah…..We talked a little bit and I don’t know it made me really uncomfortable. He asked for my number so I gave it to him to be nice. I never expected that he would actually call but…he did. He kept asking questions and I just couldn’t take it. Luke I honestly feel like this feeling keeps getting worse. I know I’m mostly happy….but whenever I hear something that reminds me of the past I get SO angry….I just can’t control it. Hence why I have a black eye.”

He grabbed my hand. “And now on top of that Jason asked about my mom all of a sudden. I mean why can’t anyone just understand that I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t want to remember it, I wish I could just forget!”

“Ali, you just got to stay strong. It will get better. We are all here for you.” He pulled me into a hug.

Everyone always said that too…..but it wasn’t getting better.

That night I told Emma about the private jet. “So we are flying on a private jet?” she asked raising an eyebrow.

“Yes.”

“With a famous pop band.”

I smiled. “Yes.”

She shook her head. “Well okay then. I’m impressed.”

I rolled my eyes. “I’m not.”

She laughed. “Your boyfriend is a bit of a show off isn’t he?”

“Yeah… He is.”
