Hey guys, just to help you understand. Derek is the best friend of Alison from Chapter 7: Old friend
-------------
It started when......
~Flashback~ (Alison's P.O.V.)
"Hey, how's life?" Derek said as he approached me.
"Life is life, there's no simpler term." I said as I leaned on the fence.
"Where's your knight in shining armor?" He asked as he leaned on the fence and drank from his drink.
"He couldn't make it today." I say sadly while looking down.
"So that's what you're bummed about." He said as he threw his cup.
"Yeah, pretty much." I say while looking back at him.
"Come on, I know a place that will make you feel better." He said as he just walked away. I followed him and we went in his car.
"Where are we going?" I say as I put on my seatbelt.
"Just wait and see." He says as he starts the engine. He starts driving for 5 minutes and he stops. I look at my left and see though the window that were at a park.
"Why are we at a park?" I ask as I exit the car.
"When we were kids, this used to be our favorite place." He replied while walking around the park.
"Yeah but were no longer kids, were 18 yrs. old." I say.
"So......... We can still act like kids if we want to. Come on, follow me." He said as he extend his hand. He gives me an encouraging smile until I finally give in and take a hold of his hand. We ran around until we saw a playground. We both sat at the swings and started talking about life and everything else.
After 30 minutes, we decided to go back. I feel a lot better than before. This really made me happy and I don't know why. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I accidentally tripped over crack in the sidewalk but luckily, Derek caught me. I was looking into his eyes and got lost in the moment. We suddenly leaned in and our lips touched, there were no sparks and I pulled away immediately. We both stared at each other nervously. I felt someone watching but I just shrugged it off.
We both went inside the car and drove to my house. The drive to my house was silent, you could only hear the engine of the car. When we arrived at my house, before I got out of the car, I wanted to break this tension.
"How about we forget that this ever happened?" I ask.
"Ok and we will not tell anyone about this?" He says.
"Deal" I say.
~End of Flashback~
"Please, at least say something." I look at Edward with glossy eyes. He looks at me and he's about to cry too. He opens his mouth but nothing comes out.
"Why didn't you tell me when I told you to explain?" He asks.
"Because you scared me." I reply.
"How could I scare you?" He asks.
"You were really mad and I thought you would hurt me." I say while playing with my fingers.
"Oh....." He says.
"Wait but why were you drunk?" I ask.
"Because it took away the pain." He replied.
"That's really stupid. Besides, what could cause that?" I say raising my voice.
"Someone but why are you angry at me?" He says standing up.
"Because I still care about you and you are hurting yourself. I just want you to be okay but you're not. You're hurting your own self." I say standing up and shouting.
"Probably because I'm hurting inside too." He shouted.
"WHAT COULD POSSIBLY HURT YOU THAT MUCH?" I shout.
"YOU" He replied. When he said that, I was speechless.
"YOU LEFT ME AND BROKE MY HEART. I COULDNT TAKE THE PAIN ANYMORE BECAUSE THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME, BROKE ME. YOU LEFT ME AND YOU CAUSED ME THE PAIN. You have no idea how painful it is." He whispered the last part. I could tell he was hurt. There were tears falling down his face and also mine.
"I'm gonna go." He said as he climbed out the window. I didn't stop him because I think we both need space.

Edward's P.O.V.
I went on a walk to clear my head. I know what you're thinking, why don't you just forgive Alison yet? Well trust me when I'm telling you that I need some time. I know that Alison was right when she said it's stupid to get drunk but if she understood on how much I love her, she would know my reasons to do it.
I continue walking for about 15 minutes when I bump into a person. I look down to see that she fell down.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't look where I was going." I say as I extend my hand for her to take.
"It's fine, don't worry. I can take a hit." She said as she takes my hand and stands up. I look down to see that she has a bruise on her knee and on her forehead.
"There's a bruise on your forehead and on your knee." I say.
"It's fine, it doesn't hurt." She said but I know she's lying.
"Can you walk then?" I ask while putting my arms over my chest.
"Yeah....." She says as she tries to walk but she keeps limping. I walk up to her and put her arm over my neck and wrap my arm around her waist to help her walk.
"It's fine, I'll walk you to my house." I say as she sighs in defeat. I walk her over to my house to see that my mom left again. I bring her to our couch and leave to get all the med kit in our house. I say down next to her and worked on her ankle first. I added some painkiller on end ankle then massaged it for like 5 minutes. I added some bandages around it.
"Hey, can you sit up?" I ask her,
"Ok, sure." She replies as she sits up.
I add some painkillers on her head and gave her an ice pack.
"Thanks" she said.
"No problem" I replied
"It's weird on how you're helping me so much but I don't even know your name." She says while chuckling.
"Well in that case, my name is Edward and who might the pretty lady be?" I ask.
"I'm Cassidy and you are such a flirt." She says.
"So are you okay now?" I ask.
"Yeah, it feels great. Probably because I had the best doctor in town." She replies.
"Yeah..... Sorry about bumping into you." I apologize.
"It wasn't your fault and even if it was, you fixed it." She said.
"So where do you live?" I ask not being a stalker.
"Around this street like 10 houses away." She replies.
"Cool so I guess we'll see each other around." I say while I help her stand up.
"Yeah......." She says.
"I'll look at the bruise to see if it's okay. Is that okay for you?" I ask.
"Yeah sure." She replies. I take the ice pack from her and look at the bruise. It's starting to fade. I touch her forehead slightly and she flinches. I give her an apologetic look and she just nods. I look closely but then I get distracted by her eyes. I felt lost in them and soon she does the same with mine. I start to lean in and she does too. We were about to kiss but she suddenly leans back.
"I'm sorry, this isn't right. We just met." She says.
"Yeah......." I say awkwardly while scratching the back of my neck.
"So I'll see you around." I say.
"Yeah..... I'll see you around." She says as she goes through the door.
I think that I finally moved on. Probably it's for the best. I think that it's the end of Alison and Edward.
