"She Is Mine."

9

{ The following chapters will be based on Allison's POV unless stated. }

"Hey bud," Jess drapes her arm around me like a loose curtain and smiles brightly, revealing her pearly white teeth I was always jealous of.

"Hi Jessica." I reply meekly, and give her a faint smile. "Why the down face? Something happened?" She asked, concerned about my wellbeing. "Nothing, just thinking. Thanks for asking, J." I smile gratefully at her and slowly take her arm off my shoulder. "Sorry, I feel uncomfortable." She nods, understanding and walks beside me.

My phone makes a soft ring, as I look at the caller ID.

zackkk101 is calling you.

Accept or Decline?

Okay, what even. Ew. He even has the nerves to call me, damn boy. Jessica looks at my phone over my shoulder and in a matter of seconds, she snatches the phone away from me and answers the call.

I hear a soft 'hey' at the end of the line, but Zackary was cut off by his own elder sister,

"Yo bro! I got a piece of advice for you! Keep a respectable distance from Allison, and know when to sound and feel stalkerish when needed! Then only maybe she'll like you! You damn idiot!" She yells into the receiver, and hangs up the phone.

I smile at Jessica and nod as a sign of me thanking her. The same words that were said by Jess replayed in my mind over and over again like a broken record.

Then only maybe she'll like you.

Was what Jess said, true? Was I ready to move on from the past?

...

I stare at the past texts and sigh, oh how I miss those days. My trance is awaken by a short message from Jess.

jessluv : hey al, wanna drop by my house xx

allisonnn : sure j. i'll be there in 5 ;)

allisonnn logged off.

I slip on my jacket and teal converse before walking to Jessica's house. On the way there, I stop dead in my tracks. Wait, I'm going to J's house. And by going to J's house, that means Zackary would be there. And if Zackary was there, maybe Edward was there.

Great, turns out I'm dying early today.

...

"Hey!" Jess runs over and pulls me into a tight bear hug. "We literally met just now, J. What's the exciting fuss?" I ask, giggling. "Meh." I laugh and follow Jessica in her house, looking at all the family pictures hanging on walls. Her mother and father looks so caring and lovely, it's an unfortunate accident they had to pass away terribly.

"Why are you so awestruck at my family pictures? I'm sure you have them as well." I sigh and nod, "I do. But we barely hang them or display them. My family doesn't seem like a family anymore."

She pats my back in effort to console me. "I'm family, right?" I nod and smile, just as Zackary walks down the stairs, shocked at seeing me. "Allison! What are you doing here?" He asks, taking interest into my presence at his house.

"Uh, wait up pretty boy. Allison's mine today, um live with it." Jessica sasses, snapping her finger in a Z formation. "Gee, fine. Gosh. But Allison, if you ever need anything, I'll be in my humble abode which is sadly my room." ( XD )

"I don't really like your brother.."

"No one does, trust me."

I laugh. But, something about Zackary reminds me of him. Maybe it's Zack's cheerful attitude that could make possibly anyone smile no matter the situation, just like him. He's gone from me and I keep telling myself it's over and I don't like him anymore,

But why do I get this feeling of pain and misery whenever his name is mentioned?
