When I Turned Around

Finally!

A week had passed. Alli was finally home.

"I'm so glad you're home Alli!" I squealed

"Me too!" Alli exclaimed.

"All," Began Alli's mum. "You've been really quiet, I mean I know you just got out of hospital, and with everything that's been going on. But when you woke up you were talking and now you're not."

"Is it coz they caught Zest?" I asked.

Alli went quiet.

"All!" I exclaimed, hugging her.

She started to cry.

"I'm just terrified that if he gets out, he's going to want revenge and get me again!" She stammered.

"He is going away for a long time!" I exclaimed. Probably forever. "And we will not let him hurt you!"

"I love you!" She whispered to me.

"I love you too!" I whispered back.

She wiped her tears.

"So whats been going on since I left?" She asked. "I'm pretty sure I had a birthday at some point!"

I laughed.

"Um no, no you didn't!" I said.

She looked confused.

"You don't know what the date is today do you?" I asked.

She laughed.

"You're kidding me right?" She asked.

"Happy birthday Alli!" I shrieked.

"Oh god you're kidding me!" She said

I laughed.

"So do you still like my brother?" She asked me.

"How did this turn from you having a birthday to me liking you brother?" I asked.

"Ha, so you do like him!" Alli said.

"Okay yes!" I admitted. "But he probably doesn't like me so can we just drop it please!?

"No! We can't"

Why!?"

"Because he never shuts up about you!"

"Really." I asked.

"Tas, you no how close Jayce and I are. He tells me everything! Even if it's that he likes my best friend."

I started to blush then I tried to change the subject.

"What do you want to do for your birthday?" I asked.

"Don't change the subject Tas!" She said to me.

Alli was the only one who called me Tas. She sometimes called me Sara, but most of the time, she called me Tas.

"Alli! What do you want to do for your birthday?" I asked.

She thought for a second.

"I want to have a massive party! I know I just got out of hospital, but I want to have fun!" She said.

________________________________________________________________________________

I was at Alli's house, at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for her to get ready.

I was wearing my favourite strapless dress. The top was hot pink and the bottom was black.

My long, dark blonde hair was curled then tied into a side pony tail.

"Well aren't we a picture!" Said a voice from behind me.

I turned around. It was Jayce.

"I'll take that as a compliment!" I said.

"So you should!" Said Jayce. "You're beautiful."

I blushed.

He tucked a stranded piece of hair behind my ear then he leaned in to kiss me. But his lips got about two centimeters away from mine when someone purposely cleared their throat.

"I don't mean to interrupt!" Said the voice.

We both looked up. It was Alli.

"Then why did you?" Asked Jayce.

"Well sorry for coming down for my own party!" Said Alli sarcastically.

"So you should be!" Said Jayce.

"Jay, can you go three seconds without hitting on my best friend?"

"I'm gonna go get the car ready." Said Jayce, avoiding the question.

"Girl, you've got it bad!" Said Alli as Jayce left the room.

"I do not!" I defended my self.

"Nice dress." She said.

"You too." I said.

We both laughed. You see Alli's dress was almost the exact same as mine, except it was purple at the top instead of hot pink.

We were both wearing our silver sparkly high heels and our gold bracelets.

"Come on, let's go." Said Alli.
