Chapter: 20

Allison Hall

"What are you doing here?" His tone was slightly snippy. With my pregnancy hormones, that ticked me off.

"Well... for starters, you sent me a freaking suicide note. What the hell did you expect me to do?" I snapped.

"I didn't think you'd call my mom." That hit a nerve right there, I snapped.

"You know what? You are still a dick! Do you even value your life? Did you even think once about your family? You know that you're the only child. Would you imagine what it'd done to your mother and your father? Huh?" My voice was defiantly louder than I expected it to be.

The room was defiantly silent for a few minutes. He wasn't even looking at me, but I know that he was in deep thought. I heard him sigh then he looked up at me. "I wasn't thinking Allison. I don't know what in the hell I was thinking. All I could think was, everyone's life around me would SO much better without me around to cause anyone anymore pain."

That's defiantly what his letter said. That's the part that hurt me the most. I heaved in a deep breath of fresh air, before blowing it back out. "I know that's what your note said." I had to stop myself before I cried. I ran my hands through my hair and groaned. "Justin, you don't realize what you put me through when I received that letter do you?"

"Alli, I thought you hated me. That's why I sent it to you to apologize for almost killing yours and Nathan's child. I don't know why I did it Allison. I just didn't want to lose you in my life that's all." I walked over closer to him and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I don't hate you Justin. I'll always love you in the brotherly, sisterly way. You're like a second brother to me. I don't know why we let some fake feelings to get in the way of our friendship." I tell him. I don't get why I thought that I loved him or cared for him in a different way than before. It just sort of happened and things got screwed up.

It took him a little bit to respond but when he did he said, "I know, I know. You'll never lose me. I want you to get the help that I need, okay? Then maybe we'll try being friends again. That okay with you?"

"Sounds great to me." I said.

"Can you get Nathan in here?" I was shocked that he wanted Nathan in here.

"Yeah. Uh. I'll be right back." I squeeze his hand. I begin to let go of his hand, but he pulls me back. I look at him, questioning him with my eyes.

"I want to speak to him alone Allison."

"Oh." I nod, not sure what else to say. "See you later on then." I get my hand back and walk out.

I get back to the waiting room and Nathan was chatting with his parents. "Nathan?" I signal for him to come here. He says something to Mr. Jerry and Mrs. Caroline before making his way to me.
