My name is Alannah Courtney. Yep, Courtney is my last name. Everybody calls me Allie or Al. I don't get along with my family. Especially my mum. My best friend is Gemma Styles. I love her like she's my sister. Her mum, Anne, is more of a mum to me than my own. It's just her brother Harry that uncomforts me. He thinks he can get any girl and I just don't like guys like that. He's very flirty when I'm around. He uses corny pick up lines and even tries to hit my bum but, I've slapped him for doing that before. So, they're you have it. There's me for ya.
"Allie, wake up." My mum said, poking my back. "mahh Noo...." I groaned and turned over. "Alannah, wake up." My mum said again, this time tugging at my hair. "Leave me alone." I said, slapping her hand. I could tell she was pissed now. "ALANNAH MICHELLE COURTNEY! WAKE YOUR FUCKING LAZY ASS UP AND GET THE FUCK DOWNSTAIRS!" She screamed. "Get out of my fucking room." I complained. "Allie, you're almost 18 years old, it's time for you to act like a fucking adult and get your ass up." She spat and then left the room. I yawned and stretched out my arms. I sighed and went downstairs. I smelt pancakes and sausage. "Finally up, aye?" My stepfather Nick said, flipping the pancakes. I chuckled. "Yup." I said, sitting down at the table. Then, my little brother Mason ran into the kitchen. "Fatass is finally up!" Mason exclaimed. "Mason, you're only 7 years old, you shouldn't be talking like that." I said, pulling out my phone. "You can't tell me what to do." He spat. I lifted my left hand and flipped him off. "Dad! Allie just flipped me off!" He yelled. Then, my mum stepped in. "How about you two shut up and wait for breakfast to be done." My mum spat. "Someone is on their period." I mumbled. Mason started laughing. "Allie, shut your mouth or no sleepovers at all with Gemma this summer." She spat. I automatically shut my mouth. Gemma is like my sister, I can't go a fucking day without seeing her! Then, I got a text from her. "Hey, you should come over here later." "Hey mum, can I go to Gem's later?" I asked. "Yes,please." She said in relief. "Damn, it's like you want me gone." I said beneath my breath. "She said yeah." I replied. I put my phone down and focused on my plate. I began to stuff pancakes into my mouth. I shot up and left the table. I packed my clothes. I put on my outfit, "BYE MUM!" I yelled. I ran out the door and slammed it. I ran all the way to Gemma's.
After 15 minutes of running, I finally made it to Gemma's. I opened the door and put my stuff down. I shut the door. "MUMMY, I'M HOME!" I yelled. Anne walked in laughing with a smile on her face. I gave her a hug. I pulled away. "Long time no see." I said. Anne nodded. "You're wearing leather! Aren't you hot?" Anne exclaimed. I shook my head. "I'm fine." I said with a smile. "Where's Gemma?" I asked. "She went to get snacks. She'll be back." Anne said. "Make yourself comfortable." Anne told me and walked back to the kitchen. I shrugged and plopped down on the couch. Then, Harry came downstairs. "Dammit." I said beneath my breath. "Hey, Al." Harry said with a smirk. He sat down right beside me. "What do you want, Harry?" I spat, scooting away from him. He leaned in an whispered in my ear "You." I pushed him away. "In your dreams, Harold." I spat. I looked at the door, hoping Gemma would come in. I sighed. There was no use. I just had to remain calm. "Why don't you like me?" Harry asked. I didn't answer. "Are you going to answer?" He said, poking my cheek. Then, Gemma walked in. "Gemma!" I exclaimed and ran to her. I gave her a tight squeeze. "Hey, love. Did you get you BVB album?" She asked. I nodded and grabbed the album We Stitch These Wounds out of my bag. "Awesome!" She exclaimed, putting up her fist to give me a fist bump. I pounded back. Then, we went upstairs and began jamming out to Black Veil Brides.
About 10 minutes into the album, someone knocked on Gemma's door. "Al, can you go get it?" Gemma asked. I nodded. I opened the door to see Harry at the door. I glared. "What?" I spat. "Do you mind if I listen with you guys?" He asked. I sighed and looked at Gemma. "I don't mind at all but, don't start shit with Allie or me or else your skinny ass is getting kicked outta here.Kapeesh?" Gemma spat to Harry. Harry nodded and came into the room. I sat on the left side of Gemma and Harry sat on the left. Then, my favorite song on the We Stitch These Wounds album came on, Perfect Weapon. "Alone at night you focus, on everyone who's hurt you." Gemma and I sang together. "I have to pee." I said. I got up and left the room. Then, I heard the door open then shut behind me. I turned around and saw Harry, smirking at me. I began to walk to the restroom until he backed me up against the wall. "Answer me when I talk to you. Why don't you like me?" He said coldly. I looked away and crawled under the gap between Harry's arms and legs that were trying to hold me back against the wall. I got up and went into the bathroom. I did my business and washed my hands and walked out of the bathroom. I went back to Gemma's room. Harry was still in there. I sighed and sat down beside Gemma. "Allie, you should spend the entire summer here." Gemma suggested. I took a glance at Harry. I saw his eyes light up. "I'll ask." I said with a sigh. I pulled out my phone and texted my mum "Can I spend the summer with Gemma?" Then I sent it. Moments later, My phone buzzed. I looked down and smiled. "She said yes!" I exclaimed. Gemma squealed and have me a squeeze. Harry was smirking at me. I sighed. I may have a long summer. "Hey Gemma, lets get some... ICE CREAM!" I yelled and ran into Gemma's door. Gemma and Harry both laughed at me I picked myself back up and opened the door. I went downstairs. Gemma and Harry followed behind me. I went to the freezer and opened it. I grabbed the Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream and a fork. "You still eat ice cream with forks?" Gemma said with a chuckle. I smiled and nodded. "Dork." Harry mumbled. I rolled my eyes. Then, Gemma and I ran back upstairs and shut the door before Harry could even notive that we were gone. We sat down and began to play Sleeping With Sirens. "Al, I think Haz has a crush on you." She said, shoving a spoon into her chocolate ice cream carton. "You don't say? He has beem hitting on me ever since I was like 13!" I exclaimed, shoving ice cream into my mouth. Gemma chuckled. "He's making it really, REALLY obvious!" Gemma replied. I nodded. "Maybe this summer, you'll get some sugar outta him." She said with a smirk. "NO! JUST NO! GEMMA SHUT UP!" I yelled. She bursted out laughing. "You never know!" She exclaimed with a shrug. "Gem, I won't I just know. I don't like him. Okay?" I said, giving Gemma my serious look. She rolled her eyes. "If you two were to get married, I'd be your sister in law. Just think about it like that!" Gemma said, tapping her
