"She Is Mine."

"She Is Mine." - Chapter 18

C H A P T E R 1 8

I sat on the brown plush seats, holding my piping mug of hot chocolate topped with juicy marshmallows, looking out at the snowflakes that were delicately coating the pavement. It was nearing December and it was already snowing here in Los Angeles. My focus was brought somewhere else when Zack entered the shop, approaching the table I was sitting at.

"Hey Allison, you needed to talk to me?"

I sighed and nodded, wringing my sweaty hands, nervously. I wasn't ready to tell him, I never was. How would I be able to tell him that I bravely told him that I loved him back when I have a boyfriend about 1,000 miles away that coincidentally broke my heart on the last day of school but I had forgiven him? My head was spinning as I wrecked my brain for the correct way to start the conversation. He looked at me with raised eyebrows, confusion clouding his green eyes that was very similar to Jessica's. This is it, Allison. 2 hours away from H finally coming to visit you, and if you don't tell him now, you will create more problems in the future. And that won't look quite pretty.

"Zack, I.."

•••

I stared at the open road with cars passing by, patiently waiting for the bus to screech to a stop in front of here. Patiently waiting for a face to walk down the steps and pull me into his tight embrace. Zack took it well, but I could see the dissappointment in me, hidden behind his smiley face. He stood next to me right now, as his gaze was focused on his feet. I tilted my head to look into his murky green eyes as I tightened my grip on his hand.

The only difference that sparked between us was my hand was bitter cold and his was warm. Our hands fit perfectly although his was much bigger than mine. A blue bus screeched to a stop right in front of us as I hastily brought my hand away from Zack's, gulping as I awaited H. A tall boy with chestnut hair stepped down from the bus with a huge smile on his face as I forced myself to smile as well.

"Hamilton.."

I couldn't help myself but run towards him and jump into his arms, securing my grip around his neckline. "Hey, I missed you." Tears rolled down my cheeks as I forced a gulp down my throat. "I missed you too." I lied, biting my lip. "I need to tell you something, Hamilton." I whispered into his ear as I pulled away from his grasp though his hands were still wrapped tightly around my waist. "What is it, baby girl?" I cringed at the new nickname. I took his hand into mine and led him somewhere else, somewhere more private without passerbys staring at our very 'affectionate' hug.

"Hamilton, I-"

"You don't love me anymore, do you?"

I looked up at him, meeting his hazel eyes. My tounge was twisted and I felt like a whole load had been lifted off my shoulder. One, because he understood. Two, I was shocked at his correct guess.

"Hamilton, I'm so sorry.."

"It's okay, after what I've done, I've expected this."

"I'm so so sorry for lying to you. I really am." He gave me a warm smile, and nodded.

"It's fine, Allison."

"H- Have you moved on? Have you found a new girl at your new college?" I blurted, faster than expected. He nodded, averting his gaze to something else.

"That's nice. Make sure you treat her right. What's her name?"

"Nikki. Nikki Coleton."

"Pretty name, she must be pretty too."

He smiles, before turning his gaze to Zack. "I saw you holding hands with him before I got off the bus. What's his name?"

"Zackary. But, everyone calls him Zack." Hamilton nodded, smiling.

"So, I guess this is where we say that we shall remain friends?"

"Yeah, I guess so. Let's be friends, Hamilton."

"The best of friends, at least, right?"

"Okay, the best of friends, H." He opens up his arms and smiles again. I swear to God, this boy is all smiley every time I see him.

"Friends can hug too, right?" I nodded.

"Yeah, friends can hug too."

I inched closer to him and fell into his touch, my arms around his waist. "Just so you know, I meant it when I said that I missed you. I wasn't lying about that one." I whispered as H smiled, again.

"I wasn't lying about that too."

We both pulled away, an idiotic smile playing on our faces. "Good luck in the future, Allie."

"You too, H."

He smiled as we walked back to Zack, who was watching us from afar. Hamilton whispered something into Zack's ear that I couldn't catch, which made Zack smile and nod. I watched as Hamilton made his way to up the bus as he gave us- me, one last wave. "See you soon, Mr. Tall Guy." I yelled, waving enthusiasticly. "See you soon, Ms. Gorgeous." I felt tears at the brink of my eyes as I held it back, sighing as the bus door closed behind him and sped off.

I turned to a smiling Zack, "What did he say to you by the way?" Zack raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Oh, nothing. Nothing at all." I smiled at him as he interlocked our fingers. "I love you, Allison." I found myself blushing as I smiled at him and went on my toes before leaning in to give him a quick peck on the lips.

"I love you too, idiot."
