Allison's P.O.V.

I decide to make myself some tea when Harry and Connor walk in.

"Hey, guys!" I say to them.

"Hey." Connor says and goes upstairs.

"Hey, babe." Harry says and comes up to me. He kisses me on the cheek andputs his keys on the kitchen counter.

"So, are Jack and Gemma are here already?" I ask him.

"Yeah. They're back at my place. Since Mum's not home, they're probably hitting it off." He says and winks.

"I don't think Gemma would give up on hitting it off with him that easily." I say.

"Why not? If I was her, I would." He says.

"Well, you would if you didn't have cuts and bruises and don't like to show your body because of that. You'll be insecure. You won't be yourself." I say. I feel bad for Gemma. It's not her fault her physical appearance is that way.

"True, I guess." He says. "I would never be a John to anyone. Unless they deserve it, you know."

"Yeah." I say.

"Gemma doesn't deserve to be this way." He says. "But, she doesn't do anything about it either. Doesn't even let us do anything."

"Yeah..." I say. "I wouldn't do anything either if it involved my family. I care about all of you too much."

"Yeah, but we can get out of that mess." He says and grabs an Oreo from the little pack they come in.

"Not when you don't even know what the mess is going to be." I say. "Some people are just afraid of what might happen. And are too afraid to risk their families for something they did. They rather just pay the price themselves. And I think that's what Gemma's doing. She knows she did a mistake by dating him. And she's letting him punish her. Even though, he's not suppose to be the one punishing her. That's someone else's job."

"I just want him out of her life." He says.

"He's going to be there somehow. Past life, present life, future life. As a memory, a mistake, or a regret. Maybe even all of them."

"I know..." He says and looks down. "I'm gonna go upstairs. I'm pretty tired."

"Alright, I'll meet you up there." I say and he goes upstairs. I stand there in the kitchen and decide to go get a nice book. Since I literally had a mini library in the house. I love books too much.

I open the door and see the desk I had down here too. And the two bean bags. Don't tell Vanessa I have those. She doesn't come in here. All the books here are "boring".

I open the other door and it leads to a huge bookcase. I look through the bookcase to see if there's anything that interests me. Since my mom said she bought me a couple of new books.

I don't see anything. Until I see How to Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. One of my social studies teacher told me to read it, yet I've never read it. So, I grab it and head out.

Once I'm back in the kitchen, I get my cup of tea and head upstairs. Once I'm upstairs, I hear Vanessa's door open. I look at her door to see who it was. It was Connor.
