Allison's POV

I decided, after a while, that I should start heading back to the house.  The sun was beginning to rise, so I must've been out here for a while. I walked back to the house, enjoying my time of silence and peace. When I finally arrived, I carefully opened the front door and shut it quietly. I was then about to go upstairs when a voice stopped me.

"Where were you?" Izzy asked sternly.

"I just went out." I shrugged.

"And where did you go and how long were you out for?"

"Jesus Christ you're not my mother." I groaned.

"I'm worried about you. You're my friend." Yeah right.

"Don't worry about me." I said then went up the stairs. I ignored the many protests from Izzy and walked into my room and slammed the door shut and locked it. Pacing my room, I began thinking. I suddenly stopped in my place and came to realization. I probably just lost a friend because I'm me. I began tugging at my hair in stress. Why can't I do anything right?

"Because you ruin everything."

The voice ain't wrong. I do mess everything up. I cause people to leave. I cause this self hate. I caused this to happen to my life. I'm so stupid!

"Allis, open the door!" I heard Izzy exclaim outside my room.

"No! Now go away!" I yelled while throwing a book at the door.  After sitting in silence for a few moments, I heard a soft knock from outside the door.

"Allison, can you please let me in?" I heard a soft voice ask through the door.  I quickly got up, unlocked the door, then crawled back into my bed.  The door slowly opened, revealing a kitten.

"What do you want?"

"I came here because, Iz, is very worried about you, but you won't talk to her."

"Why's she even worried about me?"

"Because she's your friend." Michael sighed.

"No she's not!  Neither is anyone else here.  Y'all are just gonna leave me like everyone else did!" I exclaimed.

"Allison, that's not true." He said sternly.

"Yes it is. Everyone leaves no matter what.  Even if they promise." I said on the verge of tears.

"Those people who left you are idiots.  We'll never leave you. We care for you, a lot. You can trust us, I promise you with my life."

"But-"

"I know it's going to be hard to trust, but I'll wait, we'll wait."

"Fine."

"Now, let's go downstairs, everyone's down there worrying about you." Michael said, grabbing my hand and pulling me up. We both then walked downstairs to where everyone else was.

"Oh my god, Allison are you alright?" Luke asked while pulling me into a hug.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I plastered on a fake smile. No one can know.
