ALI'S POV  

I'm standing there, trying to absorb what just happened. Did Zac ask Alex out? Or was it the other way around? Why is this bothering me so much? Alex is one of good friends and she's happy, so shouldn't I be happy for her? Shouldn't be happy for both them since both of them are my good friends? I must look like an idiot standing there, not saying a word. I think Alex notices my expression because her eyes focus on my face.  

"What's with the face?" Alex asks.

  I shake my head to get out of my deep thoughts. I force out a fake smile, in attempt to not show what I'm feeling.   "Nothing."

 "You sure? Because you seem to be..."  

I cut her off. "I said nothing's wrong. I'm just tired so I'm going to go take a shower and sleep." I say as I get my pyjamas and bathroom supplies.

After I get out, I walk to our room. As I'm about to open the door and walk in, I hear Alex and Aria laughing and squealing. I'm assuming Alex told Aria what happened. I exhale a breath that I didn't know I was holding. I open the door and walk inside to find Alex standing in the middle room and looking up at Aria, who is on her bunk, both with giant smiles on their faces.  

"Hey Ali! Did you hear..." Aria starts before I cut her off.

  "Yeah. I did." I say.  

"Um...What's wrong?" Aria asks in a concerned voice.

  "Nothing. I'm just tired. So would you please be considerate and not squeal so loud?" I say as I lay down in my bed, trying to go to sleep as fast as I can.

I sit up in my bed in cold sweat. I had another nightmare about my dad again. I look over at the clock near my bed and see that it's 3:30 in the morning. I couldn't go back to sleep so I quickly change into a purple Juicy Couture sweat suit and a black tanktop underneith. I grab my flashlight from my nightstand and make my way out of my room, as quiet as I can so Alex and Aria don't wake up.   I get out of the building and turn on my flashlight, as I make my way to the auditorium, hoping that it's unlocked. To my luck, it is. I look around me to make sure nobody is around. I quietly open the door and make my way inside and go straight to the piano.

I sit on the piano chair and open the piano lid. I begin to play "When I Look At You" by Miley Cyrus and begin to sing to it too. This song reminds me of father because I look up to him when I need help, assuming he's still here with me. As the melody comes to an end, I feel tears streaming down my face.

I close the lid and make my way outside the building and down to the beach.   I sit there listening to the waves crash onto the shore, one after the other. I decide to call Sean because of the pain I'm feeling.   The phone rings three times before I hear a sleepy voice on the other line. Only, that voice isn't Sean's. It's a girl voice.  

"Um, hello?" I say.

  "Hello?" The girl says.  

"Who's this?" I ask.

  "Who's this?" she asks back.  

"Ali, Sean's girlfriend. Now, answer my question." I say.

  Before I get an answer out of her, the phone hangs up. Who the hell was that answering MY boyfriend's phone?! I feel more tears running down my face and before I can stop myself, I begin to call someone else. It rings twice before I hear Zac's sleepy voice through the phone.
