Chapter 9: falling apart and no backing out now

"Guys! I found her she's on the roof of the building!" He yelled as he was standing on the stairs leading up to the second floor.

"What?! Why is she on the roof!?" Matthew exclaimed his eyes widening at the thought of losing another friend.

"Stop asking questions and move it, come on!" Charlie shouted towards Matthew as she along with lily was already half way up the stairs, everybody else quickly followed behind them Charlie and Lily were ahead of everyone they'd skip a step to get there faster, they didn't care that they were going to fast for the others to catch up, all they cared about was that their friend is in a dark place right now and that they need to be there for her.

*Allison's P.O.V*

I sat down on the ledge of the building looking out at the view in front of me, the view was beautiful up here you could see everything from up here, the sunset and the trees, the clear blue sky turning into the night sky above me, I watched the sun disappear behind the trees and watched as the stars shined throughout the dark night.

People say that death was cruel, and they were right, death is cruel, Death took one of the only good thing in my life. When I was little I used to be afraid of everything, I was afraid of the dark, snakes, spiders, I was afraid of the bullies in school what they did to me, picking on me, calling me names, it wasn't until frank helped me through it that my life became better, that and my dad taught me how to defend myself.

"There you are we've been looking everywhere for you, we literally just ran 3 flights of stairs just to get up here, Allison?" I jumped at the voice behind me, turning around I saw Charlie and lily both standing by the doorway looking at me with sorrow filled eyes.

"Ally are you okay? We're so sorry about your uncle" lily said as she walked towards me, I turned back to the star covered sky.

"You know he would've loved it up here, he would have loved the view and the breeze of the wind, when I was younger Frank would take me out to look at the stars and we could've sat there for hours and hours just staring at them and never get bored it, he'd always tell me that 'only in the darkness can you see the stars' and I've always been so fond of those words but how can I see the stars if he's not here to see them with me" I said to them my voice breaking from the emotions running through me as I let a tear fall down.

"Oh Ally I'm sorry" I heard Charlie say as I felt arms wrap around me as the girls hug me, I know this is their way to comfort people, so I let them do it, hearing the door behind us slam open we all jumped from fright and turned to the door only to see all the boys sprawled out on the floor panting, probably from the run up here.

"Holy hell I'm never running again in my life" Matthew exclaim as he struggles to get his breathing under control.

"I think I'm dying, I swear exercise is going to kill me one day" Caden said as he was laying on his back on the floor, I chuckled as I went over to help him up.

I pulled him up off the floor and watched as everyone got their breath under control, I walked over to the wall and leaned my back against it as I watched them all bicker back and forth, I couldn't help but to smile as I watched them all.
