ALISSA:
"I told Zane where you are, I don't want him or any one to worry about you and come looking" Elton said as I sighed, nodding.
"Thank you, for everything" I said and Elton shrugged.
"It's not like you wouldn't do the same for me. Because I know you and know that you would" He said and I smiled back at him.
"I guess you're right. I wonder what they're all doing right now" I asked out loud, thinking how I had just left the place after telling them all Scott liked me, then hearing that Heath left town.
"Probably wondering what they're going to do next" Elton said.
"Well I mean aren't we all?" I asked, confused more than ever. The plan was for Heath's grades to get up so we could go to college together. But now it didn't look like that was going to happen.
"You're still going to go to college right?" Elton asked and I actually laughed.
"Of course I am, I have to. I'm not staying here any longer than I need to" I said.
"What about the Hussars?" He asked and I sighed.
"I should probably go and explain things to Cori." I said and Elton rolled his eyes at me.
"Well yes but that's not what I meant. What about you living with them until after the summer?" He asked.
"Their son just ran away from home, I'm going to stay with them. Me leaving too would only devastate them more" I said.
"Their son happens to be your ex. And besides you could always stay here" He said with a shrug as I shook my head.
"I don't need a place to stay. Zane does" I said and he sighed.
"I know. He called me and told me what happened as soon as it happened. I haven't even told my mom" He said, my eyes widening in shock.
"She doesn't know?" I asked, meaning that Elton was gay, as Elton laughed and shook his head.
"Of course she knows! But she doesn't know about Zane and me. She doesn't even know he's gay. I haven't had the chance to talk to her about it all." He said.
"Would you let him stay here?" I asked as he shrugged.
"Elton!" I scolded and he held his hands up.
"I want to! Okay? Of course I want him to come here. Especially when he's got nowhere else to go but god, we're not even dating Alissa!" He said, finally snapping.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped" He said almost instantly and I sighed before shaking my head.
"No, you had the right. I'm sorry for pushing you" I said as he shrugged at me a little.
"Guess life isn't exactly going the way we thought it would, huh?" He asked and I shook my head.
"No it's not" I said as my phone began to ring. I frowned at the private number title flashing but ultimately answered it anyway.
"Hello?" I asked, cautiously.
"Allie? Oh thank god" A familiar voice came.
"Heath?" I asked in a bewildered tone, to say the least.
"I am so sorry baby, so so sorry" He said.
"Where are you? All of your important things are gone and no one can get a hold of you!" I said.
"I had to go, I'm sorry" He said.
"Why? Why'd you have to go? Where are you even going?" I asked, tears welling in my eyes.
