Friends

~Christian's POV~

That afternoon,we were bored,so Laura suggested we have a karaoke competition. "Ally! You go first!" Laura beamed! She did. She grabbed the mic and turned on a song I didn't know.

Ally sat on the arm of a loveseat and started singing.

"Don't you know I'm no good for you
I've learned to lose you, can't afford to
Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin'
But nothin' ever stops you leavin'"

"Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own. I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that."
"I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that."

"Don't you know too much already
I'll only hurt you if you let me
Call me friend but keep me closer (Call me back)"
"And I'll call you when the party's over..."

"Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own... And I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that."
"Yeah I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that." "Yeah I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that."

"But nothing is better sometimes..
Once we've both said our goodbyes..
Let's just let it go. Let me let you... go."

"Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own..." "I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that."
"I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that.."

She sang with the most heartbreaking voice. I got goosebumps.

"Holy fuck..." Mitchel murmured in awe. There was a Thick silence. You could cut the tension with a knife. Ally sat by Mitchel and he held her. I got up and walked to the door and opened it. I held on to the door frame as I tried to not puke from how hard last night's memories were hitting me.

I heard footsteps and then Ally was in front of me looking scared with worry. "Are okay? Did you eat something? Drink something? Do you catch a bug? Do you need held getting to your room?" She asked quickly. She placed her hand on my forehead.

"You're not burning up.." she murmured. She placed her hands on my cheeks. "You're cold and clammy though.. what's wrong?" She asked worriedly. I hugged her. A surprise gasp escaped her. She stood there,still for a second,then gently held me.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I fucked up so big Ally. I don't deserve you... or your forgiveness.. But Ally,I am so sorry I hurt you." "I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry." I repeated,trying to keep my tears down.

She kissed my forehead. "Sshh bub. Let it out. It's okay." She murmured. I quietly cried into her shoulder,and she rubbed my back till I was calm. She tilted my face up to meet hers,and she kissed my forehead again. "It's going to take time to forgive... then a little more to trust again." "But I will always be right here,when you are sick and need a friend. When you are stressed and need a friend to listen to you." "When you need a shoulder to cry on. I hold no resentment or hate towards you. Yes I hurt,and I am healing." "Yes forgiving and trusting will take time... but I am always your best friend." She told me.

She held me tight. "Let's go sit down, have some coffee,at Laugh at Mitty and Clinton's karoake,yea?" She softly asked. I nodded. We went inside and she wrapped me in her favorite blanket and made me a mug of coffee. She kissed the top of my head as she handed me the mug. She sat behind me and swept my hair into a half bun.

"All better?" She asked softly. I lightly smiled and nodded. "Thank you." I murmured. "You're welcome,any time, hun." She replied softly. She got up and sat in Mitchel's lap.

~Later~

I noticed Ally falling asleep as we watched Lord of the Rings,and so I took a blanket off the chair I was sitting on,and put it over her. Mitchel smiled at me. "Thanks Mate." He whispered. I smiled and nodded.
