I looked at him, pleadingly. "Dad, couldn't you help me out?"
"As much I wanted to daughter," He kissed the top of my head. "I have work and that is illegal."
I rolled my eyes, "It isn't, I'm fighting for what should be mine."
"You think she'd be happy with you?"
"You'll see." I told him, leaving for him to prepare for work.
I entered the dimly illuminated room. I sigh, sitting on the chair. My eyes lingered at the side, soon closing.
What could I do to get her attention?
Fingers tapped on the table gracefully; foot doing the same on the ground. I grab the paper that I've been keeping for the last couple of days; eyes scanning it, while my mind was deciding if I should continue this or not.
That's silly, why wouldn't I do this?
It may be risky, but... Oh well, this is the only thing I could do to get what I want. I am sure that this will come out successfully.
I grin, keeping it back to where it belongs. I'll be doing this in a matter of days; not now, but soon enough that it may suprise the two.
-------------------------------------------
A knock was heard from the door. "Come in." I said softly, not bothering who got in. I'm busy actually, and I rather not be disturb right no-
My thoughts were interrupted by a rapsy voice. "Why didn't you tell me?"
I looked at those green forest eyes, thinking for a moment regarding what thing she was saying. It registered through my mind about the talk with her father.
Ahh, He already told her. I thought.
Didn't think it would be all too soon.
I gathered the thoughts in my head on what I would supposed to say. Although, the raven haired girl wouldn't let me, considering her eyes were burning holes to myself. Kinda scary but I have to speak up, knowing she was waiting.
"Uhm..." My voice came out uncomfortably.
Lauren can see the uneasiness through my expressions. She sigh, letting herself calm down for a moment, body relaxing too. "I'm sorry." She stated. But still, her eyes shows madness in it. I'm actually proud that she could control it.
"Ally...Why didn't you tell me before?" Lauren looked as if she was betrayed, sending surges of remorse through me.
I scratched the back of my neck, looking away. "I uh... Your father didn't let me to...?"
Okay, that came out wrong.
"What I mean to say..." Come on Ally, think. I took a deep breath, confidence regaining again. I fully looked at her,
"Your father didn't want to, he told me that he wanted himself to explain it to you, even I wanted to tell you the truth."
That was so straightforward.
Despite on what I had explained, her face hardened when she heard about her father. "You shouldn't have listened to him..."
"I respect your father Lauren."
"How about me, Ally? Would you keep secrets from me rather than tell it? " Face hardening as eyes showed more emotions than before, "I thought we promised that there would be no concealment of secrets?"
I knew from that day when I was told by Lauren's dad, I made a really bad decision, a big one. I always wonder what will happen if Lauren knew, now I regret it. I already regretted it from the start anyways.
I actually don't know what to say right now. My mind literally went blank. I know for myself that this is not me, keeping secrets from someone that I love, but I was forced to and I have to respect that. Nevertheless, I shouldn't keep secrets from that person to, which is Lauren. I knew right now, she's feeling so deep that I could think. When I say deep, it means the different emotions, not happy of course.
My mouth opened, soon shutting since I didn't know what I should even say, I was left speechless. Lauren furrowed her eyebrows at me, "What? Can't speak?"
I was taken back from her voice, not used to it by being harsh. I tried to speak, "Lauren I-"
"I what? I'm sorry?" She laughed. "Save your speech for sometime, Ally. If you're not going to say anything now, then maybe later. Your wasting my time right now." She left, leaving the door shut.
I frowned at the last thing she said, I deserved it anyways. I'm a good girlfriend, aren't I?
Tears filled to my eyes, I wiped them away before it could go running down my face like a river. A shaky breath was released, following me leaning into my chair more.
I am aware to myself that this isn't me, I would have told Lauren all of this once I was told but I didn't.
Why didn't I?
--------------------------------------
"Hello?"
I grab a pen and a paper, proceeding on sitting down on the couch. "What's her address?"
"Why?"
"I just needed to know. Don't try to ask me again." I told him, having a firm grip on the pen. I write down the exact address of where that mental girl is living.
"Don't tell me you are going to do something?" Worried filled his voice.
"Do I even need to tell you?" I asked, irritated.
"Goodluck so, if you ever need me then just call."
I thanked my father before ending the call, typing what I had written on the paper to my notes. I may be mad just like a volcano, yet I understand Ally and maybe I regretted on the last thing I said to her.
Still, it doesn't mean I'm going to forgive her. I feel numerous emotions right now, from her by keeping a secret this long. We made a promise, which should be fulfilled. I hold on to that agreement we did, because I know to myself Ally wouldn't lie, knowing her being faithful and such.
Also, what I did back there was such a dick move for my opinion. I should be calm, however, I couldn't control my anger issues, resulting me saying things that I would regret later on. I know Ally feels very guilty, soon enough she'll be apologizing. I really liked that about her.
See? despite me being mad, i'm still thinking good things about her.
Okay stop thinking about that. I thought. You should be angry.
I relaxed on my couch. I let my eyes close, falling into a deep slumber i've been dreading for.
Nonetheless, no matter what situation we are on, i'm still going to protect her even if I die.
