The Boy Next Door

Chapter 14- Heights

Aliza's Pov-

Voices were talking around me. I couldn't tell who they belonged to but I know one of them was one of my best friends. If he even wanted to be my bestfriend anymore. I mean, I've probably just accidently broke him and his girlfriend up.

"Is Ali awake yet?" A small voice said in the distance. Wait. Why was I asleep? I'm probably just taking a nap.

"Not yet. You punched and slapped her after you accused her of stealing your boyfriend. Adyson your my best friend, but I'm disappointed in you" a Canadian voice said. Mitch.

My heart leaped inside of my chest. he cared about me... I think.

"I'll go talk to her" I heard Ty say and then it was silence again.

My eyes opened to a blurry ceiling above me. "Well that was a nice nap" I muttered to myself thinking everyone had left.

Mitch, Kaylen, Jerome and Adam rushed over to my side and looked at me. "Ali your awake" Mitch yelled and hugged me.

I blushed as he hugged me tighter and my eyes caught hold of Kaylens.

She had a small, sly smirk on her face, as if to tell me 'I told you that you liked him'.

But in my defence, I didn't deny it.

"Hey guys go tell Ty and them, I'll stay with Ali" Kaylen said pulling Mitch away from me.

"But.."

"No one wants any butts of your Jerome, now all of you, go" Kaylen laughed and pushed them all away.

Once they left she sat down next to me and looked me dead in the eyes.

"You. Like. Mitchhh" She sang quietly. I covered her mouth with my hand and slowly nodded my head.

"But I can't like him" I sighed dropping my arms back down to my sides.

"Why not?" Kaylen asked with her now free mouth.

"Because he's dating Ashley. I can't take him away from her.I just can't Kaylen. She's one of my bestfriends... And she had him first" I said looking down at the floor.

"Aliza your too nice you know that? But it's up to you and in all honesty, your making the right choice right now. I won't tell Ashley I promise" Kaylen said.

I nodded my head and stood up. "I'm going home" I said and walked towards the front door.

"What! Your not staying?" Kaylen yelled to me.

"No, I can't... It's complicated okay? I'm just going to go" I said and opened the front door and walked out of it. I closed it quietly behind me and walked next door.

I reached into my pockets for my keys and realised I left them on the counter in my house. Greatt.

I looked up and noticed that my bedroom window was open. 'Perfect' I thought and then realised one flaw in my plan. 'How the heck do I get up there?' I noticed the drain pipe leading up the side of the house and smirked to myself.

'Perfect' I approached the drain pipe and started slowly climbing up it. 'God damn it, why does my bedroom have to be at the top of the house' I thought as I pulled myself up again.

"Aliza?" A voice called. I looked down and saw Ty and Adyson standing there looking up at me.

"Uh hi" I called down to them. Unfortunate mistake... I lost my footing as I grabbed hold of my window ledge and slipped, holding on by just my hands as my feet dangled in mid air.

I screamed as I struggled to keep grip. "Hold on Ali!" Ty yelled up to me and started rushing around. He bent down behind the plant pots and pulled out the spare key.

The spare key!

I'm so stupid I forgot the spare key! and now here I am hanging from my fourth story bedroom. Perfectttt.

I looked back up and closed my eyes tightly. Would the fall kill me? I hope not.

Adyson's Pov-

I watched in horror as Aliza lost her footing. I came over to apologise to her and here she is hanging from her bedroom window ledge.

Ty found the front door key and handed it to me. I stared at the sliver piece of metal in the palm of my hand and then back to Ty.

"What do you want me to do with it?" I asked stupidly.

"I want you to go inside up to her bedroom and pull her in through the window" Ty said pushing me towards the door.

"Why can't you do it?" I questioned him as I put the key in the lock.

"Because I need to go get the others" Ty said quickly.

I nodded my head and ran akwardly inside. This could be the matter of life or death for my friend. The fall would kill her, for sure.

I ran as fast as I could because I had my boot cast on my leg and in a matter of seconds I was in her bedroom on the top floor, opening her bedroom window.

I noticed the boys all coming out of the house. I looked down into Ali's scared blue eyes and held out my hands to her.

"Ali grab my hands" I yelled to her over the strong winds.

"I-I can't Ady. I'm scared" She whimpered. One of her hands slipped and she held on with just the one remaining.

"Ali please trust me. I'm sorry for accusing you for stealing Ty. Your my best friend" I yelled to her again.

It happened all too fast next. Her remaining hand slipped...

Without thinking, I near threw myself out of the window and grabbed ahold of her wrists. She looked up at me with her blue eyes and smiled weakly at me.

"I forgive you" She whispered so I could hear her.

My hands started slipping from her wrists and one of them slipped completly. "A Little help up here!" I yelled quickly.

Someone slipped away from the crowd but I couldn't see who. "Ali just hold on your going to be okay" I reassured her.

"Ali give me your hand" Mitch said appearing behind me.

Shakely, Ali held up her hand and Mitch grabbed hold of it. Together we pulled her in through the window. Somehow she ended up in Mitch's arms.

"M-Mitch" She sobbed. I left the two in the room as I slowly left, knowing that I had my best friend back. And she was safe.
