I Loved You Darling (Life As I Know It Sequel)

So I Lied!

Allie POV

"Dude I am starving!". I threw my head back in disgust. "You could warm up some food in the microwave". Balz shrugged his arms in suggestion. "Uh, I guess so. You okay with that Max? I'll hop back in the van when you get tired you can call me". "Ya that's fine".

I hopped on the bus and popped in a TV dinner as it started to drive away. I sat down and started to eat when Ricky sat down across from me. "So you going to tell me and Chris the truth now?". Chris turned and looked up from his notebook to listen to the conversation. "What am I not telling the truth about?". "Cut the shit. I know it's you. When you answered the phone you gave yourself away. You said hey handsome and that's something you use to say all the time". He pulled out a piece of paper and slammed it down on front of me and I realized it was a goodbye letter that started with hey handsome.

Chris was staring and Ricky was waiting for me to say something. "FINE. Fucking fine. You want to know the truth. Yes, I've been lying. My name isn't Allie. It's the name I used to start my life over. I heard Emmett got out of jail and I didn't want him to find me and it was like killing two birds with two stones because I didn't want you guys to find me either". I grabbed my napkin and dunked it in my water then rubbed hard on my arm revealing all my tattoos. "I cover them with make up every day. My co workers know my real name. I explained Emmett to them and they kept my secret for me as well". Chris had a utter look of shock on his face. "Are you happy Ricky, you figured it out! Jesus. That's why I went pale when I saw you at the photo shoot when you asked for a lighter and that's why I was so mean to Chris when he called me by my real name. And now that is out from now on I'm going to stay back in my van". I huffed. "Balz!". He looked so sad for some reason, probably due to not knowing what to think. "Can I go sit in your bunk and finish my food until I go back to the van?". "Sure".

I sat back there long enough to cool off and surprisingly no one bugged me. I laid down with my phone beside my head and shut my eyes. Might as well get some sleep while Max is driving. I don't know how long I as a sleep but I woke to someone coming back to their bunk. I grumbled as I woke up. I saw Chris and he didn't say anything to me to my surprise. I swung my feet over the edge and looked at him. "That was definitely more comfortable then sleeping in a van". He half smiled but it quickly disappeared. "Well I think we're going to stop and stay at a hotel tonight". I nodded. "Works for me. I'll call Max and tell him".
