One Last Chance

Chapter 6 Alison

         I crawled under my sheets and lay against my pillow bitting my lip as I dreamt about Ty under the warmth of my covers. Suddenly something hit my window. I got out of my covers wearing my shorts and my tight little tangtop. I stepped slowly toward the window and as being really nervous I was sweating and I looked out and was realived when I saw Ty throwing rocks at the glass. I waved to him and opened up my window. He told me to come outside because he had something to show me. I said ok and walked downstairs quietly so Tasha doesn't wake up. When I went outside to the frount porch Ty grabbed my hands and pulled me closer to him kissing me on the forehead and we started walking along the sidewalk, my arm looped into his arm and my head against his shoulder. We just talked and talked. I felt a sudden drop of warm water from the sky and figured it was about to rain. I warned Ty and we started to run back home as the rain caught up to us and we laughed. We reached my frount lawn drenched in water, laughing and Ty wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck and we started to kiss as the rain touched our lips gently.

       Bling! bling! I woke up instantly to the annoying sound and turned around to hit the snooze button on my alarm clock. Suddenly Tasha walks into my room with her head hung low. She sits on my bed crossed legged as she always sits like a lady. She has tears in her eyes with her make up running. I asked Tasha what's wrong while rubbing my eyes and she says
    "Alison there's something I need to tell you, it's about your parents"
   "What is it?"
   "Well it's unfortunate that uh...your parents are dead Ali"
   "What, how!"
    "Here's the thing" Tasha was about to lose it.
    "Well what is it!" I said trying to hold back tears.
    "Ok, your Grandma called this morning and had told me about your parents. They were going for dinner yesterday night in a taxi and they didn't know that the driver was drunk. He crashed them into a pit and they didnt make it in the hospital. The doctors tried everything, but nothing worked. I'm so sorry Ali" Tasha began sobbing again"
   "I didn't know what to think anymore. I felt like this was my fault" I stormed out of my room as Tasha tried to run after me. But I walked out the door angerly and headed to the park. I felt that my life was over. I ran to an abandoned bridge and crawled under. I pulled my knees close to me and began to sob. I've been tough all my life, but now I can't take this. I decided to bury my soul here forever. Suddenly I heard some footsteps on the bridge and I pulled my legs closer to myself and tried to look invisible. But the footsteps then turned to a voice. The person called my name. I was confused to why that person knew my name. I just said
"Leave me alone" But the person poked his head under the bridge and I saw Tyler, although I just wanted to be alone and I told him that. He said
"Ok, but your parents are never gone. They're with you, always" He told me that he'll never let me forget that and I felt a smile coming on. He touched my arm and told me that he'll leave me alone now. But I stopped him and said
"Thank you" and he hugged me gently and said that I should come home and I agreed.

       They next day I decided to stay in bed and tell my aunt that I was sick because I still wasn't ready to go back to school after what she told me yesterday about my parents. Tasha  walked into my room and said
"Come on Alison time to get ready for school. I lifted my head to answer her and I said
"Tasha, I'm sick can I not go to school today"
"Alison-
"please don't make me go Tasha"
"Ok honey you can stay home"
"Thank you"
"Your welcome, but you know you can talk to me about anything ok"
"Ya, I know" After that I stayed in bed for many days and I ate nothing. I felt that I was fading slowly.
