Allison's POV
After I fell 'asleep' my surroundings changed into a familiar white room.

"Did I die again?" I asked aloud.

I heard laughter behind and turned to see Elijah. He smiled, "You didn't die"

"So why am I here?" I questioned curiosity.

"I watched you today and I am very impressed with the way you handled everything. But I just wanted to check in and see how you were doing besides your my responsibility now."

"I feel great and I want to thank you for my new life" I paused, "I'm sorry" I say looking down.

His brows furrowed, "For what?"

"Me. I mean you have to look after me and if I mess up anything then you'll be responsible. I'm a burden, and it is what it is. And it's embarrassing and it's stupid but it's true" He opened his mouth to talk but I cut him off, "Don't say I'm not because I know I am. Everyone before thought I was and they are right. I'm not useful, or helpful or needed. I'm just someone who breathes your air and wastes your time. I think that someone else deserves this more than me and give another person the opportunity that I have"

I finally met his eyes with tears in mine and he didn't say anything but just stared at me with an emotion I couldn't understand.

He shook his head, "Allison, you are so much more than what you think you are. You deserve to be here and you are not a burden. I brought you here because you were meant to be here. I'm not supposed to tell you this but you were born into the wrong universe, you were meant to be in this one—"

"The fact that you're struggling doesn't
make you a burden. It doesn't make you
unloveable or undesirable or undeserving of care. It doesn't make you too much or too sensitive or too needy. It makes you human. You are an amazing human being with an extraordinary heart. I have never seen any human with a heart like yours, all that you've been through and you still are an amazing person. Struggling certainly doesn't discount your worth as a human being. The truth is that you can be struggling and still be loved. You can be difficult and still be cared for. You can be less than perfect, and still be deserving of compassion and kindness" He ranted.

I started crying towards the beginning, "Thank you" I repeated over and over as he came to hold me.

He lead me towards the ground, still holding me. My eyes started to close and I felt comfortable in his embrace so I quickly fell asleep.
