Chapter Twenty Nine

"This place is huge" Allison mumbles as Joey and Daniel leave us in the food court while they go off, obvious fear etched on her face.

"Don't worry, Allison. I'm right here. Any idea what you want to get the boys? Let's start with Joey" Allison's grip on my hand tightens as she takes in all the people around her.

"G-Gaming" She chokes out and I follow her stare. Shit.

"Allison, we have to go right now. Don't let go of my hand and don't stop running" She nods fearfully and tightens her grip. "Three, two, run"

I take off, Allison following close behind, the two of us racing to the nearest store, a baby store.

"What the literal hell?" Allison mumbles, sinking down do her knees.

"I don't know. Listen, don't move. Stay right here. I'll be back" She reaches out to me, scrambling at my clothing as I try to turn away. "Allison, I have to go. I'll be right back"

"Just, stay safe" She pulls me down with one final kiss and I head off.

I hear her let out a sob as I leave and it's then that I realize just how scared she is.

I consider going back, but have no choice as Headmistress Grace comes into view.

I bolt to Mall Security.

"She better not find Allison" I whisper under my breath before pratically throwing myself onto the desk.

"Yes, ma'am?" He asks and I bite my tounge, attempting to prevent a panic attack.

"Can you? I need someone and my girlfriend just...please" I pant.

"Who do you need? I need names"

"Joey Graceffa and Daniel Preda. Just tell them to go to the baby store please" The man nods and I head out, hearing the call overhead.

"Joey Graceffa and Daniel Preda please report to Minnie's Nursery. Joey Graceffa and Daniel Preda to Minnie's Nursery please"

Pushing to the extreme, my body eventually collapses to the ground and has a major panic attack.

I pull myself up and against the wall.

Luckily, I see the two boys rushing to the nursery in hurry. I clutch Daniel's ankle.

"Cassie" He drops down next to me. "What happened? What's wrong?"

"Allison- she's still there" I choke out.

"Joey, go to the nursery right now" He runs off.

Daniel pulls me onto his lap and presses a hand to my stomach, checking the rate of my breathing.

"What happened? Just talk to me" He mumbles.

"Headm-mistress...here...Allison...alone"

"She's not alone, Cassie. Joey's going to her"

"Headm-mistress!" I cry out in fear, pointing to the fat woman.

"She won't hurt you anymore, Cassie. I'm not gonna let her near you" Daniel confirms in a whisper.

I'm off his lap and he's approaching Headmistress Grace, fury evident in the air.

I cover my ears with my hands and force myself not to hear the screaming banter between the two.

Daniel glances back at me and sighs, his muscles relaxing and his tone obviously going down as his mood goes out.

Headmistress Grace storms off and Daniel runs over to me, pulling me up tight into his arms. My panic attack is gone and I've decided to wait in Daniel's arms for Allison.

"Joey says to come to the store" My breathing slightly elevated, I head to the store.

My fears are wiped away and my breathing returns to normal as Allison spins me around in her arms, kissing me deeply.

"Hmm" I hum and Allison groans. I do it again.

"Fucking tease" She whispers against my lips and I smile, pulling away.

"I want to go home, guys. Can we just go shopping some other time?" Joey nods and Daniel yells out "of course!"

"Tea, anyone?" I nod in excitement and Allison takes my hand, the first sign of affection she's shone when the guys are here...when anyone is here. She knows it's okay.
