Every boy wants a good girl who will be bad just for him..."•
ALLISON POV:
"Are we riding that" I asked smiling widely, I've always wanted to ride a motorbike, I just feel like the feeling would be honestly amazing.
"if you're not too scared" Chase asks me smirking.
"I am not too scared" I exaggerate, surprised he thought I would actually chicken out, Chase gives me a weird look.
"Stop eyeing her up like that!!" Chase yells like an over protective older brother, trust me, I know that tone first hand.
"Can we get on yet?" I ask hopefully.
"If you stop looking at her like you plan on kidnaping her, and never returning her", Chase says rolling his eyes, although I think I caught a glimpse of a smile on his extremely attractive face.
I stick my tongue out at him and chuckles shaking his head.
Very mature, I know.
I look around his bike, looking for a helmet, because even though I can't wait to ride 'Lulu', I don't necessarily want to die either.
"Where's the helmet" I ask after looking for it and not finding it.
Chase laughs, "princess, I'm the bad boy of Ashtonville, you really think that I would wear a helmet?!"
"Oh I must've forgotten" I say rolling my eyes, "wouldn't want to ruin your notorious reputation.
"Aww princess, you know me so well" He replies winking at me.
I stick my finger up at him.
"Careful there, you still need a ride home" he smirks and gets on the bike.
Okay he has smirked enough for one night.
"How do I get on" I reply after rolling my eyes.
"Here" Chase says as he holds out his arm, I use his outstretched arm to get on the bike.
"If we crash and die because we weren't wearing helmets just know that I said I told you so" I say sarcastically.
Chase chuckles that low sexy chuckle that he seems to have, "don't worry princess, next time I'll bring you a helmet" he says, and I just hear the smirk in his voice.
Wait a second? next time? Before I got to ask about it he sped off and my arms automatically wrapped around his torso, I didn't get to focus on his hard chest because I was too busy looking at the amazing scenery as we zoomed past.
It was even more amazing than I had ever expected, it made the 'bad' side of town look like a landscape.
It was extremely beautiful and amazing but I couldn't help but feel the cold.
Here I am, lying in bed thinking of about an hour ago when I went on Chase's motorbike.
It's weird though, he dropped me off and left straight away mumbling something about how Maria is gonna be pissed and he needs to get home to Ava. She's probably his girlfriend or something.
I closed my eyes, smiling like an idiot about the ride and drifted of to a peaceful slumber, although I couldn't stop thinking about Maria, and Ava.
I woke up, sweaty, head pounding and eyes watery.
Another nightmare, it's not like I'm surprised though, it's so regular these days, its quite rare that I don't wake up just like this, its always one of 2 nightmares as well, yeah, every now and again the facts change a little, but its still the basics of those days.
My alarm rings loudly, breaking me out of my horrible memories.
I shake my head to clear my thoughts and hop into the shower, hoping the hot water will relax my now tense muscles.
I grab an apple and start my long skate to school, enjoying the feel of the wind through my once brushed, long, brunette and wavy hair.
Of what feels like 2 seconds but is actually about 30 minutes I finally arrive at school with 10 minutes to spare.
"Hey Ally" Bella sings as she jogs to catch up to me.
"Hey" I reply faintly, not really paying attention, from the corner of my eye, I see Bella frown at my lack of excitement.
"Is everything ok Ally?" Bella asks me cautiously.
"What-yeah fine, just perfect" I say smiling, Bella gives me a look but luckily she doesn't push it.
In all honesty I just can't stop thinking about who Maria and Ava are, I just feel like there's a lot more to the story I guess. I always was a curious person, I liked to know things and was surprisingly good at observing others.
I've always believed that there is more to what meets the eye, I just understand that no ones life is perfect, everyone has a story. And I can't help but wonder if Ava and Maria are apart of Chase's.
On top of that, I kept on thinking back to my nightmare last night. The day Sophie died already has a permanent place in my head. I remember it all clear enough, I don't need to relive that day every night. I've been punished enough, I know it was my fault, but every night I have that or another nightmare again and again, it just reminds me that Sophie would still be here if it wasn't for me.
It was lunch now, the day has dragged on slowly. I couldn't tell you how relieved I am now that I can just chill, Bella had to tutor some drugo which meant that I was a loner, not that I'm complaining, I really needed the peace at the moment. I just needed to be alone with my thoughts for a while.
I was enjoying the quiet (or as quiet as it could be in a cafeteria full of restless, horny teenagers) when the cafeteria fell silent, I looked at the doorway curiously, wanting to see what the dramatic silence was about.
I saw Chase walk in followed by the 'gang' and the 2 sluts I saw yesterday trying to flirt with Chase, it was the red head I walked in on and a pretty brunette, she was fake, but you could see she was a lot more real than the red head. Chase turns slightly and caught my eye, his dark, emotionless eyes held mine until he turns his head slightly, to face a blonde in the cheerleading outfit that was clinging onto his arm like a koala clings to its tree. I looked at her and suddenly a negative feeling sat at the bottom of my stomach.
I stared at her familiar face, wondering where I know her from, she obviously remembered who I am before I could put my thumb on it because an obvious look of shock and realization frames her captivating green eyes.
Only one person had eyes as bright as her, I blinked a couple of times, trying to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.
I kept on looking at her, expecting her to just disappear, I blinked and she was still there, so I blinked again and when I opened my eyes she was still staring at me with that cold, hard look that she wore the last time I saw her.
It was really Chelsea, my former best friend. Soph, her, and I used to do everything together, we were like the 3 musketeers, always together. We were a tight little group, no one could join in our little gang, no matter how much they wanted to, we protected each other with our lives, and that is exactly what Sophie did for me.
I felt my eyes water up and I quickly grabbed all my stuff and left the cafeteria as quickly as I could without causing a huge scene. Everyone had started talking again, most likely when I recognised Chelsea, when I got towards the exit of the cafeteria I started to run, no one saw but Chase and his gang as they were all to busy doing whatever normal teachers do. I ran past Chelsea and her still shocked expression, and Chase and the other boys and their confused expressions.
I kept on running until I got to the girls rest room, where I fished my phone from out of my back pocket and typed in the number of one of my favourite people in the world. The only person that knew my true past other than Sophie and Chelsea.
I guess its true, the past does haunt you.
He answered on the second ring, "Hey sweetie-pie, long time no talk" I could just see him pouting on the other side of the line, hearing he's voice instantly made my heart warm and a sad smile fall on my face.
"C-Ca-Caleb" I chocked, hating myself for letting my voice give away my mood.
"Fuck, sweetie, are you ok, who hurt you? I will fly all the way over there and beat their ass in for you" he demanded, Caleb was always protective over me, I think that's why he and Blake got along so well, ever since I was 13 and he had transferred from some place to my school and we became best friends straight away, he fitted in my little group easily, and was surprisingly accepted by the girls. I was always jealous of Sophie and Chelsea and how they were best friends, they included me and I knew I was their best friend too, but it just was never the same. I guess they saw that and didn't mind when I found someone to be that for me, we instantly became inseparable, we told each other everything, I told him my biggest secret and he told me his when he felt the time was right;
Caleb was gay, and I mean GAY, he was the stereotypical gay guy, I always had a hunch but he confirmed it and I believed it instantly.
He hasn't told anyone but me, and he still flirts up with anything that has a pulse and boobs. If you weren't as close as we are you'd never know he was gay, not even Chelsea or Sophie knew.
"Ch-Chelsea, she's here" I managed to get out.
The other end of the phone went silent.
"Oh my fucking god..." He breathed.
Caleb knew about the bullying after Sophie died and the way she blamed me for her death, I didn't blame her for blaming me, I blamed me too.
"Oh my fucking god..." He repeated in a whisper.
The bullying wasn't just normal bullying, it was a lot worse, and Caleb knew just how bad it really was.
"Are you ok Ally, I'll get the next ticket and I'll be there as soon as I can, and I promise that I won't leave you and I'll be there for you, I'm always there for you, you know that right?" he said honestly, I know he would too, but that wasn't fair on Caleb.
"It's ok, I can cope, and I know Caleb, it's why I love you so much" I said a little stronger, which I was thankful for when in all reality I knew exactly well I couldn't, but I knew he was being completely honest with me when he said he'd always be there for me, when I said we were inseparable I really meant it.
"No you can't" Caleb sighed, "you can't handle that bitch" he knew me better than I knew myself sometimes.
"I'm fine, I mean it, I have to go now, my friends are calling me, so I have to go" I soothed, I felt my eyes get teary again and he didn't need that.
"Don't you dare replace me you whore" he replied and I could just see him narrowing his eyes at me.
This made me giggle a little, he really was the bestest best friend I could ever have, and I was thankful for him, for everything he's done for me.
"Never Cal" I replied, a lot happier than I was before.
"I love you to infinity and beyond sweetie" Caleb said into the phone.
"I love you more" I said smiling again, I quickly hang up, usually our goodbyes take longer than the actual call, we never can decide who loves who more, we have spent hours just going back and forth about how much we love each other.
I sigh, a lot happier than before but still not as happy as he usually makes me once I finally remember he's not here anymore, he is here mentally, just not physically.
A lone tear rolls down my cheek but I quickly wipe it away and control myself before going back into the cafeteria, time to face the devils spawn and his favorite bitch.
