Every Little Thing
I Can't Do It Alone
The school bus rounded the final corner and came to a stop outside of school. Ally waited for me off the bus. I walked slowly down the bus, unsure of what to expect from her.
"What's with Ally?" Roberts voice came from behind me, making me jump.
"I'm not sure," I shrugged in response. "She apologized." Robert grabbed my shoulder and I turned to face him.
"Don't fall for this Nick," he warned. "You don't want this to hurt you do you?"
"Of course I don't," I shook my head. "but I couldn't exactly tell her to fuck off, could I?"
"Just take care of yourself," Robert said.
Confused, I turned back around and made my way off the bus. Ally looped her arm through mine and walked me into school. I got a few confused glances. I wasn't sure if it was because of Ally being all close to me again, or because of my sudden lack of hair. I convinced myself it was Ally and walked faster to keep up with her.
"So, what do you wanna do?" Ally asked, out of the blue.
"Um, roll call?" I was confused. "Ally, I don't get why you're behaving this way."
She looked taken aback.
"Sorry," she apologized again. "I just really wanna be mates again."
I couldn't help but smile. She was making so much effort, and i was questioning it.
"Okay," I agreed. "We can try and be friends Ally."
She smiled. That smile. It still gave me butterflies. She was still perfect. But it secured one strong feeling inside me. I am definitely not over her.
