"The doctors said you were suicidal... You arn't, are you Lis?" J looked at me, her eyes red as roses, cheeks tear stained and pink.
"What is your real name?"
"That doesn't matter."
"It does to me"
"Melody."
"Melody, what?"
"Melody Elle Johnson"
"Really" I giggled
"Shuttup, i hate it."
"Which ones better, Melody or Elle?"
"You gonna call me by my real name or something?" She grinned and pushed her hair back out of her face
"Well yeah, i'd like that."
"I prefer Melody"
"Elle it is then!" I laughed, sharp pains shooting every which way, but i didn't care.
She grimaced and put her face into her knees, she peaked up from behind them and stared at me.
"I'm not, Elle," i smiled at the new name, "I can't even remember what happened"
"The doctors said you had a fit..."
"did they just?"
"And.. the boy that brought you in, said you just laughed and fell over... you... shook... like you were having a seizure" Elle's face screwed up, the tears came back again. I reached out for her hand, unknowingly, and was happily suprised when she grabbed it and held it tightly. My face heated up.
"I don't care if it's unreasonable, Allison, but i don't want you to leave my side ever again. Okay?"
I nodded happily and closed my eyes, thinking about the boy who brought me in apparently... Why was he there?
When i woke up, Elle was asleep on the pool of chairs she had built in the corner. A tall, blonde boy sat on the edge of my bed. He was lanky, pale.. He looked scared. He looked at me and jumped when he saw my open eyes, "I'm sorry, im sorry!" He jumped up and backed towards the wall, "I just wanted to see if you were alright, i hope your girlfriend doesnt mind.. i just wanted to make sure you were okay..."
I blushed fiercely and fired back "She's not my girlfriend, god no, thankyou for saving me, but seriously. Stop jumping. Sit down and be normal" my head screamed hypocrite.
"So, who are you?" i said to the boy as he sat down, still looking nervous.
"Daniel," he cleared his throat, "my name is Daniel. Who are you?"
I paused and thought.
"I don't know"
He looked confused, "Did you hit your head that hard? Im so sorry, i should of run faster to you.. I just didn't know if you were joking.. i mean you were lau-"
"Daniel! Settle down boy!" i laughed, "i meant that i didn't know who i was.. my name is Allison.. i just don't know who.. i am?"
Daniels face relaxed and he smiled, he had a pretty smile for a boy, "Oh, i get it now."
We talked for a while, Daniel and I, he told me about his family and friends... School and stuff like that. I told him about my FTW scoreboard and quest for love and the truth about myself. He laughed at me most of the time, but it seemed like he understood. Just before he left, he told me something. He was late for dinner, but as he rushed out he leant down and whispered "I don't know who you are either, Allison, but i trust you," he pulled back and hesitated, after a few seconds i pulled him back to my ear and slapped him lightly on the back of the head, "I'm like you. I'm gay. But just.. don't tell.. okay? I just wanted to prove that i trust you, you're the only one who knows, just... i trust you" He blushed and hurried out of the room.
It was quiet for a while, as i contemplated the beauty of what had just happened. I loved him, i didn't know him, but i wanted to be around him. He was someone just like me, he got what i felt.
As i looked over at Elle, i saw her eyes were wide open, her face looked furious.
"Elle, are you alright?" i was kind of scared by her face...
"No. How about you and your boyfriend? are you two alright!?" She stood up and came over to me, tears welling. How many does she have!?
"I.. We weren't... what!?"
"'she's not my girlfriend, god no!' fuck Allison," she immitated by voice childishly, breathing heavily inbetween every two words, "Why, do you like him!?"
I was puzzled, i had no idea what she was getting at here... I layed there until she spoke again.
"Why! Why are you the only one to want romance!? Why are you the only different one!! Why can't i have feelings to, Allison, why!?" She started pacing, "just, fuck you!" then she left.
She stormed out, and i waited.
