It was around 8:30 p.m when Alysha came home. She signed and sniffed as she wiped her eyes with tears from her eyes from crying and feeling embarrassed after what had just occurred with her date.

Alysha let out a quiet sob as she walked up the stairs trying not to alert Oak that she was home a bit early then she said that she would be home around 2:00 a.m.

So Oak would kinda be shocked to see her here since he had assumed that he would have the whole play to himself. Alysha walked into her room, closing the door, and quickly threw herself on top of her bed bearing her face into the pillow as he started to let shed some tears on the embroidered pillow that her grandmother made her when she was just graduated from high school as a senior before she moved away to Virginia.

It wasn't a really big pillow it was just one of those miniature pillows that you find at your mother or grandmother's place located on their couch or maybe your cousin has one as well.

Alysha sniffed as she laid there hugging her pillow to her chest. "I-i am never going on another date with him or another man ever again." She said crying loudly and ugly. Oak let out a loud groan as he sat up blinking triedly as he rubbed his eyes looking towards the Tv to see that family feud had gone off and was now playing some old old-timey western show ft. men on horses etc. Oak blinked his eyes as he let out a small groan as he yawned, grabbing the remote off of the table, turning off the Tv before getting up and heading up the stairs.

AS Oak was dawdling his way up the stairs and into his room. He noticed that Alysha Door was slightly open. "Oh... She's home?? Already" He thought as he blinked, "I thought she said that she wasn't coming home until 1 or 2 in the morning. He walked over to her door and knocked on it.

"Hey, Alysha?? You okay I hear crying??" He said in a gentle tone as he knocked on her door gently as he waited for her to reply. She sniffed and wiped her eyes as she cleared her throat "C-come in" She said sitting up in her bed while hugging her pillow to her chest.

Oak walked into her room as he crossed the room walking over to her and sitting on her bed next to her crying form. He looked down and clapped his hands together holding them as he hummed. "Let me guess, The date didn't go well did it??" He asked looking at her.

Alysha popped up in her bed with dried up tears streams as she looked at him with red eyes as she hugged her pillow to her chest and nodded her head. "Umm... Y-yeah.." She sniffed wiping her tears as she looked at him. "Yeah, H-h-he kinda dumped me..." She said sighing as she broke down again.

Oak looked at her in shock as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder "Well, Come on tell me what happened" he said soft hearty.

"Well, I went to the restaurant where we both agreed to meet up at the restaurant and so I got ready and everything. I Headed down towards the restaurant and got to my reserved table, sat down, and waited." She said muttering as she looked up at him.

Oak hummed as he nodded his head while rubbing her arm "After you got to the place, What happened next??" He wanted her to continue. 

"So after I got there, I waited and waited. About an hour and a half, I had gotten a text from him saying that he was sorry and that he would be even later to which I typed out okay. So I just sat there, I decided to order a glass of water" she aid trying to speak through her tears and cracking voice "not wanting to be rude without my date, so I didn't eat anything until he got there.  It was around  7:11 when he texted me back again and said that he was not going to make it at all, and so he had to text me saying that he wasn't going to make it at all and that he got some food already and that he forgot to tell me."She cried out more.

Alysha wiped her eyes as she felt more tears come "H-he dumped me and stood me up, People were staring at me Oak, Giving me looks of pity. People were muttering under their breaths while looking at me and gesturing towards me. "It was just rude how he did that to me. I mean he just up and ditch me at the table" She said sniffing as she reached over and grabbed a tissue and blew her nose.

Oka sighed as he shook his head while pulling her into a loving hug as he rubbed her back moving his hand in circles on her back. "It's okay don't cry" He kisses her head as Alysah lets out a loud sob in the crook of his neck. 

"W-why can't anything just go right, Why can't I find a love like everyone else?" She sobbed hugging Oak who hugged her back.

"Alysha, Forgot that guy, He's an asshole if he thinks that he thinks that he has the right to treat anyone as nice and as beautiful as you. Don't worry about him I knew that he was a jerk the minute the guy took one-step through the threshold. I mean just the way the guy looked it looked like he had just gotten out of prison" Oka said as he looked at her.

Alysha signed as she looked at the balled-up tissue in her hand "I guess I have a bad taste in men huh" She said chuckling a little under her breath as she was still a little bit sad.

"Then you have a bad taste of men then that means that I don't have a bad taste in movies," Oak said in a serious manner causing Alysah to let out a little chuckle. "Yes, you do. Especially that one horrible and cheese romantic comedy you picked out for movie night last Thursday night," She said leaning up off of him.

"Oh come on, It wasn't that bad, I say that it was a classic" Oak said in defense

Alysha rolled her eyes as she shoved him while laughing at him "Oh yes, The girl falls for the guy and then when she sees that he has someone else, She becomes all moppy and sad but then she meets an old friend and falls in love with him instead of the guy she loved before, Please" She said smiling

"Damn, At Least Daveed loves, "Love on a Farset," Oak said muttering

"Of course he does, He's cheesy too" Alysah augured

Oak smiled as he shook his head before getting "Well, I'm going to make an ice cream sundae" He says as he walks towards the door "You want one" Oak said asked her.

"Yeah, Sure. Why not" Alysah said getting up and getting up and walking towards the door and out of her room following him towards the kitchen to make the sundaes.

a/n: I forgot so much about these two and the last book. That wasn't very good of me at all. So I will make sure that I will remember this book. Only one chapter of these two in the last book and that was just a shame and a really cheap move on my part for forgetting. I'm so sorry and it will never happen again.
