Chapter 2
"Alana?! What happened to you?!" Leah screms getting in the car. I quickly wipe my tears and try to swallow the lump in my throat. "Why are you crying?" her voice is now soft and gentle. "I've had a huge headache, since the concert started. It hurts so bad." I tell her, hopefully she'd believe this whole lie I just told her. "Awww, Alana! Sorry I didn't know- I swear . . . Gee, but you didn't have to run out the room like a psycho!" she rubs my back gentle. Right after Zayn talked to me, I panicked so bad I ran out the room. Ran without stopping and without looking back. He recognized me! If he tells Harry . .. or Niall . . . I- "Here I'll drive, Ala Kay? We'll stop at the store and buy some Tylenol. How does that sound? Ah, sorry for not noticing you were feeling bad, it's just that seeing them! One Direction! It was amazing and I got a flipping kiss from Liam on my cheek! OH MY GOD I-" "Please let's go." I interrupt her and she bites her lip. "Sorry again." we switch places and I lay my head on the window. Right now I want to cry my eyes out. After a while Leah finally speaks, "Does it hurt that bad?" "You have no idea, how much it hurts." I whisper in-between little sobs. "Maybe you have a migraine?" she asks. I don't have a migraine, what's hurting is my heart. I'll rather have a headache than be in this much pain. So much memories torturing me. And Harry! When I saw him tonight, I felt my whole universe in reverse. I felt the same butterflies, I felt that day at the lake . . . When Harry and I- I shouldn't even be thinking of this in the first place! "Maybe." I finally say. Leah stops at a Dollar store and runs to get some Tylenol. Alana, you must keep yourself together! This is all like a nightmare. I hate all this. It's not fair at all! My past is coming back to haunt me. Its just not fair. "Here ya go!" Leah comes back and takes out a Tylenol pill, then hands me a Pepsi bottle so I can swallow the pill down. Even though I have no headache I take it anyways, might help me sleep faster. Because right now, all I want is to sleep. That's it. Sleep.
"Alana. Alana." I wake up feeling scared, Leah keeps shaking my body. "What?" I ask alarmed. "You're home." she says. I look outside the window and see a familiar tall building. "Thanks for bringing me home, and for the pill." I say. She smiles shyly, "It's the least I can do." she gives me a tight squeeze and I get off the car. The moon is shining bright, and it's quite chilly outside. I'm still sleepy, I slept through all the way. I wave goodbye to Leah as she drives off. My knees are shaking from the cold, and my bones feel like they are frozen. "Hello, Ms. Alana." the receptionist, Karin, a twenty-three red headed girl. Who's very, very nice. I like her, she's a very nice person and yes I consider her my friend. "Karin, why call me Ms. Alana? Just call me Alana." I tell her, she smiles. "But I'm still in my job, and therefore I must call you Ms. Alana." she gives me a little wink and I smile, she hands me my apartment key and I wave goodnight. My apartment is warm and cozy. I take off my clothes and put on my pjs. The bed feels nice and soft. I've always imagined the clouds being as soft as my bed. My eyes burn from the tears. I see my phone laying down beside me. My hand reaches for it and I unlock it. 3 Missed calls and four text messages, all from him. Jai.
