This took ages before I eventually posted it, sorry its so. . .last season.

It's purely Ally/Larry, so any Ally/Victor fans best stay away. I'll accept flames.

This is a continuation from "Home Again", except it's done my way! Kinda like "Sliding doors" and "Run Lola Run". Different paths, it just depends on which one you take.







"I love you, Goodbye."



Elaine slowly placed the note back into the envelope. She glanced into Ally's office, where she saw Ally staring out of the window. She slowly walked to the door and knocked lightly on the doorframe.



"Hey." She said. Ally slowly turned around.



"Hi." She replied. Elaine was unable to make out any expression Ally wore. Saddened?



"He's gone, hasn't he?" Ally asked. Elaine said nothing, but walked forward and hugged Ally as she broke down in tears.

As much as she was hurting, Ally managed to drag herself into work the next day. She was determined not to think of Larry. She sat down and stared at the envelope that had been left there from the previous night. She leant forward and re-opened it. "I LOVE YOU. GOODBYE." She stuffed it back into the envelope and threw in onto the ground. She fought to hold back the ever flowing tears.



"Ally?" John stuck his head through the crack in the door. When she didn't reply he let himself in and saw her staring at the ceiling. He shut the door behind him and sat down opposite her. They sat in silence for a while, until Ally said,



"What the hell does "I love you, goodbye" mean? Why would you say goodbye if you loved someone? It doesn't make sense. Does he mean "I love you, but I'm willing to get over it just so we can say goodbye?" She finished and inhaled deeply.



"I'm sure that's not it. Maybe you should go see him." John replied. He hated seeing her this way. And he had seen her this way a lot. When Billy died, he thought that would have been the worst. Who would have thought that Larry could make such a huge impact on her?

"I can't go see him. I dumped him. You never try and work it out with a guy you just dumped. He's supposed to work it out with you!" Ally shouted.

"Go see him Ally. Or you'll never know why he did what he did." John stood up and let himself out. Ally stayed seated for a while, before jumping up, getting her coat and leaving the building.



She stood in front of the door of his office. Corretta must have been out for an early lunch or something, because she wasn't at her desk. Slowly she put her hand on the doorknob, and twisted it. She slowly pushed the door open to find.no one. She walked into the room. There was nothing on the desk. She checked the drawers, nothing.



"He's probably at the airport by now." Ally spun around.



"Helena." Ally looked at the woman that was probably the reason Larry wasn't with her right now. "What do you, mean?" She asked, not allowing her anger to get the better of her.



"He left Ally. After the last few days, he just couldn't handle it." Helena was looking sympathetic.



"Why would he leave?" Ally asked.



"You were the only one keeping him here. He figured since he had lost you he should just go back to Detroit."



"To Jamie?" Ally asked upset that she hadn't caught him before he left.



"To Sam." Helena said. "He loves you Ally. I don't think he could go back to Jamie as soon as he left the one woman that would have made him happy."



"If he loved me.he wouldn't have left." Ally said. "Do you love him Ally?" Helena asked.



"I.yeah. I love him." Ally replied.



"You dumped him." Helena stated.



"Because he was with you." Ally started. Helena cut her off.



"He was talking to me!" Helena stated.



"About me! You think that makes me feel all peachy inside?" Ally said, her anger boiling slowly.



"Ally. He had a good reason for leaving. And if you would stop feeling sorry for yourself, you would find him and find out what it was!" Helena opened the door and started to walk out of the office.



"Why can't you tell me?" Ally asked.



"It's not my place." Helena simply said, before walking out. Ally collapsed onto Larry's desk, tears in her eyes. The man she loved had walked out of her life. Now she had to find out if she loved him enough to go after him and find out why.





R&R! I know that this particular Ally fan fiction site doesn't get many reviews, so just one would make me happy! So go on, make my day!
