Chapter 1: Alone "Now Ally remember what I told you. No parties, don't make a mess, focus on school. Also-"Ok mom I get it. You should trust me to keep things in order. I'm 16 mom. You need to learn to let me do things my way and on my own. "I know but you're my little girl." Mom we have been through this, I'm not you're little girl anymore. "I know…" Well bye mom. "Bye Ally." Was this real? Was I finally gonna have the whole house to myself? I can finally do everything I wanted to do. Now that my parents are gone I can have sleepovers, I can stay up late, I go out to midnight parties, and even hang out with Trish more. Trish is my best friend but my parents thinks she's a bad influence on me. Well ok yes Trish can sometimes be lazy and get fired from her job everyday but you can learn some valuable lessons from her. You can learn fashion lessons and stuff. Anyways, the reason I'm my parents are gone is because of their job. My mom and dad have to go out into the wilderness for 3 years or longer to discover animals and their habitats. Yes I know this sounds crazy but it's true. And don't even bother asking me how on earth they are going to survive because I have no idea. I looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 11:00. My heart suddenly jumped realizing that I'm going to be late for work. I quickly grabbed my phone to call Trish so she can come pick me up since I apparently don't have a car. I guess my life being alone is finally beginning.
