I love all you guys. Thanks for reading.

Ally sat up in bed the morning light shown through but she wasn't her normal overly joyed self, a dark depression fell upon her. She nearly jumped out of her skin when someone knocked on her door. The door opened and she forced a smile as her grandmother walked in. "Ally, are you going to get ready for school?" the old woman smiled at her granddaughter as Ally nodded and climbed out of bed. "You can miss school if you want. Ally, I don't..."

"Grandma, I'm fine," Ally spoke up her soft voice carrying across the room. Her grandmother left and Ally immediately changed into a pari of jeans and a dark blue shirt. She braided her soft brown hair and barely put any make up on, she made eye contact with her reflection staring straight into her sad looking silver eyes. She grabbed a black coat and putting it on she ran down the stairs and out of the house.

"Ally, you forgot your books," her grandfather yelled from the door holding them over his head as she sighed with a smile.

"Thanks, Grandpa," she smiled as he handed her the books. "I've got to go now," she kissed his head and ran back to her car driving down the street she blasted her music trying to drown out all her thoughts. When she pulled into the parking lot of Beacon Hills High she found Lydia standing by Jackson looking slightly annoyed.

"I'm glad your back at school so many people were acting weird when you went 'missing'," Ally sighed seeing Lydia better from her accident a month before.

"Why didn't you answer?" Lydia shouted as Ally looked at her funny. "I tried calling like four times in the past ten minutes and you didn't answer, I thought you were skipping," Lydia sighed as Ally laughed.

"Nope, I'm here," Ally laughed walking into the school with Lydia and Jackson. "Aren't you supposed to be at practice?"

"We finished early," Jackson smirked as Ally nodded rolling her eyes.

"So what do you want to do after school, we can go shopping, to the movies, anything." Ally smiled, Lydia was one of her best friends and had been through a lot with Ally and each year on this day in particular Lydia would spoil the ever living daylights out of her.

"Hey Ally," someone called from ahead as the group looked up. Isaac Lahey ran up to them trying to catch his breath. Lydia stared at him as if he was a bug that needed to be exterminated.

"Um...your interupting our conversation," Lydia sighed as Isaac glanced at her for a second.

"We're still going to the Library after class school right?" Isaac asked still out of breath.

"I'm sorry, but we're kind of doing..."

"Lydia, I have a project with Isaac that's due in a few days, after we go to the library we can do everything you have planned," Ally sighed as Lydia's mouth dropped, she was never second on anyone's list and she wasn't ready to be. "I'll meet you there," she said to Isaac as she laughed at Lydia's face expression. Isaac nodded and walked to his next class.

"Your hanging out with Lahey?" Jackson spoke up as Ally nodded. "The kid is weird, I mean he digs graves." The bell rang and Ally rolled her eyes.

"I'll see you guys at lunch," Ally rolled her eyes walking away making her way into her Chemistry class where Scott and Stiles sat in the middle of the room.

"Saved you a seat," Stiles laughed as she smiled and sat between Scott and him. "How are you feeling?" he asked as Scott leaned behind her and smacked Stiles in the back of the head. "Ow, it's just a question."

"Well it's a stupid question," Scott mumbled as Ally laughed.

"Scott it's alright," Ally whispered looking at him with a quirky smile. She leaned down pulled her bag to her lap and pulled her book and notebook out and placed them on the table before leaning down to place the bag back. When she sat back up a small black box with a white satin ribbon sat in front of her. "What's this?" she asked looking at Scott who immediately pointed to Stiles.

"I saw this and I thought how great a pick me up this would be." She smiled and untied the ribbon and quickly opened the box. Her mouth dropped as she pulled a small gold heart on a chain out.

"Stiles, I can't take this, are you crazy," she punched his arm as he laughed.

"I'm not taking it back...partially because I can't find the receipt, but you are taking it," he insisted placing the necklace around her neck. Class started and Ally remained smiling through the entire session, she seemed to have returned to her old self in no time, all thanks to Stiles. When the bell rang she collected her things and began walking down the hall Stiles and Scott ran after her. "So what are you doing after school? Maybe you want to join Scott and I..."

"I can't," she sighed as Stiles looked completely bummed out. "It's not like I don't want to, but after school Isaac and I have this project and then Lydia is going to spoil the everliving daylights out of me," she laughed as Stiles looked at her oddly.

"Can't you cancel, and come hang out with us," Stiles pleaded as Ally laughed.

"Stiles, I can't Lydia always does this for me once a year."

"Is it because..."

"Yes," she cut Scott off trying to avoid the subject at all costs. "I really don't want to talk about it Scott, you know that," she sighed bitterly as he nodded raising his hands in defense.

"I'm sorry," he sighed as she nodded.

"It's not your fault, I shouldn't take it out on you guys."

"Yeah you really shouldn't," Stiles laughed as she pointed at him, warning him. Her phone began to ring and she looked at it seeing she had a new text.

Come home after school. Her grandma wrote as Ally sighed not wanting to explain her schedule.

Can't plans. She replied hoping her grandmother would stop there but of course she did not.

Cancel. This is important.

Grandma, I have a project to do with a friend and then I have to help another friend, if it helps I won't spend the night at Lydia's and I'll come home early.

For dinner. Ally sighed in defeat and sent an OK back.

"What was that, you were like in an intense staring contest with your phone," Stiles spoke up.

"My grandmother wants me to come home for dinner, I guess a movie is out of the question now," Ally rolled her eyes.

"It's nice your grandparents want to spend time with you," Scott tried making a light of things. Ally nodded but thought they really wanted to talk to her about going back to therapy sessions. After she left Scott and Stiles and went to class and the day progressed the cloud of depression following her latched onto her and carried her down. As the final bell of the day rang she pulled her cell phone out and walked to her car but before she could call she noticed he was standing by her car and a small smile appeared on her face.

"Hi," she smiled the depression leaking into her voice.

"Hey, are you alright?" Isaac asked as she shook her head.

"I really hate to do this...but..."

"You're canceling," he sighed scratching the back of his head as she nodded a little.

"I thought I can do some research at home tonight and then Skype you and show you what I got and then tomorrow we can go to the library and finish there," she sighed almost in an asking tone.

"Yeah, I want you feeling your best I don't want you to not put all your effort into the project and causing us to fail," he laughed as she smiled.

"Thank you," she smiled as he stepped closer embracing her in a hug. A small warm feeling broke through pushing the depression slightly away but not enough to change her mood. Isaac walked away as she got in her car and began to drive home. She pulled out her cell again and sighed before hitting the call button.

"Hey what time are you and Isaac going to be over?" Lydia asked as Ally sighed.

"We're not going to the library today, we're going to do that tomorrow. Lydia..."

"Great, then why don't you meet me at my house and we can go see a movie," Lydia said all cheerfully on the other end.

"I have bad news, I'm not coming over."

"Why not?" Lydia nearly screamed on the other end.

"My grandma wants me home early she told me to cancel everything."

"Ally, we do this every year, she knows it's..."

"Tradition, I know, but she seemed pretty serious to me, I promise to make it up to you," Ally smiled as Lydia sighed.

"Fine, text me after dinner."

"Will do," Ally laughed before hanging up as she pulled into the driveway feeling saddened all over again. She pulled her vizor down and looked at her reflection. Tapped to her vizor was a picture taken seven years ago when Ally was small. She was laughing as she climbed her dad's back. A tear fell as she looked at the picture and she quickly closed the vizor and got out of the car and entered the house.

"I thought you were going out?" her grandfather called as she walked up the stairs ignoring him. She closed her bedroom door and laid down and she quickly fell asleep, the stress and depression consuming her. She was rudely awaken her grandmother knocked on the door.

"Dinner's ready sweetheart, clean up we have guests," the old woman called as Ally sat up looking at the clock seeing it was almost seven. She walked into her bathroom and brushed her teeth and put a little more makeup on before coming downstairs.

"Good evening, Ally," Mr. Argent smiled raising his beer as she tried to smile.

"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Argent," she said as her grandfather pushed her toward the table.
