When she finally got back to Tom's place, she had a smile still firmly on her face and she was sincerely happy. She still felt like she wasn't alone but she put it in the back of her mind.
"Anyone here?" Allison said from the living room.
"Be down in a minute!" Tom shouted from upstairs.
Allison sat down on the sofa and waited for Tom. She picked up the photo album that she had brought with her from her place and looked through the pictures. She smiled at the really silly ones and felt her eyes water slightly. It wasn't that she was still depressed. She missed Danny but she also had to laugh at some of the things he did and the way he acted. He was sometimes a complete nerd but it was all part of the reason that she loved him. He didn't always act mature.
Tom finally came downstairs, standing behind the sofa that Allison was sitting on and looked at the pictures with her even though she didn't know he was behind her.
~Flashback~
Danny continued driving and the atmosphere in the car had gotten quiet and uncomfortable. The occasional sniffle came from Allison and she kept her eyes away from the front of the car.
Danny knew he should pull over but just wanted to get home and out of the car as quickly as possible. He needed a drink. He also needed to talk to the guys about the current situation.
He knew that his mum and dad didn't treat Allison like they did most of the other girlfriends he had over the years. They treated Allison pretty shitty but he didn't think much of it. He didn't care if they didn't like her. The only thing that mattered to him was that he loved her and she loved him. Everything else wasn't important. Allison disagreed.
She hated the fact that Danny's parents didn't approve of her. She didn't want things to get bad in their relationship as a family. She also worried of how things would be with McFly after they got married. She cared too much about Danny to want to ruin his future.
It had started raining while they were driving home and it was a hard rain. Danny could barely see in front of the car with the headlights on. He didn't pull over though.
Neither of them could have seen the truck heading their way.
~End Flashback~
Allison felt the couch sink next to her when Tom sat down next to her. She leaned her head on his shoulder and they just sat like that for what seemed like forever.
"Come on." Tom said, taking Allison's hand in his own and walking to his car.
While they were driving to wherever Tom was taking her, Allison looked out the window. When she saw their destination, she turned her head away and closed her eyes.
"I can't, Tom. Please go back." Allison said, keeping her head turned and her eyes closed.
Tom kept going though. He pulled up to the cemetery gates and got out of the car, walking over to the other side and pulling Allison out by her hand.
She had tears falling before they even got to his tombstone. Once they reached it, Tom just stood there, knowing that when Allison was ready, she would turn her head towards it.
She did eventually and started crying. She dropped to her knees, still crying, and just sat there.
Tom walked away from the spot, giving her time alone.
While Allison sat there in front of the stone, sobbing quietly, the sky grew darker and rain started falling.
