Hey everyone! So this may or may not be the last update for a while...CURSE YOU SCHOOL! And sorry this came so late, every time I tried uploading, the website gave me an error! :( ANYWAYS, Enjoy!


~Alois P.O.V

The rest of the day was hell. Grell was confused, Ciel was distant, and I swear everywhere I went, he was watching me. I felt like I was on the brink of madness.

As soon as the last bell rang, I took Grell by the wrist and dragged him to my car.

"Alley! Where are we going?" He said as I threw him in the passenger seat. He's really light for his age, honestly.

"Don't worry." I said, starting the car and driving out of the parking lot. "Just to my house."

"What's wrong, Alley?" He asked, placing a hand on my shoulder. I just sighed and smiled sadly at him.

We were at a stop light when my back door opened. "Hey guys. What's up?"

"WILL?!" Grell and I screamed at the same time.

"WHAT?!"

"Why did you just randomly get in my car in the middle of an intersection?!"

"Teaches people to lock their doors while driving. The light's green." He said, buckling his seatbelt.

"Will, why would you just-"

"I saw you and Alois take off right after school, so I followed you until you stopped."

"Wait you followed- you can be so weird sometimes, you know that?!" Grell yelled, turning around and punching him in the arm.

Smirking, the stoic man took the fist aimed at him and kissed it. "I know."

Grell was red in the face when he turned back around. I started laughing and continued to drive the three of us to my house.


"So what exactly happened last night?" Grell asked as I handed him and Will a cup of tea.

"Well," I started, but stopped when I took a good look at the scene in front of me.

We were all in my bedroom, the other two were sitting on my bed. Will had his legs crossed with a teacup and saucer in his hands, while Grell was instinctively leaning against him. 'They've always had each other to lean on.' I thought, smiling a little to myself.

"After I fell asleep, Ciel tried coming through my window, but it was locked, so-"

"So wait, you got here before Eye Patch?" Grell asked.

"Wait, you lock a window, but not your car doors?" William asked, earning a nudge from the boy sitting next to him.

"Yes, Grell. he said he was 'caught up with Sebastian'. And yes, Will. I lock my house but not my car."

"Good to know..."

"ANYWAYS, what happened next, Alley?"

"He told me that he liked him." I said with a scowl on my face, while the former red head gave me a sympathetic look. I saw Will's left eyebrow twitch. "He asked me what I should do, and I said to start texting the guy. So, of course, he was texting him all through the night." I shrugged. "That's it."

"I have a feeling this is about to get deep, so excuse me." Will said, picking up all the empty teacups and taking them to the kitchen.

After Will had left, Grell gave me a knowing look. "But that's not it, is it?"

"Hey! Don't use my own line on me!"

"Sorry! That's the only thing I could think of! Now spill!"

"Fine. I went to the bathroom and kind of sort of cried my eyes out and texted you. THAT'S IT." I said, tears threating to fall for the 2nd time that day. I sighed and sat next to Grell. "I just...I tried so hard to make Ciel notice me in that way, but I think I just pushed him more into his arms. And now the past keeps coming back to haunt me. I tried suppressing the memory, but ever since I came back here, I can't think about anything without it coming back. I'm scared, I'm tired, and I just don't know what to do anymore." I said, a couple tears slipping down my face.

Grell pulled me into his arms for the 2nd time, but this time I refused to cry. We just sat in a peaceful silence. After a while, he whispered,

"Does Sebastian have anything to do with your scary past?" I just nodded into his chest.

"What did he do to you?" I sat back and wiped my face.

"I will tell you when I feel ready to. It's all still to raw." He slowly nodded. Mentally shaking the day's events out my head, I leaned back and smirked at my friend.

"So, what's the update between you and William?"


ARG! Another cliffhanger, thingy! Don't worry, many more where that came from. *smirks* This chapter, I just wanted to focus on Alley ranting. The car scene was just the product of my late night writing and a random playlist. Will was just a tad OOC. But you have to admit, it was funny. Haha.

Like it? Hate it? LOVE it? LOVE ME? WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?! Leave a review...tehehe...

I'm going to try typing all the chapters on one day, and just sit down and release them one by one as days go by. Ya feel me? Like, I'm probably going to be busy today, so I typed this on Saturday. YOU'RE WELCOME.

We'll get through the rest of the school year, I promise! Just stay with me! Do you trust me? No? Smart person...

ANYWAYS, Don't forget the poll! GO VOTE. NOW.

SHOW ME SOME LOVE. Or don't. I just won't update...

Until next time, Cielois Shippers!
