Hey everyone! So I'm really excited for the end of this story, there's a little bit of twists in here and I hope you guys didn't guess it first...

Make sure to read my note at the end!
ANYWAYS, Enjoy!
~Alois P.O.V
I woke up early Monday morning. I knew something was wrong when I opened my eyes. There was too much natural light in the room to be my cramped bedroom. The material I was on was much softer and more comfortable than my old mattress. I tried moving, but there was something pushing down on my shoulder. I moved my side back and forth to identify the object, not really wanting to wake up just yet. 'It feels like some kind of links...chains?' That thought instantly brought back dreadful memories, and I went into a silent panic. I hastily turn onto my other side, causing whatever what was on my shoulder to shift. Seeing nothing but black on the new side made me scream internally. I started squirming to tried and shake the object off of me, when the black mass I was staring at started to shift. I stopped and started at the object, my mind stuck between curiosity and fear.
The thing started shaking, revealing a face. I heaved a sigh of relief. "Hey," I whispered. "Where are we?"
"We're in your master bedroom, darling." Grell said, pushing his jet black hair out his face.
"Okay...why?"
"Will and I thought you looked so lonely when you slept, curled up under that excuse of a comforter. So we brought you in here." He smiled, like watching people sleep was normal and encouraged.
I looked at the "chains" to find that they were Grell and Will's arms linked together over me. I smiled devilishly at the former red head, glancing between him and his intertwined fingers laying on my shoulder.
"We just thought you'd be cold, alright?!" I just snickered. Grell took his hand out of the other mans and rolled off the king bed. "Let's just get ready for school." I rolled off after him and made my way to the other side of the bed.
"Will looks so peaceful when he's sleeping." I playfully waved a hand in front of his oblivious face.
"He does, doesn't he?" Grell whispered behind me, hoping I wouldn't hear. I did, of course, and snapped my head back towards him so fast it hurt. I ran up and squeezed him. "Just admit it! You like him!"
"Can you hush?! He's going to hear you!" The slightly taller boy whispered harshly at me.
"Oh, calm down!" I said, skipping back over to the bed.
"Alley, what are you-"
"Shhh!" I leaned over the still sleeping Will. "William, if you heard what Grelly and I were talking about, wake up~" Nothing.
I turned around to the currently worried boy. "See he didn't hear anything!"
"Yes I did." I spin around to see William sitting up in the bed, adjusting his glasses. "I heard everything, to be honest." and with that, he got off of the bed, smoothed out his resting spot, and walked past the other two baffled boys in the room. After regaining our still slightly surprised composures, Grell and I start to get prepared for school.
XxxxxxxxxX
"Oh, yeah! I have to give the missing homework to Ciel-" I say, but stop at the mention of that name. Ciel. The blur of a weekend comes back to me in a flash: all the eating out, all the ice cream and sad movies, having guests over for the first time in forever. All because I was pushing the thought of him dating that thing out. "My Ciel." I whispered, feeling water start to brim my eyes. As Grell approaches me, I shake my head violently. "I'm fine." The rest of the morning is silent as the three of us dress for school.
'So he's really not showing up.' was all I could think about going through the school day. 'Where is he? What's he doing right now? Is Sebastian even treating him right? What if Ciel's in danger?' I shook the latter thought out my head. As the last bell rang, there was only question on my mind.
'When is he coming back?'
I don't see the blunette for weeks after that, and after ranting to Grell and spamming Ciel's phone nonstop, I finally get him to come over to my house.
"Hey, Ciel! Where have you been?" I said, inviting him inside.
"Places. What do you want?" Did he just...snarl at me?
"I was wondering if you would like to hang out with Grell, William and I sometime. Ya know, to catch up." the boy in front of me looks unamused.
"Gross. Why would I want to hang out with that thing and it's little play toy?"
"Okay, seriously, what's with you?" I said. I can't believe my Ciel was saying such things. Must be works of that demon.
"What's up with me? What's up with you!" He exclaimed. "Where were you when I actually needed you? Hanging out with those weirdos blowing money on burritos. You can be such a child sometimes."
"Look, I don't know what Sebastian is doing to you, but he's changing you and I don't like it. We were best friends until-"
"We were best friends. People change, Alois! That's what you don't understand. Sebastian and I have changed, and so have you. You moved on to hang out with them, and I found Sebastian. I don't need anyone else, especially people who don't support my choices."
"Sebastian is not the one for you! You don't realize that! He's a bad person, and he's just going to take advantage of you, then-"
"Don't talk like you know him!"
"But I do! I knew him in middle school, too! Or did you forget I was even there?"
"You know what, I don't need this." Ciel said, turning towards the door.
"Have you ever stopped for once and thought that there could possibly be someone out there that has liked you longer?" I yelled out of frustration, which was a bad idea. He surprisingly snapped his whole body around, marched over to me and shoved me to the ground. Towering over me, he shouted,
"The only person I will ever need is Sebastian! He understands me and supports my life choices, unlike you! The past few months made me realize exactly why people talk about you. You're nothing but a selfish, dirty whore that always needs to be in the spotlight. You created a sob story for yourself, beat yourself to make it seem legit, and moved away for 3 bloody years to top it off!"
"You don't believe me?!" I yelled. This was all too much to take in. Ciel doesn't believe me.
"Of course not! Who would believe such an outrageous story like that?! Raped and beaten." He scoffed. "You're incredible. You're nothing but scum, that's all you'll ever be, and you as a person disgust me. Don't ever come near me or contact me again." he turned and walked out my door, slamming it in the process.
All I can do is stare at the door. I feel paralyzed, to put it lightly. My loves mean words replay in my mind as tears start to blur my vision. It all just feels like a horrid nightmare. I ran upstairs and into my room, throwing myself onto my bed as I started to cry.
'Why don't you love me, Ciel?' was my last thought before I cried myself to sleep.
Woop, there it is.
Very long chapter. I had the latter part already typed, but I needed a sort of filler intro that kind of was longer than I planned...
