When she got to Scott's house she knocked on the door and waited for an answer, she knew he would be there, even though he only left a minute or two before she did, he was much faster then her. By the time his mother answered the door she felt like she was about to cry again.
"Ms. McCall... is Scott here?" She said, her voice breaking as she tried to hold back her tears tears. Melissa could see the sadness in Allison's eyes and could hear her voice breaking, nodding she stepped aside letting the young girl in. "He's up stairs, but I don't know if he's awake yet."
Allison walked inside the familiar house, looking around as she made her way to the stairs. "Thank you." She whispered as the tears began to spill over, quickly walking up not wanting to explain why she was so upset. She didn't know that his mom knew that he was a werewolf, or that her family were hunters, or anything that had to do with myths and legends was real; and she didn't want to be the one to tell her. Last night was the first time her and Scott had talked, really talked, since the night of the rave, and with everything that was going on, the subject hadn't come up.
When Allison reached Scott's bed room she could hear running water. Great. She thought, he's in the shower, when I need him most. She decided to sit on the bed and wait for him to get out, crying and hugging herself.
Hearing Allison cry, Melissa went up stairs and sat on the bed next to the her, putting an arm around the weeping girl hoping to comfort her. "Do you want to talk about it with me until he comes out?"
Allison opened her mouth as though she was about to say something, then closed her mouth again and shook her head. "Thank you but no."
"Allison, I know. About all of it, and I'm okay with it. So if you ever want to talk, I'm here."
She looked at her boyfriends mother a little surprised for a moment before leaning on her shoulder crying, she quickly filled her in on what had happened last night and this morning, by the time she had finished Scott was turning the water off.
Melissa held her close, "Scott's right. Everything you did, it was because you thought it was the right thing at the time. And this morning, your dad was only looking out for you, that's what parents do, we look out for our kids and we do anything and everything we can to make sure they stay safe. Just calm down and when you go home, talk to him, calmly. Okay?"
Allison nodded, Scott walking out just in time to hear the end of what his mother was saying, a towel around his waist and water dripping off of him. Taking a seat next to Allison on the bed, he took her hand in his, interlocking their fingers.
"My mom's right, just stay here for a while until you calm down, then talk to him, let him know how you feel."
"Okay, I know, your right. Calm down, then talk to him." She started crying again, wrapping her arms around him and pulling him into a tight hug, not caring that he was getting her wet.
"Shh, sh, your okay." he said softly holding her and gently rubbing her back.
His mother stood up, "I'll leave you two alone for a little while." she said as she went back down stairs.
"Allison, its okay, just calm down and talk-"
"No. No, its not that anymore."
"Then what?" he asked genuinely confused.
"I just... I miss my mom... talking to your mom reminded me of her. You know, the old her, before she went crazy. She use to be like that."
"Well, your welcome to come here and borrow my mom any time you'd like."
That made her laugh, and Scott couldn't help but smile hearing her laugh. "I'm going to go get dressed, I'll be right back."
Getting up he grabbed some clothes from a drawer, a baby blue t-shirt, some jeans, and a gray hoodie; then head for the bathroom.
"Scott, you can change out here. It's not like I haven't seen it before." Now it was Scott's turn to laugh,
"Good point." He said laughing, then put his clothes on and sat back down next to her, putting his arms around her and laying down.
"Scott, I'm really tiered. If I fall asleep, you promise you won't leave?"
"Yes, its my house remember?"
"Yea, I'm so use to you being at my house lately I forgot."
"Its okay," he smiled at her, "just go to sleep Allison, you need it."
Nodding she curled up and to his arms and slowly fell asleep, smiling.
