Flashbacks & Fatal Deaths
Chapter 9: Memory Lane
Ally's P.O.V :
*Beginning of Flashback*
October 20th 2007, Age 10, Allyson Marie Dawson,
"Mom? Where are we going?"
"Ill tell you when we get there."
"But MOM it's my birthday I wanna know!"
"You'll know when we get there, now get in the car sweetie."
We were fairly close to Aunt Josephina's house. She had this HUGE mansion which I ALWAYS wanted my birthday party in. I never had a 10th birthday you can saw because of that days tragic accident. I guess she finally trusted me enough to bring me and my other friends to her house for my birthday. She never trusted us because we were rowdy, she was afraid that we would break her sister's Precious China. I never knew where we were going because of the accident and all, but I was pretty sure it was to Aunties house. Dad never told me because he SWORE never to talk about my mom again. As long as he lived. It just brought back the memories. We lost contact of all her side relatives, except for her other sister Delilah, which we talk to over the phone, Rarely, but on occasions we do.
*End of Flashback*
I was tossing and turning in bed all night, of course I couldn't sleep with that flashback/nightmare haunting me. I couldn't take it, I woke up at 5:00 am and walked over to the bathroom to get ready like a normal weekday, only it wasn't a week day… It was Sunday. I groaned as I brushed my teeth weakly and took a shower. After that I dried off and put on a pair of jeans with a gray and aqua striped shirt. Different… I held my hair up in a pony – tail and took a walk down memory lane. I walked past the park, good times, our old house where our mom used to live in with us, then I walked past Aunt Josephina's old house, which was pretty old now over the 5 years I haven't seen it. I didn't feel like waking anybody for a simple hello or a walk down memory lane, so I didn't knock to see if Josephina was even still living there. I REALLY wanted to wake Austin and my dad but that would break Memory lane and their beauty sleep. So I climbed the old oak tree near Austin's house and just sat there. It actually was part of my memory lane because I used to climb it all the time, plus Austin's house used to my grandma's house, before she moved. But Grammy's still alive! I started to come up with random lyrics as I sat in the tree. Conveniently I had my songbook/Diary/Journal in my bag so I took it out and started to write….
I took a walk down memory lane
Where everything looked quite the same,
People smiled people waved,
Someone interrupted my train of thought as they started to climb up the tree. It was a tall shadowy figure, It was dark so I couldn't figure out who it was, until they started to get closer, and closer, climbing up the tree fast, but not too fast.
"Ally, what are you doing here at this time of night?" the figure said while yawning.
"Well, Austin, I couldn't sleep. So I took a walk…."
"Cool but you do know it's like 5:30 at night and you're awake, walking alone, at night, in a tree, next to my house? You could of just woken me up."
"How by throwing pebbles at your window like I'm Romeo and you're Juliet?"
"Sure why not."
"Oh Austin, The tree is part of my walk. I'm just…. Taking a break… yeah…"
"Ally, does this tree mean something to you?"
"Nope just a tree conveniently placed next to your house that I just happened to stop by!"
"Ally…. We can do this the easy way…. Or the Austin way."
"And the Austin way doesn't sound AS scary to me as it should sound but hey…. It's just me."
"Austin's way it is." He held me in his arms, still in the tree, placed me on his lap, and started to say
"Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally, Allyson, Allyson, Allyson, Allyson-"
"Yes Austin…?"
"What does this tree mean to you?" he asked with puppy dog eyes.
"You wanna know?"
"Yes."
"You REALLLLY wanna know?"
"YES YES YES!"
"It's part of Memory Lane."
"I get you, I take walks down memory lane too, just not all the time."
"Im going to finish a song if you don't mind…" I took out my book and looked at him, hoping he would take the hint, before I would have to say 'DON'T TOUCH MY BOOK!"
"Ok, I get it, 'Don't touch My Book,' It's alright… Bye!"
"Bye…" Then when he was out of my line of sight I started to write,
I took a walk down memory lane
Where everything looked quite the same
People smiled people waved
They told me 'bout the road they paved
As I walked down memory lane
As I walked down memory lane
People sobbed people cried
Told me 'bout the day they died
As I walked down memory lane
As I walked down memory lane
Everything looked quite the same
People joked and people laughed
Told me 'bout their chosen path
As I walked down memory lane
As I walked down memory lane
Everything looked quite the same
People told me 'bout their fame
How I must remember their name
As I walked down memory lane
I got the long-term memory loss
I got that long-term memory loss
I got that long-term memory loss
I started watchin, I got involved
I got that long-term memory loss
