"hi.."austin said awkwardly coming over to me.

"hi.." I mocked. Austin laughed a little.

"so fourth of july is tomorrow and my mom is having a big barbecue with all the neighbors and well your a neighbor so I was wondering if you would maybe wanna stop by?"Austin offered.

"wow?its july third already?June went my fast, soon enough I will have to go back to New York." I whistled.

"yea, so you coming or not?"Austin said. I nodded.

"sure."I said.

"so have you talked to your mom?"Austin I got out of the hospital yesterday I spent the night in Austins house. (I was sleeping in Quinns room. NOT austins, y'all have dirty minds)

because that.. thing.. was staying in my house.

I sighed.

"no."

"your gonna have to."Austin said. I nodded.

"I know, but not now, Im still mad that she allowed that disrespectful man come into the house, how can she even forgive him?"

"blinded by love, my friend."Austin said in a british accent. I Sighed.

"sadly."I shook my head.

"anyway I better get home." I said picking up the book I was reading.

"is your d-"

"lester."I corrected.

"lester, Isn't he in your house?"Austin asked. I nodded.

"yep, but whatever I will stay in my room for the rest of the day so I wont encounter him or my mom."

"what if your hungry?"Austin challenge.

"then you will throw me food across from your window." I joked. Austin laughed.

"bye friend." I waved.

"bye."he said. I got up from the bench and we went our separate ways.

After a few seconds of walking I heard foot steps behind me.

"Austin I thought you had to go to the- Nash?"

"h-hey Ally."Nash said awkwardly.

"h-hi" I said. I looked down.

"how are you?"he asked. I shrugged.

"fine I guess. you?" I said.

"same." he said.

"well I better get home." I said not wanting to continue this conversation.

"wait Ally."he grabbed my wrist.

"I'm sorry for avoiding this past week"Nash apologized.

"Its fine."I said. "why did you avoid me anyway?" I asked.

"because of Austin." I made an 'o' face.

"you shouldn't hang out with him."Nash warned. I got taken back.

"and why not?" I said.

"hes trouble,the other day I caught him in the alley sniffing cocaine with a group of people."Nash said. How could he lie like that.

"your lying." I said. he shook his head.

"nope." He said popping the 'p'

"stop trying to make yourself look innocent, I know what you did to Austin it was not cool." I said.

"what did I do?"He said playing dumb.

"Miranda, Austins ex cheated on him with you."I said.

"I dont remember that."He said. I rolled my eyes.

"whatever I have to go." I said. What a jerk!

"I warning you ally." I heard him shout down the block "HES TROUBLED!"He shouted. I ignored him and turned the corner.


"get over here."my mother said once I walked through the front door. I set my book down and walked over to her.

"I think you owe your father an apology."My mother said. I looked at her then Lester. I didnt have the right words to say so I just settled with

"I dont have a father."

"yes you do, and he's sitting right here waiting for you to apologize."My mother said. I shook my head.

"you cant pay me a million dollars to apologize to him."I said. My mother sighed at looked at me with disappoint.

"lester, lets go."my mother said.

"wait!" I stopped. My mother turned to me, lester looked at me hoping for an apology well he wasnt gonna get one.

"why you here?" I said looking directly at lester.

"to make things right."He answered.

"to make what right?"

"this family."he said.

"were fine." I said.

"but you need a father figure, right?"

"no." I said. "I gave myself everything a father should give their child." I said.

"why do You want to make things right?why 6 years later?" I said.

"because I didn't realize how Much I loved you and your mom until last week."He said.

"bull shit!You dont love me, you dont love my mom you here for something else. what you want?money?a place to stay?" I said.

"I dont want money, I just want your forgiveness."

"well your not getting it" I snapped.

"Ally!why are you acting like this!"

'how can you forgive him!"I shouted.

"he left us!he told us he loved us, but It was all a lie. For a year straight he was having sex with some slut behind our back!Your the dumb one that forgave him.!" I shouted.

"go to your room."my mother said. I didnt move.

"Now!"she shouted. I looked at lester. I shook my head and stomped up the stairs slamming the door. I was panting hard and I couldn't stop.

I decided to let my anger out by writing music. I walked over to the piano and stared at the keys. I cracked my knuckles then started playing a tune.

"I will not make, the same mistakes that you did." I sang.. I stopped playing. a moment later I played again

I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you

Because of you

I sang finishing the song. I sighed and covered the keys.

"I heard."Austin said through his window.

"everything?" I said biting my lip. He nodded. I sighed.

"I just cant believe him, how...how can he just walk out of my life and then come back as if I would forgive him right away and do as he says."

"I know how you feel."Austin said. I nodded thinking of the day that Austins dad came.

"your strong."Austin said. "dont let this situation get to you."Austin said.

"I know, but its not just that either I have other problems too." I said.

"like?"Austin said.

"Nash." I said. Austin gripped the railing.

"what about Nash?"He said through his teeth.

"we talked." His jaw clenched.

"about."

"you." I said.

"why is my name coming out of your mouth!"He snapped.

"Austin." I said softly.

"calm down." I said. He looked at me with pain in his eyes and loosened his grip on the railing.

"sorry, what about me?"Austin asked.

"he said you were in the Alley the other day..Doing cocaine."I said.

"hes lying.. I smoke weed, I admit, but I dont do Cocaine."Austin said.

"I know, I believe you." I said. I left out the part about Miranda because I didnt want to get him mad.

"is that all?"He asked.I nodded.

"Im tired."Austin said a few seconds later. I laughed.

"then go to sleep." I said.

"ok"Austin yawned. I laughed

"sweet dreams." I said.

"sweet dreams." He said back. He closed his window quietly and his curtain. I did the same.
