Later in the morning, Drake was trying to wake me up but I wouldn't budge. I was woken up twice last night well this morning and I wasn't a very happy person. And on top of all of that, my parents were getting divorced and yet they wouldn't tell Tyler or I about it.
"Allie, you need to wake up." Drake told me, rubbing my shoulder lightly.
"Not gonna happen," I mumbled, turning back over.
"Please?"
"No," I said.
"For me?" he tried. Tempting… but no.
"No."
"Allie, I know that you are upset and everything, but you can't stay up here forever," he said to me. I sat up and faced him.
"Yes I can. I can and I will," I replied.
"Be logical here," he said to me.
"I am. And I decided to stay up here for the rest of my life,"

Well, Drake finally got me downstairs this morning. I was now in the tree house in the backyard. It was past 7:30 at night and the sky was pitch black. I can hear the laughter inside of the house and I cried. I just wish everything were back to the way it used to be.
Someone climbed up into the tree house and sat beside me. I turned and saw Drake. "Hey," he said.
"Hey," I replied, sniffing back some of my tears.
"Come here baby girl," he replied. He pulled me closer to him and put his arm around me. "It's okay to cry, you know,"
"I know," I answered. "It's just so hard, you know?"
"Yeah." I buried my head in his shoulder. He kissed the top of my head and I sighed. I just wished that everything would go back to the way that it was supposed to be. Me and my brother getting along (kinda), my parents still together and me not having feelings for Drake. But I knew that nothing would ever go back to normal. The way that everything was supposed to be.
"I'll be right back," I said, getting out of Drake's grip. It was freezing cold outside and I had forgotten my jacket.
"Where you going?" he asked me.
"Just to go and get my jacket. It's pretty cold out here," I answered.
"Here," he said, slipping out of his jacket and handing it to me. "Use mine,"
"You sure?" I asked him. "It's pretty cold out here,"
"Yeah. I'm positive. I'm not that cold anyway,"
"Um… okay," I replied. I took the jacket from him and slipped it on. It was a bit big, but kept me warm. It was still warm in the inside from his body heat. I sighed. It even smelled like him. Well, it is his jacket, after all. "Thanks," I smiled.
"No problem. Anything to make you happy. Now get back over here," he said, pointing to the spot next to him. I smiled and sat next to him, his arm going around me once again.
"Thanks for being there for me today. It's just going to get worse when they tell us tomorrow once most of my family leaves," I said. The only people that will still be here will be Adam and Drake of course, Josh, Caitlin, and Jessica.
"I will be here for you through all of this. No matter what. I promise you that," he replied. "I love you," he said to me. WHAT?
"What?" I asked him in shock. Did I just hear that correctly? Did Drake just tell me that he loves me.
"I love you. You know, how Adam loves you… am I scaring you?"
"N-no," I replied. I smiled at him. "You're not," I said, leaning back up against him. "And I love you too."
I wasn't really ready to admit it, but I did love him. And not in the way that Adam loves me. In the way that Adam loves Drake. So I guess that I could finally admit it. I was in love with Drake… oh crap.
Sorry. I didn't want to end this chapter right here, but I wanted to because of what just happened. The next chapter will also be short (I think) because it was supposed to go with this one.
