Chapter 7
The next morning, Ally woke up at 5:30. She looked over at John, and he was still sound asleep. She rubbed her eyes and looked over at the clock. It was 5:32. She groaned softly and said, "Damn it. I had to have a freakin nightmare." She laid back down and a few minutes later she fell back asleep.
John woke up a few hours later. He sat up, yawned and stretched. He looked at the clock. It said 9:14. He got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, where he splashed cool water on his face. He dried it off, and walked to sit on the couch. The picked up the remote and started watching T.V. As he was flipping through the channels, he made sure the volume was low so he wouldn't wake Ally up. He finally found Spongebob and started watching that. He sat back and started to chuckle at the jokes on Spongebob. When the second episode had finished, Ally stirred and woke up.
She said groggily, "Morning John. How long have you been up?"
"Like 15 minutes. How'd you sleep?"
"Like hell. I had the worst dream ever last night."
"Wanna tell me about it?"
Ally began to tell him about her dream.
"Well, that doesn't mean that something bad's gonna happen though, right?"
"Yeah, but I can be a little psychic sometimes. Like in 5th grade, my drama teacher was gonna give out an award to the Outstanding Drama student. I kept dreaming, for a month, and it turned out that I got it."
"Okay, so you were psychic once. That still doesn't mean something bad might happen."
"Yeah, actually it does. I have a really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. You gotta believe me on this."
He walked over to the bed and sat right next to her. He kissed her forehead. "Don't worry. I ain't gonna let anything bad happen to you or me, aight? Now quit worrying, get dressed, and let's go downstairs for some grub."
"Okay." Ally got slowly out of bed. She went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on her face. She then started to change her clothes and put on her pink flip-flops. She got her room key, grabbed John's hand, and they went downstairs.
After breakfast, John and Ally went back to her room. The moment they walked into the room, the phone rang. She ran to get it.
She answered. "Hello?"
"Hello Ally."
"Hello Todd."
"Did you get my flowers?"
"Yeah actually I did. But-"
"Ally, you know we were meant to be together forever, right?"
"No, we weren't, and-"
"Yes we were. So why haven't you told me 'yes' yet?"
"Because Todd, I don't love you anymore. You hurt me, so I moved on. Why can' you do the same?"
"Ally, sweetheart, I made a mistake, and this is one mistake I can't get over, I want to fix it."
"Well Todd, I'm sorry, but sometimes you have to live with the mistakes you've made."
"Ally, I'm telling you this, we were meant to be together. And I'll do anything to make that come true. And I mean anything."
"Todd, now you listen to me-"
John grabbed the phone from her. "Listen to me jackass. You come anywhere near her or me, I swear I'll kick your ass. Got that?" Todd paused. "I said did you get that?"
"Yes, I did."
"Good, now leave us the hell alone. Get on with your life, and let Ally get on with hers."
"Don't worry. Oh, and by the way, I'd watch out for Mark Jindrak if I were you."
John was confused. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Todd hung up.
