Chapter 9: the kitchen. Allison
Allison dug threw the cabinets looking for something to eat. She knew that there was captain crunch somewhere. "Poor Claire." She thought. Her face was swollen and puffy today. She was going to freak when she saw it in the mirror.
"I think john loves her, really loves her." Brian's voice interrupted her thoughts. "I mean did you see him. I didn't think he could be like that."
"Like what." Alison questioned.
"So caring, gentle. I think he loves her." Brian smiled softly. " is she really alright."
"I think so. Allison started. But it was pretty scarey I am sure." She looked around for Andrew. He had walked outside and was looking up at the sky. She went to join him.
"What if I hadn't gotten there in time. Andrew started. What if we had never have talked last Saturday. I may never have stopped it. What if. . . "Allison cut him off.
"Stop with the what if's. the important thing is that you did stop it. You did save her. I am so proud of you for that." She put her arms around him.
"You are proud of me, for what doing the right thing?"
"Hey some guys may not have, you even said so yourself, what if you didn't know her. It was brave of you to help her. That thinking for yourself thing is really working out isn't it." She smiled.
"Oh man, I never went home last night, my dad is going to kill me. We were supposed to train this morning." Andrew put his hand over his face.
"Hey, I skipped out on detention, I am going to be in trouble too!" Brian's voice came out to them. Allison looked over at him smiling.
"And what a brave thing for you to do, being there for your friends." She added.
"Hey, I just hope you guys would do the same for me." He said reaching for the captain crunch.
