Chapter 7 - Heartfelt emotions

Teddy and I were walking through a forest, chatting about each other. I learnt that he's one year older than me, likes cartoons (A/N fake info), and reading, sort of. Anyway, the more time I spent with him, the more I feel relaxed around him. The moonlight creates a pathway of light which shines on the pathway where we were walking. I felt sad and scared. I haven't heard from home for ages. My parents probably thought I've run away..

(meanwhile)

"What do you mean Alison's gone?" Mrs Fuller was screaming her head off. Mr Fuller was crying and Nicole and Nadine were sitting on the couch looking forlorn. Mrs Fuller broke down and cried. Nicole grabbed Nadine and began sobbing. Everyone was sobbing. Nicole tried to speak but stuttered , "Maybe it's because she... she... I don't know why she left. Why?" Everyone was miserable. Alison was miserable. She knew her parents were missing her and she missed them too. But she had to stay. And she doesn't know what's worse.

The fact that there's an empty hole in her heart that holds her friends and family...

Or that fact that if she dies in the war...

She'll never see them again.
