I'm going to try and finish this story before I finish my other one, so I'm going to finish this one as soon as I can! I hope you enjoy this one! Lalalalala... K bye!

Ali stopped right in her tracks when she saw the car. I stopped when I saw it too. Bi however continued walking, but stopped when she noticed we stopped.

"Guys?" She turned around and looked at us. Her face softened when she saw Ali's face. "Ali? Are you okay?" Ali's face was frozen on the car.

"It's her car…" She muttered quietly.

"Whose car?" Bi asked.

"What the hell is she doing here?" Ali muttered.

"Who is she?" Bi looked at me. I sighed.

"Ali's mom." I didn't even have to ask Ali. I've ridden in that car a lot. Okay, not a lot. The few times her mom would take us somewhere. I recognized the license plate that said "ANNEKA01" on it.

"You mean the one that…" Bi asked quietly.

"That's the one." I replied. I looked at Ali, who still hadn't taken her eyes off the car. "Ali..?" I slowly walked over to her and put my hand on her shoulder.

"That's really her car… Right?" She asked slowly. I nodded. She let out a breath. "Crap… I was hoping that wasn't the answer…"

"What do you wanna do?" I asked. She sighed heavily.

"Let's get this over with. Find out what she wants." And with that she walked towards the building. Bi and I shared a look, and followed her up the stairs.

As we got closer to the top, Ali slowed down. Once we got to the top of the stairs, we peered around the corner to see a middle aged woman leaning against the wall. She had the same blond curls as Ali did, but hers seemed to be filled with more grey hairs. Her make-up was perfect as always, and her outfit didn't have a wrinkle in it. She looked oddly tired though. Ali took a deep breath, and rounded the corner.

"Mom?" She asked, looking at her mother. Mrs. West picked up her head and smiled at her daughter.

"Alyssa! I thought I had the wrong apartment for-"

"What are you doing here?" Ali cut her off. Her mom sighed.

"Alyssa, sweetheart, I have to tell you something. I'd rather not do it in the hall." Ali nodded and opened the door, Mrs. West following, and the Bi and I walking in quietly behind her. Mrs. West looked at Bi with an odd look.

"And who are you?" Bi stuck out her hand.

"I'm Bianca. Ali and Kenzie's roommate." She smiled.

"Are you German?" Mrs. West asked. Bi frowned.

"No…"

"Italian?"

"No…"

"Where's your accent from?"

"Ireland…" Mrs. West nodded.

"I knew that all along. Just testing you." She smiled. Bi turned around and mouthed Is she serious? I shrugged.

"What do you need to tell me mom?" Ali looked at her mom. You could tell she was nervous.

"Alyssa, you're father and I are getting a divorce." The room went completely silent, so you could hear a pin drop. On a cushion. In a field. Ali looked on the verge of tears.

"Can we talk in private?" She managed to squeak. Her mom nodded and they walked into her room. Bi and I sat in silence for a while, then there was a knock at the door. I got up and answered it.

"Hey, how's it going?" Carlos smiled. Then he looked at my face, and then Bi's face. "What's going on?"

"Umm…" Bi and I exchanged a look.

"Guys? What's wrong?" Carlos looked concerned, like really concerned.

"Well… It's Ali…"

"What happened to Ali?" He looked plain worried now.

"Her mom is here." Bi said. Carlos looked shocked.

"Wait, the one who disowned her?"

"Do people think she has more than one mom?" I asked. Carlos gave a small smile, but then went serious again.

"What's her mom doing here?" I sighed.

"Her parents… are kinda separating." The second I said that, Ali came out of her room, and went straight out the door. Her mom came out slowly, gave us a nod, and walked out the door. We all stood in silence.

"I should go talk to her…" I said slowly and followed them out the door, leaving Bi and Carlos standing in silence. Ali wasn't in the hall, or on the stairs. I walked down some, and she still wasn't there. It wasn't until I got to the bottom that I saw her. She was sitting against the wall crying. Her mom's car was gone, and it was oddly quiet outside. I went and sat down next to her.

"Hey…" I said quietly. Ali sniffled.

"Hello." She replied.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah… No… I don't know…" She looked up. "Okay, she spends my whole life trying to act like a teenage drama queen instead of a mom, then she starts telling me I have to get married young to a rich guy so I never have to work, then she disowns me, has nothing to do with me for 2 years, and now she randomly comes into my life and drops this on me!" She said all in one breath. "It sucks." She sniffled.

"What did your mom say to you in private?"

"She started apologizing for being a terrible mom and how much she missed me and wanted me to help her out."

"What did you say?" She shook her head.

"I told her that I've lived that past two years without her or daddy, and it's been practically my whole life on my own." I looked at her in shock.

"What?" I looked at her.

"Yeah… You remember when we were in volleyball in freshman year?" I nodded. "Well, they didn't come to one game. Any picture I have from then was from your dad or some other mom. I remember when the team was taking pictures with their families, and I was just standing there. Your brother came over and got me, and had me be in your picture."

"Oh yeah! Didn't Carter give you bunny ears?" I laughed.

"Only because you gave them to Jeff." She smiled.

"I was getting them from Nick!" We sat there laughing at the memory.

"Ugh.. Let's go upstairs." She got up.

"Yeah… Carlos and Bi are probably worried out of their minds." She nodded. We walked through the door and she looked towards the mail boxes.

"We should probably check that sometime…" She pointed out.

"I checked it yesterday." I told her.

"Yes, but mail does this thing where it comes everyday…" She smiled.

"Ah, but no post on Sundays." I smiled.

"Okay, you're a total dork. You need to stop reading Harry Potter!" She laughed. Yay! I made her laugh. She opened the mail box and made a noise.

"What?" I asked her.

"I forgot this came out today…" She held up the newest issue of J-14. I groaned too.

"Let's see what they said about us…" I smiled fakely. She gave me the same fake smile. She pulled open the table of contents.

"Let's see… Justin Bieber… Justin Bieber… Hunger Games… Miley Cyrus…. One Direction… Ah! Big Time Rush. Page 24…" She flipped through the pages until she landed on 24. The page was titled:

Big Time Boys, Single or Not?

Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos Pena, and Logan Henderson. Girls dream about dating these heart throbs all the time, but are they already taken? None have been confirmed, but check out our interview with them on Saturday, May26 on our website!

"So, they didn't really say much…" Ali muttered.

"No, but you gotta wonder what's gonna come out in this interview… " I replied. We both shrugged and headed upstairs. Before we walked inside, Ali gave me a hug.

"What was that for?" I laughed.

"Thanks. I love you so much!" She smiled at me.

"It's no problem." I smiled and we walked through the door. Carlos got up from his chair and Bi looked concerned.

"Hey! Is everything alright?" Bi asked. Ali nodded.

"Yeah… Sorry about storming out like that. I just needed some air…" Carlos got up and gave her a hug.

"I really wish I could stay, but I gotta run. We have to film an interview… I'll call you later?" She nodded and he kissed her good-bye. "See you ladies later!" He waved at us and walked out the door. Bi walked up to Ali.

"Are you alright?" She asked sympathetically. Ali just nodded.

"Yeah I'll be fine. I just need some time." Bi nodded.

"Well, we're here for ya, sweetie." I smiled at her.

"Thanks you guys. You're sweet." I smiled at her. Then my phone buzzed on the counter.

"Let me guess, it's either Carter, Jeff, Nick, or Logan." Ali smiled at me.

"Okay, one, my brothers never text me." I laughed. "and two, what makes you think it's Logan? I have other friends!" I smirked.

"Yeah, half of which are in this room." Bi laughed.

"You two suck. You really do." I laughed.

"Okay, now who is it!" Ali smiled.

"None of your business." I stuck out my tongue.

"Please….?" They said in unison. I sighed.

"Fine." I shook my head, and picked up my phone. "Yeah it was Logan." They smiled.

"What's he texting you about now?" Bi smirked.

"Nothing really. He's just bored." I smiled. "The interview doesn't start for another 20 minutes." Ali rolled her eyes.

"Boys." She laughed.
