Ally's boss in this is faced by Nathaniel Buzolic :P I just love him!

Here's chapter 12.

Chapter 12

Ally hadn't left the house all day or answered her phone to anyone that called, even though she knew she needed to talk with her dad about the new job. So she decided she'd call him, as she waited on him picking up and looked around her bedroom.

"Ah, Ally I was just going to call you" Her dad's voice said.

"Yeah, I just decided to call you first, you know, uh get it out of the way" She said her voice dull.

"Are you feeling okay sweetie? You don't sound like yourself" He said.

"I'm fine" She lied, she wasn't fine, anything but fine.

"So you'll start work tomorrow morning at nine, you'll meet Daryl, who's the company's boss, you'll do fine okay?" He said.

"Sounds good" She said, her voice was filled with boredom, she didn't feel like doing anything, she felt like just staying in her house. She moved around the room. "I'll see you later"

"Well, I'll give you a call tomorrow and see how everything goes on your first day"

"Okay" She said.

"Love you Ally"

"Love you dad" She said and hung up, she sat down on the bed and looked around her room again, the necklace sitting on the bedside table seemed to draw her attention and she looked over to it and scowled. She moved from the bed and the room. She went down the stairs and her house phone began beeping. She scowled and pressed the button.

"Ally, it's Laurel, please, please answer the phone we need to talk! Okay you're my best friend and what-" Laurel's voice began but Ally pressed the button and deleted the message. She then listened to the other one.

"Ally, what happened tonight was a mistake okay? It didn't mean to happen and I just want you to know that I-" Oliver's voice said. Ally heaved a sigh before pressing the delete button. There was more messages and she didn't even bother to listen to them, she just deleted them and moved from the living room into the kitchen.

It was hard for her to think that her best friend could do something like this to her, especially knowing that Ally had been there for her, so now when she needed her best friend the most, she couldn't go to her, she now had nobody to turn too.

The next day, Ally stared at herself in the mirror as she fixed her make-up which barely hid the bags under eyes, which were due to the lack of sleep and soreness of her rubbing them because of the tears. She no longer felt sorry for herself or even angry at them, she was sad and not herself and if anything she felt numb, even this job wasn't getting her nerves up, she'd hardly ate in the last two day's, mostly drinking coffee to keep herself awake. She brushed a strand of hair from her pale face as she finished off her mascarra.

Ally stood up, fixing her black pencil studded dress and glancing at it in the mirror, she needed to look smart and respectible because she didn't want to end up in the same situation as last time. She slipped her heels on and quickly went down the stairs, she picked up her phone, seeing there was at least 10 missed calls, 6 voicemails and 4 texts. She shoved it into her bag along with her purse as she grabbed her keys.

She unlocked the front door and stepped outside into the bright sunlight which stung her chocolate orbs due to not being out for a few days. She locked the door and moved to her car getting in and heaving a sigh as she started the enguine up. She drove in the directions her father had given her the night before, she almost choked when she seen that it was just down the street from Oliver's club.

She stopped the car and her eyes darted around finally landing on Oliver, Tommy and Laurel. She groaned, and mentally slapped her father in the face, though of course he didn't know about what had happened to she couldn't really blame him. She got out the car and tried to not be noticed, by them and luckily they didn't notice her at all as she entered the building.

She walked up to the reception desk and waited until the red headed pretty girl came off the phone.

"Hello" She said politley.

"Hi, I'm Alliso-"

"Oh. Mr. James will be with you in a moment Miss Greyson" She smiled.

"Thank you"

"If you have a seat right over-" She began but was cut off.

"Ah, Miss Greyson am I right?" A accented voice asked and she turned her head her eyes landing on a handsome man probably no older than herself "I'm Zach James"

"Allison" She said with a smile "No..Ally" She corrected.

"Right this way, Ally" He said "I've got your office already"

She smiled brightly, though the smile didn't even meet her eyes as she followed him into the elevator.

"You don't seem nervous" He said.

"I'm not" She replied. "You're not from here are you?"

"No, I'm from Sydney, Austrailia"

"I've always wanted to go there" Ally smiled this time the smile was genuine.

"I could always take you for a visit" He smiled and she let a laugh escape her lips.

"I'd enjoy that" She said.

"Right this way" He said and the two walked out of the elevator.

"I'd like to thank you for giving me the job, I don't know how to repay you" She said.

"How about lunch?" He said with a smirk.

She smiled "Why not?" She shrugged.

"Good, your office is right in there, your father explained that you were quite high up in your last job, and since your father and I seem to get on quite well we both agreed on giving you this office, which is right down the hall from mine. So if you need anything, let me know and I'll be there"

She smiled "Thank you" She smiled.

"Now, Lunch, the resteraunt down the street does good food, how-"

"Anywhere is fine, Sir"

"Zach" He said and put his hand out. SHe took it but he didn't shake it like she thought he would, he kissed the top of it. "I'll see you at lunch"

She flushed as he walked off and she stared after him, visibly shaking herself she entered the office and smiled, she felt right at home, like a part of her had been given back to her.

When the clock struck 12, Zach entered her office and leaned in the doorway "I see you've settled in" He smiled.

"Uh, yeah" She said getting up.

"Shall we?" He asked.

"Yes, we shall" She said and the two walked out of her office.

They walked out of the building and Ally went to go to her car "Where are you going?"

"Uh-" She began.

"It's this way"

"We're walking?" She asked.

"It's only down there" He said and she laughed.

"Right" She nodded, the feeling of sickness feeling come over her as they walked.

Inside the club, it was Laurel who noticed her across the street, Tommy was busy cleaning something up on the phone. She knew she should feel awkward around Oliver but she didn't because they had both agreed it was a mistake and shouldn't have happened. Laurel loved Tommy and Tommy loved her, and as far as she knew Oliver loved Ally.

"Oliver" She said and he turned to her. She nodded to across the street and Oliver turned to see what she was motioning at and his heart began to speed up, it was as if she was more beautiful than the last time he seen her, which hadn't ended well. The vivid image of her face, the tears and quite clearly the sadness etched her features. It was then that he noticed the man beside her and he couldn't help but feel the pang of jealousy surge through him. "Should we-"

"No" He said shaking his head and made his way to his office, when he got there he went to the window, watching carefully and she turned her head, and even though she could barley see him, their eyes seemed to meet and with that she turned away, and continued walking.

He'd messed up, badly but he needed to make it right, he instantly pulled out his phone and called Diggs.

Ally was sitting, the two had just finished their lunch "If you'll excuse me a moment" Zach said to her and she nodded and he walked off to the restroom and just then a figure sat down in front of her and her eyes widened but they went to normal when she noticed it was Diggs but then she became irriated.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"No hello? Ally that's rude" he said with a smile.

"Seriously, Diggs what are you doing here?"

"Who's the guy?"

"he's my new boss" She said "Why?"

"Just curious"

"Why are you here?"

"To talk to you-"

"Did Oliver send you?" She asked, more like hissed.

"no of course not I seen you come in"

"liar" She said making a face.

"He just wants to make things right, he's afraid that-"

"Afriad of what?"

"Losing you" Diggs said and Ally scowled.

"He already did" She spat.

"Ally-"

"If he sent you here to make it up to me, just so I won't tell his little secret, you don't need to worry about it. I'm not that cold, but I want nothing more to do with him Diggs"

"Ally that's not why I'm here" he said "I'm here as a friend"

"Diggs" She began and smiled softly, she grabbed his hand "You don't have to do anything"

"I want to" He said.

"Thank you but-"

"Ally, please just meet him, he'll-"

"No" She said.

"Ally, please"

"Diggs I can't" She said shaking her head sadly.

"Are you afriad?"

"No"

"Then why can't you?"

"Because I can't" She said shrugging and he noticed the tears brimming her eyes but they didn't fall over, her voice cracked as she spoke. "I can't forgive this"

"Ally-"

"I need to give you something" Ally said, and her voice was now cold and hard and Diggs noticed it, and it didn't seem right. She pulled out a chain from her purse and handed it to him. He stared down at the necklace she'd handed him, the heart with the arrow, the one he'd seen Oliver buy.

He looked back at her, confused "What do I-"

"Give it back to Oliver" She said, her eyes were distant and also cold.

"Ally he told me what happened and seeing you the way you were it upset him" Diggs said.

"Just give it back to him Diggs" She said folding her arms.

"Ally-" He began.

"Diggs, Please" she said, her voice was pleading. "Please do this for me, I've never asked you for anything...so please"

He nodded "Okay"

"Thank you"

"I'll see you" he said and stood up.

She grabbed his hand before he could go anywhere "Thank you"

He smiled at her sadly and gave her a nod before leaving, he walked quickly down the path and into the club, seeing Laurel leaving and Tommy talking on the phone. Diggs made his way up to Oliver's office and knocked twice before entering.

Oliver looked up from his papers before standing, Diggs merley shook his head and put his hand out. Oliver, confused, put his hand out too and Diggs let the necklace fall into Oliver's palm. Oliver stared at it before looking back at Diggs.

"He's just her new boss" Diggs said.

"Right" Oliver said.

"I'll call if I hear anything, or call me if you need anything else" Diggs said and with that he left Oliver standing alone in the office, his blue eyes trailed back to the necklace he'd given Ally and he stared at it, his eyes glistend as he looked up and out the window. He didn't know how to fix this, he'd messed up and he needed to fix it. He HAD to fix it.

He moved over to the window and his eyes trailed the brunette, his Ally, and he watched her walk with the man beside her. She didn't look up this time, but kept her eyes straight forward but he could see the pained expression on her face although she was hiding it with a smile. Oliver knew her better than that and he had to fix it, and as he thought an idea popped into his mind and with that he called Laurel.

Ally was sitting in her office, working away when a knock on her door caught her attention and she looked up, seeing the smiling redhead she'd spoken with earlier named Rosie.

"Hello Miss Greyson" She said.

"Ally" She corrected her.

"There's a visitor here to see you" Rosie said.

"Oh?" Ally asked and without thinking, she moved from behind the desk and when her eyes landed on Oliver, when he entered the room, she mentally high fived her face. She folded her arms as Rosie walked off and she stared at him in surprise, for a minute. "What do you want?" Her voice was hard and Oliver didn't like the way it sounded at all.

"To fix things" Oliver said.

"There's nothing to fix, Queen, so if you don't mind I'm working" She said.

"Ally please, will you jut listen" Laurel said and Ally heaved a sigh.

"You have five seconds, and I'm calling security" She said.

"What happened with Laurel and I, it was an accident" He said and she scoffed.

"An accident? So what you just fell into each other? Yeah..okay. Goodbye" She said

"I need to fix it" he said and she looked at him.

"No You don't. I don't want to hear it, I believed you when I shouldn't have, what gets me more, is that it was Laurel" She said "Of all people, you kissed Laurel"

"It was a heat of the moment-" He began.

"leave me alone" She said "I don't want to hear it"

"Ally you need to listen to me okay"

"You're just here to make sure I keep quiet about your secret. I won't tell anyone because in all honesty I don't care okay? SO just go away"

"Ally listen to me-"

"Why should I?" She almost shrieked.

"Because you love me" He said. It sounded arrogant and cocky and it hadn't meant to. "I did't mean-"

She stared at him in astonishement and he knew he'd caught her off guard for a minute, then her eyes narrowed "Get out!"

"What?" He asked in shock.

"Get out!"

"Ally-"

"Get. Out." She said pointing at the door.

"Ally please I-" he almost pleaded.

"Just get out" She said "Just go and don't call me, don't come by house, just stay away from me"

She practially shoved him out of her office before closing the door. He stared at the door for a minute before rubbing a hand over her face. He'd just made it worse, he left the building.

When Ally finished, she got home and she slammed the door shut, she moved to the stairs after she kicked her shoes off. She sat down and put her face in her hands. The door was knocked and again without thinking she got up and pulled it open coming face to face with Laurel.

"Ally"

"I don't need this" Ally said going to slam the door.

"Wait" Laurel said to her "Please just listen I'm your best friend"

"Some best friend" Ally hissed at her, Laurel flinched at the tone in her voice. "I tell you something and you go behind my back and make it some sort of joke"

"I didn't-"

"I was there for you when it was you he was doing it to, I was there when you cried for hours, when you needed me! I was there"

That was when Oliver appeared, getting out the car and moving up to the door.

"I know you were Ally that's why I'm trying to fix this!" Laurel said back to her.

"I don't want you to fix it, what I want is for you to leave me alone"

"No" Laurel said.

"Ally" Oliver said and he grabbed her arm before she moved anywhere.

It happend so fast that they didn't even see it coming, Ally's fist hit Oliver in the jaw and he stumbled back in surprise. Laurel gasped and her eyes widend.

"Just...I can't...No...Just go away please just go away!" Ally shriked, the tears were now slipping down ehr cheeks and she didn't even bother to hide them, which caught both Oliver and Laurel off guard. "I don't wanna see either of your faces here again! Okay? Just leave me alone and stay away...I hate the both of you! Go and don't come back! EVER" and with that she slammed the door shut.

"Ally please" They both pleaded.

Ally locked the door and like the night she seen them kissing, she slid down it, she brought her knees up to her to her chest and hugged them tightly, letting herself break. She let herself sob, her forehead leaning on her knees, not knowing that both Laurel and Oliver could hear her.
