Chapter 7

Allison looked at Thirteen, who nodded nervously, glancing anxiously between the door and Allison. Gripping her hand tighter, Allison led Thirteen through the door and into the kitchen.

'Mum, this is Thirteen, Thirteen, this is my mum, Leigh.'

After they exchanged pleasantries, Allison practically dragged Thirteen up the stairs and into her room. Flopping down onto her bed and sighing dramatically Allison looked to Thirteen

'You like?'

Thirteen smiled at Allison, a slight twinkle in her eyes

'No. I love!'

Thirteen then started making a circuit of the room, admiring all the posters and what looked like professional drawings of Disney characters. Sitting down next to Allison, Thirteen clapped her hands

'I love all your posters, I can't believe we have practically the same taste in music!' squealing excitedly Thirteen continued 'and where did you get the drawings from? They look very expensive'

Fiddling with a stray thread on her jumper Allison refused to meet Thirteen's eyes 'I...um, I drew them actually. All of them.'

Thirteen looked astounded 'they're amazing! Where did you learn to do that?'

'I didn't, I was bored one day so I just started drawing Peter Pan. You can pick one, if you want?'

Thirteen's eyes were shining 'I don't know, you must have worked so hard on them...'

'Seriously, you can have one, I don't mind, I've got copies of them all anyway'

Thirteen got up, looking around at all the drawings 'umm, oh I don't know! Err, can I have the Thumper drawing? He's my favourite character ever'

Allison nodded 'I'll just get it for you. How come he's your favourite?'

Thirteen looked wistfully 'my brother used to call me Thumper, before he killed himself'

Allison gasped audibly. 'He-he what?'

'Yeah. He killed himself. When he got his first tremor, he got so freaked out and didn't want to put my dad through that again; he moved from Massachusetts to Ohio. We only found out he killed himself after my dad was called to identify the body'

Allison could see Thirteen struggling to hold back tears, enveloping her in a hug she stroked her chocolate brown her and whispered comfortingly in her ear

'You don't have to be strong all the time you know? It's okay to cry sometimes, even if it isn't what you want'

At this, Thirteen let go and burst into uncontrollable sobs, shaking against Allison, getting her t shirt wet with tears.

'I'm sorry, i-it's just th-that I can n-n-never let go. Everyone expects me to, expects me to be this cool and confident girl when I'm actually just a broken, lonely nobody'

Allison could feel her own eyes brimming with unshed tears, she clung onto Thirteen, not wanting to ever let her go

'Stay with me, forever. I'll keep you safe'

But out loud she said 'Listen to me, Remy, you are not a nobody, okay? Don't ever think that about yourself. You are the most beautiful human being I've ever had the privilege to meet. And sometimes, it's okay to let go; tell you what, if you ever feels like its getting too much, just come and find me and I'll help you, okay? Promise me, you'll come looking for me, or text me or call me, whenever you have a problem, whether it's four in the morning or the middle of the day. I'll be there. And, don't do anything without talking to me, I don't want you to hurt yourself because I couldn't be there for you'

Allison was freely crying now, and so was Thirteen. At that moment they both felt something change in their relationship, they were no longer just two people who met at the park; Allison didn't know what they were, friends? No, they were something different, but she couldn't think of a word to describe it. There probably wasn't one

'God the English language was annoying, so many words for the same thing but not one word for this?'

Thirteen pulled out of the hug and put her hands on Allison's shoulders. Tilting her head slightly, she looked quizzically at Allison

'You called me Remy'

'I, uh, yeah. Sorry'

'Don't be.' Remy smiled brightly at her 'I like it, a lot'

Allison ducked her head, flushing. She leaned against Thirteen's shoulder, suddenly craving the contact.

Thirteen obliged, wrapping her arms around the blonde and slowly lying down onto the bed, pulling Allison down with her so she was lying half next to her, half on top.

Allison could feel herself getting sleepy due to her extreme comfort

'Lets just stay here and forget everything'

Sighing heavily, Allison shook herself mentally and sat up. She smiled fondly as she looked down at Thirteen, who had fallen asleep

'Look at her, she's so adorable!'

Allison gently stroked down Thirteen's cheek with her finger, she followed the contours of Thirteen's face and suddenly found her finger tracing her lips. Without thinking about the consequences, Allison slowly leant down, fluttered her eyes closed and lightly brushed her lips over Thirteen's.

Unexpectedly, Thirteen's eyelids quivered and slowly fluttered open. She unconsciously put her fingers to her lips, as if trying to remember something. She looked up into Allison's guilt ridden eyes

'Did, did you just...kiss me?'

Allison swallowed audibly 'I, yes, no- I'm sorry, you were asleep and I do-'

Allison's rambling was cut off as Thirteen pulled her down for a proper kiss.

Her mind went blank. All she could focus on was the sensation of Thirteen's lips against hers. She pulled away for air and looked deep into Thirteen's eyes

'Remy...'

'Mmh?'

'What just happened?'

'Well, Ally, I believe that was called kissing'

'Haha, hilarious Remy, I meant what just happened in terms of...us?'

Remy thought for a moment 'I don't know, I guess I didn't really know I liked you like that until you kissed me, which was amazing by the way'

Allison smiled 'I knew I liked you, since my first day in Advanced Chem'

Allison continued to stare into Thirteen's turquoise orbs. She leant down to kiss her again, but, much to Thirteen's disappointment, it only lasted a few perfect seconds

'Remy?'

'Yes, Ally?'

'Wi-would you be my girlfriend?'

'I would love to Allison, absolutely'
