Chapter 24

While I Sit Here by Myself, and Figure Out How I Got This Way.

Allen's alarm went off and Allen groaned. He didn't even remember falling asleep last night. All he remembered was talking to Lavi and crying.

"Wait," Allen thought, sitting up on the couch, "Lavi might have called me back!"

Allen sprang off of his couch and reached for his phone.

His heart sank.

Zero missed calls, zero text messages, and zero voice mails.

Allen sank back onto the couch and put his face in his hands.

"Lavi, please come back," Allen moaned out loud.

Allen sighed and stood up; he needed to get ready for another day of hell.

Allen showered and got dressed then sat down at his table to eat breakfast. He just stared down at his oatmeal. He found no desire to eat. Allen knew he was truly upset.

Allen threw his oat meal away and picked up his backpack. He walked out of his dorm and locked the door.

Allen slowed walked towards school.

"I should have stayed home," Allen mumbled to himself, "It's not like anyone would know I was missing."

Allen kicked a stone as he walked, his thoughts buzzing about how much he hated Lavi being gone.

"I made up my mind that I was going to cheer up but now I'm back to being miserable," Allen continued to mumble.

Allen just shook his head as he pushed open the door to his school and walked into the sophomore hallway. He entered his code into his locker and was greeted by a picture of him and Lavi.

Allen sighed, he forgot about the picture. He looked up at it and his eyes were filled with tears quickly.

"Lavi," Allen whispered, secretly hoping the redhead would pop out of no where and hug him.

Allen closed his eyes and pictured Lavi's smile. This was the most peace Allen has felt in a long time.

"Allen?" an oily voice asked softly.

Allen flinched like he had been hit in the mouth.

Allen slowly opened his and looked at Tykki.

"What?" Allen snapped.

"Hey, are you okay?" Tykki asked.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" Allen snapped again, slamming his locker shut, not caring that he didn't get his first hour books and ignoring all the looks.

"Allen, calm down," Tykki said, reaching for Allen's arms.

"Don't tell me what to do! Don't you dare tell me to calm down! You don't know how I feel!" Allen yelled.

Allen could feel all the eyes on him but Allen just plain didn't give a damn.

Then Tykki surprised Allen.

He hugged him.

He hugged him like Lavi hugged him.

Allen didn't mean to, it's just been so long since he felt anything; he melted into Tykki's arms.

Allen was about to close his eyes when he realized what he was doing. He quickly pulled away, an angry blush coming to his cheeks.

Tykki smiled, "You look cute when you blush."

Lavi said that.

Lavi was the only one allowed to say that.

Allen did what no man should ever do to any man, no matter what the situation may be.

He kicked Tykki in the nuts, hard.

Tykki dropped like a dead weight and curled into a ball.

Allen quickly ran into the boy's bathroom and quickly got into a stall.

Allen put his back against the stall door and slid to the ground, sobbing.

"Lavi! Please come back," Allen screamed.

He was tired of feeling this way, so empty and lonely.

Allen sobbed as loud as possible, so what if everyone thought he was weak, they could judge him all they wanted, Allen didn't care anymore.

Allen finally calmed down and pulled himself together and stood up. He unlocked the door and looked at himself in the mirror, no longer surprised at the haunting face looking back at him.

Allen quickly washed his face off and walked into the halls.

He hunched his shoulders and kept his head low.

He heard his name in conversations, he felt the stares, it just made him want Lavi more.

Allen walked into his classroom and sat down at his desk, alone.

Allen just stared at the counter top until he heard Tykki's shoes slapping against the floor.

Only guy in all the high school to wear dress shoes to school every day.

Allen looked up at him.

He was walking with that Road girl, they were laughing and smiling.

"Surprising for a guy that got hit in the nuts so hard he might not have children," Allen thought in his head.

Allen pulled out his book and binder and opened them, wanting to start class soon so that the day would end.

As Allen was searching in his backpack for a pen, he heard the screech of the stool next to him being pulled out.

Allen looked up, hope rising in his stomach that it was Lenalee or Lavi or even Kanda.

It wasn't.

It was Tykki.

"Hey," he said, flashing an incredibly white smile, "Anyone sitting here?"

Like? Love? Hate? Review! By the way, the title is song lyrics from Sleeping with Siren's "If You Can't Hang". I LOVE THAT SONG! I'm so obsessed with it right now! Anyway, hopefully you've noticed the author notes are back on top to STAY! Two people said that they liked the author notes so that's enough to convince me to keep them! Till the 27th my dears! (That's the day before my 16th birthday!)
