I just realized that I made a mistake last chapter. Her mom is the dead one and her father is the one that is always gone. Just wanted to clear that up. Sorry about any confusion.

Battlefield- Jordin Sparks
Allison's Point Of View
School the next day was awkward to say the least. Last night I barely got any sleep, as I had stayed up thinking about all of this. I hadn't done that much thinking in a long time. I thought about everything that had to do with this and I got nowhere with it. The question that I wanted answered the most was why Adam didn't tell me. Did he not trust me or something?
Before school, Emma and I were behind some buildings in the back, away from our small school population, trying to make sense of this whole mess.
"Dude, I feel bad for you," Emma said, laughing. I sighed. She didn't get how serious this was. Okay, maybe I was over reacting, but Adam was my whole world. And nothing would ever change that.
"He didn't even tell me, Emma, That's what hurts the most," I sighed.
"How long have they been going out for?" she asked me.
"Five months," I sighed.
"WHAT?!" Emma exclaimed. "Five months? That's a long time,"
I smirked. "You're telling me,"
"And he never told you?"
"Nope," I answered.
"What else did Adam tell you?"
"He… he said that he might be the… one." I told her.
"That's…. that's just weird, dude," she said.
"Ya think?" I asked her. The bell rang so we had to go to homeroom. Great. Just the person I wanted to see right now. Emma and I were in the same homeroom class, so at least I wouldn't be alone in all of this.
"It's only been five months," Emma said as we walked to class, 'that's like to short of a time to know if someone is 'the one'… but then again you and Adam…" she trailed off.
"Okay, that's enough," I replied. She wasn't exactly making me feel a whole lot better here.
'Nah. This is just too much fun," she laughed.
"You suck," I responded.
"You know you love me,"
I groaned as we reached homeroom. Man, I should have like fake sicked this morning…
"Let's go girl," Emma said as she pushed me in the room, ignoring my resistance.
I took my seat next to Emma in the back of the room.
"C'mon," Emma said, nudging me, "I'm sure that nothing will change,"
"Yeah right. EVERYTHING will change," I replied to her. Everything would. And I knew that. Emma knew that. Adam knew that. Nothing would ever be the same in my life. Nothing.
"Did you get any sleep last night?" she asked me. Changing the subject. "You look really tired."
"I am tired, dude. I didn't get any sleep last night. I couldn't sleep. Plus, I needed to think about this whole mess," I replied. Class started soon after, so the two of us had to stop talking.
Soon after that, the bell rang, signaling the end of homeroom. Great. I had English here first period, so I just stayed. That means like five whole minutes in this room with Mr. L. Crap. And my seat was in the front of the class for English so I had to move up there. Ugh, I really didn't feel like walking the entire seven feet, but I did it anyways.
I slumped down in the chair. I guess I could catch up on my sleep for five minutes or so.
"Is this too awkward for you?" I lifted my head up from the desk where I was napping.
"What too awkward?" I asked even though I knew what he was talking about.
"Me dating Adam," Mr. L replied.
Um… YES! Okay, Crap, how am I supposed to answer that? "Kinda, yeah," I answered. Could five minutes go any slower here? He sighed. What? So did he think that this wasn't going to be awkward for me? Even if I wasn't in love with Adam? "It's awkward a little, but I'll get used to it. I promise," I responded.
No matter how much I loved Adam, I would have to get used to it. Plus, when Adam was with Drake I eventually got used to it. And after that, Drake and I actually had a pretty good time. Drake wasn't the best guy for Adam and all, but I did get used to it. So I would just have to get used to Adam dating my teacher… Yeah, that would never happen.
"I'm sorry I never told you. It was something that Adam and I had to decide on together. Like who we would tell and when," he said.
"It's been five months. Five months is a long time. And I'm mad at Adam for not telling me, not exactly you," I answered. Then the bell rang and that was that.

I had more classes, and then it was lunch. Emma and I hung out in our usual place in the back of the school so that we could be alone. There weren't many people in our school, but we liked it back there anyways. Plus, we were probably going to talk about Adam some more, and we couldn't do that in front of a lot of people.
"So he said what?" Emma asked me.
"He asked if it was awkward for me," I replied.
"What were you supposed to say to that?" she answered.
"I just said that is was kind of awkward,"
"I say you run away to Mexico," Emma said.
I sighed. "Adam never told me. That's what really hurts, Emma. No one told me. And I'm pretty sure that Kris knows too. So basically everyone knew besides me."
"Well there had to be a reason why Adam didn't tell you," Emma stated.
"Like what?" I asked her. "I thought Adam and I had a better friendship than that. Guess I was wrong,"
"Maybe he's secretly straight or bi and in love with you too?"
I laughed. "I doubt that. He doesn't have the same feelings for me that I have for him," I answered. No matter how much I wanted him too, I don't really think that he ever will.
"Well I tried," she sighed.

After lunch, we had fifth period. There was no study hall on Fridays, which I was now grateful for. Emma and I had different fifth periods, but we would be together in sixth period AP US History.
When the last period of the day came around, sixth period AP US History, I just really didn't want to go. Emma waited for me outside the door before we walked in together.
"I know how you can get Adam to fall for you," she told me.
"How?" I responded, eying her suspiciously.
"You could always get a sex change," she said as we walked in. At that same time, Mr. L was by the door. So when he heard Emma say that, he jerked his head up and looked at us. Emma and I looked at each other and started laughing like crazy.
"Don't even want to know girls," he said. Emma and I laughed all the way to our seats. We were so random at times.

OMG! I GET TO SEE ADAM LIVE TOMORROW!!! SO EXCITED!!
