Thanks to everyone who reviewed. And no, I don't plan on having this entire thing be in Allison's POV… Just most of it.
Someone That You're With- Chapter 3 (Falling)
'Cause it seems like no one can, Hear the voice that's calling, Try to take the most I can stand, But I keep falling, I try to chase the memories away, But they haunt me everyday, I hope I get over this phase, 'Cause I'm stuck inside this haze
Falling- David Archuleta
Allison's Point of View
I went to Adam's house right after school. Emma went to her house (She didn't have detention for the first time this year). Adam and I are going to have movie pizza night tonight. Well, we were. I don't know if Adam was going to hang out with Mr. L again tonight. But it's not like they could really leave the house anyways.
I was still mad at Adam, anyways. He should have told me if he was serious with someone. Or if he was even dating again. We were close. I just thought that he would tell me something this big. I don't know, maybe I was over reacting a bit. But it's not like he just hid it for a week, or even a month. It's been FIVE months.
I dropped my backpack down and slumped down on the couch.
"Something wrong?" Adam asked me.
"Yeah. What's wrong is that you didn't tell me, Adam. You kept this from me for five months, Adam. I'd never keep anything from you for this long, especially not something like this. I… I guess I'm just mad that you kept this from me," I honestly said.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, okay. I know that were closer than this." We looked each other in the eyes. No. I wasn't going to give into those blue eyes. I wasn't going to fall for it this time.
"Do you not trust me or something, Adam?" I asked him. "Did you think that I was going to tell somebody? Because aside from Emma, I haven't told anybody,"
"I know, I know. And I'm really sorry."
"Fine," I sighed. "But I'm still mad at you."

An hour and a half later, Adam and I were watching a movie. Tabby was curled up on my lap, and I was curled up on Adam's lap.
I could really get used to Adam and I not having to work all of the time. He took care of all of his stuff while I was at school during the day and I was really going to start my career after school got out in the summer. My manager wants me to focus on my studies for the time being.
Adam's Point of View
I felt kind of bad about not telling Allison about Zach and I. But she was right. I should have told her about it. But it was pretty weird considering that he has been her teacher for the past four years.
"Adam?" she asked me. I turned away from the movie and looked down at her.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Are you ever going to tell the public about this? Or anyone else for that matter?" she asked.
"Well, yeah. Eventually. But you know how it is. Once the public knows that Zach and I are dating, well… his life will never be the same. He won't be able to go anywhere."
"Yeah. It does get pretty annoying. Plus no one at school knows that he's gay… well we all pretty much find it really obvious and all…"
"You're weird Alli," I said.
"But you love me."
Neither of us said anything for a while after that.
"You really care about him, don't you? About Mr. L?" she asked me.
"Yeah, Al. I do," I replied. And it was true. Zach meant a lot to me. No, we haven't really been out on a date yet, mostly due to the press, but I was really falling for him. And hard. He was so perfect. Perfect for me and just perfect in general. And he is cute, too. Really cute. And he has a little accent that is so cute, too. He just makes me go so crazy.
"Is he coming over later?" she asked.
"Yeah. And so is Kris and my mom," I replied. "I haven't exactly told them who I was dating. Well, they know that I'm in a relationship now, but they haven't met him yet."
"Oh," she said. And that was that.

Allison's Point of View
It was over two and a half hours later, at around 5:30, Mr. L was here. He was back at college for a couple of years and was doing that after school got out about three days a week, so that's where he was for the past three and a half hours.
The two of them were cuddled up on the couch adjacent to the one that I was sitting on, watching the movie. Adam had his arms around him and Mr. L was leaning up against him. I hate to admit it, but they were actually pretty cute together. And really happy together.
The two of them kept whispering things to each other and giggling and sneaking kisses to each other. I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to the movie, wondering when the heck Kris and Leila would be here. I was getting sick of this.
Finally, the doorbell rang. "I got it!" I jumped up and ran out of the room to the front door. Both Kris and Leila were there.
"Alli!" Kris exclaimed, hugging me.
"Hey Kris," I replied, hugging him back. "Hi Leila."
"Hey Alli," she said.
"ADAM! KRIS AND YOUR MOM ARE HERE!" I yelled. I let them in and the three of us walked into the living room.
Adam's Point of View
Allison was at the door with my mom and Kris. Zach and I were still on the couch in the same position that we were in before; my arms around him and him leaned up against the side of me.
"What of your mom doesn't like me?" Zach asked me.
I smiled at him. "You're so cute when you worry," I said, ruffling his short brown hair. I looked down in his eyes. "She'll love you, Zach. Don't worry about it."
Allison, Kris, and my mother then walked into the living room. I moved away from Zach. Even though I was 27, I still didn't need my mother walking in on me and my boyfriend. Even if all we were doing was kind of cuddling up on the couch together.
"Hey mom," I said, getting up and hugging her. "Hey Kris."
"Hey man," he replied, getting me in a bear hug. I went over to the couch and pulled Zach up and put an arm around him.
"This is Zach, my boyfriend," I said.
"Hey," he replied. I looked over at Allison who was texting a million words a minute.
Allison's Point of View
I was texting Emma a minute by minute updates on what was going on.
"Who are you texting now, Alli?" Adam asked me.
"Emma," I replied with out looking up from my cell phone screen.
"What exactly are you texting her?" he asked me.
"Um… let's see… OMG this is so weird… OMG this is so funny… OMG I should so put this on you tube… OMG you need to see this… OMG OMG OMG… yup, that's about it," I answered him.
He rolled his eyes at me. "You're crazy, Allison,"
"I don't get it…" Kris said.
"Oh, he's kind of been my teacher for a lot of junk for the past four years," I said, shrugging.
"Well that's awkward," Kris responded.
"Yup,"
Zach's Point of View
Later, Kris and Adam's mom were gone. They both liked me for the most part. Ms. Lambert yelled at Adam for a while for taking so much time before she got to meet me, but that was about it. Allison had dragged Emma over here and they were now both currently in her room.
"Your mom seems nice," I said.
"Yeah, she's pretty cool," he replied. "So when do I get to meet your family?"
I hoped he wouldn't ask that. But I knew that he would at one point.
"My dad… he doesn't accept me for who I am. He doesn't like the fact that I choose to be a teacher, when he wanted me to be a doctor. And he definitely doesn't accept the fact that I'm gay. My mom… she was okay with it, but she died in a car crash a while ago. So now it's just me and my sister," I said. "There's no one else left in our family besides me, my sister, and her three year old daughter. Well, there's also my father, but both me and my sister lost all contact with him last year some time."
"I never knew that. Why didn't you ever tell me?" he asked.
I sighed. "It's just not something that I like talking about, ya know?"
"Can I meet your sister sometime then? And your niece?" he asked me.
"What's with wanting to meet my family?" I laughed.
"You've met my mom," Adam said to me, "now I wanna met your family."
"I haven't met your father or Neil yet," I remarked. He smirked and wrapped his arms around my chest. I sneaked a light kiss on his lips.

Please tell me what you think. I really like how this is turning out so far.
