"It was wrong of me to start this up in the first place." He said. He put his hands on my arms and squeezed them lightly. "Ally, I think you should come over tonight and we can talk about this and tell eachother everything we are feeling."
I nodded.
"Tell your family I had a family emergency or something." He said.
I pulled away from him. "I think I've lied enough for you."
"Ally." He said hugging me. "Come over tonight and we'll talk this all through." He said quietly.
"You act like I'm sixteen or something." I said.
"Come by tonight, okay?" He said.
"I guess." I said.
"We'll talk through everything." He said.
"Okay." I said.
"Ally-"
"JUST GO!" I said, pushing him out the door. I watched him leave through my bedroom window. I layed down in my bed and there was a knock on my door.
"What?" I asked. The door opened and my mom peeked her head in.
"Is everything okay? I saw Alex leave." She said.
"Yeah. I'm not sure things are going to work out." I told her.
"Why?" She asked.
"9 years, that's why. I guess he feels like I'm too young and shouldn't be wasting time in a relationship with an older guy." I told her.
"Oh honey, I'm sorry." She said. She even sounded sincere.
"It's okay. We're gonna talk more about it later. I feel like everyone is treating me like I'm twelve or something!" I told her, starting to tear up.
She came in and closed the door. She sat down on the bed next to me and gave me a hug. "He is much older than you, sweetie." She said.
"I know." I said.
"Where did you meet him?" She asked sounding concerned.
"School." I blurted out crying.
"Oh, honey." She said hugging me.
"I'm sorry." I said.
"No reason to apologize. You are old enough to make your own choices. You're an adult. He's an adult too." She said.
"Please don't tell Daddy I met him at school." I said.
"I won't." She said, "You know we've always been able to keep our little secrets. I don't plan on changing that any time soon."
"Thank you." I said.
"Now wash your face and come help me with dinner." She said smiling.
I nodded and she left.
