Re: Text Shift
Ally sighed. "Okay okay," she said. "My audition isn't for a couple months anyway," she laughed. "So like me to get worked up way in advance," she mumbled. "Okay, all better," she laughed.
She wasn't sure if it was right to tell Tyler that she'd known she'd crossed a line with Carter many years ago and that she'd just never bothered to fix it. She sighed. "You may not ever get to be friends with him," Ally said. "Carter can be a jackass sometimes, and I know he doesn't like you, for whatever dumbass reason he put inside his head. He doesn't like that things are changing, that I don't need him to protect me anymore, so he's doing the one thing he knows best, alienating me from anyone who cares. I used to let him, I was stupid and scared and I knew he would take care of me. But I'm not 15 years old anymore, and I'm not choosing him this time," she shook her head. "If he makes me choose," she really hoped he wouldn't try and pull that stunt again, like he'd done so many times before. She'd lost boy after boy over that. She'd always chosen Carter, but she couldn't this time, not if she wanted to stay sane.
"I'm here aren't I?" she looked up at him. "I trust you. I trust you to love me and stay with me, I trust you to not hurt me, which for me is huge. I believe what you say no matter what goes on inside my head. I know that you'll protect me, you already have. When I'm with you nothing else matters, its just you and me,"
