|Personality|
Alison is a very intelligent young woman. Ever since she was a child she would always be the top in her class because she tends to focus a lot on her studies. Because of this not many people seem to like her because they think she is nothing but a nerd. She tends to keep more to herself and wishes for nothing more than to be noticed like a normal high schooler. She is very sensitive and compassionate about everything she believes in. Most of the time she keeps her opinions to herself, even if it meant that someone would get hurt without knowing the information because no matter what she always gets blamed for everything.

|History|
Alison was born into a wonderful family, a loving mother and a father. Though around the time she was five years old her mother died, leaving her to live with her father. A few years later he married another woman who hated Alison with every molecule in her body. Whenever her father wasn't around the woman would always abuse her and force her to undertake doing everything for her, pretty much becoming her maid. This also went on with her two step-sisters. If it weren't for her father being happy with this woman, she wouldn't have any sort of hope in the world for finding happiness in the world.

Though her last bit of happiness seemed to dissipate into thin air when her father passed. She was then forced to become her step family's personal maid 24/7 and was always the person they took their anger out on. She would be emotionally abused. Finding herself not able to handle everything that was going on, Alison began cutting herself and began hiding in her books even more than usual. All she wants is a normal life, some friends at least and she would at least be happy.

Jason continued on driving, but when he heard "You are one of the most attractive guys I have ever laid eyes on," he just cracked a smile and started laughing. He tried to pull himself together as he apologized "I'm sorry. I shouldn't laugh." Jason stopped laughing and put on a somewhat serious face. But once he heard her say that, he thought of just speaking up "I'm actually not going to joke around here, but you are the most beautiful girl I have ever met. I am being completely serious. First of all you have a great personality, but just your body... it's amazing. And you have such an adorable smile. I'm glad we shared a moment last night, even though you were pretty drunk."

Time flew by as Jason took Alison around town on her chores. He was happy to help her out, but he was getting bored the further along he went with her. His hands started to sweat as he kept on driving. Finally by the evening Jason was tired out, but he was surprised by what he saw at home. When he pulled up into the drive he saw a bunch of people standing around and partying. He hopped out of the car and ran into the backyard. He left Alison in his car as he found out what was going on. His eyes flew around his backyard as he saw the same scene from the night before. A buddy of Jason's approached him and told him what was going on. "So... a bunch of people enjoyed the party last night that they decided to relive the moment with having another one. The door was locked so someone brought all the alcohol. For some reason no one bothered to see if you were home or not.. The guy turned and walked towards everyone by the pool.

Jason had a sense of deja vu. He watched as the party grew and people came in from the streets. It was all people from school, but he didn't plan on a party. Jason quickly turned and made his way back to the car where he opened Alison's door. He poked his head in, "Everyone wanted to party again."

When they arrived back at his place after running all of the errands, she was a bit curious as to what was going on when they pulled back up into his yard. Scared of whatever may be going on, she stayed in the car and waited for Jason to come back out. At that moment, she hoped that her step mother hadn't found out where she was at for the past couple of days, the last thing she wanted to do was go home.

Alison watched as Jason stepped back outside and back over to the car, "Everyone wanted to party again." she heard him state. Alison sighed and nodded her head as she stepped out of the vehicle. The brunette kept her head down towards the ground as she made her way into Jason's place, hoping nobody would notice who she was. The last thing she wanted to deal with was people asking her what happened to her.

She ran up the stairs and into Jason's room before closing the door behind her. She let out a relieving sigh and plopped down on the bed. This was a long day and now the entire house was filled with partiers. Maybe it could end up being a good thing, she thought to herself.

Jason watched as Alison ran out of the car and into the house. He thought about going after he, but he just wanted to enjoy the party since he spent so much of the last party up in his room. The crowd seemed to grow as minutes went by. There were no police in sight, but that didn't mean there was no chance of them coming. Music had already started blaring from the speakers around the pool. Beer in red solo cups was being passed around between everybody. Jason took a cup and took a swig. He handed it to some girl in a bikini. With nothing else on his mind Jason jumped into the pool. His closed were drenched as he floated back up to the surface. Everyone started going crazy. People started to get shoved into the water. Jason swam to the edge and pulled himself out of the pool.

The sun was going down behind Jason's house. He covered his eyes from the light and walked inside. As he walked down the hall Jason shed pieces of his clothing. As he got to the stairs, he was strutting around in his birthday suit. He went upstairs and opened the door to his bedroom where he saw Alison just laying on his bed. Jason took a pose in his doorway and looked at Alison "What's up?"

Alison laid there on his bed for what felt like over an hour before she was accompanied by Jason. At first all she heard was his voice because her back was turned towards him. She flipped over to her other side, facing him and smirked as she shook her head. "Nothing. I just didn't want anyone seeing me like this," she stated as she stood to her feet and walked over towards Jason. "Thanks for everything," she stated as she wrapped her arms around his neck, standing just a couple inches away from him. She leaned in and whispered in his ear, "And um, must we keep meeting this way?" she added before stepping away and glancing at him up and down before making her way to the opposite side of the room.

Alison leaned against the door leading out to his balcony and just stared out the window at all of the students who were partying. Yeah, she enjoyed a good party once and a while, but she just couldn't seem to understand why people liked doing it so much. After a while it would get boring.

Jason's eyes gazed around the room before falling upon Alison who made her way to the glass door at the other end. He approached her from behind and put his hands on her shoulders, gently massaging them. "I guess we were just destined to meet where I'm almost always naked. I can go put on some clothes, but I might go back out like this. I got my clothes soaked by jumping in the pool. Now they're all over the hallway downstairs." He let one hand fall from her shoulder down to her thigh. He was in love with her body, but yet he wasn't sure about their relationship.

"So... are we officially a couple? I don't think we ever got around to that. Or was it just a hookup? I just don't know if you wanted us to be a thing. If so, that would be nice." Jason spun her around and laid a kissed upon her lips. His other hand moved to the back of her head as he continued to make out with her.

Alison gave a relaxing sigh when she felt his hand against her shoulders massaging them. She didn't know what it was about this guy but no matter what she has on her mind or how she is feeling he just seems to make it all disappear. She honestly wasn't sure if it was a good or a bad thing. All she knew was it made her feel all the more confused.

Alison shrugged her shoulders about his comment of putting clothes on as she answered, "I don't see the point. It's not like you have anything I've never seen before." The brunette bit her lip a bit when she felt his hand travel down to her thigh but she was far from expecting what was happening next.

Just before Alison was about to answer his question, she was quickly spun around and he was making out with her. Without a second of hesitation she had her arms wrapped around his neck with her back up against the wall. Between the kissing she would say, "Maybe. After a. Date. We can. Find. That Out." she answered finally before returning to making out with him.

In moments like this Alison was completely confused about why she felt so much heat around Jason. Around any other guy it was different. She was able to control herself better than this. Last night she thought it was all because she was drunk but after everything that's been going on today, she was no longer too sure.

Her skin was soft, but Jason kept gliding his hand on across her thigh. He kept the kiss going. He listened to her words about going on a date before getting back to the action. He whispered, "Yeah. A date would be great." As soon as he finished speaking Jason locked lips with Alison once again. His one hand supporting her head went to her to the bottom of her shirt and he tried to remove it. As he was getting into it, a sound came from the other side of the room. It was a couple looking for a space to get intimate. Jason turned to see who was at the door, but was shocked. He wasn't expecting that. Both the girl and guy looked right at Jason and his manhood as he stood there naked. They also looked over behind him and saw Alison. They both snickered before taking out their phones and taking a picture. Jason ran over, but the couple was already gone. He turned back to Alison "Sorry about that. I should've locked the door."

Alison stood there in shock when she noticed a couple walk into the room and watched as they pulled their phones out and took a picture of her and Jason together. That was just the top of it all. Not only was the entire school going to find out that she has been spending alone time with Jason, but it was most likely that her step sisters were going to find out and tell their mother, causing her much more hell.

She turned her attention to Jason and replied, "I should be getting home. I'll um, I'll see you at school tomorrow," she stated before retrieving her purse and headed out the door before he was able to say or do anything that would force her to stay. Besides, if she stayed over here all night, things would be a lot worse back at home. Alison didn't want that.

Jason watched as Alison left. He resented being nude, but he couldn't resist trying to get with Alison again. He reached into his dresser and slid on a pair of boxers. He stepped out onto his balcony and overlooked the party. He watched people go skinny dipping in his pool. He thought being naked in a picture that is going to spread like wildfire would ruin him, but people are constantly naked at his house during parties with half the school. He put his hands on the railing, but was caught by surprise as someone threw a cup at him. They started chanting "Take it off!" Jason thought about it. He then looked at the two people who took a picture of him and Alison. As he observed their every move, they glanced up at him. All of a sudden everyone starting pulling out their phones. He lost all hope of his privacy being kept. There was not another thought in his head. Jason just simply slid off his boxers and flashed himself to everyone watching. After a few seconds of cameras flashing, Jason turned and walked inside. He locked his bedroom door and fell onto his bed.

Alison hurried on her way out the door, all the while she was hearing rude comments about her being with Jason, she always wanted to be noticed, but not this way. The female finally made it out of the crowd and out onto the sidewalk. She continued walking through the night as tears slid down her cheeks. "How could I be so stupid? Jason had to of set that up, he had to. All he wanted was to get in my pants, make me feel like he really wanted me and I fell for it just to be outed to the whole school," she mumbled to herself in anger.

The brunette arrived back home about twenty minutes later and sneaked through the yard and into the shed where she lived. It was already bad enough her emotions were abused at home, then Jason had to go and pull this bullshit. Alison slammed her door behind her and dropped to her bed and instantly began balling her eyes out until she fell asleep.

School was definitely going to be hell tomorrow.

The rest of the day flew by as Jason spent it laying on his bed. The next day rolled around and Jason turned to his side and looked at his alarm clock. He knew he had to go face Alison at school. She didn't seem so happy when she left. He just didn't know if the whole situation had upset her. Jason slowly sat up and rubbed his hands against his face. He felt awful for some reason. He got to his feet and caught his balance. He trudged out of his room and to the bathroom down the hall where he stepped right into the shower, and turned the faucet on. He let the water hit his skin as it washed away the dirt. Minutes later his hand reached for the faucet handle and turned it until the water stopped. He stepped out and went right downstairs, forgetting his towel. He got a bowl of cereal and ate it, pacing himself. He cleaned up when he finished and went back upstairs and threw on jeans and a white t-shirt.

Jason made his way down the steps and out to his car. He locked the door behind him. The car felt cold at the early hour. He turned it on and put the heat on low. He ignored driving and picking up Alison. He would just see her at school. The car slowed to a crawl and he pulled into a parking space right in the school lot. He made his normal routine that took him inside the school and to homeroom where he waited for the day to just fly by as he went along with everyone else.

Alison woke up to the sound of her alarm going off at five in the morning. She sighed as she slammed her hand down on the alarm and immediately removed all of her clothing and hopped into the shower. The shower felt nice, it wiped away all the dirt, grime, and even made her feel better because she could no longer feel like she was touched by Jason at this moment. But she knew, even though she felt that way, it wasn't true. Jason had touched her, not only physically but he had touched her heart.

The brunette shook the thoughts from her mind as she stepped out of the shower and began to get dressed. She pulled on a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt, to cover all of the bruises her step mother had given her the night before. Alison blow dried her hair and left it down, covering her neck then applied makeup. There were hickies she needed to cover.

Once she was completely dressed Alison made breakfast for the rest of her evil family and quickly sneaked out of the house so they wouldn't notice she was leaving. She kept her head glued to the ground as she walked to school. Taking the bus was definitely out of question since she wasn't in the mood to deal with stupid teenagers this early in the morning. If she were late to school, so be it.

Because of the long walk, Alison missed homeroom and first block, classes she had with Jason. When she finally arrived she made it just in time for lunch. She stepped into the cafeteria, she felt eyes on her everywhere she went, some even laughing and making comments about her being with Jason. She just sighed and pushed her glasses back up on her face, grabbed her food, and headed to the courtyard. She sat down at one of the empty tables farthest away from the rest of the students and began eating in silence.

The bell rang. Chairs screeched as everyone removed themselves from the room and went to the cafeteria. Jason slowly pushed his chair back and got up. He slung his backpack over his shoulder and made his way to the lunchroom. His shoulder dipped and his backpack slid off and landed on a seat at his usually table. Instead of being greeted by a few buddies, Jason was surrounded by a swarm of crazy students. He noticed a few from his party, but most of them were new to him. Questions about him and Alison were being thrown around. The nude picture of him was being shown. Jason turned and got his food before returning to his seat. He didn't want this kind of attention. He just wanted to go through the day as if yesterday's events never happened.

Before Jason finished eating more crazy students sat at his table. The questions and comments kept coming. Jason got up and peered around the cafeteria. He needed to find Alison. It would be out of luck if he found her in school though. There was no sign of her in homeroom or first block. The crowd of kids seemed to keep growing as he searched for Alison. Jason couldn't handle it anymore. He got his backpack and ran out of the cafeteria. He pulled out his phone and texted Alison "I can't handle this mob of people harassing me. Wanna meet up in the parking lot by my car?" Jason hit send and immediately left the building and went out to his car where he quickly got inside before anyone saw him.

As Alison sat there at the table with her lunch, she could feel the stares but yet nobody seemed to go over and speak to her, which that she completely thanked of them but she wished they would stop giving her so much attention. She could hear whispers and gossip coming from every direction in the lunch courtyard, there was nothing she could do about it. As she sat there, she heard her phone go off and she slid it out of her pocket.

When Alison noticed it was Jason, she rolled her eyes and opened the message with a sigh. "I can't handle this mob of people harassing me. Wanna meet up in the parking lot by my car?" For a couple moments she just sat there staring at the message, wondering if she should actually see him. But she finally just shrugged her shoulders and figured it would be better than being stared at and feeling completely uncomfortable.

The brunette stood to her feet and slung her backpack over her left shoulder, leaving the trey on the table and walked out to the parking lot. It took her a brief moment to spot his truck but after spotting it she walked over. Alison gently knocked on the passenger side window, signaling him to let her in since the door was still locked. But once she was let in she climbed into the passenger seat in silence before looking over at him and speaking in a tone showing no emotion what-so-ever. "Just so you know, I'm not too happy about what happened last night. Not completely sure if that was done on purpose, but it seems too fishy for it not to be," she stated.

Jason stared at Alison, his mouth slightly open. Her words really took a jab at him. He understood why she was upset, but he didn't have a clue why he would plan such a thing to happen. "I'm sorry about last night. I didn't plan for that to happen. All I know is that people were getting pretty suspicious of us and they wanted to know, but I'm pretty sure those people that took the picture were trying to have sex in my room. They looked pretty drunk." Jason took a breath and rested his hand on her should "Alison... I love you. I would have never done anything like that to ruin us." He put the key in the ignition and turned the car on.

"Let's just get out of here. Being at school today wasn't the best decision." Jason slowly drove out of the parking lot. He wasn't sure if Alison would forgive him, but Jason just wanted to get away from all the mess.

Alison sighed and just nodded her head, signaling that she heard what he said about the pictures, though when he said the big three words, she couldn't believe what she had just heard. She wasn't sure what she felt for him, if she felt anything for him at all and he told her he loved her. This just became extremely awkward for her and there was no way for her to get out of it because she didn't want to go back into that building. So instead, she just sat there in silence for a couple moments as he started the car.

After on the highway she finally glanced over at him and spoke, "I appreciate that you love me, but um, I'm not ready for that. I'm not even sure how I feel about being friends with you...please don't take that the wrong way, I just don't know how to explain my feelings very well," Alison explained before redirecting her attention out the passenger side window and kept her ears open to hear his response.

Jason was upset with her response. His face showed no emotion. He didn't want to seem mad, but he was blowing up on the inside. She made it worse by just saying that she might not want to be friends. Jason drove her straight home. He pulled up outside her house and stopped. He pulled up on the emergency brake, putting it on. He reached over Alison and pulled the door handle towards the both of them and pushed out on the door. "I'll see you later I guess. If not... then that's fine too."

Jason turned his head to the other side, looking out his window. He had nothing else to say to Alison. He knew that saying that he loved her was sort of pushing it, but he meant it. There was no other girl he had spent more time with trying to please and just be a couple with. He thought Alison was the one for him. He must have thought wrong.

After her response, the car happened to fall to silence. Neither of them were saying anything and tension was definitely building in the air. She knew she should have just kept quiet and figured out exactly how to word things before saying anything. But it was too late for her to fix things. She was forced out of his car.

The brunette climbed out and stood on the sidewalk, "I'm sorry," she stated just as a single tear slid down her cheek. Alison wasn't sure if there was anything she could say or do to fix this, she might have just ruined her only friendship she ever had. Just because she wasn't even sure how she felt about being friends with him that didn't mean that she didn't want him to be in her life, she just wasn't ready to say the I love you's or to even be in a relationship.

She turned on her heels and began walking back to the place she dreaded more than anywhere else in the world, the place that she had no choice to return to every night, the place she was nothing more than unwanted and it clearly showed. But after taking a couple steps into the yard she changed her mind and instead returned to the sidewalk and started walking in a random direction. She would much rather walk aimlessly around town then go back to that forsaken place, especially with the state of emotion she was currently in.

Jason knew he screwed things up. He regretted what he had said, but he knew that he actually did love her. It was odd for him to say such a thing since commitment to a relationship was never anything Jason had on his mind for his high school career, but with Alison, everything changed. He couldn't just let her walk away. With that in mind, Jason got up and went after her. "Alison, don't go. I'm sorry for making you feel like that. I've never said that to anyone before and I didn't know how you would take it. I'm sorry for the way it may have made you feel, but I really do like you. I've never really tried to be more committed to anyone before I met you, but I just didn't want to lose you."

Jason took a breath after he finished his short speech. He knew that he made himself seem like an asshole earlier, and he was being one, but he didn't mean to screw everything up. He has never really dealt with a situation like that before, and going into the way he did... well he screwed up and felt awful about it.
