Ally's POV
Throughout the whole day Saturday, my parents weren't home. I wondered where they were, but in truth didn't really want to know. I sat on my balcony thinking for most of the day, however I did text Normani for a bit.
Late that evening, Lauren came to the balcony again. I got butterflies in my stomach as usual. "Hey," I said. "Hi Ally. Are you always on the balcony?" Lauren asked. I nodded. "That's cool. I'll always know where to find you," she said. I laughed a little nervously, yet the conversation continued normally.
We talked for a while until I heard my mother call me from inside. I told Lauren that I had to go, so we both said goodbye and parted ways. I hurried to the kitchen where my parents were. I could tell immediately that something was wrong.
"Ally, have a seat,"
