(Okay, in hopes of clearing your minds of the terror and scary moments from the first chapter, here is something to help cool it down. All disclaimers are in the first chapter. SPecial Thanks to GoldGuardian2418 for helping with this chapter.)
It had been over a month after the school shooting and death of Chad Gibson, and lots of things happened after the tragic event. After Ally was brought to the hospital, it was concluded that she was in a catatonic state due to the suicide and the doctors were afraid that she may not recover from such a dramatizing event. But, eventually, Ally pulled through and was out of her frozen state and had begun a couple weeks of psychological therapy to help her further recover.
While this was going on, the police were able to figure out why Chad had gone into a hostel state. After countless interviews with the neighbors, the police have determined that after years of psychological torture and abuse, as well as the brain defect caused by the car crash from several years before, Chad had gone into a psychotic state, which would explain why his father was slain and the near death of Ally. The funeral of Chad and Paul was attended by the remaining members of the Gibson family, wishing them their farewells, but most of the farewells and sorrow were for Chad. The Drewoods, mostly Ally's parents also attended the funeral and gave their condolences to the family. Ally, even though she wasn't at the funeral due to her therapy, also sent a prayer of forgiveness to Chad, telling him that she has no grudge or hatred against him. She wished him peace and happiness.
As for Heatblast, even though he did save Ally;s life, he was still in trouble for nearly blowing his cover. For that he was confined to the mansion for a week, and he excepted the punishment. Even though he was confined, he still kept thinking about his little girl, praying that she would be alright.
And for the school, it had to be closed due to the repairs as well as giving the students and staff time to recuperate from the event. Eventually, after a month of repairs, the school reopened and all the students were back in class, only now the school had doubled the security to make sure that something similar to the shooting from the last month would never happen again.
After school was finished for the day, all the students packed up and headed for the buses, all except for Ally. She had noticed that Mikey was staying behind at the school playground on the swing set, and he looked very sad. Ally felt that there was something wrong and she had to see what it was.
As she sat down on a swing next to Mikey, she looked at him and asked him this. "Mikey, do you want to talk with me?"
Mikey lifted his head and looked at her with eyes that showed sadness and guilt. "Yes. I was out here in hope you would find me."
"What is it you wish to talk about?" Ally asked.
"Well, I have many things to talk about. But I want to ge to the point. I want to apologise for being such a jerk to you." Mikey began. "...And I know I should have apologized when we first met, and why didn't I do so earlier? *Sigh* You see, I, just like you, was a victim to bullying. And you can guess who it was."
"Bud?" Ally answered and Mikey nodded.
"Yep, he was the one who caused me pain. That's when I figured that if I joined him, maybe I wouldn't be bullied by him. That meant that I was told to do what he wanted me to do, even before we go out to make others miserable. I felt bad on the inside, even the outside of me didn't show my sympathy." Mikey went on, but then stopped to wipe away a tear.
"That's when that day arrived, the day Bud called you that name." Mikey went on after wiping away another tear.
"I was going to ask you that. Why did you help me?" Ally asked him and Bud got off his seat and went to her and took her hand in his.
"The reason why I helped you was because you were with my sister. Before Bud and Chad and I ambushed you, I saw you with that group and the other group od students with disabilities. My sister was one of them, the one you were with..." Mikey then looked at Ally's eyes. "...I was so amazed at how patient you were with her. It reminded of me when I was with her, making her feel happy, even in a world that would not accept her due to her being mentally retarded. But you...you excepted her like a normal human. You pushed aside her disability and saw another side of her that only I did. You saw a person who was alone and needed a friend." That's when Mikey started to cry.
Ally was quick to hold him in her arms and hushed him to help him calm down. "Shh. Please, don't cry."
"I can't help it. I just feel awful for all the things I did to you."
Mikey couldn't stop crying as Ally held him in an effort to calm him down. She just tried to help him feel better, but he was pouring out a lot of hurt and grief. After a while, Ally noticed Rachel pull up in her black and silver Camaro and walk towards them.
"What's going on?" she asked, curiously.
"Mikey was just apologizing, but he's still upset about what happened," said Ally.
Rachel nodded and looked at Mikey, who glanced up at her. "Mikey, do you want to come to the Mansion with us?" she asked.
At the word, Mikey gasped and shook his head. "No! I can't go back there. The aliens might hurt me.
Rachel shook her head and kneeled to his eye leve,. "I don't think they will. You see, after what you did last month, they have started to reconsider you. What I am trying to say is this, Mikey, the aliens and I thank you for helping Ally."
Mikey lowered his head, feeling unsure, but Ally patted his shoulder. "Mikey, I know it seems hard to change, bit it is easy. I forgive you for all that you did, as well as Chad. I know that Chad had a rough life, but I don't blame him for what happened. It was never his fault, but rather his fathers actions. He is forgiven, as are you. Mikey, I want to be your new friend."
Mikey looked up at Ally and Rachel and saw that they were right. He smiled and hugged Ally again. "Thank you. Thank you so much."
"So, you still want to go to the Mansion with us?" Rachel asked.
Mikey finally nodded his head and he and Ally got into the car, and Rachel drove off. The mansion was soon up ahead and Ally took hold Mikey's hand, ready to lead him into the building. As the door opened and they stepped inside and waked into the living room, the aliens inside looked at them.
"Guys, meet my new friend."
