'Don't Blame me' (Original Book Series)

"Call It What You Want"

  The day had barely started and Allison's cell phone had already rang.  It was her mother calling, she answered.

-Hi Mom...
-Allison!  My love, how are things there?...
-They're great, I'm loving every second...
-So does that mean you won't come back?...
-Go back to Pennsylvania?  I'm not going back to live, but rather go on vacation, or even...

Allison is interrupted by her mother.

-...spend Christmas and New Year with us?...
...
-Wow, quick and direct... I didn't expect that.
-So darling, your father is dying to see you, your brother even more so, and so am I.  Come on, Alli would be two months here...
...

Allison thought, and yes, this could be a fresh start for her.  We would never know if she was prepared to return to the past, just finding out to find out... and she missed everyone so much.

-Okay mom, I'll go, I'm dying to put up the tree, eat the food, the cookies.  Mom, can I bring a companion?
-Olivia?  It is clear!
-Also, but someone else...
-Look my daughter, you are moving on, as I expected.  Of course, what's the lucky guy's name?...
-Lian, he is a guitarist, and he is very special to me...
-Every friend of my daughter is family...
...

Allison continues talking to her mother.  In the kitchen was Lian, preparing eggs and bacon.  He seemed a little serious, there was something that was bothering him.  After the coffee is made, Alli comes down and serves herself, she notices that he looks strange.  Her answers were dry and direct.  This was very strange.

-Lian, is everything okay?...
...
- Yes, I just have a headache...
-No, it's not...
-How can you be sure?
-Because I know you somehow...
-You don't know...
-I know you enough to know that when you're lying, you try to pierce your thumb with some object that isn't cutting or sharp... like now, with the handle of a fork...

{Shit!  Now I just need her to say what I'm thinking...}

-Look Alliso, you don't want to know...
-Maybe I do... you help me a lot, I just want to be able to repay... please, believe me...
...
-It's my mother, we're approaching Christmas and I have bad memories from my past.  How I disappointed her when my father died, how I made her cry when she thought I would never change.  My father was the reason I was good, but after what happened I went downhill, until I fell into the water.
...
-Lian, I didn't expect that.  Look, as the duty of most mothers, forgiving their child comes first.  You're not her disappointment, not anymore, prove that you've changed, I'm sure she dreams of seeing you again...
-What if she doesn't want to see me?...
-Do not think like that.  Do you miss her?...

Lian responds by nodding his head with a "Yes."

-Then you can be sure that she is too, more than you are now for her.
-And what should I do?...
- Communicate with her...
-Like this?  Me me...
-Yes, you can do it, I trust you...

Lian looks at his cell phone and picks it up, having great hope deep down.  And if it really works out, he'll be able to apologize to the person who never really disappeared from his mind.  He gets her number and sends her a message, but she doesn't respond.

-I knew I shouldn't have done that...
-No Lian, don't be like that, she won't answer you now... give it some time...

Lian looks impatiently at her and goes to her room, he was nervous, shit was generated in his head.  Only he could solve it, so he decides to delete the message.  What could be done now was to wait, Allison didn't go after him, as she already knew that this moment was just for him and no one else.  He lies in bed looking at the ceiling, thinking about the mistakes he made.  Then the minutes pass and his eyes begin to slowly close, until he falls asleep and falls asleep.  The next day, he wakes up calmer and sees Olivia sitting on her lap.  The door, which was half open, opens completely and Allison appears, with coffee and chocolate cookies.
