O'Long shippers, I'm sorry for what you're about to read. & I love you guys.
"Allie ?" a familiar voice called.
The midfielder turned around, her hands full with the medication she got for Lindsey. As she was on her way back to the younger's room, she passed by the visiting room. Her eyes immediately saw what was going on, and went wide a little bit. Kelley's mother, Karen, was walking toward her vigorously, before pulling her into a tight hug. As Allie was hugging her back, she looked above her shoulder to see Kelley, sitting in front of her father Dan.
During the time they dated, Allie got to spend some time in New Jersey with Kelley. Her parents accepted their relationships after a few months, when they saw their daughter was totally happy with the blonde. It was Allie's happiest year yet. But ever since they broke up, she's been through hell.
Karen O'Hara let her go, smiling widely.
"Why don't you join us ?" she kindly asked. "Kelley told us you were out for the day ?"
As they were walking toward the table, Allie felt Kelley's glare on her. What the hell is going on here ? Do they think we're still together ? She offered Karen a kind smile, and looked down at the medication in her hands.
"I-uhm, well, I was supposed to do something, but one of my friend got sick so I came back to giver her... that" Allie quickly made up, before sitting down next to Kelley.
The light brunette tried to hide her fear. She gently kissed Allie's cheek, and looked at her parents again. Allie shook Dan's hand, still confused about Kelley's weird body language. She seemed beyond embarrassed. Kels, what have you done again ? As she was trying to catch eyes with the freckled girl, she found out Kelley was obviously avoiding any eye contact at all. So Allie frowned.
Dan smiled at her.
"So, how was Italy ?" he asked.
"Italy ?" Allie repeated, confused. "I didn't-"
"Babe, he's talking about your trip in the beginning of the year" Kelley said in a confident tone. She then looked at her parents. "She went twice in two years" she then explained, because they seemed as confused as Allie was.
The blonde glared at Kelley, who gave her a begging look.

"Italy was great !" she then explained.
Holy fuck they think we're still together. That statement was very confusing to Allie, because she didn't know if it was a good of a bad thing. Why would Kelley lie about their breakup, especially if she was dating someone else ?
"Honey, I think that forgetful girlfriend of yours forgot to ask you about next week ?" Karen went on, pride in her eyes.
Allie gave Kelley a concerned look.
"Yeah, I kinda forget to mention it" the freckled girl muttered. "And it's in two weeks time, actually."
"What's in two weeks time ?" Allie asked, beyond confused.
"My brother's getting married" Kelley announced.
"And you're invited, my dear !" Karen exclaimed, taking Allie's cold hands in hers. "You are part of the family now, so that includes boring ceremonies and meeting everyone. I think it's time you meet the rest of the O'Hara clan. You'll love them. Well, maybe my mother isn't very nice sometimes, but-"
"Mom" Kelley interrupted her. "She might have plans". She then panicked : what could she say now ? All eyes were on her, and she couldn't afford her parents knowing about their breakup. She didn't want to force Allie into stupid family plans when they weren't even dating. So the didn't think before saying : "She has to see her brother that day."
Allie immediately reacted. "Well, since he's dead, I think I am pretty free."
Kelley wanted to die right now. How could you forget about that ? Shit. She saw Allie's pain in her eyes. Even though Kelley hated Patrick because he was the worse brother ever, Allie still liked him in a way. Karen and Dan shared a surprised look, then looked at Kelley, and finally at Allie.
Karen squeezed her hands harder.
"I'm so sorry honey" she said in a sweet voice.
"It's okay, it's been weeks now. And we weren't that close." Allie explained, avoiding Kelley's gaze. "I'd like to come to the wedding, if Kelley wants me here".
For the second time in a few minutes, all the attention was on Kelley. The freckled girl looked at her ex-girlfriend, surprised that she would help her escape this weird situation. She then lost herself in her eyes for a moment. Act like she's your girlfriend. It shouldn't be that hard.

She ran her fingers on Allie's cheek, and smiled at her.
"Of course I'd love to have you here, babe" she then said. The worse part was that it was the truth : Kelley wanted Allie in her life again.
"Perfect !" Karen exclaimed.
Allie looked at her watch, and suddenly got up. "I have to hand these to Lindsey. She's been waiting for hours now. She might be dead." That made Kelley's parents laugh. "I'm very glad I got to see you !"
She hugged Karen, and then shook Dan's hand. She then turned to face Kelley.
"Can you help me ?" she then asked, and Kelley nodded.
After the freckled girl said goodbye to her parents, she followed Allie to the corridor. Once they were on the other floor, the blonde just walked straight at Lindsey's room, and gave her medication to Moe. When she saw Kelley was going to escape this weird situation, she grabbed her arm and dragged her into her room.
Once she closed the door, she immediately went to the crunch.
"What were you thinking ?" she practically yelled, before calming down a bit. "We're not dating anymore, Kelley ! Why don't you tell them the truth about that girl you're dating ? Because they obviously think we're still loving each other and stuff ! 'A part of the family', really ? What was I supposed to say ?"
Kelley raised her hands to stop Allie's speech. "I know I fucked up. But I have my reasons." Of course she knew she couldn't escape telling Allie the whole truth. She took a couple deep breaths, before looking at the middy again. "My parents adore you. There was no way I could tell them we broke up ! It's always 'Allie this', 'Allie that'... That's why I made up Italy. That's why I stupidly mentioned your brother. I'm sorry, I fucked up big time."
"Yeah, you really did !"
"But I didn't lie about everything" Kelley hesitantly said, trying to hide her pain. She couldn't believe she just said that.
Allie raised her eyebrows. "I'm glad to hear it" she smirked. "What didn't you lie about, then ? That's an interesting question."
"About being in love with you."
Those words came as a shock. As much as Allie wanted to kiss Kelley and forgive her for everything, something was holding her back from doing so. Instead, she just got even angrier. "I'm sorry, what ?" she yelled.
"I lied about that girl I am supposed to be dating because I thought it'd have made you hate me for this, and then you would've forgotten me faster..." Kelley tried to explain, and the words were sharper and sharper in Allie's ears. The blonde just looked at her with cold eyes.
"Wait, does it mean that you never dated that girl ?" Allie asked, raising her voice. "And that you let me thought you found someone better than I was ? You let me see my biggest fear of being replaced in your heart and then fall into depression ?"
"Depression ?" Kelley asked, truly surprised.
"Yes, I freaking wanted to kill myself because of you !"
Guilt wasn't a strong enough word to describe what Kelley was feeling. The only idea of Allie wanting to hurt yourself because of her just broke her heart into millions of pieces. Why was I so stupid ? Kelley's eyes went wet, which seemed to make Allie even more mad.
"Don't you fucking dare crying !" she yelled, also tearing up. "I loved you for years, Kelley ! And I fucking still do ! But you betrayed me ! You lied to me !"
"I'm so-"
"Don't" Allie sharply said, wiping her tears. She then pulled it together, and said : "I'll come to your brother's wedding. But after that, we're done. I don't want you to come near me ever again, unless it's because of soccer. I don't want you to tell me you love me again. I don't want to feel you breathe next to me ever again. Understand ?"
Kelley tried to hide her pain, but it didn't work out. She messed up. She knew it : this relationship was perfect until she decided to fuck everything up. Her stomach seemed to be upside down, as she said : "I love you, Allie. Always have, always will. I'll spend the rest of my life trying to made it up to you. I'm sorry, I-"
"Understand ?" Allie interrupted her, still trying to look fierce even though her face was drowned in tears.
Kelley's chest suddenly felt so empty. "If that's what you want..." she murmured.
"You know it's not what I want, Kelley. But-"
"Understood."
With that said, Kelley went out of the room, crying her eyes out. I just lost the love of my life. I just deserve to die right now.
