Wake Up Call Chapter 1

Title: A Late Night Call

Note: a little story I made after I watched the episode when Alison became good friends with Conner; I thought the episode was totally cute! :D

Conner lay sleeping on his bed, until a loud tone had caused him to wake up. Realizing it was his cell phone Conner groaned as he extended his hand towards his lamp table trying to find the cell phone that lay atop it. Finally feeling it, he grasped the phone his hand bringing it close to his ear to pick it up.

'Who could be calling me this late.' Conner thought as he held his cell phone in his hand. 'Maybe its Sharon or Maria.' He thought answering his own question.

"Hello." Conner replied in a pretty husky voice, his voice often sounded like that when he has just wakened up.

"Conner." Replied a girl's voice, neither a voice that didn't match Sharon nor Maria's voice.

"Alison?" asked Conner as he sat up, realizing it was she.

"Oh, Conner! I'm sorry for waking you up." Cried the voice on the line.

"No, its ok." Said Conner sitting up, as he quickly glanced at his alarm clock. Squinting his eyes he was able to read it 1:19 am. "What's wrong?" he asked in concern, knowing she had not called for any apparent reason.

"I had a bad dream." Whispered Alison on the line, "I didn't mean to wake you up. I just didn't know whom to call. Nina would of freaked if I called her up." She quickly added Conner knew she was feeling sorry.

"Hmm, its ok what's up?" asked Conner with a deep concern as he slowly sat up on his bed resting his back against his backboard.

"I had this nightmare. Remember I told you about the nightmares I sometimes have in the cafeteria." Alison said slowly, as she seemed to be taking deep breaths trying to calm down.

"Yeah." Replied Conner as he slightly nodded his head, even if she couldn't see him.

"I had another one . it was like really bad." Whispered Alison her voice sounded frightened just speaking of it.

"I see." Whispered Conner as he waited for Alison to explain more.

"My dad's not home, he's at some firefighter convention. And I had this nightmare you know, there was the siren of the fire truck going off. It was like some house caught on fire. I was standing outside of it, you know how I was the time Life Cycles was on fire?" replied Alison, pausing for a while for Conner to answer her question, checking if he was still there.

"Hmm, yah." Said Conner, after a few seconds realizing she was waiting for an answer.

"I was standing outside, and my dad wasn't coming out. All his co-workers were coming out but he wasn't. And then the building just collapsed, and I shot up." Said Alison, her voice was now shaking.

"I can't go back to sleep." She whispered her voice was still trembling.

"It's ok. We can just talk until you get tired." Replied Conner, he remembered when he would have his nightmares and much he couldn't go to sleep.

"Are you sure?" asked Alison, her voice unsure but he could tell she was hoping he would say yes.

"Yah. We can talk about everything and anything until you feel tired or fall asleep." Replied Conner in the most sincere voice.

"Thanks Conner." Whispered Alison as she softly sighed. "So how was your day?" she asked wanting to strike a conversation.

"Hmm." Replied Conner as he tried to think about his day. 'That's right' he thought as he just remembered his day. "Well, went to school, heh thank god it's the last day and we're hitting spring break. And went to Life Cycle's with Sharon and Maria. Yah, that's pretty much my day."

"Sounds like fun." Replied Alison almost in her usual cheerful voice. "I'm glad spring break is starting too." She added as she giggled.

"Yah, it seemed forever. I thought it was never going to come." Commented Conner as he heard Alison giggle in turn. "So what are your plans during the break?" he asked hoping he'd see Alison at least once during the break.

"Well that's a good question. I'm not sure you know?" she replied, as her voice drift... Not enough points to view full story!
