Ty's POV:
I've been giving Annie space for a month now. I want to think she's being stubborn. To be truthful, she is just protecting her heart.So, after my shift at the spa I called Cece for advice. She actually came to the spa and we talked. She said the same thing as Mum, that I should just give Annie her space.
Before she left she gave me a hug and told me Annie would come 'round eventually.

The next day, I woke up feeling pretty tired. I had gotten like three hours of sleep and was nearly late for school.
As I stroll through the hallway to the cafeteria, I spot Annie walking through the crowd to her usual lunch table.
I want to go talk to her. To apologise. To tell her how scared I was when I was at the hospital. To tell her I lov-
My thoughts are suddenly interupted when Luke comes up to me and starts gossiping about the girls in our year.
"-and Trent and Brooke got back together, again." Luke says.
"Big shocker!" I sarcastically gasp as we walk over to our table, the baseball team members and their friends table.
"Hey Gabe! You owe me twenty bucks!" I laugh as he sits down next to me. We talk about what we are gonna do over the summer, when suddenly Gabe taps my arm.
"What?" I ask turning to him.
"Look. What's up with Annie and Jackson Lewis?" Gabe asks as I follow his gaze to Jackson leaning against the table Annie is sitting at.
She is laughing at something he said and he is playing with a loose strand of her hair.
As I starts to get up so I can walk over to Jackson to ask him to leave her alone Luke raises his voice, "Don't!"
"I wasn't going to do anything." I lie sitting back down.
"I call BS." Luke says firmly.
"Fine. I'm cool. Nothing wrong!" I say putting up my hands innocently.
"Yeah, yeah." Luke rolls his eyes and changes the subject to some article he read lately.
* * *
After school I watch as Annie and Jackson walk next to each other laughing all the way to Annie's house.
Gabe and Luke are always saying I should come to more parties. I just kinda don't like those sort of things. I prefer not to deal with hormonal drunk teenagers.
But, ignoring all reason and I text them in the group chat.
Ty
Any parties on soon?Gabe
Yeah, Rachel's parents are out of town so she's throwing one tonight.Ty
Ok. Can I catch I ride w/ u?Luke
Tyler Townsend is going to a party? Without being forced! I have to be there for that.I laugh out loud at Luke's text as I walk around the street to my house.
In the drive way is a dusty green 1963 chevrolet pick-up truck. "What?" I yell excitedly as I run up to Neville Wharton's old car he is selling to me.
Mum and Neville smile at me as I run up to my house. "Your Mum was saying the other day that you've already got your half of the money for the car. So I thought I would drop her off to you." Neville says smiling.
"Oh my god! Thank you so much!" I say excitedly gazing at my new second-hand car.
"It's okay. Just take good care of her. Fix her up a bit." Neville says.
"Wanna take her for a spin?" He asks as I nod.
I quickly hug Mum then hop in the truck and spend the rest of the afternoon with Neville teaching me how to drive the truck.
* * *
After dropping Neville at his home I quickly go home so I can get changed.
Then I drive by Gabe's house."Sweet ride." He says sarcastically as he climbs into the passengers seat.
"Its a car. I don't care what it looks like. It drives at least." I say as I drive to Luke's.
"Hello gentlemen." Luke says as he sits in the spot between me and Gabe.
"You know what I like about old cars?" He asks as I drive.
"What?" I ask.
"They always have heaps of space in the front seats." Luke says as Gabe turns up the music and Luke continues droning on.
I smile and laugh at my stupid friends, the whole time feeling like someone's missing. Like there's a girl holding a camera sized gap in my heart.
