memories

chapter 11

ANNA POV

- "what're you do-" i hug her before she gets to finish her sentence

- "i'm so glad you're okay" i tell her

- "um why wouldn't i be... um shouldn't i be the one saying that to u like i did kind of leave u crying on ur front lawn" she says as she gently pulls away from the hug and looks down at the floor.

- "oh right um actually can we talk inside?"

- "uh i really don't think that's a good id-"

- "please... this is really important"

- she looks at me for a while and she lets out a sigh finally giving into my desperate plea. "okay. come on in"

- i smile and proceed to walk inside the house. she shuts the door and leads me to her room.

- we enter her room and she closes the door and continues to sit on her bed. i just stand in the middle of her room admiring the way she decorated it. wow this looks exactly how it was back in michigan. so many good memories in there.

- "so um... what did u want to talk about?" she asks breaking me out of my daydream

- "oh right ! um i wanted to talk to u about mi-"

- "OH MY GOSH ANNA !"  oh shit i took off my sunglasses unconsciously. my beat up face was exposed.

- "what the fuck happened ?!" she frantically asks

- "it's nothing" i say quickly turning my back towards her and putting the sunglasses back on.

- i hear her stand up from the bed. her hand touches my shoulder gently turning me to face her. she removes the sunglasses slowly and we lock eyes. her eyes filled with worry. she continues to then cup my face into her soft, warm hands. i sink into her touch for a moment. damn suddenly all the pain in my face disappeared. this girl has me feeling some type of way that i could never describe. with her touch... i felt no pain. i fucking love this girl. deeply.

- "who did this to you" she softly whispers as she caresses my cheek still keeping eye contact.

- "michael." i say with my head down. she hugs me almost immediately after i answered. i wince in pain bc of all the bruises around my body. she backs away quickly after hearing me.

- "what's wrong?" she asks. i lift my hoodie revealing the huge bruise across my abdomen. she gasps as she looks at my bruises. her eyes travel back to mine. i see her tearing up. she quickly turns away.

- "you should go home" she whispers. i look at her in confusion.

- "but y/n, michael is dangerous i came here to  see if u were okay. u see what he's capable of"

- "please. just go home." she takes a deep breath. i go towards her and put my hand on her shoulder attempting to turn her around.

- "but he could hurt you nex-"

- "JUST LEAVE ANNA" she snaps at me turning around making me quickly jerk back

- "but y/n i'm doing this bc i lov-"

- "NOTHING U SAY WILL EVER CHANGE THE WAY I FEEL ABT MICHAEL. I DONT LOVE YOU! I DONT EVEN KNOW WHO U ARE"

- i can't believe she said that. even if she somehow forgot me again i still thought that deep deep down she loved me. hearing her say it... i was just in disbelief.

- "y-you don't mean that..." i say choking up on my tears

- "i do. now leave!" she says pushing me away
