I Need Space

~ Johnnys Perspective ~

Later that night I went up to mine and Annies room and I see her ring? She never takes off her ring?! When I look up I see Annie come out of the bathroom and she was packing

"Where are you going" I asked

She stayed silent for a minute and then started to talk "I need some space..."

I gave her a confuse look "what?"

"I'm going on a vacation...for two weeks..." She says in a low voice

"You're just going to leave the kids like that?!!" I said in a slightly angry tone

She didn't reply back

"Whatever, why'd you take the ring off then" I already knew what was going to happen but I still asked

"You gave me that ring because I agreed to be your girlfriend....and you thought I said yes because I love you...I don't...and I never will...so that ring is better off on a girl who actually loves you..." she says as she keeps packing

My heart broke into a million pieces...deep down I knew she didn't love me but hearing her actually say it hurts ten times more

"D-Does this mean you want to break up..." I asked

She ignored the question "my flights going to be here soon...I'll talk to the kids and then leave..." she says as she slowly left the room

I sat on the bed starring at the floor...the pain wouldn't stop...everything I was feeling, I wanted it to stop, I tried thinking about happy thoughts but the pain wouldn't go away

....it was like the pain I was feeling when my mom died...

~ Annies Perspective ~

I said bye to the kids and then got on my flight, the whole time I was thinking about Josh and Emily....I want to do what's best for them but I don't know how....and my negativity isn't good for them right now

I sat down on my sit, a few minutes later a boy sat next to me, he was smiling, then he turns to look at me "hey"

I gave him a confused look "hey.."

"What's wrong?" He asked

"Nothing.." I said lying, he was a stranger, I don't even tell Johnny how I feel

"....I'm William..." he said changing the topic, he knew I didn't want to talk about it

"I'm Annie..." I said as I give him a smile

"Your very pretty" he says, which made me smile a little

"It's the make up making me look pretty" I say chuckling, he laughed with me

"Hmm I bet you're beautiful without make up" he said still smiling at me

For the first time I wasn't putting on a fake smile, I was actually happy, I know Johnny calls me beautiful but when Johnny says it he says it like he doesn't mean it...but William said it like he meant it
