Embrace

Chapter 4

(Annabeth's POV)

"I'm so tired!" I said sitting down on a chair we found.

"Are you hurt?" She asked.

"No, just tired. What's this?" I asked walking over to a bag. It was bag with a dress in it. I opened it and it was a purple dress, strapless and had a purple band. The top part with silver with sparkles. "This is beautiful!" I said.

"It was for my friends party. She wanted to do prom again, so we had to buy a formal dress. I'm sure I have shoes to match," She rummaged through the walk in closet and came out with the same coloured shoes. "You want to try it on?" She asked.

"Sure," I agreed happily. I took the dress and shoes and went to the bathroom. I got changed and the dress fit me, the shoes were a perfect fit as well. I walked out and Kirstie was now sitting on my chair.

"Wow you really suit that!"

"Thanks," I said.

"You want to keep it?" She offered.

"Can I?" She nodded. "Thanks, I now at-least have one clothing item for the closet," I got changed out of it and put it in the closet.

"Scott will be coming for you soon," Kirstie said.

"Okay, you want to get an appointment for tomorrow at the doctors?" She nodded and went away on the phone. I sat on the window ledge and looked outside. It was starting to get dark, the trees looked so bare. The leaves were blowing about the place.

"I've got an appointment for 10 tomorrow morning, you want to come?" Kirstie offered.

"Of course, I do!" At that moment the front door opened, Scott and Mitch came walking in and sat down on the couch.

"How was your day?" I asked sitting next to Scott.

"Good, yours?"

"Good, we cleared out the room!" I said.

"Does that mean your moving in here soon?" He asked alarmed.

"Soon, but not immediately," I said, he sighed in happiness. "I would like to get my stuff from Rosie's, is there any news on her? He shook his head.

"Oh, okay, well I need to go and get keys." I said.

"Where are they?"

"Where are what?"

"The keys?" He asked.

"Oh, in a secret place outside the house,"

"Do you want to go tomorrow and get stuff?" I nodded.

"Well we better go and-"

"Wait!" I interrupted "I need to do something with Kirstie at 10 tomorrow morning,"

"Well we can go after," Mitch said. I nodded and we said goodbye, and left. We went back and I got changed into my pjs straight away.

"I'm gonna go and sleep, good night." I kissed Mitch on the cheek and Scott on the lips. I went through and lay down, and tried to sleep.

(Scott's POV)

"I wonder why she's away to bed early?" Mitch asked.

"Don't know, now go and get ready and I'll take you too your date," He sighed and went through.

"It's not a date," He shouted from his room.

"Yeah, okay!" I said sarcastically. I sat down and watched TV until he came out, I drove him to a bar and came back.

"Are you home?" Annabeth shouted.

"No, it's a burglar,"

"Really!" She shouted through.

"Yes I'll steal all your money!" I said walking through. She was lying with the covers just up to her stomach. I walked over and lay beside her.

"I've been looking at courses for film directing," She put on glasses.

"You have glasses?" I asked.

"I always wear contacts, but I've run out. I hate my glasses, I look bad in them," She said groaning.

"I think you look as gorgeous as ever!" She blushed.

"So back to these film courses, there's a few at local colleges, I really like them. So I'm going to fill out an application and see what happens!" She said.

"Good, we can work on that tomorrow night, now you should get some sleep!" I said. She rolled her eyes.

"But I'm not tired!" She said pouting.

"What do you want to do?" I asked.

"Can we go for a walk, in the dark, like a pair of nutters?" She asked laughing.

"Sure, go and get changed," She got up and put on leggings, and put on a jumper.

"Let's go then!" She said walking out.

Hey guys, sorry it took so long again! Quite a boring chapter, I know but I hope it's okay? Love y'all! (P.S the dress at the top is the dress Annabeth tries on)
