Chapter 5

Emily's Pov:

I woke up the next morning extremely tired. I didn't get the best of sleep, but when do I ever do? My motivation to force myself out of and go to school was lacking more than ever. All it is is another horrible, pathetic, uninteresting day. In addition, I'll be stuck listening to my friends talk about how they met Anna. I close my eyes just wanting a few more minutes to sleep in, but groaned as I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. As usual, I go through the same morning routine when I get ready for school.

I lock my door as I walk outside. Then I sit on my porch and wait for my friends. As I wait I stare at my shoes and began messing with my shoe laces. I did that for a few minutes before I heard giggling. I look up getting ready to go, but only to find a family walking around. A mother, a father, and their two children, a son and daughter. All four of them loving each others company. Smiling. Laughing. Everything you'd expect from a loving family. You don't see that with mine. However, even though I live in a nightmare, I shouldn't be complaining, there are other people suffering from much worse.

I waited for another 5 minutes until my friends finally arrived. I get up and walks towards them. I noticed them smiling more than usual....like they did something they weren't supposed to do. They all look at me and grinned even more. I raise an eyebrow.

"What'd you guys do?" They all look at each other than back at me. "Nothing" Skylar says. "Are you sure?" I question again.
"Yes we are" Taylor reassures me. I decide to just drop it. "Um..ok"

Before we reached school I had to ask, even if it made me burn with jealously, I just had to. "What was meeting Anna..like?"

"It was a dream come true" replied Jordan. "Oh" was all I simply said.

"Yea. She was so sweet. Her driver told us that she had to go, but she stayed for a few minutes to talk to us...and take a picture—well more like to sign something." Taylor finishes. "That is...um....well..you..guys are...lucky" I manage to say. I adjust to my backpack and clear my throat. "Later guys" I mumble as I walk away.

Jordan's Pov:

"Later guys" I look at Emily as she walk away. I frown. I feel kinda bad that she had a chance to meet Anna, but she didn't. We did. Now we're here talking about it. I shake my head. She'll definitely get over it by the end of the day. Well once we show her, her surprise. I turn back around to see Skylar and Taylor leaving. "WAIT UP GUYS!" I shout.

As I catch up to them I've been meaning to ask them something that has been on my mind for awhile.

"Have you guys...notice...some things different about Emily?"

"You mean the way she's been distancing herself away from us. The fact that she doesn't talk to us as much as she did at the beginning of the year. No not at all," Skylar replies with sarcasm. "but it won't matter because she'll be back to normal" she finishes. I just shrugged and keep walking.

- {End of school day}

I rush up to Skylar when I see her turning around the corner of the hall. "Skylar!" I exclaim out of breath. It takes a few minutes for me to finally breath normally again.

"Ok. We have to hurry and get that cd to Em before she leaves. She said that she is in a hurry and that she has to get home early"

"Ok. Where is she?" She asked.

"Just follow me," I say grabbing her wrist and dragging her out the school. "She's over there with Taylor" I point over to the area of the spot we met Anna at. I turn back to face Skylar. "Hurry get the cd out" I look back over my shoulder to see Emily trying to pull herself away from Jordan's grip. "Hurry!"

"Ok hold on" Skylar snaps. She finally finds the cd and zips her bag up.

"Lets go" she says as she starts running.

Skylar puts her the cd behind her so Emily doesn't see it. "Hey guys" I say trying to regain my breath. Emily looks at us and yanks her arm out from Jordan's grasp. "What is it? I have to be home now." she says looking down at the ground. "Why are you in such a hurry?" I ask.

She looks back up. "I just have to," she answers softly. "Um...so what is it that you needed to show or give me...or whatever"

"Since we knew how much you really wanted to see Anna, but didn't....well.......what kind of best friends are we if we didn't take your pitch perfect cd...an-" I get cut off by Emily. "Wait you guys took m-"

"Yes we did, but you'll love us after we show you why we took it" Taylor says interrupting her. Skylar pulls out the cd from behind her back and hands it to Emily. However, instead of Emily jumping up and down and screaming, her reaction was what we did not suspect.

"Emily?"

Emily's Pov:

"Emily?" Jordan asks. I don't reply. I'm shocked. In Skylar's hand is my cd...signed by Anna Kendrick. I felt tears in my eyes. I blink trying to get rid of them, but I couldn't hold them back. I can't believe they did this. I tried to smile, but knowing that they did this just makes me cry even harder. "T-thanks" I stuttered out. "This r-really means so much to me," I go over to them and pull them all in a hug. "Thank you guys. I.....love......you" I finish as I finally manage to smile. I wipe my tears away. "I love it. Anyway I have to go," I croak out. "Thanks again."

On my way home I turn the cd and read what Anna wrote. It said:
Dear Emily,

What a beautiful name. Anyway, your friends told me that you couldn't make it, but they remembered about you. You have such incredible friends. I don't know anyone that would've done that for their friend.I have to go now. Just remember. You're one lucky girl Emily. Love the one and only Anna Kendrick.

I felt a smile. Not a fake and forced smile, but a real smile spread across my face. I closed my eyes and held it closely to myself. This is something that I won't ever forget. Its something my best friends did for me since I couldn't go. Something that doesn't always happen to someone like me.

-

I drop my bag on the ground as I came in inside. Don't think my life is turning around. Don't think that just because I got my cd signed by Anna Kendrick that my life will just be starting to get better and better to the point that I live a normal life. No. I still live with two parents that wants nothing to do with me. This cd is the only thats keeping me from breaking down....at least for now it is.

I began heading upstairs only to be stopped when the door bell rings. I jump thinking its my parents, but remember that if it was them they would just barge in. I sigh,but turn around and head down.

"Hel-" I freeze.
