Best Friend?

Chapter 10

- Annalise -

I'm trying to wake up. It's just a hard Decision. If I leave the world, I leave without Lucy and Dad. If I don't leave the world, I'm without Jake. Jake is moving to Colorado. He told me that one time he was in here. He's moving to Denver. I'm kind of sad. That's why I should leave the world. But Lucy and Dad. I'm so confused and I don't know what to do to. I swear, I'm trying to wake up. I really am.

Today is the day. The day I'm leaving. Also, the day they're putting Lise down. Or putting her to sleep. She's been out for 2 months. There's nothing they can do. She's obviously not meant to wake up. I mean she's not going to.

I got to the hospital. I walked into her room. I grab the letter out of my pocket. I read aloud the letter. "Dear Annalise, you've been accepted to play Softball at the University of Michigan. We know you're young but, we think it's the right decision. You've shown impeccable sportsmanship and ability. You're truly a star. I hope you take this into consideration. Thank you, Melissa Rubble, Exuctive Producer." I teared up as I held her hand. I felt hands stroking mine.

"Lise! You're awake." I screamed. "Damn right I am." She joked and I couldn't help but, laugh. "You got accepted." I told her. "I know. I heard every word." She smiled. "I decided to wake up. You need to get a doctor." She reminded me. "Oh right." I said and bolted out the door. I stopped the first person in scrubs. "Lady! My girlfriend woke up." I screamed. "Name?" She asked. "Annalise Price." I told her and she ran to the room.

I'm so fucking happy. My girlfriend woke up. I'm leaving though. Why? Why do I have to move? Might as well break up with her now. I ran to the room. "Lise, we need to break up." I told her and she nodded. "I understand." She sighed. "I'll miss you." I told her and handed her the letter. I left the room without another word. Bye Babe. I'm going to miss you.

*2 Months later*

I'm doing great. I'm just fine. I don't miss Jake at all. What am I saying? I'm a mess. Such a mess, Dad said, if I don't get my grades up, I can't play ball at U of M. I need to get those grades up. I've been speaking to Hayes. We've started texting again. I'm actually starting to forgive him.

A: Hayes, I'm a wreck

H: You still haven't gotten over him?

A: He left me the day I woke up and didn't even say goodbye

H: Okay. I'm sorry. Guess what?

A: What?

H: I got a different girl

A: Who?

H: Uhhh. Kalyn

A: Oh cool. I don't like her

H: Why?

A: She kissed Matthew when we were dating

H: ooh I didn't know

A: Eh it's fine. I've got to go. I've got a song to practice

Tonight is the Full Moon Jam. Apparently in January, there's a dance. Freshmen can only go if they're asked by upper classmen. I'm singing a song there and so is Bella. I also, got asked to the dance by Kenny Holland. Super cute Junior Boy. He's sweet and he sings too. We're singing a duet together.

Bella came over to help me get ready. I curled my hair and ran my fingers through it. I want wavy hair. I put on my new dress I got. It's black and it goes down to my mid thigh. I put on eyeliner and that's it. Eyeliner is the only make up I wear. I heard a doorbell and I'm guessing it's Kenny.

I flew down the stairs. Well, flew down mostly. I'm wearing heels. I opened the door. "Hey." I said to Kenny. "Hi. Are you ready?" He asked me and I nodded grabbing my jacket. He opened the door for me. "Thanks." I muttered. I hear a tiny "You're welcome" come from him.

I'm a little scared. Kenny and I sang our song already and now it's time for my solo. I'm so scared. I've never sang in front of this many people. I'm singing Young Blood by Bea Miller.

We were making history

Breaking rules and Breaking free

Questioning the writing on the wall

Coming from the underground

Laughing as we're falling down

Soaking in the glory of it all

But in dark times when we close are eyes

It's a nightmare

It's a nightmare

When the sun don't shine we lose our minds

But I swear

We can get there

We've got young Blood

Can't destroy us

We make our own luck in this world

We've got young Blood

No one chose us

We make our own love in this world

Someday we could run away

See it all before the pictures fade

And bottle up the feeling in a jar

Pass around to all our friends

We can real it in and fall again

Huddled in the backseat of the car

But in dark times when we close our eyes

It's a nightmare

It's a nightmare

But when the sun don't shine we lose our minds

But I swear

We can get there

We've got young Blood

Can't destroy us

We make our own luck in this world

We've got young Blood

No one chose us

We make our own love in this world

And the voices will get loud

If we Never long to shut them out

If you're lost you can be found

If you follow me til you hear the sound

Put 'em up Put 'em up now

If you know we're never backing down

We're never backin' down

No

We've got young Blood

Can't destroy us

We make our own luck in this world

We've got young blood

No one chose us

We make our own love in this world

We've got young blood

Can't destroy us

We make our own luck in this world

We've got young blood

No one chose us

We make our own love in this world

Yeah

Yeah

Cause' we've got young blood

I finished the song and everybody started cheering. I've never felt so happy in my entire life
