Best Friend?

Chapter 26

- Annalise -

I woke up to yelling and screaming. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" Grandma Wiwi yelled. I looked down to the other girls. They were awake too. "What's happening?" I asked them. "Gram is probably fighting with Uncle Drake again." Cass said. Fighting with Uncle Drake? Again? "What do you mean again?" I asked her. "About 1 every 2 months Uncle Drake will smoke crack and Grandma Wiwi will get on his ass for it. It's never been this bad before." She said.

I heard a door slam. I got up because it was 7 am. I took my shower and got dressed. I wore a flowey flower dress. I straightened my hair and put some mascara on. I walked back out to meet with Lori and Cass. We walked downstairs for breakfast.

I ate my breakfast rather quickly. I just wanted to get out of this house. I walked out of the house with Lori and Cass. This was Cass' last day of high school forever. I'm so proud of her. Lori and I walked into our classroom.

"Hi everyone." Mr. Thompson said. "Hi" was shot all around the classroom. "Today, we're going to watch a movie. Just sit down and watch it or don't. I don't care." He seems down. I turned my phone brightness all the way down and texted JJ.

Anna: Hey! I miss you...

JJ: Hi! I miss you too. Don't you have school?

Anna: Mr. Thompson is like being really chill and said we don't have to pay attention to some stupid movie. I think it's called 1941

JJ: Ah. That movie sucked

Anna: That's right. Whatcha doin'?

JJ: Listening to my new song

Anna: What's it called bro?

JJ: California. Jack and I wrote it. It's good. You'll have to listen to it when you come back.

Anna: Yeah. When I come back. Gtg bye bro

JJ: Byeas

Mr. Thompson turned on the lights. "You're free to go to your next class." He shooed us out of his classroom. I scurried off to Mrs. Larosa's class. "Hola, estudiantes." She spoke. "Sientince, por fa vor." She smiled and we all sat down.

"Hey." I said. "Hi." Everyone smiled. I took my seat next to Liz and Lori. Miles was acrossed from me. I didn't even touch my food again. I threw it away. "New Girl!" Parker called. "Idiot!" I fake smiled. He gave a confused look. "You're a player, I know." I told him. He nodded. "You literally wanted just to get inside me and to think, I thought you were cute." I sighed, walking back to my friends. I pulled out my phone.

Day 2 in Compton and I still miss you...

I tweeted that referring to Hayes. I miss him so much. I sat down next to Liz. "You miss him that much?" She asked. I nodded. "You need to tell him how you feel." Miles smiled. "How do I do that?" I asked. "Go see him." Lori said. "I can't just leave you guys." I sighed. "I just got here." I replied. "Stay one more day and if you still miss him, go." Macie said. I nodded and checked Hayes profile.

Hayes @HayesGrier

Only 2 days without you and I miss you like crazy

Awh. That made my heart beat so fast. Lori looked at me. "You're swooning." She told me. We literally have like little conversations over Twitter with each other. Hayes and I. I miss him so much. Should I go see him? I really hope he figured out, I remember him again. It all came to me In a dream. I walked out of the lunch room to my next class.

"Hi Baby." Grandma Wiwi said, as I walked through the front door. "What's wrong?" She asked. "I miss Hayes. Everyone was telling me to go see him but, I just got here and don't want to leave you guys." I sighed. "Baby, I already ordered your ticket. You're flying in tomorrow. I had Lori get all of your closet friends to come here, tonight." She smiled. I hugged her.

Cameron was even coming. Apparently, it only took one date for him and Cass to end up dating. That's too cute. Everyone piled in around 5. Even, Parker. Which, I don't see why he came. We were having lots of fun until, Drake showed up.

I heard grandma Wiwi and him talking in the kitchen. "Just because you're a big shot rapper doesn't mean, you can do drugs!" Grandma Wiwi said. "Ma, I'm sorry. Truly." He sighed. "You have a daughter. You lied about her mother. Amanda Jones did nothing to that child and yet, you told her to be her mom. You paid David Price to pretend to be her father. Her mother is gone. You have to tell her and if you don't, I will. I don't care when, but, you have to." Grandma Wiwi went on and on. I decided to enjoy the party while it lasts.

Liz walked over to me. "I'm going to miss you." She hugged me. "Keep in touch." I smiled. She nodded. Everyone left so, I could a good nights rest before tomorrow. 2 days in Compton and now, I'm going to fly out to Omaha to confess my love for my best friend. Wow.

I ate my dinner slowly since, I had a lot of snacks at the party. I walked upstairs, a little sad I was leaving. I took a shower, again. I won't have time tomorrow. I grabbed my pajamas and put on. I pulled out my book, Why Bother Trying?

"It wasn't a girl. It was me. I'm so sorry." Brandon said. "Brandon, my boyfriend, cheated on me, with my brother. He's gay now?" I asked him. "Yes. Very gay. Me too." Brandon sighed. "Fuck you." I cried. "Mom and Dad are going to kick you out. Disown you and where are you going to go?" I asked him. "I leave for college soon." I told him. "I guess, you could stay with me." I mumbled. "Jackie and I are getting an apartment. You can stay." I sighed. He jumped with glee. "Thank you so much." He hugged me. I curled up in my bed.

I finished my chapter and brushed my teeth. I pulled out my phone for a quick tweet.

Annalise ✨ @annalisejohnson

I closed my eyes and dreams filled my head.
