**Flashback**

Andy and I were laying on the bed of my truck, me cuddled into his side with his arm wrapped around me. We had blankets on top of us, trying to stay warm on this cold night.

"Why are we doing this on a freezing night?" I asked as my teeth clattered.

"It was either this night or tomorrow night, which is supposed to be colder."
Andy explained.

"Why couldn't we wait until summer to do this?"

"Because, I wanted to do this tonight, just to help keep your mind off of the Annabell situation." Andy said.

"Oh, I don't think anything could keep my mind off of it." I sighed and turned my head into Andy's neck.

"Why do you say that?" Andy moved his head to look at me.

"Because, ever since I was kicked out, Annabell has always been on my mind. The look of hurt on her face as I left her, standing there, with people who didn't care about anyone but themselves, I left her there, no one to properly take care of her. Why didn't I take her with us? Why didn't I make Ashley turn around.? Why? Why?"

"You did what you thought was right, and that's okay." Andy started stroking my hair with one hand and rubbing patterns into my arm with the other. We sat there, in silence, looking up at the stars.
Andy's phone started vibrating, over and over again.

"You should probably answer that." I said and started to move out of the way.

"Nah, it's probably one of the boys." Andy tightened his arms around me. I didn't protest and laid back down. After a few minutes, it started vibrating again.

"Okay, either you answer it, or I do." I said and sat up. He sighed and pulled his phone out of his pocket. He looked confused as he looked at the caller i.d.

"Hello?...." He asked as he answered. "... No, absolutely not... No, no way... I refuse... Did he really say that?... Did you set up a meeting?... Okay,... Alright... See you then... Bye?" He hung up.

"Well?" I asked.

"Juliet just called."

"And?" I pushed.

"Juliet and I are 'dating'," Andy said.

**End Flashback**

I shook my head and looked down at Annabell, hoping that she has the life I never had.

"Hey, Jayden?" Annabell opened her eyes.

"Yes, Anny?" I asked.

"I'm hungry." She said as her stomach growled. She giggled and put her arms around her stomach.

"My little Anny is hungry?!" I exclaimed and picked her up. She nodded and giggled. I carried her out of my cave and into the dance studio. I set her down and watched her as she ran out.

"Jayden! I want pancakes!!" She yelled as she ran up the stairs.

"Alright, alright, I'm coming!" I sighed and walked up the stairs and to the kitchen.

"You're alive!!!" CC exclaimed as he saw me. He ran up to me and hugged me.

"Yup, I'm alive." I awkwardly hugged him back, patting his shoulder.
