I Still Think You're Beautiful and i Don't Ever Want to Lose My Best Friend

You Could Ever Say Would Change the Way I Feel About You

I rushed over to Vic and gave him a long hug. "Worried 'bout Texas again, darling?" He whispered into my hair, and I just nodded. "Don't worry he's not going to find you here in San Diego, Annabear, I won't let anything happen to you, you're safe here." He soothed knowing that I was worried about the man who had set my house on fire with my family and I inside. Kissing me on the forehead he pulled back, "so, what is so damn important that you felt the need to wake me up at seven in the morning?" he joked, trying to lighten my mood a bit which I appreciated greatly; as soon as he got here I felt safe, he just has the ability of making me feel better just by looking at him.

"Nothing, I just thought that you could use a wake up call of great excitement!" I said while flinging my arms open wide.

"Well, in that case, mission accomplished, let's go watch a movie!" he more or less yelled in "excitement" as he went he called dibs on picking the movie, which meant that I would be doomed to watch a random horror movie.

"You know I hate horror movies!" I complained in a whiney tone.

"I know Annabanana, if you get scared we can snuggle," he joked winking at me, if only he knew how much I'd love to take him up on that offer, I've had a slight crush on him for the past couple of months, but I haven't said anything about it for fear of risking our friendship and losing the best friend I've ever had.

"Oh, how good of you, my kind sir," I joked right back pushing feelings away. we sat down on the couch in the living room and I immediately cuddled in to him for support and for fear of the movie.

Vic's POV

I woke up to the sound of my cell phone telling me that I had a text message from Annaleigh, I had set a special text tone for her so that I would know that it was an important text. I unlocked my phone and read the text.

"Hey, Viccy."

"Hey, Annabear, what's wrong sweetheart?" I answered quickly, knowing that something was up.

"I had the dream again, it all felt so real, I'm trying so hard, Viccy" I was trying to hold back my anger at the man who did this to my Annabear, it was his fault that she had started to self-harm, I swore silently that if I ever found him that he would be done.

"I'm on my way to your place now, don't do anything you'll regret before I get there, please Annabear." I promised, as I threw a old band t-shirt over my lanky body and ran out the door in my pjs after leaving a note for my family so they wouldn't worry about where I was.

I took off running down our street to get to Annaleigh's house and got there in record time. I knocked on the front door and walked in knowing that she would have unlocked it by now knowing that I was on the way. I walked in to find her holding herself and trying not to cry and all I wanted to do was go over and kiss her and tell that everything is going to be okay, but I had to keep my feelings out of this, she's still too fragile to have to deal with my feelings as well as hers.

She ran over to me and started hugging me "Worried 'bout Texas again, darling?" I asked softly. I could feel her nod her head into my chest and start to breathe heavier. "Don't worry he's not going to find you here in San Diego, Annabear, I won't let anything happen to you, you're safe here." I promised, and I would do my damnedest to make sure that I was here to make that true as much as possible. I kissed her on the forehead and pulled back taking a deep breath, "so, what was so damn important that you felt the need to wake me up at seven in the morning?" I asked jokingly, hoping to lighten the mood somewhat.

"Nothing, I just thought that you could use a wake up call of great excitement!" She joked flinging her arms out, like she was about to give someone a bear hug.

"Well, in that case, mission accomplished, let's go watch a movie!" I yelled feigning "excitement" I called picking the movie because she had chosen last time, I picked a horror movie knowing that she was terrified of them, hoping, selfishly, that she would end up in my lap.

"You know I hate horror movies!" she complained in a cute whiney tone.

"I know Annabanana, if you get scared we can snuggle," I said only partially joking, I sent a wink, she blushed, but I don't think she noticed and it was completely adorable.

"Oh, how good of you, my kind sir," she replied in the same joking tone as she snuggled in to me I'm sure more for support than anything else, someone as amazing as her could never have feelings for me.

Okay, I know it's moving pretty slowly right now, but I promise that it will get better, I just have to get all the boring introductions and background out of the way. The next chapter will continue right where I left off!

I really hope that this story is being enjoyed! Please leave a comment letting me know what you think, I don't want to continue this if I'm boring you!

P.S. the rest of The band will be coming in shortly (and I know that it won't be how it actually happened, just letting you know in advance)
