fall

Chapter thirteen

*your not romeo*
-
Annie;

I stand there shocked, I'm convinced he doesn't see me till he yells for me to open the window.
"Brennan? Your not Romeo, I'm going back to bed" I joke, I always joke when I don't know what to do.
"Come on annie, lets talk on the roof"
He says pointing to a ladder leading up. "Where did you get that?" I ask.
He tells me he took it from his garage and carried it all the way over here.
He begins the climb the ladder and I'm reluctant at first but I decide to get it over with, I run to my bathroom and quickly brush my teeth and hair before quietly sneeking down the steps and out the back door.
The ladder seems wobbly and I'm hesitant to climb up, Brennan peeks down and waves for me to come up.
I take the first few steps up scared but as I keep moving it gets easier, and not long after I'm on the roof.
No flowers, no picnic, no card, just Brennan. I take a seat just far enough away from him so I'm not to close.
And then we sit, for what seems like ten minutes without a word and I'm hesitant but I break the silence.
"Why'd you do it?" I ask, there's no smirk from him, no princess, he's all business.

"I know katie told you about the bet, when I met you I knew you'd fall for me, but I never thought I'd find myself falling for you, I'm sorry annie, really sorry, when the et was over I was never going to break up with you, I just didn't want you to find out about it and the guys to find out I liked you, please forgive me, please"
He says and leans back.
"What's the point? So you can hurt me again? And what, we have to stay a secret, 'the guys' can never know? What's the point? We'll just crash and burn" I huff and turn my head away so Brennan can't see the tears running down my cheeks.

He sighs "I dont know what to say, other than you mean more to mean than anyone else in the world, an I love you"
I tense up as the words leave his mouth, in a perfect world I could see us together, but this isn't a perfect world.
He takes two fingers and reaches toward my chin, turning my head.
I get a good look in his eyes, and I notice something I've never seen before, sadness, his eyes aren't alive like they usually are, they look diffrent, depressed.
And then his lips, and I imagine the times I've kissed them, and how even though I don't want to I think about kissing him now, and for a moment I imagine that this is a perfect world, and that well live happily ever after.
"Come on annie, just fall" he says, he wants me to fall in love with him but what he doesn't know is I already have. and then he kisses me, and I realize this is as close to a perfect world as ill ever get.
