"Hey babe, when you get this call me... Please." Its the second time I call Anthony and he doesn't answer.

Ring*

"Hello.."
"Hey, sorry I didn't answer I was busy doing my college application, so I put my phone on silent.."
"Oh it's OK, I just need someone to talk to right now.. Can you come over?"
"Of course, I'll be there soon..."

I needed someone to talk about Natasha with, and I wouldn't dare to talk to Alex about her, especially because they're dating and I don't want any problems. So Anthony was my guy. He always listens and supports me and that's only one of the things I love about him.
After a while of waiting Anthony texted saying he was outside so I went downstairs and opened the door for him. "You could've just rang the doorbell.." I mentioned and he just smiled. "Hello to you too." He then said. I smiled at him and pecked his lips.
He then sat on the couch, and I beside him, "Want some water?"
"I'd love some water.." He smiled.

So I got up and walked over to the kitchen to get him some water. "You're voice was in a sad tone on the phone.. What's wrong?" Anthony asks from the living room. "I wanted to talk about Natasha.." I reply slowly, walking over and handing him his water. "Thanks.."
"She hasn't been going to church and I'm really worried about her, because she's still grieving over her parents divorce and whenever any of us, especially Alex, tries to talk to her about how God can help her she just shuts us down."

"And the last time we did she ran away and you had a panic attack right before finding her.."

"Exactly." I add, with tears forming in my eyes. "Come here.." Anthony says, as he wraps his arms around me noticing my tears. "I don't want her to escape from her problems, and I certainly do not want her walking away from God... And I know that it has to be her choice to come back to God... But I want to show her what amazing things God can do for her if she just accepts him.." I say slowly.

"I know, you want the best for her, and you will have you're chance, but in the meantime, wait and let her get used to her parents splitting..."

I simply just nod my head.
"I Love You." Anthony says, as he kisses my forehead. "I Love You More." I reply.

Later on

As me and Anthony were watching TV, mom and dad walk in with Beth. "Hey Bunny!" I exclaim, "How was your birthday day with mom and dad?"
"It was fun! They bought me new clothes and they even bought me an American Girl doll!" She squeals. I chuckle at her cuteness. Well that was only half of your day, now it's my turn. "Is Anthony coming too?"
"I don't know, why don't you ask him.."
She then stands in front of Anthony in soldier position. "Are you coming with me and Jess for the rest of my birthday day?"
"Of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world.." She smiles and runs off upstairs.

"Where are you taking her, honey?" Mom asks, organizing Beth's new clothes on the counter top. "Build-a-bear.. Did she eat yet?"
"Yes, dear."

Then Beth come back down.

"Ready!" She exclaims.
"Let's Go Then.." I reply.
