Imperfect (a TBNRfrags/Pack fanfiction)

Happiness; Finally (Chapter 28)

Annalee's POV

I wake up the next morning, by myself. I panic, looking around the room. Did Preston leave me?! Was this all some sort of long and crazy dream?! Oh goodness, oh goodness.

My heart practically stops when the door opens but I'm overcome with a wave of relief. It's just Preston.

"Good morning, my lady." He says, smiling as he opens the door more. He's holding a tray.

"I thought you'd like this, considering that you woke up in the middle of the night crying for some people by the names of...um. Sammy, Jordan, and...Bianca I think." Preston says, sitting next to me and handing me the tray.

There was a plate of pancakes, a glass of water, some slices of turkey bacon, and a slice of toast with grape jelly already spread on it.

I smile softly, looking down at the tray.

"You're the best boyfriend in the whole entire world. You know that, right?" I ask, watching a cheeky grin make its way to his face.

"Of course I do, I mean, I have the best girlfriend in the whole entire world after all." He says, making me blush. He chuckles, kissing my cheek.

"Eat up. I want to spend the entire day with you. It's Valentine's Day after all." Preston murmurs to me before leaving the room. I laugh quietly, beginning to eat the breakfast he prepared for me.

All day, Preston and I just laid in bed; cuddling while watching anime on Netflix. We weren't doing Netflix and Chill, but rather Netflix and Cuddle. It was really fun to just be around him all day.

Two weeks passed and the both of us were as happy as could be. I spent most of my days playing Minecraft with my new friends from PAX South and recording it; having as much fun as possible.

Hey get on Skype!! It's REALLY important! Come on, snap snap biznatch!

3:29pm [Text from: Lady Canada 👑🇨🇦]
Woah, woah. No need to get bitchy with me! I'll be right on.

"Sorry Preston, Graser is getting bitchy with me." I say, laughing quietly as I stand up from the couch.

"Aww. But babe!" He whines, looking up at me.

"No buts." I laugh, feeling my heart skip a beat when he called me babe. He pouts, making grabby hands at me.

"When I'm done, okay, love?" I say softly, smiling before I leave the living room to go to the room where Preston used to record in. I log on his computer and hop on Skype, tapping my fingers on the desk.

3:39pm [Text from: Lady Canada 👑🇨🇦]
Yo Graser, I'm waiting on you bud.

Suddenly, my Skype goes off and there's a call from Graser. I answer, surprised to see his face. I turn on video chat from my end and smile at him.

"What's up biznatch?!" He exclaims, laughing. I laugh quietly with him.

"So, what do you need me for?" I ask, putting my chin in my hand and leaning on the desk.

"You're about to find out!" He exclaims, smiling as suddenly more voices join in the call.

"Is it already time?" Brayden's voice crackles to life in my headset as his face pops up on the screen.

"Yup!" Graser exclaims. I purse my lips, extremely confused.

"Is it seriously?" Joe yawns, his face popping up as he rubs his eye.

"I didn't think you'd do it so soon..." Sean chimes in, biting his lip.

"Okay, what's going on?" I ask after a few minutes and the entire Cube plus some were in the call. For some reason, Kayla was here but I didn't question it. However...

There was only one person I didn't recognize. She was a strawberry blonde with forest green eyes and a fair complexion.

"Hi! You must be Lady. I've heard good things about you from Bee." She says, giving me a bright smile.

"Yeah. I'm Lady. It's a pleasure to meet you. What's your name?" I ask, giving a sheepish smile because I didn't know her name.

"Oh! I'm Meghan!" She exclaims, smiling even wider if that was possible.

"It's so nice to meet you, Meghan." I say, smiling shyly. She nods and someone clears their throat.

"We are gathered here for one reason." Graser starts. I furrow my eyebrows, having no clue what he's talking about.

"We are here to discuss the addition of new members to the Cube for season three of the SMP." Graser continues and I swore my heart legitimately started beating faster while climbing up my throat.

"You don't mean?" Isaac started, looking extremely surprised.

"Yes! We, the Cube, are formally inviting you five to join us for season three of the SMP!" Graser announces.

My heart skips a beat.

"Are you serious, Gras?" I ask, blinking rabidly.

"One hundred percent, m'lady!" Graser adds his little nickname in and I huff quietly. I honestly hated it but I didn't want to tell him that, so I just rolled with it.

"I can't believe this is happening." Meghan says slowly, as if she was also having trouble comprehending what Graser proposed.

"Me and you both, Meghan." I say, laughing quietly.

"What are your answers?" Graser asks and I swore I could hear everyone holding their breaths.

"Well, I say hell yeah!" Isaac yells and there are some whoops heard throughout the call.

"I second Isaac's decision!" Ant exclaims and everyone whoops again.

"I-I dunno guys." Meghan starts and I frown. "I'm honored, I really am." Meghan continues. "I think it would be amazing to join." She smiles and everyone, including me, whoops.

"What about you fine ladies?" Graser addresses Kayla and I.

"Sure, I think it'd be something amazing for me to do." Kayla says with a small shrug and there's even more whooping.

"Well?" Everyone turns their focus on me.

I could do this and make a name for myself and not be so heavily associated with my brother and his friends. I could be surrounded by my friends day in and day out while recording.

I take a shaky breath in.

"Okay, okay. I decided..." I trail off, hearing sharp intakes of breath throughout the mass Skype call.

"Yes. I'll join you."

Cue the explosions of air and cheering.

"Alright! The SMP will start recording on March 21st. Welcome to the family!" Graser exclaims and everyone starts cheering.

After a few more minutes to confirm everything, we all ended the Skype call and I smiled at the ceiling.

"I'm a part of a SMP group. How exciting is that! Nonetheless, with my friends." I sigh happily, thinking that maybe, just maybe finally I was getting my life together after four years of worry and stress and Brent.
