Broken *UNDERGOING EDITING*

Find Joy in Little Things

I walked into my best friend's room to find clothes thrown all over the floor.

"Anna? Come out from underneath the clothes." I joked

"Here I am, doll!" she cheerfully popped her head up from behind a stack of pants.

"What's with the mess?" I questioned her as I went over to give her a hug

"I'm donating all these clothes. I don't need them so why not give them to people who do?" she grinned

"Um, who are you and what have you done with my best friend?"

She laughed, "I'm still Anna!"

How she was being so cheerful when she only had a few months to live was beyond me.

As if reading my thoughts, Anna spoke, "You have to find joy in the little things. That's why I'm happy. Why waste the remaining days stressing out? I can't change anything so why bother trying to?"

I pretended to wipe a tear from my eye, "So wise. So beautiful. Ahh they grow up so fast!"

"Shut up." she playfully shoved me

I laughed and pushed a strand of wavy blonde hair behind my ear, "You need help?"

"I would love some, my slave." Anna grinned, "You can start by sorting through by color. I want them all color coded."

I rolled my eyes. Typical Anna.

I walked over to a stack of winter clothes and started sorting through.

"So...Austin left." I commented as I fingered with a shiny button on a coat.

"Got some goodbye action?" Anna winked and wiggled her eyebrows

I scoffed, "Yeah, no."

"Then what happened?"

I stopped fiddling with the coat and set it in my lap, "He asked me out again and I said no. And he got mad and left in the middle of the night."

"The both of you are so damn dumb!" Anna threw her hands in the air.

"I can't date him yet!" I cried

"Do you like him?" Anna asked

"Yeah I like him a lot."

"Why can't you date him then?"

I sighed, "I just...I just can't."

Anna groaned, "You're so frustrating."

Anna is definitely Team Austin and Alexa's number one fan behind maybe Valerie.

We sorted clothes in silence for the remaining time. It was nice just to enjoy Anna's company.

Suddenly, my phone rang.

"Hello?" I spoke into the phone

"Is this Alexa Foster?" the voice spoke

"Yes and who is this?"

"David Benning from Xrossroads Records."

I motioned to Anna that I would be right back and walked into the hallway.

"Oh hi!" I said and immediately facepalmed myself. That sounded so stupid.

"Hello," he chuckled, "I was wondering if you could come out to Nashville to record a single? I heard that you wrote one a while back and I'd love to get it out there."

Single? What single? I panicked.

Oh wait the one from when Hunter and I broke up. Yeah that's the one.
