Ch no. 8: Breakup

~Anna POV~

I blushed as I began to brush my teeth. I can't believe I married him in my dream. That's so weird!

With each passing day, I was getting more and more lost. Lost in my thoughts. Thoughts about Lewis and I. But my thoughts gave me hope and I knew that these hopes were false.

I looked at my reflection, muttering, "Me and Lewis? It is impossible?"

I was getting more and more insecure. It was making everything more difficult. I couldn't bear anymore hurting. I wanted to know how affection felt. How two people adore each other? But in my case there is no affection or adoration. I only know how it felt to be hated and hurt. Lewis was making me confused. I was standing in front of bathroom mirror for about five minutes. I rushed back in my room and pushed myself to get ready for another dreaded day of school.

''Mom, I'm going!'' I shouted as I opened the door.

"Okay, have fun!" Mom yelled back.

I walked out of the house and shut the door behind me. I knew that I was going to join slimmer club, but I was still trying my best not to eat more. So, usually I skipped breakfast.

''Hey, Anna!'' Emily said happily as she hugged me.

She was waiting for me. Our routine was back on track. She either picked me up or came over and I drove to school. I was happy because my best friend was with me.

''Hi Emily,'' I answered as I hugged her back.

''Where were you yesterday?" she asked.

Her honey colored eyes were in shock, and I could sense care in her tone, but I couldn't tell her what happened yesterday.

''I was just wandering around,'' I fidgeted with my fingers.

The kiss revolved around my mind and then came Lewis beautiful smile.

Ah! Stop Anna

''I was going to come find you but...'' Her voice trailed off as she looked at the ground.

''It's okay, I understand," I said as I got into my mom's car.

I put the keys into the ignition and turned the car on. I was aware of her situation. I knew why she could not come to me. Only because of Austin. He always tried his best to make her stay away from me. Due to this Emily was putting distance between us. The involvement of Selena and Austin in our life was keeping us apart.

I sped off towards the school to ignore the bubble of thought brewing in my brain. We drove in silence and I didn't turn on the radio.Within a few minutes we were outside the school. She unlocked her door and rushed inside without saying anything.

Maybe she needed to do something important.

My inner voice trailed. I was hoping for the best. I was thinking with a positive attitude. Because who wanted to lose a friend? My one and only friend.

~Emily's P.O.V.~

I didn't want to be in her life too much. That would never get me to what I wanted. I wanted to make sure that she was not important in my life. I really didn't want a girl as my friend who is ugly and... fat.
