Chapter Fourteen: Disturbing Memories

"Are you enjoying the food?"

"Yes, sir!" i replied happily. I had to remember my manners or mother would be upset. She was always worrying what the neighbors thought.

"Anything new in your your life, sweetheart?"

"Well....."I started my sentence hesitantly.Mr R was really nice but sometimes i get this feeling... the creeps as my friend Micaela would say.

"Continuedear," he said it with what should've been a warm smile. But it suddenly felt sinister.

"Well, some of my friends were laughing at me because i haven't been kissed yet," I was slightly blushing as i said this. I mean CM ON! I was about to go into seventh grade in a couple months and still no first kiss? "So my friend Rich told me when we hang out tomorrow he will be my first kiss." I ended the statement in one breath.

We sat in silence for a minute. As he sat there studying my face, i felt the Humid early June air rush into the Frosty Freeze as we sat there a moment longer.

************************************************************************************************************

Returning from the past i edged my Dodge Ram a little faster over the speed limit. I tried to imagine the faster i speed the more distance it will put between me and the horrible existance that was my past. I can still taste the fear and the doubt, and the regret. Pushing the speed even farther i try to focus on happy thought. Well , as happy as i can in this situation.

Think Annie think. What would Jane say? And with that i smiled. Let's see if there is any hobos.Random i know but that's the only car game i enjoy, Me and Sarah made it up and Jane would always laugh at us.

Suddenly the wieght over my heart wasn't as heavy. It was still there but it was relived a little.

I can vaguely hear the Radio over my thought.

Waiting for the end to come

wishing i had strength to stand

this not i what i had planned

its out ofmy control

I grimaced. This song was the song i always had on repeat when i came back. But evidently i was singing along.

I was so consumed with thought i had almost forgotten Jack was in the car. Like i said, ALMOST.

'Sooooomeone is having fuuun!" Jack grinned at me, "Linking Park. I approve."

Jack was serously getting on my nerves, i mean Serously?! I'm trying to get us to the damned place and he won't shuttup. Breathe. I have a nasty temper like my dad and i gotta feeling jack would pout if i lashed at him.

"I'm only singing because i'm nervous, please let's not talk." I asked him. "I'm really hopeing i'm right about this."

"Well you have a pretty bioce," Jack said with an amused smile, "Where we going anyways?"

"Somewhere i haven't been in years, and never wanted to go back."

JACK

I watched her as she sung. The noon sun glinted off the hood of the car. The car was obvously an older verson but you could tell it was well taken care of, even if Annabelle was pushing the limits.

I stole another glance at her, her shiny brown hair was down and out, everwhere. It was funny, every five minutes she would push it away for it to return where it started. I noticed how her browns eyes flicked from the side of the road to the road, as if she was searching for something. She wasn't beautiful, but she was in a way pretty, i guess. I mean, she could look worse.

My thoughts where inturupted when we pulled up to the Old ice cream shop. The building looked un kept, but it was still open.

The paint was peeling and the roof needed  to be re shingled. The once bright blue paint was now a pale blue sulfur type color. The lights where half out in the sign but it was apperantly called "Frosty Freeze". Annabelle parked the car and i looked over at her. She seemed to have aged years in since seeing this place.

Before she woke up i talked to the other girls. She was  useually bubbly but as she looked at me i felt guilty. Her sad brown eyes looked ancient as she got out. This should be fun.

JANE

I laid on the floor. It felt like ages since I was with Annie in her Attic. I heard that monster of a "Man" laughing.

"She'll join us agian. Both of them this time. She won't be able to get away. And we will be happy." I heard him mumble to himself. I suddenly felt remorseful. How could this be happening?

Annie. Poor Annie. This monster took away her, well, her. He tried to break her down, make her his. And now... i felt bad. Not just for my best friend but for the secrets she didn't tell me.

I missed my girls too. I missed sarah, nicki and renee. But if i got to see them again. I don't think we would ever see Annie.

*A/N* I'm so sorry guys or whoever is reading this story. Everything has been hectic latley and i know it's no escuse. I'll try to post another chapter tonight or tomorrow.
