Brannie: A Tragic Story

Chapter 2

Annie's P.O.V
We finally release and I feel something hot land on my hand. I look up and there is nothing. I ask mom what this is.

"Oh Annie! Your crying!" She says to me bringing me into a tight hug.

Wow this is weird I never cry about silly stuff like this. I think to myself.

"Okay kids. We'll have cake then we have to leave." Miss Jill tells her kids. They're happy faces turn to faces of sadness. Then the idea pops into my head.

"Why don't you guys sleep over tonight?" I ask everyone, Hayley and Caleb seem to like the idea too.

"I don't see why not!" Mom exclaims.

We all shout yay and while the cake is getting ready to be served we run down to the basement to set up the sleeping arrangements. This is how it's going to go:
Hayley Katie Me Brennan Caleb Ryan

After the delicious red velvet cake with homemade cheese cake frosting, we all say goodbye and go downstairs for the night.

"We can do everything together since we will be neighbors!" Hayley says to Katie and I.

"Oh yeah! We can swim! Go to gym together! We can do school together!"
Katie yells happily in my face. We all jump up and down squealing.

"Woah, woah, woah." Brennan says to us. Him, Caleb and Ryan walk down the stairs with their hands covering their ears.

Uh, what babies. Jeez can't girls have their fun? Whatever. I thought to myself.

"Hey! Why don't we all get comfy, make some snacks and watch some movies?" Ryan suggests, after a few moments of silence. We all agree. Ryan is always there to lighten up the mood.

We decided to watch my favorite movie, Miracles from Heaven. I cried. A lot. I always cry at the part when they are in the church and everyone is sticking up for them. It gives me the chills just thinking about it. I hope my friends and family will stick up for me like that, if I ever need them to. I love to always have someone to guide me through things, like a dog would.

Since it was getting late we decided we would watch one more movie. I could tell it was getting late because when one person yawned everyone else would yawn then it would keep going back and forth until something caught all of our attention.

The last movie we watched was The Shallows. I heard it was kinda scary so I was nervous to watch it. Whenever the creepy music came on, I could feel my heart beating faster and my stomach would get all tense like when you are riding a roller coaster.

At one of the really scary parts, I jumped into Brennan's arms and buried my head in his chest. He comforted me and made me feel safe. I knew he could be someone I could count on my whole life.
