Cutting Away The Pain

Chapter 7

A/N Picture of Uncle Henry

The Next Morning

"Morning buddy,why you still alseep its time to get up its a school day remmember!" i opened my eyes to see Alex standing at the foot of my bed. "If you don't get up we are going to be late and its only Tuesday,the second day of school....." i groaned and mumbled into my pillow "I have to clean the house before Henry gets home." "Jake, your uncle wont be home till Thursday his buisness trips are three days long and he always comes back on the fourth day." oh yeah i cant believe i forgot.

I got up and went to take a shower.When i got out i decided it was a bit chilly outside so i put on my black skinny jeans an Asking Alexandria shirt and some black converse.I walked down the stairs only to come to the smell of some really good pancakes.I followed the smell into the kitchen were i saw Alex sitting at the counter drinking orange juice and my eyes flowed over to see Annabell at the stove.

I suddenly remembered what had happened last night. When she came into my room and we kissed.I couldnt believe it. Yet in that moment it felt right,now looking at her it felt uncomfortable knowing that i had kissed my cousin. Well she kissed me but that didnt change the fact that we had kissed. Its moments like this i wish my parents were still herre my mom always knew the right things to say. she would help me understand what i was feeling and help me get through it.

"Jake? Jake? Earth to Jake? Are you in there? Jake oh my gawd the house in on fire!!!!" i heard Alex screaming at me and he was suddenly waving his hand infront of my face. He had brought me back to reality and away from my thoughts, i decided i would lock away those feelings for Annabell because i knew it wrong even if i was falling for her at the end of the day she was still my cousin and i knew uncle Henry would have a fit and kick me out wich i might admit that it might not be such a bad thing at the moment.

Wait did Alex say the house was on fire? "WHAT?!?!?!?!?! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE?!?!?!?!?" i heard snickering and i looked up and saw Alex and Annabell in a fit of laughter."Noo retard the house isnt on fire i was just trying to get you out of your day dreaming" and then he burst out laughing again. "That was fucked up Alex" now i started to laugh thinking how my face must have been when Alex's words had gotten through to me i must admit i did turn a bit red though i had to get my mind off of Annabell at least for another year until i can be out of here and i won't be so tempted.

I sat back in my chair and stared at the pancakes infront of me. I slowly started to eat them, feeling Annabell's eyes on me though i was afraid to look up at her. Now thinking back what did happen last night?.Last thing i reemember was being in my room thinking and next thing i knew Annabell was in my room laying right next to me then she kissed me but what happened after that? I couldnt remember and i was afraid to ask.

I looked at the clock 6:30 "Shit we are going to be soo late Alex we have to go now". I looked at Alex who had an amused glare on his face as if her knew what i had been thinking about befor ebut then again how couldnt he , he was my bestfriend. "Okay Jake, well i guess ill see you later Annabell and tell Deliliah i want to talk to her." and with that i saw Annabell nod and we walked out of the house.

"Dude, what the hell was that all about you hardly looked at Annabell what happened?" Alex asked me as i set my board down and started rolling down the street. "Last night after we talked i went back to my room and she came in and we kissed but i dont remember if we did anything more and that scares the shit out of me i was afraid to ask her what happened so i didnt look at her" i wasnt ashamed because since last night i knew Alex had my back on this.

"Jake,what are you going to do about your uncle Henry? What are you going to do when he gets back if you and Annabell get more serious?" Oh god i didnt eveen want to think about because i didnt know the answer to that and im not too sure if i wanted to know it or not.
