Just the Usual High School Love

Chapter 32

This chapter will mostly consist of waking up in all their views, how they are all feeling so it will kind of overlap just in different P.O.V.'s.

ANN'S P.O.V.

I wake up on the couch, the flashing light from the movie I was watching still going. I stretch making a strangled and slightly gross noise.

I instantly grab for my phone; one text from Krista. 

The smile slightly fades from my face, Chad didn't text me and it's already 11 o'clock.

Oh well, I think to myself.

Krista's text just says "How have you been?" I haven't talked to her in a while now that I think about it. I feel instantly guilty.

I text her back "A little better. You should come over after school, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever." and she instantly responds with "Can do :)"

Right as I am about to turn off my phone I get a text, thinking it's Krista but to my surprise it's not, it's Brendan.

I read the text "I hope you are feeling better, and I'm so sorry about yesterday I don't know what I was thinking. Please tell me we are okay? I will do anything Ann."

I look at the screen thinking about it for a while, letting the screen dim. I begin to type "We are okay.." but instatly erase it saying "Will you skip today?" instead. I send it before I can even think.

I wait, biting my nails and squirming on the couch, just waiting for his response to my risky text.

"Of course, I said anything didn't I?" He says. He then sends another text in a matter of secinds "I'll be over in 5"

I don't respond, I just run to the bathroom and fix myself up, splashing water on my face, brushing my teeth, changing into my less childish and ugly pajamas, combing my hair.

I then plop back down onto the couch right as there is a knock at the door. Wow when he says 5 minutes, he means 5 minutes.

I open the door to see him rocking  back on his heels and toes, his hands in his hoodie jacket, his hair that cute messy. He has this look on his face that shouts should I hug her, I really want to hug her but she probably hates me.

He looks just so distressed with himself i can't take it, I run to him basically and hug him, catching him completely off guard.

"Wait wait. It's Brendan, not Chad. We are not doing this again." he says and pushes me back by my shoulders just a little.

"I know it's you Brendan." I say and hug him again, this time recieving a hug back, I feel him move his head down to sort of snuggle into my neck. It's a comforting yet strange action because of how tall he is.

We release the hug and I walk back into the house more, he follows, closing the front door behind him.

We sit down on the couch, in a bit of an awkward silence. We face each other, his long legs on the floor and my body turned toward him, my legs criss-crossed on the couch, my knee just barely touching his leg.

Before I know it I punch him, hard in the arm. Well I thought it was hard but he just looks at me "And that was for?"

Making me feel like a small child by the look he is giving me, I put on a pouty look and say "For being such a butt" I nearly whisper and I see him smile and he lightly chuckles, making it hard for me not to smile.

"And why am I a butt?" he asks, getting closer to my face and then sticking his tongue out at me.

"Because!" I pouty shout "Because of yesterday. Because we kissed. Like please tell me that was at least a little weird for you too?" I slip out before I can stop myself. I give him a look of an apology but still pleading for the answer I want.

But honestly I'm not even sure what answer I want. I keep telling myself please lets have no feelings for each other, it would just make it weird. But after that kiss yesterday, the way it felt all I can keep telling myself is that I can't it back and I don't even know if I want to. 

Of course I want to what am I thinking, I am with Chad and I think I love Chad. I think I do.

BRENDAN'S P.O.V.

Of course I didn't feel anything. The kiss was completely meaningless to me.

No it wasn't, I loved that kiss. Something in me sparked when it happened and I don't know how to describe it I've never felt this way before.

"I...I didn't feel anything Ann. You have Chad and I am happy for you. Like I said I don't know what came over me." I finally say, trying to sound as casual as possible.

She looks from me off into the distance, obviously thinking a lot, she touches her forehead and I remember she has a concusion. "Stop thinking so hard little one you may hurt yourself." I joke, half to lighten the mood and half to make her stop. I lean up over her to make her look even smaller.

"Lets just watch some TV." I sugest and she already has the remote in her hands, changing it to Friends. Could have called that one.

We sit there, I silent, and just watching the show.

Well more like watching her, we have seen this episode probably ten times just when we are together, I can call out in my mind when she is about to laugh, she even quotes her favorite parts. These are the things I love, how I know more about her then anyone, probably more then she knows about herself.

Because I've been watching. As creepy as that sounds in my own head it is true. I've always had a good eye on her, making sure she was always okay and it sort of became a habit, just watching her. But best friends should know most everything about the other.

If we even are best friends anymore. She probably hates me. I'm honestly so surprised at how nice and calm she is being, she doesn't talk to me for like two weeks when I steal her pretzels but it hasn't even been a full day and she seems totally fine with it.

Probably because I said it meant nothing to me.

I feel my own eyes go down to my hands and I begin picking at the frayed rip in my old jeans.

I glance up at her, smiling, eyes glued on the screen. She is so beautiful in all of her simplicity.

If Chad ever, and I mean ever does something that hurts her, that breaks her. I promise it will be the end of their relationship and the end of him.

I know I shouldn't care so much but I need to protect her. Please, it's not like I actually have those kind of feelings for her.....

She doesn't want me to have feelings, so I won't. For her. 

Anything for my sweet sweet Ann.
