Chapter One

(Anna's P.O.V.)

I wish we lived in a world where things like "Love at first sight" actually existed. Where a guy would just look at you and know you were the one. Where his heart would just stop at the very sight of you and never again would he see anyone but you. That he would do anything and everything for you until he could just hold you in his arms... That's what I want... That is the kind of love that I want and wish existed.. and I mean outside of the stories and outside of the movies. A real love that you can grasp onto. A love that is so intense it leaves you gasping for air and breathless and leaves you shaken because you can't believe that someone could love you so much and you could love them back.

I'm not extraordinary. I'm not beautiful. I'm not thin. And best of all I'm shy. I'm just me, plain ol' Anna Davis. Straight B student. Except English. In English I'm free because I can say what I want without admitting it's what I want. I can live my stories.  I can be any character in any book. And I can do all that trough my writing. It's really the only way I can be free, and be the way I want and who I want and be WITH who I want... Because honestly, I'm too shy to tell the guy I love that I have even the slightest bit of feeling for him.

And why is that you may ask? It's because he is not only the LOVE of my life, but he also sadly... My best friend. Nash.

Do you remember that love I described to you? That one that makes your palms sweat and fills you stomach with so many butterflies you fear you make take off.. or at least throw up from the nerves. That is the way I feel about him. How I've always felt about him.

But those fairy tale loves don't exist. Not for me anyway. We "Normals" don't get these amazing love stories. Instead we get to watch out best friends and the love of our lives be in love with someone else. We get to have our hearts ripped out of our chests every time we set eyes on him. That is what we get. We get to be the invisible best friend that is there through everything, always by their side, always ready to help pick up the pieces when they fall apart. We get to be invisible to their heart... At least in the way we want so badly to be seen. We get to be invisible in the way that we live and breathe for them. This is what I am to Nash. His best friend and just his best friend. That's how he sees me.

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

"Hey, Anna!" he yelled. My cheeks instantly turning a light pink at the sound of his deep voice calling to me. My stomach fluttering as I turned to see him running toward me with a huge grin on his face. When I see him grinning at me a smile makes it was to my lips. "Hey, Anna Banana, where ya off to?" he said while rocking on his heals with his hand buried in his pockets. He is just so unbelievably adorable...

My eyes graze his body, taking in his dark jeans and his fitted grey tee shirt over his muscular chest. "Um.. home I suppose. Why?" I answer as we started to walk. I was trying not to get my hopes up that he'll ask me to do something with him. Even though he's my best friend I can't help but get nervous when I'm around him. I watch him he shakes his shaggy brown hair out of his emerald green eyes. His smile increasing by the second. "Well..." He begins, staring at me out of the corner of his eye. "Well?" I say raising my eyebrows, trying to egg him on and get to the point. "Well, I was wondering if you wanted to do something? Hang out maybe." he says... finally. "Okay? But one question..." I start, looking at him in confusion. Why is he talking to me like we're strangers all of a sudden? Usually he tells me were doing something. He never asks. "Shoot" he replies, looking ahead again, folding his hands behind his back. "Why are you suddenly asking me to hang out? You usually just say 'We're doing something.. Come with me.'" I say in a mock deep voice.

Narrowing my eyes at his hansom chiseled face he just laughs at me. While an amused smile makes it way onto his soft lips, and his eyes start to twinkle. It took everything in me not to take him and kiss him right there. I know he's up to something. I can tell by the way hes looking at me. He has something planned. Something big. i just don't know what it is... yet. But I will find out.

Maybe he's going to tell me he feels something too. My mood is instantly picked up, and my heart begins to race and my palms begin to sweat in anticipation. I hope, God I hope. This moment is my one wish. I want him to feel about me the way I feel about him. That he would love me as much as I love him. My whole body freezes when  look at him. Maybe he will say it. Maybe he will saw that words I've dreamt about so many times, and then we'll share the kiss I've imagined so many times. I hope.

But my mood drops again suddenly when I realize that would never happen that he would never feel the same way as I do. It's too good of a thought and I'm too normal of a girl and the invisible best friend. That will never be it no matter how much I hopped and wished and even though my body still shuttered at the thought of him wanting me as much as I want him. "What's up is... I have a surprise for you.." He says grinning at me with a mischievous look in his eye. I got so excited, I instantly stopped walking and grabbed onto his arm pulling him from his next step and instantly to a stop. "What is it?!" I screamed in excitement, bouncing up and down. Grinning with all of my teeth at him. Hoping he'll tell me. I love surprises and he knows that and he loves to torture me. He let out a loud laugh watching me, his eyes lit up in just as much excitement I was experiencing and the he said "Now Anna Banana, you know that it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you." he smirked. "And besides if I told you, then I'd have to kill you." he whispered in my ear. These simple words, words so ominous and perfectly like him at a moment like this sent shivers up and down my spine. 

I closed my eyes and relished in his sent as it engulfed me. I love how he smelled. It was like Axe body spray, fresh wind after a rain, and man. I inwardly shudder, trying to get the thoughts of how much I wanted him out of my mind. Tried to stop thinking about how he was close to me. So I did my best to forget his breath on my ear and neck and his hand that fit so perfectly on my waist. When I felt him begin to move away from me I quickly opened my eyes and released myself from my not so 'friend' like thoughts, and I gave him the best scowl I could muster at the moment  and wined. "Then why did you tell me you had a surprise for me if you're not even going to tell me what it is?!" I say crossing my arms over my chest and pouting. He  laughed at my puppy dog eyes and said "Because I like to see you squirm and get all excited." he laughed. I can't believe he actually had the nerve to laugh at me. "Oh and Anna, your puppy dog eyes don't work on me... Remember?" Oh I remembered, he always does this, gets me all excited and then bam, nope, not telling me. Oh boy was he gonna get it.

Seeing my scowl he continued "And don't worry you'll find out in a couple of weeks." My mouth dropped and I gaped at him "Weeks?!" I squeaked. "Yes weeks." he smiled. "Now can we do something? I'm hungry... Math takes a lot out of a person you know.."

"Fine" I huffed. He smiled. Ugh I hated it when he smiled, he could melt away every last bit of anger I had for him but just smiling at me and he knew it too. I had made the mistake of telling him this once, and now every time I'm mad or upset with him, he gives me the same charming smile. That smile that turns my insides to jelly and makes my knees weak. Corney? Yes. But it is true. The way he does some things... it just does something to my insides. Why do I have to be such a sucker for him? "Good, because I need a ride" he breathed out as he grabbed my waist with one hand and planted a kiss on my forehead and walked past me and made his way to my little 2003 red, KIA Rio.

But I still couldn't manage to fight my smile when he smirked at me over his shoulder while getting into the passenger seat. "This boy is going to be the death of me. And if he doesn't watch himself, I'm going to be the death of him too." I say to myself, as I start walking to my car with him already comfortably seated inside waiting for me.
