When opposites attract

chapter six

H: looks at her* I just didn't want you to get hurt, it's not that big of a deal.

A: well to me it is. I won't forget that.

H: laughs*

A: what's so funny?

H: you still have a tiny spec of blood on your lip.

A: and that's funny how.

H: idk. *wipes it with his thumb*

A: holds in her laughter*

H: annie,

A: yea?

H: did you maybe wanna be friends?

A: upset*

H: what's the matter?

A: I kinda thought all this time that we were friends..

H: well I thought so, but we're always mean to each other so I didn't wanna assume things.

A: smiles* so we've been friends for four years and didn't know it.

H: I guess so.

Ca: talks through the door* hayden, if you want you can pause the game. I'll.. Give you guys some time to hang out.

H+A: look at each other*

H: uh yea, sounds good.

Ca: I'll be in my room. *leaves*

(A) i looked at hayden and he kinda looked bummed.

A: are you okay.. I just realized how hard it must be to have your girlfriend dump you and then knowing she was raped.

H: I'm not exactly thrilled with it. I really liked her. We were so much alike, she even has three brothers.

A: well I'm sorry, it must suck.

H: it does, I miss her alot already. But it wouldn't be the same since now she's.. pregnant, with someone else's child.

A: she may not keep it.

H: something tells me she will.

A: you're really upset about this aren't you?

H: annie, i loved her. But you probably don't wanna hear about all this since your relationship isn't going to well either.

A: scoffs* what relationship?

H: laughs* I feel ya.

A: rolls her eyes* whatever.

H: so did you love johnny?

A: to be honest, I did at first. but that died.

H: are you okay about all this?

A: I just wish I never met him.
My life would be a whole lot easier.

H: well there's plenty of rocks in the cave.

A: yea can I be hit with one of them.

H: nudges her* oh shut up, you've been hit enough today.

A: I know you hate talking about relationships so we should change the subject.

H: well no, you're going through alot and you should talk it out. so you're stuck with me.

A: I can leave anytime I want to ya know

H: oh yea, try me.

A: tries to leave*

H: pulls her back onto the bed*

A: laughs* squirms*

H: nice try though.

A: stops trying* not fair, you're strong though, im this fragile piece of glass.

H: your not fragile. In my opinion, it took alot of guts to stand up to johnny.

A: that's only because I didn't want you to get hurt.

(Ca) I'm kinda glad that hayden and my sis are starting to get along. anyways, since he had our game system in his room i was stuck with just tv which I was fine with. Those two just need time to talk things out.

H: don't worry about me.

A: that's kinda hard. Suddenly I'm having these instincts to keep you away from harm.

H: it's called emotion. you should try it sometime.

A: hits him*

H: ow!

A: I'm so sorry!-

H: haha gotchya.

A: laughs* jerk.

H: looks down* laughs*

A: smiles* what?

H: you care about me.

A: a tiny bit. But I will hit you if you tell anyone.

H: fine whatever. But Leblanc cares about me.

A: rolls her eyes* keep that mouth shut if I were you.

H: probably not.

A: are you sure all the hot water you used didn't flow up to your brain.

H: it's possible.

A: bursts out laughing*
ow laughing hurts my stomach.

(H) annie and i were just talking and laughing for the longest time, it was actually so much fun. I didn't know she had such a great personality. She was funny, silly and she didn't ever care how she looked.

A: at least my brain is in use.
H: laughs* at least I think before I speak.
A: how can you think if you don't have a brain! *laughs*
H: at least I can walk without bumping into something.
A: laughs* oh yea! Well at least I can flirt without making whistle noises and staring at people.
H: at least I can cook ramen!
A: one microwave catches fire and it's held against you for the rest of your life!
H: how did you screw that up!
A: I accidentally hit thirty minutes instead of three!
H: laughs* smiles at her*
A: smiles* this is fun..
H: yea,
A: well, I'm sure carson is bored out of his mind so i should go.
H: I dare you and caron to play a round of fortnite.
A: um. I don't know how to play.
H: I'll show you real quick.

(H) carson came back in and sat in the chair next to the bed as annie sat on my bed. I set the game back up.

Ca: oh this is going to be a piece of cake! Your going down sis!
A: we'll see about that!
H: laughs*

(A) hayden shows me the controls as carson and I start playing. I suck already.

A: ooh that doesn't seem good.
Ca: laughs at her*
A: hey!!
H: here,

(A) hayden sat behind me as his arms looped around grabbing the controller. I go to move my hands away.

H: wait, stay.

(H) I place my hands onto hers guiding her fingers over the buttons as I lean my head over her shoulder to see the tv screen.

H: okay now hit the b button to fire.
A: woah..

(A) i was starting to play way better. I lost the first round then won the second round.

Ca: congrats annie!
H: see I told you that you could do it!
A: yes!
H: next round!
A: ugh okay.

(H) my hands went to the same position as I guided her. her hair was in my face as I moved it off to the side.
C: walks in* i have take out!

A: but I was about to take the dub!
H+Ca: burst out laughing*
C: okay which idiot made her play.
H: I dared her to. And she isn't that bad.
