Moving On (Annie Leblanc)

Nine

It was Jayden. She sat across from me and grabbed my hands. I pulled away.
A: Um, leave.
I said sassily. All of my friends were watching from the ground.
Ja: Annie, please hear me out.
A: What are you gonna say, how it was totally reasonable for you to steal my boyfriend?
Ja: No, I'm trying to say how sorry I am. I know that what I did was not okay. At all. I never meant to hurt you, but now that I look back on it I realize how stupid I was. How could I not hurt you?
I looked around and saw most of my friends nodding and agreeing with her. How could they? I looked at Kenzie.
K: Now it's your turn Annie.
C: Yeah, come on, she's right.
A: What do you mean, she's right?
J: He's trying to say that Jayden isn't so bad.
Ha: Just give her another chance, Anns.
A: Are you for real? I've never been hurt this bad. Not even when Caleb died! I did nothing to deserve this and now you're all agreeing with her?!
K: Annie, you know that's not what we were going at. We just think that Jayden is a really good-
A: A really good liar? Agreed.
Ja: I'm right here…
Jayden whispered so only I could hear.
A: Okay, now everybody can leave. Bye!
I hated all of them right now. I hate EVERYONE right now. Even my mom. HOW COULD SHE INVITE HER?!
L: Annie, come on.
J: Yeah, Anns. Jayden is really sweet and pretty and…
Johnny and Jayden stare into each other's eyes. I saw and just got up and stormed out. I went to my room and locked the door. And the windows. Just in case. Tomorrow I had to go to set again. Great.
|| Johnny's POV ||
I felt bad about doing that to Annie. But Jayden was really great. I like her. A LOT. She is just so sweet and pretty and… wait, did I already say that. Oh… anyway, after Annie stormed to her room, I went to her window and started throwing pebbles. Everyone else was there talking to Jayden. I may like Jayden but, I still care about Annie. A lot. A LOT, A LOT. Man, I need to get my feelings together. Annie opened the window.
A: Please go away Johnny.
J: Move over I'm coming in and there's nothing you can do about it.
Annie moved over as I climbed into the window. I saw that she was crying.
J: Listen Annie, you're amazing. You didn't deserve anything that they did to you. But remember that vlog when Caleb told you something really sweet…
A: What did he say?
J: “Sometimes you just need to forget all the bad that people have done to you, and remember all the good.”
A/N: I made this up it wasn't in a vlog.
Annie layed down on her bed. I layed next to her.
A/N: Get your dirty minds out of here.
A: He's right. You're right. I should just forgive her.
J: But I understand that it isn't that easy all the time. But, you forgave Hayden, didn't you?
She nodded. She put her head on my shoulder. I got goosebumps all of a sudden. My heart was beating twelve times a second. I grabbed her hand. I was really nervous that she wouldn't like it or something but she interlocked our fingers and I think I felt something really special. You know that line from the Grinch about how his heart tripled in size? Mine just quadrupled in size. And I know that if I ever live without Annie again, it will go back to the way it was before we met.
A: Thanks, Orlando.
J: You're welcome Leblanc.
And I put my head on her head that was on my shoulder. Her mom came in and let us know that all the guests had left. I looked over at Annie and her eyes were closed. Was she asleep? I tried to slip out of her grip to go home but she grabbed hold of my stomach and pulled me back. I guess I was sleeping over. I kissed her forehead before mumbling something to her.
J: Goodnight, princess
|| Annie's POV ||
Aw did he call me princess? That's really cute. Aw I like him so much that it's unbelievable. I removed my head from his shoulder and looked at him. Our faces were inches apart.
A: Goodnight, Orlando.
He started to lean in and I did to… then I remembered Jayden. I turned my head and he look startled and surprised.
J: Annie?
I sat up, grabbed his sweatshirt that he had left in here, and handed it to him. He sat up as well.
A: You can leave now.
J: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. Did I do something wrong?
I just stood up so that he could get out of the bed. I pointed to the door. He needs to stop leading me on! I was mad at this point and he stood up.
J: Annie, what did I do?
A: I know your heart belongs to someone else.
And with that my voice cracked and I felt a single tear stumble down my cheek. And in that teardrop held my heart. Johnny reached out and swooped up the teardrop. Just as he did with my heart.
J: Annie, I can't control my feelings…
A: I can't either, unfortunately.
I fell back onto the bed while sighing. Johnny sat beside me.
A: That doesn't mean you can stay. Stop leading me on and please move on to the next girl's heart you want to break.
|| Johnny's POV ||
Those words cut me. Was I really like that?
J: I-i…
A tear fell down my cheek. The single raindrop before a hurricane.
J: I'm sorry…
Annie looked up at me with shock. Then her face turned into less of shock and more of “you're such a good guy, omg” which definitely shocked me. I started to walk away and then I felt a hand on my shoulder.
J: What? What now, are you gonna tell me how rude I am for leav-
Then I was shocked with a pleasant surprise. Was it pleasant? I still can't decide. It was definitely pleasant in the moment. More than pleasant…
