Anna (Go With Him)

Chapter 17 "Tempting proposal"

Anna's P.O.V.

"You should have seen them. They're soooo in love" I said sarcastically. "Bullshit"

I don't know how I managed to put up with seeing Laura and John as a couple all day. It was frustrating. Yes, I am jealous, so don't fuck with me. Just like yesterday, I needed to vent to my best friend about my unstable emotions. Again, she already knew I was coming to her house; she had tea ready for two.

"You were the one who made them go out together in the first place. You said she's your new friend; it's too late. You can't steal him right? You don't betray a friend like that" Abby's wiser ever since she got pregnant.

"You did that to Shannon!"

"I did not consider her a close friend" She Laughed, and almost choke on her tea.

"Anyway. You're right. There's nothing I can do. Besides I've been loving the same guy for years even though he isn't around anymore"

"Excuse me? You don't love him anymore"

I thought she was joking.

"Of course I do. Julian's the love of my life" Maybe she was right. My words don't make sense anymore.

"You just said you like John. Who are you, Mrs. multiple-lovers?"

I was starting to think I was already beyond confused.

"So...I just get over this...crush?"

"Yes. Sadly"

"It sucks" I frowned even though I have experienced that before.

"I know"

I've been so selfish with my own problems, that I had forgotten she's going through a hard situation too. She has to forget the father of her child-which is also a child- exists.

"Are you going to do the same about Paul?"

"I have to. He doesn't care about us. He hasn't come see me since the day you confronted him"

"I must remind you I never approved that relationship. Since the beginning. Now you know why"

"I'm sorry I was seeing Paul behind your back. It's just I was afraid you'd be mad"

"I get mad 90% of the time. It doesn't matter now. The only thing I'm worried about now is that John mentioned Paul's dad isn't going to act like this never happened. John said he's very strict and could make him marry you."

"Marry him? We're underage!"

"Well, not so legally I guess but, you get my point"

"I don't want to move in with him! He has a girlfriend"

"As if you ever cared, miss. Don't worry, you won't"

"I hope so..." She's changed. I thought her early pregnancy changed her, but I think it's her mistake with Paul what has changed her.

I went home feeling better that afternoon. Being a teenage is supposed to suck anyway. I feel better now that I've confessed to Abby my attraction for John. I know it's going to be okay. I just wish I wouldn't have to see him every day.

I couldn't sleep that night. Again. It looks like I'm going to suffer from sleep deprivation for a lifetime. I awoke thirty minutes before my day was supposed to start which means I was running late for school. I left the house in a rush; I forgot to put on my sweater, so this time I was showing off my shoulders which was good because I was getting sweaty from all the running to the bus stop. Otherwise I would have hated to do so
