Anna (Go With Him)

Chapter 27 "Double accident"

Anna's P.O.V.

I'd lie if I say I don't miss him, but at least I'm not afraid anymore. I could say I have dealt with the break up properly. I swore to myself I wouldn't cry over him anymore. If I really love him, I should want the best for him even if his happiness isn't me. I must understand he doesn't deserve me.

Julian and I can finally hang out without hiding. We're friends now, but that doesn't stop him from behaving like he was my boyfriend again. He's sweet, he's kind, and he is always there for me. Julian is the living proof of a pure lasting love. I adore Julian, but not in the same way I used to. I've known him for too long, and he means a lot to me. Compared to John, Julian didn't hurt me in the past. John's the most bitter thing that has ever happened to me, but still, I loved him more than anything. I could sell my soul to Satan in exchange for a kiss from him right now. I wish I could just fall in love with Julian again...so, why not? It could be my next challenge now. Maybe I could start over with Julian.

He comes over to my house every afternoon to help me with my homework, and to simply be my company.

"I can't let you go out tonight if we don't finish this essay about Picasso" Said Julian

"It's due next Wednesday. I still have plenty of time!"

"How about we make a deal? If you finish it today, we can go get some pizza tomorrow.

"I love pizza!"

"I love it when you smile like that"

"I wasn't smiling" I blushed.

"Yes, you were" He started tickling me.

"Stop it! I'll do the essay" I laughed.

"Good"

"Where are we going tonight by the way?"

Julian and I hang out with Abby every night. Abby says dancing is the best therapy for a broken heart.

"Abby said she wouldn't be able to come with us tonight; apparently Annabelle caught a cold, so she's staying home to take care of her"

"Oh my poor baby. Then I guess that'll be just you and me"

"Yup, we're going to the Cavern"

"The Cavern? They opened a few years ago, or so I've heard. Is it good?"

"It's great! You'll love it"

Julian and I used to go to a lot of parties when we just met. He knows better than anyone that I was a party girl like Abby. We'd spend lots of afternoons dancing to all Elvis' records in his house. It all changed the day he left.

"Awesome. Can't wait"

"Will you dance with me this time?"

"Of course, silly!"

"I've been wanting to do that for so long... and I thought maybe you'd feel pressured"

He was taking it slow; I really appreciated it.

"Well. It's about time we remember the old times" I smiled.

"Of course! Um. Speaking of that, I was wondering, since it's going to be just you and me tonight. Could I take you as my date?" He asked with his shaking hands running through his curly hair.

I was thinking it might be too soon to go on a date with Julian, but if I'm considering it already, I think it's a big step for someone who is so attached to John.

"Okay"

"REALLY? OH MY GOD THANK YOU!" He was like an excited kid. He started jumping on my bed

"Stop that!" I said laughing hysterically.
