joeys pov
i wake up to sam shouting;
"tayler what the hell are we going to do? she's gone."
who is gone.
i jump out of bed and leave my room, "who is gone?"
"it's all your fucking fault joey," sam says and pushes me back.
"woah chill. who is gone?" i ask.
"who the hell do you think?" tayler asks.
anna.
"anna?" i ask.
"yes. and it's all your fault. all you would do is treat her like shit," sam shouts at me.
"sam knock it off," tayler says.
"no. it's his fault. he's so self centered. he doesn't care for anyone except himself. he doesn't care who he hurts. you know what joey, have fun finding her, on your OWN, because i'm not helping you and neither is tayler nor bryce," sam says and walks away.
"tayler you'll help me right?" i ask him.
"i'm sorry joey, sam is right. you were really hurtful towards her," tayler says and walks away.
"bryce?" i ask.
"sorry dude, i've got chicks to attend to," he says and also walks away.
damnit.
what did i do.
i run to her room. everything is still there. even her phone. fuck.
where the hell is she?
anna's pov
man it feels so good to finally be out of that house. i was never allowed to leave.
i walked around town and looked inside all the stores. at least most of them.
"anna," someone called behind me.
i turned around and saw joey. no not him. no.
i kept walking. i heard feet running so i started to run.
"anna!" he shouted.
"leave me alone," i say.
he catches up to me and grabs my arm, "please anna," he says.
i stop walking and look at him, "what."
"it's not safe for you out here all alone," he says.
"how'd you know where to find me?"
"you would always come here when you ran from home," he says.
"so," i say, "that house is not my home."
"anna. yes it is."
"it's not joey. you are always so mean to me. i don't understand what i did wrong!"
he looks at me and tilts his head, "what so you mean? you didn't do anything wrong," he says.
"then why don't you ever let me leave the house and why can't i talk to anyone in the fucking house?"
"i just can't lose you," he mumbles.
"you what?" i ask.
"nothing. lets get back home," he says.
"no. tell me what you said," i say.
"i said because you could get hurt."
i look at him, that's definitely not what he said.
"fine. lets go," i say and start walking back.
he still has my arm and walks besides me.
we walk back to the house and he lets go of my arm. i open the door and see sam sitting on the couch.
"sam?" i say.
both him and tayler jump up from the couch.
"anna!" sam yells and runs to me. he hugs me and tayler runs after and hugs me.
"you found her?" tayler asks.
"yeah. it wasn't that hard," he says.
"bullshit," sam says to him.
i laugh and they let go from the hug, "dont so that again," sam says.
"seriously anna, dont," tayler says.
"well then let me leave the house more and i won't."
they nod, "we will we will."
"good. i'm starving what's for diner?" i ask and they all laugh.
*time skip*
we eat diner and sam and joey head to bed. i haven't seen bryce all day, "hey tayler?"
"what's up sugar?" he asks.
"where's bryce?" i ask.
"he's moved out," he tells me.
"why?" i ask.
"he found a girl and he moved in with her and he seemed pretty happy with her. her name is emma."
"oh sweet." i say.
he nods, "don't stay up too late now," he says.
"i make no promises," i say and he laughs.
i turn on the tv and watch a scary movie. i hate scary movies but it's the only good thing that's on.
i finish the scary movie and run to my room. that movie fucking scared me. the husband was the serial killer the whole time and the wife didn't even see it coming. he killed the whole family. i'm so scared.
i try to sleep in my room but all the creeks scare me. i run out of my room and go to joeys room. i dont care that he's asleep i close his door and jump onto his bed.
"what do you want woman?" he asks, sleepily.
"i'm scared," i say.
he sits up, "why?" he asks.
"i watched a scary movie and i'm really scared joey," i tell him and he chuckles.
"it's not even funny joey. stop laughing."
"oh so you mean this," he says and grabs my arms and pulls me on top of him, "is scary."
i screams and he laughs, "you're so mean," i say and hit his chest.
he continues to laugh, "what do you mean, that's hilarious," he says.
"it is not," i say and put my chin in his chest and look at him.
he wraps his arms around my back and closes his eyes.
"no wake up," i say and hit him.
"i'm sleepy," he says and puts the covers on me.
"but i'm on you," i say.
"i don't care, just go to sleep," he says and pulls the covers up to my neck.
i wrap my arms around his torso and lay my head on his chest. he wraps his arms around me and closes his eyes.
this boy keeps fucking around with my feelings and i hate him for it.
he draws circles on my back and i end up falling asleep.
he's a keeper for sure.
