It Will Always Be You

Chapter 003

(Ag's POV)

Mia and I went to bed the first night being completely exhausted from driving all day. We were sleeping in Anna's basement on a pullout couch while Anna slept up in her room. It wasn't weird for Mia and I to sleeping in the same bed considering we are best friends and honestly cuddle pretty frequently, sometimes you just gotta cuddle the homies. I couldn't stop thinking about the hug I had with Anna earlier, I know it sounds stupid but it was more than a friendship hug. There was something special about it, but I can't figure it out. I mean why would Anna even want me. Have you looked at her? She could literally get any person she wants without even trying, she is the type of person you see on the street and can't stop thinking about for the rest of the day. Between her smile that could light up a room, her blue eyes that I could look into forever, her laugh that can instantly brighten your day, her caring heart and everything in-between. I mean look at me, I have super bad trust issues from all my past relationships, I am so insecure even thought people might not see it, not to mention my constant mood swings. Why would anyone want to deal with that.

"Could you stop thinking so loud, I am trying to sleep over here." Mia said as she rolled over on her back, "You know if you like her you should just say so, I saw you guys hugging earlier. She didn't hug me the way she hugged you earlier." "I just don't know, I don't want to ruin our friendship. I can't imagine my life without her, even if it just as a friend" I respond with trying to justify the way I feel. "Listen dude you know you are my best friend and so is Anna, but you two are driving me crazy with your feelings. You guys need to figure out what is going on so I don't need to feel this tension all week long. The worst that could happen is she says she doesn't feel the same way. And plus does she really seem like the type to ruin a friendship over a little crush?" Mia explained to me. She had a good point, Anna is such a perfect person in every aspect of life she just wouldn't do that to me. But then I have that little voice in the back of my head telling me what if she does do that and you lose her. "I need to go get some air" I said as I get out of the bed and head outside to Anna's backyard. I am sitting on the back porch when I hear the door open a little bit.

(Anna's POV)

I can't sleep again. I just can't stop thinking about whatever is going on between me and Ag. I just wish I had a straight answer so I could stop thinking about it. The only person I have really talked to about my confused feelings is Emmi so I decide to give her a call to see if she is awake and get her advice. "Oh thank god you are awake" I said to my friend over the phone. "Let me take a guess on why you are calling me, Ag." "Okay how did you know?" I asked. "Well I am your best friend and I saw your posts, so therefore I came to that conclusion. So when are you going to tell her how you feel?" Emmi asked. "Excuse me?" I asked. "It is pretty obvious that you have feelings for her. You can try and hide it from everyone else, but you can't hide it from me. Listen I don't care if you like boys, girls, both, neither it is your life and all I want and everyone else around you wants is for you to be happy. And if Ag is the one that does that for you then I say go for you." Emmi explained.  "How do you always know what to say when I need you to say it?" I asked. "Because what are best friends for? Now go get her before it is to late." Emmi said before she hung up.

She was right I needed to talk to Ag, but that can wait until the moment is right. I can't just sit in my room anymore and let my thoughts eat me alive. I needed to go get some fresh air before my thoughts make me go crazy. I get up and head down the stairs, rehearsing in my head what I am going to say to Ag when the time feels right. I need to tell you something, I have had feelings for you since I first met you and maybe even before that. I get that you might not feel the same way and I don't want to pressure you into feeling something. But I can't keep pretending everything is normal in our friendship, when it isn't. So are you trying to make her run away or what I think as I open the sliding glass door to my back deck and I see someone sitting there. At first I am confused but then I see it is Ag. Of course I think to myself, just as I am getting the courage to talk to her, here she is sitting there just waiting for me. Well shit is now the time to talk to her. No, no no I can't this just isn't right.

(Ag's POV)

I turn around and there is Anna standing in the door way. "Is there room for another person on this deck?" Anna says as she comes and sits down next to me. "Only for you" I respond with. Shit was that to flirty I think to myself. We don't talk for a couple minutes and just sit in comfortable silence until I think to myself. Why is Anna out here? "Wait why are you out here? I didn't wake you up did I?" I ask worried that I might have woken her up. "No no I was awake and sometimes when I can't sleep I come out here and look at the stars, it is just relaxing." She responds with, which makes me feel better. "I could ask you the same question, why are you out here?" She says to me. Shit I was hoping she wouldn't ask me that. Do I lie? Or do I tell her the truth? "Oh Mia was snoring so I just came out here because I couldn't sleep." Why did I say that. Why didn't I just tell her the truth. Why couldn't I just say, oh I am hopelessly and completely in love with you and want to give you the world.

We sit out there for a couple hours just talking about life and some silly things. Eventually we end up laying down next to each other. All of a sudden I feel Anna's body relax, I can tell she is sleeping. Just like at playlist she fell asleep next to me. It feels like everything is coming full circle. I look over at her and the moonlight and star shining on her face shows all of her perfections and even her flaws. But even those things that she might call flaws I find perfect. The way her mouth is open just a little bit, the slight twitch she does every now and then. I know she says to me that she has trouble sleeping sometimes, but somehow whenever we are together she ends up asleep. I sit there for a couple more minutes before I start to get tired myself. I don't exactly want to sleep on the grass so I decide to wake Anna up and take her upstairs.

"Anna, boon, sheriff, wake up you should go upstairs to sleep" I say while trying to shake and wake her up. She just kind of mumbles and puts her arms up for me to lift pick her up off the ground. I can tell she is exhausted and doesn't want to walk upstairs, but I know she will be even more grumpy tomorrow morning if she doesn't at least get some sleep in her own bed. She gets up and starts to walk towards the door but is leaning on me out of pure exhaustion. I can't help but to laugh to myself because of how cute she is being right now. I get her to the steps and say "okay goodnight Anna, I will see you in the morning" and start to turn away, but before I get to far away I hear her say "wait, will you walk me upstairs" in the cutest sleepy voice. How was I supposed to say no to that. "Of course bub whatever you need" and walk behind her up the steps. Once we get to her room I make sure she is in her bed and pull her blankets so she is all covered up. As I pull the blankets up she grabs me and gives me a hug. She doesn't say anything except for a small and sleepy "thank you." I turn around and head down the steps to the basement. Part of me was hoping Anna would ask me to stay in her room with her, but she doesn't and is asleep before I even get out of her room. I get down to the basement and just stare at the ceiling before I drift off to sleep thinking about the beautiful girl sleeping upstairs.
