It Will Always Be You

Chapter 006

(Anna's POV)

I couldn't do it. It has been two days since Ag confessed her feelings for me and I just haven't been able to get the words out and tell her I feel the same way. We have been having so much fun, she got to meet Emmi, Ami, and Julia which was super important to me. Those are three of the most important people in my life and their opinions on Ag even if they only think it is as a friend. And of course they loved her instantly, I mean how could you not she is such an amazing person. Which I guess is why I might be in love with her.

It is the last night we have together before they leave tomorrow morning. I can feel my happiness slipping away before they are even leaving. It can be so hard to be around my family sometimes, being the middle child and only girl I just feel like a constant disappointment to my Mom, Phil and my Dad. We decide to go to Sonic one last time before they head home and I guess I have been really quiet because Ag asks "you okay over there bub?" "Yea I am fine, just sad you guys are leaving tomorrow. It feels like you just got her." I say with a pout. "Well I am gonna try to come back in August for your graduation party and you will see Mia again before you know it." Ag says trying to make me feel better. "Yea time is going to fly by so fast with both of us going to college. Well not all of us are going to college." Mia says with a laugh. "Oh yea imagine still being in high school." I turn to Mia and say. We both laugh making fun of Ag being the baby of the group. "Yea yea laugh it up you two, but when you are getting corona in college I will be safe and healthy at home." Ag says. These are the moments I am going to miss, us just making fun of each other in joking way.

The night continues and it is pretty uneventful, we decide to watch another movie. But this time not a scary one because I couldn't sleep all night the last time we watched one. It was getting pretty late and Mia said she was going to sleep. Her and Ag were sitting on the bed because they both wanted to charge their phone and I was chilling on the pullout couch. Ag and I were just casually talking during the movie but I felt bad that we might be keeping Mia up. "Why don't you come over here so we aren't talking over Mia and she can actually get some sleep since she is driving you guys home early tomorrow morning." I suggest, but if we are being honest I just wanted to be closer to Ag. She gets up without saying anything and comes sits next to me. "Give me some of that blanket it is freezing down here." Ag more so demands as she grabs the blanket and basically steals the entire thing from me. "Hey give me some back" I say as I grab some back, I take a little more of it than I anticipated because now Ag has none. "Fine I will just get another blanket." Ag says with a little sass. "No no no it's fine here we can share." I say making sure we both have enough blanket and I scooch over a little so I am closer to her. Okay this is my last chance to tell her the truth about how I really feel. "I need to tell you something." I say trying to sounds as confident as possible.

(Ag's POV)

I was trying to watch the movie to keep my mind from wandering to bad place, it's been two days since I told Anna that I miss us and she still hasn't said anything about it. I probably made up the entire thing in my head, how could I be so stupid. I was about to get up to get something to drink when all of a sudden Anna started talking and said "I need to tell you something." My heart started beating so fast, is this going to be the end of our friendship or the start of something amazing. I couldn't say anything besides "Okay." Then Anna took a deep breath and got ready to start talking, "It's just I don't know how to say this I just.." she took another deep breath clearly frustrated that she couldn't get out what she wanted to say. "It's okay bub, it's just me you can tell me anything and I am not going anywhere. I promise." I said while putting my hand on her thigh and looking her in the eye so she knew I was being serious.

She looked at me and nodded acknowledging that it was going to be okay no matter what. "The other day when you told me you missed us it really caught me off guard because I just wasn't expecting you to say that right then and there. And I never got the chance to say what I really wanted to say and I still don't know what to say expect I miss us too." I didn't even react to what she had just said my initial reaction was to just pull her in for the tightest hug I possibly could. But this hug was different than any hug we have had before, it was like we were both drowning in our thoughts and now that they are both out in the universe we can finally breath. And that's the best way I could describe this hug it was a breath of fresh air. I still hadn't said anything I just wanted to hold her like this forever. Finally I let go and looked at her, every part of me wanted to kiss her, but I didn't want to rush things instead I just say "You know you could have told me this sooner and not make me nervous for the past two days" while laugh and nudging her a little bit. "I'm sorrryyyyyy you just make me nervous" Anna says while wrapping her arms around me. "It's okay I think I can forgive you." I say joking around while putting my one arm around her back and start rubbing it.
