Annie Sullivan and Tyler Townsend have know each other since they were born. Annie has been secretly pining over Ty while he has been oblivious to her feelings for him. But after a drunken kiss and a car crash, what will happen next between them?
We...
Ty's POV: Why can't girls read guy's minds? It would make life so much easier. Cece Matney would know I want to break up with her. And Annabelle Sullivan would know I like her. See! Life would be so much simpler!
Sadly, girls cannot read minds. So I'm stuck trying to figure out how to tell these girls how I feel. Coincidentally, just as I think that Cece texts me.
Cece hey baby! i didn't see u much at school, everything good?
I cringe a little when reading the word 'baby'. I've never really liked being called that nickname.
Ty All good! Just tired
Cece k! see u tomorrow!
It annoys me how she never uses capital letters while texting. Annie prides herself on always using capitals. It's one of my favourite quirks about her.
Another one is her camera. Most my friends just take photos on their phones, but not Annie. She takes these beautiful pictures on her camera. I've seen a heap on her Instagram account @welcome2serenity.
I open Instagram on my phone and scroll through some of her pictures.

She takes these amazing photos that are just spectacular to look at. Like the photo of Mum, Dana Sue and Helen.
Or the possum photo, which apparently she took from the roof of Sullivan's.
"Ty." I hear Mum say.
"Yeah?" I ask turning my phone off.
"Kyle just woke up. How was school?" Mum asks.
"Good. Everyone was talking about Annie and Kyle. It was a bit hectic." I say as we walk into Kyle's room.
Coach Cal dropped me off at the hospital after school finished. I asked if he wanted to come in but he said he was busy, but to say hi to Mum for him.
"Coach says hi. He wanted to come in but had stuff to do." I say to Mum. She nods, she seems like she already knows this. He must have texted or called her while I was in with Annie.
"How's Annie?" Mum asks.
"Good. She seems pretty happy to finally using crutches instead of the wheel chair." I say.
"That's good." Mum says as she sits down with Kyle.
"Where's Katie?" Kyle asks.
"With Dad. They went to the library to pick out some books."
"Okay." Kyle says. I tell Kyle all about school and he tells me about how boring his day was and how it's hurting less to breath everyday.

Later on we start packing Kyle's stuff up. He and Annie are leaving tomorrow and I know they both can't wait to leave.
Nana picks me up and takes me home that night. She order pizza with extra pepperoni, making Katie very pleased. Nana is sleeping on a mattress in Katie's room until Kyle comes back home.
After saying goodnight I flop onto my bed thinking about the stuff that's happened today.
I went to school, me and Annie sort of cleared the air about the prom after-party and I accidentally called her pretty. It's not that I didn't mean it, I think she's beautifull. But I didn't mean to say it, it just slipped out.
I close my eyes and drift to sleep, thinking about Annie Sullivan.

The next morning is a rush. We wake up early so we can help get Kyle and Annie home.
Katie is still half asleep when we arrive at the hospital, so I end up carrying her on my back to Kyle's room.
Kyle is dressed and showered when we arrive. Mum looks like she hasn't slept in ages, which is most likely true. We grab all Kyle's stuff and take it out to the car.
"Come on Kyle!" I yell as Kyle walks slower than a freaking snail!
"I'm coming!" Kyle yells back obviously as annoyed as I am. He carefully climbs into the passenger seat on the car. He looks a little shaken to be in a car again.
"You okay, bud?" I ask.
"Yeah, yeah. I think so." Kyle mumbles. He's gripping the car door handle so hard his nuckle is turning ghost white.
When we arrive home Kyle looks very happy to be out of the car.
"Home sweet home!" He yells as he walks inside. Kyle instinctively runs for the stairs.
"Ow!" Kyle yells as he mutters a curse just quiet enough so Katie doesn't hear.
"I shouldn't try to run." He mutters clutching his chest, near his broken rib. I help him ther rest of the way up to his room. Nothing's changed in his room from the last time we were both in here.
All Kyle's posters are still up on the walls, his book shelf untouched and all his nicknacks on his bedside table are in the same spot.
It feels a little awkward. "I'm gonna go see if Dana Sue and Annie need any help. Bye dude." I say as I walk out of the room, not giving him time to reply.

Gabe gave me a ride back to the hospital. In the car I tell him about everything. Annie, Cece, Kyle, Coach Cal, Dad and Mum. Everything. After I'm done I feel like a giant weight has been taken off me. He didn't interrupt and waited till I was completely done ranting to talk.
"I told you that dating Cece was a bad idea." He replies as I roll my eyes.
"Dude, you like Annie, and Annie definetly likes you. Have you seen the way she looks at you?" Gave asks.
"No. She thinks of me just as a friend." I defend.
"Well, I think your 'just friend' wants to kiss you. Again." Gabe laughs.
We walked down the hallways side-by-side as he teases me.
"Good afternoon Miss Annie Sullivan of Serenity." Gabe says dramatically, even using an old timy fake accent, as he kneels in front of her.
"Idiot." I say as I jokingly push past him. He laughs as he follows me over to Annie.
She's standing with her crutches, next to her bed, packing all her stuff up.
"Hello Mr Gabe. What did I do to deserve your presence this fine day?" Annie asks, as Gabe helps her close her suitcase, telling her she was lucky that he had some free time.
"Hi." I say as I walk up beside her.
"Hey." She responds, smiling her gorgeous smile. Gabe grins from behind her, as if saying 'I told you so!'
Me and Gabe help her move her bag to Dana Sue's car. "Thanks." Annie says as I close the car boot.
Staring at her, the sun giving her this goddess like glow, she looked beautiful. I almost wanted to kiss her again.
Almost.
But I can't, it would mess stuff up again. And things are already messed up enough.
So I tell my feelings to shut the hell up, and walk back over to Gabe's car waving goodbye to Annie as her car drives away back to her house.
