Hickeys but no Kisses- Sabanna

Chapter 8

Anna pov-

“Hey Anna,” she says looking at me. “Hi, Maria,” I say grumpily. I haven’t seen Maria since sophomore year and I was hoping it was going to stay that way. 

She sat down behind me. “Miss Adamson. I see you are late on the first day,” our professor said talking to Maria. “Sorry, it won’t happen again,” Maria responded from behind me. “Not surprised,” I muttered under my breath knowing that she wouldn’t be able to hear me. 

I was kind of excited for class but this definitely ruined my whole mood. I can’t believe she goes to college here too. 

Class was moving along at the speed of a snail because our professor was just going over the semester's plan and his expectations for us.

I was completely in my own little world. “Anna,” Sab said, interrupting my thoughts. “Anna class is over,” she said again. I stood up still frustrated and started walking out of class.

“Hey, you can’t just walk away from me,” she called after me, running up to me and grabbing my arm, turning me to face her. “Well I think I just did,” I said sassily. I turned back around and continued walking away.

Sab pov-

She did not just get angry at me. I did nothing wrong in that situation. I decided it would just be best if I just went back to our dorm and talked it out with Anna. I opened the door and looked for her. She wasn’t there, where could she have gone. I called her and texted her but she wouldn’t respond. I decided to just wait for her.

I waited for hours and hours hoping she would come back. It was 1 in the morning and she still hasn’t come back. I just sat there and waited going over what happened during class. It started pouring and I got really nervous. I finally heard the door open and she walked inside. “ANNA! YOU CAN’T JUST RUN AW-” she sniffled and I looked up at her. Her eyes were red and puffy like she had been crying. She was soaking wet and shivering. “I’m sorry Sab, I just-” I cut her off. “No need to explain, we can talk tomorrow. We just need to get you into some warmer dry clothes right now.”

Anna pov-

I don’t know why I just got angry at Sab. She did nothing wrong. It’s Maria I should be angry at.

I walked away from Sab and disappeared behind the closest building which just so happened to be our dorm room building. I walked up the hill behind and sat on the ground leaning my back against the tree. I couldn’t hold in my tears. I didn't know if they were tears of anger or sadness.

Sab called me until my voicemail box was filled with only her voice. She texted me to the point of where I couldn’t even open my phone without a new text appearing. I ignored all of them trying to clear my head. I sat there and watched the sunset, it was like the whole world stopped, so I just sat there for hours. I didn’t want to have to go back to Sab and tell her about Maria. I didn’t want her to see me crying again. I knew she would understand. I just didn’t want to have to relive it again. 

It was about 11 pm and it started to sprinkle. That sprinkle turned in rain. That rain turned into pouring. I tried hiding under the tree to keep dry at first but then just gave up. I sat back down under the tree getting more and more wet, hoping it would just wash away all my problems. In reality I knew it wouldn’t, but I could at least try. 

The rain dripped down my face which was already wet with tears.

It started to get colder outside causing me to start shivering. I looked to our dorm room and could see that the light was still on so I was assuming Sab was still awake. She never sleeps with the light on. I started to make my way back and started to unlock the door. I opened it and walked in dripping water on the carpet.

“ANNA, YOU CAN’T JUST RUN AW-” she looked at me. I wanted to explain, but I was still trying to stop crying. “I’m sorry Sab, I just-” “No need to explain, we can talk tomorrow. We just need to get you into some warmer dry clothes right now.”

She walked me into the bathroom so I stopped dripping on the carpet. Technically I was still dripping on the tile, but it’s easier to wipe up. “I’ll go grab you some clothes to change into. If you want you can start the shower water so it starts to heat up,” she said walking out of the room.

I started the water and started to pull off my sweatshirt. It was really heavy because it was made out of cotton. Sab walked back in with my dry clothes and must have seen I was struggling. 

“May I?” she asked signally to my sweatshirt. I nodded my head because I opened my mouth and nothing came out. She walked up behind me and grabbed the back of my sweatshirt pulling it up into the air and setting it on the floor next to us, leaving me in my sports bra. “Do you need help with your pants?” I shook my head no. She turned to walk out. I tried to pull them off but couldn’t. I let out a grunt in frustration and tried again.

“Please just let me help you.” I nodded my head in defeat as she walked back over. She tried to pull them off but was also struggling. “Turn around,” she said. I obeyed. She picked me up and set me on the counter. She looked into my eyes and I felt butterflies in my stomach. Shaking her head as if to snap out of it she grabbed the bottom of my left pant leg and tugged and it slid off. She did the same with the right. She put my pants next to my sweatshirt and walked out.

I got into the shower and washed myself up. I got out and out on my dry clothes. Sab brought me a sweatshirt and a pair of sweatpants assuming I was going to be cold. I brushed my hair and walked out of the bathroom. Sab was already laying in bed. She must have been tired waiting for me. I turned the lights of and walked over to her bed. I kissed her on the forehead and crawled under the covers and cuddled up next to her because I was still freezing cold.

“I’m sorry for making you worry about me and stay up all night,” I whispered to her. “It’s alright,” she whispered back to me. With that we both fell asleep.

I am sorry if Anna and/or Sab have read this. Please remember, it is a fan-fiction. It is not true (obviously).

Also I didn't reread it. I just wanted to get it published.
