Before I begin this chapter, I want to give some recognition to the one and only @chaoticgeek . She is what inspired me to write this story. Check out her book, it's much better than mine. Let's begin!
Annabeth's pov
Barret smiled, and walked out of the room to get the rest of the cast. I noticed that she had taken off her blazer, and so I decided to put it on. I checked myself out in her mirror and frowned. I somehow had put it on wrong. I adjusted it in different ways, but whatever I did it seemed to just look worse.
Barret and the rest of the cast walked in and saw me trying on her blazer. The were all laughing and I just smiled, clearly embarrassed.
"You have it on backwards silly." Barret walked up to me and helped me wear it correctly.
We all laughed together. A girl in all green spoke up.
"How about we introduce ourselves to Annabeth."
The rest nodded in agreement. Barret sat behind me and started braiding my long, dark, wavy hair, because I already knew her, and didn't need to be introduced. Geez, I just met her and she was like a mother.
"Well how about I start. My name is Alice, and I play Heather Duke." The girl in green said, with a warm smile on her face.
"I'm Elle, but you already know me. I play Heather McNamara." She said between small giggles. She looked really sweet.
"I'm Jessica, the one who plays the "Mythic Biatch" Heather Chandler." I couldn't help but laugh at her definition.
"Hey! I play Slushie Boy, JD. Call me Ryan." I recognized him. He carried me inside.
Barret was busy finishing my hair, putting things like bows and hair clips in. The next person spoke.
"Hey I'm Katie. I play Martha." She gave an awkward smile and waved.
"I'm Jon. I play Ram." He just waved.
"I'm Evan, I play Kurt." He too, just waved.
By then, Barret had finished my hair. I had two French braids with 2 blue bows.
"Wow, you look really pretty!" Jessica told me, while walking over.
"Thank you!" I said back. I was amazed how comfortable they had made me, considering I was laying in the road a few hours before. I froze. Just thinking of the pain I was in while I was laying on the road made me start sobbing. I turned around and nuzzled into Barret's side, crying into her chest. She hugged me and laid her chin on top of my head.
The rest of them just stared. They probably thought I was a crybaby. The thought made me sob harder. Jessica sat next to me, rubbing my back. Elle was bent down, her hand. on my shoulder.
"I'm so s-sorry. I ruined everything." I muttered between sobs.
"No, no! Honey, you didn't ruin anything. Something probably triggered you." Jessica said quietly. Ryan walked over, and sat down next to Barret.
"Yeah, you did nothing wrong. Your dad must've put you through some traumatic events." Elle joined in.
Barret and Ryan stayed silent, which was kind of comforting.
"Shoot." I heard Katie say, "Sorry, I have to bounce. Let's meet up tomorrow, okay? It was nice meeting you Annabeth. Stay strong, baby." Katie walked out.
"Yeah I think we'll head out too. See ya, Anna. You seem cool." Jon said. Both him and Evan left.
As soon as those three left, Alice came and kissed me on the cheek. "Imma go get some pizza and bring it back here. See you guys soon." Alice walked out the door. Elle and Jessica stood up, and so did Ryan. Barret kissed the top of my head and stood up too.
"I'll be back in a minute, Annie. I just need to talk to them." Barret told me. I nodded, and hugged a pillow. The group walked out of Barret's dressing room. As soon as they left, I put my ear close to the door, hoping to hear their conversation. I heard Barret's voice speak.
"Guys, I'm honestly considering adopting her. She needs it. That panic attack proved that she was in a very unhealthy environment. Also, the fact that her own father threw her into the road."
"Barret, that's a great idea! But you are only 24, are you sure you can handle a kid and Heathers?" I heard Elle ask. I really hoped Barret wouldn't change her mind, I couldn't go back to that hell hold.
"I can handle it. She needs a stable home. She needs someone who can love and care for her. I'm afraid she hasn't had much of that." I heard Barret say. That was almost true. My dad had never been around much anyways, but ever since my mother died in a car crash, my father had been forced to stay home more.
Jessica gave a light laugh. "You are a strong woman, Barret. If anyway can handle that, it's you."
"Puh-lease! I am more of a woman than you will ever be, Barret Wilbert Weed." I heard Ryan say. I also heard the cast burst out laughing. I myself had to stifle a giggle.
"Alright, let's go in and ask her if she cool with the idea." Barret said. I ran back to the couch and pretended like I had heard nothing. I couldn't stop the excitement filling my insides.
"Annabeth?"
"Yeah Barret?"
"How would you like to be adopted?"
Wow tOtAl cliffhanger. We all know she is gonna say yes. I wouldn't get too excited though, I have some evil things planned. See ya!
