if you and josh don’t work out, then ima be here for you… but for now, pick him.”
“ok, …………Jo….”
Before Annie could finish Josh had kissed her, “yes.”
Annie could see the pain in Alexander’s eyes, watching her kiss Josh was tearing him apart and she could tell.. she pulls back.
Josh whispers “I love you.”
And she freezes, thinking in her head… do I really love him? Do I know what love is? Is it the way he makes me happy? The way I smile when I see him? The way I missed seeing his face? Or the way that after 5 years… she never forgot about him..?
“I love you to…” she whispers
Alexander begins to cry and stands up to leave…” well um… I think I should go now.” And with that he walks out.
“ill be back.”
“ok…”
Josh races to catch up to Alexander. “I am so sorry Alexander.. I didn’t… I shouldn’t have come back,”
“no Josh, I am glad you did, just like you the only thing I wish, is for her to be happy… and she knows that I’ll always be here for her.”
“are you two still going to be friends?”
“well um that depends…”
“on?”
“if her new boyfriend lets her talk to her ex boyfriend, that she’s still in love with.”
“oh.. whatever makes Annie happy.”
“Josh, she is really lucky to have you.”
Chapter 9
“do you really love me Annie?”
“of course I do Joshua.”
It had been 6 months since Annie had decided to date Josh.
“Annie, I need to talk to you.”
“well ok, I am listening.”
Josh takes a deep breath before continuing on, “Annie I am quite simply in love with you, do you see yourself marrying me?”
Annie froze for a second thinking back to when Alexander had said the same thing to her, she quickly recovered before she could worry Josh.
“yes Josh.” She says plain as day
Josh gets a really big smile on his face and lunges forwards and tackles Annie. She laughs and giggles but, that makes her think of when Alexander had tackled her, he had asked her the same thing.. she had said the same thing and he had tackled her.
Ok so maybe I’m not over Alexander, but he’s with Becca, and I am with Josh.. she thinks to herself. Lately she’s been smiling and playing off a convincing enough smile for everyone, but her, Josh, Alexander, and Becca sit together at school everyday and seeing Alexander holding hands with Becca lately, has been making her cry. She wishes that was her, that’s when she looks up and josh and realizes she loves Josh, and she’s happy enough with him.
One day while her and Josh were standing in the hall when Alexander walks up.
“Annie can I talk to you?”
“ok sure.”
“I mean… alone.”
“umm Josh?”
“sure babe, go ahead. Ill be right here.”
“thanks Joshie” she then kisses his cheek and follows josh. “what is it?”
“Becca…”
“what about her?”
“she told me that she was in love with you.”
“me??” Annie asked in shock. “look I love Becca, as a friend.”
“I know and I thought it was fair for me to warn you.”
“well thanks Alexander.” Annie kisses his cheek and walks away.
It was just a friend kiss she thinks to herself, he knows that. She walks towards Josh and wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him. ”hey JoshiePoo. Miss me?”
“mhm.” Is all he could say, he was to busy kissing Annie. He pulls back. “Annie are you coming over after school?”
“hmm I don’t know. I was planning on laying in the grass after school.”
“nooo Annie, come home with me, and… I will sing you our song.”
“ok baby ill be over.”
“well do you want me to walk you?”
“that’s up to you Joshua. Hehe”
“well then let’s gooo.” He says full of eagerness
“hehe ok she says grabbing his hand and following him.”
“lets link fingers!”
“oh Joshua.” She says as they link fingers.
“yes?”
“I love your retartedness.”
“awe baby my retartedness loves you too.”
They start walking up the hill when they hear Alexander behind them, calling to Annie.
“Annnieee?”
“umm what is it Alexander?”
“becca wants me to tell you, she loves you.”
“love her to, but as a friend.”
“I know.”
“bye Alexander!” Annie calls as they run to Josh’s house.
“why run?” josh asked
“I want to hear you sing!!” Annie squeals.
“haha lets sit in the grass” josh says laughing.
Annie smiles, because she can hear the smile in his voice. “ok hehe”
“ill be right back babe.” Josh walks into his room and grabs his guitar. He walks outside and sits in front of Annie. “I honestly hate singing and playing guitar in front of people… so your lucky I love you.”
“Hehe I love you tooo now go!”
Josh begins playing the guitar and soon after song lyrics follow.
*Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time
Surely you can take some comfort
knowing that you’re mine
just hold me tight, lay by my side
and let me be the one who calls you
baby all the time
I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of
My days
Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
And smother me
Warm and alive, I’m all over you
Would you smother me?
Let me be the one who never leaves
You all alone
I hold my breath and lose the feeling
That I’m on my own
Hold me to tight, stay by my side
And let me be the one who calls you
Baby all the time
I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of
My days
Now, I can breath turn my insides out
And smother me
Warm and alive I’m all over you
Would you smother me?
When I’m alone time goes so slow
I need you here with me
And how my mistakes have made
Your heart break
Still I need you here with me
Baby I’m here
Now I can breath, turn my insides out
And smother me
Warm and alive I’m all over you
Would you smother me?
Now I can breath, turn my insides out
And smother me
Warm and alive I’m all over you
Would you smother me?
Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time
Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time
Let me be the one who calls you baby
All the time
Let me be the one who calls you baby
The one who calls you baby*
Josh finishes the song and looks up to see Annie crying.
“Annie are you ok?”
“yes josh. I am, that was just so amazing.”
“it was all for you Annie.”
Annie then gives Josh a long passionate kiss that she didn’t want to end, but it was starting to get dark.
“JoshiePoo, I have to go now, but I love you so much.”
“awe no, where are you going? And I love you to baby”
“I am staying at Liz’s tonight.”
“well can you at least stay for one more song?”
“your singing?”
“yes.”
“ok Joshie, I can stay for one more song.”
Josh grabs her hand and leans to give her a kiss, and she kisses him back. “ok Annie, here it is.. and I don’t know how good I am, but I just learned this like a day ago… for you of course.”
“awe babe, I’m sure it will be great.”
He lets go of her hands and grabs the guitar…”here we go..” and he begins playing.
*What would you say if I asked you not to go?
To forget everyone forget everything, and start over with me
Would you take my hand and never let me go
Promise me, you’ll never let me go
And the stars aren’t out tonight,
But neither are we, to look up at them
Why does hello feel like goodbye?
These memories I can’t replace,
These wishes I wished and these dreams I chased
Take this broken heart, and make it right
I feel like I lost everything, when you’re gone
Left remembering what its like to have you here with me
I thought you should know
Your not making this easy
I never thought id be the one to say
Please don’t, please don’t leave me
I feel like ive lost everything when your gone
Left here remembering what its like to have you here with me
I thought you should know
Your not making this easy
Your not making this easy
Take my hand and never let me go,
Take my hand and never let me go,
Promise me…
You’ll never let go
You’ll never let go
You’ll never let go
You’ll never let go
Make this last forever
I feel like ive lost everything when your gone
Left remembering what its like to have you here with me
I thought you should know, your not making this easy
You’re not making this easy
You’re not making this easy
You’re not making this easy
You’re not making this easy
You’re not making this easy*
“Josh… do you know how amazing you truly are?”
“just as amazing as you say.”
“well its true babe.”
“I love you.” He says puckering his lips.
“I love you to” Annie says and leans in for a kiss.
“hehe. But I guess you have to go now?”
“yea, ill see you in school tomorrow.”
“ill be the one waiting for a kiss..”
“josh…”
“yes?”
“I don’t want to go.”
“I don’t want you to go either babe.”
Annie hugs him tight and stands up almost falling.
“easy babe, you look like your drunk.”
“hehe I wish I was.”
“me too.. next time.?”
“sounds like a plan.”
“ok have fun at Liz’s.”
“I would have more fun here.” And with that she walks away
Chapter 10
Annie walks from Josh’s, wishing she could stay longer, but she had promised Liz that she would be there before 9:00… it was 8:30. ima be late.. she thinks to herself, then ill never hear the end of it from Liz.
Annie hears footsteps behind her and she figures its nothing, and she keeps walking on.
“Annie?” someone from the darkness whispers.
“um hello? Who’s there?” she asked
“Alexander.”
“oh hey.”
“are you ok?”
“um ya. Why?”
“just wondering… can we talk?”
“why is it every time I see you, we have to ‘talk’?”
“cause its just like that.” He says sounding annoyed.
“ok. Go on.”
“Annie have you completely moved on from me? You and josh have been together for 6 months, you don’t even glance my way any more, and we I want to hang out, your always with Josh.”
“Alexander are you seriously asking me this? How could I move on from you?? I am still as in love with you as I always have been, but at the same time I
