It seemed like forever ago, Owen, had seen his love. More of just a year though. All that had been on Owen's mind had been Anya, who he loved, but never admitted it. And he would change that, if he could only see her face, on last time. She was off in the unknown, battling whatever had come at her; He would never of expected that from her, he thought he would be the one in his relationship to leave to fight for the freedom of their country. Owen thought about how much this effected Anya's mother, knowing that she had battled cancer not to long ago. Owen had thought about dropping by to see how she was, but he grew it think it would be rather weird; due to them only meeting once.
Dark, cold, rainy. Wind roaring into his ears as he slept peacefully. A new sound roared through the room. A sound consisting of vibration, and music; his phone. Owen let out a long groan, ruffling his hand through his hair, trying to fall back asleep but his phone continued to roar into his head. Growing upset that he was woken, Owen hoped out of bed and walked over to his phone, snatching it from his dresser and looked down at the phone. Once when Owen had it in reach, it stopped. No sound or vibration coming from it. '1 Miss Called- Anya.' Owen couldn't believe what he had just read off of his phone. Was she back? How long has she been here? Owen's jaw dropped, not knowing what to do, or even to think. Again, the vibrator, the roaring of his music, played. A smile tugging along his lips and without hesitation he answered it. "Anya!" He said a little to over excited but like a slight yawn coming through. "Hey Owen." She had replied with over the phone. He had a slight studder in his tone, not knowing how to word what he had to say. "A-are you back? H-how long? F-forget that! When can i see you?" He said as he stumped over his own words. He heard her fimilar laughter and smirked to himself, "Yes i am back Owen. A while.." Her voice trailed off on the other line and then it picked back up, "Can you come over now?" She finally had asked him, causing him to smile wider, "Be right over." He said with a big great of eager in his tone before hanging up the phone and ruffling his hand through his hair once again. Owen turned to look at his clock, '1:30am' He could be questioning himself why she would invite him over this late at night but he was to excited. He through on a black sweatshirt and his shoes, keeping his pajama pants on. He knew that his father was down in the office, which he would have to go through to get out the front door. Owen sighed and walked over to his window, opening it and climbing out, luckily it wasn't a bad drop. Rain gruzzled onto his hood as he pulled it up and grabbed his bike, and took off to Anya's.
The rain has slowed as softened as he finally reached Anya. He figured that if he had rung the doorbell it wouldn't end well due to her mother. Owen looked up and he grabbed on the tiny part of roof he could reach, grasping tightly as he pulled himself up and onto the roof. Taking in a puff of breath before going over to her window. There she was, Anya, was sitting down facing the other direction towards her computer. Owen smiled wide and he gently and silently opened her window. Climbing through the window and silently walked over towards Anya. Cupping his hand on one side of her neck as he quickly leaned down and starting playfully kissing her neck, he kissed up her neck and smirked, "God i've missed you. I love you so god damn much." He said without thinking and then noticed what he said. He sucked in a sharp breath and stood up straight. Anya sat there, turned towards him, with a smile on her face, but looked shock. "And i thought you'd never admit it." She said with a chuckle before hopping up, wrapping her arms around his waist. "I love you too, Owen." Owen smiled and kissed the top of her head.
After there short conversation, and sharing of there true feelings that they had hid. They were laying down on Anya's bed. Both of them, fast asleep. The doorknob twisted, the light shined in. Pam, Anya's mother, opened up her door, in a swift moment and looked over at the two. Owen had been shirtless and Anya was in just a half tank top for torso cover up. This looked absouletly suspicous to Anya's mother. Pam slammed the door, of course she didn't know it was Owen, due to his hair in his face, "Anya Marie MacPherson!" She screamed. Owen flinched a lot, he leaned up and pushed his hair back and looked at her mother. "Shit.." He whispered under his breath and next thing he knew, Anya jumped out of her bed. Pam just looked at Owen, shocked it was him. "What are you two doing?" She said as she looked back over at Anya with pain in her eyes. Anya let out a sigh, "We just fell asleep mom, nothing happened. God. I invited him over lastnight because its been a year." She explained to her mother, as Owen jumped up and grabbed his sweatshirt, "I'm just gonna go." He said as he walked past Anya, not even kissing her cheek. "Goodbye Mrs. MacPherson, I apologize." He said as he shut the door behind him and walked out, heading home. Anya let out a groan and looked at her mom, "You see what you did?" Anya said furiously. Pam looked down at her daughter, "You asked for this yourself Anya." She said as she walked out the door, with a look that Owen had when he had walked out. Anya was worried, almost in a panic, that both of them were mad at him. The truth was, Anya got intimate with Owen, but she couldn't admit that to her mother. She flopped down onto her bed and just looked at the ceiling groaning.
Finally, he was home, aggervated and upset. He was pleased though; from what has happened. Owen walked into his house, closing the door behind him and walked in, seeing a bunch of his family members gathered around looking at him. Owen was not expecting this, he was dressed in pajama pants with the fly open, revealing his boxers, and an unzipped sweatshirt, revealing his bare torso. Owen's mother came out of the crowd and that caused Owen to walk up to his room, avoiding all interaction with family. He slammed his door shut, taking off his sweatshirt and then turned and heard his door open. His mother walked inside and stared at him, "Where were you, Owen?" She questioned him with a snarl. Owen sighed and shrugged, "I'm sorry.. Anya was back, and invited me over, but..Its done.. I'm sorry." Owen basically just ended him and Anya, without talking to Anya about it. His mother's jaw dropped, she had known about Anya going to the army but she didn't know she was back, let alone that he was done with her. "Its okay, honey. Wash up and come downstairs." She said with a calmer tone then before and left his room, closing the door behind her. Owen changed out of his pajama shorts into a pair of jean shorts and pulled on a 'Nickelback' t he had in his dresser. He heard his door open again, he didn't turn around this time, "I'll be down in a second." He called over thinking it was his mom. He felt a hand on his back and he flinched turning around, seeing Anya. Owen took in a deep breath and looked at her, "Said no more trouble with this." He went on before turning around and brushing his hair. Anya let out a sigh and nodded, "I know Owen, but you really think i'm gonna tell me mom what i did? I can't do that." She said quitely and he snapped, "You promised! I can't do this." He left it at that and walked downstairs to were his family was, leaving Anya upstairs in his room.
Owen mingled along with his family, greeting and apologizing for his rude introduction, most were kind and forgiving about it; besides his uncle who often picked on him about things, but Owen got along with it and smiled through it. Anya was crying, upstairs in Owen's room, without Owen knowing what he truly did. Owen's cousin, Aria, walked by Owen's room, she heard a strange sound, weeping and walked into his room, knocking on the door. "Hey, you don't know me but i'm Aria, Owen's cousin. Are you okay?" She said as she approached Anya. Anya wiped her eyes and looked up at her, "Oh, uh hi.. I'm Anya.. Sorry for this.. Not really though." She said, tripping over her own words. Aria gasped and smiled, "Owen's Anya? God he has been talking about you none stop since i started coming over, and i've been coming over every weekend for about three months. God he loves you." She explained to her, but it only made her tear more. Wiping her eyes once again, as she heard heels click along the hallway. Anya focused her attention back towards Aria, "We kinda got into a fight..Because of something that i didn't tell my mom." She admitted with a sigh and then heard the clicks of the heels again, and a tall brunette was in the door way, "Oh come on Aria, thats not gonna make the girl feel better, bring her downstairs. She needs to get around." The girl said with a smile. She looked just like Aria and sounded like Owen a bit. "I'm Mandy by the way." She introduced herself and smiled grabbing Anya's and Aria's hand and pulling them alongside her, downstairs to the party. "Looks like we don't have a choice." Anya and Aria both said at the same time, giggling at eachother.
The three girls were dancing all together, laughing and smiling. Owen on the other hand, had been relaxing at the table, alongside his mother and father, with some cousins. Owen looked over at his mother, "Whats with the party anyways?" Owen questioned his mother, rather confused. "Well, your father actually got a promotion, a big one, bringing in lots of money." She explained to her son. A smile tugged along both Owen and his father's lips, "Whoa, congrats!" He congratulated his father and then looked through the kitchen window and saw Anya with his cousins dancing. "Excuse me for a moment." He said as he stepped into the music filled room and dodged a few family members, over to Anya. Owen tapped Anya's shoulder, "Can we talk?" Owen demanded without questioning at all. Anya nodded and Owen took her hand and led her outside, where it was quite. "I'm sorry Anya, i love you. And i treated you like shit. I've tried getting better, but..It's hard to change in such a sudden, and i want to, for you." He explained to Anya, rubbing the back of his next. The next thing Owen knew, Anya jumped onto him, and kissed him with passion. What Owen didn't know is that they were in the window, clear for everyone to see. When Anya broke the kiss, she looked up into his eyes, "I don't care if your the biggest asshole, Owen. I love you, and nothing will change that. I need you Owen." She said to him, with a wide smile on her face. Owen heared ooh's and aw's and he turned his head and saw his two cousins, Aria and Mandy and he rolled his eyes. Drawing his attention back towards Anya, he smiled. "God i love you, so fucking much." He told her, picking her up into a bear hug, tightly. After a moment, he put her down and she let out a sigh. Owen furrowed his eyebrows together looking down at her, "Babe whats wrong?" he questioned her, knowing something was up. Anya sighed once more and avoided his eye contact, stepping back slightly. "R-remember when i told you i was here for a while?" She went on, tears already filling her eyes. "I-I lied.. I was only here for one night Owen..And i'm leaving..now.." She told him, not baring to look into his eyes. Owen's eyes grew into puddles, tearing up, but not letting a single tear fall. "I..I wish you would have told me Anya, i wish.. I could have made this something special, but i ruined it. Just remember, when your out there, doing something that means so much to everyone, I'll be here, thinking about you, and loving you so god damn much." He told her with a sigh. Tears streamed down Anya's face after hearing his words, "I'm really gonna miss you, Owen." She told him, knowing he already knew that. "I'm gonna miss you too." He said as he wiped away her tears. Aria and Mandy busted through the door and rushed over to Anya, hearing the clicking of their heels drove Owen insane. The two girls pulled Anya into a hug and Owen rolled his eyes, "Can i please hug my girlfriend goodbye?" He said with a roll of his eyes. Both Aria and Mandy, stepped back and nodded. Owen grabbed Anya by the waist and pulled her against him, hearing a car pull up, along with a beep. He sighed as he gripped her tighter. "Time to go solider." He said with a smirk. Anya nodded and took his hand, pulling him down the steps and over to her mother's car. They exchanged 'I love you's' and right before Anya got into the car, Owen pulled her in for one more kiss. "I love you." He said once more as she got into the car. "I love you too." She mouthed before her mother drove off.
What Anya was doing, was strong, not capable of many. Not many people would think of Anya as one to go out into the unknown and fight for something she barely knew the definiton of. Freedom, Loyalty, Country, and Peace. She was still young, needing to learn. But unlike most young citizens of Canada, she was true blooded and warm hearted and most important, brave. Just one night, was all she had with her lover. But Just One Night, made miracles go along. And she knew more were to be expected in the future.
