Annie sighed and looked out the musty window. She was so confused, yet so assure of herself. She was calm, yet stressed. Her heart was in two, and she felt like going in a corner and crying her brains out. Even while in middle school, 8th grade to be exact, Annie was in love. Everyone knows that it takes a while to fall in love, but she was so sure that he was the one. Every time she saw him, her heart skipped a beat, and just looking at pictures of him was to hard for her. He had gone out with one of her best friends, so she was a little unsure about that, but she had been the one to break up with him.
During Science class, Annie caught him looking over at her again, and then glancing away quickly. She didn't know what this meant, but she was so sure that he liked her back. In band, in between songs she would look around and see him looking at her. Her best friend Martina knew all about this, and she too was in band. Annie must have counted 20 times that she saw him looking at her. She was so confused; weather he really did like her, or weather she had something on her face.
At the age of 13, Annie wasn't anything special. She went to Adams Middle School, and played the flute in the band. She got good grades, and had great reliable friends that she knew she could depend on. She was a sporty chick, and she loved being able to go up to the ball diamond and play catch or just hang around out front and shoot hoops. She loved her family dearly. She wasn't all that pretty, which is why she had been spending most of her extra time thinking 'why me?' 'Why would he choose me?'
She couldn't stop thinking about him. In gym after getting a drink of water, he lifted up his shirt and wiped his mouth, and while he was looking away, she glanced over there. His stomach was nicely toned, and muscular from playing soccer.
He also was a good student, who played the saxophone in the band and had great friends too. He played soccer for the school, and was in Annie's Science, Band, Algebra, and Gym classes, and She loved every minute of it.
Annie climbed onto her bed and turned on her iPod. She turned it to Far Away by Nickelback, and her mind immediately went to him.
This time, This place Miss used, Mistakes Too long to late Who was I to make you wait?As she listened to the slow song, her eyes slowly closed, and she slowly fell asleep.
That night she dreamt about him. They were at a school dance together. He was in a nice shirt and jeans. The smell of his aftershave made her want to melt in her shoes, and she was wearing a light blue dress that wasn't to long, nor to short. As they slowly danced to Far Away, she put her head on his chest and slowly swayed to the music.
Just one chance, just one breathJust incase there's just one left
Cause you know you know you know
I love you, I loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far to long
I keep dreaming that you'll be with me and you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you any more
On my knees, ill ask
Last chance for one last dance
Cause with you I'd withstand, all of them that hold your end
I'd give it all, I'd give for us
I'd give anything, but I won't give up
Cause you know, you know, you know,
I love you, I loved you all along
And I miss you been far away for far to long
I keep dreaming that you'll be with me and you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you any more
So far away, so far away, been far away for far to long
So far away so far away, been far away for far to long
But you know you know you know
I want it
I want you to stay
Cause I need it
I need to hear you say
I love you, I loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far to long
So keep breathing
Cause I'm not leaving you any more
Believe it hold onto me never let me go
Keep breathing cause I'm not leaving you any more.
As the end of the song played, she listened to his heartbeat, going at the same rate as hers. She never wanted this moment to end. Little did she know………..
Jake awoke right away as his alarm clock went off. He thought about what had happened that night. He had a dream that he was at a dance at his school with his crush, Annie Monroe. They had danced to Far Away, and she had her head up against his chest.
During school, he couldn't get enough of her. He kept glancing over at her, waiting to see what she would do next. She was such a mysterious person with a great personality and laughed a lot. He thought that she saw him looking at her, so he would look away right away.
Going up to her locker and reading at the same time, she ran into someone. "Oh my god I'm sorry!" Jake exclaimed. She could feel herself blushing. All of a sudden, they looked at each other and he took her and kissed her gently. As they pulled away, Annie bit her lip and said, "Don't be." That had been the best day she could remember, and she couldn't wait to tell her friends! 3
