Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from 'Just Listen'…Sarah Dessen does, as such…I will try to keep it flouffy.
This is about my favorite characters in the book, they are also the main characters, oh well.
As he was walking out the front door, Owen thought about her. 'Annabel' Annabel was the only person he trusted, the only person he could openly talk about his music with. They had met the first day of junior year, on a brick wall, at lunch. Now it was senior year, and so much had changed.
Owen had grown another few inches, leaving Annabel far behind in height. He had grown out his hair to his ears, and had started dressing differently. Instead of wearing his normal sweatshirt and jeans, he now wore button shirts and jeans. He still had his radio show, Anger Management, but now it was hosted by both him and Annabel, while Rolly and Clarke where the technical managers.
Annabel had grown out her hair, if only because Owen had said he liked it longer. She had quit modeling, and had broken out of her self-imposed isolation. She was still dressed in high-fashion clothes. Mallory was now Anger Management's most devoted listener, ever since her favorite model had started to co-host. Annabel had also convinced Owen to play more commonly played songs.
After all of the rumors that they were going out during junior year, they started dating after Owen's grounding ended. They had been together since then, virtually inseparable. The first kiss they shared at his sister, Mallory's, 'photo shoot' was not by any means their last. The kisses grew in intensity while in private, but stayed as chaste in public. Weekly 'date nights' were always planned around as well as the radio show, which had now gotten a better time slot at seven at night, as opposed to seen in the morning.
Owen walked down the pathway to his land rover, which was really the only vehicle he could fit into between him and Annabel. He was picking out a techno song to try to get Annabel to listen to for the last time, and if it didn't work, he was giving up. But this time, he was going to present it to her in the carwash, which, as she stated, "Everything always sounds better in the carwash."
As he was driving to go and pick up Annabel for their date, he put in the CD that had brought her back to him, 'Just Listen', the blank CD that did so much. As the silence was overruled by static, he sat back and thought of what he could do with her tonight. 'We could go to the house of bacon…or to the Bento…or maybe just back to my house…but then Mallory would be there…hmmmmm…'
Then he pulled up to the curb outside her house, where she was already waiting for him. He pushed open the passenger door, and she climbed in, instantly starting on the process of the seatbelt. Owen waited until Annabel had managed to buckle up, before he put the car into gear. He pulled away from the curb, but only after kissing her quietly, reaching up to cup her cheek in his palm.
A/N: Hey, I'm still lost as to where these two are going to go on their date…umm…any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is my first fan fiction, so constructive criticism would not be frowned against for me…unless you called me so terrible at writing that I deserve to die….then I wouldn't like that much…
I will take anyone's comments and respect them, and try to make everyone happy…although I know where I want this to go, I will try to add or delete things that would make the fiction better. All I'm asking for is a little help along the way.
