Love Song
-Prologue-
"Everybody thinks being the sheriff's daughter"Oh she's a good little girl. Well I'm not exactly-"The little voice stopped by a paper ball being thrown at her, everyone in the class laughed.
"Jem, outside of my classroom." The teacher shouted at the 18 year-old boy.
"Good, cause I don't like this class" He said getting up and walking towards the door. "See you later sweet cheeks."
The innocent 17 year-old girl blushed at the bad boy comment that he had said to her while walking out the door. She looked at her classmates in front of her including her brother and best friend in the back. Then the teacher coughs out loud.
"Please continue Anna." The teacher nod to Annabeth to continue with her fictional mystery story, she nods back at her teacher, but the words never seemed to come out of her mouth. Annabeth looked up at her brother. Her brother looked worried at her, worrying that she'll throw up again, like in the play she was in her junior year. She covered her mouth quickly and bends over as her stomach turned, everyone was waiting for her to throw up. But she sat up quickly and looked at the teacher.
"Excuse me." She spoke finally.
"Annie wait!" Annabeth stood up and ran out the door covering her mouth trying to prevent the vomit coming up. Though the restroom was too far away and the nearest thing close to her was a trash can outside in the hallway. She made it to the trash can, but a familiar someone was next to it.
"Ate something bad girly?" He asked.
"Get away from my best friend, Jem" Annabeth's best friend shouted at him.
"I'm fine Rose." Annabeth protested.
"No your not, have you ate breakfast this morning? Because you really need to eat like three meals a day, its doctor recommended you-"Annabeth cut off by throwing up again. Then Jem grabbed a hand full of her hair pulled it back so no chunks get in her hair. But Rose did not accept the facts that Jem liked her, so she slapped his hand away from her hair and replaced it with hers.
"Hey Annie, are you okay?" A male voice approach at her side, Annabeth apparently couldn't response by her position she was at.
"You wanna take my spot Emilio?" Rose asked Annabeth's older brother. He nodded 'yes' to her and took his little sister bundle of raven like hair.
"Mija' go home, I know that papi won't believe you, but when I get home I'll tell him everything. Okay?" Emilio said trying to sooth her to go home. "Rose, drive her home."
Her best friend nodded and waited till the fragile girl was done vomiting in the trash can, but with the two people that she trusted the most didn't even realize that the bad boy figure slipped a piece of paper in her pocket and walked away from them. Sooner or later Annabeth was done vomiting, her mother was worried and her father was hoping that she didn't have anything wrong with her and that it was only the flu. But it wasn't, Annabeth was diagnosed with breast cancer, and the doctor said that she had a year to live. Her family was devastated and later it reached out into the whole entire town, most of the town people were trying to raise money for her to get treated, and the rest did not care if she lived or not. But every night Annabeth sat at her window seat and looked at the cemetery looking at the graves where love ones once lived.
"Goodnight my angel, I love you." Her father said kissing her forehead and leaving her bedroom. The sick girl closes her eyes and waited another hour till her parents fell asleep.
"12:00" She whispered. Annabeth pull off her covers and quickly put on her warm sweatshirt, she grabbed a flashlight and quietly ran of the house. The night sky darkens over the town of Charlestown, Massachusetts with the lights not letting the stars shine brightly.
"Hey sexy." A slur voice approached her. "It's dark out, why are you out here alone?"
"Yea, you know what happens to little girls at night?" Another came along the corner. The two drunk mean came closer and closer to her, Annabeth dug deep into her pocket hoping that her brothers pocket knife was there, but only a flash light was there.
"Come here and give me a kiss." One of the drunken men grabbed her and brought her up to his lips.
"Go and get a girlfriend!" Annabeth shouted and flash the light in his eyes and hit him over the head with it. The man released her and tried to cover his head with his hand. Annabeth stumbled and ran towards the cemetery.
"I'm bleeding! You bitch!" The man yelled. "Don't just stand there, get her!"
Annabeth reached to the cemetery and saw a dark like figure staring at a tombstone, the figure looked familiar to Annabeth but she couldn't figure out who was it. Then the footsteps of the other drunken man came closer.
"HELP!" She screamed out to him running up to him. "There are men trying rape me!"
The figure turned around to reviled itself.
"Jem get her!" The man yelled out to him. Jem pointed to Annabeth hoping it wasn't her.
"Yea her, you idiot!" Then Jem grabbed Annabeth's arm and pulled her into his chest, then he pulled out a pistol and pulled the trigger at the man. Annabeth went into relief after he pulled the trigger, but the relief didn't last. She pulled out of his arm.
"You killed someone." She whispered. Then she gagged at the fact that she heard someone die near her and know who killed the man. Annabeth quickly covered her mouth and ran to the closest bush she was near and threw up onto the soggy ground.
"You okay?" He came closer to her. She put her hand up to stop him.
"Have you ever killed another person before?" She asked standing up. He shook his head 'no' and Annabeth let out a huge sigh.
"Holy macaroni and cheese." She 'cursed'. Jem laughed at her.
"Really? Macaroni and cheese, why don't you say 'holy shit' or somethin'. "He chuckled. Annabeth gave him a look that says 'I don't curse door knob'. Then a police car pulled up to the front of the cemetery, Annabeth took action and grabbed Jem's arm and pulled him with her to hide behind a large bush.
"Okay I don't want to get into trouble; can you do that for me?" She looked worry at Jem hoping that he wouldn't do something stupid. Suddenly they hear footsteps running up towards the dead body.
"Hey we got a suspect down, looks like he's been shot." The cop reported "No pulse, looks like his killer just shot him and went off."
Annabeth slowly backed away and try to make it to the back gate, but Jem didn't accept it. He looked at her as if she was an idiot and grabbed her arm, and then she yelled out a yelp. Which did get the cops attention; Jem quickly pulled her to his chest and roughly kissed her to shut her up, but he didn't except her to kiss back. Jem just shrugged and move on and continue to make out with her, and then Annabeth pulled back.
"Okay, umm wow." Annabeth smiled at him.
"Who's there?!" The cop shouted and pulled out his pistol. Next thing Annabeth sees is Jem standing up pointing the pistol at the cop.
"Get the fuck out!" Jem cursed at the police. Then Jem pulled the trigger and the pistol shot fire, he missed. The cop was frighten, but didn't stop him from tackling Jem.
"You have right to remain silent." The cop continue while cuffing up Jem, then he stop on the sight of Annabeth.
"Your that girl who's dying of cancer, Annabeth Rodegiez, right?" Annabeth was frighten at the fact the cop recenize her. "You also read books for the sick children at the general hostpital."
Annabeth looked over at Jem with his eyes wide worried, she couldn't figure out why. It wasn't the fact he was getting arrested, was it because she was dying? She had no clue.
"I'll let you off the case Miss. Rodegiez, I won't let the other people know. Also the whole entrie town hopes that you'll land safely in California tommarow!" The cop yelled back putting Jem in the back of the police car. Then the cop got into the driver seat and left the sick girl in the cemetery.

"Ladies and Gentlemen we have landed her in Boston, Massacheuttes. It's a beautiful night at 56 degrees and tommarow will be with Sunny skies and the highest at 74. Have a nice night." The nuse slowly lifted her eyes to Boston. She smiled softly, Annabeth felt finally at ease though she had to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning because of a meeting and then she can rest for the week and get cozzey. Loudly the plane landed and Annabeth quickly got off the plane, she looked down at her cell phone that just recently turned on. Annabeth had 20 new messages. 10 from Thor, 5 from her mom, 1 from Kristia Coughlin and the rest from her Brother Emilio and his new bride and her best frind from highschool Rose.

"Lady bug? Serouisly Annie?" Kristia said with her boston accent. Annabeth gave her a hug and signed.
"Do we have to go to the bar?" She asked.
"Yes, you need it." Rose picked up her carry-on while Annabeth carries her luggage to the truck. Annabeth sat on a seat for another hour and a half in the back with Kristia's daughter playing card games and teaching her new tricks. then the truck stopped at a house.
"Alright, come on Shayne we at are destination, Annabeth you wanna drive to the apartment your staying at and then Kristia will show the way to the bar?" Rose asked to Annabeth while she was unbluckling her self.
"Umm sure, why not." Annabeth unbuckled herself and went into the driver seat of the car. Then she waved good-bye to Rose and Shayne as they walked into the house. Then it was scilent all the way to Annabeth's rented aparment.
"Aww here we are." Annabeth pulled up to the parking lot.
"Wow, you live with the snotty brat's place?" Kristia laughed.
"No... the middle class place that has 2-bedroom aparments." Annabeth smiled. "Now help me unload the truck and into my new aparment."
