Here are the fics. It's been a while since I have written anything so be gentle please. Enjoy

She could never really understand what she had been thinking at the time. She had, after all, fallen in love with her best friend. And while that wasn't a completely taboo thing to do these days, it still seemed like it was wrong in some way.

Especially when it was obvious that said best friend did not feel the same way about her.

She hadn't even known about this Parker girl until now. But in the long run, she supposed that it was for the best. At least for Auggie.

Love is a beautiful thing. It's something that everyone should experience. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work out for everyone. Annie was the perfect example. She had found love twice now; once in a fleeting and temporary manner, and now it was the forever kind. The one that takes your breath away and gives it back at the same time. The kind people search for their entire lives. The one that makes relationships last through thick and thin.

But for Annie, it seemed, loved didn't want her back in either case.

She had been ready to put herself out there. To take the risk that she had been so afraid of for the past two years, and to go after someone that she wanted without the fear of what had happened with Ben to hold her back.

But she had been too late.

Auggie was gone over someone else both literally –in Africa- and figuratively.

So instead of finally getting the one thing she had unknowingly craved for, she had received a car and a pat on the shoulder.

The consolation prize of the century.

Annie wondered if many girls could say that the potential love of their life had given them a car to sooth the sting of rejection. Probably not.

Although Auggie had not knowingly rejected her, it had hurt her just the same.

And he would never know. She would make sure of that.

"I can actually hear you smiling."

She couldn't believe that the Auggie that was normally tuned into just about every emotion that ran through her body could have made such a huge error in judging her silence.

That was what love does to a person, Annie supposed. Makes them forget about the world around them.

She could understand that in a way. She had almost lost herself for a moment back in the garage; had almost let the tears that were just below the surface come out of their hiding place.

Luckily, she was able to control herself. At least until she had reached her safe house; the place that no one but Joan knew about. Where she could truly be alone, and let the loss of something so significant wash over her.

It felt good to finally cry. It was a catharsis in its own right. She was able to quietly exorcise the demons of her heart without breaking anything.

Annie hoped that the helpless feeling would go away. Auggie was certainly going to give her plenty of space for the next few weeks.

She would find a way, and if she couldn't, she would take care to keep Auggie from finding out.

As far as he was concerned, she was just a girl that he had given one of his most prized possessions to, not the woman who had given her heart to a man who didn't even want it.

So there you go. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
