I woke up yawning and stretching my arms and legs out when I felt something solid behind me I froze mid-stretch and slowly looked over my should then mentally slapped myself in the head. It was just Jake he must have fallen asleep before he could have gone back to his room. I looked out the open window a light breeze was coming through blowing the white laced curtains softly.

The sun shone lightly through my room making the walls look like a lighter shade of purple then the deep purple I was used to seeing. I sighed and rolled on to my back and froze again as Jake's arm moved across my stomach and to my hip where his hand rested. I felt his breath on the top of my head softly so I knew for sure he was still asleep but then again Jake wouldn't wake up through an earth quake the guy slept through everything and I mean everything. But he was my own connection to the real world and kept me together. He is the older brother and best friend I never had when I was little.

"Stop staring its creepy" came his voice I jumped a little and looked back towards the window.

"Sorry you have something on your face" I said smiling and looking out the window at the sun rise knowing full well that Jake was vainer then any girl I knew. He jumped up and launched himself at my mirror.

"Where? What is it? Is it still there?" he asked looking hard and close at his face I sat up and watched him then started laughing. He stopped looking at his face and looked at me through the mirror.

"Oh you're so funny!" he growled folding his arms over his chest and turning around to look at me laughing in bed. I fell back against the pillows and kept laughing.

"You're so damn vain Jake!" I blurted out between giggles he stalked over to the bed trying hard to fight the grin on his face as he tried to look at me serious like.

"I take it you didn't have any more nightmares then if you're making fun of me and my vanity?" he said now with his hands on his hips, I stopped laughing and just looked up at him.

"No... No more nightmares last night." I said sitting up and looking at my hands. The bed moved and Jake sat in front of me.

"Look Anna he's long gone my mum and dad won't let anything happen to you, I promise" he said putting his hand top of mine.

I looked up into Jake's blue eye's "don't leave me alone" I said and launched myself into his arms my arms wrapping around his neck and his arms wrapped around my waist.

"I promise I'm not going to leave you ever" he whispered into my hair and hugged me tighter against him.

A tear slowly fell down my cheek Jake had been there for me since we started school together. From day one he promised to always be there and not once in eleven years has he not been there for me even when we fought he would always be the one I called when needed to talk whether I was angry with him or not.

There was a light knock at the door Jake and I looked up to see his little brother on his tip toes slowly opening the door. I had an instant grin on my face Jeremy was the cutest 4 year old I had ever seen with his scruffy blond hair and his bright blue eye and pink cheeks. There was no way anyone could resist him he was just so adorable.

"M...m...Momma w... w... wants... ANNA!" he squealed and ran over to my bed when he saw I was sitting behind Jake he climbed up on my bed clumsily, I laughed and helped him up he wrapped his tiny arms around my neck. I heard Jake groan from behind him I looked up and saw the look on Jake's face and started to laugh again

"What's funny?" Jeremy asked pulling back and looked between me and Jake while pushing his blond curls out of his eyes.

"I think Jake's jealous you love me more Jeremy" I said winking at Jake he just rolled his eye's

"No I just now have a headache from you, you little squealer" he said then grabbed Jeremy.

We all laid on my bed trying to get our breaths back from laughing so hard. "Mommy says breakfast is ready" came Jeremy's soft voice Jake sat straight up.

"Food? Jeremy why didn't you say anything sooner I'm starving" Jake said getting all excited about stuffing his face with Alice's tasty blue berry pancakes and fruit salads.

I started to laugh and said "hurry before your dad eats it all" I sat up just as Jake bounced off my bed and threw Jeremy over his shoulder and walked out. I smiled as I heard Jeremy squealing and laughing all the way down the hell and the stairs.

I got up and walked to the bathroom my blond hair was a mess I pulled a face in my mirror and sighed as I pulled on my hair. I quickly brushed my hair and swept it up into a messy bun at the top of my head bits of hair fell down around my face. I looked at the piece of hair that had fallen right down the middle of my face I blew it out of my face and tried to pin it back with a couple of bobby pins.

When I was satisfied with it I rubbed my eyes, when I caught my eyes in the mirror I leaned closer and looked at my eyes. Of course they were a bright green just like my dad's had been, I sighed and looked down at the basin sink. Closing my eyes for a second I opened them again and turned around I pulled off my pyjamas and grabbed a bra from my pile of clean clothes I was yet to put away I had just done it up when someone walked it

"Anna, Jeremy is going eat all the pancakes if you don't hurry" came Jake's voice from the door

"GET OUT!" I screamed and grabbed for my blanket I wrapped it around myself and looked to the door and saw Jake blushing a bright red and looking at my sheet covered body. "Geez Jake can you knock I was getting dressed"

"I… ah... Um ... Right" he said and turned and walked out but ran straight into the door "shit... Ouch" he rubbed his forehead and walked out closing the door behind him.

Yes we had been friends for a long time but it didn't mean we had seen each other naked or even made a pack to lose our virginity to each other if we hadn't lost it by the time we turned 18. I sat down on my bed and rubbed my face trying to get rid of the sudden flush that came over me as I thought about Jake kissing my neck my fingers in his hair as his hands roamed my body. I groaned and stood up and shook my head.

Jake is like my older brother fuck! Get your mind out of the gutter Anna!

After breakfast I went out shopping with Jake's mother Alice while his dad took him and Jeremy out fishing for the day.

I had been listening to my iPod and not realised Alice had been talking to me til she started to wave her hands in front of my face.

"Sorry Alice" I said blushing as I took the headphones off.

"It's okay sweetie, are you hungry? All this shopping has me famished" she laughed as I looked to the trolley that had at least ten bags of shopping most of them clothes.

Jasper was going to have a fit when he sees all of this I thought to myself as I bit my bottom lip though most of the cloths were for me since my parents had died I barely ate and lost a lot of weight from it so now all my clothes either hung off me or were too big for me.

"Oh honey don't worry about jasper" she smiled and hugged me, I smiled back.

"So what's for lunch?" I asked

"Well since we don't have the boys tagging along we can go anywhere you'd like" Alice said pulling the trolley back towards us.

"Okay well I could really go for a kebab." I said looking towards my favourite kebab place.

Alice laughed a little at my enthusiasm for food and said "okay honey."
