Dear Diary,
I'm a bitch… It's simple… It's a fact… I'm pushing Liam away when I love him. It makes no sense but I do it anyways. His eyes are so deep they lead me far away from this hell I seem to be living in but I can't seem to escape fully. Something always seems to get in the way of my happiness… Why can't I be perfect…? Why can't I face my own life I've made?
-Annie
Annie closes her diary and places it in the secret spot behind her picture frame. Sometimes she wishes she was small enough to fit back there to hide from life for awhile. She hadn't been taking her sleep medication. She hasn't slept in weeks but she didn't care.
"Hey I'm going out for a drive. Wanna come?" Dixon asks his sister.
"Sure but can you drop me off at the beach?" Annie asks trying to muster a small smile.
"Yeah I was planning on heading there anyways I heard the waves are good right now."
They didn't talk the entire drive. Once at the beach Dixon grabbed his surf board and disappeared into the waves. Annie needed time by herself. She was glad Dixon didn't push into her life like everyone else had been trying too. That's when she saw Liam and his surf board 10 feet away waiting for her.
"Teddy you should be practicing your tennis!" Teddy's dad yelled at him threw the thick wooden bedroom door.
"Leave me alone dad! For once just back off please!"
Teddy still couldn't understand what was going on with Sliver. Had she lost her love for him? That couldn't be… That's just crazy talk…
"Teddy get out here NOW!"
"Dad back off! It's my life I'll choose to do with it what I want!"
"Fine… Waste your life away but don't blame me for your mistakes later on son!" Teddy can hear his father's foot steps walking away. He breathes a sigh of relief. He just needed some space… but he also needed Sliver…
