Whoa…I had to re-write a lot of things in this one…
Enjoy!

Later that day, a very angry Naomi Clark rushed through the school hallway, willing to find Annie at any cost. Her fist were clenched as she tried to hold in her fury.-Who does she think she is, to throw herself at Ethan like that?!- She thought, feeling her teeth gritting as she remembered seeing Annie and her ex talking at her locker. - I'll show her! Nobody messes with Naomi Clark!
Much for her lack of luck, she couldn't find the young actress anywhere.-Instead she spotted Silver, who was taking stuff from her locker. The dark-haired girl had a thoughtful expression on her face that made Naomi raise an eyebrow with curiosity. This was too much unusual…the brunette never was without Annie.
"Hey, Silver!" Naomi called from a few feet away.-Silver didn't seem to hear her. "Silver!" Nothing. –Damnit…the headphones. –The blonde approached her former friend and gently poked her shoulder, which made the brunette jump in surprise.-She didn't know if it was because she was concentrated on the music or lost in her thoughts.
"Gee, Naomi, you scared me!" Silver groaned as she turned to see who had brought her back from 'Annie Land'.
"Thoughtful, much?" Naomi grinned at her. Silver crossed her arms across her chest.
"Nothing that's your business." Naomi didn't seem to mind her former friend's defensive attitude, and she went on changing the subject.
"Do you know where Annie is?" The blonde asked. Silver raised an eyebrow, sensing bad intentions on the school princess. "I wanted to talk to her."
"About what?" Silver asked, suspicious.-Naomi seemed to think for a moment before answering.
"You know…stuff." The blonde said, giving off shoulders. Silver closed her locker's door with a lout slam. Probably about Ethan…- the brunette thought, getting suddenly pissed. – Well, she won't bother Annie with her crap…not if I can stop her.
"I know it's about Ethan, you can't deny it." Silver hissed. - The blonde gave her a surprised look. - Am I THAT obvious?!- She thought. "Give Annie a break, will you? She must be sick of dealing with all your crap. It's not her fault if Ethan likes her, so just get over it!"
"Fine." Naomi hissed back as she got angry. "Just for the record, she won't be able to hide behind you for too long…no matter what you do to protect her." Silver stepped closer and shot her a death glare.
"You don't wanna know what I'm capable of to protect her…" Her piercing blue eyes were showing so much anger that they caused Naomi to shiver.-But the blonde quickly composed her posture.
"Is that a threat?" she asked as she sent her a look of contempt.
"Take it as you wish." Silver's angry expression turned into a smirk as she walked away.-Leaving Naomi standing at the hallway with a look of disbelief.
…
Annie couldn't help but to grin because of what she had just witnessed. Silver had just stood up for her against Naomi like no one had dared before. It was great. And she felt incredibly heart-warmed due to the fact her best friend was capable of anything for her. It just makes me fall more in love for her…- she thought, sighing- Then she saw Silver walking away from Naomi with a smirk on her face; so she rushed towards her, instantly pulling her into a hug as she got close enough. Silver seemed a bit surprised at first, but she soon let out a chuckle as she hugged her back. – They didn't even mind the awkward moment they had had earlier, it didn't matter.
"What's that for…?" The brunette asked. - She couldn't help the way her hear speeded up as soon as Annie hugged her. The light haired actress sent her a warm smile.
"I heard what you said to Naomi." Annie's tone was filled with excitement.
"Oh…you did?" Silver felt her cheeks burning. - Shit, I'm blushing…- Annie couldn't stop smiling at her as she felt her heart speeding up. And she couldn't keep herself from gently kissing Silver's cheek.-Who felt like she was melting.
"You two are kinda getting too lovey-dovey with eachother, you know?" They heard Navid chuckling. The boy had approached them and only then the girls noticed they still had their arms around eachother.-They exchanged glances, blushing even more, before letting go of eachother.
"Don't worry, your secret's safe with me." Navid kept on joking.
"Haha, very funny…" Silver stuck her tongue at him and Annie playfully punched his arm. Navid laughed. However he knew there was something more between his two friends, he could sense it. And he only wished they stopped being so oblivious to eachother.
"Well, I'll catch up with you girls some other time." He said, before walking away.
"So, Annie…what are you up to today?" Silver turned to her light-haired cheerful friend. "It's Friday, and last period's about to end."
"Oh, I had an idea!" Annie said happily. "Let's make a sleepover night!"
"You know what…?" Silver smiled at her. "Doesn't sound so bad."
"We could watch movies and stuff, it'll be fun!" Annie smiled at the idea of having some Silver time. The brunette suddenly smirked.
"You mean horror movies, right?" – Ha, Silver…you're so evil... – she knew how much Annie hated horror movies, which would be an excuse to 'protect' her if she got scared. –Annie's eyes instantly widened at the idea.
"I was thinking more of a romantic comedy…" she admitted shyly. - But Silver sent her a puppy-dog face; and Annie knew she'd lost the battle. "Horror movie then, I guess…" she sighed. Silver pulled her closer into a hug.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you." She whispered in her best friend's ear.-Annie shivered; the good type of shiver. - This would be worth it, after all…
…
Now at Annie's house, after having greeted her parents and Dixon – Which made Annie frown with jealousy as her best friend kissed her brother as a greet- Silver allowed herself to relax. - The dark-haired girl threw herself on her light-haired friend's bed as soon as they arrived, letting out a loud yawn.
"You're such a lazy brat." Annie chuckled. She noticed Silver had closed her eyes, and that gave her an idea. - She walked silently towards her best friend, and when she was close enough started tickling her. The brunette instantly drifted of into laughter.
"Haha, Annie, what the heck?! Haha, stop…stop it, haha…can't…haha, breathe!" Annie ignored Silver's begging and kept on tickling her, getting more amused at every second. "Annie, come on!" At that instant Silver managed to get Annie off of her, twirling her around.-Unconsciously she ended on top of the light-haired. She felt Annie suddenly freezing and only then she realized their position; and Annie gulped when she saw the look her best friend was giving her. – A look full of lust.
Silver's heartbeats were out of control and she was finding it really hard to breathe as her blue eyes locked with Annie's brown ones. She leaned down, getting even closer to her best friend. – But before anything else could happen, they heard Mrs. Wilson calling from the kitchen.
"Girls, dinner's ready!"
Silver instantly jumped off of Annie as she sighed in huge frustration. That one was close…-She thought. - The fact she had almost revealed everything scared her and she wondered whether she would be able to control herself that night…something that was becoming really hard to do.
…
Ok…maybe this wasn't such a good idea. – Annie thought as she hid her face with the blanket she and Silver were sharing as they watched the horror movie at the living-room. The movie was too much scary for her…
Silver couldn't concentrate on it though…she kept glancing at Annie every time someone was killed, in a very brutal way, and the light-haired girl let out a squeak of fear before hiding under the covers. Gosh, even when she's scared she's cute… - the brunette though as she stretched an arm to pull her best friend closer to her. - Annie sent her a grateful look and snuggled closer to her, leaning her head against her shoulder.
It was a good feeling, for both of them. Even if they didn't realize it was mutual…They enjoyed the other's presence completely. And they just wished they could stay like that forever.
At a certain point, the movie started getting too much scarier; Annie couldn't even remember the number of people that had been killed by the cynic psychopath. Both her and Silver jumped in scare as one of the scenes got really bloody.
"Ok, this is too much…even for me." Silver admitted as she grabbed the remote and paused the screen. Annie sighed in relief.
"Let's just go to sleep." She pleaded. – No need to ask twice: Silver instantly got up from the couch, and the two girls headed to Annie's room.
…
"Silver." Annie called. – The dark-haired girl let out a groan. "Silver, wake up."
Silver opened her eyes, sitting up on the mattress she was sleeping on, letting out a yawn as she moved away her covers. When she managed to get fully consciousness, she noticed Annie sitting Indian style at the edge of the mattress, watching her with curious eyes. Gosh…it' still night. – Silver thought as she glanced at the window. – Why did she wake me up…?
"Do you know you talk during your sleep?" Annie said. "It's cute, you know." Silver raised an eyebrow, but she soon felt her eyes widening when she remembered what she had dreamt of. "Of course that when I was waken up by you yelling 'Yes, oh God, please don't stop!' I had to hold my laughter." Silver froze at Annie's amused expression, feeling incredibly ashamed. Shit…no, no, no! – Her mind yelled. – This is so damn embarrassing…- The wide grin her best friend was sending her didn't help the situation. After all, what would she say if she found out the dream was about her?
"So…"Annie moved closer to her. "Who was giving you such a good…" Poke. "…time?" Tickle. – But her smirk suddenly faded. "Wait a sec…Eww, was it about Dixon?!" The thought about her best friend having a not innocent dream about her brother made her shudder. - Even if he was her boyfriend- It was still her brother.
"Uh…" Lie. – Silver's mind ordered. But she didn't listen to it. – She shook her head, blushing. "…no." Annie raised an eyebrow. She couldn't help but to get a bit suspicious…It didn't make sense.
"Then who?" she asked. – Silver looked up at her, feeling as nervous as ever. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words would come out. "C'mon, Silver…" Annie's brown eyes were impatient. Silver then decided to confide her best friend something she had just realized.
"Annie…I love Dixon…but think I need to break up with him." She said, lowering her head. Annie didn't say anything. – And suddenly a huge wave of confidence appeared on her from nothing. – She moved a bit closer to her and managed to let her voice tone seductive as she spoke. "I've fallen in love with someone else…and it's stronger than anything." This time she looked up, seeing that Annie had frozen. – She locked her eyes on hers. And she felt her heart had started speeding up. Maybe this was it…She couldn't hide any longer. – She lifted her hands running them though Annie's curly light-brown hair. Annie felt her cheeks burning from her touch. – Did Silver mean her…?
"Silver, you're gorgeous…" She let out, breathless. "You're really adorable, it's just…" Silver kept her held on Annie's cheeks and managed to lean in, but she took a nervous breath, hesitating. "Silver…" The dark-haired girl cleared her throat and let go of her.
"Oh…sorry…about that…" she said, her voice sounding almost like a soft whisper. What the hell am I doing?! – Her mind yelled as she felt the sensation of having a knot in her throat. – She knew now that Annie couldn't possibly feel the same…she had scared her with that sudden impulse. "I'm really stupid, you know…"
"Don't say that about yourself…" Annie said. – Still feeling breathless. "You're not stupid." Silver looked up at her again, then moved closer and grabbed her best friend's face again, pressing their lips together. Annie instantly kissed back as she ran her hands through Silver's arms. The brunette pulled her even closer, grabbing her waist as she kissed her hungrily. The heat from the kiss made Annie let out a low moan against Silver's lips. – And that made Silver gently push her down against the mattress with her on top of the slightly younger girl.
"I love you." Silver let out as she pulled away from a split of a second before placing her lips against Annie's once more.
"You're such a good kisser…" Annie breathed out. Silver smirked before licking her lips for entrance, which Annie instantly allowed. They were so involved in their make-out session that it was far too late when they realized someone had opened the door.
"Oh, my God…" They heard a deep familiar voice. – The two girls instantly pulled away from eachother and looked at the doorway with wide eyes.
Of all the people that could have walked on them at that moment…it was Dixon. He had frozen on the spot with wide eyes. "Oh, my God…" he repeated as Silver jumped off of Annie, getting on her feet and lowering her head. Annie gulped as she sat up and hugged herself in embarrassment.
Dixon's shocked face told them they would have a lot of explanation to do…And that things now would be completely different.

I don't quite like the ending of this chapter….But I guess it's ok.
And I was thrilled to write the kissing scene. By the way, it was mostly inspired by a scene of the movie "Broken" (Which I didn't watch, I just found the scene on YouTube). Here's the link: .com/watch?v=e-dhLz7Xpy8
Watch it so you know how to picture… (Yes, that's Jessica Stroup)
Anyway, let me now what you think…Please review!
