A/N: This chapter is boring:( Sorry in advance, but tomorrow's chapter will be great. (:
Annabelle sat in front of the tv for what felt like days. Her friends were busy at school, and what was she doing? Nothing. She took out her phone and flipped it open. Clare had text her back saying she was coming over. Annabelle took in a deep breath before getting up to clean the house. Annabelle looked up at the clock as the doorbell has rang. She knew it was Clare.
Annabelle opened the door and told Clare to come in. "Hey, what happened?" Clare said as soon as she was in the house. "I stuck up for Adam and it ended in a fight." Clare rolled her eyes and began her usual speech about violence. "You know violence isn't the answer." Annabelle nodded in response. "I know Clare, but I didn't start it, Bianca did." Clare rolled her eyes once more. "So what was so important that I needed to come right over here?" Annabelle took in a deep breath. "Well, I thought it was time for me to tell you why I'm here." Annabelle looked away from Clare as she sat down on the couch.
"I told Adam already, but I'm just afraid you'll think I'm crazy." Annabelle said to Clare. "That's not true." Annabelle nodded her head. "Well, it started about a year ago." She began, "I went through something terrible and I had no one to help me deal with it." Annabelle paused. "What happened?" Clare asked sincerely. "I was raped." Annabelle said simply as tears started to flow out of her eyes. "After that happened, I told my parents and they didn't even care, they didn't even believe me." Annabelle stopped to collect and calm herself. "I started acting out, I ditched all my friends and I started hanging with the kids I never even got along with." Clare didn't say a word, but waited for Annabelle to continue. "Finally my parents had enough of me. I came home from school to my stuff being packed and my parents telling me that I was moving to Canada." Annabelle let out a sad sigh.
"I'm so sorry." Clare said as she tried to console her friend. "The worst part of this is the only reason I had somewhere to go was because my cousin Julia died." Clare was equally surprised at this name as Adam had been. "What happened to your cousin?" Clare asked cautiously. "She got hit by a car after an argument with her boyfriend." Annabelle looked over at Clare who had a worried look on her face. "Something wrong?" Annabelle asked Clare. "I think it's my turn to tell you something." Annabelle was confused, has she missed something? "Eli was Julia's boyfriend." Clare blurted out quickly. "Wait, what?" Annabelle said in response. "That's the reason Eli and me aren't together. He's still trying to get over her." Annabelle felt the blood in her veins begin to boil.
"Does Adam know about this?" Annabelle asked Clare. "He knew before me." Annabelle felt her tears instantly dry up. "He didn't say anything to me about it." She said angrily. "He sat right here and lied to my face." Annabelle looked at Clare. "Tomorrow at school Adam better not talk to me or even think about talking to me." Clare sat there in silence as Annabelle pulled out her cell and began a text to Adam. 'Clare told me about Julia and Eli and all I can say is that me and you are no longer friends. Don't talk to me or even think about talking to me.' Annabelle hit the send button before turning to Clare. "Do you mind if I just have some alone time Clare?" Annabelle looked over at Clare. "I'll see you tomorrow as school." Annabelle responded with a nod before feeling more tears come out of her eyes.
