"Why didn't you tell us about Amelia?" Jeff asked me. I stayed silent; I didn't want to answer. I stepped away from him and turned to stare down the stairs. I kept it a secret because I didn't want to believe it myself. Jeff turned me back towards him and lifted my face to look at him. He looked as sad as I felt and pulled me into another hug.

"Why, Annie, why? Did you think we would abandon you?" He pulled back and held my face in his hands. His eyes stared into my own and I felt the walls begin to crumble. The walls of my soul that allowed me to restrain from revealing my feelings to him. I closed my eyes and simply leaned into his hands. Perhaps it's time to let the walls fall…

"I really didn't want to believe it, so I didn't tell anyone."

"Except Shawn." How did he know I told Shawn? He saw my confusion and explained.

"You always tell Shawn." He told me. We sat down and he pulled me into his chest. I wrapped my arms around him and he did the same, humming another song. It sounded like my entrance theme, which I found comforting.

"Woah! If you guys wanted time alone, all you had to do was ask! You didn't have to do it on the stairs!" Dave yelled from above us.

"Dave…" I started slowly, getting up. I looked up towards him and Matt, who was laughing. They were two floors above us, looking over the railing.

"You're in trouble now!" Matt told Dave laughing. I ran up the stairs, ignoring the pain in my body. I caught up to them and forced Dave into a headlock. Matt was laughing at us until Jeff came up behind him and forced him into a headlock as well. We were winning until Dave lifted me off the floor. He began to tickle me until I let go of him. He caught me before I hit the floor and acted like he was going to Batista Bomb me. I tickled him and he let me drop to the floor. I landed on my back and was laughing uncontrollably. I didn't notice the pain and soon everyone joined the laughter, which I was glad for.

I had a feeling things were going to get worse real fast.

A/N: I'm sorry for the long wait! Exams were coming and I was sure I was going to fail one of them, so I studied as much as I could. I wasn't able to get on the computer much, so here's a chapter. Sorry it's short; it was a perfect place to stop, so I did. I'm already working on the next one!

Read and Review please!
