Thanks a lot for the reviews :) Specially to Jessie and McSteph.

Enjoy and review.

I was extremely glad to see that, even if Abrianna was silent most the time, interest and fascination filled her eyes. She would tell us when something didn't sound good from time to time, though she was rather shy at the beginning, afraid to make one of my mates angry. I couldn't help smiling the whole time, I adored the way she made me feel and how easy it was to feel that way, how easy it was for me to be happy around her.

She would blush when she saw me looking at her, an image I tried to process and keep in my brain, I never wanted to forget the way she looked when she blushed. But, if I had to be honest, the reason to why she blushed confused me; why would she blushed if I was only staring at her? I wondered for a moment if it bothered her, but she didn't look annoyed.

We ate lunch in the studio, as we usually did. She didn't seem to mind that we spent the whole day there. Danny kept his word and behaved normally around her, but of course he was funny and charming as usual, that was the usual him, so even if he didn't try, my cousin would probably fall for him, as loads of girls did... But, like she'd said, she didn't look interesting in him. She did talk to him and smile when he said something funny, but things didn't seem to go beyond that. I was glad!

She seemed to get on well with my friends and I saw how happy it made her to feel that she fitted in with these people, I knew that feeling, it'd happened to me too when I joined the band years ago. She felt comfortable, I could see it.

"Do you play, Anna?" Harry asked her. I looked up at her; she was staring at me. She quickly looked at Harry.

"Well, I learned a little bit..." she said.

"Really?" I said surprised.

"Yes" she said, blushing again as she stared at me again "I thought I could show you once I came back, but I forgot about that"

"Play something for us" Danny said eagerly.

She hesitated, her cheeks growing redder and redder. Danny gave her an acoustic guitar and she sighed as she took it, unwillingly.

"Do I really have to do this?" she mumbled, ashamed, probably for the first time on her life. It was weird to see her like this, she's always been so secure of herself, or at least that was the way she pretended to look... But I liked her like this too.

"You were planning to do it anyway" I said.

"I guess you're right" she mumbled "Well, this song is called The Only Exception" she said without looking at any of us, her eyes fixed on the floor. [a/n: brilliant song, very sweet, it's from Paramore, check it out if you don't know it, even if you don't like the band]

We all waited patiently, she looked at me once more, silently begging me not to make her do this, but I smiled at her encouragingly and she looked away again.

The melody was soft, the rhythm wasn't fast, it sounded sweet. I paid attention to all the words she sang, I'd never realized her voice was so lovely, she could really sing. She looked up at me, to see my expression, from time to time, and she never stopped blushing when our eyes met. There was something in her eyes, some king of honesty when she looked at me, she meant what she sang, even it she hadn't written this song... Some prhases caught my attention more than others, those in which she seem to be about to get lost in thoughts. For example, when she looked away from me and sang 'and we've got to find other ways to make it alone'. She knew all about loneliness... Then when she sang 'I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness because none of it was ever worth the risk' she looked at me for a moment, then looked away quickly, that same sorrow I'd seen before in her eyes. She seemed sad, king of frustrated, when she sang 'I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't let go of what's in front of me here'. Then finally, when the song was almost ending, she raised her head and looked at me, a bit more sure of herself, and smiled as she repeated the chorus; 'You are the only exception'. By that time, I was lost in thoughts, hypnotized by her sweetness. I'd never noticed how beautiful she was, not like this.

But the claps of my friends threw me back into reality, and I smiled at her.

"You're good" I said, smiling, a weird feeling inside my chest, a warm feeling.

"Not as you as you guys are" she said, blushing again.

After walking back home, Ann went straight to our bed, she seemed tired. I followed her, of course. She waited for me to lay down first, then gently laid her head in my chest. She was smiling at me, this time I think I blushed, though I didn't know why exactly.

"You look cute when you blush" she said, giggling a little bit. Another warm feeling ran down my chest at the sound of her laugh.

"So do you" I said.

We stayed in silence for a while, I stared at her calm face for a long time. I felt my body warm, impatience running through my veins. Something felt wrong, yet I was feeling so good.

"What?" she said as she blushed when she saw me staring.

"You look beautiful" I said without thinking, then blushed when I realized what I'd just said. That was happening a lot today, the blushing thing.

"Thanks" she said "You are beautiful"

I smiled; I didn't know she thought that about me.

She suddenly raised her head from my chest and hesitated as she looked straight into my eyes.

"Do you want to know my secret?" she said. She didn't seem sure of what she was doing and I suddenly wasn't sure if I wanted to know. Anna looked as if she was about to drop the subjet and run out the room and.

"I do" I said.

She bit her lip "I love you"

"I love you too" I said without thinking, naturally.

"No, I love you, Dougie... That's why I took the drugs... I was desperate, sad, I knew that you would never feel this way about me, I was hopeless, and I'm still am" she was talking quickly so I wouldn't interrup her, my heartbeat sped up with every word she spoke "And I'll leave right now if that's what you want, but this needed to be said. I've never believed in love, but you are the only exception, you're my perfect love song. I love you and I always will, even if you hate me for-"

I jumped over her without thinking, before she could say anything else, pressing my lips tightly against hers. She didn't expect it at all, but soon put her arms around my neck and kissed me back. It felt so good, so right, but at the same moment, it was completely wrong in every possible way...

... But, for a moment, I didn't care. For a moment, I forgot about what was wrong and what was right and gave myself in to what felt good, to her.

For a moment, I forgot I was engaged, I forgot I was getting married soon.
