A/N: Twenty five chapters already? I love writing this story(: Please review and I'll keep writing. Also, I want to thank the reviewers on the last chapter(:

Annabelle and Adam sat down at a table far away from Clare and Eli. This was weird, he didn't want to sit with his two best friends.

"So what's there to talk about?" Annabelle said as she took a bite out of her apple.

"I'm sorry about what I said when I saw you with K.C." Adam let out a sigh.

Annabelle didn't know if just an apology would heal that wound. "I'm not going to say it's okay Adam. That hurt me so much." She said honestly.

"I hate that." He paused as he looked into Annabelle's eyes. "I hate that I hurt you."

"Let's not talk about it." Annabelle said quickly trying to change the subject. "I should be going to the library." She grabbed her stuff and walked back into the school. She didn't want to be around him and she definitely didn't want to talk about the bad things that had happened. She found a table in the library and sat down by herself. She didn't really NEED to be here but she wanted to be. K.C. walked into the library about five minutes later and joined Annabelle.

"Hey." He said quietly as the sat next to her.

"Hey." She replied not really paying attention.

"Spending lunch in the library?" He asked her.

Annabelle took in a deep breath and then replied, "I was sitting with Adam and I really just wanted to get away."

"What'd he do?" K.C. looked at her with a concerned look.

"Just brought up stuff I didn't want to talk about. The thing is I want to be his friend, but I'm not sure if it's possible." She was happy she could talk to someone other than Clare about the problems she's been having with Adam.

"Just give it time, if things are meant to happen they will." K.C. said reassuring her.

"Thanks K.C." She smiled at him before pulling him into a friendly hug. The bell rang and they waved goodbye to each other. K.C. was slowly becoming her good friend and she was happy about it.

The rest of the day was uneventful. She really didn't know anyone in the rest of her classes except for Drew Torres, but after what happened between her and Adam he didn't like her that much. She walked home slowly that day not really happy about going home to an empty house. Oddly enough she missed her aunt when she wasn't there, but her uncle she didn't care that much about. She locked the door behind her and fell down on the couch. She had so much on her mind that it was insane. She pulled out her cell and typed a text message to Clare.

'Come over?' She hit the send button and waited patiently for a reply. After about ten minutes she still hadn't received a reply. Must be with Eli, Annabelle thought to herself as she slid the phone back into her pocket. She was annoyed. How could Clare call herself a friend if she ignored her text messages? She turned on the television and began to flip through channels. How is it possible that everything sucks today, she thought.

*Beepppp* She heard loudly from her pocket. She hurried and pulled the phone from her pocket hoping to find a reply from Clare. 'New message from K.C.' was across the screen. She sighed loudly before hitting the button to view it. 'Is it cool if I come over?' She smiled and quickly text back telling him it was fine. Well, atleast someone is there when I need them. She waited about ten minutes until the doorbell rang.

"Come in!" She yelled from the kitchen. K.C. walked inside the house and straight into the kitchen.

"Hey!" He said as he sat on the stool in front of the cabinet.

"Hey." She said not enthusiastically.

"Something still wrong?" He asked her sincerely.

"Well let's see, Clare is supposedly my friend, but when I need her she decides to ignore my text messages." She was really annoyed but she was trying to not appear angry.

"She must be with that kid." K.C. said weirdly.

"You mean Eli? I'm sure she is." Annabelle let out a loud sigh.

"Well, I'm here for you, Annabelle." He smiled at her.

"Thanks K.C." Annabelle smiled back him. "Want to go outside?" She said referring to the gorgeous day outside. He nodded his head and Annabelle led him out the back door.

"So why'd you want to come over?" She asked curiously.

"I needed a real conversation instead of the mindless ones the football players have." He said honestly.

"If you don't like them then why hang out with them?" She asked.

"It's not that I don't like them, it's just sometimes I need to get away from them." He looked around the backyard and away from Annabelle's eyes.

She nodded her head, "Oh I understand."

K.C. stood up and pulled out his cell phone, "I'd better get home before mom gets worried."

Annabelle stood up next to him and nodded her head. "I'll see you tomorrow K.C." He returned the nod and hug her gently before walking around the house and disappearing from Annabelle's view. When K.C. reached the front of the house he noticed Adam standing on the front porch in front of the door.

"Dude, she's in the back." He said as he walked down the sidewalk in front of the house. Adam nodded his head and descended the stairs and walked around the house. Annabelle was laying back on the grass with her eyes closed just thinking to herself.

"Hey." He said loudly.

Annabelle jumped up quickly as her heart started beating quickly. "Don't you EVER do that again." She ran her hands through her hair before shaking her head angrily.

"I didn't mean to scare you." He said with a laugh.

"And something makes me think that's a lie." She rolled her eyes and returned to her previous spot on the ground. She turned to him and patted the spot next to her and waited for him to come over to her.

"So K.C. was here?" He asked her wondering if she'd be honest with him.

"Yeah. I'm happy he came over. I was going crazy and Clare decided to ignore my message." She said with an aggravated tone.

"She's with Eli." He said simply to her.

"I figured. I mean they're cute but to be honest kind of obnoxious." She told him honestly.

"I know. Trust me I know." He agreed with her.

"Sorry about earlier at lunch I just didn't want to talk about all that stuff." She bit her lip roughly as she looked into his green eyes.

"Don't worry about it, Annabelle." He replied. Annabelle felt chills run down her back when her name left his lips. She'd missed hearing his voice, but she didn't want him to know that. She wanted him to know what getting her back wouldn't be an easy task.

"I'm really sorry though." She said honestly.

"Look, it's fine." He said looking back into her eyes. He took in a deep breath and inched closer to her. She felt herself giving in to those eyes, but soon regained her composure and pushed him away from her.

"Stop it." She said as she stood and walked away from him. "I'm not going to just give into you, Adam." She said with tears in her eyes. She wasn't sad, but angry at herself.

"I'm sorry." He said as he reached his feet and walked over to her.

She looked at him, "Leave, now." He looked at her and then walked to the corner of the house before turning back to her.

"Bye Annabelle." He said before dropping head and walking away from her.

When Adam was out of her view she instantly fell back to the ground. She wanted to kiss him, but she also knew she wanted him to know that this time it was going to be hard.

After twenty minutes of sitting in the same position she moved and pulled out her cell to type a simple message to Adam.

'I just need time, Adam.' She hit the send button before falling back onto the grass.
