I really hope you all are enjoying this.
"hey, you're back, how was LA?" Jamie said coming into the dorm room
"amazing" Annabelle smiled thinking about everything
"did you run into your ex?"
"of course, I did, she even sent me some horrid texts and called leaving a message apologizing"
"are you getting back together with her?"
"oh, hell no" her thoughts went to Catherine and the declaration that was made, of course, she couldn't tell Jamie "it's done, she's seeing some Hollywood bimbo"
"bimbo huh?" Jamie chuckled, as Annabelle smiled "well I'm glad your back"
"I am too, but I gotta run, got some shit to take care of"
"you're going to Stark's, aren't you?" Annabelle froze in the door way. "who's saying that?"
"the rumors, Anna, they're all over" Jamie said softly "now I personally don't care, but everyone else seems to."
"well it's none of anyone's business who I'm sleeping with, if I'm sleeping with anyone"
"they keep asking me if I know anything, I've tried throwing them off the scent, but you know how people are" Annabelle looked at her "I just don't want to see anyone get hurt"
"thanks Jamie" Annabelle said as she made her way out the door.
"hi" Catherine smiled as Annabelle walked through the door, she was happy to see her but seeing the look on Annabelle's face she knew something was wrong "Belle, what's wrong?"
"um" Annabelle said sitting down on the couch, "we need to talk"
"ok" Catherine replied sitting down next to her "what's up"
"we need to talk about what's going to happen if we get caught"
"like I told your friends, we'll deal with it when, or if it happens"
"Catherine, I've been through all this before, I love you, there is no doubt about that, but I don't want to see you lose everything you've worked so hard for"
Taking a deep breath "I know where you are coming from. The talk with Collins and Kristen got me thinking too, but"
Annabelle cut her off "it's not what Collins and Kristen said, it's what people here are saying"
"who's telling you this"
"my roommate Jamie"
"Jamie Johnson" Catherine said quietly, she had her in class last semester, she was a quiet girl but apparently liked to run her mouth.
"she keeps asking me if it's true, I keep giving her the run around, but, one day something is going to slip"
"Belle, let's just deal with it when it happens, and not now, don't ruin what we had the last 2 weeks, it was amazing" Catherine said putting her hands-on Annabelle's cheeks and placing a kiss on her lips. Annabelle smiled, she still wasn't convinced that everything would be ok, but she decided to listen to Catherine and deal with it when it happens. "now come on dinner is almost ready" Annabelle smiled and followed Catherine into the kitchen.
"well I'm going to head out" Annabelle said after the movie they were watching was over.
"why, I thought you were going to stay here?"
"I have some work to do"
"Annabelle, the semester doesn't start until Monday"
"I know but" Annabelle sighed
"what's really going on?"
"nothing, I swear"
"Annabelle" Catherine said in her stern professor voice
"I just need to go" she kissed her "I'll be over tomorrow"
"fine" Catherine sighed "I love you"
"I love you too" Annabelle said as she closed the door. Instead of going back to her dorm she took a walk around campus, it was cold so not many people were out. Thinking about their time in LA with her family. She sighed, as it started snowing "thanks" she said looking up at the sky, shaking her head and headed towards her dorm. Lying in bed alone that night, Annabelle's mind began to wander, she missed Catherine, this was the first night in almost a month that they'd been apart. Sighing deeply, she rolled over looking at the clock, it wasn't even midnight yet. She decided to go to Catherine's, she needed to be with her, no matter what everyone else thought. With her mind made up she threw on her boots and coat and headed out the door. The snow had picked up in intensity, leaving about a half an inch in the last hour. Walking up the walk at Catherine's she saw there were no lights on, reaching for her phone, she looked at the time again. 12:45 am she went to the door and rang the bell. After what seemed like forever Catherine finally came to the door "Belle, what" Annabelle cut her off as she grabbed her pushing her back, kissing her "I'm sorry I left, but I'm here now" taking Catherine by surprise, she almost lost her balance. "I'm sorry" Annabelle kept saying
"what are you sorry for?" Catherine pulled back looking in Annabelle's eyes
"the rumors, I don't want you to lose your job, just like"
"like Simone did" Catherine pulled her in "Belle, I'm not Simone, you aren't in high school this is college" Annabelle smiled letting that be enough, leaning into Catherine "come on, let's go to bed" they crawled into bed, Annabelle laid her head upon Catherine's chest. The sound of Catherine's beating heart soothing her, making all her worries of the last few hours disappear.
The next few weeks flew by, as school started back up and they got into a routine, with Annabelle's schedule, which had her taking classes that were spread out throughout the day, didn't leave much time, for Catherine. It was coming up on the end of February, the semester flying by. Annabelle hadn't been to Catherine's all week, and Catherine was getting nervous.
Hey Belle, how about dinner tonight? My house at 6? ~C
Annabelle read the text and was about to reply when Jamie came in. "hey a bunch of us are going out for pizza and bowling tonight, you want to come?"
"um" Annabelle said looking at her phone
"I mean unless you're going to be hanging out with Stark" Annabelle looked down at her phone
"no, I'm not hanging out with Professor Stark, I've told you before I'm not sleeping with her" wasn't a total lie, they hadn't slept together in almost 2 weeks.
"ok good, be ready by 5" Jamie said grabbing her bathroom bag and towel heading towards the bathroom.
Looking down at her phone, which was on her lap she sent Catherine a text
Sorry can't tonight ~A not giving her anymore insight as to why she wasn't able to. Annabelle set her phone down and began getting ready.
Catherine heard her phone vibrate on her desk as she reached for it she smiled seeing Annabelle's name, but that smile soon left when she read the text. Sighing deeply, she didn't understand what was going on. Annabelle hadn't been over in almost 2 weeks, she missed her. Looking out the window in her office she saw some students leave the dorm, on closer examination she noticed one of them were Annabelle. She picked up her phone, with Annabelle still in sight she called her, she saw Annabelle reach for her phone, silence it and put it back in her pocket. This didn't sit right with Catherine. She had to know why Annabelle was blowing her off, "she said she loved me" Catherine said out loud as she sat on the couch in her living room "I just don't understand". The weekend went by with Catherine still wondering why Annabelle wasn't returning her calls or text. On Monday morning she was furious, she couldn't take it anymore. At lunch time she, was walking through campus, and saw Annabelle with some other girls, laughing, she felt her stomach churn. 'how could she be so happy?' she made her way over to the group of girls as they started to disperse one by one leaving Annabelle alone at the table. Catherine saw this as her chance, she walked up "hey stranger"
Annabelle stiffen hearing Catherine's voice "h, hi" she stammered out.
"how are you?"
"fine" Annabelle said looking down, not wanting to make eye contact with Catherine
"just fine huh?" Annabelle nodded "why haven't' you been returning my calls?"
"Catherine we're on campus" Annabelle said softly
"I don't care Annabelle, I thought I meant more to you than this"
"you do"
"then why stay away?"
"I've been busy?"
"busy? Going out with your friends?"
"so I'm not supposed to have a life outside of us?"
"that's not what I'm saying"
"what are you saying then?" Annabelle stood up looking Catherine in the eye
"nothing never mind, can you come over later?"
"no I'm busy" Annabelle said reaching for her bag and walking away, without looking back. Catherine stood there pondering what had just happened. When she heard the bell in the distance bringing her out of her thoughts. Shaking her head, she headed home, she needed a drink.
As Annabelle turned the corner she stopped and looked back at Catherine, who's back was toward her. Fighting back the tears she turned around and almost ran to her dorm. Almost knocking over Jamie on the way through the door. "Annabelle what's wrong?"
"nothing, I, I just need to be alone for a while"
"ok I'm heading out, but if you need me, call please"
"Jamie" Annabelle said looking at her "I said I was fine"
"woo, ok, I'll catch you later" Annabelle just turned around and slammed the door. She felt horrible for about how she treated Catherine, she really did love her, but she didn't want to ruin yet another teacher's life. Burying her head in her pillow, the flood gates opened.
Over the next few weeks Annabelle stayed to herself, when she saw Catherine, she'd turn and walk the other way, it was killing her not to run into her arms, and tell her she loved her, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. Until one day she didn't see Catherine come up behind her "Annabelle we need to talk" Annabelle stiffened at hearing her voice
"Catherine we're on campus"
"I don't give a fuck where we are" she said pulling Annabelle into an empty room
"Catherine, I have to go"
"no, Annabelle I deserve some answers, and you're not leaving here until I get them"
"fine, what is it you want answers to" Annabelle said looking down making sure not to make eye contact with her knowing if she did she'd start crying again.
"why have you been so distant lately? You haven't been over since the beginning of February"
"I've been busy"
"Annabelle that's bullshit, I've seen you out with your friends, if you can even call those people your friends" Annabelle lifted her head to look Catherine in the eye shaking her head she turned and left. "Annabelle" Catherine called after her, but she just kept walking. Again, fighting back, the tears. Feeling her phone vibrate in her pocket, she pulled it out seeing it was Collins she answered covering the fact that she was upset as best she could "hey col, what's up"
"Anna, what's wrong" Collins saw right through it
"nothing why?"
"I think I know when you're lying I can hear it in your voice, did you and Catherine have a fight"
"something like that"
"you're on campus, aren't you?"
"I am, I'm headed back to my room"
"then you'll tell me what's up?"
"yes" Annabelle said as she made her way across campus making small talk with Collins on the phone
"alright I heard the door shut now spill it"
"there's a ton of rumors going around about me and Catherine"
"so?"
"I don't, I can't get another teacher fired Collins, I just can't ruin Catherine's life like I ruined Simone"
"oh honey, you didn't ruin Simone's life, she did, she was careless with her actions, besides Anna, Catherine isn't Simone, she's better, now get your head out of your ass and go talk to her, I can't imagine what she must be going through"
"we just got into a fight"
"why"
"she wanted answers and I can't give them to her yet"
"oh my god, you dumb girl, get your ass off the phone and go find her, tell her why you've been keeping your distance she'll understand"
"Collins it's not that easy"
"sure it is, I saw the way you two looked at each other, Anna she loves you and you love her"
"I know I do it's just"
"no, remember when we asked what would happen if someone found out?"
"yeah"
"she said she'd deal with it when or if it happens, so get off your ass, dry your tears, and go find that sexy ass teacher and tell her you love her"
"Collins"
"no Annabelle I'm hanging up now, and the next time I talk to you, you better tell me, you and Catherine are back to being all disgustingly happy again, or I'll fly out there and kick your ass" Annabelle laughed at the last part.
"when did you get so violent?"
"I don't know it just came out, but seriously go find her, if you don't do it for yourself do it for her. She at least deserves and explanation"
"I know she does" Annabelle was quiet
"ok I'm going to go now, I'll call you back tomorrow, go talk to her"
"I will" Annabelle said softly as the phone went dead. Looking around she noticed it had gotten dark. Glancing at the clock, she grabbed her coat and ran out the door.
Catherine stood in the empty room, fighting back the tears. She didn't understand why Annabelle was acting this way. Taking a deep breath, she headed to her office to pack up her stuff and headed home. By the time she got home, it was dark, walking to the front door she saw a figure sitting on the steps. The person stood as she approached "what do you want?"
"you said you deserved an explanation, so I'm here to give you it"
"ok" Catherine said noticing a package in front of the door she bent down to pick it up as she opened the door, walking through it leaving it open for Annabelle, setting the package on the table by the door. "speak"
"I'm not a dog"
"you said you were here to talk so talk"
Taking a deep breath, "look, I'm sorry for the way I've been acting, you don't deserve it, nobody does. It's just" she paused
"it's just what Annabelle" Catherine could feel herself get angrier by each passing second.
"the rumors, they're getting bad"
"so now you're ashamed to be with me"
"no, not at all" Annabelle reached for her hand as she pulled it away
"then what is it?"
"I don't want you to lose your job over me"
"isn't that for me to decide?"
"I, I can't have another teacher losing their job over me"
"Annabelle" Catherine said tossing her brief case on the table "I've said before that we'll figure that out when it happens"
"I know, but I got to thinking about Simone and how I fucked up her life"
"woo back up, first off Simone is a dumb bitch, and deserved what she got out of the that"
"Catherine" Annabelle scolded
"I'm sorry but that's how I feel"
"I know" Annabelle said looking down at the table "what's the package?"
"I don't know I didn't look at it"
"what did you order?"
"nothing" Catherine looked at her and reached for the package, ripping it open as Annabelle looked over her shoulder "oh my god" they both said, it was pictures of them together on the beach. "who would have"
"Simone" Annabelle whispered
"you think she'd do something like this"
"think of the texts she sent me"
"right" Catherine sighed
"what are we going to do?"
"hope that we are the only ones who she sent them too" Catherine said sitting down on the couch
"maybe we could go talk to Haacht, and tell him before this gets out of hand"
"Annabelle that's not going to work" Catherine said not taking her eyes off the pictures
"it's going to be ok"
"is it?" Catherine looked up "you're the one who has been freaking out for the last month over nothing, and now we have something to freak out about you're calm?"
"Catherine"
"I need some time" she put her hand to her forehead "to figure this out"
"Catherine, I love you" Annabelle whispered
"I love you too" she reached for her hand as she came around and sat on the couch next to her. "stay with me tonight"
"I was hoping you'd say that" Annabelle leaned in and kissed her then leaned her head on Catherine's shoulder. "we'll figure this out, do you want me to call her?"
"no, I don't want anything to do with her"
"I could have Collins go talk to her"
"no Annabelle, we aren't going to retaliate, or give her the satisfaction of knowing she's hurting us with this"
"ok" Annabelle said
"I knew I would get caught someday; I just didn't think it'd be now"
"I feel like this is my fault"
"no, it's not" Catherine looked up at her "let's just go to bed, we'll deal with this in the morning" Catherine said standing up. Annabelle looked at her gave her a sad smile and followed her lead. Annabelle wasn't sure what was going to happen they hadn't been together in over a month, so she changed and climbed into bed, as Catherine crawled in, she moved over laying her head upon her chest. "I missed you" she whispered
"I missed you too, Catherine, that was as hard for me as it was for you"
"then why'd you, do it?"
"I told you, I don't want you to lose everything you've worked so hard for, if the wrong person finds out about us" Catherine silenced her with a kiss. Then said, "ok enough talking, we have over a month of sex to make up on, so shut up, and fuck me"
"fuck you?" Annabelle giggled
"yes, fuck me" Catherine said looking in her eyes as Annabelle flipped them over, and kissed Catherine, hard, pinning her to the bed, as she ripped her own shirt off tossing it to the floor. Catherine's hand went right to her breast "god I missed you, Belle" as she said it she had to fight back tears. Annabelle pulled back looking in her eyes, she saw them glistening. "god Catherine, I'm so sorry" she went in for another kiss. As Catherine flipped them over and got rid of her own clothes. "fuck, fucking, make love to me" she said going in again.
The next morning Catherine awoke alone, hoping against all odds Annabelle didn't take off in the middle of the night, her fears were calmed when she smelled coffee. With a smile upon her face she went to climb out of bed, laughing at the fact that certain muscles hurt. "that's what happens when you don't have sex for over a month" she whispered as she grabbed her robe and headed downstairs. She found Annabelle sitting on the deck having a cigarette. She must have saw something out of the corner of her eye she turned and when she saw Catherine she smiled. Catherine opened the door and joined her, it was surprisingly nice out for early spring, Annabelle moved so she could sit on her lap "I hope I didn't wake you" Annabelle whispered as she kissed Catherine's cheek
"no, you not being in bed woke me" Catherine laid her head upon Annabelle's chest.
"sorry" Annabelle whispered. "I'm almost done then we can go in"
"did you want me to make breakfast?"
"um" Annabelle said wondering what time it was, but suddenly she didn't care, it was Saturday. "that sounds amazing" Catherine placed a kiss on her cheek and got up, turning around holding out her hand to help Annabelle up. "I do have some work I need to get done sometime this weekend"
"so, do I" Catherine said as her eyes caught the pictures. Annabelle noticed her movements stop, walking up behind her, Annabelle wrapped her arms around her whispering "it'll be alright"
"Annabelle" Catherine said getting out of her grip "as much as I want to believe you, I just can't"
"I can't believe Simone would do this"
"I can, she was pretty upset when she saw you with me"
"but to be this conniving?"
"when people are upset, they do things out of spite, just to hurt the person they are upset at. You hurt her, and seeing you with me"
"right I get it" Annabelle looked down "why doesn't she realize she hurt me too"
Catherine felt the green monster wake up in her stomach "some people, all they care about are themselves, and don't care about what they do to others" she thought about herself in that moment she'd done that, with the other students she'd been with.
"well I should probably get going" Annabelle said looking at the clock it was almost noon and she had some work she needed to get done.
"yeah" Catherine said quietly
"Catherine" Annabelle said quietly, Catherine looked up "are we ok?" she smiled "yes Belle, we're ok"
"ok" leaning in giving her a kiss "I love you, I'll call you later"
"I love you too Belle" Catherine said as she watched Annabelle leave "I love you too" she sighed, picking up the pictures. "is she worth losing everything over?" she put the pictures down and went to her home office to grade some papers. Not being able to concentrate, she kept over analyzing everything. The way Annabelle had been distant the last month, then the pictures showing up. Was she sure it was Simone who sent them? Grabbing them again she looked at the surroundings, they were at the beach on the boardwalk, "it had to be Simone, this was right after I flipped out and Annabelle told me she loves me" Catherine sighed she needed some time to get her head straight.
"hey dork" Annabelle said into the phone
"well someone sounds in a better mood; did you take my advice and go talk to her?" Collins asked
"I did" Annabelle smiled
"so everything is good?"
"well, I'm not sure, you see, she got a package in the mail yesterday"
"ok?" Collins said confused "what was it?"
"someone, I'm assuming it was Simone, took pictures of us at the beach, and sent them to her"
"so now she's freaking out about being caught"
"I think so, she hasn't said, but she never really does when something is bothering her, I usually have to pry it out of her" Annabelle said sitting down on her bed "I'm going to let her over analyze it tonight, and make her talk more tomorrow"
"you think Simone would do something like that?"
"I'd like to think no, but then the texts she sent me after seeing us, I wouldn't put it past her"
"right" Collins said, "I'll take care of it"
"Collins no, just let it go"
"no Annabelle, she keeps hurting you"
"yeah me, not you"
"if she ruins this thing with Catherine for you, I swear I'll"
"stop"
"no, I'm serious Annabelle, you and Catherine are perfect for each other, why can't she just leave you alone"
"because, it's my fault she lost everything" Annabelle whispered into the phone
"we are not going there again, and I've said all I have to say about that"
"but Collins that's"
"no Annabelle stop, stop thinking like that and stop feeling like you don't deserve to be happy, I saw how Catherine looked at you, she loves you more than Simone ever did, you forget I saw everything play out with you and her"
"right" Annabelle sighed
"just give Catherine some time she'll be fine" Collins said
"I hope so" Annabelle said looking around her room "I should go I have an ass ton of work to do before Monday"
"ok, call me later if you want"
"sounds good" Annabelle said hanging up the phone. Looking down at it, she flipped through the contacts and landed on Simone's name. Taking a deep breath, she hit the call button. It rang a bunch of times then went to voicemail, Annabelle sighed in relief she didn't really want to talk to her, so she hung up without leaving a message. Deciding to put everything out of her head she reached for her bag to start on her schoolwork. Looking up a few hours later, she noticed it was getting dark, she reached for her phone deciding to call Catherine. It rang, and rang, only to have the voicemail pick up. "hey beautiful, I told you I'd call you later, so well, yeah. I love you, call me when you get this" she hung up, and went back to her work.
Catherine saw her phone vibrating on her desk, seeing it was Annabelle she had to fight the urge to not answer it, she needed some space right now, to think. Did Annabelle send those pictures to her? "no she couldn't have, she's the one freaking out about me losing my job if it ever got out" sighing she looked at her phone and the missed call, she noticed the voice mail as she checked it she heard Annabelle's voice, almost bringing tears to her eyes, she wanted to talk to her, but she needed to get her head straight before she did, not wanting to leave her hanging she sent her a text.
Sorry I missed your call, I was busy. I just need some time to get my head straight I love you don't forget that. ~C
Annabelle read the text and sighed, they had just wasted a month with her being selfish. How could she do that knowing how Catherine felt about her. Looking around her room she saw her guitar. Determined to write Catherine a song, she picked up her guitar and set to work. Nothing coming to mind, she grabbed her iPod and started going through her playlist, deciding if she couldn't write something she'd pick a song and play it for her. Sighing deeply when she couldn't find the perfect song, tossed her iPod on the bed, picking up her guitar again. Suddenly it clicked she grabbed her laptop and quickly typed the song into the search engine looking for the words and cords to play it. "got it" she smiled "I hope she likes it"
"hope who likes what?" Jamie asked coming in the room
"ah my English teacher likes my paper" Annabelle lied. As she hit print and got up to gather the pages she just printed.
Catherine laid in bed that night staring at the ceiling, her heart breaking, she missed Annabelle so much, but was she worth losing everything for? 'If Simone sent those pictures to Haacht she'd be screwed. Simone thought she was worth losing everything over, and she literally lost everything. I'd only be losing my job, a job I'm so damn good at, a job I love' "but I love Annabelle more" she said out loud "now I just have to tell her that" she smiled as she rolled over reaching for her phone, before she could send a text or call she heard something outside her window. "what the fuck is that?" she got up and looked out the window, seeing Annabelle standing in her yard with her guitar in hand. Her voice rang out through the early spring air, Catherine made her way down the stairs to the front door, as Annabelle met her on the porch, singing.
You're the air that I breathe
The sun when it breaks through the clouds
You're all that I need
But I know that you're having some doubts
I'm down on my knees
I pray you'll stick this out
Beggin' you please girl
I'm sorry I let you down
I'm broken like a promise
I'm shattered like a dream
I'm broken with all my pieces scattered 'round for you to see
I'm broken like record
I sing the same old song
I'm broken like the heart of a man that's run away from love too long
Girl what about you
What about you girl
It's so hard to speak
I can barely look you in the eye
It's so hard to breathe
I know I ain't afraid to die
Your breath is so sweet
Your kisses could get me high
My heart is so weak
But your loving could get me by
I'm broken like a promise
I'm shattered like a dream
I'm broken with all my pieces scattered 'round for you to see
I'm broken like record
I sing the same old song
I'm broken like the heart of a man that's run away from love too long
Girl what about you
What about you girl
I'm broken like a promise
I'm shattered like a dream
I'm broken with all my pieces scattered 'round for you to see
I'm broken like record
I sing the same old song
I'm broken like the heart of a man that's run away from love too long
Girl what about you
What about you girl
Girl what about you
What about you girl
Girl what about you
Catherine had tears rolling down her face, as Annabelle finished, she reached up, wiping the tears off Catherine's face. "come in" Catherine managed to get out, once the door was closed Annabelle set her guitar down as Catherine took her in her arms. "Annabelle, I"
"I'm sorry, I know you said you wanted space, but I just can't stay away from you. There's just something about you I can't let go of"
"Annabelle, I've been doing a lot of thinking, and what I came up with is, I love you, and you're worth it, you're so worth it" Catherine said crashing into her, pushing her back against the wall. All the while thinking 'I love you, I love you, I love you' Annabelle pushed her back. "let's go to bed, it's late, and we've both had a rough day" she pulled her up the stairs to the bedroom. Ripping off each other's clothes as they fell to the bed in a sweaty mess, of hard breathing and kisses.
Annabelle awoke with Catherine draped over her, smiling to herself knowing this was where she belonged, in Catherine's bed, with Catherine wrapped around her. Trying not to move too much, the urge to use the bathroom taking over, she gracefully slid herself out from Catherine's octopus style hold she had on her. Making it to the bathroom just in time, she breathes a sigh of relief. Making her way back to the bed, she stopped to look at Catherine 'my god she's gorgeous and she's mine' she smiled as she climbed back into bed. Moving back under Catherine's grip as best she could, she felt Catherine stir and was met with brown eyes. "hi"
"hi" Catherine said groggily as Annabelle leaned over kissing her. Catherine turned on her back. Sighing "I'm going to turn in my resignation"
"Catherine"
"I made up my mind, besides I don't need to work"
"but you love your job"
"I do" she turned to look at Annabelle "but I love you more"
"maybe we can both go talk to Haacht, maybe if I don't take your class"
"Annabelle let's be realistic here. He may go for that, but that's only because he's a friend of my family, I don't want any special treatment" Catherine said, "yes we could both go to him, we'll explain what's going on, and I'll give my notice for the end of the year" Annabelle knew enough not to say anymore. "and then, you'll move in here" Annabelle smiled "I mean, unless you're going back to LA"
"I actually hadn't thought that far ahead, but moving in here sounds like an amazing idea"
"and we'll live happily ever after" Catherine laughed
"if only it were that easy" Annabelle sighed as panic set in Catherine felt her tense
"what's wrong?"
"I could get in trouble too, what if they kick me out of school?"
"guess we were more worried about me, we never thought about you" Catherine looked at her.
"it'll be ok" Annabelle said, "it'll all work out" all the sudden the image of Simone standing in her room after Immaculata told her she wanted to see her in her office, popped into her head. Shaking her head, she looked at Catherine, "there are other schools" she smiled. As Catherine laid her head upon her chest. They laid there enjoying the moment knowing their lives were about to change.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter, I'm bad at writing drama, I always end up with them getting back together and being all lovey dovey... anyway the song in this chapter was Broken by Everlast. Thanks again :)
