Anyways, I'm seriously getting down in the dumps here guys... only 2 reviews? C'mon, my story doesnt suck THAT much does it? Even if it does, cant you review and tell me how much it sucks? Geesh is that too much to ask? Thanks to Careysgurl637 too for the help re-reading my crappy little story and telling me what to fix :)
Ack! Did anyone else see the commercial for Erik Von Detton Day on Disney? Ahh I have to miss it- stupid vacation flight! Poops! Ok I'm done finally.
Disclaimer: If I owned Erik Von Detton, would I honestly be here, writing fics about anyone from So Weird? C'mon!! I dont own any of the actors, the producer, the writers, nor do I know anyone related to them. There ya go.
A recap of the last chapter:
" I grew up." Annie said sighing.
" Why?" He asked, looking at her. " You didn't have to do any of these big career choices, your only 16…"
" Why did you go on the road with your mom when you were younger, or study your ass off to get into good colleges Jack?"
" Because I had to."
"That's why I did it."
Now onto this weeks chapter:
" That's not the only reason you do it though... c'mon spill it, I know you." Jack said sitting across from her. " C'mon, Mr. Bear wants you to tell him what's wrong." He said pulling out the bear. Annie laughed and took her bear.
" I gave up on everyone." Annie said softly.
" Huh?"
" I gave up on relying on everyone. No one kept their promises, no one came by, no one called, and I got sick of waiting." Annie said and Jack felt a pang of guilt.
" I'm sorry."
" What are you sorry for?"
" For all those times I tormented you. When I used to make fun of you, put you down... I didn't mean it... it was just that you were so much like Fi, into the paranormal... yet you were different. When you first started with us, you depended so much on Fi to figure out everything for you... And it made me so upset... I don't know why."
" It's ok Jack... I understand." Annie smiled. " Besides, it's in the past. Then I was a stupid little girl who used to run around trying to find something, anything linked to the paranormal just so I could get yours and Clu's attention. I felt so alone... and you guys were so close, and still idolized Fi. I just felt like the odd man out."
" We didn't mean to... it was just that, we were so used to Fiona..."
" I know, I know. I was just an immature little girl then Jack. Now look at me, I can kick your ass now if you tease me." Annie grinned, looking up at her friend. Jack's eyes widened and he laughed. " Hey, I'm serious! I kicked my bodyguards ass one time..."
" You, kicked Biscuit, the 270 pound bodyguard's ass?"
" Yep."
" No you didn't."
" I sure as shit did."
" Liar."
" You want a piece of me?" Annie teased, standing up. She went into fighting stance, grinning.
" I happened to be the captain of the wrestling team while you were away." Jack grinned, standing up and pushing his sleeves up. " I can't believe I'm considering fighting a gi-" Jack began to say, but stopped when Annie tackled him. " Ah! So not fair!!" He exclaimed.
" Quit your babbling then smarty pants." Annie grinned, standing up and helping her friend up as well.
" Sure, sure." Jack laughed, dusting his pants off.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Annie woke up, glancing around as she heard someone whimper. She looked around confused for a moment, forgetting where she was. 'We must have fallen asleep.' She thought to herself, seeing Jack next to her.
" Gabe..." Jack mumbled, tossing and turning. " No... don't!"
" Jack?" Annie said softly, as she gently shook her friend's shoulders.
" No!!" Jack yelled and sat up, sweat pouring down his face.
" You ok?" Annie asked softly, glancing at her friend.
" Just dandy... I just had a dream..."
" You wanna talk about it?" Annie asked and he shrugged.
" I just had a dream about that night... each night they get more and more real..." Jack said glancing down.
" Wanna talk about it? That usually helps me..." Annie said quietly, looking at Jack.
" It's the same dream every night... only each time, it gets more real... I'm always in her house... I hear her screams... but I can't get to her... then I get there and she's dead." Jack said softly. " And all she keeps saying is that I killed her..."
" You didn't kill her. You know that right?"
" Yeah..." Jack said softly. " I probably seem like a wuss now... screaming over nothing..."
" You don't." Annie said placing her hand on her friends back. " Your not a wuss... they're just dreams, they cant hurt you."
" I know that... but they seem so real... then I hear her scream and..." Jack said as a few tears trickled down his cheeks.
" Shh... just let it out." Annie said softly, hugging her friend. *How long has he been holding this in? * She thought to herself, her eyes rising to the sky, searching for an answer.
" Thanks Annie." Jack mumbled pulling away from her.
" Your welcome... here, I think you need this more than I do." Annie said grinning as she handed him Mr. Bear. " As stupid as it may sound, whenever I get upset about Josh, or get homesick... if I sleep with Mr. Bear, everything gets better." Annie said and Jack smiled.
" If Carey and Clu could see me now... sleeping with a teddy bear... Thanks Annie..." Jack said grinning as he took the bear. " Good night Annie." He mumbled closing his eyes again. Annie sighed and lied back down, trying to get back to sleep.
*-*-*-*-*-*- A month later *-*-*-*-*-*-*
" Hey people, come on, we're going to be late! We have to be there by 10:00!!" Irene exclaimed, looking at the people around her who were busy lugging suitcases into the crowded
" Mom, that only gives us ten minutes." Clu complained, carrying three suitcases out to the vans.
" What a shame... I guess you'll have to move it then?" Irene grinned, seeing her son sigh and drag the suitcases outside.
" Last one mom." Carey grinned, carrying a suitcase into the car.
" Thank the lord, now let's burn rubber people, Molly and Annie have tour shoots at 12, you kids have a fitting before that, and we've got a performance tonight, and we have to fit in a rehearsal!" Irene rattled off the details, smiling.
" Yes ma'am." Jack teased, saluting the woman. Annie giggled from behind him, smiling as she went into the van that the teens would take.
" Watch it mister." Irene scolded smiling as she went to the car, where Molly and Ned were patiently waiting for her.
" Are you ready?" Fiona asked, looking behind her at Annie, who smiled nervously. " I mean in less then a day we're gonna be at the fanciest hotel in Jersey, kicking off the tour- I bet there'll be lots of press, lots of people there watching your every-" Fiona tried to continue, but Clu clamped a hand over her mouth, stopping her from speaking.
" Ignore her Annie." Jack smiled reassuringly at his friend. " Don't worry about the people."
" Worry about the people? Ha! What am I going to wear! If there are gonna be reporters- I have to wear something perfect!" Annie exclaimed, freaking out.
" Oh thanks Fiona." Clu teased.
" Don't worry Annie... Irene said the stylist would be waiting for us at the hotel to have a fitting for our dresses." Kat smiled, looking back from the front passenger seat. " Honestly, do you think we'd let you go looking bad? C'mon Annie..."
" Thanks guys." Annie said smiling. She closed her eyes, leaning her head on Jack's shoulder. " This is not going to be the quietest weekend, eh?" She grinned, hearing Jack laugh quietly.
***thats the end folks... it's really short, I'm sorry- I've lost my muse!! Gah I have to find it again!! Until then, adios!****
