Chapter 3 Annoyance

            The words Tod, Annie were home echoed through Annie's mind. She was annoyed she finally got to talk about Strat to someone then her parents came home. All she needed were her parents to nag her.

            "Dinner is ready honey."

            "I'm coming mom."

            Annie slowly started to walk down the cold hard steps. Each move she made was getting slower and longer. She was dreading having to go down to her mom and dad nagging or even to see them.

            "Hurry up its getting cold."

            Then Annie slowly slunk into her chair. The aroma of the wonderful but Annie had no appetite. The chicken Parmesan had the perfect amount of oozy mozzarella cheese. Sure the sauce was great but it wasn't homemade. The meal was still warm so steam realized as the white moist chicken was cut. Even though its perfections she was in no mood to eat especially with her parents. But she managed to jam a few bites into her mouth to avoid an interrogation. Then her mom stared to say

            "Annie so meet any nice young males yet if not there is someone your age at my office if you are interested."

            " No I haven't mother and I'm not interested about the male at your office."

            "Your not."

            "Dad, why would you think that? I have just not found the one" Annie yelled and lied

            "The one was Strat," she thought to herself.

            Annie had enough then another lie came into her head.

            "I have to go meet someone from work I forgot so I have to go I will be back when ever."
            But Annie your vacation is almost over aren't you going to spend time with us. Can you skip it?"

            "I can't mom, it is important."

            "Alright Annie, I love you."

            Annie stormed off to the old Stratton mansion. She sat down in the cool damp grass. Memories of Strat flocked through her mind. Thoughts of there future flashed by too. Memories of kisses they shared. She loved him and she could never love again.

            She had to leave but she could not go to her house. She could have sat there for hours but she was afraid she would fall asleep. Then her parents would worry and think she ran away. But she wasn't ready to go home. The only place she could think of going to sit and think was the bar. She didn't want alcohol but it was the only open place and it was free to it there.

            The bar had a few people and loud music playing. All she did was sit and have the occasional bartender ask if she want a drink. She finally settled for an iced tea. Then all of a sudden her old boyfriend Sean walked in and casually approached her.

            Well look who's here, its Annie."

            "Hi Sean" mumbled Annie.

            "You seeing anybody"

            "No and I don't want to see you."

            "What I ever do to you."

            "Nothing."

            "I see that guy you ran off when you were dating me is sticking around greatly."

            "I never went off with some guy."
            Damn it, yes you did, don't lie to me Annie."

            I was not lying and leave me alone!"

            Annie Stormed off out of the bar and to her car to go home. She had enough of Sean. She wanted Strat oh so badly. It was only midnight but Annie was tired. When she arrived to her home she slowly opened the front door her mom was still up watching some movie but her dad was sprawled out asleep on the couch. Annie mumbled goodnight to her mom as she went up the stairs. Tod was still awake in his room doing something on the computer. She could have used this advantage to talk to him but she was too tired. When she reached her room she changed out of her blue hoodie and blue jeans to her cloud pajamas. She started to cry herself to sleep. The last thing she said was

            "Oh Strat where are you I love you and need you."

            During the night she dreamed only of Strat. She slept into about ten. Memories of Strat still fresh. She then stumbled downstairs.
