Chapter 5: Telltale Confessions

A/N: This is when Ana is freed from bedrest

Ana was standing outside Elizabeth's door trying to get her attention.

"Liz...Liz!...Elizabeth!" But it was pointless.

Then Ana spotted some rocks on the driveway, and a plan formed in her head.

She took the rocks and put them in her pocket. She walked over to Elizabeth's window, and started throwing rocks at her window.

After the 5th rock, Elizabeth's head popped out the window.

"What do you want?" She asked.

"I want you to come down so we can go somewhere?" Said Ana.

"Okay I'll be down in a second." Elizabeth said as her head disappeared back into her window.

After 5 minutes, she came out the front door.

"You ready?" Asked Anamaria.

"Okay, where are we going?" Asked Elizabeth now curious.

"You'll see..." Was all Ana said as they walked towards Will's house.

Will was living with his uncle. He had been living with his uncle ever since he was 12. Kevin, Will's uncle was 28 when Will came to live with him. He had just married his childhood friend Bernadice. Kevin had burnette hair just like Will did, but his eyes were hazel instead of dark brown like his older brother's was. Kevin was a blacksmith, and had gotten Will interested init just as he had been. Kevin's house was only a 30 minute walk from the town of Port Royale in the town of Hamdensburg. Now at 32 he had earned a pretty good reputation as a blacksmith.

"Why are we at Kevin's house?" Asked Elizabeth as they stopped in front of Kevin's house.

"To get Will, why else would we be out here?" Asked Ana as she knocked on the door.

Bernadice opened the door. Bernadice was tall, at 6 foot she was one of the tallest people in the whole Caribbean. Even though she was tall, she was pretty skinny. Now she wasn't skinny because she was 6 months pregnant with their second daughter; their daughter Jacquelyn was 3.

Her clover eyes greeted them with happiness as she opened the door.

"Ana! Liz! How good to see you, come in!"

They followed the 26-year-old giantess in. Inside the house, you knew a family lived there. It seemed like someone had placed a magic spell on the house to make people feel at home. There were big windows in almost every room to let the light fill the room. Every room was colorcoded to as bright color. As they walked into the living room, it seemed as if they had walked into the sun. The room was painted light yellow with daisies as the border. The border was unique because the border listed the names of the family like it was a hidden message.

Ana and Liz sat down on the couch while Bernadice sat down in an armchair.

"So what brings you two all the way to see little me. Well...big me for the time being." Corrected Bernadice as she patted her round stomach affectionately.

"Well we're here to see how you're doing, and we're also here to see if Will's here." Explained Anamaria.

"Well I'm doing fine, but Will' s not here."

"Where is he?" Asked Elizabeth nervously.

"Well you of all people should know where he is since you're fucking him."

Ana and Liz stared at Bernadice in shock.

"What you know it's true. You show it on your face and definitely in your body language. You look like a bride after her wedding night; you would have to be blind not to see it." Replied Bernadice nonchalantly.

Elizabeth turned as red as Bernadice's hair which was in a bun with some tendrils loose around her face giving her a serene look.

"And don't think you're safe Ana. You look like you're going to fuck your special someone's brains out. So do tell what's his name? What's he like?" Asked Bernadice as she clapped her hands together like a little kid.

Bernadice was like Ana and Liz's big sister to them because she had always been there when they needed her.

"His name's Jack. He saved me when I cracked my head on the pier. Ever since then we've been friends, but oh my god Bernie he's so attractive and obviously we're both into each other, but it seems like he's waiting for something." Explained Ana.

"Oh I know who you're talking about. Will brought him over a couple of days ago. Obviously Will has made a new friend; but yes ana he is attractive. If I was 10 years younger, you'd have some attention little lady." Joked Bernadice.

"Oh really? What about poor old Kevin?"

"Well Kevin will just have to move on."

They all laughed.

"So what do you think I should do?" Asked Ana as they finished laughing.

"I think if you're really into this guy then maybe you should tell him." Said Bernadice. "You don't want this to be like the last time."

Ana winced as she remembered her last boyfriend David.

David was the 1st and last time Ana had really opened herself up to anyone. She felt she could tell him anything, but obviously she was wrong. After they had been going out for 8 months, Ana found out he'd been cheating on her. When she confronted him to figure out why, he said it was because she wouldn't sleep with him. Ana could still remember the pain from the blow she was dealt. She could still remember the desire to end the pain. She ran into her room and took out a knife. Without even thinking she slit her wrists; a dream-like feeling came over her. She felt weightless and happy; she never wanted this feeling to end. As the blood drained down her arms she felt as light as a feather. Everything turned black, and when she woke up the next morning, she had a light head and everything was bloody. Ever since then she promised she wouldn't cut unless it was a dire emergency.

"Don't worry, this won't turn out like the last time." Replied Ana automatically.

"Are you sure?" Asked Bernadice now all the laughter was gone from her eyes and seriousness replaced it.

Anamaria stoped, she really didn't know if it wouldn't be like the last time.

Elizabeth cleared her throat.

"shit," she mumured. "We've got to go Ana, it's already 9 p.m."

Ana looked outside and saw that the sun had already set outside.

"Yes you must be going. I've got to get dinner ready for Will and Kev." Said Bernadice as she eased herself out of the armchair.

She hugged each of them before they left.

When she hugged Ana, she whispered into her ear.

"It's okay to listen to your heart."

Ana stopped and actually thought about what Bernie had said as she and Liz walked home.

What did she mean by listen to my heart? Does this mean I should tell Jack how I feel? Why don't I listen to my heart and see what it says?Thought Anamaria as she actually listened to her heart. It sounds like it was saying tell him.

Well sounds like we have a winner. Thought Ana as she said goodbye to Elizabeth and headed towards her house.
