Hey, all! I recently had a guest review, asking what happened to Annie's self harming. Well, I'm not sure if you guys remember because it was so long ago, but when she tried to commit suicide the doctor told Amanda to check her over after every shower to make sure Annie hadn't self harmed again. Plus, Amanda had been heavily hurt when Annie tried to kill herself, she was extremely broken down, and Annie saw this. She doesn't want to hurt her sister anymore. Although, I will introduce her self harm once again, but I will make sure that she stops it forever. So keep reading to find out what happens with that! Anyway, enjoy the next chapter!

I sucked in a deep breath.

"Not guilty."

All of my friends and family stood up, and ran to give me a huge hug.

"Thank you to the jury for their service for the state, court is adjourned." The judge slammed her mallet against the wood.

"What now?" I said, crying tears of joy.

"We eat." Amanda said.

Everyone laughed.

Luke's family, Eve, Aria, Olivia, and the rest of the squad all squished into our tiny apartment. Amanda had ordered pizza, pepperoni, my favorite.

Me, Luke, Aria and Eve all went into my bedroom. I shut the door behind us.

"Okay. I told Luke and Eve today at the court house that this is the start of a new chapter." I said to Aria. "Did you know us three used to be best friends?"

Aria's mouth gaped open. "No joke?"

"Absolutely no joke." Eve responded.

"And now, that we're friends again, we want you to join our team." I said, a smile on my face.

"Should I be honored?" Aria laughed.

"Yes." Luke responded seriously, "No one was ever invited to The Dream Team."

"The Dream Team?" Aria raised a brow.

"Don't make fun. It was a thing." I laughed.

"Right." Aria nodded slowly.

"You are not officially apart of the squad. Do you feel any different?" Eve asked.

"No, not at all." She said.

"That's offensive." I gasped.

We laughed.

"Guys," Amanda poked her head in. "come eat. The pizza's getting cold."

The four of us left my bedroom and walked back out, everyone was eating. Everyone got a slice of pizza, except for me, I decided to stay in the kitchen to pour myself a cup of chocolate milk.

"Hey, Annie." Nick walked in, grabbing a glass. "Pour me some?"

"Sure." I smiled, the chocolatey liquid filling the clear glass quickly.

"You know how proud I am of you, right?" He said.

I nodded. "I know. Dad..."

Once again, he gave me the same look as before. The same glimmering look, of pure happiness.

"I can call you that, right?" I mumbled.

"Of course." He wrapped me in his arms. "Of course you can, Mija."

"Annie-Candy!" Luke said, "Come here!"

He pulled away from me. "Go see your boyfriend."

I rolled my eyes, laughing, and walked back out to the living room. I settled into Luke's lap. "Why am I here again?"

"I missed you." He replied.

"Right." I grinned, a blush creeping up to my cheeks.

Eve smiled at me, raising her eyebrows. Another blush ran up my cheeks. Wait, why? I put my head down, a heavy weight sat heavely inside of me. Butterflies flew around in my stomach. Shit.

"You okay, Annie?" Luke crained his head to look at me.

I cleared my throat. "I'm great." A fake smile came up to my mouth.


"I'm awful!" I told Amanda.

She rubbed my back, her eyes fixated on her book. "Sweetie. I'll love you, no matter if you like girls, or if you like boys."

"Amanda! I have a problem here!" I said, my hands flailing wildly. "I like them both!"

Amanda smiled at me. "That's okay too."

"It's not!" I exclaimed. "Now I have an issue. Eve is just about as straight as a ruler, and me and Luke are dating."

"Is your dating official?" She asked.

"Well. No." I replied.

"So tell him you have feelings for someone else." She said.

"I don't know if I do though." I groaned, my head drooped down. "Why is this happening to me."

"Sweets." She put her book down next to her legs. "Look at me."

I did. "Do what your heart is telling you. Whether that's to go after Eve or not. I could care less, they both seem like good kids."

"You're not help." I got off of her bed, and walked into my own room.

I opened my phone, and saw that Eve had texted me.

'I got ur new phone # from luke! hope thats ok?'

'Yeah. That's fine! You didn't have it already?' I replied

"Whenever i txted youi'm really happy were friends again annie. really. i missed it.'

'Me too.' My fingers typed shakily.

'well i guess i should let u sleep. see u tmmr at school?'

'Yeah.'

'see u then! bye Annie-Candy.'

I blushed. "I'm in too deep."

I thought I'd mix some things up. I'm very excited to pursue this drama though.

Thanks for reading,

Sam!
