John looked at her confused. "What are you talking about?"

"Oh don't play that with me Johnny. That may have worked when I was 5 but not anymore. You knew I had an uncle and you didn't tell me? How could you?" She said her arms crossed over her chest.

"Hey Landon why don't we go finish breakfast?" Natalie said walking past the two and grabbing his arm.

"What? But this is the best par…..oh!" he said understanding that he and Natalie should leave them alone to talk. He shut the door behind them quietly. Annie looked back at John. He could tell she was pissed off at him. But he was only doing what he thought was best for her.

"How did you find out? Were you snooping around in my files? He fired back at her. She wouldn't have found out this quick if she hadn't gone and looked around in his things. Annie turned around and sat on the ledge. She swirled around and dangled her feet off the edge.

"No, Natalie asked me if I would move your big ass stack of files so she could cook breakfast. I fell and all the stupid papers fell out…and then I snooped." She looked back at him. "And don't try and changed the subject this is your fault." She looked back down at her feet. Watching the cars go by. John came and sat with her, trying to figure out what to say.

"I found out they day that your dad had passed. I thought that it would be too much for you to handle and you wouldn't be able to take it and just, break down. I was only thinking in your best interest Ann's."

"So when were you going to tell me? Never?"

"Well Natalie and I were planning to tell you tomorrow." John told her how Joey found out about Rex being Kacey's brother and sent him some papers about it. They sat there quietly as Annie was taking this all in. She finally looked up at him.

"I'm sorry."

"For what?" He asked.

"For being my stubborn self." She leaned against his arm.

"Well what else would I expect from you?" he smirked. She sat up quickly and punched his arm and leaned back on him.

"Look you got a sorry out of me isn't that enough?" He laughed and kissed the top of her head.

"Yes, it is." He turned around and stood up and gave her a hand. "C'mon lets go back inside." He sniffed the air. "I smell bacon." He wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"So…uh… what were you and Landon doing up here?" she questioned, knowing John was giving her poor boyfriend a hard time.

"Well, that's for me to know, and you never to find out."

"Ugh. How did I not see that one coming?" They made there way back to the apartment to find only Natalie there.

"Where's Landon?"

"Someone called him…um…Chuck?"

Annie laughed. "Buck. What did he want?"

"He said something about getting some Sarah girl because she missed him. Do you know what he was talking about because he said you would understand?"

"Yeah that's his little sister. Buck, his friend was watching her while he was away."

"Why didn't his parents just watch her?" John asked. Annie looked down for a moment and sighed.

"His parents died. Landon has full custody of her." There was an awkward silence after her sentence. Nobody knew what to say and John felt guilty for asking.

"So….um do you think I can go for a run? Ya know to clear my head?" John looked up from the plate where he had his bacon and eggs.

"Not until you eat something." He said going back to his plate. Annie quickly ran and changed, throwing her hair up in a high messy ponytail. On her way out she grabbed a piece of toast.

"I told you to eat something."

"I'm still full from ice cream. This will do." She ran out and slammed the door. As she played her I pod she ran to the park. She loved running. It helped clear her mind and made her feel good after. She wasn't paying any attention to the man that she knocked over.

"Yo, dude! What the…" she yelled ripping the headphones from her ears. The man stood up.

"Will you watch where the fuck you're going? Gee I'd hate to see you in a……" The man looked up and there eyes met.

"Rex?" she asked

He finished the rest of his sentence. "….car. I'm sorry, I-"

"No, its okay, I wasn't looking where I was going. I-uh- I got to go. See ya around" She ran past him, putting her headphones back on. It was obvious by her reaction to Rex that she knew about them. He wanted to talk about it with her.

"Annie wait….ANNIE!" he hollered. But it was no use. She was already gone.
