A/N:Enjoy(:
Annabelle looked over at Adam and smiled. Today was the first day they'd be out in person as a couple. They walked in almost silence until they reached Clare's house. "Is something wrong?" Annabelle turned to Adam and took in a deep breath. "No, why are you asking that?" She smiled at Adam. "I'm just worried something's going to go wrong." She let out a breath loudly. Adam took her hand in his, "Nothing is going to happen." Annabelle smiled and placed a soft kiss on Adam's cheek. "Be right back." She said as she rang Clare's doorbell.
Annabelle and Adam waited for a few minutes before the bubbly girl finally joined them outside. "Where's Eli?" Annabelle asked Clare. Clare looked around and then back at her friends. "He's on his way. Problems with his family." Annabelle nodded. "So Adam, how'd you get his lucky?" Clare joked with Adam. "I have no idea." Annabelle felt his grip on her hand tighten. She looked over at him and flashed a toothy smile. The three were standing around talking when they heard the sound of Eli pulling up in his iconic hearse, Morty. Clare instantly smiled and waved happily at him. That girls got it bad, Annabelle thought to herself. Eli stepped out of his car and looked at his friends. "So where are we going today?" He questioned them. They all turned and looked at each other, they hadn't thought this far ahead. They stood there in silence until Annabelle finally spoke. "How about we get in the hearse and just drive?" Eli nodded his head. "Sounds perfect." He said as he motioned for the three to get in the car.
Clare took her seat in the front and Adam and Annabelle sat in the back. This was the first time Annabelle had ever seen the inside of a hearse and to be honest she didn't think it was weird at all. This fits Eli, she thought to herself. Annabelle looked over at Adam who seemed to be thinking. Annabelle leaned closer to him. "What's going on in there?" Adam seemed to snap out of whatever he was thinking about. "Oh uh nothing." Annabelle looked at him suspiciously. "That didn't sound too convincing." Adam looked at her funny before turning attention to something else besides her. Annabelle decided to talk to the other two friends she had in the car as Eli drove to wherever they were going. They laughed about random stories that Eli told and it was fun. Well, except the fact the whole time Adam practically ignored her. What it this? Eli comes around and I don't exist or he's ashamed of me, Annabelle thought to herself as the car came to a stop.
"Uh, Eli where are we?" Clare said as they pulled off the road in the middle of nowhere. Eli laughed quietly, "I use to come here to calm down. There's a park not far down that trail." Annabelle and Clare both instantly looked at each other. I mean come on, they were girls and Eli had brought them somewhere they'd have to hike? Annabelle laughed quietly to herself as they all stepped out of the car. Annabelle looked over at Adam who quickly looked away from you. She walked up to Clare and pulled her off to the side before they began their walk. "What's his problem?" Clare turned and looked at Adam who was starting at the ground. "I have no idea." Annabelle let out a loud sigh. "Eli comes around and he does a 180 from what he was like before." She rolled her eyes and her and Clare returned to the boys. When the girls had returned to the boys it appeared they'd been talking about something but instantly stopped. What's his problem? Annabelle thought as they started their walk.
Annabelle stood next to Clare and Adam next to Eli. This is so freakin' stupid, Annabelle thought as she glanced over at Adam. They walked for nearly twenty minutes before they reached a clearing. Annabelle smiled as she saw an old abandoned play ground. "This is great.." She said as she ran to the swings and jumped on. She turned and looked at Adam before pushing off the ground and beginning to swing. Clare joined Annabelle and the others quickly followed. This was perfect, well almost, Annabelle looked over at him once more and got nothing in return. Clare slowed down and jumped off the swing. "Hey Eli. Come with me." She said obviously trying to get Eli to come with her so Annabelle could talk to Adam. Eli quickly stopped and followed Clare back into the trees.
Annabelle slowed her swing and stood up. She walked over to Adam and just stood there. "What's your problem?" She said simply. "I don't have a problem." He replied angrily pushing past her. "I think you do. One minute you're all sweet and now you're a jerk. Explain." Annabelle said as she followed him. "I decided we can't be together." Annabelle took in a deep breath. "What?" She replied. "You don't understand. We can't ever really be together." Annabelle looked at him. She was confused. "What do you mean?" She said quietly. "We'll never be like Eli and Clare, I mean, I'm not a typical guy like Eli, it complicates things." Annabelle rolled her eyes and stepped closer. "I knew this when I agreed to be with you." Adam stepped away from her. "I'm afraid." He said quietly. "Of what? Me?" Annabelle bit her lip as she waited for him to answer. Adam shook his head, "No of course not." He paused. "Being with me could get you hurt and I couldn't live with myself if something happened." Annabelle sat down on a nearby bench and Adam quickly joined her. "That's a risk we're going to have to take Adam." Adam looked at her. He nodded and took her hand. "Are you 100% positive you want to take this risk with me?" He looked into her eyes. "I'm positive." Adam pulled her into a hug and then he really knew this girl was for real and he cared about her more than anything.
