A/N: I know its been FOREVER since I've updated, but last year I started college and things got crazy. Hope this is enough for now:)
"Mom…." Annabelle said into the phone once again as the static rattled through the phone.
Annabelle waited patiently for her mother to respond at all before a simple, "Annabelle" came from the other side of the phone. Annabelle wanted so desperately to have a mother that was willing to have an actual relationship with her daughter, that's all she ever wanted.
"Can you talk?" Annabelle asked simply to her mother.
"What did you do this time?" Annabelle's mother angrily yelled over the phone.
"Nothing ok? Nothing that even concerns you!"
Annabelle pulled her phone from her cheek and pressed the screen hard as she felt the tears welling up in her eyes. She laid back on the bench that she was sitting on and closed her eyes tightly as the tears continued to flow down her soft cheeks. For once in her life she was happy and then piece by piece she knew that it would slowly fall apart like it always had done previously.
Annabelle laid on the bench until the night sky completely engulfed her before she knew it was time to head back to the "comforts" of home. How could she show her face to the people who had lost a daughter by what they thought was the hands of one of her only friends as Degrassi? How could Annabelle simply just smile and tell them she had done away with his friendship if the truth was quite the opposite?
Annabelle walked past The Dot as the owner flipped the closed sign over and locked the door behind him. She shook her head at the emptied restaurant and sighed to herself as she knew Adam was probably deeply hurt by her urgency to run from him earlier. I needed to be alone, she kept telling herself as she walked closer and closer to the place she calls "home." Annabelle felt lost without the guidance of her, once loving, mother. Annabelle walked up the stairs of her front porch and quietly opened the door before running quickly upstairs and straight to her bed. She took in the deep breath as she fell against the cold sheets that had been waiting for her all day. She ran her hands through her hair before standing and walking to the bathroom to shower off the upsetting day's filth. As the water ran over her body, her mind returned to Adam and if she should call him or not? She shook the thoughts away and hurried her pace in the shower so she could return to the comforts of her bed. She stepped out of the shower and quickly dried her self and ran to her bed and closed her eyes to say goodbye to the day she had just encountered.
