Part 6- Of Heart to Heart and Hand on Heart
Ana was almost home and she was more then ready to just lay in her bed and fall asleep, when she heard Rose call for her.
"Ana-Lucia, you okay?" Rose called from the porch.
Ana stopped and looked at her; she gave Rose her best fake smile.
"Yeah, everything is good." She said sweetly.
"It doesn't look good, you wanna talk about it?" Rose asked.
Ana sighed and thought for a moment; she then walked up the front yard and sat on the swing next to Rose.
"Want to tell me what's wrong?" Rose asked softly. "Is it you and Sawyer?"
Ana looked at her with sad eyes and nodded.
"Yeah there was an incident today at the lake."
Ana and Rose sat on the porch, while Ana told her everything that happened today. She trusted Rose and didn't worry about her judging or telling other people.
"Maybe you are starting to see James as more than a friend." Rose suggested.
Ana shook her head and thought about how she was going to answer that. She didn't want to see him as more than a friend but, maybe her heart thought otherwise. They were two peas in a pod and they would be perfect but, Ana never would sacrifice their friendship by getting into a relationship with him. What if it didn't work? That would mean that a friendship of over six years would be over.
"I don't really, that's the problem. Things are just getting weird." She sighed.
Ana really didn't know what to say because; she didn't know what the problem was or what was causing this issue. It was one of those situations where you know something is different but you don't know why, and when asked about it, you have no answer.
"You need to think about what you want. Do you want to just be friends or maybe take it a step further? Because you can't have both in this situation. I know it's confusing but, there is a lot of love between you too. You just have to figure out which kind of love."
Ana nodded who heard and looked out towards the street.
"You need to talk to him Ana and make things right again." Rose said.
She hugged the younger girl and smiled. Ana smiled slightly and stood up.
"Thanks Rose." She said as she walked down the front porch stairs.
Ana made her way to her house. After she got a shower she put on some comfortable clothes and climbed into her bed.
"Ana, James is here." Ms. Cortez told her daughter.
Since the lake Ana hasn't left her room much. It's been two days and Ana and Sawyer haven't had any contact. Her mother was worried about her and tried to talk to her about it but, Ana wouldn't tell her the problem.
Ana-Lucia sighed and looked at her mother.
"Just tell him I'm sleeping." She said rolling over and facing the wall.
"Sleeping huh?" She heard his southern voice.
Ana rolled her eyes but didn't make any effort to look at him. She felt Sawyer sit on the edge of the bed and sighed. They sat in silence until Sawyer spoke.
"Lulu, we need to talk about this you know?" He said lowly.
"I don't want to." She mumbled.
He sighed and looked at her, even though she had her back to him. He didn't want their friendship to end because of something like this.
"Is this all about what happened at the lake?" He asked. She ignored him.
"Ana." He repeated her name until she was annoyed.
"Leave me alone Sawyer!" She snapped.
"No, I'm not leaving you alone. You've been ignoring me for two days now and I'm sick of it. Now we're going to talk about it whether you like it or not. I want this fixed so we can go back to the old days." He said running his hand through his blonde hair.
"Don't you get it? It's not going to ever be like the old days." She said.
Sawyer then rolled over top of her and landed between the space between Ana and the wall. He searched her eyes for an answer that wasn't there. They stare into each other's eyes until Sawyer sees Ana's getting heavier by the minute.
After she had fallen asleep Sawyer lay there thinking about these past few days. It's been hell without Ana around. He was left to hang with everyone else and not his best friend in the world. Don't get him wrong he loved the rest of the group but, at the end of the day it was him and Ana against the world.
His mind drifted to the lake and her arms wrapped around him. Sawyer didn't know what to think about the chest on back situation; at one end he was uncomfortable but on the other hand that day gave him butterflies every time he thought about it; which had be a lot in the past three days.
He was getting worried because when he looked at Ana-Lucia he didn't just see his best friend; he saw a beautiful girl who was in his life. Sawyer always felt lucky to have such a great girl around. Sawyer lay on his back now and his eye lids were getting heavy; letting sleep finally come over him, he closed his eyes and sighed as he fell into a deep slumber.
Sawyer slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He was staring at Ana's ceiling. Remembering the talk he tried to have earlier he remembered Ana falling asleep. Suddenly feeling restricted he looked over and saw Ana lying with half of her body on his, her head on his shoulder, and her hand over his heart. He then realized that his arm was around her holding her to him and their legs were tangled together. A small smile crept onto his face; he kissed her hair and closed his eyes not wanting it to end.
He never fell asleep he just lay there thinking about everything.
"I could get used to this." He thought, quickly took it back when he felt her stir against him.
(Sawyer)
I wanted to scream! Everything was so hard and confusing. One second we're best friends and the next I'm looking at her as more than a friend. I just want everything to be like it used to be and now everything is so different. Ana and I are growing up and it kills me to say that slowly but surely we're growing apart.
She stirred again I looked down at her sleeping face. I can't help but smile. I watch as she slowly opens her eyes, she blinked a few times to get the sleep out of her eyes.
"Hey…" I whisper.
"Hey." She said with a sleep filled voice. "What time is it?"
"I don't know." I chuckled. "It's dark outside so I would presume at least after seven."
She nodded and snuggled closer into my chest. I heard her sigh and pull the blanket closer to her.
"Are you going to get up or do you want to stay here?" I asked.
"Here is nice." She sighed.
"Yeah it is." I reply, laying my chin on the top of her head.
(Ana)
I woke up to the early morning light shining in my eyes. I quickly closed them again and groaned. I rolled over and came face to face with a grin from Sawyer.
"Mornin' Muchacha." He said. I smiled slightly.
"Good morning." I said above a whisper.
"Sleep good?" He asked.
"Yeah I feel like I've slept for days." I chuckled.
"We have been sleeping since six o' clock yesterday and it's…" He leaned over and looked at the clock. "Ten in the morning now."
"Damn…I'm ready to get up and do something." I said sitting up and pulling the covers off me.
