Annie rubbed her eyes furiously as the sound of her Mother's voice came floating through her door.

"Annie sweetie…time to get up, Dixon wants to leave a little early today so you better get up and moving."

Groaning inwardly Annie hopped out of bed knowing that if she lingered, for even a second her mind would start wandering, wandering to places it shouldn't be, to places that would render her completely powerless. Turning on her curling iron, Annie made her way over to her closet to find something to wear.

It was then that the sound registered. Ping, ping, ping, ping. Looking over at the window Annie was filled with the uncontrollable urge to cry. It was just one of those times where you were so close to that edge, so close to falling over the cliff that the smallest things get to you and affect you in the weirdest ways. RAIN. This was California it was not suppose to rain.

"Yo Annie I'm leavin' in like 15 so be ready…or walk." Dixon shouted as he walked by the closed door of Annie's room.

"ARGH Dixon give me 30 and if you leave without me I'll KILL YOU!!" Annie yelled, growing angrier at the laughter that echoed down the hallway back to her room.

She was a flurry of blond hair, silk, and flailing arms, one heel on and the other in her hand as she rushed to Silver's door. "Silver have you seen my purse…you know the black leather one?" Kelly waited patiently outside her sister's door for a response. Nothing. Rapping her knuckle against the door she tried again, maybe she had her headphones on. "Silver…purse…leather…black, is this ringing any bells?" She was greeted once again by silence.

Opening the door and walking in Kelly took in the sight of her baby sister fast asleep. "Silver UP. NOW!!" Kelly yelled giving Silver's sleeping form a shake.

Bolting upright Silver swiped at the sleep in her eyes. It seemed like such a chore to just open them and with Kelly hovering above and glaring down it seemed twice as hard and just not worth the effort. Looking down at her pillow longingly Silver pulled at her comforter and did just what her sleepy brain was telling her to.

"Nope. I don't think so…" Kelly said whipping the covers off Silver. "You have EXACTLY 10 minutes to get outta bed and be in my car…and help me find my purse." Kelly said softening her voice at the end.

"Over there…under that stuff," came the mumbled reply.

"God Silver you really need to clean your room…are these clothes dirty…Ah success at last." Kelly said grabbing her favourite purse and straightening back up to face her sister, who was once again curled up under the comforter head burrowed under the pillow.

"Damn it Silver…come on cut me some slack here…we both had shitty, shitty nights but we need to face the day…you know head on…make the best out of it. Alright is this pep talk helping at all cause it's drastically cutting into the time we have left to get ready which is," twirling her watch around on her wrist so she could see it, "Fuck Silver we have to leave now…I have a board meeting and I can't be late…front door in three minutes." Kelly yelled over her shoulder flicking on Silver's bedroom light as she went, "Oh yeah it's pouring rain out too!!!"

Well the weather certainly matched her mood…gloomy. Bending over and picking up the closest and cleanest thing she could find Silver threw it on. Grabbing her bag and a brush Silver made a mad dash for Kelly's car deciding to brush her hair on the way to school, cause honestly it couldn't look any worse.

Avoidance seemed to be the theme of the day. First period Silver had Bio and Annie had English. Second period Silver sleepily dozed in and out of a lecture on the civil war while Annie doodled her way through art. Third period was when the feeling of impending doom set in because lunch was next and you couldn't avoid your best friend at lunch because it was way too obvious.

The bell rang and hallways filled with students all rushing to their lockers. Annie lingered at her locker, normally she would be eating outside on the steps but since it was pouring rain that was totally out of the question. And just the thought of eating in the cafeteria made her want to hurl herself off the roof.

"So how you feeling?"

Annie whipped around at the familiar voice. Bad idea, this brought her nose to nose with a concerned Silver. Wide blue eyes marred by faint purple smudges underneath stared into brown, searching for answers to unasked questions. Annie jumped back her reactions and verbal skills sluggish due to the proximity of Silver.

"Umm….not too bad…God I can't believe I drank that much." Annie said nervous laughter bubbling up in her throat uncontrollably.

"Yeah I was kinda worried when you didn't call me Sunday." Silver replied absently twirling a still damp piece of hair around her finger.

"I was totally incapacitated…never touching alcohol again, scouts honour." Annie replied with an awkward smile.

"Yeah it was kind of a crazy night eh?" Silver said hoping that maybe this would start a discussion on the topic that definitely needed some discussing.

"I guess…I really…I just don't…I guess I don't remember too much of what happened." The words were sticking in her throat almost refusing to be voiced; it should have been a sign. Casting her eyes towards the floor Annie waited for Silver's response.

Silver couldn't hide the disappointment that flashed across her face as the rejection squeezed tightly around her heart. Of course Annie didn't see this because she was too busy inspecting a small puddle on the hallway floor, teasing its edge with the toe of her boot.

"Oh well…ummm…I guess it's for the best then right? So do you want to grab some lunch?" Silver asked avoiding all eye contact which wasn't hard because Annie was still staring at the floor.

"I'm actually not too hungry maybe we can just grab a drink or something?" Annie asked quietly.

"Yeah that sounds good; I've kinda lost my appetite too."
