Chapter 3

It's been two weeks since Jeffery had woken up to find me in the hospital room. By the end of our discussion that night, we had become friends and I had continued to visit Jeffery in the hospital every day since.

I smiled as I approached his door, only for it to drop a little when I saw who else was inside. Larry, Paula, and James from school were inside the room talking to Jeffery. Larry leaned against the wall while James claimed the only chair. Paula was sitting beside Jeffery on the bed and kept scooting closer to him, until she was practically sitting in his lap.

When I opened the door, everyone's heads turned towards me, Jeffery's the only smiling face.

"Ann! Come on in!" He happily motioned for me to enter, which I did, closing the door quietly behind me.

"Hi." I quietly said to the other members of the room. James returned the acknowledgement while Larry merely nodded his head in greeting. Paula only glared at me from her place beside; scratch that, on, Jeffery.

"I was just telling the gang about the new." Jeffery was smiling broadly, genuinely happy about something.

"…New?" With the horrible three in the room my shyness had taken over and I was a little afraid to raise my voice. For all I know, one of they could get mad at me and morph into some horrify monster and eat me! My imagination is not normal…

"I'm getting out of the hospital tomorrow!"

"That's great!"

I masked my true emotions about the hospital release until I was home. Once in bed, I curled into a ball and thought about the current situation. Don't get me wrong, I was so happy Jeffery was getting out of the hospital. It's just…what will happen after that? Jeffery's friends didn't like me; they had made that clear today. So what will happen after Jeffery got out of the hospital? He'll probably spend all of his time with them and none with me. I'll just be pushed to the side like last week's leftovers.

Ugh. Wonderful analogy Anabella. So you're leftover's now? Just frickin great.

Seriously though, will I see Jeffery after he's released from the hospital? Will we stay friends or will he just forget about me? Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

In the meantime though, I need to stop being selfish! I should be happy for Jeffery! Think about it from his point of view! He's getting out of the hospital and can start his life again! This is great! ...for him.

llllllllllllllllllllll

"Hey Jeffery, we're gonna go now. See ya later."

"Okay, bye man." After my friends left, I started thinking about Anna. I wonder why she was so quiet today. She just sat on the corner of my bed and let everyone else talk. And why did she seem so scared of Paula?

Okay, so sorry this chapter is so short. As some of you may have noticed, it switched between Anabella's and Jeffery's point of view. It will continue to do this throughout the story. And that block of l are there because won't let me put stars in for some reason. So here you are, please tell me what you think!

Just to let you know, I didn't name the character after myself. I just thought Anabella was a pretty name. As for Jeffery's nickname for her, Ann sounds a lot better than Bella. Sorry, but twilight kinda ruined the name Bella for me, along with the name Edward :P

Will Ann and Jeffery stay friends or will they be torn apart? Next chapter!
