Chapter 9

Sab pov-

I woke up and felt an arm around me. I opened my eyes and saw Anna still asleep. Her face was only inches away from mine. I just stared at her. She is so beautiful, even though she is sleeping. I reached over her to grab my phone to check the time. It was 8:13. Neither of us had any classes today so I decided to just layed in bed a little longer. I was laying back down when I must have moved Anna because she started to move.

She used her arm that was wrapped around me to pull herself closed to me. She moved her head into my neck and wrapped her leg around me. My stomach filled with butterflies when I felt her breath hit my neck. I wanted to lay like this forever, I wish that I never had to get up.

*Ring, ring, ring* "Unknown caller" the phone said.

Someone was calling Anna's phone, but it was across the room. Maybe it will just go to voicemail without Anna getting up, I thought to myself. I was wrong.

Anna started to sit up and stretch as she slowly woke up. She got out of my bed and walked across the room half asleep and answered her phone.

"Hello?" Anna asked into the phone. I couldn't make out what the person had said, but Anna immediately hung up and put her phone down, looking upset.

"Who was it?" I asked her, hoping for an honest answer. "Wrong number," she responded trying not to make eye contact with me. "I know you're lying," she looked at me and sighed. "Maria," With that I knew why Anna got so weird yesterday.

"I guess I should tell you about her," Anna mumbled looking up at me. "If you aren't ready you don't have to," I said walking over to her and grabbing her hands. She pulled me over to her bed and we both sat down. "No, I think I'm ready." She let out a long sigh.

"Maria's family moved a lot and she was new to my school my sophomore year. I was asked to show her around our homeroom teacher and I gladly accepted. As soon as we started to know each other, I knew that we were going to become close friends. We were basically inseparable from the beginning of the school year. In February I decided I was ready to tell her I was bi... and that I might have started to develop feelings for her.  My mom, dad, and brother's already knew. Oh, and Emmi, Julia, and Ami already knew, and they were all so accepting. I thought I could trust Maria since she was my best friend, I told her everything. It was just another Thursday night and I decided to tell her. She came over to my house."

Anna pov-

Sab looked at me so intently. I didn't think she would really care, but she seemed so interested.

"I told her I was bi and that I didn't want anyone else to know yet. I also told her about my feelings, and said that if she didn't feel the same way, we should just stay friends. I walked into school that Friday and everyone stared at me. Emmi walked up to me and told me that Maria had told everyone." I felt tears welling up in my eyes. Sab reached out grabbing my hand and squeezed it, trying to comfort me. "Everyone laughed at me and made fun of me for the rest of the year. I hated Maria with a passion. I was so happy when her family moved away at the end of sophomore year, because I thought I would never have to see her again."

"Anna, I'm so sorry that you had to come out like that," Sab pulled me into a hug and I started to cry. "I'm glad she forced me to come out," I said, pulling out of the hug and looking at Sab. "It made me who I am today. Just the month of bullying and laughing made a built up anger inside of me. From that Friday on I swore to myself that I was never going to forgive her."

Sab pov-

Anna tried to sound confident and hold back her tears. "Just let it out Anna. I'm sure you have held it in for a while," I said. I leaned in and kissed her forehead before pulling her back in for a hug. She rested her head on my shoulder and I felt tears drip down onto my shoulder. " I-I'm sorry y-you always have t-t-to see me break down l-like this," Anna stuttered. "I promise it's okay."

I held her in my arms combing my fingers through her hair until she fell asleep. We didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night so I understood. I laid her down in bed and decided to go get us something to eat.

Anna pov-

I woke up to our dorm room closing as Sab walked in with some Starbucks and a few Red Bulls.

She sat down on the floor leaning against her bed as I sat up. She pulled out a donut and started eating it while looking at her phone. She looked up at me.

"Oh shoot, was I supposed to get some for you too?" She said giggling.

She slid a bag over to me and tossed me a Red Bull. "Thanks," I responded, grabbing my food.

We ate and threw away our bags. "You better get up and get dressed," Sab said, pulling me out of bed. "Why?" I complained. "We're going out somewhere," she said walking into the bathroom to brush her teeth.

"I think I'll stay here, I don't really want to go." "That sucks, cause you're coming," she said peeping her head out of the bathroom door

Sorry for not updating. I was at my grandparents over the weekend and couldn't update.

Also, this chapter might be a little short, but I'll just make the next one a little longer.
