You Are My Everything
In the Blink of an Eye
Annalyse gathered her things before going to the living room to wait for Brendon. Livy followed her, not really sure of what to say. She walked up to Annalyse and hugged her.
"It will be okay. You'll figure something out." she whispered while Annalyse held back tears.
"I hope you're right." she choked out, seeing Brendon's car pull into the drive.
"Let me know what happens." Livy said softly.
Anna nodded and headed out the door. As she walked towards the car, her head wouldn't stop spinning. So many thoughts were whirling through her brain. She didn't know how Brendon would take the news, but one thing she knew for sure was that everything would be changing after this.
Brendon drove to the park. They both got out of the car and Annalyse made her way over to the swings. She sat down on a swing and slowly began to push herself back and forth with her foot. Brendon came to sit next to her, examining her fragile state.
"So can you tell me what you were going to earlier?" he started.
She kept her eyes locked on the dirt below her. "Bren, do you really love me?"
He looked taken aback, but answered pretty quickly. "Of course I do Anna. With all of my heart. I'd do anything for you, you know that."
"No, I mean, do you really love me. Like, is it really love or just infatuation." she asked.
He couldn't see what she was trying to get at, but answered honestly.
"Anna, I've had feelings for you since middle school. You've always been the prettiest girl I've known. I used to sit around and imagine what it would be like if we were dating. I've loved you for a long time. If it was just a stupid little crush, it would have gone away by now." he explained.
She sighed. A torn expression was set in her soft features, her eyes filled with worry. "Please Anna, tell me what is going on." Brendon pleaded.
She was quiet for quite some time. Brendon waited silently. A tear streamed down Anna's cheek. "I don't want to ruin your life." she whispered. Brendon looked at her, pained. She was really starting to worry him. "Anna, tell me, please! What are you hiding?" he begged.
She looked at him, staring at the worried expression on his face. She leaned in and kissed him, her lips gently caressing his own. He was shocked. "Anna" he whispered as she pulled back.
"Do you remember the night of the party?" she asked, swallowing hard, a lump beginning to form in her throat. No turning back now... she thought.
"Yes, of course I do." he mumbled, thinking back to that night.
"We were both a little tipsy. And we--uhm--we...well you know what happened." she stumbled upon the words, each letter tripping her up.
He nodded. His stomach began to twist. Where was she getting at with this? he wondered.
"Well, something happened Brendon. I don't know how to tell you this but, uhm, I'm uh--"she paused. He just stared at her. She closed her eyes and continued. "I'm pregnant Brendon."
"It will be okay. You'll figure something out." she whispered while Annalyse held back tears.
"I hope you're right." she choked out, seeing Brendon's car pull into the drive.
