Ana: Chapter One
Here it is!
Chapter ONE! :)
Enjoy!
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma- July 26th, 2000
I hold back a scream, as once again my suitcase flies open. This has been the millionth time, that the stubborn lock, refuses to stay shut. I study the contents.
Three pairs of shoes, six dresses, a few dozen t-shirts and shorts, plus my makeup bag.
“Anamarie?” My older brother Jamie stands in the doorway. “What…happened in here?”
I brush my bangs out from my eyes. “I’m trying to pack!”
He smirks “Looks like, World War III in here”, he says, chuckling.
I throw a pillow at him, but miss. “Shut up. What is it, exactly you came up here, to interrupt me for?”
“Mom said, to come up here to see, if you need any help packing….and it looks like you do”, Jamie gestures to my mountain of clothes, in my suitcase. “Ana, you’re only gonna be gone for the summer, not the whole freaking tour!”
I pout. “I just wanna come prepared, that’s all”.
“Prepared? Prepared for what, battle?”
I slap him on the arm. “It’s not that much!”
He quirks an eyebrow. “Oh really?” My brother walks over to the suitcase, and closes it back up. He grabs it by the handle and takes it off my bed. But as soon as he does, once again the suitcase pops open, and everything starts to tumble out. “Not that much, huh?”
I bite my lip. Okay…maybe, I could go a teensy bit lighter…..
***
As soon as I’m all done with my packing (and Jamie’s help), I am finally on my way to the Hanson’s, where everyone is meeting, to leave. Mom is in the front seat, driving , and Jamie is in the passenger side, messing with the radio. I’m in the back, with my feet up against Jamie’s seat trying to read the last email, my boyfriend sent to me two days ago.
Ana,
It’s been exactly two weeks, since we last heard from each other. I’m really sorry about that. Everything just has been so crazy around here. Mainly, because of the tour. But also something else. The day after I got your last email, Taylor has been starting to act really, strange lately. Especially around Zac. At first, I thought maybe they had a fight or something. But I have a gut feeling that it’s more than that…
Problems aside, I’m really glad you are coming, for the summer. It’s been three months, since we last seen each other. I miss you so much, it hurts. It’s even extra special, because, it marks our one year anniversary, of when I first laid eyes on you.
I gotta go now. Zac needs the computer for some God-unknown reason.
I miss you.
Isaac.
Just as I’m finished reading, “This Time Around” starts to play.
It's getting colder in this ditch where I lie
I'm feeling older and I'm wondering why
I heard they told her it was to tell and live or to die
I didn't know her- click.
“Hey!” I protest. “Jamie, turn it back on! Mom!”
“Mom, this is what she has been listening to, for the past week- no, two weeks!”
My mom sighs, as she turns onto the intersection. “Ana, we did have to endear this song, let alone the whole CD, since May. Can we please just have a break, for once?”
I lean back into my seat, pouting. “Fine...”
And that’s what we drove in.
Complete and utter silence.
Finally after a half hour, Mom finally pulled up to the Hanson’s residence. And too much to my delight, Isaac was standing, right outside on the porch. As soon as Mom turned the car off, I flew out of my seat, jumping into my boyfriend’s arms.
