"...why can't you come home now?"

"The prom is tonight mom," Annette explained to her mom. For the tenth time.

"But you don't have a boyfriend anymore."

She rolled her eyes. "But I do have a date."

Click. "Annette? It's your father. Who is this date?"

"A.J."

"What kind of name is that? What does A stand for? What does J stand for? Who is this?"

"Daddy,  ( Read more... )

Her room was clean (with Liir's help), she'd had a shower, and she just got off the phone with her mom. Annette had agreed to go home for the weekend. She didn't really want to but ... she was trying to be a good daughter.

Ring.

Annette grabbed her cell. "Hello?"

"Hey," Trevor said. "Just talked to your mom - she said you were coming home this weekend ( Read more... )

Annette was sitting on her bed, staring out her window, lost in thought. She'd heard the radio last night, learned that Beauty had left, and she was worried about A.J. It had to have been a hasty decision, her leaving. She never said good bye or anything, though Annette more than understood why. And she felt bad for that...

Ring...

"Hello?"

"Hello ( Read more... )

Annette was on the floor trying to coax Angel to her. Her cat was still acting all weird like.

But her phone rang... so... "Hello?"

"Annette! What the hell did you do with my stuff!" Trevor yelled at her.

" ... "

"Annette! Dammit! Do you know where I am? In my apartment. Where is my stuff?"

"I'm sure I don't  know what you are talking about, Trevor. I'm ( Read more... )

Annette was packing and admiring the ring on her finger that Dick had given her, when her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hello sweetheart," her mom sing-songed.

"Hi mom, what's up?"

"When are you coming home?"

"Tomorrow, remember? I told you that already."

"Can't you come today?"

"No, mom, I have two finals tomorrow."

"Well, hurry up will you?" she laughed. "We ( Read more... )

Annette was really hoping that Father Gabriel really appreciated the gift she left him, because hello? she never ever wanted to see it again in her life.  She practically fell into her bed and pulled the covers up and over her head, thinking about possibly planning her fake funeral. If Father Gabriel was willing, like he said, then it was worth ( Read more... )

Annette was sound asleep and snuggled up close to Dick when her cell phone began to ring... and ring... and ring. Grumbling, she moved over her boyfriend and grabbed it, flipping it open and mumbling a sleepy, "Hello." Silence. "Hello?" Nothing. Cursing, she snapped it shut and climbed out of bed, careful not to wake Dick. Shuffling over to the ( Read more... )

Annette crashed on her bed after the Flag Football scrimmage today. It was so much fun despite the brief lasp in her thought process when she flashed Dean to get a flag. Clearly she wasn't thinking. Or maybe she was. It led to the rest of the guys on both teams to take off their shirts. Couldn't go wrong there. Riding on Chad's leg had been kind of ( Read more... )

Annette was sitting at her desk, laptop open, and an unopened bottle of rum sitting off to the side. She was looking at a few different web sites, seeing what she might order Dick for his birthday when her mom called.

"Hello?"

"Hey sweetheart, it's your mom."

"Hi, mom." Great.

"So, how's that girl with the hormonal condition?"

"She's fine."

"What was her ( Read more... )
