Anna's pov I was not in the mood to think about Vincent and his troubles. He was the one that got me into this mess in the first place. "They could all go crawl up somewhere and die!" I hissed. "Woah Anna easy, Vincent is…" "I don't want to hear his name anymore." I cut her off. "I don't know what he wants and I don't care, just please don't talk about them anymore." I muttered. Sarah sighed. "I am sorry this Is all my fault if I didn't presusde you to confess to Caleb this won't have happened." Sarah apologied sadly. "And if you didn't I would still be thinking he was my friend it was only a matter of time before he got tired of pretending." I sighed. "It's fine I understand now that being too trustful has its downfalls." I sniffled. "But Caleb…" "Let's not talk about it anymore. I am done with anything that concerns him, please don't talk to him. I still don't know what he's capable of doing." I told Sarah,She said nothing. I knew she might want to confront Ca
Anna's pov Words were easier said than done. Even though I made my resolution that I will get over this, my resolve quickly melted away when I had to go to school the next day. Mom was supportive and told me it was best. I went to school so Caleb won't think that I was so hung up on him that an ordinary rejection would make me skip school. I was apprehensive but I went to school early as usual. I didn't cry anymore after mom talked to me yesterday, I fell asleep in her embrace and was only woken up when mom called me to eat dinner last night. I was careful to look out for Caleb so I won't run into him but I was more careful about the new guy. I didn't want to come across him and felt like I was trying to avoid Vincent all over again. The only difference was that Vincent was finer. I would say that the rest of the day was uneventful since I tried my best to stay out and haven't gone to the secret hideout since my last encounter with Caleb.
Vincent's pov Anna asking me to give her my sweater was surprising to me. Even though I didn't want to at first since I needed it, I still tossed it at her because I knew she would never ask for my help if it wasn't something that was important. I wonder why Caleb wasn't sticking to her like glue today. It seemed as if he was her shadow because I saw him.with her practically everywhere. She thanked me as I continued walking back to class then I saw him,the new guy in my school calming to be tough and strong, bullying everyone and trying to see what I would do. Honestly I don't care what he does. I got sick of bullying. Yes I didn't think there would be a day I would say it but yeah I don't think I feel like bullying anyone anymore. That is unless it cannot be avoided because some people are just plain stupid and ask for it. I just gave up on bullying after what happened with Anna,that hit deeper than I thought. I shrugged it off as I continued to walk down the hallwa
Anna's pov Mom looked at me sadly but remained silent and her silence was killing me slowly. Sarah's mom didn't even pay attention to me or my question. I don't even think that she realized I was there because she continued crying as mom rubbed her back gently. "Mom, is everything alright? Where is Sarah ?" I asked and mom sighed. "Sarah is fine Anna, you should go to your room." Mom told me. I was not convinced because she was acting weird so I stayed rooted to the spot. "But where is she mom?" I asked not wanting to leave until I got the answer I needed. "Anna, just go to your room." Mom sighed. I was about to speak again when I heard footsteps down the stairs,I glanced over to the stairs and I saw Sarah coming down the stairs. Oh goodness she scared me! Mom scared me as well,why was she delaying to answer my questions? I sighed in relief as I ran to her and embraced her tightly. I was fearing the worst but now that I saw her I was relieved. "Oh Sarah I missed you
Anna's povSarah's voice sounded hoarse from crying and judging from my wet pillow case I think she had been crying in my room as well.I felt so bad I didn't know what to do at this point. She always stayed with me when I got bullied but I just couldn't do anything to help her. Now I could only sit and listen to her."Even if they don't tell me ,I know what's wrong. I just hope they get through it . I don't want to lose my family over this." Sarah said sadly.I felt sorry for her as I consoled her. I just hope that her family gets over this because I actually thought that yesterday something bad happened to her.We started talking about schools and I remembered about the new bully in school. I asked Sarah if she knew his name."He's called Tom,he transferred from another school." She told me.Trust Sarah to know the latest happening in school.Tom was going to be a problem for me if I did nothing about it. Right now I don't want any trouble or problems. I don't know why he transfe
Anna's pov As we walked to the hallway I was feeling very nervous as I played with my fingers while walking beside Vincent. Did I even think this through? I stole a glance at him and his face was emotionless but something told me he was in thoughts because he wasn't paying any attention to the stares I was getting,this was the calmest I had seen him. He ignored my existence beside him,I felt out of place. Now that I was this close to him I feel like calling myself a short person because he was towering over me. I wonder why bullies are always tall? We walked to the back of the school before he stopped and turned to me. "What did you need to talk to you about?" He said as he folded his arm. I just realized now that he was wearing a sweater before I gave him his own,did he have two of them? " Well...um.. what I wanted to talk to you about is something important." I began avoiding eye contact with him. I was staring at the wall,his intense gaze was making me afraid that maybe w
Anna's pov Vincent eyed me suspiciously. "Which is?Anything you want but I hope it's not something embarrassing that you want me to do?" He asked cautiously. "No,it's nothing like that,I just need you to know that it involves Caleb, nothing else." I replied. "Caleb?" He asked and I nodded. " I think I get where this is going,it's something i do best right?" He asked and I nodded . "Would it cause any problems for you?" I asked him and he chuckled. "I am a train of problems Anna, a few more won't do anything to me." He replied. "Are you worried about me?" He asked. "Ain't you sick?" I asked. "I am,what you thought I didn't get sick?". He asked in amusement. "Strangely I did." I replied and he laughed. "Anything you want is what I would do , don't worry about me, I am getting better already ." He smiled at me. Strangely this is the first time that I've seen things and smiled this happily. Am I doing the right thing? Vincent refused to let me go. He held onto me and heck I
Anna's pov Nowadays I look forward to going to school because I know that no one would try to bully me because I was with Vincent now. How the news, about me and Vincent dating was all over the school the next day even though we had just been dating for a day was still a mystery. I suddenly became popular in just a day. I was the talk of the school. Nerd dates her bully. That sounds weird but it's fine. Though I didn't see any post about it I was sure someone would put it up or maybe Vincent had already told them not to do anything that silly. When I got into class, girls from my class that I haven't even met before gathered around my desk. They came bearing gifts and numerous questions that I didn't even know where to begin answering. Receiving such attention was overwhelming but as always Sarah I came to the rescue. "Let her breathe already, would you?" Sarah told them off. "This doesn't concern you Sarah, what are you jealous of because you ain't dating Vincent?" One of
10 years later Anna's POV I took a deep breath in as I smiled to my father beside me. Finally the day had come. After the arrangements, crying and shouting, I can say that I am happy now. "Are you ready dear?" Dad asked and I exhaled as I put on a big smile. "Yes dad I am ready." I said as we walked down the aisle. This was the happiest day of my life and seeing my friends, family , relatives all gathered together here was like the best feeling ever. Vincent looked dashing in his tux and his undercut gave him a different look entirely today. I don't know why he decided to cut his hair but it made him look more manly. I got to the altar and I was finally wed to him. ***few months later*** Daniel and Jack came over to pay us a visit. More like Daniel came to complain about how his girlfriend left him after he spent so much money and time on her. I got tired of him complaining. "Stop talking so much Daniel,she left you so just get over it, Jack did tell you that she was jus
Anna's pov I waited till Vincent finished his exams,since I got no threats from anyone he passed and Daniel told me so as well. He hasn't made any comment regarding my breakup with Vincent either he doesn't know or he doesn't care but either way part of me was happy that at least someone was only on my side. The only time that I gained the courage to talk to Vincent was when my brother said he got admitted into college and was preparing to leave. "You should talk to Vincent now before it's too late." Daniel stated "Why do you even care?" I asked. "Because I don't like the state I saw him last,he was trying to hold himself together, I'm just saying that he looks like a shadow, unlike the Vibrant Vincent I know." He said. "I don't care Daniel, this doesn't concern me." "Don't regret your decision Anna." He said as he left. When I finally decided to talk to Vincent the problem began. School had closed and he wasn't receiving my calls.I asked mom if he still came by the Orphana
Anna's pov I didn't see Mira again as Vincent promised and I didn't hear from him again as well, he was taking his final year exam so he was concentrating on that. But part of me thought he would at least put up a small fight but he did not and stayed away from me. Sarah came over to my house two weeks after our break up,we sat on my bed talking when she suddenly asked me why she hadn't been seeing Vincent around me and I told her what transpired. "Why would you do something like that to him Anna, when you know he's going to write his final exams, don't you think that that will at distract him?" Sarah asked and that got me annoyed. "Honestly I didn't care that much to think that far." I retorted. I was angry that she was thinking about how Vincent felt and not me. " If he fails because of you didn't you even think about what would happen?" Sarah asked. "I've already made up my mind that if that happens I would change school nothing more nothing less." I told her. "And are you
Anna's POV. Even though Vincent looked terrifying I needed to stand my ground or I would let this go and I know I can't continue dating him. I was done with that. "You thought I would actually accept your feelings after everything you did to me?" I asked sarcastically. He sighed then his face softened a bit. "Anna please don't do this ,don't hurt me this way , do you me to beg you I will do anything you want so please just listen to me." He pleaded. When threatening me doesn't work he goes back to begging. Vincent is unpredictable at times. "Don't act this way Vincent if isn't befitting of you and please don't embarrass yourself by doing anything silly it won't change my mind,I don't want to stay around you anymore." I told him as I tried to leave. "Anna, wait." He grabbed a hold of my hand and dragged me back. "Don't make me hurt you Anna ,take your words back you can't just tell me it's over without giving me a good reason." He said. "You love me too much to even think ab
Anna's pov I was silent for a while after he said that. "Anna, are you still there? Are you alright?" Vincent asked again. "I am fine." I muttered. "I guess you were a bit shaken up by this ." He sighed. "Don't worry she's not going to scare you like that again and this time she's going to go away for a long time because she's an adult now if she knows what she's doing, she's not some minor that can be controlled or pardoned." Vincent reassured me. I don't care what he was saying. Maybe I don't know Mira personally but I think she just needs help...the type of help I wasn't sure about because she seemed obsessed with Vincent. Had she been following him around all this while? A question I kept pondering. " Sorry I didn't mean for all this to happen, I didn't want to scare you by telling you about her,I thought she had stopped all this madness I didn't know she was still at it." Vincent said. "What actually happened between you and Mira?" I asked because now it involved me and
Anna's POV I gulped as I should frozen to the spot as she made no move to put the gun away. It was as if she didn't even care that she was holding a gun in the middle of a sidewalk. How can she be this calm and unaffected? It felt as if this was something she was used to and that's crazy. Threatening someone with a gun. I have only been dating Vincent for 3 weeks and she already found me so was she watching him all these while and seeing who he was interacting with? Goodness I was scared. Mira took steps closer to me and even though half of my mind screamed and told me to run I stood frozen to the spot, the other half of me was telling me not to try her patience so I won't get shot. She stopped in front of me. "Turn around slowly " she commanded and just as if I was enchanted I did as she commanded and she pushed my backpack to the side and pressed the gun to my back using my backpack to cover part of it. "Walk, you can only stop when I tell you to." She hissed and I starte
Anna's pov Vincent told me he would take care of everything himself but I had to do the other little work which I gladly accepted. During lunch break Caleb was having lunch with his friends and it was confirmed. We headed to the cafeteria and Vincent handed me over a cup of liquid but I knew it almost made me puke. "What is this?" I asked him. "I don't know what that is, I asked someone to get it." He said. I got to where Caleb and his friends were sitting, Vincent behind me and before he could ask what I wanted I poured the liquid inside the cup on him and it spilled all over his clothes and I moved back as the foul smell invaded my nose. He stood up fuming in anger and I hid behind Vincent. Well I might as well make use of my sheid hehe. "Are you insane Anna?" He yelled thunderously at me as Vincent ignored his yelling and took pictures of him. When he tried attacking Vincent just one word from him stopped him. "I might just pay your Dad a little visit. I am sure we would
Anna's POVI guess Vincent is a responsible person. If not , mom would not have accepted him easily. I think she had known him for a long time." This is a date right?" I asked him."Oops I forgot, would you go out on a date with me Anna?" He asked and I rolled my eyes at him."Isn't it a little too late to ask me that?" "I forgot to ask the minute we were out the door." He replied"Yes I would go out on a date with you Vincent." I replied and he held onto my hand and entangled it in his." Instead of going to the movies, why don't you just take a stroll around,I don't think we have to go somewhere for a date." I suggested.Even though we were dating now I didn't want to go anywhere far with Vincent,it's not that I don't trust him but I just don't want to get alone with him."But I want you to take you somewhere nice." Vincent agrued."We can go another time, I want us to get to know each other. I know a nice cafe around here. Can we just go there?" I asked with puppy eyes."Fine." H
Anna's pov Good thing that my father wasn't around. It was my mum. She was cool to a level. I walked closer to the door. " I thought you said you would tell me where we would meet later." I said to Vincent. "Anna, stop being unfriendly to guests." Mum shushed me as she told Vincent to come in. I moved aside as Mum let Vincent in. Vincent thanked her and sat down on the couch in the living room with Daniel who was staring at him as if he had grown another head. Vincent greeted Daniel and he muttered a response. I guess he wasn't expecting that to happen. Mom asked Vincent if she could get him anything and he told her no, that he just came to see me and that another day he would accept the offer. They were acting as if they knew each other. As they both conversed and ignored my existence. "Do you know his mom?" I asked her. "Who doesn't know Vincent?" She asked . " He helps out at the orphanage near our church." Mom replied and I was like what? Vincent helps people? The
