Annabelle Intro

Two weeks ago; "Miss Moore, after careful examination of your daily behavior, sleep patterns and reactions to certain emotional stress, we have come to the conclusion that you have developed PTSD, depression. We have also found that you have extremely high levels of anxiety since the attack. Fortunately, we have gotten you a prescription for anti- anxiety, anti-depressants and sleeping pills" Anna leaned back in the chair, completely silent. "Miss Moore do you understand me, Mi-" "YES, I-I mean yes, yeah" This was all she could play in her mind every day for two weeks. The thought of anyone knowing made her skin crawl, well aside from her mom she knew straight after she was diagnosed. During those two weeks, she would sleep in till ten o'clock, stay up late and binge out at night. The pills were supposed to help, however, they didn't really do much at all. Sadly she had two more weeks of this to deal with. Those weeks went by pretty quickly...

Annabelle Chapter 1

Ding, ding, ding, ding. "I'm up, I'm up" Anna groaned as she clicked off her alarm and began to stretch. "six o'clock, earliest I've been up in a while," she thought to herself. "Maybe a hot shower" the thought was blissful. Tiredly, she clambered out of bed and took a quick shower. She dried herself off and put on some jeans and a shirt. Today, for once, she was excited, very excited. "Finally, after a year I get to see my boyfriend, Drake," she thought to herself. As she ambled into the living room, concentrating on the thought of seeing him... BANG.

"Ahhh crap, sorry Payton" Anna gasped. "No its ok, it's my fault, I was just going to check on you, your mom called," replied Payton. "WHAT, WHY??" questioned Anna. "just to see if you were up, you know because Drake gets back today, so no need to freak out ok..." Payton answered, confused as to why she was shouting. "Oh-I um sorry, I'm just a little too excited, about Drake, you know." Anna blurted quickly. "Hey anyway, I made breakfast, eggs, and bacon just like old times." Payton smiled. "Yeah, ok let's eat" Anna replied enthusiastically. They, both, were enjoying the meal and chatting so much they lost track of time. "Hey, um are you going to meet Drake at the airport?" Payton inquired. "Yeah, why" answered Anna. "Because, LOOK AT THE TIME!!! It's already eight thirty, you said he gets back at quarter to nine." Exclaimed Payton. "Oh crap, see you" "Bye."

Anna jumped into her car, turned on the ignition and set off down the road. Thirty minutes later she finally reached the airport and ran inside. She searched ferociously for Drake. Then all of a sudden, their eyes locked as she ran into a sweet embrace. "Hey, baby I've missed you" Drake smiled. "I have missed you so much, you've been gone so long." Anna wept as she began to cry. "hey baby what's up" questioned Drake. Anna wanted to tell him about the attack and depression and the pills, however, she didn't want to overwhelm him with worry. "Oh it's nothing, I just missed you so much" she replied reluctantly. "Okay, come on we best get back and I'll tell you all about what happen." The two got into Anna's car and headed back to her apartment. On the way there Anna felt like crying, she really wanted to tell Drake, however she kept it from him for his own good.

After another thirty minutes of driving, they headed into the apartment. Drake sat on the sofa and motioned Anna to sit with him. "So while I was away not too much happened, I mean I had to befriended a drug lord, kept an eye on him then we caught him and his gang. Then, after I did a couple of extra training courses. you know not much" Drake quickly explained. "Hey, so all that training may have made you a little buffer ay, well if that's even possible?" Anna laughed. "huh maybe" smirked Drake. "Anyway, you want to do anything special?" questioned Anna. "N-yeah actually I want to take you out to dinner, so get ready soon, I got to say hi to my momma but I'll be back soon, okay" explained Drake "promise?" inquired Anna "yeah I promise."

A few hours later Anna got a text from Drake saying he'll be there in about thirty minutes, she got up, got into a beautiful black dress and did her makeup. Knock, knock. "I'll get it" shouted Payton "N- crap." She could hear Drakes voice, and for a moment it felt like the whole world stopped. She slid down the door and sat for a minute. Her heart was in her throat, her stomach in a tight knot, she couldn't breathe. Tears streamed down her face. "Hey Drakes here."called Payton. "yeah uh just a minute" Anna replied. "you okay" Payton asked "um yeah just got to finish my um makeup." Anna breathed in and out, in and out. After a minute or so she got up, touched up her makeup and left to go out with Drake. As she left her heart was still pounding and she was still a little out of breath, however, she just powered through it.

When she got back, she was a little tired, however, Drake just wanted to get straight down to business. He started kissing her right on the sofa, however "oh crap sorry guys didn't know you were back, so sorry" Payton gasped awkwardly. Drake and Anna jumped off the sofa to apologize. "Hey its ok, its just I need this room to watch TV and eat my pizza," explained Payton. "Oh yeah sure" Anna laughed as Drake pulled her off to bed. She felt as if Drake was forcing himself to do this. "whoa, Drake I don't feel like doing this right now" revealed Anna. "Whoa, why? What did I do wrong?" questioned Drake. "It's not you, this just doesn't feel right. Well at least not right now" answered Anna "Oh I um, ok, I'm going to go now" Drake muttered. "No please stay, its just I need to get used to us again, you know with you being gone for so long" Anna pled tearfully. "yeah ok I'm just going to get changed.". As Drake changed into his pj's Anna did the same then laid under the covers, as Drake laid next to her.

As Anna woke up, she realized, Drake had his arm wrapped tightly around her. Carefully she moved his arms and snuck out of bed to make pancakes. A while after she had begun making breakfast she was snuck up on by Drake who put his hands on her shoulder: "Huh oh gosh you scared me" laughed Anna as she held his hands. "So are you feeling better after last night?" questioned Drake. "Um yeah, really sorry" replied Anna. "Hey it's ok, anyway, I was hoping to talk to you over breakfast," explained Drake, sounding nervous. "Um yeah, sure" replied Anna. "So what did you want to talk about?" inquired Anna. "I um, I wanted to, um tell you that um-" Drake began. " Come on, what's up you can tell me anything," Anna assured him. "I just wanted to say, that I um, that I love you so much" Answered Drake. Anna knew something was wrong, however, he really didn't want to tell her about it. "Hey, I love you too." Anna knew something was wrong, she just had no idea how to get him to spit it out...
