Best Friend

This is a story I wrote a few years ago when I totally had nothing to do at Journalism Club. :3 Revised though. This story sucks 

---

Ever since 3rd grade, my best friend, Danny and I were inseparable. I first met him when I was outside our neighbourhood playing with my cousins who came to visit from Yorkshire to my home in Los Angeles. My mum said that day that someone was moving in beside our house. I was so excited and hoped for a kid my age to show up.

"Anna, look! Your new neighbours are here." My cousin Rita giggled in her soft British accent. She was a year older than me.

"They arrived." I smiled as I fixed my brunette wavy hair into a ponytail and let it dance together with the air.

"Anna, you're going to have a new playmate!" My 13 year old cousin, Ricky said.

"Where?" I looked at the boy who came down the car. He had jet black hair with a Korean style into it. His eyes were frosty blue and his smile made my heart melt. He was perfect.

"What an adorable kid." Belle, my 16 year old sister said.

I blushed as they talked about him and I wondered about him so much that it made my heart beat faster than it usually does. I laughed as I think of it. How could that be? I'm still a child. It was just probably admiration. I smiled.

Spring break ended and my cousins went back to Yorkshire. It was another day at school and I couldn't wait 'till music class. I was wearing a White sweater and a jeans, and just some sneakers that I felt comfortable with. I let my hair free. I never liked to dress up. I wonder why people try so hard when they know that a part of them is beautiful.

My mum drove me to school and I kissed her goodbye, I walked to my classroom and sat down my seat. The teacher came in and introduced us to the new student, Daniel Owens. My eyes were affixed to him as the teacher told him to sit beside me. Of course! Where else would he sit!? The chair beside me is the only one that's free.

"Hi, I'm Daniel. But call me Danny." He smiled as he introduced himself personally.

I bursted my own bubble and smiled back, "Hi. I'm Anna Skye. Nice to meet you."

We were talking at break time and eventually became friends, he knew that I was his neighbour already and we just kept exchanging conversations. He lived in Connecticut, and the reason they moved was because of his dad's work.

As time passed we became the best of friends. We grew up together and enjoyed life at its fullest. He never noticed my feelings, I suppose. I grew in love with him more and more each day. That feeling I knew started to change when were in 11th grade~ he took me to our favourite band's concert on my birthday. It was one of the most happiest days of my life.

He took my hand as we walked out of the stadium, he looked into my Hazel eyes and said, "Happy birthday my beautiful Anna." and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

I pushed him gently and laughed, "You perv!" But I was blushing the whole time.

 

He smiled at me and said, "I'm sorry. I won't do that again." He pulled me and we ran through the parking lot. We were laughing the whole time. People staring at us were saying that we were such a sweet couple. But we weren't and that just broke my heart...

-Danny's POV-
I took her hand as we walked out the stadium and I looked at her amazing Hazel eyes and said, "Happy birthday my beautiful Anna." And I gave her a kiss on the cheek hoping she wouldn't reject it... I loved her. I loved her ever since I saw her smile. But she pushed me away gently and got the hint.

She said as she laughed, "You perv!" I don't care if she calls me that, I just wanted her to know that I cared. If only it's easy to transmit my feelings to her. To tell her I love her. And that I'll always be with her... I want her to be mine. Mine alone.

-Normal-
We got into the car and I said, "Thank you Danny, I had fun." I put on my seatbelt and forced to go near him and lean on his shoulder. It was warm... and it made me feel safe. 

 

He tapped my head and chuckled, "Anything for you." And he started the engine.

As we were half way through home the most hurtful experience happened in my life.

The traffic signal was on go, but
I noticed a truck going faster and faster towards us, "Oh f*ck! Danny!!! The truck is not stopping!!!!! Turn around!!!! Da-"

Danny turned as fast as he could, "HOLD ON ANNA!!!'" But it was too late...

I'll continue this later~~ hahaha! I don't even know if I should.

 

-Danny's POV-
I hear the ambulance everywhere, pain. Pain. Ouch. What is this feeling? Excruciating pain... Anna. Anna, where are you? My dear Anna, I'm sorry. Blood. Dizzy. Anna!!!!!!

I woke up and looked around... Hospital. Why am I here? Where's Anna?

"Doctor! My son is awake!" My mum's voice.

"M-mum... Where's A-an-anna?" I said weakly.

"Daniel, she's fine. She's still sleeping. Oh Daniel, thank god! We thought we were going to lose you!" I felt my mum's tears on my skin.

I don't care about what will happen to me, I just need to know what happened to Anna. I have to get out of here.

"Mum, let me see Anna! Let me see her!!!!!"

"Ms. Skye is in a stable condition Mr. Owens." The doctor said.

I glared at him and gritted my teeth, "LET ME SEE ANNA. NOW!"

They put me on hold and I sat on the wheelchair. I passed by room to room, until I reached her. I slowly opened the door and saw her unconsciously lying there. Tears were trickling down my cheeks and their were bruises and scratches like mine. I went near her and her sister was sleeping.

I held her hand slowly and gently kissed it... I whispered to myself, "I'm sorry... It's all my fault." tears wouldn't stop flowing.

"Daniel..." I looked up as soon as I heard her sister's voice.

"Belle." I said as I smiled weakly with tears still flowing.

"Don't blame yourself, she wouldn't want that. I'm glad you're okay now. Watch over her for a couple of minutes... I'll be out to get food and I'll have to inform our parents about what's happening now..." She said as she stood up from the chair.

I nodded and said, "They're still in Yorkshire?"

She nodded and left.

I looked at her angelic face, "Anna, I love you with all my heart. And I'd do anything for you to live."  Her fingers moved... I quickly shouted for the nurse and the doctor.

 

-Normal-
I opened my eyes, the smell of the hospital caught my attention. Where am I? Who... Who am I? I tried hard to remember. I saw a doctor, and a nurse but... There was this stranger, who had scratches on his face. Blue charming eyes... Who are you? My heartbeat was faster than normal.

"Anna, are you okay?" His voice was familiar and who's Anna?

The doctor was checking up on me.

"Anna? Are you talking to me?" I asked him. The doctor looked confused. Everyone was.

"Doctor... What do you mean by this?! She doesn't know herself?!" Tears were coming out of that boy's face.

"There is a possibility that she is suffering from temporary memory loss. Her head was injured, so that migh be the reason. She will soon remember everything. Just help her through." He explained calmly.

"Anna, it's me... Danny. Daniel Owens. Your best friend ever since 3rd grade. Anna, please remember me..." So familiar, yet so strange. What is this feeling I'm getting?

-Danny's POV-
My head was going crazy. No! She can't lose her memory. Anna! My sweet dear Anna!  "Anna, it's me... Danny. Daniel Owens. Your best friend ever since 3rd grade. Anna please remember me..." My heart felt hot, it was like being boiled into a really hot pot and being cut piece by piece. Before I knew it I was crying.

I reached for her hand but she moved far away, "N-no!! Do-don't touch me!" she was shaking so badly that the doctor and nurses let me out of the room.

Anna... I'm sorry. My God, I have sinned you. 

 

-Normal-
"N-no!! Do-don't touch me!" I said as he was reaching for my hand. He gave me the weird feeling. And why? Why did I lose my memory?! Why God!!! Why?! No... I can't blame god. There are reasons for everything right?

"Anna..." he whispered.

And that's where it hit me...

-9th grade-
"Danny... Uhm... Danny I like you! Please go out with me!" I stood there as I watched my close friend, Taylor behind the end of the lockers.

I felt a sharp pain in my heart when he smiled... He never showed me that smile... He never told me he likes him... Danny.

"I'm sorry Taylor, but I have someone I like. But we can go out as friends if you want." He pinched her cheek.

Taylor was the cutest girl I've known in my life. Beautiful green eyes, puffy red hair, she looked like a scene queen. She was petite but sexy. She was way much attractive than me.

"Uh... Okay." She blushed.

Danny said, "You know Tay, I like you. And-" but I couldn't bear to hear anymore! Why do I have to be the one to suffer. For how many years I have loved him. How am I suppose to live without him beside me!?

I ran from school to my house, the weather was looking bad. Not half way through home the rain fell on me. Somehow it lifted up my griefs. Danny... If only you knew how much I love you. If only you weren't too blind to see. Even though you're corny at times, I could never stop loving you... 

 

I'll probably update tomorrow~ ^^

 

-Normal-
Hospital

"You... S-stay away from me!!" I shouted at him.

"Anna what's wrong?" He had a scared look in his eyes.

"You're the one who broke me!! Stay away!" Tears were dripping down my cheeks.

The nurse moved him out of my room. And I cried there, remembering the painful memory. He was my best friend? Yet... He broke me.

Days passed, I finally got discharged from the hospital. My parents were there and they didn't leave me. I tried so hard to remember things, and I did. But my sister said I was forgetting something very important. Danny.
