CLAIMER- I'm claiming Annie Hannah Macintosh, Candace Katherine Hess, Ryan William Abrams, and Annie's Grandparents
THREE WAY STREET- Markus Aaron, Ace Brenden, Jason Elliot Levy, and Madison Samantha Brown are also being claimed.
I'D RATHER NOT CLAIM the crazy psycho stalker fangirls, but I'm afraid I must.

Chapter 8: Can You Climb a Tree?

“What?” He asks, looking straight into my eyes. No. I can’t tell him just yet.

“Uhm… No. Nevermind.” I watch his expression go from shocked, to confused, to suspicious all in a matter of seconds, but he drops it.

“Okay.” I feel another tear slip down my cheek. “You okay to go back now?” I take a huge, ragged breath.

“Yeah. Sorry for getting all dramatic on you.” He looks down at the bras in my hands.

“You know, Madison would not approve.” I giggle, and we both stand up and walk back to me room.

“Everything all good now?” Ace asks.

“Yeah.” I nod. He looks down at his feet.

“I’m really, really sorry. Whatever I did.”

“It’s okay.”

“No, seriously-“

“Don’t worry about it.” I snap, then look away, embarrassed. I never snap at people or lose my temper. The last time I cried in front of anybody besides Ryan was… years ago. At my most vulnerable.

“Annie…”

“I’m sorry. I’m just not used to being so open with anyone besides Ryan.” Markus’s face tightens at the mention of Ryan. What is his issue? I walk over to the window and open it. “This is how we’re getting out.” Jason shoots me a dubious look. “I’ve done it countless times before, so I know what I’m doing.” All of a sudden, it dawned on me. Three Way Street is in my room. Holy shit. The most famous band in America at the moment in standing right in front of me. In my room. OhMyGod. OhMyGod!

“Are you… okay?” Ace asks me, pulling me back. Whoops. What was I doing?

“Yeah.” I grab my sheet from off my bed. “Here, you’ll need it. Since you’re all beginners.”

“At what?” Markus asks.

“Sneaking out.”

“You’re crazy.” Markus says, staring pointedly at the bed sheet.

“Am I?” I ask innocently. Challenging. He sighs and grabs the sheet from my hand.

“Now. How the hell is this supposed to work?” I smile, because I know I won.

“Alright. This is how it’s done…”

Chapter 9: Falling

SO. I really like this chapter, because I put a little Annie/ Markus stuffs in there. And I love how she teases him. It amuses me every time I read it. SO. YEAH.

ANYWAYS, I have bad news (for you. for me I'm really excited.). WELL, I was writing chapter 9, and I finished it. Yeah, that's so interesting. WELL, THINK AGAIN. I'm done after next chapter. Hey, hey. Hold your horses. It's not what you think. The next chapter just concludes Annie's part: or Part I. chapter 10 will start off in Markus's pov. And he's going to work his way up to where we end up in the next chapter. Then Part II will be finished. And we switch back to Annie's pov.

SO, she doesn't tell Jason. Shocker, huh? So, who will it be? Ace; or Markus?

Until Next Time!
