Author's Chapter Notes:
Nick is in this chapter but only some of it more of Nick and Anna in the next chapter but not a whole lot but it gets better than this trust me
Anna was walking to her 4th period class when this guy Ryan ran up to her she noticed this and smiled “Ryan....unless you want to get thrown in jail I suggest you leave me the hell alone” she said calmly and started to walk faster to get away from him but he walked faster to keep up with her in the past he’s done all sorts of things to her and her friends thankfully when Eric started the same school as her Ryan left her and her friends alone cause he was afraid of him “I didn’t do anything though” Anna laughed and stopped to look at him “not yet anyway...dude, Eric’s in my 4th period class and if you want the crap beaten out of you that’s fine by me but if you do anything to me so help me I will press charges against you for all the crap you did to me last year and you even just talking to me isn’t allowed and remember my cousin is a cop so I’d be careful if I was you” she said with a smirk
He shook his head “no, your lying....your smiling which means your lying”
Anna giggled “wow you’re more of an idiot then I thought” she said
Now Ryan was pissed he grabbed her arm holding onto it tightly “you know I don’t take too kindly to rudeness” he said angrily
Anna glared at him “yea well I don’t really care now let me go!” she said trying to get of his grip then saw Eric with his friends heading for class she grinned just having an idea she bite Ryan’s arm and ran but he caught her by her wrist she yelled for him but got punched for that Eric turned around hearing that him and his friends ran towards them Eric dropped his stuff and punched Ryan in the jaw sending him to the ground “now, stay the hell away from her!” he almost yelled he picked up his stuff the teachers came out Anna explained to them what happened with Eric by her side Anna was about to walk into class but stopped when she saw Nick and Aaron come around the corner she grinned dropped her stuff and was about to run over them when Eric caught her by the waist “class first....then you can see your pretty boyfriend” he said with a smirk and grabbing her stuff he opened the door “ladies first” he said still smirking
When Anna went in the lights were off so Eric turned them on then heard everyone yelled “SURPRISE!!”
Anna jumped back bumped into something almost falling over she laughed as Eric grabbed her arms to steady her then Nick and Aaron entered the classroom
Vanessa went over to Anna “so tell me, why were you late...you two lovers makin out?” she asked Anna burst out laughing “umm no, just uh one word: Ryan” she said
“Ugly Ryan or cute Ryan?” Vanessa asked Eric stood there confused which made and Vanessa giggle “Ugly Ryan the one who did all that stuff to us last year” Anna answered
“1st of all he’s not allowed to talk to us much less go anywhere near us and 2nd of all where the hell was Eric?! He’s supposed to be around between class to make sure that Ryan doesn’t go anywhere near you!” Vanessa said angrily she was pissed at Eric for not walking Anna to class
Anna smiled “dude, chill Eric wanted to hang with his friends so I let him but him and his friends came to my rescue well just him and his friends were there if he needed him you shoulda seen it! I called for him so help me so Ryan wouldn’t let go for me well he wouldn’t let go of me so I bite him I tried to run but he caught me anyway I saw Eric I called for him and he came over and punched him and then he’s like ‘now, stay the hell away from her!!’” she explained giggling on the last part just then she felt a pair of arms around her neck which made her jump a little she looked up and saw Nick she gave him a quick kiss and smiled up at him “Soo, did ya miss me?” she asked turning around to face him he nodded with that look in his eyes and Anna knew exactly what he wanted she giggled “hmm sorry no can do not at school” she said hugging him
Nick held her tightly “you okay?” he asked worried Anna nodded “just tired it’s been a long day stressful and plus having my diskman broken didn’t help” she answered Nick say anything he just rested his chin on top of her head and listened to the song that was playing it didn’t reorganize the band but liked it

“....Take me under your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in your eyes
Hold on cause it will be alright
You’re not alone

When you’re near me, I feel like I just found me
In the traces of the boy from yesterday
But in a world that is so black and white
I will take the steps to change my life
And I won’t be coming back to here again

I need your loving hand to guide me
Through the maze of all the things inside me
Then I’ll know that I’m alright

Cause I need you more than ever
I need your help to find where I’ll be going wrong so far....”

Nick gave Anna a kiss on the neck then rested his chin on her shoulder and wrapping his arms around her “I like this song...who’s singing?” he asked Anna grinned “Hawk Nelson...my favourite band” she said he smiled “I never heard of them” Anna giggled “good” she said then waited for Nick for loosen his grip a few minutes past and he still hadn’t loosen the tight grip he had on her Anna looked up at Nick “Nicky?” she said hearing Anna’s voice broke Nick from his thoughts “uhh yes?” he asked she kissed him deeply “you think you can let go of me?” she asked
Nick smirked “not a chance baby girl” he said with the stupidest smirk on his face Anna shook her head “well in that case I’ll kiss your brother” she said with a playful grin Nick shook his head “you wouldn’t” he said praying that she wouldn’t Anna grinned “watch me....Aaron!” she called Aaron ran over the second he heard her call
He smiled at her “you called” he said smiling
Anna grinned “yes...because I want to give you something” she said smiling
Aaron smiled “which is?” he asked
Anna grinned lend up and kissed his lips softly but not too soft after a few seconds she quickly pulled back leaving Aaron speechless as she walked away

Then felt an arm around her neck she over and saw Justin she knew him but they weren’t really friends “can I help you?” she asked with a smile knowing she just proved Nick wrong
Justin shrugged “you still the keeper of secrets?” he asked Anna nodded “why? You got a secret you wanna tell?” he nodded “but could we go someplace and just talk without all of the people around?” he asked quietly and something told her this was the biggest secret yet
Anna gave him a smile “sure...just let me tell Mrs. Ireland” she said after telling her teacher she left with Justin they went the nearest set of stairs and he sat down on the stairs with his head down with Anna standing in front of him after a few minutes tears came into his eyes he looked up at her “my mom died of cancer last year....and since then life as I know it is dead. My life is like a living hell my dad blames me for her dying he said that I made her do to much which I didn’t she did it on her own she wanted to enjoy the time she had left but instead most of her time was spent with my dad fighting over treatments in order for her to get well...she didn’t want any of that all she wanted was to spend the time her reminding time with the ones she loved she never got that much of a chance since my dad got her declared legally insane she went to one of those hospitals’ not too long after she died then my dad started to beat me every night and took his stress his anger all of that out of me and still does but now he’s taken it a step father which is making me have sex with him and he does stuff to me that I never knew existed and I wish I didn’t know” by the time he was done not only was he crying but Anna was too Anna hugged him trying her best to calm him down after a few more minutes she heard clam, even breathes Justin now had his head on her lap he was done crying but he just laid there Anna look down at him as she was now rubbing his arm “it’s okay....your secret is safe with me I’m not gonna go to the police or anyone else but anytime you want to talk just call my cell I’ll give you the number once we get back to class” she said
Justin lifted his head and nodded “sorry for telling you this on your birthday but I just couldn’t wait any longer” he said as he stood up
Anna smiled “its okay...I don’t mind” she said
Justin smiled at her “so, tell me does the keeper of secrets of her own?” he asked out of curiosity
Anna grinned at him “yep” she said as she opened the door
Justin smirked “so, do you care to share?” he asked as he walked through the door
Anna smiled at him “not in this lifetime” she said following him
Justin laughed “hmm smart girl no one listens or even cares for that matter” he said sadly
Anna stopped looked at him “well, I care....” she said with a warm smile
He grinned and hugged her “thanks” he said rather shyly
Anna giggled at his shyness but thought it was cute “now, you have to get back to class and I have to get back to my party” she said smiling
He nodded “I will” he said and started running towards his class
And then Anna went to class once she got back she was greeted with a big kiss from Nick.
