Closer To Me

Docks

I sit up to see the bed empty- a smudge of Anna's mascara the only trace of her left on my crisp white pillow.


“Great,” I mumble as I pull some shorts on, fixing my hair in the mirror- rubbing the sleep dust from my eyes, which battle to stay open as the light pierces in through the gap in my curtains.


I walk downstairs, waddling as my legs get used to carrying me for another day. Unfortunately my wish for the ground to just open up and swallow me whole last night hasn't been granted, but at least Anna ran off before I had to face her in the morning.


I walk through the living room and jump as I see Jack, Zack and Rian sat at my breakfast bar as Anna serves them drinks.


“O-oh...” I stutter, my heart pounding as I see Anna looking at me. “Why are you guys here?”


“Uh, well you're the one that invited us to your party, man...” Zack laughs, spinning on his stool.


“Anna's been the one caring for us when it's meant to be her party, poor show,” Rian shakes his head, throwing an oreo at me from the packet in his hand.


“Shut up, fat ass,” I groan, finally starting to wake up. “Wait... What's the time?”


“Like.. 5.30pm,” Anna laughs, walking over and handing me a much needed coffee and a kiss on the cheek.


“Why didn't you wake me up?” I whine, grabbing skinnies and a shirt from the dryer, dressing in the kitchen so I can talk to everyone.


“Well you were tossing and turning all night, you clearly needed the sleep,” Anna blushes as Jack gives her a slight smirk.


“No, Jack. It didn't happen,” I mumble, protective of Anna who is blushing in shame.


“What didn't?” Zack asks, being nosey as we all make our way to my lounge.


“Jack thinks I had sex with Anna,” I sigh, sitting down- even thinking about the embarassment making me cringe.


“Well it's about time you did. You're like a couple any way,” Rian laughs sitting on the couch with Zack and Jack.


Anna smiles, stood in a vest and booty shorts- still managing to look amazing with her long black hair pulled back from her face into a messy bun. She sits on my lap as I sit in my Dad's armchair, lacing her hands with mine- her way of showing that she's okay with me.


“I could say the same about Zack and Jack,” Anna winks at the two men sat next to each other, changing the subject.


“We're working on it,” Zack blushes as he holds around Jack's waist- allowing the taller, skinny boy to nuzzle into his chest.


“Well so are we,” I cut in, feeling more comfortable when the attention isn't on us.


“Whatever,” Jack giggles- his voice muffled by Zack's chest.


“I'm going to get dressed for our little party, guys. I may be some time,” Anna yawns, exposing her skin as she stands up and stretches. “I want to talk to you before everyone arrives though, Lex...”


I look up at her with anxious eyes, instantly soothed by her loving smile.


“Normal place?” I blush as the other three study us and mumble amongst themselves.


“Always,” she mouths, giving me a cuddle and inhaling my scent before she disappears.


I watch her run upstairs- hardly making a noise on my slightly creaky stairs, her trot being dainty, unlike the way she presents herself.


“Uh, just entertain yourselves, put some music on, eat chips and chill out. Rian, you're in charge,” I instruct, grabbing my hoodie.


Rian salutes me and takes Jack to work out the sound system.


I slip on my hi-tops and make my way down my long, thin back yard, going out the back gate which leads straight onto the docks where Anna and I have spent many hours putting the world to rights. I jump down and sit on the edge of the unstable wooden structure, which is long over due to be fixed. I dangle my legs down, laughing as they dangle inches from the water. I turn to my right- half expecting to see Anna sat staring at the sky, like she always does when we're here. In her usual place sits a well-worn slat of wood with 'AWG+AIS'. I trace is with my fingers, sighing slightly.


Nothing can ever be the same after what happened. How could it be?


I sit, staring into the water for what seems like a few seconds before Anna joins me in a tight black dress which goes down to her knees- accompanied by red heels.


“Wow, you look... Girly,” I say, my mouth open in shock.


“Well, I am a girl... So I guess that's good, right?” Anna blushes, sitting next to me, swinging her legs off of the side.


“I-” I start, after an awkward pause.


“No, please... Let me talk,” she smiles weakly, cupping my hand. I shrug, more than happy to stop making a fool of myself.


“Last night should have happened. We're nearly eighteen, Lex. Let's face it, it should have happened a long time ago, and we both know it. I regret stopping you in some ways...But I want to tell my friends I lost it to my boyfriend- not my best friend. I want us to be something more, and I know you're always telling me about how you don't think you'll ever have a girlfriend, or get married or have kids, but that's fine. I don't want to get married or have kids either, but I do want a boyfriend, and I want someone who treats me as well as you do. I don't just want you to be my best friend, Lex... But it's up to you.”


I toy with my woven friendship bracelet that Anna made me for my birthday and take it off, handing it to her, ready to make my own dramatic speech telling her how I really feel. I bite my lip as I see tears in her eyes when she grips the bracelet in her hands, assuming the worst.


“Anna, I-” I start, interrupted by Jack rushing over.


“Dude, half the football team have crashed your party. It's chaos,” Jack chokes, catching his breath from all the running.


“W-what?” I ask, looking confused as my brain processes the information. “Shit...”


I turn and look at a crying Anna, my heart sinking “Anna, I'll be back in 2 minutes, okay? Wait here.”


“Take as long as you want, douchebag,” she spits, standing up, throwing the bracelet on the ground, walking away.


I sigh and go to chase after her- only Jack pulling me back to remind me that our house is getting trashed.


Anna's POV.

I walk to the other end of the docks, going into my favourite coffeeshop, ordering a large coffee to calm my rage.


I poured my heart out to Alex. What else did he want? I did everything I could, and he just turned around a left. I knew I should have listened to him when he said he couldn't deal with the thought of commitment, because now I know I've thrown away more than ten years of friendship.


“Americano?” Matt, the coffeshop owener asks- knowing my usual.


“Yes, please,” I sniffle, wiping my face.


“Where's Alex?” The 30-something-year-old man asks, running his hands through his gelled up black hair.


“I don't know. Probably at his party being a pig...” I mumble.


“Trouble in paradise?” He teases, handing me my drink in a take-away cup, knowing I can never stay mad for long.


“He doesn't like me like I like him, Matt... I just made myself look like a dick,” I sigh, sitting at the bar.


“Alex? Not liking you? Ha!” He laughs, drying up cups with his apron. “From the first time you came in here when you were eight and ordered your little chocolate milkshake to share, I knew you'd end up together. I don't believe in soulmates, but if I did- I'd put you two under the dictionary definition.”


“You think?” I ask hopefully, looking up through my thick, black hair.


“Think so? I know so,” Matt winks “And that's why I gave you a cup to go. I want you to leave right now and sort it out, okay? Don't you dare come back until it's sorted, Anna.”


“I won't,” I assure, standing up, taking off my heels so I can run “thanks, Matt.”


I rush out, discarding my drink in the trash, giving Matt an apologetic look as I rush down the docks in bare feet, expecting Alex to be sat there like a moody toddler.


As I arrive I see a larger boy in his place. I wouldn't know his name even if I cared to try to remember it. All I know him as is the huge linebacker from the school's football team. He's not one of the popular players who gets off on making other people's lives hell, though.


I sit next to him, seeing him playing with Alex's bracelet that I threw on the floor.


“Oh, sorry, can I have that?” I ask, politely.


He snatches the item away as soon as I say I actually want it. “Fuck off,” he barks in his deep voice.


“Look, I'm really not in the mood, okay? That's Alex's bracelet, I'm pissed off enough that your dumb ass friends crashed my party, so I wouldn't mess with me, okay?”


“My dumb ass friends?” He asks, raising his eyebrows and standing up to intimidate me.


“Yes,” I stands up too, only reaching his chest “So I want my friend's bracelet back.”


He looks into myeyes and smirks, throwing it into the water, watching smugly as it sinks out of sight.


“You asshole!” I shout, losing my temper properly for the first time in my life. I grab the 6 foot 5 inch linebacker and try to shove him- not even making him wobble.


He grabs me, shoving me to the floor- my dress ripping from behind as I scrape across a rock.


“Your friend isn't here to help you now, is he?” He smirks, pinning my arms behind my back so I can't move- my face pressed against the decying wooden plank where Alex and I usually sit. If you scream, I'll kill you.”


Screaming is the last thing that enters my mind as I feel my panties being removed and the weight of the muscular man falling onto my back- crushing me to the point where each breath is a struggle.


“P-please...” I whimper “It's for Alex.”


“What? Your virginity? Ha! You should have thought about that before you shoved me. You had this coming. Where's your precious Gaskarth now?”


I burst into silent tears as I feel him break my hymen as if it were nothing. I look down, seeing the clear water speckled with drops of my blood, dripping down. I shut off, my mind blanking as I close my eyes- pretending it's all a bad dream, and that my Alex will come and save me and whisper comforting words in my ear.
