Description

Image a n n a b e l l e x c a r o u s e l



She's 16. And yet she's been seeing them for as long as she can remember. Figures that follow her, that laugh at her, that taunt her and tell her to do things she doesn't want to do. She doesnt' know how to make the voices stop. She just wants them to stop! After so many years, she's grown depressed. She hurts herself in an attempt to release the pain she feels every day. But it's never quite enough.

5'6, skinny, not a very large chest. She has thick lips and dull blue eyes. Her hair is black and is often messy. She doesn't pay much attention to her appearance. She doesn't have the energy to. She's unfocused. Confused. Constantly hurting. She doesn't have friends because everyone sees her as strange, and even if she were to have friends, she'd probably push them away.

She lives with her mom and step-dad who both think she's making up her illnesses. She's not allowed to get treated for it. They don't give her medication. She avoids them at all costs. They don't pay attention to if she's gone, so she runs way a lot. She has a lot of strange habits, such as picking her fingernails and clawing herself.

Really, she's just a mess.

So begins...

Kade almost spewed his gulp of coke at the sight of Carter's face when Pendley walked back into the room. The boy was surprisingly innocent, especially for his age. Kade almost felt a sense of protection for the boy, hoping for him to succeed in his chase for love. His attention was drawn away, however, as Annabelle sat snuggly up against him. It was his turn to blush, his cheeks filling with color. "Feeling better?" he asked, producing a false cough in order to cover his cheeks as the color dissipated.

"Hi," Pendley said shortly, her cheeks pink. Noticing how Annabelle sat so close to Kade, she decided to follow suit, though she still placed a few inches between her and Carter.

"Yeah," She said, smiling a little. She unwrapped more of her lunch, taking bigger bites than usual. Being happy made her actually want to eat! Despite what would come soon after, she was going to satisfy her hunger for at least a little while, which was more than she usually accomplished.

Carter tried to casually cover his mouth with his hand, Ugh, do guys do this? Does it look cool?, in an effort to hide his enormously dorky grin from the blonde. Just having her sit closer to him made his insides flutter. "Hi," he said softly.

"Good," Kade said lightly. Oh my god. She was so adorable. Evidentally, the drip to the bathroom with Pendley had been a success. He liked the happy glow she had about her - it was much better than how she'd been that morning.

Carter was behaving different - not that Pendley was complaining. She blushed and looked back down at what was left of the food that Annabelle shared. "How much longer is lunch?" she asked quietly.

The bell rang as soon as Pendley asked the question. "You can eat that during class, if you'd like," Carter said with a wink.

When the bell rang, and to her own surprise, Annabelle stuffed the rest of what she was eating in her mouth. Her cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk. She was probably hungrier than she'd even realized.

"Maybe I will," Pendley replied quietly with a small smile and collected the rest in her hands as she stood.

Kade gave a laugh at Annabelle's chipmunk cheeks. "You're adorable, you know that?" he said with another laugh.

(shall we skip to the end of the school day soon?)

(yess!)

Annabelle's inflated cheeks turned pink, and she chewed and swallowed quickly.

[TIMESKIP!]

Carter had been pondering his entire last hour how he was possibly going to invite Pendley over without sounding like a creep. Truth is, he was full-frontal flipping out. He was tapping his pen and foot all throughout class, much to the dismay of his peers and teacher who chastised him, though he found himself doing it only a few moments afterwards. When the bell rang, he very nearly knocked his desk over.

The rest of the day went by without much of a struggle, though teachers were handing out early assignments left and right. Pendley found her bookbag filled with binders and papers by the end of the last period of school. The bell rang and everyone clambered out through the door, leaving the blonde at the back of the line to get out of the classroom.

On the other side of the hallway, Kade was escaping the hordes of people with little trouble - his height and popularity seemed to make people get out of his way. His eyes fell upon Pendley as she struggled out of the class across the hall. Wading through the students towards her, he provided a shield against the streams of people.

"Looking for Carter?" he asked, leaning in closer so he could speak above the noise.

A simple nod was her response.

"I'm sure he's heading this way. Don't worry too much," he smiled and placed a comforting hand on the top of her head. "I'm going to go collect Annabelle. You stay safe, alright?" Ruffling her hair, he navigated around her and headed towards Annabelle's last class.

"Pendley!" He called, face lighting up as he found her only a minute later. He raised his hand in an effort to get her attention among the swarm of bodies. He made his way towards her, and then gave a friendly smile. He was obviously nervous about something. "So, uh... Do you have a lot of homework?" He asked awkwardly.

Her last class was on the opposite side of the building's as Kade's, sadly. She was also slow in navigating through the hallway, mostly because everyone would simply bump into her without caring.

Pendley looked up at the sound of her name, relieved to see that Carter had successfully navigated the ocean of students. Her head tilted at his question. "Yeah, a lot," she replied quietly.

Kade finally found Annabelle's dark hair in the swarm of students. Picking up his pace, he weaved through the students and finally caught up to her, his hand finding her shoulder. "Hey, sorry I'm late," he said with a huff.

"Do you wanna... um..." His hand brushed the back of his neck, his cheeks turning pink. "Do you wanna do your homework? I mean, with me. At my house. Uh..." He bit the inside of his cheek. This wasn't going well at all. "Like... wanna come over and... do.... homework....."

She smiled instantly when he came into contact with her. They had begun to return while he was gone. "You're not late," She reassured him. "Right on time."

"At your house?" Pendley repeated, a little flustered by his question. She ran a hand through her golden locks, chewing her lip in embarrassment. "I'm, um..." she paused in discomfort "not allowed to hang out with friends..." Her chest felt heavy and her heart hurt. "My dad... he's a little strict." She gave a weak smile, eyes on the ground.

Kade let out a sigh of relief. "Good," he replied wholeheartedly. "By the way, did you drive here? Or do you want a ride home? I've got nowhere to be and I'd love to give you a lift back to your place."

"Oh," He said, trying to mask his disappointment, not wanting to upset her further. "Alright then. I'll stay with you until you have to go."

"I normally walk," She said, a large smile spreading across her face. "But, um, we don't have to go to my house right away..." She trailed off. She had no idea where she was going with this, and this was so far out of her comfort zone, but she didn't want to leave him.

Pendley tugged at her sleeves habitually, becoming stressed by the situation. "Sorry," she said quietly. "Um, my dad is already here. So, um... I'll see you later." Chest aching, she turned and fled down the hallway towards the front of the building.

"Oh, okay," Kade said with a grin. "Well, we could go to the park, or to the library, or my house," he listed, searching for something that would perk her interest.

He watched her go, lifting his hand in a silent goodbye. His heart sank. He stood all alone in the hallway, people passing him, not giving him a second look.

"Surprise me?" She asked, excitement fluttering in her chest. Wow, this was the first time she'd looked forward to anything in so long! It was an amazing feeling for her.

Pendley's dad was waiting in the front of the car line - as usual. She slunked towards the car as quick as she could drag her legs. Once there, she jumped into the passenger's seat, eyes on the carpeted floor of the vehicle.

"How was school?"

She had to force herself not to shake. To look strong. Not to cry. "It was good, father," she replied.

"Did you make any friends?"

"No, father." Though he seemed satisfied by her response, her heart felt heavy by the lie, as if just saying the words would destroy her new friendships from afar.


Kade felt excitement run through him. "Alright then," he said, feeling giddy. He gently took her hand, pulling her along with him towards the student parking lot.

Her cheeks turned bright red. Warmth shot from his touch all the way through her, and her heart picked up speed. She'd never held hands with a boy before. They felt warm and strong. She grasped them lightly, following him without speaking.

Once home, Pendley was confined to her room. She sat in the corner with her phone, staring blankly at it and the piece of folded paper with Carter's number on it. It took her a while to actually punch in the number and finally text "hi" and once she had, she anxiously waited for a response.


Kade led Annabelle to his truck in the middle of the student lot, being careful to keep her out of the paths of other cars. He curved around to the side of the car and held open the passenger's door for her, smiling politely. "After you, milady."

He was in his backyard, laying down in the grass under the shade of a tree. The smell of grass was intoxicating to him. He heard his phone buzz beside him, buried beneath the green blades, and she picked it up. He smiled big, knowing immediately who it was.
Hey :]

She laughed at the name. "Thank you," She replied in a sophisticated tone before getting in the truck. It felt warm and comforting, strangely enough.

Her phone's text notification alarmed her. It was a sound she wasn't used to as she never texted anyone. The little smiley face that was included in the text made Pendley smile lightly.
Sorry for earlier

Kade rounded the car and jumped into the driver's side. After reversing the car, he drove towards the center of town, knowing exactly where he was headed.

He found himself staring at his phone's screen and waiting for a reply after his text had been sent. He opened the text immediately upon arrival. He frowned slightly.
Hey, don't sweat it. We have a long life ahead of us!
Okay, ironic.
I'm really happy we met.

Annabelle caught herself watching Kade while he drove. She focused on specific features of his. The way his nose curved, how big his eyebrows were, stuff like that. And she found that with each new detail she discovered, it was a new thing she found she really, really liked.
