The Choices We Make (Sequel to Blank Space)

Chapter 3: So Far Yet So Close

Ana's p.o.v.

I drove to the hospital where Dean was at. I quickly excited the car and look for James.

"Hey James!" I said running to him.

"Oh hey.." he said not quite surprised.

"Where's Dean?" I said crossing my arms.

"That's what we're trying to figure out right now." he said a he fixed his eyes on the clipboard he was carrying.

I snatched it away from him and looked him in the eye.

"So I guess you guys don't have security cameras?" I asked.

He blushed of embarrassment since he forgot about the security cameras as I face-palmed. He led to to the control room, which was also known as the very-cheap-security-camera-place-room. He rewinded the tapes.

"Stop.. there." I said as I starred at the image.

It was Dean on a wheel chair, being pushed by.. Roman? Did Dean agree to this? I got the computer mouse and clicked another footage from outside. It was Dean and Roman in a car, well, getting in a car, and drove north. I stopped it and tried to exit the door to look for Dean and Roman but James grabbed my arm.

"Ana, it's 11:38 p.m. I'm pretty sure you shouldn't go look for them." he said letting go of my arm gently.

I looked outside ready to leave, but I realized that he was right. It was too late.

"Please, let me take you to my apartment." he said sweetly.

"After all, we are basically best friends." I continued.

I sighed.

"Fine." I said heading for his car, leaving the rented one alone.

He unlocked his car and opened the door for me.

"Thanks." I said putting my purse to the side.

"No problem." he said closing the door, and entering from the other side.

James' p.o.v.

I started driving to my apartment until we reached a red light. I turned around to see Ana's sad face expression. I can tell that she was worried for Dean and Roman. Moonlight shines off her face as I admired it, but remembered she's Dean's fiancé. I've had a crush on her since sixth grade, but we've always stayed friends since I was a coward and never made a move, and regret every moment of it. We arrived and so I got off my car and opened the door for Ana. I unlocked the door for her as she entered.

"Not much but.."

"It's fine" she said through a smile.

I smiled back and led her to where she was sleeping.

"You can sleep on my bed, don't worry, I'm sleeping on the couch."

"Thanks." she said putting her bag on the ground.

Since she didn't have pjs on her she had to sleep in her regular clothes. She fell asleep the moment her face touched the pillow. I smiled and went to my couch and dozed off to sleep.
