What Will It Take?

Chapter 1

Anthony's Pov:

"Come on. Pleeeeaaaaase." my best friend Bryana pleaded. "No I don't want to." I told her the same answer I did for the past 5 minutes.

"You don't understand how many people would love to hear you sing. Your video could go viral and you probably would get signed to a record label!" She said trying to convince me.

Oops let's rewind for a minute. Hey my name is Anthony. It's summer time and I just finished my Junior year of high school. I live in Miami, Florida.

I'm known as the jock of the school because I'm the captain of the basketball and football team.

But anyways, we were hanging out at her house and we're just talking and laughing and what not. "Wanna watch a movie and cuddle?" She asked with puppy eyes. "Of course." I say to her while I gestured toward her living room.

She sat down on the couch and I followed behind her and sat next to her. We searched for movies and decided to watch a scary movie. Our decision was to watch Annabelle. Bryana curled up next to me into a little ball. I put my arm around her and held her close as if I was protecting her.

When the doll started moving Bryana jumped and hid her face in the crook of my neck. I wasn't really that scared of movies but this kind of freaked me out. It was a doll for fucks sake. Pardon my French...

Once the movie was over it was around 11 pm and I swear my parents are going to kill me once I step foot into my house. It'll be fine. They'll understand why I came home late. Maybe.

"Let me tuck you into bed before I leave" I told my beloved best friend. I carried her bridal style up the stairs all the way to her room because she made me. I laid her down carefully and covered her with blankets. And hugged her goodbye.

"I'll see you later." I told her while waving and walking towards the door. "Wait come here." She called out. I walked towards her and gave her a confused look. She told me to come further and I honestly thought she was gonna kiss me but instead she kissed my cheek. I just smiled.

I left her room and shut the door quietly. I went outside and got into my Audi a5 and put my key in the ignition and left.

It was about to be 12 am when I entered my house and I slowly shut the door and walked quietly up the stairs to my room and unfortunately I got caught.

"Where do you think you're going mister?" My mom asked when I barely touched my door knob to enter my room.

"To my room?" I asked. She immediately got irritated with me. "Obviously. But where were you all night?" My very concerned mother asked. "I went to hangout with Bryana, mom" I told her.

"We we're watching a movie and then I lost track of time" I explained to her. "I promise it won't happen again" I also told her. "It better not, go to bed" she demanded. Before I walked into my room I smirked.

"Goodnight mom" I said before shutting my door knowing that she was upset with me. "Goodnight honey" she answered. Surprisingly I thought she was going to snap at me. I went to take a shower in my bathroom and put on boxers and black shorts since I was too lazy to put a shirt on.

I played some video games with some friends and then went to sleep.

"Anthony"

"Anthony"

"Anthonyyyyyy" I heard my sister, Vanessa call before I actually woke up.

"What Nessa" I answered half asleep. "Come with me to the mall" she begged me. "For what? What time is it?" I asked rubbing my eyes. "It's around 1" she answered my question. "What the fuck, I thought it was earlier. Whatever. Fine. Just give me like half an hour" I told her.
