Blinded By the Truth

Chapter 7 The New Beginning Derek's POV

"Yes Derek, its me." I heard and felt someone stroke my hair back

"Oh Anna I was so worried about you, and I just couldn't-"

"shhh' she cut me off "Everything is fine now, there's just somethings we have to talk about."

" like what? What did the son of bitch do to you?" I was so angry I could kill someone

"Derek, Dana's dead."Anna said with very little expression and her head down

"What happened?" I asked every moment I had with Dana played in my mind

"Um well these two guys came and they were outside and they wanted money and Derek, well he didn't have it." Anna said it was very blunt I knew there had to be more to the story

"and that's it?'

"Well that's all I heard, I was in the house."

"But did he do anything to you?"

"Derek I don't wanna talk about that right now." She said with a tear starting to roll down my face

"Anna, what happened?' I could tell by the way she was acting there was something more

"I can't tell you Derek, I just can't okay. If I tell you then you won't want to be friends with me anymore." She said with tiny tear drops turning into buckets

"Did you have sex with Dana?" I asked that was the only thing that could make me not want to be friends with her and it also scared me I knew Dana and on one hand he was a douche bag but we wasnt a player by any means she only slept with girls who he actually liked.

Anna started sobbing with her head in her head in her hands I felt horrible there was a pit in my stomach and I had to know why I knew that Dana must have liked her but why would a good, sweet, innocent girl like Anna do this?

"Anna, just tell me," I hesitated not quite sure if I wanted to know anymore "Just tell me why."

"Because Derek he's the only guy whos ever payed any attention to me besides you and I don't know for that little while he made me feel speacial. I realized that Dana wasn't that bad of a person and that he was the way he was because of what he had gone through and maybe, just maybe." she paused

"I could be the one for him to get his life back on track and maybe he would love me the way I've always wanted to be loved."

"I loved you, I always have, and I always will." I said I could feel tears starting to come down my face but I didn't care Anna was my girl and the only one for me and now she knew and I knew she felt the same way back

"Derek it's not the same, I know you, you don't love me in that way. You love me the same way you love Melissa and Jesse and the same way I love Will and Carrie. Its that brother sister love ya know." It broke my heart saying that, but I knew it was true "That kiss was just in the heat of the moment and you did it to calm me down."

"Ha yeah you're probably right, it was nothing." my heart had never felt so broken all I wanted to do was scream I though so many things I thought she was the one 

"Well I'm glad we cleared that up, I'll see you tomorrow." I said with a smile.

"Anna wait there's one more thing you should know." I knew that her reaction would tell me if she had just lied about everything she had just said 

She turned around, I paused trying to find the way to tell her 

"You'll see me tomorrow but it'll be the last time, I'm leaving for Woodward tomorrow and they don't know if I'll be able to come out once I turn eighteen or if I'll have to go to jail."
