Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ Untitled Until Further Notice ❯ Teddy Bear ( Chapter 1 )
[ A - All Readers ]
This is one of my first attempts at this so please be nice. All of the characters in this story are mearly figments of my imagination. It's kinda short because it's sort of an exeriment...well any ways here's the first chapter, so enjoy, I guess.
Chapter 1
I stood among the heaps of clothing that I had just thrown onto the floor. My favorite shirt was no where to be seen. I had looked in my drawers, in both of my closets, and even the dirty clothes hamper to make sure that I hadn't already worn it. Suddenly it hit me, it was in Robert's room. I cleared three piles of clothes and ran out of the door as quickly as I could. I ran all the way down the hall to the last room on the right and slammed the door open.
"Robert Samuel Price! Where in the world is my Evanescence shirt!" I screeched. Robby and his two friends jumped up because of the unexpected intrusion. They had been playing some stupid Xbox 360 game that I didn't understand the point to.
"Go away you little brat! I don't know where your stupid shirt is!" Robby yelled back at me. I know he said he didn't know where it was, but since when did I start taking his word for anything? Never. So I scanned the room. My eyes landed on a black shirt with the Evanescence logo on it. Unfortunately, Robby's friend, Chase, was sitting on it. Marching towards the blond 16 year old, I just stood there, waiting for him to take the hint. He didn't.
"Yes Alanna, can I help you?" he said with mock innocence. He knew good and well that he was sitting on the shirt that I was looking for.
"Yea Chase, you can. For starters, get off of my shirt, and then, why don't you do us all a favor and go away." I said glaring down at him. He was so annoying. I have known him my whole life and he hasn't taken the hint yet; I really just wish he would go away!
"Aw, but Alan, then you wouldn't have anybody to write about in your journal. I mean, it just wouldn't be the same if you wrote, 'I love Hayden' over and over again." Chase said. Hayden, the brunette that was sitting right next to him, was Robby's other friend.
"You're right Chase, it just wouldn't be the same. I mean the change is to drastic. Going from, 'I hate Chase', to, 'I love Hayden'. the shock would be too much!" I said with a smirk firmly in place. Hayden and Robby couldn't repress their laughter at my joke; Chase, lifting himself up, threw my shirt at me.
As I caught it, I couldn't help but laugh triumphantly at my victory. Chase was so easy to win against. I would have stayed longer to joke around, but the phone began to ring, so I ran all the way to the living room just in time to pick it up on the last ring.
"Hello?" I said into the receiver.
"Alan?" Charity, my best friend, said into the phone.
"Yep, do you know anybody else with a voice as beautiful as mine?"
"No. Everybody I know has a much more beautiful voices."
"Owch! That hurts my heart." I replied to Charity's joke.
"Well anyways, I was just calling to see if you were ready to go to the concert yet."
"Not yet, but nearly. I had to get my shirt back from my brother. Next time I buy a shirt at a concert, remind me not to buy one that my brother can wear too!" I said into the phone with a laugh.
"Yea. So, are you going to wear that shirt. 'Cause if you are, I'll wear mine too!"
"Nah, you're brother's butt was all over it, so I think I'm just gonna go stick it in the wash and wear a different one." I said balling my shirt up and leaving it on our couch. "Hey, I'm gonna go get ready, so I'll see ya when you get here ok?"
"Yea, see ya!" Charity said, right before I hung the phone up.

The concert was better than I had expected, we didn't get back until one o'clock and I was dead tired when I got to my room. I didn't even notice the fact that there was something in my bed. Actually, someone.
"ANTHONY CHASE! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING IN MY ROOM? FOR THAT MATTER, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING IN MY BED!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I was tired and he definately wasn't helping me get to sleep by taking up space n my bed.
"I just decided that I want to be you're teddy bear tonight!" Chase said, a trace of a smile on his face.
"I didn't know that they made teddy bears that I ugly." I said. It was a lie. If he had been a teddy bear, he would have been the cutest teddy bear in the world. Not that I would tell him that. He could barely fit through the garage door because of his ego as it was, it didn't need to get any bigger.
"Aw, come on now Allie, that hurts!" he said in mock pain, using the nick name that I despised.
"I'm sure. Look, I don't really like bears that much anyways, so will you just get out of my room?" I said in the whiniest voice I could manage. Childish I know, but I was tired and not in the mood to fight.
"Okay, I will, but only on one condition." Chase said, a grin was occupying his face so I knew he was up to something.
Wait a second, I read way too many books not to know what he's about to ask for. He's gonna ask for a kiss! I thought, my heart rate doubled and suddenly, I wasn't so sleepy.
"Really? What's the condition?" I said with a surprisingly level voice.
"I want a kiss!" He said, and, if it were possible, his grin brooadened.
I knew it. Well, I'm defintiely not going to give him what he wants, that would break our fifteen year old tradition. I thought as Chase began to close the distance between us. Right as our lips were about to touch I decided it was time to say something. "You know, I never knew that you were so easy to get rid of, if I had have, I would have kissed you way before now!"
It had the desired effect. Not able to stop himself, Chase began to laugh.
"Yea, okay, you win. G'night Alan." He said still chuckling. Unfortunately, he didn't completely give up on the kiss. Instead, he just kissed my cheek and got up to leave the room.
I realized that he had never really told me the reason that he was in my room. Oh well, I'll ask tomorrow. I thought. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was sleeping like a rock.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, did you hate it, love it, think it was ok? Just tell me if you see any mistakes or any improvements I can make, that will be much appreciated. Hopefully I didn't do too horribly, well any ways, please review. And don't worry, I will eventually think of a title.
