It was a couple of days until Halloween, Annie heard screams coming from Laurie's bedroom like she was being murdered. Quickley she ran into her room and seen her friend tossing and turning. She turned on the light and ran over to the bed and grabbed Laurie. This woke her up as she started swinging her arms around as if she was fighting her off. When she finally realized where she was she settled down and start crying, complaining that she couldn't do anything, not even sleep.
Annie climbed in bed with her, wrapped her arms around there and laid there rocking back in forth with her trying her best to comfort her obviously horrified friend. As the 2 of them laid there Laurie reminded herself that that is why her and Annie used to be so close and in Annie's mind they still were. But it seemed like Laurie couldn't remember why most of the time. She thought of Annie as a reminder of what happened that Halloween night. As if it were her fault and seeing Annie everyday made it difficult to live with herself, seeing Annie's scars.
But lying there in Bed with Annie comforting her she remembered that they weren't friends, they were more like sisters and no matter what they couldn't live without each other. They truly loved each other. It was a love that neither understood. But it was a love that they both needed, It comforted Annie knowing that Laurie needed her and it comforted Laurie knowing that Annie would always be there for her.
Later on Annie went down and cooked breakfast while her dad, the sheriff of Haddonfield, hurried out the door and on his way to work. Laurie sat down at the table watching Annie finish cooking their breakfast she remembered one of her last memories of that night, Annie talking about the homecoming dance that was coming up. She told Laurie that she needed a boyfriend, Laurie replied "I don't need a boyfriend," Annie responded by acting like she was having sex with Laurie by pushing her up against the wall and humping her as she repeated herself and they both busted out laughing.
She was thinking about that and about Annie holding her and she wasn't sure why, but for some reason it was kind of turning her on. The more she thought about it the more down she got, thinking about how she was still a virgin and almost 20 years old. Laurie had gone from a good school girl that was going to go to college but instead barely graduated from high school all because this fucking guy she don't even know decided he would kill her family and all her friends. Nice life she thought to herself.
As she sat there and ate her mind wondered back to Annie, and how many boyfriends Annie had when she was in high school and that just made her feel even worse especially considering that Michael Myers had killed her most recent boyfriend Paul that night. He had also killed their other friend Linda and her boyfriend as well. She often thought of that night and how unfair it was that it happened to her.
But she was very thankful to have a friend like Annie, even though she didn't show it. A friend who took her in and treated her like family as she struggled through her fucked up life. Laurie was feeling very depressed and very angry as she started to talk to Annie, she told her that she didn't want to see her therapist anymore and she confessed that the only person that she truly wanted to talk to was Annie. She said that she wanted to talk to her but she didn't care what she had to say. Annie gave her a heartbroken look and told her that she would listen to every word of it.
