You Saved Me (A Dana Vaughns Fanfic)

Chapter 18

DANA'S POV

"Dana let's go eat. I'm starved." Jessica whines. "Oh my god what is Megan Ramirez wearing? Ew is that her date? He looks like some bum she picked up off the street. Why are they playing this song? I hate this song."

All I've been hearing is her complaining about everything as we sit at one of the decorated tables for the last 30 minutes that we've been here. I didn't want to take her to the dance and this is why! I seriously can't take it anymore.

"Carmen knows she cannot dance why is she even trying? Oh my god did you just see-"

"Jess?" I interrupt her.

"Yes Dana?"

"Where are all your friends? Don't you want to spend time with them?"

"Oh yeah. You don't mind?"

"No not at all. Go have fun. I'm not in the mood to dance anyway."

"Alright I'll be back though." Jessica gets up and sashays away.

I roll my eyes. If I have to hear one more of her comments about what somebody is wearing I think I might scream.

"Yooo!" Cole dances over to where I'm seated with Laura at his heels.
"Bro why do you look miserable? You're supposed to be having fun!"

I glare at him. "You expect me to have fun when Jessica is my date?"

"Well yeah!"

"You have got to be kidding me."

"Oh come on Dana. Don't be a Debbie downer. She's not that bad." Laura says.

"You're right she's not bad, she's awful! But anyways are you guys having fun?" I ask.

"This is the best dance evaaaaaa!" Laura squeals. "Look me and Cole took pictures in the photo booth." She whips out the strip of pictures and shows it to me.

"Nice."

"Hey hey party people!" David comes over to us with Magda.

"Hey David, Magda. You guys having fun?" Cole asks them.

"So much fun!" Magda exclaims taking at seat.

"I'm going to go get you some punch babe okay?" David says to Magda.

"Alright thanks!"

I roll my eyes again. He called her babe. Again. What are they now a couple or something?

"So Dana where's Jessica?" Magda turns to me after David's gone.

"Dancing with her friends somewhere."

"And why aren't you with her?"

"Because I don't want to be. Why do you care?"

"I don't care! I actually couldn't care less!" She raises her voice a little.

"Okay then don't ask me about something you don't care about!" I snapped getting really annoyed.

"I was just trying to-"

"Alright how about we talk about something that we all care about?" Cole interrupts.

"Yeah like who's going to get crowned king and queen this year." Laura adds.

"I don't care about that." Magda says.

I snort. "Why because you would never be voted as queen?"

Cole and Laura gasp while Magda glares at me.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean it Magda." Why did I says that? Magda is so beautiful, I didn't mean it at all.

She gets up from the table. "Thanks for telling me how you really feel. You know I am so stupid to think that I could ever like someone like you." She walks away but not to look for David, instead she walk out of the dance and into the dark hallway.

"Bro that was uncalled for." Cole shakes his head at me.

"Yeah? Well so is being forced to go to a dance with the most terrible person alive while my bandmate gets to take the girl that I am in love with to the dance!" I get up and hurry out of the gym to follow Magda.
I roam around the hallway looking for her.
What has gotten into me? I never meant to hurt Magda but I was just a little jealous at the thought of David and Magda might like each other. I call myself subtly hinting that I like her but I guess she just doesn't feel the same way. And now I have push any feelings for her aside because we will never be.

After circling the school trying to look for Magda I end up right back where I started and decide to go outside to get some fresh air.

The chilly air hits my face as I step outside. Suddenly I hear sniffling, turning to a nearby bench I spot a glint of Magda's gold heels in the dark of night. She stops crying and looks away as I take a seat next to her. Neither of us says a word.

Soon a gust of wind blows, leaving Magda shivering. I take my suit jacket off and wrap it around her shoulders.

"No it's okay. I don't-" Magda starts to remove my jacket.

"You need it more than I do. I don't want you to get sick." I say pressing it back on her shoulders.

"Thanks."

Another awkward silence. I have so many things to say but I'm not sure which to say first.
I clear my throat nervously. "I'm so sorry Magda. I never meant what I said back there. I practically called you ugly, which you are the opposite. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I never really noticed you before we met at the beach but I am so glad we did meet. You are so sweet, funny, and adorable. Everything you do just makes me smile everyday. Having you in my life is the best thing that's ever happened to me. So I got really jealous that you came to the dance with David. The truth is I love you Magdalena. I love you so much it hurts everyday that you're not mine. And I know that you don't feel the same way but I just had to-"

Suddenly I feel her lips crash into mine. I was surprised at first but quickly wrap my arms around her, pulling her closer to me.

She pulls away suddenly and gazes at me. I can see her cheeks glistening with tears.

"I love you too Dana." She whispers.

"Y-you what?" I utter in disbelief.

"I love you. I've loved for a long time now."

I smile and kiss her again.

"DANA! Oh my god." Someone comes stumbling out the door, making Magda and I part.
