Secrets, Bruised and Broken - Part 2 / Danisnotonfire Fanfiction

Chapter 30. Night Changes

As I walked into my flat on the beautiful Sunday morning, something wasn’t right. It was half 9 in the morning and my place wasn’t empty, I walked into the lounge, expecting to find Bernie. I was met with a much larger surprise. First off, the lounge was clean. I mean Scottie and I left a huge mess, but now it was spotless. Then not to mention, there was a sleeping Dan on my sofa. I stared at him for a few minutes, I missed coming home to find him randomly in my flat. He was cuddling with Bernie, it was actually sweet. I had totally forgot that he had a key, I’ve just had other things on my mind. I smiled to myself before draping a large blanket over him ( Oh, Don’t give in! No matter how cute he is ), I was still angry about everything that had gone on between us and now he was just here in my flat. I don’t care if he cleaned, he didn’t have the right to be here. I let out a frustrated sigh, before walking into my bedroom and slamming the door. ( That definitely woke him up ) I changed my clothes, since I was still in my pajama’s. When I walked back into the lounge, Dan was sitting up, with a look of confusion on his face. I just ignored him and walked into the kitchen, I grabbed some yogurt and poured myself a glass of orange juice. He walked awkwardly into the kitchen, ” Hi.. ” he sighed. I glared at him, ” Why are you here, Dan? ” I questioned. He shrugged ” I’m not sure, I just…. I don’t know “, I let out a deep aggravated sigh. ” I didn’t think you were gonna be home until later…. I Thought you’d be babysitting until later tonight ” he commented, I sighed ” Well, I didn’t think I would come home to find you asleep on my sofa. But thank you for cleaning the lounge “. He nodded, ” Well, since you’re here. Do you wanna grab a hot chocolate…. or some food …… or something? ” he asked quietly. ” I can’t, Scottie and I have dinner plan’s ” I stated finishing up my yogurt, he looked at me confused. ” What? Like a date? ” he questioned with a slight attitude, ” I shrugged ” So what if it is? It’s not like we’re in a relationship, we’re not even friends at the moment, remember? “. He sighed, ” That’s not my fault, you’re the one making that choice! ” he exclaimed. I rolled my eyes, ” Only because you treated me like shit, if you would’ve just told me about your true feelings, we wouldn’t be here screaming at each other ” I shouted. ” So, you’re pregnant and now you’re just gonna date Scottie? ” he questioned, ( Oh My God ) ” No, I’m not gonna date anyone! I owe him, for being there for me, I could’ve lost all my friends because of our one night stand. They could’ve all called me a slut and a liar, they could’ve told me I was ruining your life. But no, they stood by my side, your Ex girlfriend is the one that said that shit to me ” I exclaimed. He looked down, ” I’m sorry Ellie, I’m sorry that I treated you like shit and I’m sorry that I ever dated Beth ” he stated. I nodded, ” I’m not finished talking about this, I’ve just got things to do today. But if we meet up tomorrow, you gotta swear not to be an ass. This is your last chance Dan ” I sighed staring at my hands. ” Alright, then I’ll see you tomorrow…. Enjoy your date ” he sighed as he basically stormed out of my flat, ” It’s not a fucking Date! ” I yelled after him. I let out a deep sigh and kicked one of the kitchen chairs, ” I see the guy for about 5 fucking minutes and I’m already feeling like this, great ” I mumbled sitting myself on the sofa.

I ordered a pizza for lunch, and then just sat around until 5 pm. I sighed as I turned the television off, I quickly stretched and let out another yawn, before I stood up and walked into my room. I walked over to my wardrobe and groaned, ” I wonder how fancy this restaurant is gonna be….. or what if it’s….oh hell! ” I exclaimed pulling out my phone and dialing Scottie. ” Hello?.. Do you miss me already? ” he questioned with a chuckle, I rolled my eyes and sighed. ” No, I was just wondering. This restaurant, is it fancy or casual? ” I asked, he stayed quiet for a minute. ” Well it’s not casual, so I’d say fancy ” I could hear the smile in his voice, ” Okay, I’ll see you soon ” I stated as I hung up the phone. I looked through a few different dresses, but ended up choosing a mint colored - sweetheart neck skater dress, with some black wedges. I then took a shower and then did my hair ( Wavy of course ), I didn’t put much makeup on ( Honestly, I didn’t want to put any on, but I felt like, if it was a fancy restaurant. I’d need it ). When I was satisfied with my appearance, I finally walked out of the bathroom. It was already 6:15 pm, ” Geez, I’m glad I started early ” I snickered to myself. I got dressed and sighed, honestly after talking to Dan, I wasn’t really in the mood to go out and eat anymore, but I couldn’t cancel on Scottie…Again… He didn’t deserve that. Around 6:45 pm, Scottie arrived looking extremely handsome and dashing. ” Well Miss Ellie, you look very beautiful…. I mean pretty…. you look good ” he smiled nervously, ” Well Thank you Mr. Scottie James Taylor. You look very handsome ” I smiled. He chuckled ” Elle, please don’t use my full name. You know I hate it “, I smiled ” Alright Smiles “. He let out another chuckle at the sound of his nickname, ” Are you ready? ” he asked me. I nodded, ” Bye Bernie, see you later ” I shouted as I grabbed my cardigan and followed Scottie out to his car.
