Say Hello to the Night

Into The Night

When the sun hit Dawns face in the morning she was slow to rise. She had to go to The Green Onion but was feeling lazy and sleepy thinking about having to work all day. Ripping herself out of bed and stretching she jumped in the shower just like any other morning. She credited this new found laziness to the falling dream she had at 5am, so close to waking up she never should have gone back to sleep. Brushing out he curls and throwing on her jeans and one of grampa Simon's old big gardening flannels she sighed, no time for bagels this morning.

While dawn was having a hard time getting up David was having a hard time going back to bed, It was 7:30 by now and he had never stayed up this late into the morning. He had done everything he could think of to fall back into he void, watching Marko's cartoons, smoking all his cigarettes, even having a rat for a "midnight snack". So there he sat in the bed they kept in the back, no big coat no leather pants just his big t-shirt and cartoon pants wasting the morning away until he could leave all his thought of dawn and his dreams along behind in the lights of Santa Carla.

Finally making it to The Green Onion with a soft but tired smile Dawn started to open as usual, it was much easier today then yesterday. Turning dawn jumped as Nathan was standing right behind her causing her to drop her tomatoes.

"Jesus Christ! Give a girl a warning would you!" She huffed and brushed a few of her curls back.

"Well someone's grumpy this morning" Nathan laughed like he was funny "Jeez you look tired Dawn, stay up late reading?"

Dawn was beginning to grow annoyed.

"For your information, which it is none of, I was out late at the boardwalk." She smiled remembered David then continued to clean up her mess."Of course I'm grumpy when you make me drop 2 dollars worth of tomatoes." she mumbled the last bit.

"Not that I'm not happy for you ,but inst it dangerous late at night there?" He followed as dawn began to walk off and help checking out customers at her cash box.

"Have a wonderful day dear,.. No Nathan it wasn't dangerous I even made a Friend so don't get all weird on me. I'm a adult, I might even go back tonight" she smiled making the plans in her head.

"Well maybe I should go with you, just in case?" He hopped she would say yes, he hopped she would know exactly what he had in mind was a date.

With a sign and looking down she paused.

"No Nathan I think I want to go alone just like last night." she gave him a weak smile hoping he wasn't to hurt.

Nathan knew it was never going to happen so he just nodded and walked away, he didn't speak to Dawn the rest of her day at work, didn't even tell her goodbye when she was closing. Dawn was drained from work and slowly made her way up the hill to her house only stopping to wave at the crazy old man who lived down the old dirt road. By the time she walked in the door and threw her keys down the sun was starting to go down and she began to perk up.

David finally woke up the last of his brothers after not being able to get to sleep to the sound of Paul and Marko blasting music. Grunting as he sat up in bed walking out to the main part of the cave.

"Why the fuck didn't you three wake me up?" Everyone froze as David was clearly angry.

"Well we heard you moving around figured you got restless so we just waited it out." Dwayne spoke to which David nodded knowing it was actually a good call.

" Okay fine, but everyone get ready." He stretched and began to walk back.

Hearing his brothers thoughts made him flip them off as he went to get ready.

Hes excited to go she his girlfriend.

Dawn was finally ready for the boardwalk. She didn't do anything crazy for her outfit just a simple belted red dress with her curls pinned back neatly and some flats. Part of the reason for the dress she hated to admit was David. She had dressed up cute to get guys attention before but this time felt different, for some reason she knew that her would defiantly notice.

Grabbing her special occasion jean jacket Dawn made her way to her moped and jumped on. Her jacket was a plain jean jacket in the front but had a wonderful floral design on the back hand-painted by herself and grandma Sophie.

Taking off into the night the pair of them raced to the boardwalk not wanting to miss the other. Dawn on her bike and David on his.
