Not A Love Story

Chapter 22

Dana's POV

*Flashback*

"Finaly, I'm 16!" I said, running inside. Devin followed, trying to keep up. I opened the door and- "SUPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I laughed at all my friends and family. Louis took me over to the piano, begging me to play it with him. I agreed and sat next to him, running my fingers over the keys, like I always do. "Ready?" he asked. I nodded and we sand my faveorite song together, playing along with it.

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air

And leave teardrops everywhere

You'd think me rude

But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

From ten thousand lightning bugs

As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head

A sock hop beneath my bed

A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack

(Please take me away from here)

'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

(Please take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep

(Please take me away from here)

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are

If my dreams get real bizarre

'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Everyone clapped and Louis and I smiled. Dad stoodin front of us as Devin sat next to me and snapped a photo.

*Flashback Over*

Dana's POV

I wiped my eyes and sniffled, smiling a watery smile and the picture my dad took on my 16th Birthday. Louis was kissing my cheek, his face scrunched up all funny looking. Devin was leaning on me, looking all dramatic. I was just laughing at my goofy friends. Louis peeked in the room and walked over. "What's wrong? It's happy day, we're on break!" he cheered. I laughed a little and he sat down. "I remeber that," he said quietly. "Worst birthday ever," I added. It was great until my aunt... until my aunt went into a coma. We had to go to the hospital and she didn't live. "It was crazy and sad," Louis agreed, moving hair out of my eyes. "But, hey! She wanted you to be a star, and you're working on it!" I nodded as Devin danced gracefully into mine and Louis's hotel room. "Wanna go out to the pool?" she asked, not noticing we were sort of upset. "Yeah, Devvie, we'll be right there," I said, but she was already dancing cheerfully out the room. "Babe, go change! Let's go swimming,' Louis said, pulling me to the bathroom. We changed (And stuff:P) And then went down to the pool. Louis was in his Superman board shorts. Devin wore a bright pink bikini and I wore a sea green one that was strapless. There were lots of people in the indoor pool so we went to the outside one. There were fewr people because it was 87 degrees outside, but we thought that was hot enough to jump in the pool. We slashed around and acted like idiots. It made me wish we were back home, working in the REC Center, writing songs whenever, just being ourselves. Was I making the right decision?
