It Happens

What to do?

A/N: This chapter is very unedited. Proceed with caution

I stumbled out of the school, my tears blurring everything in my line of vision. I can't believe the situation Travis had just put me in. Honestly I couldn't. What was Austin going to think? Austin! I suddenly perked up. Where did he go? I mean if someone truly loved another person wouldn't they stay until the person who committed the mistake explained their self?

"Dani! Hey!" yelled a voice. I turned around and saw Chelsea.

"What do you want?" I sniffled as she caught up to me.

"I'm taking you home," she replied, "Justin's lending me his car."

"Thanks," I say. We walked over to Justin's car and headed to my house.

Once at my house, Chelsea shut the engine. I waited for her to unlock the doors, but she didn't. I give her a look. She didn't seem to catch my drift, so I pulled the door handle. Either she was on Planet LaLa, or she wanted to talk to me. Sighing I say,

"Aren't you going to unlock the doors?"

"Nope," she says, shaking her head.

"Then what do you want?" I snap.

"I wanted to talk to you about what happened," she replied.

"Well, I don't want to," I say stubbornly.

"Dani!" she exclaims, "Two hot guys just ruined your prom, and you don't want to talk about it?"

"Geesh, when you put it that way, I sound like a tramp," I say sarcastically.

"I'm not unlocking these doors until you talk," I give her a challenging look who returned it with her own. We glare at each other until I finally break the silence.

"They're going to make me choose."

"Well duh!" exclaims Chelsea.

"Gee, thanks for the help," I mock.

"Sorry," she says sheepishly. I look out the window.

"When did life become so hard?" I ask.

"Don't know," she shrugs with me. I sigh. I honestly had no idea what to do. "Want my advice?" she asks. I shrug my shoulders. "Don't pick either one."

"What?!?!" I say shocked.

"I'm being serious," she says unlocking the doors, "don't pick either one."

"But that's just cruel," I say defeated.

"No it's not, what's cruel is what they are doing to you," replies Chelsea.

"I'll think about it," I say as I hop out of the car.

"I hope you do," she says and drives off. I watch her leave before entering my house. I entered as quietly as I could and was thankful when I saw no one anywhere. I quickly made my way up to my room and stripped off my clothes, putting on a pair of pajamas. As I lay in bed, I thought about what I should do. Before I drifted off to sleep, I thought about Chelsea's advice.

"Dani, honey?" someone knocks on my door.

"What?" I groan.

"Travis and Austin are here to see you?" questions the voice. At that I sprang up. Shit! I totally forgot about last night. I had planned to avoid them all summer until I headed off to college.

"Tell them I'm not here!" I hide underneath my covers.

"Oops, sorry." I groan. I get out of bed and don't even bother to look in the mirror; might as well get this over with. Throwing open the door, I saw my mother standing there.

"Honey! What happened? You look like a truck hit you!"

"Thanks mother," I say sardonically before heading downstairs. When I finally reached the bottom, I saw Travis and Austin glaring at each other. I clear my throat. That caught their attention.

"What are you doing here?" I scowl.

"I'm here to apologize," pipes up Austin the same time Travis says, "I'm sorry." I glare at the two.

"Let's take this outside," I say tiredly, "I'd rather not have a yelling match in my house early in the morning." They agreed and headed out, but not before they gave each other a death glare.

"Look Dan-" I hold my hand to stop Austin.

"I don't want to hear either one of your excuses," I say, "just cut to the chase. Both of you." The two of them were silent. Neither one dared to speak. I was beginning to get irritated with this entire conversation. "If neither one of you are going to talk, then I'm going ba-"

"We want you to choose," says Travis his head down.

"Dude?" asks Austin.

"Don't say that it's not true," Travis glared, "we both want her and she has to choose."

"No she doesn't," replies Austin forcefully, "she can take her own sweet time and decide who she wants to be with." I look back and forth between their bickering. I can't believe they were actually making me choose. I was totally kidding when I said that last night! I didn't know what to do, until I heard Chelsea's voice.

"Pick neither one," That one line kept ringing through my head.

"I don't pick either of you!" I blurt. The two of them stop bickering and gaze down at me.

"What?" questions Austin. I nod my head,

"I pick neither of you." At this moment of time, I was trying to hold back my tears.

"Look Dani, don't make rash-"

"NO!" I yell forcefully, "You two have been acting like jackasses! And you're making me choose? What person fucking does that?"

"Dani please," pleaded Austin.

"Just leave," I say pointing them to their cars, "I don't want to see you again." They didn't do anything at first, but Travis was the first to leave, then Austin. I stood on my porch until I heard both of them drive off. That's when I let my tears fall.

A/N: (Revised)

Hey guys! Looks like I faked you out with this chapter! Ahahahaha... *awkward laugh*

I've realized that I just don't have enough time to do a sequel to this story and honestly I didn't want to. I'd much rather focus on my new story Cindy. So the NEXT chapter is definitely going to be the epilogue. I PROMISE!

I'm thinking wedding maybe? Who's? I don't know yet. We'll see.

Okay well, I hope you guys are okay with my decision! I think I'll be updating by tomorrow? Maybe...
