That One Summer. {IM5/ Dana Vaughns}

Chapter 15: Not out of the Ordinary

Chapter 15: Not out of the Ordinary

Happy late 4th! Sorry for the also late chapter but I wanna say something before we start..

This chapter kinda shows how not every day will be action pack, and or filled with drama. Remember she's supposed to represent a normal girl, this is not that regular outrageous story where she meets Justin Bieber and then Zayn and him get in a fight over her. I'm sorry if it comes across as "boring" in any way but I just wanted to get that message across before you start this chapter. Enjoy!

Saturday July 12, 2014

I told Todrick what happened with Dana yesterday along with Arizona of course. I was in my bed still but it doesn't matter everyone left to check out the spot for an episode or something. I have to give him credit, right now there are like two episodes out and he already finished with seven episodes. With the whole Dana thing I feel like I should forgive him. But than again not only did he decide to blame everything on the alcohol and Keana.

Maybe Air's right, we should just make up until I go home. I don't think I should, I would never feel comfortable being that close to him. Especially every time I see him I remember the entire video like it was happening in front of my eyes.

I decided to get up and go the the bathroom. After doing my business and brushing my teeth I walked downstairs opening the fridge. I grabbed the eggs and the bacon and then grabbed a pan and skillet and other necessary items.

I made food for myself in silence, and ate in silence. After I took at shower and got dressed in a romper and some shoes. I didn't have anything in particular to do today but I thought I'd just go to the park. Its broad daylight so there bound to be some little kids.

Or maybe it's the fact I hope to see Peter there.

I walked out of the house and down the street. I could hear the kids laughing and playing as a familiar tune started playing. Hearing the kids cheer I saw all of them chase an ice cream truck, there parents calling out the them. I continued down my path before crossing the street. I brought my phone and the keys of course but I had no intention to use any of them. I would probably stay here til dark and I wouldn't use my phone. Not like I would even want to.

I walked over to an empty swing. The kids started to file back in, ice creams in hand. I swung back and forth slightly staring at the ground. Sometimes I wonder what would've happened if I didn't come here. If I had stayed home spending the summer with my best friend, not worrying about any of this. All these thoughts clouding my head is really killing me. The obvious choice is to not get back with him. Who wouldn't do that? But part of me doesn't want to, I want to give him a chance.

I want to start over.

"Excuse me?"

I looked up slightly seeing a little girl in front of me.

"Can I use the swing please?" She asked politely. I stood up walking away from the swing and park.

I walked down the street my hands in my pockets slightly kicking a rock.

This is the part when something unexpected or expected happens. Some thing exciting. Not right now. I kicked that stupid rock for hours, the sun was still out but you could tell it was late. I walked home seeing Todrick's car parked in the driveway. I walked inside and up to the third floor. I suspected everyone was probably in their rooms tired from filming all day while I was wide awake, waiting for some excitement. I opened my door seeing Dana sitting on the floor leaning on my bed a note in his hand.

'I didn't know when your coming home but I miss you and decided to wait for you. If your reading this I probably fell asleep, I'm guessing I was more tired than I thought'

The note stopped there the last couple of words getting sloppier. As much as I was touched I didn't ask for him to wait for me my day would've been exactly the same with or without him. I wrote on the back of his letter,

'Thanks but you didn't have to. I'll leave you here and if you wake up I'll be downstairs.'

I set the note right in front of his feet. I looked at Dana for a second, just looking at his features. He was such a sound sleeper, only being able to hear the slow sounds of his breath. He jaw wasn't as defined yet, but you could tell when he gets older he'll be able to sharpen swords with it. I smiled at myself as he slightly stirred drool coming out of the side of his lips. I soon got disgusted by how he was drooling, but who doesn't? I sighed before standing up. What the hell am I doing?

I walked out of the room and downstairs. I sat on the couch turning on the tv. I flipped through the TV guide for something good to watch. Seeing a Simpsons episode playing I clicked on it, Bart writing on the walls immediately showed on the screen.

"Skinner is a Wiener" Milhouse repeated reading the words on the wall. I watched as the show continued laughing at the funny jokes and comments they would make here and there.

As a commercial played I turned down the volume before picking up my phone. I had no social media besides Sound Cloud and I don't even really count that. I checked my messages seeing nothing new from anyone. I opened Aubrey's chat and text her a simple hey before setting my phone down. I looked over at the tv seeing commercials still play. Just then I heard the sound of something hitting the marble stair. Thinking it was Dana I sat up seeing him shirtless, his joggers hanging loosely on his waist. I guess he hasn't seen me yet consider he hadn't acknowledged me at all. He just walked into the kitchen and opened a cabinet taking a cup from it. He trudged over to the fridge before pouring himself a glass. He ran a hand through his curls before bringing the glass it his lips.

He was hot, I had to give him that. And as much as I should be hating him I can't. Maybe I'm being way to forgiving about this. My brain says this shouldn't happened. But then again it always manages to show the bad things in our darkest hours. Dana did sound really sorry for what he did.. And he said he cares about me. As I hear him set down his glass my thoughts stopped. I laid down on the couch seeing the show continue. I could hear him in the distance shuffle around but I tried to focus on the show. I heard his feet getting closer and closer to the couch I was on. I was slightly nervous, we haven't talk about anything after he explained himself. If you even want to call that explanation.

He hovered his head over the couch. I made eye contact with him for a second before turning to the tv. He chuckled before trudging over to the other side of the couch.

"Well hello to you too." I moved my feet so he could sit down.

"Dana." I responded sitting up.

"Aww someone needs a hug!" He opened his arms out the finer details on his chest somewhat standing out from the light in the kitchen.

"Dana this isn't some joke, you really hurt me and-"

He pulled he into his chest. He's muscular arms held me tightly as I breathed in his cologne. He smells so good and I felt so warm in his arms. As much as I didn't want this to stop I had to pull away from him.

"I don't think you understand."

He face grew sad, he must've thought he could win me over with just that hug.

"I know Scarlet, I and I promise you I'll make it up to you."
