Awkward Encouter: A Dan Howell Story

Chapter 8

The music began to play and  I held my breath. A show was always exciting for me even though I'm never in them. And this show especially would be one I would never forget, I had a feeling about it. All of the models lined up behind the stage, Veronica passed me by and kicked me slightly with her heel. "Sorry, slut." She spat though her brilliant smile. I wanted ot feel mad at her but the only emotion I could muster was guilt. I stole her boyfriend, her love. I stopped my thoughts from venturing any further and peeked around the side of the stage to get a glimpse of Tate. His long hair was combed back and his suit was a dark electic blue. He was gorgeous, the only thing I could compare him to is a prince in some fairy tale. Then I looked over to Dan who seemed to be sniffing the lady next to him and making a face as though her perfume was horrible.

I popped back behind the stage and made sure every model was getting ready for the second part of the show. I spotted Veronica. Something overtook me and I felt I had the need to tell her my side, why I did what I did. I was walking over as confidently as I could when a strong hand grabbed my arm and pulled my sideways into a small corridor. I looked up and saw an extremely handsome, and very muscular, model. "You don't know me, I'm Salvatore I-" 

"Yes, I know who you are." I cut him off by putting my hand up to his chest. "Veronica is in love with you and vice versa. What do you need to tell me?" 

He looked at the ground and stumbled a bit to start his sentence. "I need your help, and you need mine." 

"And what makes you think that I need your help exactly?" 

"We're in love with people who are already taken. We need to work together so we both end up happy, and with the right significang other." He looked into my eyes and I understood that he really was truly and deeply in love with Veronica, the pain of her being with Dan was written all over his face.

"Look I've tried to be with Dan, He has tried to free himself of her but she won't let him go because she is too prideful." I took a breath and looked out into the crowd at Dan.

"It won't work, Salvatore."

I looked back at the broken man in fornt of me.

"We BOTH need to move on and find someone that will be with us with no strings attached. Maybe someone with history..." 

Tate.

No, I couldn't.

Salvatore kissed my cheek and thanked me but swore to never give up on Veronica. I however was moving on a littler faster than I had thought....
