So Quiet You Were

Truth or Dare

~Dalton's POV~

The next morning, I got out of bed and quickly picked out what I was going to wear. I didn't want to miss anything that was planned for that day. I walked down the hall and slowed down when I passed Kayla's room. I wanted to see if she was awake so we could talk some more since we hit it off last night. I peeked into her room and saw her brushing her long brown hair. Knocking on the door before I entered, I walked over to her and said good morning.

"Good morning Dalton" She said with a smile "did you sleep well?"

"Actually yeah. Those beds are really comfortable." 

"Right! Even with all of Stephan's dogs sleeping with me, the beds are still comfy." She said looking over at Goliath taking up half of the bed. It was amazing she had any room at all. I looked around her room and saw a picture of a guy on her dresser. There was a rose in front of it. I was curious as to who it was. Did she have a boyfriend?

"Whose that?" I said pointing at the picture. She looked over and her face immediately fell. 

"That's Riley." She said with a weak smile. "He's...he's in the hospital right now." She said as her eyes started to water. I shouldn't of asked. Why didn't I think this through!

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you sad." I said looking at her concerned. She wiped her eyes and looked over at me.

"Don't worry about it! You didn't know." She said smiling at me. I felt a little better after seeing her smile, but I knew to be careful in bringing up her friend again.

When she was done brushing her hair, we headed downstairs and heard yelling. When we entered, we just about fell to the floor laughing. Ruben, the Rottweiler, had stolen Jaime's wallet and wouldn't give it back. 

"You give that back you little thief!" Jaime yelled at him. Ruben replied with a growl which resulted in Jaime backing up a few steps. He eventually hid behind Kayla and told her to get his wallet back for him.

"Ruben, may I please see Jaime's wallet?" She asked and held out her hand. Ruben walked over and dropped the wallet in her hand. Jaime's jaw hung open.

"Well of course he gives it to you!" 

"He likes to steal stuff sometimes. You just have to keep and eye on him."

"You tell me that now!" Kayla laughed at him and walked away. I followed her outside and to the barn where Majesty was kept. We talked while she fed and brushed her. She was so easy to talk to and she didn't judge me for anything I said. I really liked that. By the time we came to a breaking point in our conversation, it was lunch time. We had spent half the day just talking. It was nice.

~Kayla's POV~

I didn't mean to tear up when he pointed to Riley's picture, it just happend. He was so sweet about it though and he made me feel better. I couldn't believe that we talked for literally half of the day. He was so layed back and easy to talk to. And he didn't judge me for anything I said. I love that!

When we came to a breaking point in our conversation, we realised that it was lunch time and we decided to head back inside. When we got to the kitchen, we were met with an amazing smell. We walked in seeing Jaime and Mike cooking lunch for everyone. 

"What are you guys making?" I asked while sitting down at the counter.

"Tacos and burritos." Mike said as he stirred the meat that was in the skillet.

"I've never had tacos and burritos smell that good!" Dalton said sitting next to me.

"That's because you haven't had our food" Jaime said turning around wiggling his eyebrows. 

They set the food in front of us and watched while we took our first bite. My eyes widened and I looked over at Dalton whose eyes were wide as well.

"Seeeee" Mike and Jaime said in unison. 

"This is the best taco I've ever had." I said with my mouth full. Not lady like but I couldn't help it! 

"This is better than Chipotle" Dalton said. 

"Let's not get carried away" Clayton said walking in and taking a bite of Dalton's burrito.

"Oh My Gosh. It's pretty dang close though." We all laughed and finished our food. When everyone was done eating, we decided to play a game. Of course the game chosen was truth or dare. Great. A mansion full of rock stars and we play truth or dare, what could go wrong?

"Kayla, truth or dare?" Kellin asked me looking me straight in the eyes.

"Of course I'm first! Um, truth?" I said unsure but that was enough for Kellin. 

"Do you have a crush on Dalton?" My cheeks turned pink and everyone stared at me.

"Um, well, ya know" I said stumbling to find words. Everyone laughed and looked at Dalton.

"What can I say, I have that effect on the ladies."  He said winking at me and gave me a hug. I felt so much better once he hugged me. Now my secret was out thanks to Kellin. Time for revenge.

"Kellin, truth or dare?" I said with a devilsh grin. 

"Crap now it's revenge time isn't it?"

"You bet it is." Everyone laughed and awaited Kellin's answer. 

"Well, dare I guess. Let's get it over with." 

"I dare you to upload a video onto facebook of you in your underwear saying "In my man pants I can do anything!!!" 

"NO!" He said wide eyed.

"Yes!" I demanded "It's a dare!" 

"Fine! You know what, I don't even care! I'll do it!" He said standing up and stripping into his underwear. Justin pulled his phone out and recorded  Kellin's dare. We all were rolling on the floor in laughter by the time Kellin finished uploading the video to the bands facebook. Revenge is sweet.

After everyone did at least one truth or dare, Steph and I decided to call it a night. She had to leave in the morning so we wanted to have some alone time to catch up on all that had happened the past few days with the bands we love so much. We hugged everyone goodnight and Dalton and I exchanged smiles as I walked away. I hope he felt the same way about me.

"So, you and Dalton huh?" She asked teasingly.

"So, you and Tony huh?" I asked back.

"He has a girlfriend Kayla."

"I know. I just wanted something to say back." She laughed and we continued to talk about our crushes.

"I don't know." I said looking at my hands "I don't know if i can get close to someone else. After..." She knew exactly what I was talking about. I looked over at Riley's picture. She changed the subject and we talked until we fell asleep. I loved having her as a friend. She always knew how to cheer me up.
