Away From Home (Dalton Rapattoni Fanfic)

Sklen's POV
I finally went to bed after my 2 older sisters interviewed for what felt like hours. I woke up about 10. I know late but hey I was up pretty late and just flew, I'm tired. I looked at my phone to see if maybe I was dreaming last night. I pulled up my contacts and it was indeed real. I decided to send him a text.
To handsome blonde on plane: handsome blonde on plane, really? Great name.

I put my phone down thinking he wouldn't answer for a while. I was wrong, a few seconds later my phone bussed. That was fast.

To Kid: yep! I am though aren't I?

To handsome blonde on plane: don’t be to full of yourself

To Kid: hey be ready in 20

To handsome blonde on plane: wait what?!

To kid: please. Ill pick you up. And Wear something comfy

To handsome blonde on plane: fine

To Kid: can't wait!

I put my phone down and started getting ready. I decided to wear some black skinny jeans and a Blue October tank top that looked like it was bleached out except the words Blue October. I threw on my red high tops and my red leather jacket. My makeup wasn't that much. a nude​ eye shadow, bit of eyeliner, mascara and my signature dark red lipstick. I had 5 minutes left. I brushed my teeth, reapplied my lipstick and looked in the full length mirror on my new bedroom door. dang girl. I looked out the window and saw a black Camaro coming down the street about to pull into my drive. That was Dalton. I ran out of my room past my sisters and down the stairs. I didn't want my family to know I was going out with a guy I just met. They’re kinda huge on the whole I have to meet the guy first thing, well mainly my dad. Mom was more chill about. I was running down stairs and and out the door "mom I’m going out!" "with who? You got here last night" she responded. Quick Skylen think fast! "Uh someone I met on the plane.... Uh... Her name Is... Louis!" it wasn’t a complete lie I may have said her instead of his. And Dalton's middle name is Louis so I wasn't lying about that. "Okay have fun. You got your phone?" yes she bought it! "Yep fully charged and sound on!" "okay tell me where to find the body." something my mom always says. It means tell me where you're going to be. My mom was strict but not that strict. "K love ya!" I opened the door and started walking out and I saw Dalton getting out of his car and walking over. I motioned my hand telling him to go back to the car and he did as told but also looked kinda confused. I was about to close the door then mom yelled one more thing "oh and Skylen." ugh "yeah?" "tell Dalton I like his car." dang it. "How did you-" "I know everything" I rolled my eyes and closed the door. I started walking down the few steps and Dalton once again came out of his car. I walked up to him and smiled he smiled and said hey then opened the door for me, I got in and thanked him. He smiled and closed the door then went to the other side and got in. "So where we off to?" I asked. "Is the Park good?" yes the park is good! I love walking around in the park! "Yeah sounds great!" It was only about a 2 minute ride so we didn't talk much. We got to the parking lot and I started to open my door "hold up!" I heard Dalton say. He got out of the car, walked over to my door and opened it for me. "Thank you." "Don't mention it." we started walking around the park just having a conversation.
"This is your first date isn't it?" he asked. I was surprised at his question, I didn't know what to say so I said the truth. "Yeah it is. 17 ans has never been on a date before. Everytime I got asked out.. So like twice… my parents said no" "and you lied to go with me today? That's why you told me to go back to the car?" he said. "Yeah but it didn't work out that well. Mom told me before I closed the 'tell Dalton I like his car.'" I did a high voice to mimic my mom's though my mom's voice is actually kinda low. He laughed and a little then spoke again. "Hey can I ask you a kinda personal question?" "yeah sure." "why were you in Georgia? Besides seeing me in concert the other day." I laughed a little at his last comment. "Well I lived there." he looked at me confused. "It's kinda a long story." "I got time. All I have planed for today is this so... Tell away. If you want. I don't want to intrude." I giggled a little "you’re not intruding. It's no secret." "then tell me." "ok where do I begin?" I thought for a moment. "Ok so I lived in a small town in Georgia right outside of Augusta. I lived there my whole life. Born and raised! I lived there with my 3 older sisters, 1 older brother and my parents. My brother Alex got married and moved out. My oldest sister Jaden wanted to live an amazing life out of Georgia so she moved to Utah. It was just me, Mary, Kaylee and my parents. Life was good for me. I had dance and was pretty good at it to if I do say so myself. Me and my sisters all danced. I was homeschooled and had my 2 best friends who were homeschooled too. We were actual squad goals. My best friend Megan told me she was moving to Utah and my other best friend Gabby told me she was going to public high school. And let me tell you the public schools in Augusta are not the best. Everything kinda went downhill from there. Except one thing. You announced you were coming to Atlanta again and I was beyond excited. I saw you before in Atlanta in April but I didn't hug you. and I needed that hug so I bought a VIP pass to the show coming up as soon as possible. About a week later the company my dad worked for shut down and he was jobless. 2 weeks later my family was moving, but not me. Megan was moving 2 days after her 16th birthday and the concert was 1 day after that. I wanted to stay for her birthday and the concert because I already spent 70 bucks on it. I packed all my stuff and put in in my parent's car except 2 suitcases that had what I needed for 2 months. I lived with my brother and his wife for those 2 months then I was going to fly out here. Fly out here and leave my dance, my friends and everything I knew. My whole life was in a small town that I was leaving behind. The night of the concert me and my sister in law decided to stay in a hotel then she would take me to the airport the next day. And you know everything from there." he was silent for a second. Oh did i say to much? Ugh I’m such an idiot! "Wow" that's what he said. Wow. I looked at him confused and he spoke again. "2 things. 1, Were you the one who asked for the kiss on the cheek? Twice?" I nodded "well I guess you got it." I blushed a little then he continued. "2nd you are the most loyal friend out there! You stayed away from your parents for 2 months as a 17 year old just so you could be there for your friends 16th birthday! That Kid is loyalty to the max!" I laughed "well why thank you" i said in a slightly british accent. “And technically I was 16 then” We both laughed then he spoke. "Hey kid?" "Hey Dalton?" I reopened mimicking his tone. He giggled a little then continued "can you tell me your name?" I forgot about that! "Haha! I forgot that. The name's Jones, Skylen Jones" I said in a James Bond voice. "What about your middle?" "it's Vera, family name." "beautiful. The whole name." "its not that good." "no its great. It's beautiful just like it's owner." he said stopping our walk and looking me in the eyes. I blushed. Then turned to continue our walk. It was past lunch time but we weren't hungry. Actually I’m not sure what time it is and i don't really care. I’m having so much fun with Dalton right now.

Dalton's POV
We started walking and talking more. I love talking to Skylen. She's so chill. Even though I know she is fan, and she even said it herself she loves my music, she treats me like I’m a normal person. I like it. I love it. We ended up taking a stroll through the woods. A tree had fallen over the path so I jumped over then offered my hand to Skylen so she could get across easier. and I want to be a gentle man. She took my hand jumped over it. She giggled a little. A really adorable giggle. Then we didn't let go of hands for a moment, then I intertwined our fingers. This feels wrong she's 17 but she doesn't act 17. She so mature for her age. It feels wrong but also right. I think She was thinking the same thing because as we were walking in a peaceful silent she spoke not letting go. "Dalton" "yeah?" I asked. "I'm 17. Im 4 years younger than you. And although I love this. It’s kinda illegal." my heart sank I knew she would say it but I didn't want her to. I know it's weird for 21 year old to like a 17 year old but in 5 years it won’t be weird at all. "I know kid. Maybe we can be friends. Great friends. I’ll be your first friend here in Dallas. I’ll show you around so you can get familiar with the place then maybe in a few years we can be.more than friends. But for right now can I just hold your hand?" she smiled her amazing smile and said "I would like that" then placed her head on my shoulder. We continued to walk for a bit then she asked what time it was. I looked at my phone
"whow" I said
"what?" she asked
"it’s 5 already"
"Dang"
"do you want to go home now?"
She shook her head and said "not yet. Is that ok?"
"Yeah. are you hungry?"
"Actually yeah a little." she said with a giggle. "Ok then let’s get out of these woods and get some food!" we turned around and went to get out of the trees. When the fallen down tree came around I picked her up like a baby and stepped over it.

Skylen's POV

How the freak does he keep picking me up??!?!??! I'm 230 lbs!!! Yes I know fat, overweight, obese. I'm working on it ok! And I don't look like 230, I look more like 180. And I’m actually pretty strong. And so is Dalton apparently because he keeps picking me up! Anyway. It us about an hour and a half to get to the nearest Taco Bell because we had to get out of the woods. We got back to my house about 8pm and that probably scared the crap out of my dad. We ended up laying on the green grass in my front yard talking about anything and everything for I think 2 hours. Then we just layed there holding hands and looking at the stars for I don't know how long. We always had something to talk about and if we didn't it wasn't an awkward silence but a peaceful quiet. I think dalton saw  Kaylee in the window because he started to speak in a soft voice "I think i should go kid." he got up and then helped me up. "I’ll walk you to the door." "ok" I said with a sad smile. I didn’t want him to leave. I like him, and not just because he’s Dalton Rapattoni, I actually liked him. We walked holding hands then he faced me.
"I had a great time tonight" he said
"so did" I responded
"maybe we can do this again sometime soon"
"I hope so." he leaned in and gave a friendly peck on the cheek and I blushed "goodnight kid" he said with a soothing voice. "Good night"
He walked to his car and I watched as he drove away. Why are guys so attractive when they drive. I walked into my house with only my sister Kaylee awake. I had a huge grin on my face. I had the best day of my life. Kaylee was spitting out questions left and right. I walked up the stairs to my bedroom completely ignoring her. "SKYLEN! Answer me!" she yelled. Ugh Kaylee shut up. "All you need to know is I had the best day ever and I’m going to wake up Megan and tell her everything. Then I’ll tell you tomorrow. Goodnight!" I slammed the door in her face. I kicked off my shoes and jacket and plopped on my bed. "Best day ever" I whispered to myself then fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed. I didn't even call Megan.
