Skinny Love (Dana Vaughns Story)

"Dana you're going to do great." I encouraged.

"What if I don't? " he asked unsure of himself.

"Do you trust me?"I asked.

"Of course I trust you Andrea, your my best friend."

"Then believe me when I say you'll be amazing."

"What if I don't like the other members?What if They don't like me?"

"Dana stop worrying. "

"What about you and Alex?"

"Don't worry about me and Alex,we'll manage." I said.

"What if they start bullying you again?"

Dana asked worried.

"Don't worry about it. "

"Do you want me to stay?"

"Of course I want you to stay Dana, but I rather you leave and have your dreams come true."

"They won't come true if you're not there."

"Stop."

"Stop what?" he asked

"Stop treating me like I mean
something. "

"You do mean something, and don't you ever forget that. "

I smiled.

"Go get on that truck. " I said pulling him in for a hug crying.

"Please don't cry. "

"Go get 'em. " I said causing him to smile.

He gave me a last a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"So,you excited? " My best friend Alex asked.

I looked up at her.

"I haven't talked to him since we were fourteen that's two years ago,nervous is more the word.Mad could also be one of the words." I said.

Besides Dana who I haven't talked to in two years, Alex was my best friend. Dana left Pittsburgh because he auditioned to be in a band and got picked.He was hesitant to do it,but I convinced him to go.After he left he had only sent me a few texts and then that was it.

"Why would you be mad?" She asked.

I gave her a look.

"Why wouldn't you be.He hasn't talked to us in two years. Yeah okay,he's busy, but he could've at least tried to show some effort."I answered getting angry thinking about it.

"I understand, but hey he's coming for a visit. He's coming to your house,he's not coming to mine." She stated.

I was quiet.

"Do you still love him?"

I looked up to face her. I'm sure pain from many years were still in my eyes.

"Of course I still love him.He's the only person I've ever loved." I practically whispered.

"I can tell he feels the same.You guys have like a skinny love."

"That would require him loving me, which he doesn't. "

She laughed.

"You really don't see the way he looked at you do you?"

"Again all of that was two years ago.A lot can change.How could someone like him love me.I have so much wrong with me."

"Like what? "She asked knowing what I was going to say.

"Well let's see where do we start, I used to cut and I have panic attacks."I said.

She shook her head.

"What are you supposed to wear?" she asked.

"My mom said I have to dress 'semi- formal'"

"Do you have something?"

"I'm sure I'll find something. "

I got off my bed to look in my closet.I found something.

"I got it." I told her.

"Let me see."

I showed her a black skirt with ruffles and black glittery waist band. I got my white button up blouse and showed her that.I grabbed my black hat and black ankle booties.

"That's cute. " she said.

I scrunched my nose at the word.

"That's a great choice. " she said.

I never really liked the word,ever since I was little.

"Okay,so I'll wear this." I said.

"What time are they going to be here?" Alex asked

"They should be here at around 5:30."

I checked the time.

'4:00'

I also had a message.

Can't wait to see you xXx

-Danax

"Oh my God. "

"What? "

"Dana texted me."

"What did he say?"

I showed her the message on my white iPhone.

"See he cares. "

I shook my head.

"I have to get ready.See you tomorrow or later." I told her.

"Bye."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was now sitting on the stool in front of my vanity doing my hair and my make up.I only put on a little bit of make up.I got off my stool to grab my hat.My blouse was tucked in and I grabbed my ankle booties.I put them on then looked at my outfit.With the heels I was probably 5'2.

'5:45'

I'm guessing their late.I was sitting on the edge of my bed on my phone waiting to be called downstairs.

"Andrea!"My father called.

I got up and fixed my skirt before slowly walking down the stairs.I was at the end of the stairs when Dana came and hugged me lifting me off the ground.

At that moment I felt happiness and...anger
