How Does Your Story Go? (Dinah/You)

Chapter Six

I shake my head and play a melody on the ukulele as I too felt the corners of my lips rise from watching my beautiful crush walking back to me, laying her head on my shoulders. I think I'm falling for her.

Actually scratch that. I'm definitely falling for Dinah Jane. 

Y/N's POV (Not Edited)

I rest my head on Dinah and felt myself feel satisfied. Not long later, I felt Dinah squirm around in her spot like she was feeling uncomfortable. Maybe I was making her feel uneasy so I lift up my head and out of nowhere, Dinah stands up and pulls Camila by the arm.

"Chancho come with me to the toilet. I can't hold it!" Camila's eyes bulge out and she gets onto her feet, speed walking together away from us. I smile knowing that all Dinah was trying her hardest to hold in her urine, not because she felt awkward with our position. Hopefully.

Breaking out of my thoughts, someone jumps on my back, giving me a crushing hug. Out of instinct, I wince in pain and the person instantly gets off me. 

"Are you okay Y/N? I don't think I hugged you too tightly." Ally worriedly says. Normani caught on the situation and she too gave a concerned look. I looked around and Lauren seemed like she was in her dreamy state. It wouldn't hurt to tell them what's really happening in my life. I should open up to them right? After all they are my best friends.

The girls have been there for me since we first met in preschool. I'm so glad to call Ally and Normani my best friends but it felt wrong to never tell them what was happening with me. Sometimes I would evade their questions as to why I wouldn't go to school or not reply back to any text messages. Though I think it's about time I tell them everything that's happening but at the same time I don't want to tell them. Only because I don't need them to be affected by my own personal life. I just need to release this secret I've kept for too long. Honestly the last thing I want is to see the girls giving me a guilty and sympathetic look for not knowing.

"I've been keeping something from the both of you and I know it isn't fair for you girls to be in the dark when I suddenly evade your questions or leave you hanging on a text message. So let me say it all in one go and then we can talk about it." Alright Y/N, it's now or never. I took a deep breath in and a deep breath out, then commenced with the secret. "I've told you girls rarely anything about home and you could probably guess that this is about home. I would say around eleven months ago," the girls face went into shock, probably hearing that I was dealing with something at home for so long and they didn't know but they didn't budge in my explanation, "I came home from school to hear multiple curse words and yelling. Turns out my parents were both having an affair behind each other's backs. It's even worse when they filed the divorce, none of my so called parents wanted custody of my siblings and I so we now live in an apartment that I rent out. I know I'm technically not an adult but once I turn eighteen in a few months, I'll finally become the guardians for my siblings."

The girls were stunned at what I had to say but it felt great to tell the girls properly. In a sense I didn't care whether or not my parents even cared for each other but I hate the fact that they weren't acting like adults, needing to get some kind of affection from another person. Also I despise their guts ever since the words of 'You can take these abominations with you' and 'Get out of my face you mistakes' were said to any of us. It disgusts me.

"Wait, you haven't explained why you were in pain when I hugged you though." Ally said as Normani nodded in agreement. 

"My body aches from playing basketball with my brother." I said as I rubbed the back of my neck in embarrassment. The girls shook their heads with a smile knowing that I never stretch when I play sport. Yes I'm actually a very sporty person but no one knows that if I wear baggy clothes. The baggy clothes are more comfortable so who cares.

"So how exactly are you paying off the rent? The last time I checked, you were never employed." Normani said. I look at my shoes as if they were very interesting and I felt someone's hand lift my gaze towards them. 

"Please tell me you aren't doing a horrible job for money." I scrunch my face in disgust.

"Calm down Ally, I have standards. I have job at an Italian café nearby my apartment." I said, keeping the information to a minimum. It wasn't that I was ashamed of getting a job but if I told them that I was not only a barista but also working there to perform music piece, I feel like they would come and scope out the place. 

As expected, the girls hummed in surprisement and dropped the conversation as the other two girls came back from the toilet. Dinah crawled back to our original spot, leaning her head on my shoulder. I remember about Lauren so I turn to her and see her dozing off. I bring the ukulele back into my hands and played a few chords. 

It felt so right to be in this moment but I knew it wasn't going to last forever because nothing lasts forever.
