Drawing Voices

Glasses together Chapter Eleven

 

Everything probably feels very vague. You don't actually know what happened to Lola years ago but gradually i hope you understand. This chapter is boring and more just a filler to get into the story (again). Leave a comment if you ever get confused. Thanks/sorry. From Sarah. x 

Lola's P.O.V

I woke up to Dan's arm tightly wrapped around me; he was sleeping and he had his glasses on. This was the first time I saw him with glasses. I didn't know he wore them but he looked so cute with his mouth in an 'O' shape steadily breathing out with his wide-rimmed glasses balancing on the tip of his nose.

Then all of a sudden I had a flash back of last night...

*~*~*

"Lola." Dan cried. "Is this your blood?" He muttered.

I looked away from Dan's storming eyes. "Every time I got hurt I would make use of the left over blood writing a letter per time they beat me up. I would bury the diary at the spot where they expected me to be waiting so after they left I could note it down." I phonated.

"So it happened to you 40 times?" Dan said putting his hand over his mouth, his eyes enlarging.

"Yes clever clogs." I said jokingly, removing his hand from his mouth like we did a few days ago.

"But I though once I found you in the woods that night that it had stopped. Oh, Lola." Dan cried as he moved my chin up with his hands so that i would look at him.

"It did. You stopped it on the 40th time Dan! It was as though you completed me." I told him.

*~*~*

The flash back ended and I realized I was staring at Dan and by this time Dan had woken up too. We both must have just fallen asleep because i was still wearing yesterday’s clothes and so was he.

"Morning beautiful." Dan whispered.

"Morning sunshine." I said to Dan. "I've got Uni today, what about you?" 

"Yeah I’ve got an English Literature exam this afternoon and I was going to see Ralph this morning to sort him out." Dan said running his hand through his hair obviously thinking about what he was going to say to him.

"Dan.... Ralph was clearly just drunk. At least he hasn't caused any damage between you and me plus I guess I’m used to it." I said looking down at Dan's hands that balanced on my hip."

Dan moved his lips onto mine and bit lightly onto my lower lip inflicting a gentle moan from me.

*-*-*

The day passed quite quickly and I was on my way back to Kyle's when my phone rang. It was Dan. A big smile drew upon my face.

Dan: Hey princess.

Me: Hey prince.

Dan: I was passing by a house on the way back and i realized it was privately up for sale. So i knocked on the door and asked for a booking for me and my girlfriend to look around. They said they could do tonight. Do you fancy it?

Me: Yes sure. That would be great, text me the address later. I'm going to go back to yours and drop of my bags then I’ll be on my way.

Dan: I've sorted it out with Ralph. He was practically in tears. He says he's very sorry but may I ask you something?

Me: Yeah of course...

Dan: Is it alright if I still stay in touch with Ralph. He has been my friend for years and-

Me: Yes, I never wanted any friendship issues here. Gosh I’m not that selfish, anyways its between me and Ralph and I’ve forgiven him.

Dan: I love you so much.

I got back to Kyle's and I was just about to leave when Woody and Will walked through the door.

"Hey!" I greeted thinking they probably didn't recognize me from Friday.

"Oh hey Lola" Said Will producing a surprised face on me which Woody clearly acknowledged.

"We do remember you, you know!" Said Woody bringing me into a hug.

"Dan won't let us forget you." Said Will raising an eye brow.

With that the two of them walked off.

Dan's P.O.V

I was waiting for Lola outside the terraced house we were planning on looking at. She was 20 minutes late and the people in the house were probably expecting us.

It made me think about Lola and the fact that she always runs to a deep part of the woods whenever she is upset maybe because of the things those men use to do to her that she has almost made the woods her home. I hope when we move into a house she feels like she can belong somewhere but it scares me in case she thinks i'm rushing her. Thinking about her made me want to wrap Lola up into a safe cuddle and be with her. I hope she is alright.

I began getting a little worried then I noticed a small figure in the horizon running towards me down the street. It was Lola. The comical way she was running towards me was so funny. As soon as she approached me she looked at me and carried on walking. I started to walk behind her until she sat down in the middle of the road. I moved my hands under her arms and lifted her up whilst turning her around so that i could kiss her gently. She then sank onto me tired from running for so long, so I picked her up and kissed her again. Until the kiss was broken by a driver wanting to get passed. Beeping his horn at us. 

Lola's P.O.V

The whole scene was like something in a movie or something for a music video...

We walked up to the door of the house with Dan gripping my hand tightly as we patiently waited for someone to answer.

Finally a young woman around our age answered. "Hello you must be Mr and Mrs Smith." She said with a lower toned voice as though she couldn't be bothered with visitors.

You could tell Dan was about to say something about us not being married but then he closed his mouth again as through he couldn't be bothered.

We entered the house and it was a lot smaller on the inside than the outside. When you immediately walk in to the hall way on the left hand side was a living room with a fireplace and large windows, on the right hand side was a kitchen with a small island in the middle and cabinets along the side of the walls which opened up to a plot of land. Upstairs was a bathroom with a shower, bath, sink and toilet in and to the far end of the house was a fairly larger room which would be the bedroom that had a little arched window that over looked the city that me and Dan both love.

After we looked around the house, we decided to bare the house in mind as it was only the first house but it did seem suitable. We said goodbye to the owner of the house and whilst we walked through the door a familiar looking man with two children in his arms stared into my eyes.

"Come on Lola lets go." Said Dan sternly knowing that the man was one of the guys who use to beat me up.

We pushed pass him and made our way back. It upset me seeing him with a family because I panicked over the fact he could be harassing his wife or children also he was now back in the same city as me so he could hunt me down. I think Dan noticed the impact he had on me because he grabbed my hand tighter again.

*-*-*

We arrived back home and Kyle, Janna, Woody and Will were all eating a take away pizza. 

"We bought you some" Said Kyle handing us a box.

"Thanks" Dan and me thanked in unanimity.

"We have exciting news" shuffled Will on the edge of his seat as i grabbed a slice of pizza.
