Skinny Love (Dana Vaughns Story)

Pills and Potions

I just finished smoking with my friends and was walking home. Dana came up to me and coughed.

"What the hell?You smoke?!"He yells.

"Shut up my parents could be home."I say covering his mouth.

We walk to the park by my house.

"You smoke?"He asks again.

"Only sometimes.I'm not some stoner, really."I say rolling my eyes.

"Does Alex?"He asks.

"You don't want to know. "I say getting off the swing I just sat on.

"I'm hungry."I announced.

"Yeah, well let's go."He says and we walk to a drug store.

When we walk in I see the annoying girl that "slept" with Scott.

"Hey Dana!"I call.

"Yeah?"He questions.

"She!"I say pointing to her.

"No need to yell I'm right here."He says.

"She said she was gonna spread her legs for you like she did for Scott!"I say loudly and point.

"Okay,I think we need to go."Dana says and pays for my chips.

When we walk outside Dana hands me.the chips.

I gasp, "Dana look,that cloud is shaped like a clown!"I scream pointing to the cloud and laugh.

"I have a feeling you had more then just weed."He says.

"I think so."I say and sit on the curb.

I open the chips and eat.

"Imagine if I would've let you go home."He says

"Imagine if you would've kept talking to me."I say.

He stays quiet.

"I'm sorry Dre I just-"He starts.

"I think you and I both know I'm too high for an explanation. "I say eating another chip.

"Right. "He says and helps me off the curb.

"Were are we going?"I ask curiously and take his hand into mine.

"I'm taking you home. "He says.

"Okay!"I chirp and walk with him,our hands still together.

"You idiot your parents aren't home,their cars aren't here."Dana says as he get my keys from my bag he's holding so this ment my hand was alone.

"Dana,my hand is cold. "I whine.

He hands me back my bag and takes my hands blowing on them making them warm. When he's done blowing he holds onto one of my hands.

He takes me up to my room and sits me down.

"Are you gonna be okay?"He asks.

"Yes."I say.

------------------------

I open my eyes and try to remember everything that happened.I remember then realize my hand is once again cold.

I check my phone and I have a message from my dad.

Dad:We will be back tomorrow afternoon, be good Xx

Me:No promises :p

I reply smiling.

My smile soon goes away.I frown because now Dana knows. I remember how his hand felt around mine.They fit perfectly as cliche it may sound.

I go into the kitchen and grab the bottle of vodka I hide.I open it and take a swig of the drink.The liquid burns the back of my throat and gives me a satisfaction.
