Why Didn't You Tell Me?! [editing]

Chapter Two

Kate

I walked in front of Will and tried to act all cute to distract Joni. "You're early! So um...Welcome to my house."

She stopped me there. Maybe she wasn't paying attention to me. Understandable. Her attention was fully on my brother. I could see her inspecting his face. "I-I'm sorry to stare but, has anyone ever told you that you look exactly like Will from that boy band?" I looked at him as he let out a slight chuckle. Joni was frozen obviously waiting for an answer.

"Um... I am Will from that boy band." He rested his head against the door frame staring at Joni. "Hi" he charmingly said to my best friend. Ugh. What have you done Will?

"Oh. Cool. So... I might pass out. Yep. Feeling woozy." She started to topple forward and I caught her in my arms.

"Uh... Will? Mind giving me a hand?" She started to feel heavier and heavier and I had a harder time trying to hold her up. The bag of chips she had in her arms fell to the ground. Now there's sad, golden brown, crunchy friends all over the floor. Fudge.

"No no. I'm enjoying your struggle." He pinched my cheeks a little too hard. He bent down and ate what was left inside the bag of potato chips.

"Fine! Just get her bags." He laughed and grabbed her bags, like I asked. I dragged Joni all the way to my couch. Which wasn't easy. I might have dropped her on the way. I threw her on the couch and sat on the coffee table next to her.

"Good job bro. You made a girl faint."

"Hell yeah I did." He stood next to me and we both stared at an unconscious Joni. I don't know what to do. Do I throw water at her or something?

"You take care of this. I told you you had to leave by 8:00! NOW LOOK WHAT HAPPENED! Ugh..."

"You're getting worked up over nothing. Just...Just slap her."

"Slap her? Wh-"

"Hey Will!" Just then David walked through the door. Along with Dana, Gabe, and Cole. I knew I should've locked that door.

"WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?!" I whisper-yelled at Will.

"I don't know." I gave him a stern look and he cracked, "Ok. I needed a ride so..." the guys blasted out the jazz hands, "here they are!"

"Great. Just great. Just when poop hits the fan, you idiots show up."

"Hey! I am NOT an idiot. Not sure bout these guys though..." Dana whispered in my ear.

"Perfect. She's waking up." Slowly her eyes opened and she sat up on the couch. She smiled at me and looked around.

"Hey Kate. Look! Its Will. And Cole's here! David! Nice to see you. And Gabe! Ma man. And Dana. Sweet sweet Dana," she walked over to him, "Oh you're so hot..." she slapped his cheek. "Best dream ever. With my best friend and my favorite boy band." She sighed and smiled.

Cole laughed at Joni's false reality. "Uh. You're not dreaming sweetie. We're actually here." He flashed her a smile and so did the others. All color drained from Joni's face. A chuckle escaped my lips, her facial expression was priceless.

She looked over at Dana who waved at her then fixed his snapback. She buried her face into her hands and started to laugh...I think. She got up and walked over to my bathroom and Dana followed her. I walked over to the guys and started to blame them and stuff.

Joni

I walked over to the bathroom to hide. Oh my god. I slapped him. I slapped Dana. 'Oh hey. You're hot' SLAP. What was I thinking? Then again, I did think I was in a dream.

"Hey," he grabbed my arm, "you alright?" It's Dana. Oh god it's Dana. I looked past him and I saw Kate flailing her arms at the guys and then she started being tickled. I couldn't hear what she was saying though. Is her bathroom really that far away? "Hello?"

I snapped my gaze back to him. "Yeah. I'm fine. I'm just really embarrassed. I am sooo sorry I slapped you."

"You better be. You can make it up by taking me on a date."

"A date?"

"Yeah. So. You should call me."

"But...I don't have you're number..."

"Then we should probably change that." He smiled and I gave him my phone and he pulled out his. He gave me his number and then took mine. "Cya 'round." He turned and walked back over to the guys. Everyone hugged Kathlin and waved 'bye' to me. I stood next to Kate as everyone left the house. Just before Dana closed the door, he winked at me. Dana winked at me. The boy who I've obsessed over for years. The one with a snapback and curly brown hair. The one with an amazing singing voice. Winked at me. Now I have his number and I can call him and ask him on a date.

Yes. Dana Vaughns will be the death of me.

"How did that happen?" I pushed Kathlin and she fell a few steps back.

"How did what happen?"

"That! Will being your brother!"

"Well you see. My parents got married. And my dad would have had to stick his p-"

"Ok! Ok! I get it. Geez. You're so gross."

"Well you asked..." She smiled then picked up the small bag with her present in it. "So whatcha get me love bug?"

"Open it and find out for yourself." She moved the tissue paper aside and stuffed her hand into the cute blue bag. She pulled out her tiny present and she face filled with glee.

"A tiny sketchbook!!! AHHH." She hugged the sketchbook then she hugged me. More like suffocated me. Geez. We went upstairs to her bedroom and played a movie. I went to pop some popcorn and when I came back she was already scribbling down in the sketchbook I bought her.

"Do you think I should call Dana?" I suddenly blurt out. Kathlin seemed stunned by the question cause she momentarily stopped moving her pencil. Then she kept going.

"No. No I don't think you should."

"Why not?"

"Cause."

"Cause why?"

"Just cause." I took away her pencil and she slapped her palm against the page. She forcefully closed the book and looked at me.

"Tell me why." I calmly said.

"Cause I don't think Dana deserves to have a girl like you! And if you go to him he'll just end up screwing you over and you'll get hurt and broken. Then I'll have to listen to you cry and say how stupid you felt. Plus, you just met the dude."

"So what! It's Dana Vaughns. The love of my life and you don't know that that'll happen Kate."

"Well what do you want me to say? 'Oh yeah. Go for it Joni! You're young! Live your life!'"

"Well yeah. That's what I was hoping for, yeah."

"Well. Go ahead," she grabbed the pencil from my hand and started back on her doodle, "I'll be here waiting." Alrighty then. That was odd.

"I'll do it later."

"I still don't want you to do it."

"I know you don't." I started to play with her black, silky hair. Should I still call him? I do owe him a date. And it is Dana Vaughns, so I have to. Right?

A/N: Oh gawd. I cannot wait as this story progresses. The next chapter should be a little different. <3 stay lovely love bugs.
