Daughter of Kellin Quinn

Don't Tell Tony

*Copeland's POV*

"How was your first day of school?" Jaime asked before shoving a spoonful of rice and beef in his mouth.

"It was great." No, it was boring and full of whores. I never wanna go back there again. "I have to do a presentation of Austin Carlile to my class on Friday."

"Why Austin?" Vic asked.

"Because everyone knows who he is and I can't risk bringing in someone famous to present. Alli brags about him to everyone so it won't be obvious. I was going to bring my dad in, but you know, fan girls. Besides, they would ask me how I could get a hold of someone famous. I'm keeping my real identity a secret from people at school."

They all gave me weird looks.

"How are you keeping it a secret if everyone already knows your name?" Vic took a sip of his water.

"They don't. In school, I'm not Copeland Bostwick. I'm Danielle Quinn. I can't have people know who I am."

"Why?" Mike asked. "That's pretty stupid to hide who you are."

It was too much to explain. "I have my reasons."

There was an awkward silence for about a minute. "I'm stuffed," I said backing away from the table. "That was an amazing dinner Jaime and Vic." I turned to Tony and Mike. "But no thanks to you two," I winked at them. I got up and walked over to the sink, applying soap all over.

"What do you think you're doing?" Vic said walking over to me.

"You cooked so I'm washing the dishes." I took the plate from his hand and placed it in the sink. It didn't take me very long to do because none of us were sloppy eaters.

"If you insist," Vic agreed, handing me everyone elses dirty plates and glasses.

"I don't have any pajamas with me to sleep in. I forgot to bring them from home." I was sad. I know it seems pretty stupid to be sad about, but they had storm troopers on them and Tony would've loved it.

"You can borrow some of my pajamas?" Jaime offered. Uh, no thanks.

"You can wear mine, Copeland. They have turtles on them if that's okay. They're fleece so it'll keep you warm. I have extras." Tony pulled out a pair of black pajamas that had green little turtles everywhere. Obviously he would have something like that. I took them and changed in the bathroom. I came out and rolled up my sleeves.

"I'm not tired though," I groaned.

"I'll be right back. I need to go change in mine now." Tony left the room and into the bathroom he went.

I approached a room that didn't look familiar. I think it was the room that Pierce the Veil practiced in. I saw a CD player and I clicked on the play button. The song, "A Song For Mama," by Boys 2 Men came on.

Without hesitation, I closed my eyes and pretended I was at prom. I always dreamt of going to prom and dancing with my partner, being the center of attention. But only on this specific night. Everyone would surround us in the middle, as they stood on the sidelines of the gym. We would slow dance passionately and end with a delicate kiss. And at the end, everyone would clap for us.

But this time, what I was feeling was real. Someone was pressed against me as they took my cold hand and placed it on their shoulder, taking my other hand in theirs. They pulled me closer to them as they put their other hand behind my lower back. The person guided me throughout the oddly placed house. My heart was beating faster and faster. I lowered my head on their chest to feel their heart beat; my eyes were still closed. I couldn't wait any longer to tell him. "I love you, Tony."
