On My Own: Summer Vacation a Diggy Simmons Love Story

Chapter 42: Secrets

Diggy P.O.V

The next morning I woke up early to call my mom.

“Hey Ma.” I said into the phone.

“Hey Daniel.” She said. “How is it back in Malibu?”

“It’s cool but I don’t think Elana had that much of a fun vacation.” I said.

“Well she disobeyed us so that’s her consequences.” She explained.

“I don’t think she meant to mom.” I said scratching my head.

“Well when she gets home I’m going to talk to her.” She spoke. “Is that all you called me for anyway?”

“Sort of because it was on my mind but how are you today?” I smiled.

Elana P.O.V

I got out of bed and put on my robe. I had another nightmare. I was tired of these nightmares and I wanted to be at peace. I walked to the sun room and sat on the couch to absorb all the beautiful sunlight coming in. That’s until when Jionni called me.

“Sorry had to call you early.” He apologized.

“It’s cool. So what’s up?” I asked.

“Nothing but old ceiling in this prison.” He laughed. “What about you?”

“Just woke up.” I lay back on the couch.

“You look beautiful when you wake up. I remember I used to watch you sleep because I couldn’t sleep. I would look at you breathe and watch you turn over. I could tell when you had a bad dream or felt uncomfortable because you toss and turn or if it wasn’t that you’d wake up in a cold sweat, shaking, with tears in the eyes. I know you too well.” He reminisced.

“Half of those nightmares were caused by you.” I said coldly.

“I know and I’m sorry.” He said in a slight whisper. “I regret everything.”

I didn’t say anything but continued listening to his breathing.

“How’s Diggy?” He asked.

“He’s fine.” I answered.

“Does he know you had a bad dream this morning?” He questioned.

“No! How did you know?” A smile came across my face.

He laughed. “I know everything about you just by watching you be you. Plus you get these little attitudes like you don’t want to talk to nobody afterwards. How does he not know these things? Obviously I’m a better boyfriend then he is.” Jionni chuckled.

“Uh…no and anyways I have to go.” I stood up.

“Alright well I’ll call you later.” He said before hanging up.

I walked back to the bedroom and prepared myself to go to Mr. Schultz for another visit. Mr. Schultz is okay but I love Dr. Schultz better. He gets me more. I took a shower and did my hygiene before putting on my clothes. I walked downstairs to the kitchen. Diggy sat at the counter talking to Tristen.

“Where you going beautiful?” He asked.

“Therapy. I see you guys later.” I kissed his cheek and gave Tristen a hug.

I left the house and drove to the office. Mr. Schultz chomped on his gum as he looked over my past visits. He irritated me but is very helpful.

“Alright Elana. Do you still have depression or stress?” He asked.

“No. I just keep having nightmares.” I said.

“And you say you’re still talking to Jionni am I correct?” He looked at me.

“Yes.” I responded.

“Why is that?”

“Even though I hate him I still have this soft spot for him and I also feel guilty because some of this is my fault…..”

Tristen P.O.V

I walked past the bedrooms in the halls. Terra’s door was open and she was punching a bean bag chair. I suppose she was practicing for a fight.

“What are you doing?” I poked my head in.

“Mind your business.” She said rudely.

I smiled. “Whatever you’re doing is not going to work. You’re going to get beat up regardless of how many times you hit the chair.”

She stopped and gave me a mean look.

“I wouldn’t worry about me Miss Tristen because in a matter of time you’re going to lose Twist. You may not think so but I know so. What I hear behind closed doors will come out. Don’t worry you’re not the only one in danger. You see Elana thinks she’s queen but Diggy only treats her like that because he’s been feeling super bad about something else. I can’t wait.” She smiled.

“What are you talking about?” Tristen asked.

“I’m all saying is what I hear behind closed doors will come out. As much as I don’t like you or Elana I feel bad about it but not too bad because both of you deserve it.” She said.

I walked to my bedroom with chills. I’m hoping she’s just lying but she seems like she isn’t.
