Stay Strong (IM5/Dana Vaughns)

Chapter 7: THANK GOD!

Dana's POV:

The boys and I were taking an intermission from the show. I can't wait to talk to City. I just need to tell her why I did what I did because I still like her. I need to explain to her what happened.

Tonight she was just, unbelieveable. And she made me realize, that I do have strong feelings for her. And the way she sang those heartbreak songs, it made me think that I need to apologize fo being such an ass to her.

"Guys I'm gonna go into my dressing room for a sec." I said before slipping away. I manage to make it inside without being asked any questions. When I get inside, I sit in front of the mirror and just starts rehearsing what I'm going o say after the show.

City's POV:

After I preformed, I walk into the my dressing and squealed at Lily. She turned around startled at my reaction.

"What the hell, Garcia! You scared the crap out of me!" we both start laughing.

"It worked, the plan worked!" this time we squealed together.

"OMG! Yeah so what happened?" she asked. "Okay, so I was singing 'How to Be a Heartbreaker' and I looked at a cute guy behind me and winked at him. Dana was pissed but so was Gabe. Then as I was walking off stage, he grabbed my wrist and told me to meet him at th ice cream shop after the Meet' N' Greet!"

"Well, you sure showed him! That asshole!" she mummbled the last part. "So... Anyone way, what was exactly what he said? I'm sorry I just want to use his words against when I beat his ass to a pulp."

I laugh. "Okay he said, 'City, I really like you. But right now, I can't have a relationship. I just don't think it would be a good idea while your on tour and living with us...'" I start to trail off. "Wait, what? How did he know that was going to live with them. That wasn't part of the deal. The only know I would live with them is..."

"Gabe." says Lily realizing what happened.

I storm out of the room, yelling "Gabe!" all around the backstage area. "Gabe! Where the hell are you?" I keep yelling.

"Yo, City are you all right?" says David as he and Will block the doorway to Gabe's dressing room.

"I'll be fine as soon as I see Gabe. Now let me through! I know you guys know!"I yell trying to push past them.

"I'm sorry City but we can't. You know why." says Will trying to calm me down.

"Fine I'll just g-- GABE!" I scream in anger as he walks out of the dressing room.

"What the hell is with all the yelling?" he yells at me.

"I know what you did. Okay? I know you told Dana that we were cousins and knowing you, you probably got him to let me go too. Okay? Don't deny it!" I said.

"How did you-" I cut him off.

"Dana said 'I don't think it would be a good idea will your on tour AND LIVING WITH US!" I said emphasizing the last part.

"Okay fine, I did it. I'm sorry but knowing you got hurt in the past and won't tell anyone about it, I just want to protect you. And for God sakes, you slept with him! I just wanted to be here for you. Okay? I'm really sorry." he pratically pleaded.

"You know what Gabe? I know you are just looking out for me but fuck you! You ruined my life! Well guess what? I'm not the same bullshit princess I was 4 years of ago. I grew up and you can't decide for who I sleep with even though Dana and I never slept together!"

"Veronica don't you dare lie to me! I know you and Dana slept together" Gabe screamed at me.

"Now we didn't." we all jerked our heads to see Dana standing in front of his dressing room. He walks up to us and places his arm around my waist.

"What do you mean?" Gabe yelled. "You said that the both of you slept together."

"What the hell Dana?" I said as I slip out of his grip and hit his arm.

"First of all, OW!" he said as he grabbed his arm, hurt. "Second of all, David automatically knew I was with a girl and when I mention that it was you, Gabe flipped. Everyone automatically came to conclusions, without letting me explain what happened."

I look around to see the boys, looking at each other nervously, scratching the backs of their heads and looking away from me and Dana.

"I'm sorry for not trusting you." mumbled Gabe.

"I'm sorry Gabe I couldn't hear you, can you repeat that please." I spoke placing my hand behind my ear.

"Hahaha very funny Garcia." we all laughed.

"So, Gabe. Can I properly ask for your blessing, to ask City out on a date?" Dana ask scratching the back of his head as he spoke. Everyone looks at Gabe. I bite my lower lip, hoping Gabe will say yes.

Dana slips his arm once again around my waist as I place me head on his shoulder, waiting for his answer.

"Fine you guys can date." Everyone cheers. Lily comes up to me and pulls me into a huge hug. Cole walks up to Dana and gives him a bro hug before giving me a real hug. The boys and Lily are giving us hugs and were celebrating before Gabe cuts us off.

"Woah, woah, woah. I didn't say my conditions yet!" Everyone groaned. "Okay, okay. 1st condition. You and Dana have to be home by 10:30 on ever date you guys go on." We all nod knowing that's reasonable.

"2. You and Dana can't sleep together until I approve it. Okay?" Dana and I started blushing before nodding our heads.

"And 3. You guys have to have a chaperone one every date you go on."

"GABE!" I yelled. "It will only last for the first 3 months and Lily doesn't count."

"Woah, woah, woah. Why can't I chaperone them?" she asks stepping in.

"Because knowing you, your going to come up with an excuse to leave them by themselves." he says.

"That is very true! I'm sorry City." she says, stepping back towards Cole. He grabs her and gives her a side hug. Man, those two seem close tonight even though Cole has a girlfriend!

"The minute you guys break one of those rules, your over! Okay?" Gabe asked seriously. Dana and I both groaned yes before Gabe nodded and started to turn away. At the last second, he turned back and started speaking to Dana.

"Also Dana, I understand if you and City both decide to go your seperate ways or if she breaks up with you. I'm fine with it. But, he you break her heart, I beat yor ass!" he said trying to tower over Dana. I bit my lip trying not to laugh at Gabe's attempt to act tough,

"I got it. Anyways, I think I like her too much to hurt her." he says kissing my cheek. I blush crazily. I see Lily making fun of me and Dana. I rolled my eyes at her childness.

"Okay, okay. No PDA!" yells David. We laugh.

"Okay come boys we have concert to rock!" The boys all said their byes as they walk back on stage, Lily and I squealing once again.
