Dana’s POV 

“Oh my god Dana watch it!” she screamed, and I quickly hit the breaks and just in time. Thank god we didn’t just get in an accident. “What are you thinking? If you cant drive then you shouldn’t have a license!” she said I rolled my eyes “well sorry, I had something on my mind. Just stop crying you’re acting like a big baby” I say a little to harshly, and she turns to me with her wet eyes, “fuck off Vaughns you don’t know what I’m going through, and your one of the reasons why I’m crying. So its best to just stop speaking okay?” she snapped. This is not going well for me, I am one of the reasons why she is crying? What have I done that is so bad? I get the fact that I am mean to her most of the time, but that’s only to her, if she thinks that I’m a dick to everyone else then she’s wrong, I’m actually really nice. I don’t know I just love to piss her off and make fun of her, which may sound very harsh, but…….oh I cant explain it. 

We arrive at my house, and as soon as I stop the car, she walks straight out. “Wipe your tears before you enter the house” I say she completely blanks me and runs in the house. 

Lexi’s POV 

I ran straight into my room and started crying into my pillow. All of this crying just bought back memories bad memories. I haven’t cried as in properly cried in 6 years. which was when my dad decided to tell us that he didn’t love us.  I have cried at things such as sad movies or sad stories, or cries of joy, but I have never cried because I was hurt, and even if I did want to cry I kept it in. But for some reason today is the day where I choose to let it all out, and the worst thing is, it was in front of Dana. 

Do you wanna know why I hate Dana so much? Its not the fact that he is always mean to me, and takes the piss or annoys me, I can take that. It's’s the fact that he reminds me of my Dad. He is the popular good looking guy at school, which was my Dad when he was in high school, Dana is the bad boy player that can get any girl he wants and that’s exactly how my Dad was like. There are times where I feel like I will fall for him, but I just remember that his personality is like my Dads, and I hate my Dad. I know that he isn’t this mean to everybody else, it's just me and I don’t know why.

A few hours later. 

I’ve calmed down a bit, and I thought to myself if I didn’t make myself happy I would get no where. So now I am setting up the dinner table with Joni. “Alexis sweety can you please call Dana down here to eat?”

“sure” I say and I make my way to Dana’s room. I knock on the door but no one is answering “Dana? its time to eat, come down” no one answers so I open the door. “Dana?” he isn’t in his room, but his balcony door is opened, so I decide to go out, and when I do I see Dana sitting on the roof. I didn’t think he saw me, so I decide to climb up. But since I am not an athletic person I struggled. I try to climb up when I slip and I almost fall, when Dana grabs my hand and pulls me up. 

We are now standing close to each other and he is holding my hand, I look behind me to find that we are very high up and I get kind of light headed and started to fall back a little, but Dana holds onto my waist. “Still scared of heights then I see” he says then he sits down. And I sit next to him. “what’s up why are you up here?” he asks “your mom wants you to come down and eat” he doesn’t answer and  he lies down and stares at the sky, with his two hands supporting his head. “Why are you up here?” I ask “I’m always up here when I need to calm down” he said not taking his eyes off the dark sky. “, you upset about what happened to you and Shannon?” I ask and he replied “well yeah, she has been my girlfriend for 6 months, longest relationship I have ever been in, and we just end up break up just like that. But what she did to you was pathetic, she told me she never liked you and that she only pretended to like you. She was two faced and I didn’t even know.” He said. We just ended up in silence, him lying down and me sitting down staring at the sky. Dana broke the silence “Lexi I’m sorry for making you cry” he said and then sat up, I was shocked “why are you saying that?” I ask “well… I thought about it, and you are growing on me” he said and I smiled but then went back to a straight face. “And why is that?” I ask “I don’t know, I just do I think I’m going crazy that I’m actually starting to lighten up on my enemy. But that doesn’t mean that I won't tease you still.” He says “so what does this mean Vaughns?” I ask “do you actually wanna give it a shot at being friends, and not trying to kill each other since, you will be living with me for two months?” he asks, and I think about it and he just stares at me waiting for my answer. And then I make up my mind. “Oh why not, but I will still try and get on your nerves too” I say and he smiles at me “deal” he says and then shakes my hand. We end up just staring in each others eyes and we still havent let go of each others hands. It felt like an hour, I never noticed how beautiful his brown eyes were, I always used to notice the bad things about him, and not the good things, which I really need to start doing. I cleared my throat, and looked away and let go of his hand. “u-umm, we uh, we need to uhhh……eat” I tell him. And then make my way off the roof. Why was I stuttering what the heck?

The next day at school, I have music class with Dana,  I came in late and everyone had their eyes on me, including Dana who just gave me a smile and I smiled back. “Miss Cruz you are late, and why are you soaked?” Miss Barker said “I’m so sorry, but as you can see it is raining outside, and I was running late and I broke my skateboard on the way to school” I said, “why didn’t you just get Dana to drive you to school, since you live with him” Shannon said in a bitchy way, Dana rolled his eyes “that’s enough of you Shannon, and Lexi go and take a seat” she said and pointed at the chairs. I sat down next to Dana. “hey” he whispered “hey” I whispered back, “you look a mess” he said then smiling a little “thank you, that’s what every girl wants to hear isn’t it?” I asked sarcastically and he laughed a little. “Miss Cruz, since you have a lot to say, why don’t you perform you solo piece in front of the class?” I nodded and grabbed the guitar that was at the front of the room, and put my capo on the 6th fret. “So what are you going to sing?” Miss Barker asked “Dear no one by Tori Kelly” I replied, and I glanced over at Dana who’s face brightened up, because everyone knows he has a crush on Tori Kelly. I started singing the song….. (my cover in the link guys, hope you like it:D)

“cause if your out there I swear to be good to you,

But I’m done looking for my future someone,

And when the time is right you’ll be here but for now,

Dear no one this is your love song….”

Dana’s POV 

I don’t know why, but when she was singing the song, I felt hypnotized, she looked like and sounded like and Angel. I knew she could sing but I never knew she could sing that well. 

After music, me and Lexi walked together to the caffeteria, and grabbed some food “oh woah your hair has gotten so curly” I say to her while she puts an apple on her tray. “Oh fudge, this is not going well for me” she replies messing with her hair “leave it, you look fine, besides what’s wrong with curly hair, I have curly hair, although it looks way better on me” I said smiling and she rolled her eyes and we both made our way to the table we usually sit at, with Alex, Gabe, Cassie, Cole, David, and Will. “Hey guys” Lexi said happily and I sat next to her, and everyone was just staring at us. “Looks like you two are on good terms now?” Alex asked and we just both nodded “looks like someone has had some bonding time with each other if ya know what I’m saying” Cole says with a huge smirk on his face and doing that weird wiggly thing with his eye brows “oh god no! me and Dana ew… but we did decide that we should give it a try to be friends” Lexi said, “yeah…. Enemies then friends then lovers! that’s what I predict” Cassie said while eating her salad “yeah… that will happen when I’m dead” I say and Lexi glances over at me but when I turn to her she quickly looks away which makes me smile.

“Dana! sweety can you please, take Lexi to her room, because she is outside asleep, and its getting late” my mom says “Gahhhh! Fine, fine!” I say and then make my way onto the porch, where I see Lexi asleep on the bench, with paper everywhere. I just stand over her with my hands in my pocket, and just stared at her. I kneel down in front of the table where she is working and I see a book, filled with song ideas, she’s always liked writing song just not showing them. I look through the book and I see my name as one of the song ideas, and my eyes widened. I read the lyrics…….

They were awesome, were these lyrics about me? Does she possibly like me? I put the book down and kneel down next to her, just looking at her. Her face, her nose her sleeping eyes, her lips…. I never saw her like this before, she looked so peaceful and beautiful. Could I possibly be falling- nope, no I am not. Dana just stop, honestly she’s not even your type! I decide that I should carry her to her room, so I pick her up bridal style and walk up the stairs. I saw my mom in the kitchen smirking at us and I gave her the evils. I place Lexi on her bed, and tuck her in, and I put her hair behind her ear and she moves slowly, I try not to move so that she doesn’t wake up. I find myself leaning into her, and kissing her on the forehead. When I realised what I just did, I quickly backed away and left the room as fast as I could and went into my room and collapsed on the bed and stared at the ceiling. 

What the heck am I doing? Did I just really kiss Lexi? I swear I am messed up, but how about if I do like her…
