Dakota's POV
my cast wasn't very comfortable.
guess it was better than a hurting arm though. and hey, I could finally say I've had a broken bone.
when my parents had arrived, they were frantic. they did all the paperwork and junk and before long the doctor was putting my cast on. it was green, just line I requested. I would have usually chosen blue or black, but I wanted it to match melanie's eyes. I didn't tell her that though.
I used my free hand to text Alex while all this was going on. I didn't quite think she'd be that worried; I didn't even really expect her to reply. I mean, she never returned my calls or did the things she told me she was going to do. I don't want to call her unreliable, bur well, she kinda was.
but I I figured it would be common courtesy to tell her what was going on.
surprisingly, she seemed fairly concerned about it. I got a reply almost immediately. I didn't really have time to talk so I just told her I'd call her later.
Melanie stayed with me the whole time in the hospital. she never left my side. my parents seemed to like her. that was a relief. when it came time to pay the bill and go home, I caughef a moment alone with her.
"melanie, I am so beyond glad that you ran into me today. meeting you had made my whole life more interesting." the sincerity in my voice put a smile on her face.
"well I can't sat I'm glad I hit you, bur no matter how our meeting was brought about, I'm happy it happened. you are one of the most intriguing girls I've ever met." she pushed a lock of hair behind my ear.
I smiled back at her and this time, she was the one that leaned in for a kiss.
my heart started pounding and my breathing picked up. her lips were soft and gentle. and this time she let them linger on mine.
they moved perfectly against each other and I was losing myself completely in her kiss. finally, after about thirty seconds she pulled away slowly and stroked my face one more time.
"you are amazing. Dakota Striker. I can't believe i've lived my whole life without you."
sooo I want my readers to take a vote. who do you want Dakota to end up with? Melanie or Alex? I need your help choosing! comment please! thanks for reading :)

Melanie was the first one to sign my cast. I hung around the waiting room a few moments afterward, knowing that we were gonna have to leave and finally separate. I wad dreading it and outside the door we had one final hug, neither of us wanting to say goodbye. she gave me her cell number and told me to call her whenever I wanted. she also told me shed be by to check one whenever I gave her permission. I was glad about that.
I had never been so impacted by a person i'd just met before. it was like we were soulmate that came across each other in a bit of a strange way.
but meeting her had turned my whole world upside down. both in a good way and a bad way. I didn't have a single doubt about my feelings for Alexis. I was head over heels in love with that girl. I would have given anything to have her. but then this new wonderful amazing fantastic beautiful interesting sweet awesome girl just stumbles intoy life and kisses me and shows obvious interest. what am I supposed to do about that? i know. I'll be like Jim Halpert and make a pros and cons list for each person. (shout out to all my fellow Office fans!)
Pros:
Alex, on the one hand, was my best friend. I knew her better than I knew myself. she was a loyal friend and cared about me. she made me laugh and she was always so sweet to me. she put up with all my crap from day to day and I could talk to her about anything. I knew that in one way or another, she loved me.
Melanie, on the other hand, seemed perfect for me in every way. we had so much in common ans we had serious chemistry. she made me feel on top of the world. I connected with her more in three hours than I had with other people in three years. she was available ans ready to have a stable and commited relationship with me. not to mention that just looking in her eyes made me go weak in the knees.
Cons:
Alex was. slut. I'm not trying to mean, that's just a fact. even she will admit to it. she was always partying and hurting herself in one way or another even though she knew it killed me to see it. she wasn't extremely reliable. with all the guys all over her, I don't think she would be able to have a commited relationship with me. she was always busy. 24/7. she never had time for me. so why should that change if I was her girlfriend? and that assuming that she would even want me to be. I didn't even know if she liked me like that.
I had only just met Melanie, whereas I had known Alex since middle school. I guess I couldn't know everything about her in a few hours. we didn't go to the same school I didn't know how often we'd be able to see each other.
that's about all the cons I can think of for her. :P
ugh! I didn't know what to do. but I guess a good place to start would be to go home, get in a few episodes of the office therapy, and call Alex.
