Destination Fear - Dakota Laden

part 8

Waking up you are met with an empty bed, the warmth no longer from the boy you had lay beside. Sighing you sit up,rubbing your eyes. As you hear the bathroom door click you look hoping it was the brunette who had spent the night with you. Your eyes meet Chelsea's as you look at her confused. A laugh sneaks out of her mouth. "Me and Dakota swapped rooms because the lads were being too noisy this morning whilst I was getting ready" she says fixing her top. You laugh and nod before climbing out the bed and going to get ready for the day. You felt slightly angry that Dakota never bothered to even tell you he was swapping rooms. After everything you did last night, he was your first time and he cant even stay the whole night? You shower,dry your hair and do your makeup. Making sure to add a flavoured lipgloss that made you feel confident. You decided on a different type of outfit. As you go to get dressed you hear chelsea shout "lizzy I'm going to take our stuff to the RV and then go to the boys room,come meet me when you are finished!" You shout back an okay as the door shuts. Slipping on a long sleeved tight grey top you slide a black tight skirt over it,making sure it is tucked in as you slide on your pair of black heels,tightening them around your ankles. You adjust your belt and finally put on all your jewelry. You walk out of the bathroom,putting your makeup and old clothes into a bag and spraying a bit of perfume before leaving the room. Pulling up your phone you see a text "yo liz we are outside" you hand in your room keys before heading outside to the small group. Tanners eyes meet you instantly as he sucks in a breath of air "oh damn" he smirks as the others turn to you. Clueless you look at them with pure confusion."what?" Dakotas the first to speak as his eyes glide across your outfit "nothing.... erm we are all walking to the shop and then to a park for some air..the RV will meet us there  later" he says without letting his eyes leave your body. You just nod, walking past the boys and begin to walk infront  with chelsea. "You have Dakota right around your finger...and tanner" chelsea laughs making you roll your eyes and chuckle.  You try to listen to what the boys are speaking about behind you both. "Dude she looks so hot today" you hear tanner say casually. "Yeah and she's mine,back off bro" dakotas voice showing jealousy.

You all go to the shop and end up sitting on the grass outside the park. You hadn't really felt like speaking. Sitting you flick through your phone as they all chatter away. A message pops up at the top. "You okay gorgeous? X" you just sigh,dismissing the message and going back to looking at instagram. Alex must of sensed something was wrong as you got a message and you looked up to see him quickly typing on his phone,ignoring the others.

A -"Hey? You okay. You are really quiet."

L-"Im fine....just not feeling to great"

A-"okay,what has he done Lizzy. I know you like the back of my hand"

L-" Me and Dak yanno... went all the way last night and he left without even waking me this morning. No word"

A-" oh you did? Fuck sake...I swear he doesn't understand girls..."

L-" Hey mister dont be rude haha"

Alex is unable to respond when tanner robs his phone from him joking about. "What you guys chatting about" Alex jumps for his phone as tanner begins reading "I swear he doesn't understand girls...who's this then?" Tanner laughs as alex snatches the phone. You feel dakotas eyes on you. Grabbing your bag,you stand up. Running,not caring where you were going. Tears fill your eyes as you hear chelsea shouting your name. You run and run,not caring about the pain your heels were causing. You find yourself in a small tree area,you sit down behind a tree as your tears finally flow. You felt embarrassed. They thought you were a child anyway and now it just seems you were gossiping the Alex and being immature. You felt your phone vibrating in your bag over and over. Text after text flooded your phone. You are startled by footsteps appearing beside you. You expected it to be one of them, maybe they followed you. You didnt bother looking up and kept your head in your hands. Move noise appeared beside you. "Speak to me" Alex's voice soft and guilt ridden. You look up to his watery eyes. "Why are you upset" you were more concerned for alex than your own problems now. "I keep messing you and Dakota up. First when I left you and dakota yelled at me ....now this"  he leant against the tree. "None of this is your fault,maybe I'm just being immature" you sigh resting your head on the blondes shoulder. "You arent..when you left, Dakota and Tanner found it funny. They were laughing so I ran after you,I was scared you were gonna get lost" you sigh and whisper how you were fine. Pulling out your phone you see 10 messages all from Alex and Chelsea. None from Dakota. You close your eyes trying not to cry. Was he just with you for sex? You feel your phone vibrate in your hand as you see Chelsea's name pop up. Looking at alex he nods as you answer it
