The Player Games (Dana Vaughns Love Story)

Chapter Twenty-Nine

Instead of making drama, he left.

He walked out of my house, without giving me a second glance, and left. I was thankful for no drama, though it hurt a lot that I was ending it completely.

I was sad that it was over, because earlier I was willing to work for it. Now, I was just done. I wasn't going to stick with him just because I love him. He cheated on me. I deserved more than that, and I wasn't weak enough to go back to him. I might love him, but that doesn't mean he loves me.

I was proud of myself, though. Proud that I was still able to stand up for myself and able to show my strength in a situation like this.

I pull out my phone, biting back tears. Boys aren't worth killing yourself over, and their not worth crying over. Even if you did love them.

I open up to Will's contact, clicking on it to call him.

"Hello?" He answered quickly, and I could hear something drop in the back ground. "Ari? Were you at Baileys grave? I didn't want to disturb you, so I left you alone. Sorry I didn't come after you. I should have came after you." I giggle at his quick responses, shaking my head even if he didn't see. "Its fine, Will," I say, and bite my lip. "I wanted to be alone. Can you come over?" I can hear him nod against the phone, "of course! I'll see you in like five minutes." I say okay, before hanging up and going to my room to charge my phone. I noticed a piece of paper on the table near my television set, and curiously look at it.

Opening it, I noticed Dana's hard to read handwriting:

Dear Arizona,

This is what I normally do and we both know that. I break girls hearts, but I never wanted wanted to break yours. You have to hearts, though, you know? Because when I broke your heart, I broke mine too. I know you most likely won't take me back, but if you do, I promise to give you all I have and every single bit of it.

I love you, Princess.

I'm so freaking sorry for hurting you. You shouldn't want a cheating bastard like me, and I myself am so conflicted in what I want you to do. I want you to be happy, so if you're going to be happy without me, so be it. But I also want to be selfish and have you to myself. I spent most of my life not getting what I want and that is still going to happen. Because I don't want you, I need you.

I already can't live with myself over the fact that I am already hurting you so much.

If you come back to me, I promise that I will give you all you need and more. I understand that it will take sometime for you to trust me again, but we can make it work.

When you love someone, you should do anything to make it work.

My saying is the complete opposite of that "if you love something, let it go" shit. I love you and I don't want to let you go. Why let the person you love go, just to see if they're going to come back? They'll probably end up finding someone to fill in the hole that the past relationship left and the thought of you with another guy is making me so disgusted with my thoughts.

I love you.

If you come back, I promise to give you eveything. I promise to help you gain your trust for me again.

I love you.

Dana

I bite my lip, putting down the note already feeling tears come. Before I could even process my own thoughts of the letter, I heard the front door open. I quickly shut the letter, putting it on my dresser to keep out of sights from Will.

He comes in the door, giving me a smile. "I brought tacos, ice cream, five big sized hershey bars and cookie dough. Let's eat!" I giggle at him and shake my head. "Don't mind if I do."

After stuffing ourselves with tacos, Will and I sat on the couch with ice cream tubs in both of our hands as we played my stereo system.

"I should have stopped you," He said, after shoving some of his ice cream in his mouth. "I care about you, you know?" I giggle at him, and he gives me a serious look. "I know, Will," I say, placing my hand on his arm and rubbing it a little. "I want you to know I care about you too. I can't help but thank you enough for being here for me." He looks at me intently, biting his lip. Before I could process what was happening, Will's lips were on mine in a swift movement. My eyes widen, but I didn't think.

I kissed him back.

And, it felt nice. It was different. Kissing the guy you never thought who would kiss you, but it was nice. His lips felt good on mine, and, for some reason, I couldn't pull away. He had me captavated into his kiss, but then I started thinking. I started thinking about Dana, and I pull back quickly, my eyes opening and widening, to see Will was doing the same. "I-I don't," He stutters, standing up. "I'm sorry, I didn't, Oh my God I have to go." And before I could call out his name, he practically ran out the door. I stood up looking at the door, confused.

All I could think was, what the hell am I getting myself into?

MAuuahahahhahaha plot twist.
