The Player Games (Dana Vaughns Love Story)

Chapter Thirty

I woke up the next day on the couch and to Mummy's voice.

After Will left last night, I watched Supernatural and cried over how beautiful Misha Collins is. Oh my God, Misha Collins is beautiful. Pun intended. I thought a lot about everything that was happening and I felt like I made up my mind. I just hope it would be the right way to go.

I looked up to find Mummy standing there, arms crossed, looking at me with her eyebrows raised. "Why aren't you at school, Missy?" My eyes widened and I look at the time, jumping up. "Dammit," I run towards my bedroom,"Thank you for telling me."

Once I made it inside, I pulled on leggings and my misfits sweater. I didn't feel like dressing up, and I was late anyways. I push my bookbag on my shoulders, running down the stairs. Of course neither of the boys came to get me, they were both either torn over me, or feeling like we were awkward.

I made it in time for the beginning of third period, and drop myself into my seat.

Dana glanced at me for a second before turning away.

I sigh to myself, tapping on his shoulder.

He looks back at me with hopeful eyes, and I feel myself crumbling. He looked genuinely sorry for what had happened.

"What did I miss?" I ask, and I see his hopeful dimeaner fall. "I have no idea what we should be doing."

"Page three hundred forty five, questions one through forty, evens only," He answers, biting his lip. He looks down, before turning away. I feel a little guilty for kissing Will back. I had made up my mind that I didn't want Will, I wanted Dana. I didn't just pretend love him, I actually did. And I didn't care that he cheated - well, I did, but I was willingly to try again.

"We need to talk during lunch," I tell him and he turns back to me with wide eyes. "I read your letter."

He nods, turning back to his paper and I catch his smile. Without even knowing it, I smile to myself.

I made it to lunch, and Dana was already waiting for me at the table. He smiled widely when he saw me, standing up. I noticed Will behind him, frowning. Before Dana could move anywhere, Will pulled him over, telling Dana something, making him frown, but nod and saying something in return.

He headed toward me, and Will sent me a reluctant smile before walking away to the lunch line.

"Hey," Dana said, smiling at me. "Want to talk outside?" I nod quickly. I wanted to be able to think about my decision on my own; I didn't want anyone's input or opinion.

We walk out together, and I make him follow me towards our courts, and to the bleachers.

A group of guys were playing football, and Dana and I sat at the top part of the bleachers watching them throw it around.

We sat in silence for a little bit, until I let out a sigh, and he finally opened his mouth.

"I love you," He says, quietly. "I'm stupid. I try to push people I care about away because it scares the living hell out of me, and then I realized that I would rather have you than live with the pain off not having you. I know it's too late, and I'm basically making up excuses, but I do love you. So much. More then I should."

I look at him, to see that he's already looking at me, and I smile. He smiles back, hope in his eyes.

"I love you," I begin. "I understand that your not perfect. You've struggled with things just like I have and we both are a little screwed up. At first, I felt completely betrayed. Then I realized that we both had something in common- we run away from things. Will kissed me last night, and I kissed him back all because I wanted to run away from this big mess that was made. And I had an illusion that it felt right; but I know it didn't, because even right after the kiss, I thought of you. I don't want to run away from you, Dana, and I don't want you to run away from me. We need to be able to talk about our problems that way we can both work them out together. We're all in this together."

He continues to stare at me for a little, and his eyes scrunch up a little, looking like he was going to cry.

"You're one of the best things that has ever happened to me, Arizona Naveen, I hope you know that."

"I'm still happening." I say, placing a kiss onto his lips.

Wow, I haven't written in forever I'm so sorry. I had a writers block and everytime I tried to write I got distracted: con's to being ADHD.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I'm going to try to update with the EPILOUGE soon.

Love you guys :-)
