Dana got to the park only a few minutes behind her excpected arival. Alex running to her, his warm arms wide open. Dana had known Alex for only a few months before they started dating. Everyone saw how he "looked at her". She fell for him not for his looks but his strange hummor. Not to mention his warm smile and greener than green eyes. Jakob was a long old friend. He had always been there when she needed him he was like her brother. Big strong and stupid... always getting into trouble, pissing off the teachers skipping classes to go out for a smoke or two. "About time you got here D" It was Carter. Dana had known Carter for a while. He was as he put it ' a rock' no matter how hard you tried you couldnt get him to show rarly any emotion. Dana was the only one that was able to put a small smile on his face. And when she did she nearly melted, his perfect smile with a hint of 'im a smart ass and you know it' killed her. He had a very oval face with deep ocean blue eyes and shinnering blond hair that was somehow always perfect. "Did you hear me tomboy?" Carter moaned punching Dana's shoulder playfully. Dana had cleary lost focus, she shook her head "What?" Carter chuckled. His tone deep and strong. "You gotta learn to lissen tomboy" he said clearly with another annoying smerk. Dana, just about to respond had her breath taken away for a moment when Alex looped his arm around her waist. "Im glad to see you baby girl." No matter how much she hated that nick name it would probably never change. She brushed away the disscomfort and kissed Alex's cheek, craining her neck to the point were she felt a strange numb feeling work its way up. "owww" she winned slightly. Alex nuzzling his forehead forcefulling to her now sore neck. "Alex stop, that actually hurt..." Alex continued to nuddge clearly not taking any heed to her pain. She saw Carter stand his eyes showing his growing anger. Crap... Dana thought to herself. Carter reached them in 3 long strides. "Alex...she said it hurt. Your making it worse" Carter had his intimadating voice on. But of corse Alex iggnored Carter. Dana could see that Carter was growing furious. "Let her go Alex. Unless you wana LIMP your way home" when Carter said limp he made sure his tone changed. CRAP.... Dana's thoughts started to race. Carters gonna get in another fight...shit shit shit i gotta stop this!... "Hey babe, Carters right I'm sore. Please let me walk this off, its just a sore neck." Alex looked down, "Fine..." he grummbeled lifting his arm off Dana. Just as he did so she heard a small blip coming from his phone. Not thinking he pulled it from his poket. The name of the contact glowing.
MY BABY
His index fgure came up indicating that he needed a minute, pressing the Accept call botton. "Hey...I told you I cant talk right now....I'm....with her" She heard a girls voice on the other end. "Oh ok sorry, but really quick...do you think you can come by my place tonigh..." there was a short pause Dana looked at Alex's, his zoned ok smile sickening her. "I'm all alone and its a big cold bed room" AT THAT POINT DANA NEARLY THREW UP! Carter looked at Dana. He had heard it to... Carter gave Dana a look of pure sorrow, until he turned to Alex and glared. The invisible hatered burning holes into Alex's turned back. Alex hung up the phone. Turning back to Dana, Alex and Jakob (who really hadnt seen or heard anything and was eating away at a random apple.) Dana had small tears foarming in the corners of her eyes... as Alex looked behind him at Carter whos fist was already in line with Alex's cheek. Carter made contact with Alex. Sending Alex backward landing on his back. Dana wouldnt let this happen. She walked over to Carter and slapped him. Carter obviously supprised left Alex. "HE DESERVES IT!!!" Dana was fully crying now. "I know but I wont let you do that." Alex stood up wobbly. Wrapping his arms around her. "GET THE FUCK OFF ME!" she screamed. Alex arms letting go. Dana spun around a fist clenched and ready. Her boney nuckels clubing his temble. Making him fall back once more. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!!" She sceamed down at him as she began to run. Her home was only a 5 min run. Carter running after her, Jakob being the fair guy he was, Staying back to help Alex up. Dana was done. She would hide in her safe spot and dissaper from the world for good!
