The Truth
I woke up and sighed, "Time to go home." I whispered to myself. I gathered up my things and left the guest room, I walked into the livingroom and Julia ran up to me.
"Hey Chelsea!" She squealed, then she saw my things. "Leaving already?" She asked sadly, I nodded. "Okay, but come back here later tonight." She demanded,
"Why?" I asked confused. She smiled,
"Just come here." She told me and pushed my out the door. I got home a few minutes later, Mark was watering my crops. "Hey, Mark!" I yelled, he looked up surprised. When he saw it was me he smiled,
"Hey, Chels!" He greeted and ran up to me. He told me about how he was thinking about asking Sabrina out on a date, I smiled at him.
"You should ask her! She likes you alot!" I encouraged him, he blushed slightly.
"S-She does?" He whispered, and then smiled hugely. "I'm gonna ask her right now!" He cheered and ran off. I chuckled and put my things away in my house, I changed out of my old clothes and into a pair of jean shorts, and a yellow tanktop. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail, and brushed my teeth. I ran outside and looked at the sky, the sun was starting to set. I frowned and headed towards Julia's house, when I got there the place was silent. I walked inside, I looked around the room.
"Anybody home?" I yelled, there was a long silence. I walked down the hallway and frowned in confusion, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around startled, it was only Vaughn. I sighed in relief, "You scared me." I told him quietly. He looked at me in confusion,
"What are you doing here?" He asked. I sighed in irritation,
"Julia told me to come here, what about you?" I asked. He had a strange look on his face,
"Same." He admited. She didn't! She left me alone in the house with Vaughn again!
"Why is Julia doing this?" I thought, did I just say that out loud?
"I don't know." Vaughn grunted, I looked up at him. His violet eyes met my blue ones, he had that look on his face. The one he had last time we were alone together,
"Chelsea!" We heard Julia yell. I ran into the livingroom, Julia was taking off her coat. "Sorry for not being here, I just finished my date with Elliot." She confessed, I nodded in understanding. I turned my head slightly, and saw Vaughn standing in the doorway. He was looking at the ground, he looked like he was annoyed. Whats his problem. I looked at Julia,
"I think I should go talk to Mark." I told them. Vaughn frowned,
"Okay, Chels. See you later." Julia said and I left. I found Mark at the beach, he was looking at the sea dreamly. I walked up to him,
"How did it go?" I asked him. He turned and looked at me, he had a giant grin on his face.
"She said yes!" He exclaimed, I smiled at him.
"Oh my goddess, Mark! I'm so happy for you!" I exclaimed and hugged him, after I pulled away I saw something out of the cornor of my eye. I turned and saw Vaughn walking away, was he just here? I turned back to Mark, "When is your date?" I asked. He smiled proudly,
"Tomorrow night, at six!" He told me grinning. I smiled at him and hugged him again,
"I'm so happy for you!" I told him and sighed looking at the sky. "I should go home." I told him, he nodded. I waved goodbye and ran home, I changed into my purple pjs and went to sleep.
A week later
I woke up and did my daily routine, I changed into a pair of my jeans and a purple
tye-dye shirt. I braided my hair and went out to water my crops, after I finished it was about four. I walked over to Julia's house, Julia was watching tv. She looked up at me and smiled,
"Hey, Chels." She said. I nodded at her and looked around the room,
"Do you know where Vaughn is?" I asked her. She nodded,
"Yeah, he's in the barn." She told me. I outside and to the barn, Vaughn was taking care of a cow.
"Hi Vaughn..." I said quietly, not wanting to startle him. He didn't respond, I walked a little closer to him. "Vaughn...?" I said quietly, he still didn't respond. I walked even closer to him, and touched his shoulder. "Are you alright?" I asked quietly, his shoulders stiffened at my touch. He shook off my hand and turned around to face me, he looked at me like he had when we first met.
"What do you want?" He growled, his voice full of hatred. I looked at him in shock,
"I just wanted to know if you were okay! You haven't talked to me since last week!" I told him. He glared at me, and I glared back him. Why is he acting like this?
"Maybe I don't want to talk to a retarded farm girl!" He growled, I felt my anger boil over.
"Why are you acting like this!? What did I do?!" I yelled at him.
"Because, I don't want you near me! You are so irritating! You never leave me alone! Just go away and never come back!" He yelled at me, I took a step back. I felt a tear slide down my cheek, is that the way he thinks of me? A pest?
"Fine! If thats what you want! I'll never talk to you again!" I yelled, and my voice cracked on the last sentance. I ran out of the barn crying, I ran all the way home and didn't look back.
The next day
I woke up and did my daily routine, I put on a white tank top and a pair of jean shorts. I left my hair down, and walked out of the house. I watered my crops and went to the beach, I sat at my usual spot and pulled my knees up to my chest. I laid my head down on my knees and cried, How could he be so cruel? What did I do?
"Chelsea?" Someone asked, I looked up to see Denny. He sat next to me,
"What are you doing here?" I asked him. He frowned when he saw that I was crying,
"I hadn't see you yet today. I thought I could find you here, whats wrong?" He asked worried. I bit my lip trying not to cry again,
"Me and Vaughn had a fight yesterday." I told her. He frowned,
"What was the fight about?" He asked confused.
"I don't know...he hadn't talked to me for like a week and I was worried about him. And he started yelling at me." I explained and a tear rolled down my cheek, Denny looked at me surprised.
"D-Do you like him?" He asked quietly, I glared at him in irritaion.
"No Denny, I'm crying cuz I don't like him!" I said sarcasticly, "Yes I like him." I admited. Denny smiled,
"Why does it matter...he obviously hates me." I whispered. Denny suddenly stood up, I looked up at him.
"Come with me." He demanded and grabbed my wrist, he pulled me into town. I noticed that we were heading towards Julia's house, I stopped dead in my tracks.
"I'm not going in there." I stated and glared at Denny, he sighed and turned around to face me. "And you can't make meEEEEE!" I squealed as he picked me up, he threw me over his shoulder. My stomach hit his hard shoulder, I groaned in irritation. I started hitting his back, "Let me go!" I demanded. He set me on my feet and turned me around, and Vaughn was glaring down at me. I tried to take a step back, but Denny was right behind me.
"Why is she here?" Vaughn demanded glaring at Denny,
"She needs to tell you something." Denny said simpily. My eyes widened, does he want me to tell Vaughn how I feel?! I stayed quiet, Denny pushed me closer to Vaughn. "Tell him." Denny demanded, I glared back at him.
"No!" I growled, Denny smirked.
"Tell him or I will!" He stated, I looked at him in shock.
"W-What?" I asked mortified, "No you can't... I won't..."
"Chelsea likes you Vaughn." Denny said simpily. My eyes widened, I stared at the floor defeated. Guess he knows the truth...
"She...what...?" Vaughn asked in shock, Denny backed away.
"I'll let you two talk alone." Denny said and left the house,
"You like me?" Vaughn asked still in shock. I nodded, he took a step towards me. I took a couple steps back, this went on until I was back up agaist the wall. I looked up at him,
is he gonna hit me? Is he gonna yell at me again? All I could do was watch helplessly as he inched closer, his face was inches from mine.
"Vaughn..." I said quietly, he was so close. I could feel his cold breath on my face,
"So a mermaid can like a human?" He breathed in my ear. I could feel my face heat up, I swallowed the lump in my throat.
"Y-Yeah..." I managed to whisper, I felt his breath vibrate as he laughed silently. Then he pulled back and smirked,
"How long have you had feelings for me?" He asked curiously. I was still having trouble breathing correctly, but I did look him straight in the eye.
"I-I don't know..." I admited embarrassed, then the door suddenly flew open. And Julia ran in, she had a huge smile on her face. She saw me and Vaughn and ran up to us,
"Hey guys! Did you know that there is a festival tonight?!" She squealed. I tilted my head at her confused,
"There is?" I asked her confused. She nodded and her smile grew, "What kind of festival?" I asked her curiously.
"Its kind of like a dance! You know like they have at schools!" She squealed and started jumping up and down, I smiled at the thought of me and Vaughn slow dancing under the moonlight. I shook away the thought blushing,
"Where is it at?" I asked her.
"On the beach!" She exclaimed and looked at the clock, then gripped my wrist tight. She started pulling me towards the hallway,
"W-What are you doing?" I asked her.
"I'm gonna help you get ready!" She stated and pulled me into her room, she poked her head out of the door. "You get ready too, Vaughn." She said and closed the door, she turned to me and smirked. I looked at her worried, "Makeover time!" She squealed.
Hours Later...
I looked at me reflection in the mirror in awe, my hair down. I had eyeliner and mascara on, I also had some lip gloss on. Instead of my usual t-shirt of tank top I was in a light blue strapless dress, it ended right above my ankles. I had black heels on, which if I might add are incredibly hard to walk in. I twirled around and smiled at Julia, she had done her outfit as well. Her hair was up in a bun and she had mascara and eyeliner on as well, but instead of lip gloss she had ruby red lipstick on. She was in a black cocktail dress, she looked so pretty.
"Lets go!" She squealed and we headed towards the beach, I walked slower than Julia nervious. She turned around and looked at me, "Whats wrong?" She asked worried.
"I...uh...nothing..." I lied and followed her to the beach, when we got there it was very crowded. There was benchs everywhere, I saw that there was a bench at my usual spot. I walked over to it and sat down, I looked over at all my friends dancing with their boyfriends. I stared at the sea, feeling more alone than ever.
"What are you doing here?" I heard a gruff voice ask, I looked over to see that Vaughn was sitting next to me. Huh, he looks good in a tux. I smiled at him and looked up at the sky,
"I always sit here when I come to the beach." I said and looked over at him. He shook his head and chuckled,
"I ment why aren't you dancing with the others." He explained. I blushed at my stupidity,
"Can't you tell, this was a couple thing." I stated and stared at the sky. I heard him say 'oh' as if he was in shock, "What?" I asked. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion,
"Aren't you dating Mark?" He asked. I looked at him in shock,
"Your kidding right?" I said raising my eyebrows. He was silent, I sighed and shook my head. "Me and Mark are friends, nothing more. Plus he's dating Sabrina." I explained, I looked at him confused. "What made you think I was dating Mark?" I asked him curiously, I saw his cheeks turn slightly pink.
"I saw you guys hugging." He grunted and pulled his hat over his eyes, I hate it when he does that... I was about to pull off his hat, but his hand caught my wrist. I gasped, he stood up and made me stand up with him. He pulled me behind the rock, I looked up at him in shock.
"W-What are you doing?" I asked worried, he chuckled and smiled at me.
"Dancing with you." He said simply, he wrapped my arms around his neck. Then he placed his hands on my waist, I blushed and looked up at him. A slow song was playing, we swayed back and forth awkwardly for awhile. I laid my head down on his chest, and sighed. The song ended after a while, we pulled away shortly after.
"W-What brought that on?" I asked him blushing, he shrugged.
"You looked sad." He said and blushed slightly, he was about to pull his hat down. I stopped him,
"Why do you do that?" I asked him irritated. He looked at me confused,
"Do what?" He asked. I frowned and took his hat off his head, and placed it on mine. I blushed and pulled the hat over my eyes, I leaned against the rock. He took the hat off of my head and only then did I notice that he was right in front of me, he had his hands on the rock on either side of my head. I looked up into his eyes, he had that look in them. He leaned closer like he had earlier today, but this time he wasn't looking into my eyes. He was looking at my lips, he started to lean in slowly. He looked into my eyes, and filled the space between us.
