I swear, every time I write an outline to end this fic the darn storyline just keeps going. I really wanted to end this thing under 10 chapters, that's definitely not going to happen now. Okay. Enough ranting. To all who missed her, this will be the glorious return of Dana. As always, most of these wonderful characters are owned by DC comics.
"Matt didn't want to come home," I'm still confused about why my little brother didn't want to come home with me. I mean, I was gone for two weeks, I thought he would be happy to spend time with me again.
"Ouch, he must be really pissed. What did Dana say?" I can hear Max typing something as she answers me, I doubt she's listening.
"Yea, I didn't call her yet," I admit to forgetting to smooth things over with Dana.
"Wait. You what?" I hear the typing stop.
"Well, I called mom when I got in, and then I went to get Matt. I was a little disturbed, you know," and I want to avoid being yelled at the moment.
"Terry, my bag of lies isn't going to save you if you don't call Dana. I mean, its running pretty empty, now. All I have left is the 'Terry's runaway to become a Tibetan monk' lie and no one's going to believe that."
"I know I have to call her. I just can't handle anymore – why can't I be a monk?"
"I didn't say you can't be. I just said it was unbelievable. And I'm sure Dana will be happy to hear from you, she'll yell at you two, three hours tops,"
"Not the comforting words I was hoping for,"
"Terry, you are the guy girls dream about, a bad boy with a great body who sensitive and caring. Any girl would be lucky to have you, and Dana realizes that. She only yells at you, out of fear that some other girl has noticed and is trying to steal you away."
That was unexpected, "hmm, so-"
"hahaha, sorry, sorry, I couldn't hold it anymore," Max continues to giggle.
"Thanks Max, glad you're here to cheer me up."
"You'll do fine; you and Dana always work things out. Call her; I want to finish up these new suit schematics before I go to bed."
"Hey it is kind of late, Dana's probably already in bed," I lie to try to postpone the call.
"Graduation is next week, I doubt she's sleeping," Max's final words on the subject.
"If I were your boyfriend, I would never not call you. A sexy girl like you should never have to worry about what her man is doing. Terry is probably up in Metropolis right now having sex with some snobby girl he met at one of those business dinners Wayne had to go to. He's not thinking about you are all, and he doesn't deserve you. The least you could do is treat yourself to a nice dinner with a real man," the voice finally finished his speech.
Ronald Marz, not so subtle, star linebacker for the high school football team has had a crush on Dana Tan for almost three years. And if Dana wasn't involved with Terry for those three years, she may have taken him up on his offer. Over the last few weeks, with Terry's absence, Dana found herself thinking a lot about what a relationship with Ronald would be like. And Ronald's offer was sounding better and better as each hour passed without any sign of Terry. Still, Dana was not ready to break up with Terry and even though he disappeared off the face of the Earth for a couple of weeks, she didn't believe he had broken up with or was cheating on her.
"Ron, you're a nice guy, but I'm with Terry-"
"Dana, Terry's not with you," He hangs up the phone.
Dana is a little taken aback by the comment. Of course Terry was with her. How dare he say something like that? He doesn't know Terry, how sweet he is. How much she missed him.
The phone rings, probably Ronald.
She answers in anger, "Who do you think you are?"
"Dana I'm sorry, I know I should have called you, but Wayne had me running around everywhere and I forgot my phone," Terry had planned his explanation out much more smoothly, but he hadn't expected Dana to react in this way. Ok, maybe he expected it a little, but he was hoping it didn't happen.
"Terry?" Dana responses in shock, she was anger at Terry, but she didn't want to yell at him like that.
"Yea, Dana, I'm sorry about-"
"Terry, I missed you. I don't feel like arguing. Can I come over?" Dana wasn't quite sure what she was doing, but she knew she missed being with Terry. The last two weeks were long and all she wanted was to be with him again.
"Um, sure. I'll come get you."
