Season 2 Chapter 17: Confessions
-The Next Day (Dolly's Room)-
"Come on, Come on, Aaron pick up.", Dolly worriedly muttered to herself as she repeatedly attempted to call Aaron. His number went straight to voicemail with every attempt causing her to throw her head back in annoyance.
Everything went bad, and so fast. She should've listened to Dylan. Dolly had so many regrets and way more things she wished she should've done.
The room's door creaked halfway opened in Delilah peeked in through the crack checking in on her daughter. "Is everything alright in here dear?", Delilah asked with concern in her voice.
"I don't know.", Dolly sighed.
That response told Delilah everything she needed to know. She fully entered the room and closed the door behind her, giving them both some privacy. Dolly shifted her body on the bed and got into a sitting position next to her mother.
"So, What's the matter?"
"It's Aaron, Mom.", Dolly frowned. "Yesterday night during the party I was finally planning on telling Spike that I'm not interested in him anymore, but then he kissed me."
Delilah nodded in understandment, "And you're afraid of what Aaron may think if he finds out?"
"That's the problem.", Dolly groaned in embarassment covering her face. "Aaron saw everything and ran away. Spike won't even talk to me right now. I screwed up everything, This is all my fault."
Delilah sympathetically hugged her daughter trying to console her in the best way can. "No dear it's not. It was nothing more than a misunderstanding. All you have to do is explain to Aaron what really happened to clear the air.", Delilah stated. "But first you should talk to Spike. It's best to explain things to him aswell. It would the right thing to do."
Dolly sadly nodded, but did not take her mother's words for granted. Dolly had to make this right and fast. She knew just exactly where to find Spike.
-Back to Aaron (Forest)-
I had been out here deep in the forest since last night trying to relieve myself of any remaining anger that still lingered in my body. This meditating stuff was doing it for me. Everytime I tried to think of nothing at all, I always ended up picture those two liplocking behind my back. Pacing around back and forth proved to be a useless method as well.
It infuriates me so much! I'm even thinking about it right now. It was then at that moment my blood began to boil. My body was on fire and I could feel my aura flare up. I then caught sight of a boulder a few feet away from me.
A bold idea formed in my brain. Frowning, I stood up clenching both my fists. I walked towards the bother, steam radiating off my form. Once infront of the colossal rock, I readied myself to do something risky and potientially dangerous for my body.
Without anymore delaying I finally indulged into my overwhelming anger. I thrust my right fist into the massive rock with full force. Upon impact with my fist, The boulder slighty scratched the ground beneath it while shifting outta place.
Letting out an animalistic growl, I then proceeded to ferociously pound the boulder with my left and then my right and then left again. I repeated this pattern until my knuckles were sore and bloody. One final punch into the center of the large rock shattered it into small bits.
I collapsed to my knees panting. A blistering heat swept over my exhausted body as I faced the boulder that I had smashed into a million pieces.
"Aaron..."
The sound of footsteps rushed to my side. I found Da Vinci by my side with visible concern on her face. "Your Hands!", She gasped carefully examining my bloody palms. "Hold still."
Reaching into her pocket she pulled out two clear white bandana's. I guess she carries out spares. Da Vinci then wraps up my wounds with the bandanas. "Thanks Da Vinci.", I smiled earning a small blush out of her. "You saw everything, Didn't you?"
She slowly nodded and asked, "Why are you out here in the forest? Is everything ok?"
I went quiet and turned my gaze away from her. "Last night during the party...I caught Dolly with Spike, but they weren't just hanging out like I originally thought before.", I stopped and took a deep breath. "I caught them kissing. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Why would she do this to me? I don't wanna believe Dolly actually kissed him, but she did."
I could tell there was something Da Vinci wanted to say, but couldn't for some reason unknown to me. "There's something you wanna say?", I asked.
She anxiously fiddled with her fingers and looked up at me, "Um...there's something I've been wanting to tell you for a long time. I'm...I'm..."
"You're what?"
"-I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU AARON!!!"
-Back with Dolly-
For Dolly's sake, it didn't take long to find Spike. Of course he'd be in their favorite spot to relax. Dolly found him lifelessly watching the sun, his back turned to her. Remembering her Mom's words, she set all her fears aside came by Spike's side and sat down.
He was obviously aware of her presence, but no words escaped his lips to make it clear that he awknowledged her. "Uh...Hey Spike.", She nervously greeted.
"Hey.", He muttered not looking at her.
"Listen, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I should have told you about Aaron sooner.", She apologized. "I was just afraid of how you'd react. I didn't wanna hurt your feelings...or for you to hate me."
Spike then finally decided to look in her direction, his eyebrows furrowed. "Dolly I could never hate you. Of course I would've been upset at first, but I understand that you've moved on from me.", Spike stated. "And because of what I did last night, I've messed up your relationship with Aaron. It's all my fault..."
It seems Dolly wasn't the only one that felt responsible for what transpired. "No Spike, it's my fault. I was given plenty of chances to tell you I'm in a relationship, but I was careless and didn't take it that seriously when I should've and now he probably hates my guts.", Dolly ranted now on the verge of tears. "Could you ever forgive me?"
A look of understanding and consolement overtook Spike's face and he wiped away Dolly's tears. "Of course Dolly.", He nodded embracing her. After a minute passes they brake away from the hug. "I'll help you find Aaron and we can explain to him what happened together alright?"
Dolly sniffed and nodded. Now all she had to do is find Aaron and think of a proper resolve. "I hope he isn't too upset with me.", She thought.
