Dancing In The Rain

Chapter Four

Anywhere But Here

No One POV

It was Sunday morning, two days until Thanksgiving. Dana and Michael were getting ready for church. Dana decided she and Michael would go there without Dana's parents, and just meet them there. Dana was angry with her father, and did not wish to speak to him. Dana was in heading toward the car, and Michael was beside her. He opened the driver's side for her and went over and got in the passengers side.

"You know, you don't have to be nice or act like you like my Dad, because I don't even like him." Dana said, quickly and quietly. "They don't like me, do they?" Michael asked her. "My mom likes any boy I like. But my dad just..." Dana paused and Michael filled in the blanks. "He just... doesn't like blacks, does he?" "It's not your fault." Dana said quietly, "He's just, just overprotective."

15 minutes later...

Dana pulled up in the church parking lot. Poor Michael. Dana "forgot" to tell him it was an all white church. There were whispers everywhere when they went in. "Is he black?" Michael and Dana heard one girl ask. "What is that boy doin' in here?" A grown man asked. "Is that boy lost do you think?" Someone's grandmother said loudly. Dana sat next to an old friend of hers, Carrie Dove. "Is that boy with you?" Carrie asked, rudely. Whispers about Michael surrounded Dana, and she was getting sick and tired of it. "Shut Up!" Dana yelled very loudly "Shut up shut up shut up!" Dana's father ran over to her to get her to quiet down, but before he caught her, she grabbed Michael's hand and they ran out of the church.

In The Car

"Where are we going?" Michael asked her. "Anywhere but here." Dana said. "So that means..." Michael asked her. "Zoey's house." Dana said. they pulled into the driveway. Hurry up and pack Michael. I will, too. You have 15 minutes. If you finish before me, get snacks and drinks because Zoey is 5 hours away." Dana said quickly. They ran and started packing.

Going to Zoey's house

"Why are we going to Zoey's?" Michael asked Dana. "To get away from here." Dana answered. Nothing was going to stop her from running away. They drove for five hours, and they were about to be at Zoey's. "Okay, I'll call her cell and tell her we're coming." Dana said. "She doesn't know we're coming?" Michael asked, surprised. "Shut up, it's ringing." Dana said, smiling.

Zoey: Hello?

Dana: Hey Zoe!

Zoey: Hey Dana. What's up?

Dana: Well, You know how you said we could come to your house if we wanted to?

Zoey: Yeah...

Dana: Well, we're about five minutes away from your house.

Zoey: Okay! Nicole's here, too. See you in five minutes.

Dana: Okay, bye.

Zoey: Bye.

"That was easy!" Dana said happily. "Yeah, it was." Michael said. After a few minutes, they were at Zoey's. But they weren't going to be at Zoey's for long. Dana's parents were behind there car, the whole entire time.

"Dana." Her father said, angrily.
