chapter 14:
The silence pierced through the crowd like a speeding bullet. Mouths agape, Marissa and
Damian stood dumbfounded, not knowing what to think. Mrs. Shuester began an awkward
clapping, which everyone joined in eventually. Mr. Schuester cleared his throat and continued
on.
"Okay, now it's time for the king and queen sweetheart dance"
A crown and tiara were placed on their heads, and they made their way down to the center of
the dance floor. Lindsay gave Samuel a weak smile, and grasped his hand.
"And singing our king and queen is Ms. Mckinleigh Abraham"
The choir girls exploded into applause, and Miki Hastily made her way up the stage.
The music began to play, and Samuel placed his hand on Lindsay's hip, and began to twirl
around the floor to Miki's rendition of "I Could Have Danced All Night" From My Fair Lady.
By this time, Damian had finally excepted what happened, and he went over to talk to
Cameron
As soon as he arrived, Cameron gave him a pat on the back, and tried to comfort him
"Hey buddy, tough luck, It sucks to watch your girlfriend dance with another guy"
Damian gave him a spiteful look, and returned back to his seat by the punch bowl. As the
song tempo increased, they became more into their dancing. Samuel would occasionally lift Lindsay into the air, and spin her around. Their eyes never left each others, and their smiles
grew wider as the night went on.
"He never looks at me like that." Marissa whispered, her eyes turned down low.
The beginning of the song had a harmful feeling, but at the end something was going through
their heads and no one could stop it. Before Samuel knew it, he was leaning down and
pressing his lips against Lindsay's. Lindsay reacted immediately, and ran her fingers through
Samuel's hair. Damian looked right away, and fled off into the darkness. Marissa on the other
hand, put her face in her hands, and wiped away soft tears. She was quickly surrounded by a
swarm of girls from all over, tending to her like a sick child. About a minute later, Lindsay and
Samuel surfaced from their kiss, and both let out and non audible scream.
"Oh god, what have I done" Lindsay shouted. She tore away through the crowd shouting.
"Where's Damian?, oh my god"
Samuel took one look at Marissa, and walked out to the parking lot, and got in the car.
The prom was officially cut short. The rest of the kids quietly began to leave, and Mr. Schue
thanked them all for being here. Slowly, Mr. Schuester made his way over to Lindsay who was
sitting on a bench near the stage.
"Hey Lindsay, what is going on here?" He questioned, seeming very concerned
I"... I kissed Samuel, and I'm supposed to be dating Damian'' She gave out a weak
whimper,
and took off her heels.
"Why did you kiss Samuel then?"
"I really don't know, I love him like a brother but he was just there, and we were dancing" She
rambled on but her voice quickly became so soft he couldn't hear.
"Alright, Will someone please go look for Damian?" He sighed, exasperated.
"I'll go Mr. Schue" called Hannah. He nodded, and she hurried off into the park.
Samuel put his head on the wheel, and let the horn blast at innocent passer-by's.
"I love Lindsay like a sister, but What about Marissa? I'm really confused."
The thoughts were running through his mind like a busy intersection.
"Am I actually in love with Lindsay?"
This could be a possibility. The worst case scenario possible; but I think I am.
He pulled out his phone and realized he had 4 texts.
Matheus Fernandez
Hannah Mclalwain
Lindsay Pearce
Mom
He read each, one at a time. Hannah and Matheus told him how rude, and stupid that was of
him to kiss her, and his mom told him to be home by 2:00. He took an extra minute to think
about Lindsay, but he didn't open the text. He just decided to go home, and attempt to punch
himself in the face for being an idiot.
"Damo, where are ye laddie?" Hannah tried in an Irish accent, but the only reply she got was
the rushing water of the West Front Fountains. She stumbled around the grassy open space
shouting for Damian, but he never answered. While passing the large oak tree for a seventh
time, she spotted a pair of bright green sneakers.
"Damian, I can see your shoes from a mile away, come down." She said sternly.
"No. If you want to talk, you have to come up" He said so silently, it was heartbreaking.
"Oh great, just what i needed. a tree climbing lesson in heels and a dress" She groped
around, pulling herself up branch by branch till she reached a nest like hideaway, confining
Damian. Damian let out a weak laugh.
" I would have come down with a little more coaxing, but that was great."
She smiled and looked at him. He looked nothing like the Damian she knew, not cheery and
cute and green. This Damian had a tear streaked face, a dirty tuxedo, and messed up hair.
"Damo, you can't stay up here all night you know" Hannah said, giving him a hug.
"I'd rather stay up here, than ever look at Lindsay again, I'll break into tears, and look like a
loser" He started crying again, and rubbing them away, dirtying his face with sap and dirt.
"Oh you poor thing, I'll take you home buddy, we'll stop at my favorite place" He grasped her
hand, and she led him down to the ground.
"Hey Hannah, can Marissa come too?" He said, uncertainly.
"Of course she can, we'll get her. It's sweet dreams cafe, right by my house"
she smiled, and they made their way back to the dance floor, averting all eyes. Damian tried
to nonchalantly stand behind a tree, and hide his tears; but Hannah had pulled him along.
"Oh Damian thank Heaven's we found you" Mrs. Schuester called.
"We notified your Aunt, and she knows your safe now."
he nodded and followed Hannah, avoiding Lindsay. Lindsay got up and made hey way to him,
but Emily promptly grabbed her arm, shut her mouth, and sat her back down.
"Marissa, would you like to join me and Damian at sweet dreams cafe?" Hannah said,
reaching out her hand. Marissa looked up and saw Damian looked even more unstable than
her. She grasped Hannah's out stretched hand, and smiled.
"That would be lovely, Thank you" and off they went. The rest of the gang split up, and no one
had any idea what would happened on Monday at school. Hannah remembered she didn't
have a car, so they decided to walk, arm in arm to Hannah's cafe on the corner. As they came
to the curb, they spotted a small, cottage-like house, with purple curtains draped over the
windows, and a dream catcher hanging from the sign.
"This is grand Hannah" Damian whispered.
They opened up the door, and Hannah instructed them to find a seat.
"Hey Maureen, I got a couple of lonely hearts here" Hannah said, motioning over to Marissa
and Damian. Maureen gave her an understanding look, and smiled.
"No charge for tonight then, you kids take the window corner, and I'll bring you hot chocolate
and cookies, on the house" Maureen headed back to the small kitchen, fixed her purple
apron, and set to work.
"Thanks Maureen, love you" Hannah yelled.
Hannah directed them to a cozy corner, with a window seat, a bean bag covered floor with a
small table in the center; and a fireplace.
"Be right back guys, I'll get blankets.' Hannah said, excusing herself from the two. She went
over to the blanket basket, and grabbed three knit blankets. When she returned, the other two
had already grabbed their hot chocolates, and were sipping happily.
"Hannah, i can't tell you how nice this is, I don't know what I would have done without you"
said Marissa, truthfully.
"I probably would have listened to love songs, cried, and threw things." Damian said, taking a
bite of the cookie.
"It's the least I could do for you guys, I mean what person wouldn't do this for friends?" She
pondered.
"The people we thought were are friends." Marissa sneered.
"This will work itself out guys, for now just enjoy right now" Hannah said knowingly.
They nodded, and later thanked Maureen for being so kind. When they arrived at Hannah's
house, they each called their families, and waited to be picked up on Hannah's porch.
"Remember, If you need me, call me at anytime, no matter what I'm always here."
They hugged her tightly and told her she was the best friend ever. Hannah seemed content
after they left, she was good at fixing problems with friends. But sometimes...
"Sometimes I wish someone would care about mine for once." She knew she was the balance
between her friends, so she pushed her smaller problems aside and went to sleep.
