Chapter 3: Dina or Cece?
Cece's POV-
Pain. Pain. Pain. It seems to have complete control of my head right now. Ugh. Hoping to take my mind off it, even the slightest bit, I turn to Deuce. In the moment I look into his eyes, I know soon, I have to tell him how I feel. But... he is dating Dina...
"Duece?" I squeak out, still nearly breathless from the excruciating pain.
"Yea, Cece?"
"Do you think you can... can try to keep Gary from firing me? Dancing means the world to me." I say, nervously.
"I will do my one hundrend percent best Cece. My absolute best." He promised.
I wanted badly to hug him, or better yet... kiss him. But instead, I shakily take his hand, half expecting him to snatch it away. He doesn't, he simply holds my hand, tightly.
Dina's POV-
The moment I saw Cece/Deuce's hand holding, a spark of jealousy raged up my chest. Things start to fall into place. The entire phone call break-up from Deuce made sense now.
"Deuce you're... you're... you're being irrational!" I pleaded, choked up.
"No, Dina. It's the circle of life, okay? Look, I'm so sorry, but it's really over."
"No! What did I do? Whatever it was, I'm sorry, okay?" I say.
"It's not you Dina, it's all me. I gotta go, okay? I'll talk to you soon."
I know he tried to put it the nicest way possible, I know this. But, there's no easy way to realize this- Deuce is totally into Cece. And I still am in love with him. Well, I'm sure I will find some way to get him back.
Cece's POV-
My ankle was surely getting worse. And the only one keeping me from blowing up on someone, is Deuce.
"OWWW!" I yell. "It's alright, Cece. Help is on the way." Deuce says.
My mom, being the cop, arrived first. Mrs. Blue shortly thereafter. Mrs. Blue goes to help Rocky explain how to find us, and my mom comes down into the ditch to help Deuce keep me calm.
"Where's Flynn and Ty?" Mrs. Blue asked.
"With Tinka, on a walk. Flynn was crying his eyes out at the sight of his sister, so she took him on a walk with Ty, Gunther, and herself. Should be back any minute." Dina answered.
My mom's head pops up suddenly. "Wait, MY Flynn? Are you certain HE was the one crying?"
Dina nodded and then I said, "Suprised me too."
Suddenly, they all were walking up to us. Flynn still looked stressed, but he was a lot more calm.
"Hi Flynn. Come give mom a hug." Mom said.
He shook his head. "I want Cece."
My mom then shook her head. "Not right now, bud."
A few minutes later an ambulance FINALLY arrived. But when my ankle was grabbed to carry me, the pain became unbearable, and everything went black.
Deuce's POV-
We waited in the hospital for endless hours for poor Cece to awaken from her deep sleep.
Suddenly Dina texts me, "We need to talk. Meet me at the cafeteria and we can grab a bite to eat."
I then realized, I AM pretty hungry. Okay, sure, why not?
So, I wave to Cece's mom, then Rocky, then head to the cafeteria.
Dina and I get in line to get food and I whisper, "What's up?"
"Talk to ya at the table."
I nod, then look at the food choices. My mouth begins to water. Wow, I'm hungrier than I thought.
I grab food, then sat across from Dina.
"So...?" I say.
"So."
"So, you needed to talk to me?" I ask, trying to be patient. But, after the night I've had, I don't have much patience.
"I want you back, and Deuce-"
I cut her off, not in the mood for her drama. "Dina, I said we're over. End of story, got it?"
Her eyes start to fill with tears. "DEUCE!" She yells.
I stare back, unphased. "Yes?"
"STOP INTERUPPTING ME! FOR ONCE, JUST LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!" She started, causing people to stare.
She lowered her voice, but not her anger. "I KNOW exactly why you broke up with me! I'm not stupid like you! You're simply a player moving on to the next girl! Poor Cece! She's gonna fall in love with you, and you're gonna treat her real nice. FOR AWHILE! Then you're gonna dump her, like you did to me, and move on to whoever you think is better! Maybe Rocky or Shay from math period! You're nothing but a player! And I had NO intentions of screaming and getting mad at you like this, but it's all... because... of... you!" She said, then stormed off.
Well, that hurt. Bad.
Cece's POV-
I woke up in a plain room. I sit up then look around. "Where am I?" I ask myself.
A nurse suddenly appeared out of literally nowhere. "You're in a hospital room, hun. You broke your ankle in a bad fall earlier."
Everything then came back to me. "Oh right."
"Do you want visitors? There are plenty of people here to see you, if you don't mind?" She asked, politely.
"Sure, I don't mind." I said. I noticed my ankle felt... numb. Bleh.
She nodded, then left. A few minutes later, my mom appeared in the room. We talked shortly.
Then Rocky. She was worried about me and angry at Deuce. I told her it wasn't his fault I was a klutz. She just laughed.
Then came Mrs. Blue who checked up on me briefly, then left.
Then Ty, who joked around, and tried his best to lighten the mood.
Next Dina, who (maybe I'm crazy but) didn't appear like she much cared. She seemed to be in a bad mood.
I was starting to think Deuce had bailed, when he walked in the room. My face probably beamed as bright as I lightbulb.
"Hey Deuce!" I said, happily.
"Hiya Cece." He said, not very enthused.
I frowned. "You okay?"
"Not really. Dina's mad at me 'cause I broke up with her. She was screaming at me in the cafeteria." He blurted out. "Oh, I'm sorry. You're stressed enough. I shouldn't have tried to put my problems on you."
"No, no, Deuce. It's not a problem at all, honest. But... why'd you break up with Dina?"
He ran his hand through his hair, which I found adorable. "Ya see..."
"Hmmm?"
"I like... I like you, Cece."
My mind went wild. He likes me? Seriously? Yes! YES! YES! I screamed in my mind.
I blushed. "I like you too, Deuce. And I have for awhile." I confessed.
That's when he leaned down and did exactly what I'd dreamed he would for like, ever. He kissed me.
When he pulls away, I see Dina run off, crying. She'd been watching? Ughhh.
"Dina? Dina! Wait! Please! I'm sorry!" He called, running after her without a goodbye to me.
My lip trembled then. Sorry about what? That he'd kissed me?
