AN: Hey, this is defan777. To everyone, I would like to apologize about the long hiatus I took and the reclusiveness that I took. I needed some time to get myself in line with my life and I didn't have much time to really type anything. I really am sorry to everyone, and I hope that you all can forgive me. But I just want to say that I'm back (my life is in order again), and I'm back to start writing again. So here is the next chapter of No Fear, I hope that you all enjoy.

Chapter 15: An Unpleasant Argument

November 17th. 2013

3:30 A.M.

My Home

I awoke with a start. I could hear the buzzing coming from my phone. I wondered who could be wanting to talk to me at this time. I grabbed it to look that it was Joe calling me.

"Hello?" I said to him.

"Hey, Dawn, I'm sorry that I woke you up, do you mind if I come over? Just to have a talk?" he asked.

"Yes, that will be fine. I'll start getting ready." I hung up, and my mind began to race. What could Joe want to speak about? I then started to think if someone had told him I was moving and we were going to have to talk about that. I sighed and started to get dressed.

Around 4, Joe had texted me that he was outside. I quietly ran down the stairs as to not wake up my mother.

"Joe, may I ask to why you want to speak with me at such an early time?"

"Well, I feel like that we haven't gotten to talk much together lately, because I'm always working, and you're going around helping people. I just thought that maybe we could take a walk or something?"

"I don't mind." I put on my shoes and slowly closed the door behind me. He grabbed my hand and we started to walk.

"Joe, is there anything that you would like to discuss?"

"Well, actually there are a few things I would like to talk about."

"Such as what?"

"Well, I just want to know what's been going on with you, like I said, I haven't been around lately because of work and all, and I just wanted to see if you were doing alright." said Joe with a smile. I began to think about what he said, and something came to mind. If I said that I wasn't doing fine, he'd suspect something, but I couldn't just lie to him.

"Joe, I'm just going to say this, I've been a bit of both as of late." He stopped right there as I said this.

"What exactly is going on? I mean I hope you're doing fine now, did something happen?" I sighed a little when he said that. Part of me felt that I should tell him what was going on, but another part of me wasn't ready to tell.

"Joe, let's sit down somewhere, I…I need to tell you something that's been going on with me." I grabbed his hand and lead him back to my front porch. I could tell from the look in his eyes that he was concerned about what I had to tell him. We got back to my front porch and sat down on the steps of the house.

"Dawn…I hope this isn't the talk that I think we're going to have." He said to me.

"Oh, you think that this was…oh no, but after what I tell you, you might want to think about what we should do for this relationship." I said sadly to him. He grabbed my hands and looked me in the eyes.

"Joe…I'm moving." I told him. If I had thought that he was upset then, it compared nothing to what he did after I told him that. He got up, grabbed a rock from the ground, and threw it as far as he could. I just sat and watched him, feeling bad for not only myself, but also for him.

"Joe…" I started to walk towards him as he stood in the driveway looking at the ground. I grabbed him by the shoulder and I couldn't help but feel bad about what I had told him. The first thing he asked me was,

"When did you find out about this?"

"I found out on the 1st, right after Halloween." He clenched his hand in a fist, and I started to step back.

"You knew about this? And you didn't tell me until just now? After almost 3 weeks?" I could sense from his aura that he was angry with me, so I started to walk back to my house. I could almost feel the tears coming down from my eyes after he said this.

"Joe…I wanted to tell you, I just…I didn't know when would be the right time to tell you. Joe, you have to believe me when I say this, this was a rather difficult decision to make." Joe then turned around as I said this and got up close to me.

"So, were you just planning to never tell me about this and leave me without telling me or what?"

"I would never do that, you know I wouldn't. I didn't tell you because I wasn't ready. Only Zoey and Mike know about this and…"

"Wait, so let me get this straight, so you didn't bother to tell your own boyfriend about this move, but you decide to tell Zoey and Mike? I feel like you don't trust me, is that it?" I could feel myself getting both angry and saddened by what Joe was saying to me. I thought he loved me…at least enough to understand how difficult of a decision this was for me to make.

"Joe…I'm going to have to ask for you to leave. I can see that you can't understand how much of a difficult decision this was for me to make. I thought you loved me enough to understand, but I see that you can't understand. Until you do, I would like for you to give me some peace and space until you realize this." I said to him very sternly. He gave me a very angry look, grabbed his car keys out of his pocket, opened his car door, and drove away. As soon as his car was out of the distance, I began to tear up.

As I slowly opened the door to try and not wake my mother up,

"Dawn…I saw what happened out the window." my mother said on top of the staircase as I was entering the house. She began to walk up to me, and embraced me in a hug as I stood there.

"I'm so sorry, are you alright Dawn?"

"Yes mother, I'll be fine, I just…I want to be alone for a while." I said as I started to make my way upstairs to my room. As I was about to reach my room, I could see from the look in my mother's eyes that she was concerned for me.

"I just need to lie down, and forget about everything that's happened just now." I got into bed and fell asleep shortly after that.

7:20 A.M.

As I began to wake, I could see people in my room. I began to wonder if I was dreaming or not, and as I fully opened my eyes, I could see that there were several people in my room.

"Hey Dawn." said Mike. It was Mike, Zoey, Cameron, B, and Ella were all in my room.

"May I ask, how is it that you were able to get into my room?" I asked them.

"Oh, why your mother let us in, because she was the one that wanted us to come over. She told us about how you were feeling, and we came here as soon as we could to try and make you feel better!" said Ella.

"Well, your presence here is very much appreciated, but I would like to be alone for a while." Zoey then began to walk over and grabbed my hand.

"Dawn, you're obviously not alright, and we all want to help you get better. What's going on…please tell us." said Zoey very sincerely.

"…Joe and I got into a fight." I said to her. Everyone gasped a little after I said this.

"What? You guys got into a fight? About what?" asked Cameron. I sighed a little after he said this. I knew that I'd have to tell the others about the news.

"Cameron…B…Ella…, there's something I need to tell you guys. I told Mike and Zoey first about this, and then I told Joe, which is why we got into a fight. I'm moving after the school year ends here." I said to them. Cameron was aghast at hearing this, B just scratched his head a little, and Ella began to tear up after hearing this. I heard a buzzing coming from my phone.

"Why didn't you tell us, Dawn? This is big news to just keep to yourself." said B's text.

"I didn't want to tell you guys, because I didn't want you guys to worry about me. I know that this is not something that is rather pleasant to talk about, and I must admit, when I first heard about this, I was rather angered by this as well. I'd rather not think about this, so that's why I didn't say anything at first. I only told Zoey and Mike because they had helped me earlier before, I'm dreadfully sorry…" I said sadly.

"Oh Dawn, really it's okay, we don't want to see you upset, you're already upset enough." said Cameron. Then everyone in the room surrounded me to give me a group hug.

"Thank you…I really needed this right now." I said to them.

"Oh, it was certainly no trouble at all!" said Ella. Cameron, B, and Ella all started to make their way downstairs. Only Zoey and Mike remained with me.

"Dawn, do you want us to talk to Joe about all of this?" asked Mike.

"No. He needs his time to think about all this, and I would rather be by myself, than have to deal with all this at the moment." I said to him.

"Are you sure about all this?" asked Zoey.

"Yes, I'm very sure about all this." I said to her.

"Well, how about the 6 of us go and do something?" asked Mike.

"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!" said Zoey. I nodded in approval of that and started to make my way down to everyone else.

(Joe's Point of View)

I was driving down the road to my house just muttering angry words about what had happened with Dawn and I.

"How could she do this to me? I mean, I'm her boyfriend for Christ's sake, I thought that she would tell me this kind of stuff." I parked right outside my house and stomped on the bed of the car. My mother came outside to see that I was not doing well.

"Joe, are you alright?" my mother asked.

"No, not really." I said as I opened my car door to get out. She started to walk over to me.

"Well, what exactly is going on?"

"Well, Dawn and I got into a fight."

"About?"

"Well,…she told me today that she was going to be moving. That's not what made me angry though, it was the fact that she told someone before she told me."

"Well, did she tell you why she told these people before she told you?"

"She said that she wasn't ready to tell me about this, but she goes ahead and tells Zoey and Mike way before she even considered telling me. It's just angering that she trusts them more than she trusts me." I slammed my fist into the hood of my car after I finished saying that. My mother then went to put her shoulder on my arm.

"Look, Dawn really cares about you, if she didn't, she wouldn't have told you about this. Now I have something that I want to tell you. I called her mother the other day, she asked us if we would be interested in going over to her house to celebrate Thanksgiving, and I told her that we would love to." I was shocked at what my mother had just told me.

"When did you make this decision!?"

"About a day or two ago, I had forgotten that I had even told her that, that's on me." I was speechless at what she just told me. First I get into a fight with Dawn, and now on Thanksgiving, I'm going over there.

"…Fine." I started to make my way to the door, until my mother said:

"Joe, you need to settle your difference with her."

"I will when I'm ready." I said angrily. I then slammed the door to my house and made my way to my room.

"This'll be interesting." I said to myself.

AN: I hope that you all enjoyed the first writing I've done in a few months. Like I said, I am sorry that I took such a long hiatus and became a recluse about it all. I'll try to earn all your guys trust again, and I hope that my writing will earn it back. Thank you all who were patient with me.
