A/N: Happy 4th of July!
Amber symbolizes disoriented thoughts, concerned feelings, nervousness, and mixed emotions.
The basketball hit the side of the basket, but didn't go in.
Ash sighed, running his hand up his sweaty hair as he watched the ball fall to the floor.
It was currently 8 in the morning and usually he gets up this early to go and practice with Gary cause that was always their daily routine on the weekends.
"You alright man?"
Ash looked over at Gary, his mind elsewhere and not really focused on what he was doing at the moment.
"Yeah," he said, though it was most definitely a lie.
The truth was, he wasn't alright. He was still thinking about what had happened with Giselle. She tried to leave out of his life for good and he wasn't really comfortable with that. And the fact that she tried to have sex with him again and wouldn't even listen to what he had to say after he had stopped her, really frustrated him.
"Ash?"
Ash looked at Gary again, realizing that he had drifted off into his thoughts again. "What?" He said.
"What's up with you?" Gary asked, walking up to his friend. He was equally as sweaty as Ash was.
"Nothing," Ash shook his head and grabbed the ball from Gary's hands and brushed past him.
Gary turned around briefly to look at Ash and saw that he was now dribbling the ball in place, his attention on the basket.
Ash rose his arms up above his head and threw the ball into the air, aiming it at the basket. The both of them watched as the ball aimed toward the basket, but it had missed and hit the headboard instead.
Ash stared hard at the scene and heard Gary groan lowly from under his breath.
He watched as Gary went to go get the ball and saw that he came back up to him.
"Okay, what the hell is going on with you? You've been missing shots this whole time. You never miss shots." Gary told him, a hint of attitude in his voice.
"Nobody's perfect," Ash mumbled, a bit irritated that Gary was even getting mad at him.
Gary hardened his eyes on Ash. "I never said anyone was." He pointed out.
Ash let out a sigh and looked away from Gary.
"You know, I don't know if you realize this, but you've been changing a lot, especially with the team." Gary said with an attitude.
Ash slowly turned his attention back to Gary.
"I don't like it one bit." He spat. "Ever since that hoe came into your life, you've been acting like a brand new person—"
"She's not a hoe." Ash shot back, anger now forming inside of him.
Gary raised his eyebrow. "So you're gonna pick her over the team?"
Ash continued to look at him hard.
"Ever since she came into your life, you rarely have time for the team, Ash." Gary shouted. "That girl told you herself that she doesn't entertain romance so why do you keep fighting it?" Gary continued in a loud tone. "I know you, Ash. I've known you ever since I was a freaking kid and you really think that I'm going to let my best friend stress himself out over a girl that isn't even worth it? Come on now."
"You don't understand…" Ash mumbled, looking away from his face again.
"I don't understand?" Gary laughed at that comment. "Actually, you don't. You're so god damn naïve that you don't even realize that she's playing you."
"I know what she's doing." Ash argued. "And I don't care,"
"You should." Gary told him. "She's a hoe."
"No she's not." Ash spat, looking at Gary again.
"Yes she is, Ash. A hoe is when a woman has mindless sex with anything that has two legs and doesn't want any romantic commitment. That's a hoe." Gary pointed out.
Ash's left fist clenched tightly. Gary quickly noticed it and he raised his eyebrow at Ash. "What, so you're gonna hit me now Ash?"
Ash wanted to punch Gary so bad, but something told him not to do it, he just glared hard at Gary. He didn't appreciate the fact that he was even calling her a hoe. He knew that she acts just like one, but he just didn't like to hear the actual word itself, it really bothered him.
"That's what I thought," Gary scoffed, shaking his head. He lifted his hand and pointed his index finger at Ash's face. "You better figure out who you're riding for." Gary dropped his hand and slammed the basketball in Ash's chest so that he can take it instantly and walked off.
Ash watched as Gary left him there at the court and with no one else at the park.
He grabbed the ball tightly in his hand and threw it hard at the nearest fence in frustration.
The fact that Giselle was having a huge impact on his life really annoyed the hell out of him. He didn't understand why he cared for someone like her and he also didn't understand why he couldn't get her out of his head. It just didn't make any sense at all.
The last girl he cared a lot for was Misty, she was the only girl he really cared about. She was the complete opposite from Giselle. Yeah, Misty was always the kind of girl to beat his ass whenever she wanted to, but she was also one of the only girls that really, truly cared about him for him. Giselle was completely different. She didn't care at all for him, and yeah it bothered him because he really likes her. Misty isn't around anymore and he's forcing himself to move on just because she isn't around. Ash didn't understand his feelings, he wasn't sure if he looked at Giselle as a rebound or just another girl he really likes. He honestly knew nothing about her.
Ash watched as the ball fell to the floor, bouncing until it had stopped.
Ever since she came into his life, everything had changed and Gary was most definitely right.
"Oooooooooh, oooh."
Paul moved his head slightly, his eyes still closed.
"Oooooooh, oooh.."
Paul opened his eyes slightly.
"Oooooooh, oooooh."
He furrowed his eyebrows together as he turned his head, only to find that Dawn hadn't been in bed.
"Ooooooh, ooh…"
Paul looked at the window and saw that it was now morning.
"I would tell you that I love you tonight."
Dawn stood in the living room, dancing slowly with the music she had been playing.
"But I know that I've got time on my side."
She had been dancing all morning, practicing nonstop. Ever since those judges gave her poor feedback, she felt the need to work harder.
"Young man, if she were good enough, she wouldn't need a partner to help her. That shows a lot on her part." The man judge said.
"Where ya goin? Why ya leavin' so soon?"
That man was right. If she were good enough, she wouldn't need a partner. And because of that simple fact, she felt the need to give herself a push and try this on her.
Dawn could feel tears form in her eyes but she closed her eyes shut as she slowly dropped down to the floor and created a split.
"Is there somewhere else that's better for you?"
Paul walked into the living room and spotted Dawn dancing as if no one were watching her.
"What is love? If you're not here with me."
He watched her intensely as she danced slowly but also in a very smooth and relaxing way.
"What is love? If it's not guaranteed."
Just like how he taught her. All she had to do was dance like no one was watching her and she would do great.
"What is love? If it just ups and leaves?"
Paul cleared his throat and Dawn had instantly turned her attention to a shirtless Paul.
"Oh," she said in surprise, cutting off the music she was playing. She looked at him with an innocent look and pulled a strand of hair behind her ear. "I was um…"
"It's fine," he told her.
Dawn nodded simply as she awkwardly grabbed her phone and pulled it out of his G zip speaker. She had instantly remembered what had happened the night before with her and Paul and she wasn't so sure of how to act around him.
Of course she had a wonderful time with him last night, but she just wasn't so sure of how to react afterwards.
Dawn walked up to him and he had been staring at her which really made her nervous. Before Dawn can even walk past him, she mumbled, "You should really put a shirt on."
Paul raised his eyebrow as she brushed past him and left back to the room. He licked his lips and smirked.
"Where ya going?" He turned around briefly as he followed her to the room.
"Going to shower," she said loudly as she searched for a shirt in a drawer for some clothing she can wear herself.
"Can I join?"
Dawn whipped her head towards him.
Paul was leaning against the doorway with a smirk on his face.
A small blush instantly formed on her face. Her showering with Paul? That would be so hot, but she wasn't so sure if she was comfortable to do things like that with him yet. She instantly remembered last night and what they did. Oh how she loved that moment with him.
She quickly found herself some clothes and also found a shirt for Paul. She closed the drawer and walked up to him, throwing a shirt at his face as he instantly caught it in his hands. "Put it on," she ordered, beginning to brush past him.
Paul had his mouth open at that moment and he turned briefly to see that she had now left inside the bathroom and closed the door behind her.
He chuckled lightly. She was obviously nervous around him and he loved every bit of it.
Ash groaned when he saw the basketball hit just the corner of the basket and falling straight to the ground.
Giselle was driving him insane. He couldn't even do what he was great at just because of her, a girl he rarely understood. Ash had no idea why he cares so much about her, especially since he doesn't know her well. All he knew is that she avoids relationships and refuses to be involved in anything that seems romantic to her. That's something he didn't get. Every girl loves romance, how come she doesn't want romance? It just didn't make any sense.
Ash shook his head and grabbed the ball that was on the floor. He inhaled a deep breath and stared hard at the basket, trying to put his full attention on just the basket.
As he raised his arms high above his head and threw the basketball at the net, it decided to hit just the edge of it and dropped back down to the floor. Ash groaned again, becoming really frustrated. Is Giselle really that much of a distraction for him? In his mind, he believed that she could be.
"Ash," a female voice called.
Ash turned his head around toward the voice that was calling for him and saw that it had been Leaf. What was she doing here?
Leaf fixed her hat on her head and slowly walked over to him. "I need to show you something."
He raised his eyebrow as she brushed past him and grabbed his basketball from the floor. Ash watched as she walked back over to him. "Come on," she insisted as she brushed past him once more, expecting for him to follow along.
Ash ran a hand through his sweaty hair as he quickly grabbed his bottle of water and rag from one of the benches before following behind her.
"Where are you taking me?" He raised his eyebrow as the two walked on a sidewalk.
"I just need to show you something," she murmured, still walking ahead of him and beginning to walk across the street to another sidewalk.
Ash brought his rag up to his forehead as he wiped off the sweat that was forming. He decided to not question Leaf any further and just followed her to wherever it was that she wanted him to see.
He was starting to become a bit curious as they walked past a few blocks down from the park where the basketball court was. When they stopped in front of a unique bar a few moments later, he raised his eyebrow.
Ash looked over at Leaf who had been staring through the window and looking inside of the bar. "Why are we at a bar?" He asked, confused.
Leaf sighed as she turned to look at him, folding her arms beneath her chest. "Look inside."
Ash stared at her for a moment and took a step forward toward the window and took a brief look inside the bar. He was curious to know what exactly was it that Leaf wanted him to see.
He only saw a few people drinking at the tables, a couple guys playing pool, a few people dancing, and one or two people sitting at the bar counter on the stools. He became instantly confused, not understanding what Leaf wanted him to see. Ash looked at the bar counter again and instantly saw that familiar shade of brown hair. It was Giselle.
Ash furrowed his eyebrows as he took a closer look at the scene, seeing as she gave the bartender her money. He saw as she grabbed a bottle of beer and dropped her head back and chugged down a lot of it. As soon as she retreated her lips from the bottle, she immediately grabbed the bartender's face and began making out with him.
Ash was in shock, not expecting for Giselle to do something like that. He knew that she has a wild personality, but he never imagined that she would do something like that.
He pulled back from the window and looked over at Leaf. She noticed that somewhat hurt look present on his face and frowned. "Come on," she murmured as she urged him to walk with her somewhere else.
As Ash walked with her, he was just thinking about what he had just witnessed. He didn't understand why Giselle is the way she is and why she is acting that way. Why doesn't she want a relationship? Why does she hate romance so much? Why is she making out with random guys if she doesn't want a relationship? And most of all, why does she want just mindless sex and nothing else?
This all reminded him of that damn novel, Fifty Shades of Grey.
"How do you know her?" He let out. He was confused and he knew that Giselle was hiding something about herself, but he had no idea what it was. Also, why did Leaf want to show him what Giselle was up to? Let alone, how did Leaf know Giselle? He did remember Leaf telling him that she knew Giselle, but that wasn't enough. He needed to know more.
Leaf was quiet for a while as she walked slowly down the sidewalk with Ash. Ash continued looking at her, waiting for her response.
"… Well, believe it or not, she used to be my best friend." She said, sounding sad in the voice.
Ash blinked, surprised. "She was your best friend?"
"Yeah…" Leaf trailed off.
"Well, what happened? I never seen you guys talk to each other before."
Leaf sighed as she looked forward, continuing to walk. "That's because we stopped being friends after she changed into this… wild person."
Ash furrowed his eyebrows together in confusion. What could possibly be so bad to change Giselle into the person she is today?
"What happened to her?" He asked, impatient. He just wanted to know why she's the way she is and since Leaf knew her way before him, especially since Giselle had been her best friend, she must know everything about her.
"There was this guy she met a long time ago." She started, "We were just freshman at the time and he was a sophomore. You could say that he was really popular since he did attract many girls, including Giselle. And he hanged out with four other guys which was also popular." Leaf stopped her sentence and took a seat on a bench she had found in front of one of the stores as Ash sat beside her. "Well, his name is Silas, and there's one thing that I will never forget about him. He really knows how to act, and when I mean he knows, I mean he knows. He knew how to play with many girls minds, but he really knew how to play with Giselle's mind."
Ash started narrowing his eyes toward the floor as he listened, not sure of what to say.
"Silas was gorgeous, no doubt." She continued. "He had the whole package, long navy blue hair and blue eyes along with an eye catching six pack. He was just the best looking guy in school at the time." Leaf pulled out her phone as she began scrolling through Instagram to find a picture of him.
A guy with long navy blue hair and blue eyes… Ash remembered a guy named Silas with that same color hair and eyes.
No, it couldn't be him. There's no way.
After finding a good picture of him, she showed it to Ash.
Ash took a good look at the photo. It was him. "That's the guy that was captain of the basketball team last year and let me take over after he graduated."
Leaf nodded her head. "Yeah, he most certainly was the best basketball player, but he will always be an asshole."
"What did he do?" Ash wondered. Silas was the person Ash looked up to the most when it came to basketball. He was always such a great player and Ash always dreamed of being a great captain just like he did. But he also knew that Silas could be an asshole at times with girls.
Leaf sighed and then continued to speak, "He just ruined everything… Silas was really attracted to Giselle's physical appearance and that was it, while Giselle was attracted to more than just his looks. She fell into his trap, that trap he creates when it comes to girls."
"Well he was always a player, there's nothing surprising about that." Ash mumbled, remembering how Silas was.
"Yeah, but… this is different."
Ash looked at her.
"He always said all the right things and did all the right things. Giselle was in love with him, she even gave up her virginity to him. But of course, after he took her virginity, he started to take advantage of her."
Ash's face began to change. "She lost her virginity to him?" he asked her, sounding disappointed.
Leaf looked at him and nodded her head. "Yeah, which I personally believe was the dumbest idea."
Ash shook his head as he placed his elbows on his thighs and placed his head into his hands in frustration.
"He kept asking her for nudes whenever he got horny and of course she sent him nudes, being the naïve girl she was. But then again I couldn't blame her because I know how it feels to be in love with someone and she was just doing that out of love for him."
Ash breathed angrily from his nose and Leaf could tell that he was beginning to get upset, but he wanted to know the truth and she also felt that he needed to know the truth, especially since she could tell that he cared a lot about Giselle. She also felt that maybe, just maybe he can save her.
"I'm sorry Ash," she frowned, looking at him. "There's more to the story, but—"
"No, it's okay, you can continue." Ash told her, keeping his head in his hands as he struggled to keep calm.
Leaf stared at him in worry, but she let out a soft sigh and continued. "Well… after that happened, one day I saw him cheating on her with some cheerleader. And of course, Giselle was also a cheerleader at the time, but when I saw him cheating, I instantly told Giselle because she was my best friend and it really pissed me off when I saw him cheating."
Ash left one hand on his head and dropped the other toward his lap in anger as it clenched tightly. Leaf noticed from the corner of her eye, but she didn't bother acknowledging it. "Giselle was hurt and angry to find out that he had been cheating that she decided to ignore him a bit. But then this one night came, and she told me everything. He asked her for nudes again over a text and she refused to give him anymore nudes because she believed all he wanted from her was sex. So Giselle got mad and called him out on it, but she also made him mad which caused him to do something so horrible."
"And what was that?" Ash said, his head now facing her, an angry look on his face. He wasn't even so sure if he was ready to hear what exactly Silas did, but he knew Silas must have done something horribly wrong to make Giselle into the person she is today.
"Silas posted every nude she sent him all over Instagram that night and she called me panic, crying and everything—"
"He what!?" Ash got up, surprised with what he was hearing.
"It was really heartbreaking," Leaf frowned a bit as she remembered that night when Giselle called her. "She received so many friend requests from horny guys, dirty comments, rude comments from a lot of people, and those pictures kept getting posted over and over by a lot of people. Ever since Silas did that, her whole life changed for the worst."
Ash's fist was clenched so tightly. Silas did that to Giselle? And to think that he even looked up to a guy like him. Ash felt so betrayed and upset that Silas did such a thing. What type of person does that? He knew that Silas was a jerk towards girls, but doing something like that? That is just awful. That is just down right wrong.
Ash looked over at Leaf and noticed that she was about to cry. He tried to calm himself down as best as he could and took a seat next to her.
"It just really hurt me, Ash. She was going through so much pain and there was nothing I could do about it. Ever since those pictures had been posted, many girls and guys called her a whore, a slut, a skank—anything that sounded so horrible. Giselle couldn't even be herself at school without people staring at her with weird looks." Leaf felt a tear roll down her face as she wiped that tear. "Many guys started to be very disrespectful towards her. They would talk very dirty to her and touch her in places she didn't even want to be touched. She cried to me all the time. Every day something like that happened—even girls harassed her with harsh words, drawings and anything cruel."
"And Silas did that to her?" Ash couldn't even begin to think. He just knew that if he saw Silas face again, he was sure to have his face rearranged. This was one of the first times Ash ever felt so violent. And he never considers himself as a violent person.
Leaf nodded her head. "That continued for a while until Giselle came to school one day and decided to change her whole look and everything. She started to wear her hair sexier along with her make-up and she even began to wear sexier clothing. I guess that she got so tired of being attacked every day that she started to believe that she really was a whore, like how everyone made her seem…"
"She started to acknowledge all of the guys and flirt with them, and whenever she was around me, it was like she changed into a whole different person. She wasn't sad around me anymore, she was really… different." Leaf looked at Ash who was looking at her with a face she couldn't exactly analyze. Leaf knew that Ash was shocked to hear something like that about her, but he really needed to know the truth, especially since Giselle was her best friend.
Ash was quiet for a moment. "… Why did you guys stop being friends?"
"Well there was this one night we was at a club and some random guys we didn't even know invited her somewhere outside of the bar, so of course I felt like it was a bad idea because in my eyes, it looked like they were planning to take her somewhere and rape her and I didn't want that to happen. Giselle agreed to go, but I tried so desperately to change her mind and she didn't want to listen to me. Since that night, she broke off the friendship because she felt like I was trying to change her back to the person she used to be." Leaf frowned. "And it just pained me completely to see her walk away with those guys. Ever since, all she does is sleep around with guys and I hate it so much because I feel like it's all Silas' fault. If only he hadn't posted those pictures, then maybe she wouldn't be that kind of person."
Ash was angry, very angry and disappointed in Silas. Just finding out that he had did something so cruel to Giselle, Ash couldn't even look at him the same way anymore. Silas broke Giselle completely and Ash will never forgive him for that. If one day Ash sees Silas again, he was sure to make that day Silas' worst. Silas will pay.
"I'm so sorry Leaf," He managed to say, holding his anger as best as he could.
"I'm fine," she breathed a sigh, now turning her head to look at Ash. "I can tell you really care about her, Ash, so I want you to do me a favor and please change her back to the way she was. I know she's not ready for a relationship, I just know it, so don't force her into one."
Ash blinked, not sure of what to say to that.
"She really needs a friend. That's all she really needs." Leaf licked her lips slowly and then looked down at her lap.
Ash was still in shock about the news he had heard, not sure of what to say to Leaf. Everything did make since for why Giselle is the way she is, but he also felt very bad for her, knowing that she went through that much pain and let all those people get to her. It really bothered him.
"Alright," he said finally, patting Leaf's shoulder.
"Leave me, lying here. Cause I don't wanna go."
Dawn leaned against Paul's car, her butt pressing on the hood of the front of the car. Paul had been currently at the driver's seat, getting things situated since he was about to let her finally drive his car.
After getting things situated, he walked over to her and saw she had been staring at him with a very cocky look. He raised his eyebrow. "What?"
Dawn just smiled as she leaned against his car. She was currently wearing his leather jacket over a white tank top with black shorts and some black flip flops. She had her hair pulled up into a messy pony tail, but she also had a pair of shades at the top of her head.
Paul was just wearing some black sweatpants and a black T-shirt along with his red and black bred 11's. He always worn black and other dark colors, but his personal favorite was black because to him it suited him best.
Dawn stared at him with an innocent look, all Paul could see was her natural make-up over her eyes with some eyeliner and mascara. He grunted. Dawn grinned. "You're finally gonna teach me how to drive huh?"
Paul took a step closer to her, her knees touching his jeans and her upper chest almost touching his chest. Dawn made sure to keep her eyes on his face though. "I'm calling the cops on your ass if you try something stupid." He threatened.
"Yeah right," Dawn giggled, and licked her lips. "Do you have gum?"
Paul shoved one hand in his pocket and pulled out a strip of gum. As soon as he got the gum out of the wrapper, he brought it up to her mouth and let it fall inside as she began chewing it. Dawn smiled in satisfaction.
Paul rolled his eyes as he walked towards the passenger's door while Dawn went the other way towards the driver's door. They both got inside the car in unison, their door closing at the exact same time.
"Tell me, tell me what you really want from me. You gotta let me know."
Dawn let out a light sigh, her attention quickly going onto the rearview mirror. She pulled the mirror down a bit and she began messing with her bangs, trying to straighten them out while chewing gum at the same time.
Paul just stared at her with a bored look. Of course, that would be the first thing she does.
After fumbling with her hair, she turned her head toward Paul only to see him looking at her with a plain look.
"We aren't going to a Beauty Pageant." He mumbled.
"I know," she said, turning her head toward the front window as she put both of her hands on the wheel, continuing to chew her gum. "But you know, I like to look my best when I go out."
"You always look your best."
Dawn turned her head toward Paul and saw that he had been serious with that statement.
"You don't have to impress me all the time. You're perfect just the way you are."
Dawn blushed, "Thanks Paul."
Paul smiled and Dawn leaned in to give him a quick kiss on the lips. He acknowledged that kiss and then pressed his back onto the back of his seat while Dawn turned her body back to front of the car, placing her hands on the wheel again and continuing to chew her gum.
"Volcano Girls, we really can't be beat."
"I can't wait to start driving this thing," she mumbled, getting comfortable in her seat as her hands squeezed the wheel slightly.
"Don't get too cocky," he ordered.
Dawn looked at him and raised her eyebrow, still chewing her gum.
"I just got this car and knowing you, you might destroy her."
"Having doubts huh?" She asked with her eyebrows raised.
Paul just gave her a serious look and Dawn laughed. "Relax, I'm not gonna hurt her."
"Cookie is sensitive." Paul told her.
Dawn laughed again, still surprised by the simple fact that he even named his car that. "Cookie isn't going to be attacked by the Cookie Monster, so relax." Dawn turned the keys from the key slot and started the car.
Paul had his eyes on what she had been doing, studying everything she was doing. "Make sure you don't press the gas too hard. The slower you are, the less chances you have at getting into an accident."
Dawn turned her head towards him. Paul stared back at her, seeing as she gave him a blank look.
"I just don't want you to get hurt." He added.
Dawn rolled her eyes as she grabbed her glasses shades from the top of her head and pulled it down, the black lenses now covering over her eyes. "There's no need to worry." She said finally, turning her head back to the front.
Paul kept his stare on her before reverting his attention back on the steps. "Alright, put your foot on the brake and put it in drive."
Dawn did as she was told, getting a bit more excited as she saw the view in front of her a bit darker since she was wearing shades.
"Check your blind spots and then gently hit the gas." Paul told her.
Dawn looked at the blind spot mirrors and then pressed her foot on the gas as she began moving the car.
"Leave me, lying here. Cause I don't wanna go."
Paul moved his eyes toward the front window and also all the other windows to make sure she was doing it right.
After driving out of the woods where the cabin was at, Paul was starting to wonder if Dawn didn't really need driving lessons after all.
Paul turned his head to her when they were on the highway.
Dawn kept her eyes concentrated on the road, beginning to blow a huge bubble from the gum she was chewing before it popped completely.
"You don't need driving lessons, do you?" He asked her.
Dawn smirked, exchanging a look at him and then at the road. "No." She answered. "I've known how to drive this whole time, I got my permit a long time ago." She laughed.
Paul rolled his eyes, already becoming slightly annoyed. He was surprised she even knew how to drive, but he was also surprised that she actually tricked him into thinking that she couldn't.
"Wanna see something cool?" She mumbled, looking over at him and then back toward the front of the window.
Paul kept his eyes towards the front of the window and on the car currently in front of them. He leaned his back against the seat. "Sure, why not." He mumbled.
Dawn smirked. "Hold on tight…" She warned him, her hands gripping the wheel tightly.
Paul's eyes instantly widened when he heard those words.
"I'm falling off, I am watered down and fully grown."
Dawn had pressed her foot more on the gas which increase the speed level on the car.
She turned the car sharply to the right, making sure not to hit the car that was just in front of them.
Paul whipped his head towards her. "Dawn, what the fuck!?" He shouted.
She was driving awfully fast in a way he wasn't comfortable with. It was as if she was racing or some sort, but Paul didn't like it at all. Dawn driving his car that fast? How about fuck no.
Dawn giggled. "Relax Paul, there's no need to worry."
"Yeah and every time you say that bullshit something bad always happens." He scowled.
Dawn rolled her eyes though Paul couldn't really see it since she did have on sun glasses.
Paul turned his attention onto the window, making sure she wouldn't hit anything.
Dawn chewed on her gum even more before blowing another bubble. As she was blowing another bubble, she pressed her foot even more on the gas, increasing the speed level. She made a sharp turn to the left, dodging one car and made another sharp turn to the right, dodging another car.
"This isn't fast and the furious." Paul pointed out, his heart beginning to race. For the first time in his life, he felt scared. And Paul was never scared of anything.
The bubble Dawn created soon popped as soon as Paul said those words, her attention still focused on the road. "I don't care," she mumbled as she tailed behind a large truck.
"I told you about the Seether before. You know that one that's neither or nor."
Paul eyed her, wondering what she was about to do.
Dawn drove steadily behind the large truck until she had been on the right side of it. She kept looking at the road in front of her and also at the truck. Her attention was mostly focused underneath the truck.
Paul kept looking at her, his eyebrows furrowing together when he realized she had been staring at the huge opening there was underneath that huge truck. "You better not think about it." He demanded.
Dawn smirked, adjusting her glasses. "Come on Paul, live a little."
Dawn moved the car right under the truck, increasing the speed of the car a bit more so that the truck wouldn't touch the car at all.
"Are you fucking insane!?" Paul screamed.
Dawn was giggling uncontrollably as she remained under the truck for a few more seconds before moving the car to the left smoothly, getting out from underneath the large truck.
"Leave me, lying here. Cause I don't wanna go."
When Paul thought she was done surprising him, he was proved wrong when she did a sharp 360 degree turn towards the exit.
Dawn was laughing hard when they got off the highway, now slowing the car a bit until she got at regular speed level. She found Paul's reaction priceless.
Paul was glaring hard at her as she now drove steadily, a grin still on her face.
Dawn looked at him and then back at the road. She laughed again. "Don't be mad."
"Don't be mad? You almost got us killed." He said in anger, a serious look playing on his face.
"We're alive Paul, nothing bad happened to us." She giggled, now moving her shades to the top of her head. "Besides, I wanted to show you some neat tricks I learned from an old friend of mine."
"I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go."
