(Seventh Grade)
Surrounded by a field of flowers, she was sitting in the center of it, plucking the flowers around her to create a ring around her finger. "Hey Dawn". she looked back and saw Paul making his way over to her, he held a beautiful white tulip in his hand holding it out for her.
Her eyes lit up with excitement from the flowers beauty and Paul's sweetness, she was picking herself up from the ground but flinched and fell hard on the grass, letting herself stay that way, she was scrunching her face up but from the pain she was feeling.
"Dawn!" he rushed over to her side and knelt beside the bluenette, he grabbed her arm in an attempt to turn her over on her back but she flinched once more and yelped, he quickly pulled his hand away, looking at her now confused at the situation.
"What's wrong? are you ok?" she tried picking herself up once more but he tried to help her, she pulled her arm away from him but took his hand, when she was on her feet she gave a small curve from her lips and nodded.
"y-yeah….i'm just sore…". he gave her a funny look, "Sore"?
"Yeah…..i um, i was dancing in my room and i tripped over my foot and hit myself against my nightstand, no biggie".
He kept that same look in his eyes, the look that said he didn't believe her one bit, but she challenged him back with a genuine smile, he sighed and gave her a small smirk.
"Well….you are clumsy". she furrowed her brows playfully, he grabbed her hand and placed the tulip in it, receiving redemption and getting her to smile again.
"It's so pretty, thanks Paul". she kissed his cheek, he looked away trying to prevent her from seeing his crimson shaded face.
"Paul! Dawn! where are you?!" they could hear Leaf's voice calling out for them, she decided to respond back, "We're over here!" May's voice appeared now, "C'mon! Ash and I hungry so we're all heading to the Jimmy's burger joint to eat!"
"What do you say?" he looked at her waiting for an answer.
She looked down at her flower and then nodded with a small cheek lifting grin, "Well….i am a little hungry".
They walked alongside each other practically touching shoulders, she giggled and bumped herself against him but flinched when she remembered about her arm, he stared down at her sleeved shoulders with a serious look and then at her as she smiled and waved upon seeing the rest of the group.
(Jimmy's rocket burger joint)
Jimmy's burger joint, one of the most popular hangout places in the town, mostly recognized just because the gang hung out their at times, it was vibrant, with a white light blue wall scheme, and a fifty's look to it, checkered floors, a counter surrounding the kitchen, large group seating booths, white counter tops and red leather seating, there was even a jukebox for them to play their music.
They entered in prompting the man at the counter to greet them, "Look who's back! great to see the gang!" he exclaimed, one by one they smiled and waved back at him, Paul noticed a group of boys sitting near the entrance were staring and whispering upon seeing Dawn, they looked at him next causing the purple headed boy to glare madly at them, they quickly looked away, they took their seats and began looking at the menu that was imprinted on the counter tops.
"Hmmmm…...everything looks just so good!" squealed May happily and hungrily eyeing every item on the menu, Drew sweatdropped and face planted his head on the counter, "What will i do with you?"
"I'll have one of everything!" they stopped and looked at Ash who had a dead serious face on him.
"Glad i have 911 on speed dial because looks like someone will be getting a heart attack today". sighed Misty, her voice made it seem as if this was a usual thing which made the waitress worry.
"C'mon Mist…...I've never had a heart attack in my life". he smiled and kept on looking at the menu, drooling over it along with May.
"I'll have a milkshake". Leaf was the first to order, Gary nodded with wanting the same.
"I'll have the double cheeseburger with extra cheese and a side of seasoned fries with onion rings please, oh! and with a vanilla milkshake!". May began dazing off about her food order, Drew took in a deep breath pinched the bridge of his nose, "I'll just have a strawberry milkshake and eat the crumbs this on leaves...unless she eats those two". she puffed out her cheeks and furrowed her eyebrows when she heard his response, he laughed and then winked at her making her forget about what just happened.
"Gee May….you can eat for all of sinnoh can't you?" joked Gary, the girls held in their breath and the boys shook their heads.
"Mer…..Hurp!" he suddenly found himself in a chokehold by May, her eyes were flaming up.
"What was that Gary oak?!" she choked him tighter.
"I'm…...serry!" he gurgled out, she was pulled away by Drew who patted her head and gave Gary that wide eyed look shaking his head side to side very slowly and swiping his hand across his throat as a signal of no and to stop or he'll die.
Leaf couldn't contain her giggles but tried to be as sympathetic for Gary as she could, "Are you ok?" she tried to keep a straight face but bursted out into laughter again, he squinted his eyes looking the other way away from her.
"I guess since everyones having shakes i'll get one two, Vanilla please". ordered the bluenette acting as if nothing had happened.
"Chocolate for me". Paul ordered after her.
"I'll just have a water". Misty requested, they looked at Ash, who was surprisingly the last to order.
"Hmmm…...i'll have the double bacon cheeseburger with extra extra bacon, curly fries, some onion rings, along with a side of chili cheese fries and a chocolate shake…..please". he smiled widely at the woman who looked overwhelmed by all of them, she didn't say word but just walked away, looking as if she just had the weirdest experience in her life.
"Great….you scared her off with your enormous appetite". sighed Paul as he rolled his eyes.
"Hellooooooooo ambulance". Misty face palmed taking out her phone and placing it on the counter just in case.
"Every waitress acts like this, you'd think they would understand a growing kid needs his food". grunted the raven haired boy crossing his arms angrily.
"It's not everyday they meet….you". smirked Gary, Ash glared at him.
He laughed in response, "What...are you going to eat me too Ashy boy?"
"Maybe i will". he slipped further down into his seat mumbling incoherent words now.
Dawn scooted out of her seat suddenly catching Paul's attention as he was smirking at Ash's misery and Gary's taunting of the raven haired boy, he looked up at her she fixed her skirt and then prompted to ask, "Where are you going"? she gave him an assuring smile and pointed down the aisle, "Restroom, i'll be back".
She walked off leaving the disastrous and yet eye catching group with Paul looking after her until she disappeared from around the corner.
"That's it!"
"Hey…...does anyone notice what's going on with Dawn lately?" he looked back at the group only to see Gary being pulled over the table by Ash who was holding him in a choke hold, Misty and Leaf tried pulling both boys apart while Drew watched in amusement and May began shooting paper towel balls through a mustard and ketchup goal.
He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed deeply with a grunt, "These idiots….."
She continued walking down the hall past the door that led into the kitchen until she reached the only door at the end of the hall, that one and the emergency exit one, she entered it and closed the door behind turning on the lights, she walked over to the mirror and stood there, solely staring at herself in a blank state, her expression quickly changed when she frowned and took off her cardigan, turning to her side in the mirror.
She sighed then closed her eyes looking away, but opened them and turned them back to the mirror, staring at the large black and purple bruises on her arms.
She shook her head and covered herself back up, after doing her business she exited out of the restroom but found herself face to face with the same boys who were checking her out earlier.
They seemed a bit older than her, high schoolers, they also looked troubling which began making her worry even more.
"Let's take a little walk, blue". she kept staring at the end of the hall, hoping someone would appear, but no one, she swallowed the building saliva in her mouth and closed her eyes trembling now from fear, following them as one of them walked ahead of her and the other two were behind her, they walked out of the emergency exit leaving it to slowly shut close.
He kept looking up at the clock, staring at the aisle, and then back at the clock, going back and forth between the two, the waitress arrived placing everyones food and shakes on the table, he then looked at her vanilla milkshake which just stood there, in front of her empty seat.
"Ash calm down! you're practically devouring the entire dish". Misty growled.
"Same for you May, you're going to end up getting ketchup on your clothes…..again". Drew shook his head, already knowing the brunette wasn't paying attention.
"Hey Paul, where's Dawn"? Leaf asked, taking a sip of her shake and then quirking an eyebrow.
"Yeah man, didn't she say she was going to the restroom"? Gary asked, brooding over to Paul.
"Yeah...but it's been too long, something's not right". he had a grave look to himself making the others stop what they were doing and look at him as he seemed to be in a thinking state.
His eyes quickly looked over to the table where the three guys from earlier were now gone, his eyes widened upon figuring it out, without even saying a word he took off from his seat and ran off towards the direction Dawn went, the rest of them looked at each other and then prompted doing the same, May and Ash decided to take their plates along.
He passed the kitchen door and stopped when he reached the restroom door, he hoped to see her inside or let it be closed with her in it but the knob turned and the door flew open, there was no one in inside.
"Paul!" the rest of them were now at the end of the hallway rushing over but he looked at the exit and glared at it, pushing the door open and going through, he found himself in an alleyway with two roads, right and left, one leading to the streets and one leading to another alley way.
He went to the side leading to another alley way, the group bursted through the exit door watching as Paul was already heading down the Alleyway where he took a right to the next connected alley.
"C'mon". Gary led ahead following the same path Paul took.
He didn't hold back, "Dawn!"
He heard a gasp in the distance, then came her voice, " Paul!"
He pressed his hand over her chest pushing her back against the wall harshly, she twitched and flinched again from the hard impact.
The three males looked over at the direction where his voice came from, they stood in place waiting for it to get closer.
"Is that your boyfriend coming over to save you"? sneered one of the males scrunching his nose in disgust.
She glared at him, "No, Paul's my friend and he's going to kick your ass, real good". she sneered back at him.
"We'll see about that". he put one of his hands behind his back and pulled up a knife, making her jump from fright.
"Not so mouthy now, are you"? he smirked, staring her down with his piercing dark chilling eyes.
(Present time with Paul)
He kicked him over with his boot, making the now beaten male tremble and weakly look up at him from the ground, the concreted ground which was now stained with his blood heavily.
"I'm impressed, stabbed two times already, and yet you still won't tell us the location of the giratina's warehouse, brave…..yet foolish". smirked the pretty pleased purple haired leader.
He looked over at the two guys who had blood on their hands, he nudged his chin upwards signaling them to hold the gang member up once more, they followed his orders grabbing the male from the floor and holding him up on his feet, he began trembling even more violently as Paul took out his knife again, wiping the blood from it with his gloved hands.
"Let's go for round three...shall we"? he had the most chilling blank stare ever, making the male finally give in and start crying from his wounds and torture.
"OK! OK! I'll tell you! just please! no more"! he signaled the two members to drop the boy which they did, he curled up into a ball and began shivering and shaking keeping his eyes shut tightly.
He crouched down to the wounded males level, "Where is it". he demanded, sliding the knife across the ground making an irritating sound with it.
"I-it's…..it's b-by the northern p-pier…...it's the….red warehouse".
"You did yourself a favor, you didn't get yourself killed". he smirked lightly tapping his hand against the boys cheek.
He stood up turning his back to the group and walked off, "Take him to the hospital, he'll need to get those wounds checked out".
They nodded grabbing the male by his hands and feet and picking him up, "Wait…." he muttered out, slowly losing conscious.
He stopped, not bothering to turn back, "What".
"Y-you b-b-better hurry…...they have your g-girlfriend….who knows what Barry w-will do t-to her….".
He looked at the ground in a quizzical state, not knowing what the guy meant by that, "Girlfriend"?
He turned around, "Who"?! the boy had already lost consciousness, he sighed in a rough matter and ordered them to take the boy away.
"Girlfriend…." his eyes widened when he had figured it out.
"Troublesome". he whispered, he looked at the rest of the group and gave them a signal to get ready to go.
They each grabbed their helmets and took off for their rivals warehouse on their motorcycles, one of them handed him a pair of keys which he used to unlock a nicely foreign black sports car.
He drove off, speeding way past the limit of the streets in a hurry.
(With Dawn)
"Silver…do you think they'll kill us"? she whimpered as a tear began falling out, she closed her eyes to prevent anymore from falling out.
"Maybe". was his simple response in a deadpan voice.
He could hear her whimpering louder and louder and her runny nose as she sniffed in to prevent anything coming out of her nose, he rolled his eyes looking paler from before due to his wounds.
"I was kidding…...well they might kill me, but they'll probably just keep you".
"What?! they can't kill you!"
"Apparently you forgot who we're dealing with here….". he responded boredly.
"Silver we have to get out of here". she began rocking her chair from side to side but ended up falling over, prompting her to groan out in pain fromt the hard impact on her shoulder and arm.
"You think i haven't tried that before? Besides, there are no windows, the door is locked, and there are a group of them just out there waiting to gang up on us if we try to leave".
"Great…" she sighed rolling her eyes and just resting her head on the cold hard floor.
A couple of minutes later he heard raspy voices from behind, "What. are. you. doing"? she began squirming around with the chair, moving forward and then turning in order to reach silver's front side, she was scraping herself on the ground which she was enduring but managed to reach the maroon haired boy up close.
He looked at her as she was just on the ground still squirming but this time to free herself from the ropes and duct tape.
"You sure are something….." he boredly responded.
She groaned from the struggle, "I'll take that as compliment thank you very much".
They heard the knob turn over, her head snapped over to the door where it opened up revealing Lucas, he looked mildly shocked at where the bluenette was at, but then laughed about it.
"You sure are something". he kept laughing, she rolled her eyes, "Apparently everyone thinks that way about me today".
"C'mon". he picked her and set her back up in her seating position, he then gave his attention over to Silver where his expression became dead serious as well as his voice, he began untying him, "You. We got some unfinished business".
"Likewise". smirked the silver eyed male.
"W-where are you taking him"? worried the bluenette now fearing about what they might do to him.
"Don't worry about it, you're too pretty to be filled with such gruesome thoughts". responded the blue haired male.
She began panicking, breathing heavily and faster and shifting her eyes back and forth to try to come up with something, "Wait!" she closed her eyes and exclaimed out, he stopped to look over at her, waiting for a response, "what".
Her eyes shot open, giving him the most sensual and seductive look ever, her lips curved up into a devious yet sensual grin, "Why don't you and i have some fun"? she purred over to him, Silver had a somewhat unexpected shocked look on his face as to the bluenettes actions.
"Maybe later". he grinned, winking over to her.
She pouted, "I won't be in the mood later, and when i'm not in my mood you won't experience the true fun i can show you, and since i'm in the mood right now….." she bit down on her lip, shifting her body in a seductive manner and moving her legs to cross them over which had caught his attention, he gulped upon seeing how infatuated he was by her seducing ways.
He stopped what he was doing and went over now untying her from the chair, she looked over to Silver who still had his shocked face, she smiled at him and then winked as a sign that he's safe for now. When he untied her he took her hand and helped her up from her seat, she lightly placed her hand on his bicep and then squeezed it.
"Wow...that's really…..hard". she whispered into his ear making his eyes roll back from pleasure.
She grabbed his hand and looked into his eyes with that same look again, "Why don't we go somewhere really quiet…...and private". she purred, he nodded as if he was hypnotized and led her out, she looked back at Silver who now had a look of anger, not liking the position she was putting herself in for him.
"You idiot girl". he mumbled, now squirming frantically and trying to break free from the chair.
(Paul)
He drove up to the warehouse, the rest of his gang driving up beside him surrounding the entire building, he stepped up, looking at the building with pure hatred, his hands had formed into fists and slammed the door to his car hard making his way to the entrance, the rest of the members following behind.
He kicked the door open startling the members from the rival gang who were nearby, he stopped once he was inside and looked around, staring coldly at every one of the rivals, they glared back at him in response.
"Where are they?" he demanded chillingly.
"Well if it isn't my rival, Paul, what brings you here, to my warehouse"? growled the blonde headed leader walking up from the back, they went face to face.
"Where. are. they". he growled this time.
"Who"? he smirked back, making Paul only angrier, he grabbed the blondes jacket pulling him in closer.
"You already know who".
He pulled himself away dusting his jacket off and keeping his smirk to only anger the purple headed boy more.
"I don't know who you mean, but i did find myself a very delicious blue haired beauty downtown earlier, she's a real sight, i think i'll keep her".
His fists had begun tightening even more, "Not a chance".
"Hm, i don't understand, is...she your girlfriend"? he faked a shocking expression, Paul scoffed, "No".
"Oh good, because you know i'm a man of honor, i wouldn't touch another man's girl, and well this one, she's just a gem, i mean the feeling of her nice soft lips…"
His teeth began gritting dangerously that they began making a sharp raspy sound.
"...and soft smooth skin, along with the nice curves going on, and that skirt she was wearing, such a tease". he chuckled, giving Paul a taunting look.
"I have to say though, she is such a good kisser, i wouldn't mind feeling those lips on my-"
"Jun!" he was venting through his nostrils as he held his fist up, looking down madly at the blonde who was lying on the ground with a bloody nose now.
"Where's Dawn"?! he shouted, he looked back at his group and gave them the "go" to start attacking.
"I wouldn't know". he got back up on his feet and shrugged, wiping the blood from his nose.
He went in for another punch but the blonde dodged it and struck Paul in his gut, he kept himself standing and instead tackled himself over onto the blonde falling to the ground with him, he pinned him onto the ground where he kept placing punch after punch on him.
He shoved Paul over this time getting ontop and pinning him down throwing punch after punch on him, "If i didn't know better i'd say she was your girlfriend and you lied to me dear Paul". he smiled madly down at him and landed a harder more gruesome punch on the purple haired males jaw, making him spit out blood and busting his lip open.
"So what if she is"? he spat in his face making him shut his eyes, he knocked him over to the ground and then stood up picking Jun up along, he grabbed him by the head and slammed it down on the hood of one of the cars in the warehouse, knocking him out completely and leaving him lying on the ground unconsciously.
He made his way through the crowds of members from both gangs going at it, he went through each hall and aisle and through every room, when he reached the very back he found the last door standing there and entered through.
"Paul". He looked up and saw the purple haired boy standing there, he cut through each rope and tape freeing Silver, he then looked over at the second chair that was empty.
"Who else was in here"? he questioned, looking down at the chair Dawn previously sat on, he kicked it to the wall angrily.
"Some blue haired chick, her name was Dawn". he responded back, pressing his hand against his torso.
"Shit...they stabbed you". he moved Silver's hand seeing the wound which was now seeping blood out.
"Go with the guys, go to the hospital, i need to stay here and find her". he rushed off but Silver held him back by the shoulder.
"I'm going with you, that chick gave herself up to save me, i'm not about to leave without doing her a favor". he nodded and wrapped Silvers arm around his neck, rushing out as fast they could.
(With Dawn)
She couldn't stop staring at the ground, worrying about leaving a wounded Silver and about having to give herself to a criminal, she could feel her tears build up, but she stopped them.
*Be strong Dawn…...even though you barely know this Silver guy, you couldn't have just let them kill him, you had to do something, time to be heroic*
He kept leading her down a dark aisle, he stopped and turned around to her, he backed her up against the wall and kissed her, pressing his lips firmly against hers then pulling them apart.
"You're so beautiful…..and just so tempting, C'mon". he kept leading her through, they reached the end of it and ended up at the side of the warehouse, Paul and Silver had appeared out from one of the other aisles looking around to see if they saw her.
"There"! Silver pointed to the front then flinched.
They saw Lucas the majority because he was tall and were only able to catch a glimpse of Dawn's blue hair from behind all the cars, they ran towards their direction and then saw them exiting out from a side door.
When they followed through they then saw her getting inside his car with him speeding off, "Let's go" Paul helped Silver into his car and drove off after the two bluenettes.
"Where the hell is he taking her?" he growled angrily staring after Luca's black car.
"Probably to his place". responded Silver, scrunching his face from the pain of his wound.
"Why are they going there"?
"Dawn seduced him to distract him from taking me away, if it wasn't for her i'd probably be laying on the ground dead by now".
"That moron". he sighed angrily shaking his head.
"Do you know this girl"? Silver quirked an eyebrow, curious to know.
He took in a deep breath and released, "Yeah…..well…..we used to know each other".
He gripped onto the wheel and sped up, this time to past Lucas and then made a sharp turn stopping right in front of them causing the blue haired boy to step on the brake, stopping right next to Paul.
"You"! he growled once he saw Paul in the car with Silver.
Dawn however looked happy to see them, "Paul". she muttered with lit up eyes.
They both stepped out of their cars, going face to face, "How the hell did you find the warehouse"? he scowled at the purple haired boy.
"Does it matter? I came here for her". he pointed at Dawn, she looked a bit confused not knowing what they were saying.
"Well, that's too bad, she belongs to me now".
"I hate when people take what belongs to me, especially when it's my girl". he punched Lucas to the ground and then kicked him in the face instantly knocking him out, the bluenette flinched from the scene but didn't seem that surprised of his actions.
He walked over to the car opening up the door and looking down at her coldly, "Get out". she held her hands up defensively and stepped out jumping when he slammed the door harshly.
He ran his hand through his hair and sighed annoyingly, "Are you freaking crazy?!" he began scolding her, she flinched from the mean tone in his voice.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" she shouted back now angry at him.
"You try be to be heroic by slutting yourself up to this moron"?! he pointed over to Lucas's unconscious body, she crossed her arms and shifted her weight onto one hip glaring at him now.
"Slutting myself up is what saved your buddy over there being killed! So an apology should be given instead!" she poked his chest, he growled under his breath.
"Whatever". he looked away already annoyed by her.
She saw the dried up blood on his mouth, she grabbed onto his chin making his face now face hers, "Your lip, it's busted open".
"So". she rolled her eyes, "We need to get it cleaned up you idiot".
"Just get in the car". he slapped her hand away from his chin and walked away, she began angrily choking the air, she entered the back seat and drove off with them.
(St. Arceus's Hospital)
"Ow". he responded in a bored voice, she kept dabbing the cotton ball lightly on the cut on his lip.
They were both sitting on chairs placed beside Silver's bed, although Silver himself was not in it, she sat in front of him while still tending to his wounds.
"Thanks". he mumbled, avoiding to look at the now bubbly expression she had.
"For?" she pretended to not know.
"Really"? he gave her that serious look, she sighed as she rolled her eyes, "You're welcome".
The doors slid open with the doctor walking in, he was tanned, with light brown spiky hair and squinted eyes, "How is he takeshi"? he asked standing from his seat.
"He should recover in a few weeks, luckily he wasn't stabbed in any serious parts of the body, but for now he should only rest, rest, and rest some more".
"Thanks". they watched as they wheeled him in and placed him on the bed, he was asleep, drugged on morphine but completely out.
"I'll leave you to it". they were left alone in the room with him.
"Paul….."
"What". he responded still looking down at Silvers body.
"Are you….the leader of the Rayquaza gang"? Her voice became unsure but she kept her ground when he turned his head back to her, she began getting nervous.
"What's it to you"?
She stayed quiet, hugging herself and looking away, he sighed, "Yeah, i am".
"Why"?
"What do you mean why? I like being a leader and that's all there is to it".
She shook her head, "Tell Silver i hope he gets better, goodbye Paul". she brushed the curtain away and slid the door open, "Wait…" she stopped, waiting for a response.
"Let me take you where you need to go, i can't have you getting kidnapped again, it'll be a nuisance having to rescue you again if that happened". he smirked, she giggled but then nodded.
"I still need to go to work".
"I'll take you then, c'mon". he walked out of the room leading her to follow him.
(Downtown)
He drove up to the front of the restaurant, she stepped out closing the door after her, "Thanks for the ride, bye Paul". she walked off, he began thinking, he laid his head back and closed his eyes releasing a deep breath then slamming his fist onto the wheel, he turned his car off and got out going to the back trunk where he took out a covered plastic bag containing a perfectly fitted suit, when he got out of his car he was changed in an all new outfit, black suit with a blue tie and his hair nicely slicked back.
When he entered she was nowhere to be found, the hostess walked up to him with an infatuated look in her eyes, "Welcome! Oh my! Mr. shinji! We weren't expecting you." she looked a bit shocked at his sudden appearance.
He didn't pay much attention but instead kept looking for the bluenette, "I decided for a last minute dinner".
"A-are your father and brother with you? or a date? Shall i make it a table for three, two"?
He shook his head, "No, just one will do".
Her face lit up when she heard one, "Right this way sir". he followed her to his table where he was seated, "The waitress will be right with you". she winked at him but he didn't care let alone pay attention making her angry, she walked away disappointed.
(Dawn)
"Sorry sorry sorry i'm late!" she pleaded to the blue haired man, he chuckled.
"It's fine Dawn, i know how you were forced into detention so it's understandable". he smiled, her eyes glistened with happiness as she hugged him.
"Ugh! Thanks riley!" she pulled away saluting him, he laughed making his way out to the kitchen, "Sometimes you just make my day Dawn". his chuckling continued down the hall.
"Dawn! There you are!" she turned around to smile at the Redhead who rushed over to her.
"What's wrong Zoey?"
"Table no. 12, that's you, one of the most important guests of the restaurant just arrived right now, don't mess this up".
"Most important? Wow….Don't worry i won't mess it up". she tied her hair up, and wrapped the apron around her waist grabbing her notepad and pen along.
She walked out onto the dining floor where she immediately caught the attention of most of the male dining guests who seemed intrigued by the bluenette, she walked over to the west wing of the restaurant and saw the table, when she got closer her eyes widened.
He sat there, drinking a glass of champagne and smirking up at her, "There you are".
"Paul! What are you doing here?! and what are you doing sitting at table number 12, it's for someone important now get out!" she whispered angrily to him.
"Doesn't it cross your little mind, that i might be this important person". he kept that same smirk which she wasn't fond of at the time.
"How can you possibly be important to this restaurant"? she placed both hands on her hips.
"Figure it out yourself, now are you going to take my order or not"? he grinned deviously as he took a sip of his drink.
"Fine….what will it be sir?" she rolled her eyes.
"Nothing will do, but i will take another bottle of this fine champagne". he held up his glass.
"You're not even legal enough to drink you moron".
"According to them, i can".
"Most importantly where did you get the suit, and the hair"?
"None of that concerns you now does it".
"Jerk". she spat into her voice walking away.
"Just to let you know, i'll be here till your shift is over".
"Oh no…." she closed her eyes and began mumbling incoherently as she continued walking away.
A few minutes later she arrived bringing him a new bottle of champagne, "Would you like some more champagne….sir"? her voice sounded sour, she sighed waiting for an answer as he continued taking sips from his glass, making her wait beside his table.
"No, you can just leave the bottle, but i would like a bit company, sit". his voice was so demanding, she glared at him.
"Are you nuts? i'm not sitting down, i have work to do….idiot". She turned around only to stop when she heard what he had to say".
"I'm one of this restaraunts most important customer, so unless you want me requesting them to fire you, which they will, then you better take a seat".
She became overwhelmed, with violent feelings towards him, she took her seat right across from him, he still looked so calm and collected like usual, he held up his glass and toasted it to her.
"Paul…..why are you doing this"?
"I'm bored, and i won't be free for another few hours so i might as well relax".
"And by definition your meaning of relaxing is by harassing me at work"?
He nodded, "Why not"?
"Paul…...we haven't spoken to each other in years…..we've never even spoken to each other at school…...so why now"? She laid her hands on the tables, crossing them over and lightly began tracing her finger over the silverware.
"Are you forgetting who saved you"? he growled back, she flinched, then scoffed.
"Yeah, but is that even a reason for you to even start talking to me"? she looked away, she stood up from her chair.
She walked off but screamed when she was lifted off the ground and hauled over his broad shoulders, the entire restaurant was now staring at them, she flailed like crazy but his grip on her was pretty tight, Zoey and Riley rushed out to see the commotion but stopped and were hypnotized by the sort of romantic sight.
"You two, I'm taking this one with me". they nodded, blushing at his handsomeness.
"Paul! Dammit put me down!"
"You". he pointed at Zoey, she pointed at herself, he nodded, "Bring her clothes to me". she ran to the back and quickly came back holding her bag and clothes, he grabbed it with his other hand and made his way out with her.
"What the hell is a matter with you?!" she smacked him when he set her down, he didn't react however, which made her worry, he opened the trunk and threw her stuff in then opened the passenger door and shoved her in.
He entered through the drivers door and sat there, staring ahead which began making her even more nervous, "Paul….what's going on"?
"I'm bored…." He turned the car on, speeding off with the bluenette seated near him.
"Don't you have to handle some gangster business?! don't get me involved with your criminal activities!" she started pouncing her fists onto his shoulder, the look on his face immediately told her he was close to exploding, so she stopped.
He took in a deep breath, "Not really, they can handle themselves, are you hungry"?
"No…." her stomach rumbled, he quirked an eyebrow staring her down then looking back at the road.
"Typical you". he snarled, still keeping his eyes on the road, she crossed her arms peeking out the window.
"Ok fine...just a bit".
*I shouldn't be hanging around Paul, i can already feel trouble coming towards my way, this is not what i expected at all, but….it kind of does feel nice, to be hanging around him again, after all these years….hm... it….really does remind me of the old days, when we were so close…*
His eyes glanced over to the corner, he saw the bluenette dozing off as she stared out the window, *I don't know what the hell's going on with me….but i just can't seem to leave her alone, i could have just left her at work and gone my own way, but i just can't, and i can't deny it though…..it is a good feeling to be talking to her and being with her….even if it's fighting….she's all in my mind*
(Dawn's POV)
I feel so nervous, stiff, tense, i just can't get comfortable…...then again…..i am inside the car of one of, if not the only most dangerous guy in the city or even region. Even though i know Paul….we are like strangers, we haven't talked, let alone associated or even made contact since the last time we ever saw each other. But from what i remember back in middle school…..Paul was definitely the single most cruelest and toughest guy anyones ever known, he was never a fighter when we were so close, but when people shoved him to the edge…...or even…...tried anything or messed with me...he just snapped and went into extreme rage, i admit it would scare me, but it was because at that moment i cared for him, a lot, and i never wanted anything bad to happen to him.
I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes, why is it suddenly so hard for me to withstand being here, i was fine being near him when we were in detention, or on his bike, or even when i was in the car with silver…..then again, there was either someone with us….or we couldn't even speak because he was driving like 200 mph, but still, that's not the point! Why is it that i just want the urge to suddenly toss myself out the car and run away?
"Troublesome….."
My chest began hurting, why did i even agree to come with him, i could have just slapped him or punched him in the stomach and made an escape….yet i allowed myself to be swept off my feet and taken away prisoner by him…..two kidnappings in one day…..lucky me.
"...Some".
Paul…..you jerk, why the hell are you suddenly coming back like this…..i don't want it, i just want to live my life in peace, and with you coming back in…..it's only going to make things hard, it was hard back then…..and i can't even think about what will happen now.
"Troublesome!". I shrieked and jumped from my seat, it was Paul, and his very demeaning and cold voice that startled me like hell, i looked over at him, he was just staring at me with those dark chilling eyes, i glared back at him, why the hell does he have to scream?!
"What?" i growled in response.
"We're here, you wouldn't snap out of your little day dream so i had to yell". his voice was much calmer, he stepped out of the car, i did the same, and suddenly found myself in the middle of the city strip, where all of the fun happens, it's like the only part of the city that never sleeps, they just party all night long , it was full of endless shops, boutiques, clubs built on top of restaurants, giant tv screens, malls, pretty much anything fun was here.
"What…..what are we doing here"? I looked at him, he was leaning against the meter pole, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it up, i was nearly shocked to unconsciousness, Paul?! Smoking?! Since when?!
"Are you crazy?!" I pulled the smoke out of his mouth and threw it on the ground stomping it furiously, he glared at me.
"What the hell was that for?!" he stood up from the meter now looking down at me….man did i feel small.
I stood my ground however and began poking his bicep angrily, "Are you nuts?! Why the hell are you smoking?! Don't you know smoking is bad for you?! Do you want to die?! Have a metal lung?! You irresponsible clump nugget!" at this point i was already starting to flail my arms all over the place, his reaction however….never even once changed, he looked bored out of his mind...as if my words didn't even get through to him...the nerve!
"So…..you're saying i should stop smoking"? I nodded, of course you moron! Do you want to die early?! Ugh!
"Well then…...make me". he pulled out a pack of them, and then put one in his mouth where he lit it, i saw his chest rising as he breathed in, then pulled it out, blowing the smoke right in my face, he did it now.
"Ahh!"
"Omg!"
"Dude! total badass"!
I found myself staring at him in full rage mode, i couldn't stop my heavy breathing, my face felt hot and was probably even redder than a chili pepper, my fists wouldn't unlock so they just stayed like that, even Paul…..looked shocked, his head stayed swiped to the other side with a red mark, courtesy of my fist, on his cheek.
Without even thinking i just grabbed the entire packet out of his hand and took each cigarrette out then ripped them in half, one by one right in front of his face. I was serious, more serious than anything in the world, i pointed straight at him without even batting an eyelash, "Don't. ever. smoke. again".
He stayed quiet, his eyes were still opened wide yet that was all he was doing, shit…...omg omg is he plotting my death? Gah!
"Alright….fine…." i looked at him dumbfounded, wait what?
He rolled his eyes, "I won't ever smoke again". did he really just…..give in that easily? What's wrong with him?!
I turned and looked at the ground, why is he like this? what's going on? is he like setting me up for something big?
"Hey…." i spun around only to be hit in the face by my bag which contained all my clothes, He stared at me as he slammed the door to his trunk shut, "Get in the car and change….i'm not going to be walking near you if you have that ugly waitress outfit on". i frowned, like i care what he thinks about my outfit.
"And just where do you expect me to change?" i placed my hands on my hip staring him down sternly, he pointed straight at his car, yeah….he's nuts.
"The windows are tinted so nobody will even be able to see anything let alone tell that someone is in there, so hurry up, i'm starving already and you're wasting time".
I stuck out my tongue at him, "Gee…...for a guy you sure are bossy". I scooted into the back seat of the car and quickly changed, then checked in the rear view mirror to see if my hair was still ok, and of course, like always, it was.
I could hear his voice, he didn't sound too pleased, "Are you almost done"? Gosh what is it with him?!
I opened the door and stepped out, "There, happy!" i rolled my eyes and sighed roughly as i crossed my arms, someone take me from this dreading moment, please!
"Damn…." my eyes glanced over to the red headed male who walked by, making full eye contact with me and giving me a charming smile, he then bumped into a pole…..knocking himself out….ouch.
Paul scoffed, "That idiot…."
My stomach rumbled, i patted both my hands over it and tried to stop it but i could tell Paul was just staring down at me, we looked at each other and then at my stomach.
"C'mon...let's get you something to eat". i nodded, lunch with Paul…...doesn't seem so fabulous or healthy.
It only got worse when i started noticing the many looks people were giving us on the street, girls whispered as they glared at me, guys whispered as they glared at Paul, but he seemed so calm, like always, then there were the many looks of infatuation they gave us.
"Wow...like they are such a good looking couple!"
"I know right? I'm so jealous!"
"Why can't that be me!"
"Damn….that's one lucky guy".
(Paul's POV)
I just want to punch everyone, the more i keep hearing them whisper and talk about troublesome and i, the more it makes me furious, can people really be this stupid to just be gossiping about two random people on the street?
Before i could even recognize, i had barely remembered that i was still dressed in my suit, so i guess it was still a bit eye catching, but i'm pretty sure it mostly had to do with the fact that Dawn is always wearing those little eye candy outfits, does she even realize that she's practically throwing herself out there like jailbait, that idiot girl, skirts were always her thing, and i guess i can't lie and deny the fact that i enjoy it, she does look hot in them….what the hell are you saying?! That's troublesome you're talking about here, snap out of it Paul!
I shoved my hands into my pockets and quickly glanced over to her, she seemed to be deep in thought about something, wonder what it is, i still don't know why i decided to bring her out, but then again, i don't need a reason, i could do whatever i want, i practically run this city with my gang, i don't need reasons or excuses let alone give any of them to people.
And of course….one last thing, i stopped and looked back at the shadows that were reflecting through the alley way, we were being followed this entire time, now i just need to know by who, shit, i shouldn't have brought her here, the strip is practically gangster territory, the only problem is you never know who the criminal in this place is, even the most ordinary people could turn out being a thug.
"Paul….."
I shook my head and looked over at Dawn who stared up at with a dainty look, i felt my face heating up, why the hell is she giving me that look? She's a devil, and i only remember that look when she wants something.
"What". i furrowed my brows at her, but that fragile little look wouldn't go away.
"Since you pretty much kidnapped me can we get some ice cream"?
"I thought you were hungry". Kidnapp? what the hell's she talking about, i nearly saved her from work that's all.
"Well now i want ice cream". I sighed, there's no point in trying to start an argument with her, "Fine, there should be an ice cream shop somewhere around here".
"I know where there's one, it's just near the ice rink, let's go"! she grabbed my hand and i felt this sudden shock, waves of spine tingling senses kept running up and down all over my body, she must have felt it too because she immediately released my hand and looked down at her own, then up at me.
I don't know if it was just me or i was imagining it but her cheeks all of sudden turned bright red, she spun back around though before i could really tell, "Follow me, the shop isn't too far".
(Third person POV)
They walked several blocks before reaching the ice rink, the place it was located at looked like wonderland, the trees were fake but looked so real and were painted white and frosted with gold leaves, lights hung everywhere, people were laughing and smiling as they skated on the ice, while others were seated on the benches and tables eating and enjoying themselves.
They stopped midway, Paul pointed to the empty bench just behind them, "Wait here while i go get the ice cream". he walked off leaving her a bit confused, "Wait Paul, you didn't even ask what flavor i wanted!"
He stopped and looked back at her with a small grin, "I didn't need to". he continued making his way to the line while she took a seat on the bench.
"He….he still remembers? After all these years"? she looked taken aback, covering her mouth with her hand.
She shook her head, *Maybe it's just a coincidence, besides vanilla is a popular flavor". she continued staring at the ground tracing her pink heels on the ground as she sighed and waited for the purple haired teen to return.
"Excuse me….." She lifted her head slightly in order to see who was standing in front of her now, it was a male, he had neck length blonde hair that seemed to be spiked in the back and longer form the front, he wore a black sleeveless jacket with a hoodie and black shirt, black shoes, and black pants with chains hanging from it, she looked at all the tattoos that were on his arms and hands and then noticed his blue eyes were staring down at her, he seemed really surprised by her looks and seemed clueless to his now blushing face.
"Yes? Can i help you"? she tilted her head, only making it harder for the young man to concentrate.
"Wow…...you're beautiful". he seemed speechless right when she stood up from the bench.
"Thank you, but is there something you needed"? she asked once more, quirking her brow in curiosity now.
He shook his head, "Ii was just wondering if you were here by yourself, i couldn't help but notice you sitting here alone, are you waiting for your boyfriend"?
She giggled, "No, i don't have one, i'm just waiting on a…...um…...friend i guess you can say".
His lips had curved into a smile, "Well, my names Volkner".
"I'm Dawn, nice to meet you". she smiled back, he seemed more infatuated by her charming smile.
"Well, i don't know if it's too much but i was hoping to see if you would want to go out on a date with me"?
She stayed quiet, but then nodded at his response, "Sounds like fun".
"Great, can i get your number"? She pulled out her phone giving her number to him, he smiled down at it and then at her, "I'll be looking forward to it then, Bye Dawn". he grabbed her hand, kissing it slowly and then grinning up at her devilishly, her cheeks turned pink.
She continued watching his every move and stopped when he had gotten on top of a very luxurious motorcycle, Yellow and black, riding off and leaving a trail of love stricken girls.
"Wow….." she breathed out, her face had that enchanted look now as she continued staring at the spot where he took off from.
"What's with the face"? She shook her head and saw Paul standing beside her, holding a cup of vanilla ice cream, he handed it to her now taking a seat next to the bluenette.
"Nothing…" she took a bite of her ice cream and squealed from the taste, "It's so delicious!"
"It should be, it's the best ice cream in the region".
"Paul you should try it, here!" She scooped some onto her spoon and held it towards his mouth, he looked at it, then at her, she didn't seem the least bit off about it but instead kept smiling, he chuckled and took a bite.
"It is good".
"See? I told you".
"Troublesome…"
"Yeah?" She kept the spoon in her mouth and looked over at him.
He grabbed her chin and pulled it in towards him, he leaned over, leaving the bluenette frozen and surprised as her eyes shot open.
OK! so there you have it! i hope you enjoyed it and i'm glad to be able to have brought you another chapter, so please let me know what you thought about it, and on another note i'm not sure if someone started an anti thing against my stories but lately i have been getting private messages from people bashing on them and all i have to say is, if you have nothing nice to say then don't say nothing at all, yes yes i understand freedom of speech blah blah blah but i don't tolerate bullying and what you send me is what i consider to be bullying and harassment, i appreciate it if it is to give me some minor pointers or tips on my stories but if it's not that then don't bother writing to me at all, i will not put up with it. Anyways! back to my lovely and supportive fans, i really want to thank you all for all your awesome support on my stories, i cannot put an official date for the next chapter but what i can say is that i am currently working on the next one at this moment. So with that said, i hope you enjoyed it and until next time.
To Kyubeh: Yes i appreciate all your tips and stuff but dude or dudette you need to tone it down, whoever said i was making fun of bullying? That shit isn't funny and i won't tolerate it no matter where i see it, so i have no idea where you got the assumption that i was making fun of bullying from, as for your whole problem about my author notes? All i gotta say is deal with it, it's a story, i write these as a hobby and they are what help me relax when i'm in tough situations, not everyone's stories have to be the same exact way, if i want to talk about imaginary people or talk about leaving an exit then i will, but thanks again for your tips, very appreciating and lovely of you.
