Dance in the Rain

D.I.T.R. - 18

We drove to Solo’s house that wasn’t too far away from our new house that we all pitched in to buy to accommodate my whole crew plus Jodie and Samson plus the baking bun (Jodie’s baby lol). Drake was silent the whole way there, only the music playing broke the silence. We arrived at Solo’s house and it looked pretty asleep, still. We let ourselves in and I searched the whole house for them before going into Lenny and Summer’s room. That’s where I found everyone, all of Justice Crew, sprawled out around the room.

Samson was stretching his arms, obviously just awoken. E-man was on the ground in a heap and it looked like he’d just fallen off,

“Hey guys, I was wondering where you went last night,” I laughed at everyone cramped into the room. I saw John’s sleeping form still on the bed and couldn’t resist my childish side and ran and jumped on him. He instantly woke up, winded from my weight.

“Hey, Dez, where’d you go?” I heard Drake ask from somewhere in the house. The whole room erupted into a chorus of ‘oooooh’ and I felt my face heat up. Little did they know... I thought to myself. Drake came into view in the open door when Samson was defending me,

“Leave her alone, guys; he’s part of her crew.” Good old big brother, “Hey Drake, how are ya, long time no see,” Samson greeted Drake with a friendly smile.

“Good actually,” Drake replied, “We recently convinced Courtney to move up here with us and she should be here somewhere,” Drake leaned back and looked right and left before shrugging and looking back to him. My phone started ringing and I looked at the caller ID. It was just a number that I didn’t recognise. That meat it was Hayden’s new one,

“Is it that prick?” I heard Samson ask coldly faintly. My body had frozen up and I shrugged trying to hide my fear but knew the insecurity and fear showed on my face. I saw Summer’s curious look from the corner of my eye, “Give me the phone, Dez,” Samson held out his hand for my phone which I quickly dropped it in his hand, the phone still ringing.

I didn’t hear what Samson said after he answered it with a, ‘What do you want asshole?’

I started to sob; I was really over Hayden now. All I really want is for him to leave me alone. I know he won’t do anything to me like hurt me but I’m not sure if he’ll give mercy to the close men in my life. He might consider them as a threat. Drake pulled me into his chest from behind and was whispering comforting nonsense in my ear that was working a little.

Summer hobbled over to me, her leg broken still from Eammon, and pulled me into a big hug. I buried my face in her shoulder and cried soaking the top she was wearing. She whispered that everything would be alright and rubbed my back comfortingly. I heard Samson shouting into the phone, telling Hayden to go back home and asking why he was here,

“Why did you have to become friends with this ass wipe Dez?” Samson growled at me.

I looked at the floor, sniffing at my runny nose, “I’m sorry because I really wanted to know what having a stalker is like. I think you’re forgetting I only knew him for a day.”

The sarcasm in my voice hit him like a bomb, “You know I didn’t mean it like that, Dez. I’m sorry, I know you don’t want Hayden following you like this and I shouldn’t have said anything.” Samson’s eyes held so many emotions: regret, sadness and love for me but I just couldn’t believe he’d said that. I stared at him blankly and turned on my heel, dragging Drake out with me. Courtney saw me rushing out of the house with puffy eyes and followed me to the car, slipping into the back without any sound.

I sat in the car, tears streaming down my face and sobs wrenching from my chest. Drake slid on the seat, getting closer to me and pulling me into his arms. He rubbed my back and kissed my cheek comfortingly. He didn’t know how much I wanted those kisses to be from affection and not comfort. He pulled me onto his lap and as soon as I was on it, I was off again but on the other side of him. He slide into the driver’s seat and pulled me into his side. He put the car in gear and we drove off to go back home, Samson can find his own bloody way back home.

Drake pulled into the driveway fifteen minutes later and by then, I’d settled down and gone back to normal. I sighed and jumped out of the car, Courtney pulled me into a hug as soon as I was standing,

“You know he’s just looking out for you, Dez. You, Callum and Jo are his only family now and I know for a fact that he’d die if something bad happened out of this.” Courtney was always the one to console in when you’re feeling down and always had good advice. That’s why she was one of my best friends in the world and nothing could separate us, not even a couple of years living in a different country didn’t lessen the love I felt for her, no one could replace her.
