Summer nights (Cameron Dallas Fanfic)

∞ Chapter 8 ∞

Dana POV 

The car ride back to my house was short. Days and I had small talk about how fun today was, and how we should do it again. During the entire car ride, I was texting taylor. He programed himself in my phone as “bandana Man” which was pretty accurate.

Days finally pulled up to my house. She parked the car out front, with Veronica parking right behind her. All of us got out of the cars.

“You see that house right in the middle?” Days asked

“Yeah i see it” i said

“Thats where i live. And if you look down the block, the very last house, thats veronicas house” she explained

“Jesus, i didn’t think you guys were THAT close” i said

“yup. Which means you get to see us every day.” Veronica said

“Well thats good!” i said

I felt my phone vibrate in my back pocket. It was a text from cameron.

Cameron: “Did you find your way home okay, or did you forget where you live? (;”

Dana: “Haha very funny. But days knows where i live, remember?” i replied

I must of been smiling at my phone, because days and veronica were asking me who i was texting.

“Just cameron, and Taylor”

“ohhhh, so whats going on between you and lover boy” days asked while raising her eyebrows

“nothing, were just friends. Welp I’m tired, I’m going inside bye guys. Ill text you guys when i wake up” i said while hugging them

I walked inside, and no one was up. I thought for sure my dad would be in the living room watching TV. I made my way upstairs. As soon as i was about to step into my room, my mom called me

“Dana is that you?”

“No mom, its the murder”

“Don’t be a ass. Do you realize the time?”

“Yeah ma, i do. I texted you, but why would you answer your phone.” i replied

“I just worry for your well being, that all honey.”

“Yeah, whatever i know. night”

I walked into my room, and sat on my bed. I pulled my phone out and started reading over the text messages

Taylor: "Please tell me why I can here Jack snoring from all the way down the hall”

Dana:” I don’t know man, but that sounds like a personal problem to me, lol”

then i read Cameron's text.

cameron:” oh right. You live right next to the beach, i basically know where you live”

Dana: “Wow cam, i haven't even known you for a whole day, and you’ve managed to stalk me. Nice”

I walked over to my bag, and pulled it out. luckily there was an outlet right next to my bed. I plugged it into the wall, then the wire into my phone. I walked into my closet to my suitcase. I pulled out a pair of my lacrosse sweats, and a gray tank top. I threw them on, before walking out. I walked over to my bed, and got under the covers. Thank god my phone wire was 10 ft, and reached all of my entire bed. I noticed days had put me and veronica into a group chat with her. i clicked onto the message and read

Days: GUYS, JACK INVITED ME TO HANG OUT WITH HIM AGAIN TOMORROW. 

Veronica: SHAWN INVITED ME TOO. MAYBE WE COULD DOUBLE DATE OR SOMETHING

Dana: MY LIFES A JOKE, NO ONE INVITED ME ANYWHERE

Days: You can come with us?

Dana: and be the awkward 5th wheel, no thanks. Id much rather sit home and redecorate my room

Then i clicked on Cameron's message

Cameron: Yeah, yeah yeah, what are you doing tomorrow?

Dana: going to the paint store, and redoing my new room, why?

Then i checked Taylor's message

Taylor: technically no, its going to be days’ problem, once they sleep in bed together, since you know, they had a thing today

Dana: LOL YEAH TRUE. AHAHAHAHAH

I was getting really sleepy. I ignored the girls group chat, and just answered cameron.

Cameron: Good, ill drive you to the paint store, and help you

Dana: What ever, ill text you when i wake up. Adios Cameron

Cameron: night beautiful.

Did he really just call me beautiful. He must be used to it since he calls his fans beautiful all the time. I turned my phone on silent. I laid in bed thinking about the day. I was tired, but for some reason i just couldn’t fall asleep. I couldn’t believe i broke down in front of Cameron like that. I never do that. Ever since Nikki, my guard had been up. I was afraid of letting people in. I couldn’t get hurt again. I couldn’t lose another person close to me. Losing her was enough for me. I coldly bare to go through it again. I decided it was time for me to sleep. I closed my eyes and drifted off into a sleep. 

“AW SWEET. Dana would you look at that wave coming in! its a beauty.” Nikki said 

“It sure is. Come on Nikki its all you! You got this” i encouraged her

“Im going for it”

She started paddling out. Once she was up, you could see the excitement on her face. She looked so carefree, so happy. She took a quick glance at me, and gave me a thumbs up. I gave her a encouraging one back. The next thing i know, Nikki is being whipped out, and her board came up from the wave

“NIKKI” I screamed

“NIKKI THIS ISNT FUNNY ANSWER ME” i said while swimming over to where her board was

I looked at the board. It was broken in half. One half was missing, and there was no Nikki in sight. I started panicking and crying

“NIKKI, PLEASE, ANSWER ME” i said between sobs

After about searching for her for 40 minutes. i gave up. I swam back to shore carrying her board. I ran up the beach back to our house. I ran into the house screaming.

“MOM, DAD, COME QUICK. HELP PLEASE” 

they ran down the stairs, and followed me out on to the beach. I started running back into the water until my parents called me

“DANA, WHAT HAPPENED ARE YOU ALRIGHT WHERES NIKKI?!” Mom asked

“She’s… she’s.. gone” i said while crying on her shoulder 

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHES GONE?!” dad screamed

“I MEAN SHE WAS KILLED DAD. IN A FUCKING WAVE. AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD OF DONE TO STOP HER. I FUCKING WATCHER HER DIE DAD” I screamed back

“Shh dana, its going to be okay. Charlie, go inside and get her a towel” 

“I DONT WANT A FUCKING TOWEL, I WANT NIKKI BACK” 

I sat up screaming. My forehead was wet from me screaming. I touched my cheek. I was crying. My mom came running in. She held me in her arms

“Did you have the nightmare again” she asked while holding me in her chest

I just cried while nodding my head. Ive been having nightmares about Nikki's death ever since it happened. And it usually happened every night. Some nights were better than others. After about 10 minutes or me crying, mom finally left. I laid back down and stared at the ceiling.
