The Winter Showcase ~ Dana Vaughns Fanfic (IM5)

Into the Night

Justine's POV

"Beyonce." Dana says. "Mariah Carey!" Cole argues. We just finished our food and we're deciding who's better: Beyonce or Mariah Carey. I don't even know how this conversation came up. "Beyonce performs better than Mariah!" Dalton says to Cole. I sit upside down on the couch while Gabe sits on the floor with his back against the couch, Will is sitting comfortably next to me, Dana is sitting sideways in the lounge chair, Dalton is sitting criss crossed on the floor, and Cole is sprawled out on the floor. "Ermm, Imma go with Mariah too," Will says. I reply, "I'd say Beyonce doe." "Yeah, me too." Gabe agrees. Dalton raises his arms in victory. Dana says, "Hah!! Beyonce wins!" "You gotta love Beyonce.." Gabe says. 

"Justin Bieber or One Direction?" Gabe asks. "Justin all the way." I reply. "You would like that, wouldn't you?" Dalton smirks at me. Everyone laughs. "Justin's so se-cute..." I say with smile, realizing I almost said sexy. Gabe laughs and puts his hands behind his head. "Shut up Gabe," I reply, still smiling. "What happened?" Dana asks. "Justine has bieber fever," Will says and laughs. Gabe laughs louder, "She was like Justin's so se-cute..." Cole and Dalton start laughing their heads off. I groan. "Whatever!" I reply and throw a pillow at Colton. I sit myself upright and I notice Dana smiling at me. I smile back. "It's weird how you guys have the same names: Justin and Justine," Will says. "Oh my god! That's so creepy!" Cole exclaims. Everyone laughs again. "Imma start using se-cute now," Gabe says and smiles at me. "Me too!" Dana laughs.

After a few hours, we all decided to go home. "My mom wants me to go home," Gabe says while getting up. "Me too. I get some homework," Cole says. Will and Dalton say the same thing. The boys say bye to us and leaving Dana and me alone. "You think Bieber's sexy, huh?" Dana says to me and smiles. "He's very sexy," I reply and laugh. Dana jumps on the couch, sitting next to me. "Whoa, I'm more sexy than Justin!" Dana exclaims to me. I smirk at him, "Naww." Dana stands up and lifts up his shirt, revealing a six-pack. Oh crap.... I look at him with wide eyes. Who knew he had a six pack under his clothes. I hear the front door open and close. "Dana, what are you doing?" I hear a voice say behind me. I turn around and see Dana's mom. "Hi Joni.." I say awkwardly. Joni smiles at me, "Hi hun." Then, she looks at Dana with a stern look, "Dana, why are you lifting up your shirt in front of Justine?" Dana puts his shirt down, "I was proving to her that I'm sexier than Justin Bieber." Joni laughs, "Dana, no one is sexier than Justin Bieber." I laugh and Dana pouts. Joni leaves to go into the kitchen, but says, "For a moment, I thought you guys were gonna ma-" "MOM!" Dana interrupts, blushing. I get up and grab my backpack, "I have to get home. It's getting late." I walk to the front door and Dana follows. "Wanna walk to school tomorrow morning?" Dana asks me. "Sure. Don't we always do that?" I reply with rised eyebrows. Dana smiles, "Yeah, I just wanted to make sure." I nod, "Okay, see you in the morning." I start to walk down the steps, but Dana says wait. I turn around and Dana comes up to me, He kisses me on the corner of my lips and whispers in my ear, "See you tomorrow." He turns around and walks back into his house, leaving me shocked. I shake my head and walk to my house, next door. Dana will never like me....

Dana's POV

I walk back inside the house, leaving Justine shocked. I close the front door behind me and lean back against it and sigh. "Seems like someone is lovestruck." I hear my mom say from the kitchen. It's weird how she knows everything. "You have no idea," I say as I enter into the kitchen and sit on the countertop besides the stove. "Why don't you ask her out, babe?" My mom asks while washing the dishes. I reply, "I can't. We've been best friends for too long." "Dana, you never know unless you try." She replies. Does Justine like me? "Justine's a very pretty girl, Dana. Someone might snatch her up before you do," my mom says. I sigh. I walk upstairs to my room and collaspe on my bed. I need to text Gabe. He has a girlfriend.

~Text Conversation~

D: Gabe.

G: And that's my name.

D: Who was Justine texting today?

G: Why....

D: Just tell me!

G: Jason

I sigh when I read the text. 

D: About...

G: You ;)

D: Why me?

G: Because you guys like each other <3

D: I do but she doesn't

G: Dude, you just gotta believe

D: I can't believe what ain't true 

G: What I am telling is true. Man, you gotta tell her how you feel or else it may be too late. 

I put down my phone and groan into my pillow. Why must love be so complicated? I take a shower to clear my mind. As I'm putting on some clothes to sleep in, I hear someone singing. I look through my balcony and see Justine in her room, doing homework and singing.

And it's crazy to me, I even see you in my dreams.

Is it meant to be? Could this be happening to me?

I look at her in awe. Her voice is just perfect. I'm falling for her hard. 

Justine's POV

I put on pajamas and brush my wet hair. I sit criss cross on my bed and work on some math problems. As I'm doing my homework, I sing quietly to myself.

The sun comes up on another morning.

My mind never wakes up without you on it.

And it's crazy to me, I even see you in my dreams.

Is it meant to be? Could this be happening to me?

Once I'm finished with my homework, I turn off the lights and the moonlight shines in my room. Immediately, I think about Dana. I lay in my bed for what seems like hours. It's already 11 o'clock and I can't sleep. I get out of my bed and go out onto my balcony. I look at Dana's room and I see some movement. I get a pebble from the plant on the side and throw it at Dana's balcony doors. After a few seconds, Dana walks onto his balcony, wearing a tank top and basketball shorts. He has some nice musles. "Yes?" Dana asks me and leans against his railing. "I can't sleep," I reply. "Hold on." Dana says. He climbs over the railing and onto the tree branch between our balcony. He then grabs a hold of my railing and jumps onto my balcony. He grabs my hand and brings me into my room. Dana shuts the doors behind us and we climb into my bed.

I lay my head on his chest as he wraps his arms around me. We just stay in that position for what seems like forever until one of us falls asleep. I close my eyes, listening to Dana's heartbeat. Dana kisses my forehead and says, "If only you knew what I feel about you." I don't reply and start to drift off into sleep.
