Us? Together?

Mom

Symphony's POV

"Heard about Dalton?", Candy asked as we walked through the halls and my heart started racing- why? What happened?! "His father is in jail for abusing his mother. Dalton beat the living crap out of him before the cops came. His mother is in the hospital, but she'll be fine"

"How do you know everything?", NaTasha raised her eyebrows

"I am the network of gossip sweetie", she replied with a smirked then looked at me "he probably skipped school to be with his mom"

"Why are you tell me this?", I frowned entering our class

"I don't know.... Because um", Candy mumbled then looked at her sister for help

"Because you like him, although it still hurts you do like him", she spoke taking out her book and I looked at her shocked "you also care for him, I bet you even noticed that he wasn't here today"

"Wha- what?! I don't care for him nor do I like him", I argued looking down at my desk "he doesn't like me either.....". A few seconds passed and NaTasha yanked my arm to make me look at her. She had the most serious and slightly angry face

"You know Cynthia was a real bitch for sending Brittany to go after Dalton. Dalton maybe a conceited, popular, smart mouth asshole, but for those five days he changed. He changed for you and he got close to you, I can tell. He showed you his soft, relaxed, sweet side and vice versa. He's nothing like that piece of shit Copeland, he didn't want to break your heart- that's the last thing he wanted to do. We see you both of you moping around, avoiding each other, and being out of character. So don't you dare say that you don't care for him and don't say that you don't like him, because we both know that's a fucking lie! You can either grow up, forgive him, and make out like crazy or keep acting like nothing happened and let your heart rot for what could've been!", NaTasha ranted lowly so no one else could hear, Candy and I looked at her surprised

"Alright! Class no talking!", our teacher yelled silencing the class and Tasha looked ahead like nothing happened as class started. I didn't really pay attention to the teacher, Tasha's words stuck with me and she was right. Yes, I really liked and really cared for Dalton, but I didn't want anyone to know that. I also wanted to see him and kiss him a hundred times, but I didn't want everyone to know that. My heart didn't know it was young and stupid when we met Copeland, it was only doing it's job- to like.... To love. My brain got in the way of what my heart says now and it really wants to be Dalton. All this doubt in my mind keeps me for building up the courage to speak, and if I don't hurry.... He won't take me back......

"Finally school is over!", Candy asked as we walked to my locker "so what's everyone doing for Christmas Break?"

"That huge project Mr. Ford assigned to us, he's such a terrible teacher", Tasha groaned and I smirked

"What about you?"

"My dad and Carrie are going to her parents house for Christmas, I think I'm gonna stay home....", I shrugs and they pouted "my dad did say I could invite a few friends to come with me to Hawaii, but I'm sure you guys will want to be with your families"

"What?!", Candy screamed up to the point that her voice was squeaking

"Woah, chill Maria Carey", Lane called landing his arm around her shoulder and kissed the side of her head "what's all this about?"

"I would love to go! And you birthday is in two week, let's go", Candy whined taking my hand

"I mean you have to ask your parents", I shrugged putting on my coat and hat- have to be warm and snug for that weather "it'll be for two weeks and we'll be back before Christmas"
