Daryn seethed silently but didn't push her any further. She stayed silent as well. When she stopped at the front door of the college he turned to her again. "Thanks for the lift Princess." He said fondly and opened the door, but before he left, he leaned over and kissed her cheek. It was something he used to do as a kid too. He hopped out then, shut the door and swaggered lazily up the steps and through the doors.
He felt like he was in some strange time warp, where everything went in slow motion. Walking into his first class, he sat down at a keyboard and sat motionless for a long while. Finally a friend of his wandered over and smacked the keys. Daryn snapped to attention. His buddy grinned. "Hey man! What's got you lookin so bummed?"
Daryn gave him a look and didn't say anything. Instead, he placed his hands over the keyboard and began playing and singing one of his favorite songs, Mad World, by Gary Joules. ((Amazing song, have you heard it??))

[lol yup! I likes it too. Out of curiosity what times of the day do you get ons? ]
It had been a long while since she was called princess. Gabriella almost broke into to tears when he had kissed her cheek but she pulled herself together and went to park. Her mind was filled with wanting to know what got him in that mood...
Setting up her station at the college fair had been a blur. No one had bothered her and she was used to it. Her job wasn't fun for her anymore. It was stressing. Gabriella wanted to be alot of things growing up. She wanted to be an artest and actress a dancer. But she remembered having the most fun with singing.
As she sat in front of her canvas, surrounded by her designs and clothing, a memory came to mind.
She had to be at least fifteen or fourteen. Her and vamp sitting at the piano in the music room at school. He was helping her get ready to try out for the musical. Though the song she was singing was a blur, she remembered the look on vamps face. It was one of the few times she thought he had feelings for her as more then a bestfriend. She always soaked those moments in like a drug....
Gabriella got to her artwork, painting a dress out. Her mind was busy trying to remember the name of the song she had been singing..
"Hey babe!" Jason came strutting around her stuff, not looking, or really caring about any of it. The jolt had frightened her out of her thoughts as she turned to see him. He didn't look mad, which meant he wanted something.
"Hey.." she put her paints down and looked at him. He was an attractive guy. Not always sweet.but had his moments.. Took care of her. But tended to forget the little things. But who's perfect? "Whered you go last night. I thought you were going to come b-"
Jason rolled his eyes and got closer to her. " Does it matter?.." he wrapped his arms around her smoothly. "Explain to me why you have to go to your mothers again?" he leaned down and kissed her cheek.
Gabriella sighed, wanting to know why he hadn't come back but ignored it for now. " I havn't spent alot of time with my family. I'm out of college now and I wanna see my -" yet again she was cut off.
"You can see them some other time. " he leaned over to whisper in her ear. "You should come spend the night at my place tonight.." he went to kiss her neck.
"Jason!" she pushed him back a little. She knew what his place meant. That wasn't going to fly. Not that she wasn't ready for sex..or. Was she ? She didn't know and he was making her uncomfortable. Plus the irritation on her face "Not in public. she stopped him before he interupted her. "Injust lost my friend..i'm not in the mood.."
Jason never took rejection well. He stood there giving her the look. "Gabriella. Your my fiance. Your supposed to spend time with me..don't you think your being selfish?"
Gabriella picked her paints up. "I"m trying to work..." she tried to go back to work, but he just kept giving her the look. She placed the flyers out for students interested in her work. "Your making a scene.."
Jason was like a child, he would throw tantrums. If it hadn't been for the eye candy of college girls he would of made a scene. " You need to remember your going to be my wife. Not some girl who can do whatever the hell she wants..."
[yea. I know. He's a jerk lol]

((Lol, he really is. I'd kick his a**. xd As for times, I'm on fairly randomly to be honest. I've been running around a lot lately so I haven't been on as much. Oh! And next Monday I'm starting a new job, but I'll try to post as often as possible!))
Daryn still looked gloomy as class started. He let his mind wander as the teacher droned on. He sunk into another memory.
In this one, he was helping Princess try out for the school musical. She had a beautiful voice. He had always liked her before that, but that was when he actually fell in love with her. He even remembered the song. Mad World.
He sighed and left to go to the water fountain. On his way, he came upon the scene of Gabriella and her lovely fiance. Ducking behind a wall, he eavesdropped on the conversation. He hated what he heard. The jack@$$ interrupted her and he never even mentioned her artwork, which he thought was pretty cool as a side thought.
Then he heard the jock mention staying at his place. His body went cold. Had she slept with him?! He could barely wrap his head around it before she pushed him away and he began to act like a spoiled brat. His fist tightened but he someone suddenly talked to him. "Oh Daryn! I heard your concerto the other day. it was amazing!"Some girl said to him as she walked past.
He was boggled for only a moment before answering in a mumble. No sense hiding now.
He planted a smirk on his face and swaggered past, giving the girl a wave. He nodded to Princess and Jock face. "Hey there." He said in a cocky voice, but also winked at her, hoping to stir up some trouble and just maybe, be able to deck the guy.

Gabriella had continued fighting with Jason ; "Jason..stop" he had been giving her a guilt trip. She turned to him ready to just flip " Jason you n-" she got cut off again, but this time it wasn't by Jason.
It was Daryn. Suprise Surpirse. Princess' head was pounding and she just wanted to leave and get a massage and sleep on the couch in front of the window like when she was a kid. But no. Her Fiance had to be an a$$ and get all macho on the situtaion. She gave Vamp a little wave and sighed.
Jason put his hand on Gabriellas shoulder while she painted. "Hello there..uh. Sorry forgot your name. Was it Dic-" Before he finished she glared at him.
"It's Daryn." She snapped. She was really getting sick of him at the moment. She had gotten drunk so she couldn't remember crying and he wasn't there to soothe her. But what was she to do...just suck it up.
"My bad.." he chuckled a hint of irritation, his hand tightenedon her shoulder ever so slightly.

Daryn had to chuckle. "Did you think of that insult just for me? Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule just to do that. Really, I'm touched." He said and leaned carefully against the table, crossing his arms in a cool laziness that would cheese off anyone. He watched as Jason's hand tightened on Gabriella's shoulder.
"You know, if you hurt her shoulder she can't paint. if she can't paint then you can't leech off her money and go drinking." He pointed out in a tone of irritating politeness.

Jason did a jerky move. "Last time I checked she was working for my father. Not the other way around..." His phone buzzed off in his pocket. It was one of his teammates. Gabriella looked like she had been slapped in the face. "I've gotta go." Too make things worse he kissed her on the mouth and walked away.
Gabriella just sat there stairing at her canvase. She inhaled and then closed her eyes for a split second. "Go ahead..and say it" she didn't even look at him. "I know..it sounds shallow. But it's not what you think..." she praticly had tears in her eyes.

Daryn glared after the jerk off and then turned to his princess. He straightened, careful not to bump the table, and walked to her side. "I'm not saying anything about that." He stared at her lips, wishing he could wipe away the foulness her fiance had left.
"You need to get away from him though. And I don't mean forever. Who you marry.... is your business. But I mean like on a trip, like the one we did in grade ten." He smiled fondly at the memory. His father had invited her and her mother along for a camping trip. Two weeks long in the mountains. It had been fun. They had gone canoeing, him capsizing her. They had gone hiking, swimming, sight seeing. He even convinced her to sneak off when his dad mentioned fishing.
He looked at her with a slightly sad expression but immediately put the smile back on his handsome face.

"And where do you intend I go?..It's not like I can just run off to some magical place " Sh elooked up at him. Her red hair fell in her blue eyes a little. She but her lower then looked at her canvase again. " It's not as easy as that..the best I have is my moms house while she goes to aunt Stacy's. He won't step into my mothers house. It's too..common for him" she rolled her eyes.
Jason was soo the opositte of princess and not in the good way. She put her paints down and hugged herself with her arms. Her mind was in a sorrow mood and she remembered the cryshing words Daryn had told her after there last real fight.
She had caught him kissing another girl and she had gotten jealous. They weren't dating but it crushed her. She couldn't understand why he never looked at her the way she wanted him too. So they had faught over stupid things because of her. Just picking fights. He had told her that she deserved a snotty prince because she had been a bratty princess. But with a few choice words, and she had walked out..
The memory faded when she opened her eyes. "You said it yourself. This is the way it's supposed to be.." she muttered and got up to clean some of her stuff up.

Daryn's face hardened, but underneath he hurt at her remark.
"You can't honestly hold that over my head! That was years ago." He snapped and placed a hand on her shoulder. His green eyes blazed as he spun her to face him. "Just here me out ok? We can tell King Jockstrap that you're going to be at your mom's house for three days. It's not exactly a lie. You are going to your mom's house." He said with a mischievous smirk forming on his lips. His grip on her was gentle and as his smirk fully formed, he plunked his forehead on hers, an impish glint causing his eyes to light up.
"Please? I promise you that I'll behave myself as far as you two are concerned. I just want to hang out with you like we used to."

Gabriella could hold that over him. She would too. He had crushed her heart. She felt like he had hated her for years...
She scoweld at him..playfully. That smirk of his always got to her. It worked on her when she twelve, it still worked on her now ten years later. Her blue eyes were gently compared to his green. "Why don't i believe you...i planned on staying there a week. Not three days..." she pulled away a little. She was afraid of getting close to people. She knew it was him. But her heart had been messed with for so long...she couldn't trust herself.

"Then we'll go for a week. Just as friends. And if I get out of hand then you can have a revenge shot." He said, still smiling. He would be true to his word, otherwise she would reject him and walk out of his life forever. He half choked on that thought and he made a weird expression before composing himself.
"We can go to the cabin we stayed in before. Separate rooms and everything. Unless you'd prefer we share." He teased, now grinning at her goofily.
"So how about it? Pleeeaaase?" He gave her the puppy eyes again and made himself appear as pitiful as possible.

"You are such a child.." she rolled her eyes. He was older then her. So it was wierd, her acting older. She looked around then to him. "What are you going to do about classes...?" She thought about her work. She'd be fine. It would be keeping Jason at bay that would be a problem. She was a horrible lier.
She couldn't stare at him much longer. "Okay, fine! You owe me a back rub though." She muttered and sipped her splenda filled coffee.

Daryn looked at the coffee and grimaced, but answered. "I'm ahead. I'll just submit the songs I wrote and that should hold me over. No major tests coming up so it's good." She relented but when she commented on the back rub, he pretended to look gipped.
"What! You mean I have to put in slave labor!? Aww..." He made the emo tear gesture but quickly smiled again. "One condition. I get to write a script for you to tell King King Jockstrap. You're lying skills leave something to be desired."
He moved to help her clean up her stuff as he said this. He then started to softly sing "Hallelujah" by Rufus Wainwright. He paused briefly to say, "Sing with me princess." It was a cheery tone. He was glad to be able to spend just one last private time with her before she was gone forever, but he was also sad at the fact. So much his eyes looked glassy from tearing up.

Gabriella laughed when he started singing. She cleaned up her stuff, putting her artwork away. She only agree'd to this because she knew she was going to miss him. In her heart she didn't want to remember them fighting.
But when she turned around to sing with him she stopped. At the angle she saw him she could see his eyes. "Why do vampires cry?" she whispered. She said the same thing when they were kids.

Daryn stopped and looked a bit surprised that she had caught him, but he quickly composed himself. "Because garlic hurts their feelings." He replied in a lame fashion and instead of grinning at her like normal, he turned his face away and moved to put together some of her other pictures.
He was angry. Angry at himself, for letting her see him like this. But most of all, he was angry at how stupid he had been to let her go. He tried to change the subject. "So I think we can fool jock boy pretty easily. Unfortunately you'll have to call him once a day so he doesn't kill you afterwards for not being obedient." His face twisted as he said it.
