The Only Exception Chapter 28: "Happier"
Olivia Summers I watched there as Damon took care of his dad and tucked him in with a warm blanket, he kissed him in the forehead, "Goodnight dad." I never saw that gentle and warm side of him. It feels more like, it wasn't that I didn't see it, it was just that he purposely hid it from the world. But at the same it, it feels exactly like Damon. I've always seen it actually. That behind all that bravado, he's a good person. It was just that he was trying so hard not to be. Or maybe, I refused to see it. I refused to see any reason to like him because he... reminded me of myself. It was like looking into his eyes, I see myself. Abadoned and incomplete. I didn't want to see it because looking at him made me want to confront my demons and fears and I wasn't ready to do so. But then again, I don't think I'll ever be ready.

Damon Ashton "I think it's better if we leave them alone." I told Summer and she simply smiled, "You're right."We both left and sat at the hammock near the beach house, Summer broke our silence and asked awkwardly, "So... how are you?" "Not so well.""Right. Sorry that was a dumb question." She averted her gaze towards me, "I didn't love him because he's better than you nor because he's perfect in everyone's eyes, I just love him, that's that. Sorry for leaving you and hurting you like everyone did.""I'm sorry for saying that to you. I didn't mean to make you feel gulty." I looked at her once again, with those simply and messy hair, wearing a sleeveless flowy dress, "I know but I just didn't accepted it." I chuckled softly, "Olivia told me that it's all about finding someone worth the pain, I'm okay now and I want her to be too.""Olivia Summers seems like a nice girl.""Maybe it's a given to those who have Summer in their names." "Definitely." Summer laughed. "I hope you find pe

I finally saw Damon laugh for real without holding or hiding anything, I saw Dylan happy with Summer and with that peace of mind shows in his face.Truth be told, it made me a little envious and I felt a sharp sting in my heart. But also, it struck me. I finally made up my mind.After a few minutes, we cleaned the table where we ate and Summer and Dylan took care of the dishes. I changed into my pajamas and went outside to stroll for a while, suddenly Damon appeared in front of me, "Miss me?""Yeah, I was about to but if we weren't together just 5mins ago" I mocked"Aw, I'm touched. You just admitted you missed me.""I speak fluent sarcasm so if your tiny brain can't seem to grasp that," I continued, "I didn't miss you so please go away and let me have my peace for five minutes.""Never, part of the routine, anyways, where are you going?""At the convenience

I asked Dylan .He was with Summer on their way to swim at the beach, I guess, he answered, "She's changing, she's going to try surfing.""You should teach her, you're much better than I am at surfing." Summer added."Are you guys doing what I think you're doing?" I raised an eyebrow. Summer looked away and said, "No. What are you thinking?""You're a horrible liar, Summer." I snickered, "Stop setting us up. It won't happen.""Setting you with Olivia? Never! She's too good for you, brother, keep dreaming." Dylan scoffed."Ah, of course, my number hater.
