One more night//Braddison

chapter 13

I lie in my bed continuing to cry, as I have been for the past couple days. My mom comes in makes me tea and rubs my back while I wait for Dixie to come in. She runs in with starbucks in her hand and I can see vodka in her pocket

"here" she says passing me the iced coffee. I take it and sip the cold drink. "babe you should not be this upset over something so stupid. Bryce is a dick and of course he would pick Elle that is his girlfriend" She says lying down beside me

"but he was my bestfriend, and after everything we have been through for Dylan just to come in and for me to say I would choose him" I say in between sobs "stop it!" Dixie yells, and I look at her stunned

"Dylan was nervous that you and Bryce were still in love, and seeing from this reaction is that the case?" she asks me looking at me with wide eyes "no" I say wiping my nose

"I said I would choose Dylan over Bryce so does that prove I'm not still in love with him?" I ask "yes but why are you so upset if Dylan is the one you would choose anyways?" Dixie asks

"I would act the same if it were Jaden, or any of the other boys" I say "I get it. those boys are family" Dixie says holding onto my hand

I nod. "well you have Dylan, and Bryce isn't worth it if after everything you have been through he is just going to end the friendship like that" she says reassuring me

I eye the bottle in her pants pocket and she whips it out taking the first sip squinting her and sticking out her tongue from the taste. I take the next sip, more like gulp making Dixie laugh

She puts the bottle back into the pocket before lying back down beside me and whispering in my ear "you need to get up and stop being a bum" I laugh as I start to get up

I put on a pair of black track pants and a blue crewneck. I brush my hair and put it into a bun, adding some mascara to my eyelashes. 

"there you go" Dixie says standing at my door way with my iced coffe. I grab it from her before we walk to the kitchen "we're going out" I say to my mom and she smiles

I can see her mouth the words "thank you" to Dixie and Dixie smiles and gives a thumbs up before following me out the door

I get inside the passengers seat and Dixie looks at me "Dylan's?" she asks and I give a light nod putting my seatbelt on. 

Dixie drives me to Dylan's and I knock at his door revealing a brunette girl opening up the door. I stare at her then look back at Dixie who is reversing her car back to Dylan's as she sees the girl. 

"uh hi" I say "uhm hi" she says confused "I'm looking for Dylan, is he here?" I ask "um who are you?" she says 

"I'm looking for Dylan" I say getting upset "who's here?" I hear Dylan's voice wandering down the hallway and soon enough shirtless Dylan appears in the doorway

"Addison" he says surprised "hi" I say tears starting to prickle in my eyes but I hold them back "I just wanted to stop by but I didn't realize you had company" I say trying to sound as non bitchy as I possibly could

"I'll catch you later" I say walking away from his porch "wait Addison why don't you come in?" he asks "no I can't. I just wanted to come by because I think I left my sweater. Me and dix have plans" I lie pointing at the car 

"want me to get your sweater?" he asks "no it's good, I can get it tomorrow" I smile walking to the car 

"ouch" Dixie says starting to drive away "who the hell was that?" she asks "don't know don't care" I say taking the bottle from her pocket, finishing it.
