Still Can't Get Over You

Chapter 11

The Following Day, Shannon's House;

Corey's POV;

For the whole day Dylan had hidden in her room; refusing to see or talk to anyone other than me, or Carmine. It was more than obvious that she was embarrassed about what had gone down the previous night and she was severely hung over.

About an hour and a half ago, I had been lying on her bed watching her as she rambled about what a fool she had made of herself until she seemingly snapped out of it and got up, changed and decided that she was going for a run alone.

Shannon had helped her climb over the back wall of his home so that she didn't have to deal with the paparrazi that had refused to leave the front of my best friend's brother's home. So Dylan had pulled on a wig and a pair of black shades and off she went alone with Oz; Shannon's pit bull.

Jeff and Beth had been by early in the day but when Dylan had refused to leave her room, they had left pretty quickly. Beth had just wanted to come in to say bye to Dylan and H before she left. Apparently from what H told us; Beth was heading out to LA to help her sister out who was pregnant and nearing her due date.

The minute they had left had been when Dylan decided that she was going for her run, so I had left her alone to get changed and just as she had disappeared over the back of the wall my phone had rung.

It turned out that the committee working the reunion that my best friend was attending in a couple of days time needed a favor from me and my band. The band that they had hired had cancelled at the very last minute so they were stuck in a bind, so they had called my management company saying that they knew I was in town with half of the band and they wanted me to do it.

So the minute that I had seen Dylan clearing the wall, I had rounded everyone up and hoped against hope that we could come up with something because there was absolutely no way that I was doing those people a favor especially after all that they had done to my best friend.

"...dude it is going to be awesome; I just wish that we could be there to see it," Matt announced once we had all agreed on a plan.

"Well you know that I could easily make it happen," I chuckled softly. "I mean I have the feeling that they are willing to do anything that they can to ensure that they get us so I think that no matter what I ask for I am gonna get it," I smiled happy in the knowledge of the plan that we had come up with.

"All right well I am in," Matt announced clearly happy to be helping out his old friend.

"Guys?" I looked at Shannon, Claire, and Jeff who had come back to the house alone. After spending the majority of the past hour talking to him, I could clearly see that he was a nice guy who was just going through a tough time, it wasn't like he was out to intentionally cause problems.

Everyone nodded and I smiled as I picked up my phone and dialed the number to our manager and informed him that the band were willing on doing the gig but there were a few demands that we wanted to be met before anything was set in stone.

A couple of hours later;
Dylan's POV;

I had been absolutely mortified this morning when I had woken up. Little snippets of what I had done the previous night seemed to flash in my minds eye; telling me that I had made nothing but a complete fool of myself.

It took me the better part of the day to even just venture out of the bedroom but then I went for this run and I felt more alive and refreshed to the point where I didn't care what any of my old friends thought about my behaviour last night because it wasn't like none of them had ever been drunk.
