Secrets and Lies (Dylan O'Brien fan fic)

Part 3

Holland comes through the door next and she greets me with a warm hug. "Hey Ava." She says waving at me with a small smile. I just wave back, still thinking about how horrible I probably look right now.

Tpose comes through next and he gives me a small kiss on the cheek and as he walks past I can smell his strong, lingering scent of sweet aftershave on his neck.

Crystal comes through last and she gives me a small hug and smiles at me brightly. "Hey babe, nice to see you." She squeals, hugging me again.

Once everyone is inside and sitting on the living room couch, I close the front door and walk over to them all.

"Uh so...um I just eh need to grab something from my room. You guys just pick a movie, I won't be a second." I say awkwardly, trying to stop myself from studdering. I turn around to head up the stairs until a sarcastic voice speaks up and I stop dead in my tracks and turn back around to where the voice is coming from.

"Going to put on actual clothes and look fairly presentable?" Asks Dylan, while gaving the biggest smirk on his face. My face goes a dark, rose red and I quickly search my brain for something clever and witty to say back, but my mind is blank and I can't think of anything to say. I quickly turn around and make a dash for the stairs, deciding to ignore Dylan is the best option. As I walk up the stairs I can hear the evil, yet adorable laugh of the "Oh so sarcastic Dylan" and I can hear Crystal and Lydia telling him to shut up.

Once I get up stairs to my room, I change over my pjs to a lose singet, a pair of ankle cut black jeans and I keep my fluffy socks on. I reapply my makeup, covering the horrid dark circles under my eyes and I let out my hair and let it hang lose against my back. I take once last glance in the mirror before heading back down stairs.

I jump on the grey, leather couch inbetween Dylan and Tposey and smile at Dylan sweetly and stubbournly. Out of the corner of my eye, just for a second I think I see Dylan genuinely smile and I can't help but feel good.

"So what movie did you guys pick?" I ask to no one in particular.

"Ask Dylan, he picked it." Says Chrystal placing her arm around Tposey and pecking her lips on his cheek. Tposey smiles and I slowly turn my head over to face Dylan.

Please don't say you picked a horror movie, I think to myself as Dylan's never shut mouth opens wider and he spills out the words I dread the most. "I picked the latest horror film." Dylan says and he gives me an adorable smile that makes me want to kis- What am I thinking? Dylan is mean!

I slump back into the couch and I sink in further as it starts to take the shape of my body. I sigh a bit too loud and tell myself it can't be that bad.

"Now Ava I know you get a bit scared of horror films, so if you get too scared you can snuggle up to me or if gets too much for your little self to handle , we can just turn it off." Dylan says and straight after he erupts into a wave of laughter. Tposey nudges me softly in the ribs and I make a pouty face at Dylan and he just laughs even harder.

All I can see is black darkness, smell Dylan's familliar smell of strawberries and hear the faint sound of music. "Ava the movie is over, did you see any of it?" Dylan asks me and I look up and notice the movie is over and I had my head buried deep in Dylan's chest. He lifts my fragile body off of him and I feel the coldness from where his body was pressed against mine. I catch eye contact with him and I've never noticed how gorgeously big and brown his eyes are until now. Suddenly he does something that I would have never expected, he starts leaning in.....Is he going to kiss me?

"Um...Holland, Tyler we better go!" Says Crystal, nodding slightly at them and her voice draws me out of my entrance and Dylan looks away with a smirk on his face. Before I can say another word, Holland, Crystal and Tposey have ran out the door with smug smiles on their faces.

"Well I better go too." Says Dylan and he gets up from the couch and heads towards the front door.

Just before he places his hands on the door handle I blurt out something that was buzzing around in my head, "Wait! Dylan please don't go!"

I watch as he turrns his body around and walks closer to me. "Why not?"

"Because um...eh...There's going to be a storm and I don't want you to um..ge-get wet by the rain!" I blurt out and cringe at the last part.

"You don't want me getting wet by the rain?" Dylan asks with a puzzled look on his face. "Ava I can handle a little rai-" Dylan begins to say but I cut him off.

"NO!" I practically scream.

Dylan smirks and says "I think you're just scared from the movie."

Crap! He's on to me.

Dylan starts tickling me and I errupt into a fit of laughter and start begging for mercy. "Just admit you're scared and I'll stay here with you for the night and stop tickling you."
