The Stranger

A few months later...

A few months later...you and Dylan still aren't dating. Your eating your lunch right now, Dylan wraps his arm around your waist smiling he pulls out his phone out and starts to text you.

Dyl <3 :

D- Hey wanna do something later 

you-Sure what do you have planned

D- you'll see

Thomas interrupts ''hey Dylan what u so smiley about?'' his smile changed into a nervous frown '' uh, its just nothing bad has happened in a while I guess.'' You frown and think about your dreams and when you got knocked out, you grab Dylan's hand quickly and squeeze it. He signals you, out of the room for some space. You both walk out and talk about everything that happened lately. Suddenly you hear a bang on the door, you get the empty wine bottle and smash half of it to create something to defend yourself with. You point it towards the door and twist the lock , Dylan stands next to you to make sure nothing comes out at you. You quickly pull the door open and throw the glass out.....Suddenly you start to get dizzy and fall, Dylan catches you before you hit the ground almost passing out, he carries you to the bed and puts you down. He sits next to you, while all you do is sit there helpless, weak, confused. He asks ''Are you sick?'' you look at him to only see his beautiful brown eyes blurred, you sigh and say ''i do not know'' he feels your head and says ''your burning up'' Thomas and Alula are walking down the hall and run up to your door since they noticed the glass on the floor they see you and ask what happened. You stare and say nothing and out of a sudden stand up straight and say ''Its gone'' they turn and look confused you say ''its gone, the shadow its gone.'' Dylan sighs of relief and hugs you ,he whispers ''how do you know'' you whisper back '' I-I-I know who it is'' he pulls away and yells ''you didn't think of telling us?!'' you say ''I was scared I'' he interrupts and walks out carrying the last bottle of alcohol. Thomas frowns at you and follows Dylan. All that is left in the room is you and Alula, you form tears from your eyes and burst out crying and say ''ITS ALL MY FAULT , THIS IS ALL MY FAULT'' you drag stuff around the room and smash a vase while cupping your hands on your face in disappointment, Alula looks scared so you wipe your tears and say ''come here I am so sorry'' she sighs and says ''Ill go find Thomas and Dylan'' you feel another piece of your heart shatter and open the window for fresh air, you climb out and sit on the roof listening to the sound of the calm streets and birds. You start to hum an old song your parents used to sing when you were sad or Ill, you feel a warm hand on your shoulder and hoped it would be Dylan. You look behind you and say ''Hi'' Thomas replies ''hi'' you look at him and sigh. ''I'm going down for a drink'' he tries to stop you but you walk away. You hesitate to walk in the bar because you can hear his voice but its not his normal voice its filled with anger and hurt, you avoid going in there and walk towards the door with a can of beer. You walk outside and sit on the pavement for a while, When you turn around and see Dylan watching you in the window, you make eye contact and quickly stand up and walk to the park nearby the hotel, you sit on a swing alone, shivering, quiet, focused on the leaves blowing away and biting your nails while tapping your foot constantly on the floor, when you feel a warm embrace of hands its Dylan.......drunk Dylan. You sigh and pull his hands off you and say ''cmon bedtime'' he laughs while his feet tremble, he even manages to make you giggle. You get to the stairs and shout ''THOMAS!!''. Thomas comes running and says ''I was busy Y/n'' you laugh ''really?'' he rolls his eyes and helps get Dylan up the stairs. You help him to the bedroom and decide to sleep on the couch. You end up not going to sleep and go through OLD pictures of you Thomas, Dylan and Alula and most of all your family. You remember the message Dylan sent at lunch, he was going to take you out, you think to yourself 'I thought we were getting close, I mean don't get me wrong we did, for god sake we even kissed once or twice but maybe its for the best, as my mum always said -Love always finds your way back to you- but what if it doesn't what if it gets lost and never comes back, your eyes struggle to stay open and you fall asleep......
