Dylan O'Brien story's. On hold

You and I! Part Ten

It had been a few days since Marie and Dylan had been like that. Dylan didn't leave her side he wanted to spend time with her. He liked having her around, a lot.
Yes his friends was still coming round. But after some words was spoken he was starting to re think whether they was really his friends at all.
His other friends didn't seem to mind Marie at all. It was just these ones and Dylan didn't know why. So he decided when it was just them he would ask them.

Later that night Marie was laying down watching a tv show. Dylan had been busy with a lot of work. He looked at her laying on the sofa. He put away somethings and left the table. He looked down at Marie. She looked up at him. He kneeled down so he was eye level.
"Are you ok?" Marie said. Running her hands throw his hair. She moved, Dylan got the hint and laid down next to her. Marie putting her head on his chest. He held her close to him.
"What's wrong Dylan?" Marie said.
She was worried for him, his friends being the way they was, was getting to him and Marie noticed this.
"It's ok, nothing for you to worry about". Dylan said.
"Well I am worried. And I know this has something to do with some of your friends and I know it has to do with me". Marie said.
Dylan moved and looked at her.
"I don't want us to cause problems with you and your friends". Marie said.
"This isn't. I don't know why there acting the way they are". Dylan said.
"I think, it's about time they was asked. It's not right. There acting like children, and it is not fair on you". Marie said.
Dylan looked at her.
"Us". Dylan said.
"Yes, but they have been your friends a lot longer than I have been. I am starting to see what Andrew meant. Why do they think it's ok for them to act this way?" Marie said.
"I don't know. It is weird has there all in relationships. But there being like this with me". Dylan said.
"You don't think they want you to be with someone they know do you?" Marie said.
"All the females that are my friends. I am not interested in any of them. And I have made it clear to them". Dylan said.
"So what else could it be. What is there problem?" Marie said.
"Well when we see them again. Let's ask them". Dylan said.
This took Marie a little bit by surprise. But she knew he too had enough of there attitudes. It was showing in him.

They two of them talked about everything. Marie did feel bad, she didn't want to be the one to break up any friendships. But also didn't want them thinking they could run his life for him. 
Marie fall a sleep, Dylan's voice had a effect on her. It was so soft. He watched her sleeping next to him.

***

For the next few days Dylan kept away from the friends. He didn't answer there messages. Marie had soon finished what she was there to deal with. So she decided to stay a little bit longer.
His phone was buzzing. Has they was trying to get hold of him.
In the end he read the messages. He wasn't happy with them. And sent a message back.

Dylan:
What is your problem with her? She not a thing to any of you! I don't get why the attitude regarding her!
I am allowed to have friends that aren't famous u know.

Marie looked at him and smiled.
"So everything finished regarding all the documents?" Dylan said.
"Yes. Well I hope". Marie said. Just then his phone buzzed.
"Let me guess you sent a message!" Marie said.
"Yes. I have asked what there problem is". Dylan said.
"Fair enough. What has been said?" Marie said.
He read the message.

Sam:
Easy mate. You hardly know the woman and your spending a lot of time with her. Plus she's doesn't seem your type. Really thought you and lily would get together. Plus she is going back to England soon. So this is just a fling and be over soon.
Honestly don't know what u see in her.

Dylan:
Excuse me. I like her. That is no excuse to treat her the way u all have. I am not interested in lily. Never have been never will. I like Marie. And she isn't a fling ok. See in her, she is an amazing woman. I think the world of her.
Some friends u are. I think it is best u stay away from me.
When Marie goes back to England I am going with her. And that is up to me.
So please do not text or ring me anymore. Friends are happy for there friends when they have meet someone. Marie and I have a lot in common. And we enjoy each others company.

Marie saw what was written. Dylan pulled her onto his lap. She had been crying.
"Sweetie, please. Don't let them upset you. It seems they are showing there true colours". Dylan said.
"But why? Surely as you said friends are happy for there friends". Marie said.
"I know. Plus all they want to do it drink and party. And I'm not that same person anymore. This lockdown and made me see there is more than drinking and partying. It seems Andrew was right he really was. So when you go back to England I am coming back with you". Dylan said.
"Really? I am sorry about them. I really am. But friends don't treat your other friends like that. They really are jealous aren't they?" Marie said.
"Yes they are. I don't need people in my life like that". Dylan said.
"It is a shame. They can't let you make your own choices. Your other friends aren't like that". Marie said.
"I know". Dylan said.
He texted his manager and asked her to book him a plane ticket to England. He explained what was happening. She didn't argue with him, she booked it for the same day Marie was going to be flying back.
Dylan decided to block them friends for the time being. He did not want them keeping on about things. Seeing has it was not any of their business.
They had no idea how far they had taken there relationship. And that was between Marie and Dylan.
