The Quarry - Aftermath - Rylan

2 ~ Sympathy

- 3rd person-

His friends were dead. Gone. Forever.
He ran over to Kaitlyn, covered in a pool of blood. Dylan burst into tears, laying his head on her arm, covering him in blood.

2:50 AM

Dylan gasped for air, he was sat in his bed sweating. He took his shirt off to feel his heart beating and to try and stop sweating..

He could barely catch his breath as he checked the clock... it was a nightmare... all a nightmare..

He sat in his bed, shocked. Dylan looked around and noticed his cat at the end of his bed, sleeping with his tail wrapped around his body. He glanced over at his phone which buzzed multiple times.

"57 text messages and 12 calls?!" Dylan gasped. He unlocked his phone and noticed they were from Kaitlyn. He looked at some of the messages.

- Messages with Kaitlyn -

Kaitlyn: Dude, dude! I heard you got out of jail on the news!

Kaitlyn: Answer, please!

Kaitlyn: Dylan, dude, are you alright? Everyone else is released from jail now.

Kaitlyn: Dylan...?

Dylan: Dude, it's late, I was asleep.

Kaitlyn: Oh my god, you're up! I'm sorry for waking you up, but I also have some news.

Dylan: It's fine...

Dylan wonders if he should tell her about the nightmare or not

Dylan: Well, what's the news?

Kaitlyn: Okay, okay! Listen, since everyone is released, Emma was texting me about a meetup in a couple days. But, I can't wait that long to see you, I'm so happy you are out. I want to see you asap.

Dylan: A meetup...? So soon. Anyways, are you coming over tomorrow or something? I'm free.

Kaitlyn: Yes! Yes! Give me your address, may I spend the night tomorrow, we'll be able to get up together and plan the meetup with Emma. I'm adding you to the group chat on insta.

Dylan gives Kaitlyn his address

Dylan: Thanks, and sure, stay the night, I'm always free. Goodnight, ttyl. <3

Kaitlyn: ttyl <3

Dylan closes his messages with Kaitlyn.

He takes a breath before plugging his phone back in and screaming into a pillow. His muffled scream was a bit louder than he expected, waking up his cat.

Dylan was nervous about a meetup, what if something bad happened? He hadn't seen them all since the tragedy...
Dylan closed his eyes, hoping to fall asleep and not wake up to a nightmare.

1:14 PM

Dylan groaned hearing a loud voice above him. He picked up a pillow and covered his eyes to block the light shining in.

Kaitlyn ripped the covers off of him only to cover her eyes at the sight of Dylan in some teal tie-dye shorts and no shirt.

"Oh god, I'm so sorry" Kaitlyn shouts, still covering her eyes.

"Kaitlyn, what the hell? I could have been naked, eh?" Dylan groans and throws a pillow at her face. He sits up and walks towards his closet. He grabs a white t-shirt and puts on a flannel over it. He grabs a pair of jeans and walks to the bathroom as Kaitlyn drops onto his bed with Shrödinger, the cat.
