Chpt 10- The Masks

(Dylan's P.O.V)

I parked my car and felt a pit in my stomach. I usually always trust my gut feeling but I had no idea about this one. I looked around before I got out to my truck and nothing. No weird cars. No weird people.

I got out and walked toward my apartment. I opened the door and walked upstairs. I got to my apartment door and it was slightly open. I grabbed the gun in my pocket and held it ready. I slowly walked in and looked around. "Dylan is that..." I heard as I jumped pointing my gun at Dustin who at this point threw the box of cereal across the kitchen.

"You scared me!" I shouted and he looked at me confused. "Wait I scared you! You're pointing a gun at me!" He shouted back. "I'm sorry" I said taking a breath putting it down. I put it back into my pocket and walked over to the cereal box. "You guys got here fast" I said picking it up.

"Dahlia was already in the area shopping when I called" he said holding his heart. "You two seem to be getting closer than before" I said walking over to him handing him the box. "Yeah... she's great" he said almost hiding something.

"You don't made it sound great" I said with a raised brow. "No it is. It's really great" he said with a smile. "Where's John?" I asked walking toward the table to sit. "He's home. Said he didn't want to outstay his welcome" Dustin said pouring the milk in his bowl. "Yeah he does that a lot" I chuckled as I sat.

"You two don't seem fine. Lots of animosity" Dustin said bringing his bowl over to the table. "I don't see what's gotten into him lately... he's been acting weird" I said looking to the side. "That's John for you" Dustin said with a mouthful.

"Do you think it's a good plan?" I asked. "I mean beating someone first isn't like the best idea but all this needs to stop sooner or later" he said before taking another full bite. "I want to protect everyone" I said grabbing his bowl and pulling it toward me.

"It's a plan that gets a lot of us hurt in order to protect just one and go make your own bowl" he said laughing at the end. I took a bite and he pulled his bowl back toward him. "It protects everyone. Just one person can't fight their own so we all pull the weight of just the one" I said finishing my bite.

"If you say so" he said slurping some milk. "Have a better idea?" I said. "Let's abandon all this. Grab what we can and leave. Never look back. Protect those we love somewhere else" Dustin said seriously.

"We can't just up and leave Dustin" I said leaning back into my chair. "Why not. Dahlia is willing to go. Right now she needs the most protection" he said putting his hand over his face and breathing. "What do you mean? Are they after her too?" I asked concerned.

"No... but they might be and I don't want nothing happening to her Dylan. I love you and I love her. I can't keep going back and forth" he said getting up with his empty bowl and spoon.

"Trust me. It won't. They just want to make me mad. They just want to get my guard down. They're using max to do that" I said banging my fists down into the table. "And you're letting them" Dustin said starting the sink to wash his dishes. "They're coming after him, I have to" I said.

"Don't lose max trying to protect him. You're going to drive him into their arms. You're scaring him" Dustin said drying off his hands. "No I'm not" I said getting upset. "His face was pale and he was nauseous at the thought that you might actually kill someone. He wanted to go home immediately after. That's scary Dylan" Dustin said almost shouting at me.

I took a breath. I stood silent as he was right. "I need to sleep on this" I said standing up. "Dylan it's midday" Dustin said furrowing his brows. "Yeah well it's been hard to sleep lately and I need to have a clear mind if max is going to come back here" I said going into my room and shutting my door.
