Wonderland In Ruins

Chapter 28: Just say Yes

Dylan's POV

I can't do this now. She's distraught and exhausted.

"Ally, baby, you need some sleep. Take your pill."

"But..Dylan."

"I'm not going to do this tonight and then have you hate me in the morning bc you feel even emptier inside. I want you to have a pure head when we decide to take it to the next level, okay?"

"You're rejecting me.."

"NO. Definitely not rejecting you. I don't want to take advantage of you. Please take your pill and go to sleep. I'm down the hall if you need anything. I love you."

Alice's POV

And with a kiss on the forehead he's gone.

I don't know how to feel, I really want him but I know I'm just dying for his attention.

I need to think about this.

No, I love him. I want to be with him and only him for the rest of my life.

Ugh well I'm gonna swallow this pill and drift to sleep.

Goodnight.

Dylan's POV

I just made her feel bad. I made her feel rejected. I need to go back and apologize.

She's unstable, I should be more courteous to her.

I make my way back to her room.

As I open the door, I see my beauty is sleeping.

So I shut off the light and close the door.

Goodnight, gorgeous.

Alice's POV

It's 2am. I got roughly 2 hours of sleep.

My heart is pounding. I look around my room to see if the nightmare was real or not.

I put my hand on my forehead. Of course it's not real, silly girl. Your mind is out to get you.

I walk to the sink and I splash water on my sweaty face.

I need to do something about these nightmares. Is it the melatonin?

I look back at my bed, knowing sleep will escape me.

I play around with the thought of seeing if Dylan is still awake or climbing into bed with him and waiting until the morning.

Maybe I could wake him up and talk to him for a few hours.

Now now, don't be selfish, Alice. He's exhausted, too. Don't bring him down with you.

Ugh. I lie back down and stare out my window.

The beautiful black sky and brilliant stars rouse my imagination and I'm floating in the heavens with them.

But then I'm being ripped apart by a black hole, consuming my every light and will to live.

I sit erect on my bed now.

Shaking the violent thoughts from my mind.

It's terrible being alone with a mind like mine.

So I open my door and tip toe my way to Dylan's room.
