Broken [Dylan Sprayberry and Chloe Moretz Fanfic]

Chapter 14

Chloe's POV
A small smile crept onto my face as we walked up to the entrance of the mall.
The rise here was mostly filled with music and me and Dylan singing of key with it. We didn't really talk at all but it wasn't awkward.
"Are you hungry?" Dylan asked as we looked around.
"A little" I responded as I remembered that I haven't eaten today. Dylan looked around for a second until he grabbed my wrist and pulled me over to some small Mexican diner.
"Good afternoon, my name is Jenny and I'll be your waiter" and elderly lady said as we took a seat at a small booth.
"Can I get the two of you something to drink?" She asked with a warm smile on her face.
"I'll have a large Coke" I said while looking down at the menu in my hands.
"Make that two" Dylan said from across the booth. The lady nodded her head and walked away leaving me and Dylan there.
"So why did you want to take me out?" I asked as I folded the menu closed and placed it in front of me and rested my elbows on top of them.
"Because I knew it was hard on you to sit at that table and pretend that nothing's wrong" he said as he placed the menu aside.
"What do you mean?" I asked a little confused.
"Chloe, you told me about what happened with you and Mason last night" he sighed.
"No, I wouldn't" I said as I slowly shook my head.
"Chloe, people tend to say stuff when they are drunk" he stated with a sympathetic look in his eyes.
"Did I maybe tell you something else?" I asked. Dylan looked down at his fumbling hands and shifted in his seat before looking back up at me.
"No, nothing else" he said and it wasn't hard to see the shine in his eyes as a smile formed on his lips. I was about to ask him if he was lying but before I could our waitress came back with our drink.

"Are you ready to order?" She asked as she took out a small notebook and pen.
"Yeah, I'll have a chicken taco" Dylan said while handing her his menu.
"And for you?" She asked as she looked at me.
"I'll have a chicken burrito" I said and handed her my menu and watched how she dotted it down on the notebook.
"Will that be all?" She asked and both Dylan and I nodded our heads.
"So, why aren't you with Samantha?" I asked curiously.
"Oh...uh..... we broke up" he said cusually as if it didn't bother him.
"Why?" I asked while raising one of my eyebrows.
"She was still in love with her ex" he said as he kept his eyes lock on mine almost as if he was looking for something in them.
"I'm sorry" I said as I flashed him a small smile.
"Don't worry about it, it was kind of a mutual feeling" he said as his smile widened a little.
"Oh, so who's her ex?" I ask as more curiosity took over.
"Mason" he muttered under his breath almost like he didn't want me to hear. But I did. I guess she is the girlfriend he talked to me about at the carnival.
The girlfriend who cheated on him. I guess I wasn't good enough for him if he went back to her. Maybe he wanted from me what he always gotten from her. I actually feel so stupid right now.
"Oh" I mumbled as I placed my hands in my lap and started fiddling with my fingers.
"But at least he got what he deserved" he said making me furrow my eyebrows at him.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Didn't you realized his bruised face this morning?" He asked and I just shrugged my shoulders. Yeah I did notice it but I just thought that he had gotten into a fight at the club while he was drunk or something like that.
"Well, after you went to sleep last night I went back to my dorm room. When I got there James wasn't there." He started.
"This morning I caught him sneaking into the room with his hair messed up, his shirt on backwards and his belt hanging around his neck"
"I asked him about what he did but he just said that he didn't do anything, that it was you who forced yourself on him and that didn't want someone like that" Dylan said and took a deep breath.
"So because I know you would do that I lost it and through a few punches to his face" Dylan finished never breaking eye contact with me.
"Thank you" I said as a smile formed on my lips.

"Here you go" I heard.
I looked up to see our waitress standing there while placing our orders on the table.
"Do you need anything else?" She asked and I just slowly shook my head.
I looked down at the burrito in plate and my stomach started to growl making me realized how hungry I actually am.

Its been almost and hour and Dylan and I are finally finished and I was just about to take the money out of my purse when Dylan beat me to it.
"What are you doing?" I asked as I held the money in my hands.
"I'm paying" he answered with a duh-look on his face.
"Why?" I asked as I placed the money on the counter but Dylan just swatted my hand away.
"Because I was the one who took you here" he said as he placed his money on the counter making me swat his hand away.
"Can we split it?" I asked.
"No" he answered shortly and placed the money on the counter but before I could say anything the cashier took the money and looked at the both of us with an amusing smile on her face. I sighed as Dylan grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the diner.
"So where to next?".
