The Void || BL

Chapter 11 || Cracking

Dylans POV
Something was wrong with me. I hadn't felt any feelings in a while but the feeling I felt towards Adam wasn't bad but it made me feel sick. I felt like I wanted to throw up. But in a good way? I brushed it off knowing that I needed to help Adam. 'Pull yourself together Dylan.' I thought to myself. I always wondered why Adam thought so much of this Max.

I had texted Ethan , who's number I got from Cooper. Adam and I waited the whole day. We spoke about our lives to each other and it turned out I wasn't the only one without a dad. We learn't more about each other every minute. After nine hours Ethan responded. He had said that Max was definitely in the area but nowhere to be found. I heard Adam sigh. "Ugh! This isn't helping!" He exclaimed with irritation.

"What the fuck do you mean this isn't helping? A! We literally know now that he is in this town , and he's in the area!" I barked. He clearly wasn't very smart. "Whatever you say Dilly." He muttered. I was getting annoyed with him but he looked so, hot and...sweet. I thought of the times where I thought of him and I together as a couple. Was I developing feelings for him? I didn't want to think about it. There was important things to do.

"Hey Adam?" I asked. "Dilly I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get all annoyed with you." Adam muttered. "Adam."I quickly said before being interrupted. "I'm just very overwhelmed by everything." "Adam!" I quickly yelled. He looked me dead in the eyes. I don't know what came over me in that moment. What on earth was I doing? "I...I love you." I quickly exclaimed. What the fuck was I doing!? I was breathing heavily. Why did I say that? What happened to focusing on important things?

I didn't want to see his reaction.I panicked, ran out of his room and out of the house immediately. I had to go somewhere quiet. I ran into an alleyway nearby and crouched next to a dumpster. I cried. For the first time I cried over a boy. It was overwhelming and confusing. I felt so many emotions flowing through my body. I was then caught off guard when I heard footsteps. I kept silent as listened carefully. Not that it was any of my business but the footsteps sounded like one person was wearing heavy boots and the other was wearing heels.

"Amelia for fucks sake!" A voice echoed loudly throughout the alleyway. 'Amelia?' I immediately thought. I mean...theres a lot of people named Amelia. "Don't fucking get mad at me. You said you would find him!" Another voice echoed but a female.

It sounded too much of a perfect match. Amelia had a dramatic voice which was high pitched. But who was she speaking too? "Listen. I can't stay here for too long. Make sure A doesn't find out about the murders." The male voice said. 'A? Murders?' I thought in fear. Once I heard them leave , I waited. And waited. And waited.

I then stood up after an hour and looked around me. I then turned around to head back home until I heard someone running down the alley. "Dylan!" A familiar voice exclaimed. It was Adam. I looked him in the eyes as he run up to me. He looked happy. He then suddenly pick me up over his shoulder. "Hey! What do you think you're doing!? Put me down!" I yelled while kicking my legs. He didn't let go.

He carried me back to his mom's house and carried me to his room. I was surprised he had the strength to still throw me on the bed. "Ow! Jeez Adam! Whats wrong with-" I was suddenly cut off by his hand covering my mouth. I thought he was about to kidnap me.

"Dylan. Knowing you for these four months have been crazy and amazing. I started to feel like Im connected to you." He said bluntly. His cheeks turned red. "I think I love you too." He muttered before looking into my eyes. I felt fuzzy and warm hearing those words. He then stared at my lips. Was he going to kiss me? Was my first love going to kiss me? Our eyes were locked on each others lips. And soon , naturally, we leaned in.

There was then a quick knock on the door and Adams mother burst through the door. "Adam dinner is ready!" She exclaimed as I immediately jumped backwards in surprise. "What the fuck mom!" Adam stated sounding a bit annoyed. She then closed the door slowly without replying , although I heard a small laugh. Adam looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. I felt myself falling deeper every second. "C'mon , don't want to keep my mum waiting." He said as he stood up. I stood up immediately and followed him to the kitchen.

I felt happy with Adam. And happiness is all I've ever wanted. Adam and I sat next to each other at the dinner table. Before I could do anything else my phone buzzed. I pulled it out my pocket and stared at the text message on the screen. It read, 'Hey Dylan. My name is Max.'  I froze. I immediately tapped on Adams shoulder and showed him the message. His eyes widened. I replied as if I didn't know him , but he knew me too well.

                 -Hey Dylan. My name is Max.
                                                                                                                            -Hi. I'm not familiar with a Max... :/
                -Don't play stupid. I need you and
                Adam to come out back.
                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                            -Are you outside???

               -Yes.

I started to panic. Max was outside. Outside A's house. Adam read the texts , immediately grabbed me and dragged me outside to the back of the house. We couldn't see anybody but then my phone buzzed. 'Head out the back gate and come to the alleyway you were just in.' The text said. I looked at Adam. His eyes were filled with fear and worry. He must've noticed me earlier.

Adam immediately headed out the gate and to the alleyway he just ran from. I hurried after him. As we entered the alley way we saw a tall person around 6 ft , standing still.

"Max..." Adam said softly , sounding stunned. The man stepped closer into the area which was illuminated by the street light. He removed his hood to reveal cherry red hair and bright brown eyes which almost looked gold. He then approached Adam , I was afraid Adam would attack him in some way for everything Max put him through but instead he stood there.

He just stood still as if he was in a trance. "I missed you A." Max stated as he stood a few inches in front of Adam. I felt jealous hearing those words.

Authors POV:
Dylan watched as Max stared at Adam who was clearly scared. Max then pulled out a gun. "Just incase you try to run Dylan." He stated with a smile. "Adam my love? Come here." Max stated as he ushered Adam to walk towards him. "A. Don't." Dylan stated as he grabbed Adams arm. But strangely , Adam brushed Dylans arm off him and slowly approached Max. Dylan watched in shock as this happened. He didn't understand why.

"Max." Adam simply stated. "I still love you Adam. I never stopped loving you." Max stated as he lifted Adams chin to look at him. "I love you too." Adam muttered. Dylan felt shivers go down his spine. Didn't Adam state that he loved him and not Max? He was even more confused but he then felt angry and emotional. Max then whispered something in Adams ear.

"Dylan. Go home." Adam commanded. "What? You're just telling me to go home?! No Adam! I want to know what the fuck is going on!" Dylan exclaimed and a tear fell from his face. "Oh. Oh! A. My darling A... I win." Max stated before stepping closer to Dylan.

"You want to know what going on Dylan? Your little friend is a murderer. He's killed 3 people. And don't call me a liar. Ask him yourself." Max stated as he pointed at Adam playfully. "Adam..?" Dylan said softly as tears welled up in his eyes. Adam turned to watch Dylan in fear. "Dilly...Please..I was going to tell you! I just...wasn't..ready." Adam stated as he began to cry. "You killed people. I should've left you in the Void." Dylan stated emotionlessly as he finally turned his back on his world and walked away without looking behind him.

"Dylan! Please!" Adam called after him and he watched his beloved walk away. Max grabbed his face and forced A to look at him. "We should go on a walk to the docks. Like old times." Max stated softly with a cold expression.

End of chapter

Dylan felt nothing. He felt his body was ache. He then walked out the alley. Just like that. "Dylan!" Adam yelled as he cried softly. "Shhh. Baby I want to take you somewhere." Max said softly as he took Adams hand and lead him out the alley.
