Our Yearbook(Dylan Hoffman)

Chapter 14

Dylans POV:

"Bella" I called for the 3rd time. Bella had been back for 3 days now. I kept asking her to meet up but she would always come up with something.

This was my 4th time trying to break up with her. I refused to do it over the phone. I kept telling myself just to let the words come out of my mouth but every time I got close she shut me away. 

"Bella" I yelled this time. I had enough I grabbed her phone out of her hand. "Can you stop texting whoever you are just for a bit? I need to talk to you"

"What, make it quick I have somewhere to go," She said rolling her eyes.

"It's over between us. I know you've been cheating on me ever since we started dating" I sighed. I finally got my words out.

"Dylan I happened to know that while I was in Spain you and y/n kissed. So I guess we're both not so great, are we? So why don't we talk this out, forget all the cheating, and start over? I know how much it would hurt you to see me going through pain" She began to cry " Dylan I always thought of you as someone sweet. I thought finally someone understood me. But no I guess I was wrong. You know right now is a hard time. My parents finalized the divorce. My grandma passed away. I lost my childhood pet. And now the man I thought I was going to die with is breaking up with me" She broke down crying even harder. 

There was no fucking way she was doing this right now. "Look Bella we can still be friends. If you need someone to talk to I'll be there. But this relationship is not working out. I'm sorry but it's over" I handed her back her phone and began to walk away from her when she grabbed my wrist.

"Please Dylan I'm sorry. I should have never cheated on you. Look my head is not in the right place right now but I truly care and love you. Give me another chance. We can work this out I know we can" She was in full tears. 

Before I could say anything she got a call. I stood there awkwardly as she answered. I watched as her face changed. She had a concerned look on her face. When she cut the call again she was in full tears. 

"My moms in the hospital"

"I'll go with you"

Y/N POV:

Today me and Dylan had planned to go swimming in his pool and just hang out. I texted him but he didn't answer.

Some part of me was really starting to believe that Dylan never actually got over Bella. He still had yet to fill me in on why she even moved here in the first place.

Someone had seen us kissing in the hallway and was calling me a slut. Saying with everything going on in Bella's life I could at least leave Dylan for her. She really needed him right now was what everyone was saying. Yet nobody would tell me what was going on.

I sat outside waiting. Hoping he was just running late. I went for a swim. Went inside and made myself something small. I checked my phone nothing.

Next thing I knew I was waking up to the sound of my phone ringing. I looked at the time and it was 9:30. I had a blanket on I assumed my mother or father gave me and I was lying on the couch.

"Hello," I said. I answered the phone without looking at who was calling.

"Hey, Y/n I'm sorry about today. I know I said we were going to hang out but something came up with Bella and I just can't right now. I'm sorry" Before I could even open my mouth Dylan cut the call.

Oh, so he spent the whole day with Bella. He told me a few days ago that he would break up with her. Did he think he could play me? 

The next few days in class Dylan and Bella would just talk quietly to each other in class. Leaving me out of their conversations. I couldn't be mad fully since they were still dating. But It felt like he was leading me on.

After a week of this going on I finally had enough. "If you don't mind Bella I'm going to talk to my neighbor" I pulled him to my driveway.

"What the fuck" I tried to keep my voice down "Did that kiss mean nothing to you. I mean you kiss me, make me think you're going to break up with her, and then bam you pop up, and you're still with her. I'm confused you know she's cheating on you. She doesn't even like you". I was losing it. 

"You don't understand right now. Y/N Bella is going through a lot. I wanted to break up with her. But right now her life is falling apart and sure what she did to me was wrong but I just can't leave her alone. Believe it or not but when I lost you she was there for me" 

He looked at me. "I never knew if she had real feelings for me. But she gave real advice and offered real help when we were broken up. I feel like it's only right for me to pay her back. Help her get back on her feet"

"Not again. Tell me. Tell me what going on that it's so important that you stay with her. You kiss me knowing she was going through so much. You kissed me at school and someone saw us and now people at school are calling me a slut. Does she know how that feels? Nobody seemed to care when she was all up on you when we were dating. Why am I even doing this? You have room in your heart for one girl. And sadly that one girl is not me" I walked up to my house shutting the door behind me.

He didn't come chasing after me. In fact, at school, he stopped talking to me. Bella and him would eat with us every once in a while and when they did eat with us everyone was all friendly with her.

What was up with everybody? Just a few months ago we all agreed that she took something very important from me. And now everyone loved her.

I decided to free my mind and figure out what was going on I had a girl's day with Sunny and Ari. "Okay, so would somebody mind telling me what's going on and why this We Love Bella fan club just started out of nowhere" I asked.

I was so over not knowing. Ari and Sunny both looked at each other shocked. "You mean you don't know," Sunny asked me.

"Ummm no I really don't"

"Well, it's been a hard past few months for her. Her parents went through with the divorce and it's just been really messy. Her mom moved over here to our side of town and she moved with her mom since her dad wants nothing to do with her. He has a new family and is trying to break off their bond. Then her grandma and her childhood pet both died around Christmas. Her mom got into a car accident and ended up in the hospital. She's fine for now but her doctor is concerned about her health. Ever since the divorce, her mom hasn't been taking care of herself. It's just been a really bad time in her life. So we're all just trying to be nice. It's one of the main reasons Dylan didn't break up with her" Ari said.

I sat there and felt like absolutely shit. This whole time Bella was going through probably the worst months of her life and all I could think about was me.

Authors Note:

This chapter is a little short sorry about that I didn't really know what to write for some reason but I think I'll be ending the book on 17 or 20 chapters. It just depends on whether the ideas are flowing or not. I want to say thank you for all the love and support of this book. I talk to you all in the next chapter bye for now.
