Our Yearbook(Dylan Hoffman)

Chapter 15

Y/n POV:

I called Bella maybe 10 times since I got home. I felt so bad for what I did. I had no idea the hell she was going through and I wasn't making her case any better. 

I called her again letting the phone ring until it went to voicemail again. If I couldn't talk to her straight I would try Dylan. On the first ring, he answered. "Are you good?" He asked. 

"Yeah I just wanted to talk to Bella but she wasn't picking up her phone" I felt so guilty. In case he did give the phone to Bella what was I supposed to say?

"Hey, Y/n" Bella's soft voice called from the phone. Shit now what was I supposed to say.

"Hey, Bella. How are you?"I'd start with a greeting.

"As good as I can be given my current situation. If you're calling about Dylan he's all yours. We did in fact break up that day he went to go meet me on the beach. We just decided that we'd keep telling people that we were dating so that they wouldn't say nasty things about  you." She sounded exhausted. Like sleep was a foreign language to her.

"Bella. I didn't call to talk about Dylan. I called to talk about you. I finally found out what was going on with you and I just want to say that I'm deeply sorry for everything. I wish we could start over. You have Dylan's care and support and you also have mine. I know we didn't really start on the right foot but I'm here for you" Wow. It was like in the moment the words just knew how to come out.

"Y/n I'm deeply sorry for how I treated you. Yeah, things in my life weren't great but it wasn't your fault that life was working out the way it was for me. You liked someone and I stole that away from you. I could never love and take care of him the way you do" She took a deep breath "I'm moving to Arizona with my Uncle. Only you and Dylan now. I want to get away from here. My mom is doing good again. So I think it is time. But give Dylan another shot. This is the one I can tell"

I heard her call Dylan back into the room. "I've got to go but I'll talk to you later".

I sat there staring at my phone. You truly never knew what someone was going through.

Dylans POV: 

Y/n had called to talk to Bella. Me and y/n fell off hard these past few weeks but I couldn't help but like her more. Her calling Bella checking in on her and apologizing was really sweet even though she wasn't really in the wrong.

The 3 of us had been hanging out a lot ever since. Trying to get the most out of the time Bella still had here. She would be leaving the day after school got out. 

Over spring break the 3 of us hung out not doing much. We talked and laughed and went shopping. Even though things between Y/n and Bella were chill there was still an awkwardness between them. 

"So when are you going to ask her if y'all can start the dating thing again" Bella asked. We were sitting in the food court of the mall. Y/N had left and used the restroom and it was just me and Bella.

I took a big sip of my Sprite then let out a sigh " I don't know. I'm ready but I just don't know if she'll want to try things again with me. I mean we've been through so many fights. Maybe were not meant to date. Maybe our relationship ends with friends. Plus I don't know how to bring it up without getting hurt you know" I turned to look at Bella.

''I personally think if you really want to give this whole thing a shot again you should find somewhere private but also a place she likes. Set it up all nice. Almost like a proposal. Ask to be her boyfriend. Then talk about how you feel" She passed and looked at me. Her expression changed "She might not say yes but at least you tried".

I didn't get to say anything because Y/n walked back. The rest of the time I tried to act normal but really my mind was somewhere else. What if she said no? Was that just the end of it? Of everything our friendship or would things go back to how they were before we started dating. 

So many questions and honestly not enough answers.

Later that day me and y/n headed back to my place. Bella left early. She needed to start packing since she was leaving in less than 2 weeks.

"So ...." Y/n said trailing off. We were now in the pool. Since Y/n apologized to Bella we hadn't really had time alone. It was always the 3 of us. I didn't mind at all but I guess that caused me and Y/n to never really talk about all the things that happened. 

"Nice day" Nice day was I an idiot?

"Yeah"

Silence. We just kept looking at each other.

"Dylan this really can't be how things end. We're all awkward around each other"

"You're right it can't. We're cool"

"Yeah were cool"

We swam for hours. Just talking and playing games. "Let's get in the hot tube," I said.

"Today was a lot of fun truly. We need to hang out more just the 2 of us"

"Yes".

We sat there facing each other. Suddenly it washed over me. I wanted to kiss her. Bad. I don't know what it was. 

"Can I kiss you?" I said breaking the since.

"What" 

"I mean yeah sure" 

I moved across the water softly grabbed her face and kissed her. 

It felt like I had lost her forever.

I eventually pulled away. "Do you want to spend the night here?" I asked her. I looked into her eyes. Just a few more days and I would ask to be yours again.

"Yeah sure why not? I just have to go home and grab some things. We looked at each other smiling. I guess we both needed that kiss more than we thought.
