Chapter 24

Tori's POV
I went to go get Starbucks with Dylan. We walk down the street holding hands and talking about current events in our life. I told him about the party and he told me about how he just finished a project with 5 gum and Ricky Dillion. Once we got there, we order our drinks and find a table to sit at. We laugh and talk. Just a casual date. My phone vibrates during our conversation.
"One moment," I said as I search my purse for my phone.

It's been a few days since this person called.
"It's been a while, Tori. I see you're with your boyfriend, Dylan. He seems like a sweet guy..." the voice said.
"Oh no," I look back at Dylan. "You are not dragging Dylan into this."

"Everyone you know is fair game, Tori. Dylan's just fresh meat," the voice replied. "You can't watch over him forever."
"Show yourself!" I say.
"In time, Tori. Until next time..." and the call drops.
This...person was going to harm Dylan and that's where I drew the line. I was going to figure out who this person was if it killed me.

Dylan's POV
Tori comes back a few minutes later after getting off the phone. I was almost done with my drink when she came back.
"What's your passion?" she asks.
"My passion is to make people happy," I reply. What a silly response.
"That's good, but as in a hobby or a job," Tori says.
"Probably photography. I'm pretty good with a camera," I say.

"Oh cool!" she says.
She looks at the time on her phone.
"We should probably get going. Wanna hang at my house?" she asks.
"Sure!"
We get up, throw our cups away, and head out the door. We get to her house and her friend is sitting on the couch watching tv. She wore purple glasses and she had a bruise on her cheek.

"Hey, Crystal," Tori says.
"Hey," she replies. She turns off the tv and looks up at me.
"Omg! YOU'RE DYLAN DAUZAT!" she exclaims. She's freaking out.
"She did the same thing with Leigh's boyfriend," I said.
"Leigh's boyfriend was a douche," Crystal snapped.

"He wasn't a douche!" Leigh called out from the top of the staircase. "You just wanted him SOO bad because..."

"What?!" Crystal yells cutting her off. "I didn't even want him. He was all yours and then you go pointing fingers at me! How about you talk to your 'boyfriend,' huh? You know: the one who sleeps around with other girls cause he's a player and a douche. You don't want to yell at him but you want to get on my case! I saved you from heartbreak earlier than expected. Malak was cheating on you the whole time!"

Crystal didn't hold back anything.

She grabs her car keys and she heads towards the door. She turns around right as she's heading out and says,"You should be thanking me, Leigh." and slams the door shut.
We all stand there in a still silence. Comprehending what happened.

Leigh's POV
I couldn't believe what Crystal just said. That girl had little to no filter. She let it all out because of anger. I shouldn't have done that. I run back to my room. I look at the folded piece of paper and I think about dialing the number. I said screw it. I climbed out my window and ran to Malak's house.

I managed to climb up a tree and look in his window and couldn't believe what I saw. That Crystal was telling me was truth about Malak. He was hooking up with a girl in his bedroom. I stood there shock and broken up again. I get down from the tree and I run home. I try calling Crystal to apologize but it goes straight to voicemail. Worst morning ever.

Crystal's POV
I'm zooming down the street with anger and hurt. I didn't know where I was going honestly. All I knew was,"Go!" I slow down so I'm not stopped by the cops. Leigh tries to call me but I was not in the mood. After that argument, I wouldn't be talking to her for a while. I drive down to the beach. I sit there on the sand and cry.

"Crystal!" someone calls out. I turn around and it's Matt.
He runs over and slides into the sand next to me coolly. I laugh a little.
"What's wrong?" he asks me.
"Leigh and I had a big blowout. So I came to the beach," I replied smiling a bit. We sit there staring at the beautiful ocean.

"You and Myles, huh?" Matt asked with a smirk after a few minutes.
"Shut up," I say and I playfully push him. He pushes me back harder and I land in the sand. He gets up to start running but I grab his ankle and falls face first in the sand.
"It's on!" he shouts and we both wrestle in the sand. We fought until we had no more energy in us. We lie there looking up at the sky. I look at him and he looks at me.

We stare into each other's eyes for very long time. As if time just stood still in that moment for us.

Matt's POV
I stare deep into Crystal's eyes. I wanted to hold her hand and tell her she was beautiful. I wanted to tell her I loved her. That I wanted to make her my girl. I wanted to kiss her. I didn't care that she was dating Myles or if Myles jumps me for smooching his girl. I did not care. I just wanted Crystal.

I pull her close and I kiss her. She doesn't kiss me back. She just let me have my moment. I pull away and she lays there with a blank expression on her face. I didn't know if she liked it or not. Then she finally speaks.
"We never speak of this!" she says sternly.
"Deal," I reply.
