Chap 34:

Amaya pov:

Dexter has stopped talking to me as much. I have started to notice that he keeps his distance.

Even Celean is confused and when I went to ask Max, he gave me the cold shoulder and ignored me completely.

I mean Max is low but not that low, even Milly doesn't know whats going on with him.

"Just drop by his house and confront him," Milly says and snatches some of my chocolate pretzels.

"But what if he's not in?"

"Then wait. Love has no bounds," she shrugs while I roll my eyes.

"So I should just wait for him all night in the rain by his doorstep in order to confront him about something that may be possibly true?"

"You're always an overthinker. I guess some things never change,"

"I mean what is his problem anyways? This is totally unfair and-"

"And you have gotten a notification from lover boy..." she looks over my shoulder as I open my phone, quickly.

Its been sorted, your university fees. Don't worry, this won't happen again.

Milly and I gave each other a look and I responded.

Thanks for that....but we need to talk. Properly, Dex.

.........fine. Meet me by my place around 7. I think we need to address some things.

"Sounds like a date...." Milly mumbles.

And yet it feels like anything but. Dread curls in my stomach as I start to bounce my leg.

———————————-(Time Skip)

I sat by the steps, scrolling on my phone when I heard Dexter's motorbike pull up.

"Amaya...." He took of his helmet and sat down next to me on the cold, wet steps not touching me.

He is right next to me but he feels like hes also miles away.

So when he said the words, I thought I misheard him.

"Lets break up,"

The rain splattered down and soaked the toes of my trainers, while we sit sheltered.

"Amaya did you hear-"

"Fuck no, Dexter. You're mine and I'm yours. I know you're scared but-"

"Scared....?! You think I'm scared?"

I turn to face him and interrupt him but he looks at me with fierce abundant grey eyes.

"I'm fucking terrified!! Do you know what that fucker almost did to you and to me?? She almost had you violated and had me thrown im jail for manslaughter-"

"Dexter-" I try but he fists his hair back, the rain pouring down harder.

"No...NO! You're not listening to me, Amaya!! What would have happened to Luke?! This is all my fucking fault and I refuse to let anyone harm you. I will fucking burn her for-"

"No, you know what- fuck you, Dex! I know you're terrified of her but us breaking up doesn't fix anything!! It makes shit worse and it ends-"

"I can't do this anymore. Always worried and not even sleeping properly because all I can feel is her fucking breathing down my neck. And if we do what she says than she will leave you and Luke alone-"

"AND HAVE YOU!! LIKE FUCK AM I LETTING YOU WALK BACK INTO THAT RAPISTS ARMS!!"" I stand up, suddenly furious.

"ITS EASY FOR YOU TO SAY BUT SHES BEEN CONSTANTLY PESTERING ME FOR THREE YEARS AND-"
