Dylan & Ally's Immortal Love #Wattys2015

Chapter 36: Hello, Lloyd.

Chapter: 36
Awkward.

That's all I can say!

It was simply awkward!

I was frozen in my place, griping Dylan's hand so hard that I think I cut off his circulation! My dad was standing in front of me, with a grin on his face, and an extended hand for me to shake. I didn't practice for this! I practiced for a hug, or just awkward, silent, creepy looking, but not a handshake! With every step he took, my heart would jump with the sound of his shoes hitting the polished ground.

I gulped.

Dylan nudged me, signaling for me to shake hands with the man I haven't seen in two years...

"Breathe!" He ordered in a voice only I could hear, so I did what he told me. I inhaled slowly, then exhaled. "Now extend your hand to him!" He demanded.

I extended my right hand, trembling. After a second, I felt the man's hand make contact with mine, and envelope it. I let out a shaky breath... Why is this going in slow motion?! My stomach twisted at the heat coming from his skin.

"How have you been, darling?" His voice was manly, and deep.

I nodded, "good." My voice was raspy, and shaky.

He gave me a confused look for a split second, before focusing on the boy next to me. "Dylan!" He greeted, leaving my hand. "Look how grown you are, my boy!"

Dylan smiled, greeting him, "Mr. Burns."

"Why so formal?" My dad patted Dylan's shoulder, grinning from ear to ear. Then, he took the bag from my hand, and gestured us to walk, "come on. You must be tired from this long trip, lets get you some rest!"

Dylan pulled me to move, and follow my father. My heart was beating so fast, and I felt like my tears were about to drop.

This is going to be harder than I thought!

"Please calm down!" He begged.

"He looks just like him!" I covered my face, sobbing, and taking deep breaths.

"I know," he whispered. "But please calm down, this is not healthy for you!"

I shook my head, not being able to stop the tears. "I can't look at him!" I sobbed.

He hugged me, "I'm here."

I buried my face in Dylan's chest, soaking his shirt.

"It's hard, I know! But, you have to try getting over it! It's almost the second year!"

"Every time I- I remember h-him," I couldn't continue, because I cried more.

Dylan stayed silent, just rubbing my back. My heart was tearing apart! It was too painful, that I felt myself suffocation! My eyes were burning from crying, they felt so heavy. I grabbed into his collar, pulling my self into him as I felt immerse pain in my heart. Dylan's lips made contact with my forehead, and he rested his head on top of mine, rocking me so that I calm down.

As I felt extremely tired, and lost all energy from crying... I fell asleep in Dylan's arms.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lloyd, but she's really having a hard time with this! She can't go out!" Some whispers pulled me out of my sleep, slowly.

"Listen, I know that I have been a jerk, but I regret everything I've done! I changed, Dylan! And I wish she realizes that," another voice spoke.

"I'll make sure she knows this."

"When she wakes up, and feels better, meet me at the restaurant downstairs."

"Alright."

"Thank you, Dylan!"
