Hearts Burst Into Fire (Dylan O'Brien / completed)

All the way around.

Sat, Jun 11th.

-Man I’m telling you I’m such a stupid, I’m a stupid –Dylan said distressed.

-Okay… -Tyler said having ice-cream.

-Why didn’t I see it earlier?

-Why are you a stupid again? –Tyler asked confused.

-So you know how me and Claire have been spending a lot of time together right?

-Right…

-Well there are these weird moments between us—

-Awkward or weird?

-Weird like I don’t know how to explain it… -Dylan said scratching the back of his head.

-Okay.

-We went to this party once and we were flirting and teasing and then she tried to kiss me—

-Did you kiss her?

-N-no I didn’t, I walked away.

-Why?! –Tyler asked exalted.

-Because I don’t know I thought I was confusing things, or she was confusing things I don’t know… the point is yesterday at your house she tried to kiss me again—

-And let me guess, you walked away.

-No…

-No?! –Tyler opened his eyes.

-No but I told her we might be confusing things… so… yeah.

-And?

-And now I noticed I actually do have a crush, I like her really really really much.

-Why don’t you tell her then?

-I can’t she will think I’m just playing with her feelings, telling her yes, no…

-You got to be fast cause you know… I think she’s been seeing this Josh dude—

-Josh? How do you know? –Dylan asked wondering.

-Because I added her on facebook yesterday and well… I saw some posts this Josh dude did, I’m pretty sure they already went on a date.

-Oh… -he let out a sigh.

-Maybe you should just ask her about it.

-Yeah and ask her what’s going on with him, right? –Dylan said smiling.

-Are you two fucking kidding me?! –someone said getting inside Tyler’s room.

-Why? –both asked.

-You crashed her heart when you told her “maybe you were confusing things” do you really think she will accept you back just like that? Are you fucking serious? This shit doesn’t work like that, I’m a girl I know what I’m saying—

-But Jill— Dylan interrupted.

 -Shut up and listen, if you want to win her back you got to be the friend, she could be dating someone else but you will be the one who will be by her side always, giving her fucking advices and all, just do what I’m telling you and you’ll do fine, just don’t screw it up alright? Because you’re my friend Dylan and I saw how much you struggled to get that Brittany to be your girlfriend, I never really liked her by the way, you were too much for her. But this girl, Claire is different, she’s a nice girl.

-Thanks Jill… -Dylan said.

-It’s alright, that’s what friends are for –she patted Dylan’s back.

-Thanks –he said again while she walked away.

-She is really one of the guys huh? –Tyler said.

-But she’s still a girl right? –Dylan laughed.

-Right –Tyler laughed too.

They spent a couple of hours playing xbox at Tyler’s, Jill was eating some chips watching them both trying to kill each other in the game and laughing, they were having a nice evening together.

-Should I call her or… -Dylan said after a while.

-No Dylan, just do your shit, on Monday go to rehearsals and act normal, don’t ask her about anything that has to do with Josh, alright? –Jill said.

-Alright…
