Penny's POV
I stormed out, slamming the door and crying all the way home. I ran while having a total meltdown from his house to mine across the street. So far, I haven't seen him come out or gotten any texts from him. Whatever. I guess he doesn't even care. It was stupid for me to think that we could go back to normal.

I ran upstairs to my room and put on athletic shirts and an old concert t-shirt. I brushed out my hair and brushed my teeth. In my room, I have a bay window, and I just  sat there staring out into the tree house. My phone laid on the pillows and my head rested on the side of the window. The breeze tickled my face and my eyes were full of tears. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Connor walking up to my window. He sat down and started talking, but I just spaced out and ignored him. I knew he was for sure talking about Dylan considering he said his name so many times. I was blanking out for the entire story, except when I heard Dylan name. It's like whenever I heard it, it gave me a reason to wake back up if that makes sense.

"Penny, Penny, Penny!" I looked up and stared into Connors eyes. He was shaking me trying to get my attention. "You okay? Did you even hear anything I just said?" I shook my head and he sighed. "Ugh. Listen this time."

I stopped him. "No, Dylan can say whatever he wants to me on his own. Look, Connor, I love you, but sometimes you gotta just let me figure stuff out on my own. There's gonna be times when I need your help and other times when I gotta try to figure stuff out on my own."

"Ok, sis, but Dylan really wants to talk to you so you should go see him."

"Jeez, Connor I swear you don't hear anything I say. I said Dylan can talk to me when he wants to. He can come to me."

"Ok, ok. I'm gonna go back over there and get everyone. Goodnight. Love you."

I smiled, knowing my brother will always have my back. "Goodnight. Love ya." I walk over and hug him. I see him run down the stairs and outside the door.

Ok, so maybe Dylan and I won't go back to normal, but I really want us to still stay friends. He means so much to me and I know that everything will be ok, hopefully. We just need some time a part for now and I'll see him at school tomorrow anyways so we can talk then.
