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

Take me as me.

The days passed, Claire couldn’t stop thinking about Dylan but she was trying to enjoy as much as she could with Josh since he was so nice to her.

Thu, Jun 23th.

-Is something wrong? –Josh asked walking to the balcony where Claire was.

-Nothing –she said looking away.

-You sure? I think you’re still worried about Dylan –he said cheerless.

-What? Why? –she said looking at him.

-I think he’s too jealous—

-Jealous of what? –Claire interrupted exalted.

 -Of you being with me or anyone else, he only wants you for himself –Josh said letting out a sigh.

-We’re just friends –Claire said lifting her eyebrows.

-I haven’t said the contrary but he thinks you don’t have more friends; he wants to spend every single minute with you.

-I don’t think that’s true…

-Trust me he doesn’t even have friends, not even before Brittany so why should he have now?

-What do you know? –she said mad.

-I know how Dylan is, he used to live in the campus in the same floor as me.

-Really?

-Yeah then he moved out because he had some problems with the rent or something.

-Sucks…

-But his parents have money, he just has problems with them because his sister is too perfect, she has perfect grades and she’s studying something valuable, because let’s face it, music and acting for parents is shit.

-How do you know all this? –Claire asked confused.

-I wasn’t friends with him but I was friends with Brittany before they started dating.

-Oh Brittany, great.

-Hey but I’m not friends with her anymore…

-Did you like her? –she ironically asked.

-What? No…It’s not like that, we kind of had a couple of drunken kisses but that’s all—

-Oh great! So you liked her she went to Dylan so you stopped being friends, awesome—

-I didn’t sleep with her if that’s what you’re asking! –he yelled.

-I never asked that but oh well… that’s why you don’t like Dylan then…

-I didn’t even know him, but Brittany told me his personal issues before start dating him, I told her he was a loser but she went to him anyway.

-So she broke your heart.

-She… I…

-How many hearts has she broke?

-Hey she’s not a slut.

-I didn’t say she was… I’m just saying she’s a heart breaker, am I wrong? –Claire said mad.

-She just had this thing… that made me like her, whenever I looked into her eyes… I just… –he looked away.

Claire looked at him for a couple of seconds and then looked away, took a deep breath and let out a big sigh.

-I think I need some air –she said walking to the door.

-Claire… are you mad? –he asked taking her by the wrist.

-I just need a walk –she said walking outside the apartment.
