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

Dreams.

Fri, Jul 1st.

Claire woke up and looked next to her, Dylan was nowhere to be found and suddenly he appeared on her door.

-Good morning! -he said smiling.

-Hey... -she said confused.

-Hey I already cleaned the bathroom and I made breakfast -he said embarrassed.

-The bathroom? What happened? -Claire asked even more confused.

-What, you don't remember? -Dylan cheekily said.

-I... -Claire touched her head.

-Where you drunk last night?

-I had a couple of drinks...

-I'm the one who was about to pass out and you're the one who forgets? -he burst into laughter.

-C'mon... refresh my memory -Claire said curious.

-I... -he sat next to Claire.

-You?

-I came here you were watching TV, told you about how Nathan and I got into a fight because he's an ass and then I did a mess in your bathroom throwing up my lungs out.

-Oh... -Claire said looking away.

-I don't know how you fell asleep with all the noise I did though -Dylan said laughing.

-I fell asleep?

-Yeah like a rock, you really have heavy sleep! -Dylan said smiling.

-Oh...

-Well anyway, I should get going I promised Tyler to help him with something...

-Alright.

-See you later -Dylan said kissing Claire's forehead and walking away.

Claire stood there sitting in her bed, looking away confused.

-Could that really have been just a dream or was Dylan trying to confuse me? -Claire thought to herself.

Dylan went to Tyler's and both went to the gym, they were working out when Claire's subject came up.

-You know I've come to a conclusion -Dylan said heavily breathing.

-Which one? -Tyler answered.

-I don't think I like Claire -Dylan said looking at Tyler, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

-What? -Tyler said laughing.

-I've been thinking and I feel so comfortable around her, I know we have chemistry but it's because we spend so much time together... I just don't feel nervous around her anymore if you know what I mean -Dylan said sitting.

-You're completely comfortable with her -Tyler said sitting next to Dylan.

-Yeah exactly like I trust her with my life, like we were family!

-And that means you don't like her? I don't get it.

-I think I'm just confusing things, maybe I did felt something more but now it's just that I love hanging out with her and she's pretty but I don't have the urge to kiss her or hold her hand or I don't know how to explain it.

-You don't think about her as a lover but as a friend.

-Exactly.

-I see your point... you know you've been thinking about this love stuff for so long my head is going to explode, it's summer Dylan let's have some fun -Tyler said smiling.

-You're right-

-Come to Paris with me! -Tyler interrupted Dylan.

-What?

-Let's enjoy the trip, what do you say?

-Oh that's awesome! Sounds perfect.

-Great! Remember we leave on Friday -Tyler said getting up.

-Yeah yeah -Dylan said getting up too.

Claire went to Michelle's and she was packing, she was leaving to Kentucky Saturday morning.

-I haven't had a dream like that in ages -Claire said looking at the roof, lying on Michelle's bed.

-Maybe it's a sign? -Michelle said putting clothes on her bag.

-A sign for what?

-Maybe finally tell him how you feel?

-Are you crazy? I won't ever, ever tell him how I feel-

-Why not? I mean you can't deny the chemistry between you two.

-I know... it's just that I don't know how he would react.

-Maybe he is indeed waiting for it.

-Maybe... you know what, you're right I'm telling him -Claire said smiling.

-See? That's the Claire I like! A confident one, you should have done this a while back though -Michele said laughing.

-I know... -she let out a sigh.

After a couple of hours Claire went home and thought about what Michelle told her.
