Stitched

Chapter Three

(Dylan's POV)

After she thanked me something bad happened. She passed out, and I caught her in my arms. I put her back in my car, and drove home. I kept checking on her to see if she would wake up. I finally got to my house, and took her in.

"Mom, Dad please help me!" I yelled. They came running to me and saw Veronica in my arms. My mom and dad are professional doctors. My mom took her out of my arms, and put her on the couch. My mom started screaming medical things out to my dad.

I was worried. My dad came back with all she asked for. "Hun go upstairs for a few minutes," my mom told me to do. I ran upstairs worrying about Veronica. I went in my room, and paced around my room.

A few minutes passed and they brought her up in my room and laid her on my bed. "She is somehow anorexic," my dad said. "She'll be up in a few hours," my mom gave me the good news. "Okay thanks," I said. They left the room, and I sat beside Veronica taking her hand.

"I'm so sorry," I whispered in her ear. I know she can't hear me, but I don't care. I put the covers on her and I looked at the clock that says 8:32 pm. I got in the shower to smell fresh when she wakes up. I got ready for bed, and I slept on the floor.

The next morning, I woke up and checked on Veronica. I sat beside her, and I took her hand. She woke up, and the first thing she said was, "Thanks for sleeping on the floor, and where am I?" "You're at my house because you passed out when we got to your house," I said. "Oh okay thank you for everything," she said giving me a hug.

I hugged her back. "Breakfast is ready, and is she up?" my mom yelled. "Coming," I said. I helped Veronica up out of the bed, and we both walked downstairs. "Well good morning," my dad said.

"Oh she woke up! Hi my name is Liz and this is my husband Mike," my mom said. "Hi my name is Veronica," she said. "Oh Veronica is such a beautiful name," my mom said. "Thank you," Veronica said. We all made a plate, and ate.

I was happy to see Veronica eat. "Veronica you look like someone I know," my dad said. "Who do I look like?" she asked. "You look like my friend Amber Grey," he said. "Yeah, she is my mom but I can't see her anymore," she said sadly.

"Mike you shouldn't have brought her up because she died two nights ago," my mom said, "I'm so sorry about that." "It's fine," she said. We all fell silent. I was done eating, and I took Veronica's dish and put them in the sink. I took Veronica back up to my room, and gave her some clothes to put on.

"Um you want me to put these preppy clothes on?" she asked. "Yes just do it," I said. I walked out the room, and closed the door. A few minutes pass, and she told me to come in. I walked in, and I saw how beautiful she was in it.

"Wow you look amazing!" I said. "Thanks," she said blushing. We walked downstairs, and my parents left to go to work. "What do you want to do?" I asked. "I really don't know," she said.

"I want to take you to my quiet place," I said. "Um okay," she said. I took her hand, and walked her to my car. When we got in the car I drove off. I put on some Attila for both of us.

We finally got there, but we had to do some walking to get to my quiet place. "Want to know something?" I asked. "Sure," she said. "You're the first person I have ever brought to my quiet place," I said. "Cool," she said.

It took us a few minutes to get to my quiet place, but I stopped her for a minute. "Okay what you're about to see is a secret, you can't tell anyone," I said. "I swear I won't tell anyone," she said. I made her close her eyes. "Open them," I said.

She opened them and said, "Oh my goodness it's beautiful!" she said happily. "Yeah," I said. I went to my bench, and sat down. She sat beside me. We both glazed at the beautiful site of the beach.

"My mom used to take me here when I was little," I said, "but she stopped taking me here and I don't know why." "It's okay," she said, "one day you will figure out." I started thinking that I shouldn't make her try to like me. She was right I am self-centered. I started feeling bad.

"Hey I'm sorry I tried making you like me," I said, "you're right I am self-centered." "It's okay, you're not the first person who tried that on me," she said, "and I'm sorry that I called you self-centered." We fell silent. I looked at the time, and it was 12:03 pm. She made me feel comfortable.

I was happy. I think I like her, but I don't want to tell her. "Well let's leave here and drop you off at your place," I said. "Well can I stay at your place for a while?" she asked. "Yes you can," I said.

We walked back to the car. It took us a few minutes, but then I saw a note in my seat. I picked it up before Veronica could see it. We got in the car, and I drove us back to my house. She fell asleep during the ride.

I didn't want to wake her up so I just unbuckled her, and I took her inside. As soon as I went inside I went upstairs, and put her on the bed. "Wait please don't leave, I have nightmares when I'm alone," she said. "Okay," I said. I sat on the floor.

"No silly, lay beside me please?" she asked. I got up and moved beside her on the bed, and she snuggled up beside me. I could tell she trusted me, but I didn't know if I trusted myself. I looked at her and she was fast asleep. I fell asleep, too.

(Dream) "Where am I?" I asked. "You're in your fantasy, where you can do anything you want here," a voice said. "Oh okay," I said. I imagined that I was at school where I first met Veronica. I saw me, but instead I went into the class where she was.

Nicky walks up to Veronica. "Look you stay away from him, he is mine," she said. "You can't tell me what to do because I don't want anything to do with him thank you very much," Veronica said. "Oh we have a sassy one," she told her posse. Veronica just gave a go to hell look.

"This is your warning, and next time you go near him you're going to wish you hadn't," she said trying to scare Veronica. She wasn't kidding when she said that, Nicky told her to stay away from me. Wait she doesn't want anything to do with me. I was heartbroken. So I imagined that Veronica was there.

"Hey," she said. "So you don't want anything to do with me?" I asked sadly. "That is not true I just wanted Nicky to think that, and plus that was before...

I woke up to a text message. I got out of bed and went to my phone. I got a text from Nicky saying, "Meet me at the park."I sent one back saying on my way. I got everything ready to leave.
