Can You Save Me?

Blue Skys or Grey Clouds Part 3

We sat at the dinner table in silence, probably because no one knew where to start the conversation. I was still confused with everything that had happened before I was taken to the hospital and wanted answers or something. I didn't have the guts to start up the conversation because if my shyness so I sat there quietly and at my dinner. Out of nowhere Dylan's dad spoke up and made me look up from my plate because he startled me.

" What do you remember from the other week Bella...?" he cautiously asked.

I sat there silently for about a minute or so, gathering my thoughts, and trying to remember more from the other week, it was mostly all a blur. I had been to quiet for to long and I started to see the worry in Dylan's eyes, so I spoke.

"N-not to much to be honest.." I spoke quietly with shyness in my voice. "I remember coming home and seeing Jarred come out of the kitchen holding a bottle of beer in his hand and I didn't know where my mom was.. then after that all I remember is my head throbbing with pain and being in a cold room... I don't remember anything else... I still have no idea where my mom is or Jarred.." I finally finished and realized there were tears running down my face.

"Are you sure that's all you remember Bella? Nothing else?" Dylan asked me clearly very worried.

I looked down at my hands under the table in embarrassment. I do remember some more but I wish I didn't.

"Bella, what else do you remember?" He put his hand on my arm and I flinched and he removed his hand very quickly.

" h-he.." I paused trying to hold back the tears building up behind my eyes. The burning feeling of tears wanting to pour out of my eyes and run own my cheeks was hard not to think about. I did my best to continue. " He.. he, t-touched me.. before I felt the pain of my head and was in a cold room.. He touched m-me and tr-tried to.." I stopped mid sentence and the tears began pouring out of my eyes uncontrollably. I stood up from my chair and I could feel Dylan trying to reach out for me but I ran up stairs to the bathroom to try and avoid the embarrassment of crying in from of the guy I have the biggest crush on and his father.  I got upstairs and locked myself in the washroom  and tried to stop myself from crying but the harder I tried not to cry, the harder I ended up crying. I could hear A gentle knock on the bathroom door, then a quiet voice.

"Bella it's Dylan .. could you open the door please.." he said in a very non threatening voice. I sat in silence on the floor of the bathroom with my back against the wall facing the door. I stood up and unlocked the door and sat back down on the floor hiding my face in my knees so Dylan couldn't see how my current state was. I was still crying and couldn't stop it. I felt Dylan's body next to me after I heard the bathroom door clothes again.

"Look at me Bella.." Dylan said to me. All I did was shake my head.

"Please... lift your head from your knees then." He told me. I did as he asked but I turned my head the opposite way. I didn't need him seeing me cry even more.

"Will you look at me now?" he asked desperately.

I shook my head once again and sniffled and wiped some more tears from my face. "No, I don't need you seeing me like this. It's embarrassing.." I admitted

He didn't say anything, He put his hand under my chin, while softly turning my face to look at him. I avoided eye contact with him.

"Look at me Bella" I looked up at him and look into his beautiful brown eyes, when he began to speak again. "You look beautiful no matter what state you're in Bella. You're gorgeous in every way and you shouldn't be embarrassed for me to see you cry. You're upset and I want to help you. I can't do that if you try shutting me out. I can't have you shut me out..." He stopped and was still looking deep into my eyes. I felt a tear roll down my damp cheek.

"I'm.. I'm sorry.." I began to cry harder than before and fell into his arms and he held me.

"Shh.. It's okay, everything will be okay. I know it will be." He spoke softly as he rubbed my back as I continued to cry into his chest on the bathroom floor.

Later that night we were watching a movie to get our minds off everything and I felt myself drifting off to sleep, Dylan's dad had gone to bed about an hour ago because he had to wake up early for work, it was around 10:00pm now. I tried fighting to keep my eyes open and my head up but slowly I felt myself lose control of my body and My eyes slide shut.

•Dylan's Pov•
I could feel myself getting tired while watching a movie with Bella. My dad had gone to bed because he had to work early tomorrow morning and it was about 10:00pm now. Bella hadn't said anything in a little while, I think she was getting tired, I should ask her if she wants to go to bed.

"Bel.." I started to speak her name quietly not to wake my dad or to startle her, but as soon as I did, I seen her head gently fall on to my arm and he started snuggling closer to me. I could here her breathing deepen. She must have fallen asleep, like I thought she was tired to. Bella was now snuggled up to me and holding my arm. I looked at her for a few moments. I thought to myself, she's so beautiful why would anyone want to do this to her and give her so much pain? She's so beautiful and strong. She's the closest friend I've ever had. When I thought of her as a friend in my mind, it didn't feel right to me. I don't want her to be my friend.. I want her to be my girlfriend.. I like her, a lot and hate that she's going threw this right now.. Oh boy.. I don't know how I feel about this...
