Best Friend's Brother... (Dylan O'brien)

Chapter 12

Hiya guys :)) Just another update, so don't know what more to say. Hope you like it!! Vote, share and comment... 🌵🌵 (idk why, I just like putting random emojis)

"Hey, Bridget..." I opened my eyes lightly and looked around my bedroom. "Bridget, you up?"

I turned my head around, looked at Dylan to let him know I was up, but put my head right back down by his chest. He chuckled. "What's so funny?"

"You." It took me a minute to respond because I had no clue why he was laughing at me.

"Wh-hat, me? What'd I do?"

"Oh, shut-up. You know I love you." It's cute how confident and conceded he is, but one day he's gonna regret it.

"Ok O'Brien. Wanna go down to the beach?"

"Sure."

"K, go get ready and I'll meet you downstairs in 5." Dylan got his ass up and walked away, closing the door behind him. I got up, fixed my bed, and got ready. I threw on some short shorts, a bikini top, and threw an old surfing tank top over my bikini, which I got from Quicksilver. Finally, I brushed out my hair, fixed my smudged makeup and put on my sandal, since my other foot was in a boot. I grabbed a bag and put my wallet, sunglasses, sunscreen and a book in case I got bored in it. My phone was downstairs, so I grabbed it on the way out when I met up with Dylan.

"Ready Freddie?" I smiled because he was such a goof, but he always made me smile.

"Yep!" We walked out to the car and he drove us down. We didn't wanna walk half a mile down to the beach considering my foot was still in a boot. Everyone else was probably down at the beach, or at the house, but we didn't see anyone at the house. We were at the beach in a quick five minutes.

Dylan grabbed his surf board, while I grabbed my bag. We met up with everyone at the beach. The only people who weren't there was Peyton and Alex. They were probably at the house sleeping, or in the basement playing video games. 

Julia ran up to me and gave me a hug. "Hey girl. I thought you couldn't go down to the beach?"I laughed.

"I mean, I can come down, i just can't get this foot wet since it has the stitches and all." She laughed too since she realized what I said had made sense. 

We both grabbed our towels, and laid them down in the sand. Julia grabbed two lemonades and poured them into glasses. I took a sip of mine, and I think she spiked it. Whatever, we were on vacation and my brothers would only care if I got drunk. 

Dylan was surfing with Spencer, while Colton and Damon were sitting in these chairs talking about these two girls in their psychology class. Julia and I just sat and talked about everything. We just caught up and it was good because I feel like we've been distant lately. I talked about Senior year and she talked about college. She was a sophomore in college. Dylan wasn't taking classes. He was set on an acting career. I haven't really asked him how it's going, but he hasn't really had a big beak yet, so you finish the puzzle.

A few hours passed, which consisted of surfing, laying on the beach, playing a little beach volleyball and a lot more. Everyone was getting tired. It was probably 6 o'clock, and the sunset was about to happen. Everyone was way to tired to stay, so they walked back up. Dylan and I stayed considering we had the car and we weren't down there as long as everyone else, so we weren't as tired.  

Julia left her towel, so he laid right next to me. "Hey Bridget."

"Hi Dylan, what's up?"

"Not much. What about you?"

"Same."

We laughed at each other. I wanted to talk to him about everyone, everything, and just catch up. "Ok Dyl, can we talk? I mean, I know that sounds like me being really serious or like one of those annoying girlfriends who are always like 'where is this going, 'even though were not even dating, but besides that point, can we talk?" 

He smiled. "Sure."

"Ok, well, how are you?"

"I'm doing good. Just kinda living life in the moment, since the whole acting thing hasn't started yet."

"It will, I know it."

"Thanks. What about you? How are you doing?"

"Um, stressed. With this whole foot thing and just everyone being up here at the same time. And school."

"Yeah, I know how you feel about the school thing. It sucks, but trust me, it will be better when you graduate. I know it was way better for me."

"I know, but I still have a long time. It's only the beginning of October."

"It'll go by fast. But, now it's my turn to talk."

"Alright, spill."

"Have you heard about what everyone's been saying about us?" I laughed. I mean, of course I gave. I feel like all our friends base their lives of mine and Dylan's. As cliché as that might sound, it's true.

I looked at Dylan. "Yeah, I've heard."

"What do you think about it?"

"I'm not sure. I think it's just a natural instinct to ignore it and let them think what they want. It's not like it's any of their business with what's going on in our lives, ya know?"

"Yeah, I know. Can I tell you a secret?" I kinda got nervous when he said that.

"Go ahead. You can tell me anything."

"I like it when they talk about us, you know why? Because it means they think we're cute together or that they like the thought of us together. I know I sound really girly right now, but I like when they talk about us. It just means I have a bigger shot at being with you." He looked away and took a sip of his drink. I smiled, and couldn't get it off my face.

"Really?" He turned back and looked at me.

"Really." He laid down, and brought me to his chest. We just watched the sunset until it got dark. I felt safe in his arms. He looked down at me and kissed me on the cheek. We went back home after that. We just talked about school after that and life in general. It was a perfect night, I mean it was, but then we had to go back home after that and deal with everyone else.

Dylan parked the car and we walked inside together. A few people were sitting at the couch and a few were in the kitchen. We only had one more day at the beach. We were leaving tomorrow night and going back home.

Everyone put their money together and we ordered three pizzas. I ate quickly and went upstairs to change into more comfortable clothes. I put on leggings and an old maroon Vans t-shirt. Julia and I stayed upstairs ad watched a movie, while all the boys stayed downstairs and played video games. They came up right when our movie ended, weird. Colton had a board game in his hands. Peyton had another one.

"Ok guys, so, I have a game called 'Obey the Card,' and Peyton has one called 'Battle of the Sexes.' Which one do you guys wanna play?"

Julia answered first. "Well, considering there's more guys than girls, let's play 'Obey the Card."

Everyone agreed. "Ok, make a circle and I'll read the instructions." Dylan sat to my left and Alex sat to my right. Colton started reading the instructions.

"Everyone goes in a circle, one at a time. The current player who's turn it's on draws a card and has to do whatever it says. Cards consist of dares, truths, and random activities."

We all nodded in agreement of the game. Colton went first, and the game started.

Holaaaa! I posted a longer update! Hope you like it. I'll try to have something else up by this week. Remember, vote and comment. Love you! :))) -Gabrielle
