Family Fanasty Pt One: Found and escape {ON HOLD}

Ch. 9- Final Goodbyes, Final Hellos

          “I’m going to miss you.” Lexy said, we were sitting next to each other in the limo as Sean drove toward the University; the plan had gone successfully, we were going to pick up Dylan, Christain, and Kenny.

          “I’m gonna miss you too, Lex. Just promise me one thing…” I murmured, she nodded and looked at me curiously; I took her hand and squeezed it. “Upload the rest of your Obliviously 2 to Wattpad.” I said, Lexy laughed and nodded.

          “For sure.” She said. The limo stopped and the door opened, Lexy hurried and sat beside Justin; I smiled and shook my head, before any of the guys could come into the limo I scrambled out.

          “Oh, hey Be— Ashley.” Dylan said, catching himself; he handed Ryan Justin’s clothes but stood back to talk to me.

          “Um, so how are the guys?” I asked, we stepped to the building to be out of earshot; Dylan smiled and nodded.

          “They’re okay.”

          “Okay?”

          “Hmm, everyone misses you, I’ll be blunt, and I miss you, a lot. Especially Kim and Kelly. They miss that, female companion to do the girly stuff with them. Y’know, shopping, cooking, nails you know stuff like that.” I nodded then I thought about something, I had something that reminded me of each person in the gang; but no one had anything for me. I held up one finger then I walked to the window and rapped on it, Sean rolled down the window.

          “Pop the trunk.” I muttered, I walked back in time to see he had popped it; I lifted it up then turned back to Dylan, I crooked a finger at him. “Is the address same as always?” I asked when he reached me, he nodded and furrowed his eyebrows.

          “Yeah, 256 Broad. Why?” He asked, I dug in some of my bags before I found what I was looking for. A necklace with a golden chain, a silver locket with a small ruby was attached to it; I flipped it open, a picture of me with Colt before he died was still there. I took a deep breath then I reached up and took out my favorite black diamond earrings, I shut the trunk handed each to Dylan.

          “This is for Kim.” I handed him the earrings. “And Kelly.” I said, handing him the necklace; Dylan looked at me for a moment before nodding, I kissed his cheeks and forehead then we hugged. “I’ll send some other things maybe in a couple of days. Take care of Kim and Kelly, they may not look it on the outside but on the inside they’re fragile and vulnerable.” I murmured the last part in his ear.

          “I will, if I can’t promise Colt something I’ll promise you something.” Dylan said, I looked at him and jumped when Sean honked the horn.

          “What do you mean, what did you promise Colt?” I asked, Dylan looked down hesitating; he fiddled with the necklace then he looked back up at me.

          “I lied to you, about Colt’s death. I… was the one who killed him.” I took a sharp intake of breath. “I, I didn’t mean to Ash, really I didn’t. He was just going on and on and on about how much he loved you and how pretty you were and how he was so lucky to have you. Then I snapped, I jumped on top of him and choked him. I didn’t know I killed him until his eyes were wide open and he wasn’t struggling anymore, I’m sor—“

          “You killed him!” I yelled, cutting him off; Dylan nodded. “And you lied about it for three years!” I accused, Dylan nodded again and tears welled in his eyes. “You know how you snapped, well this is me snapping!” I slapped him hard across the cheek, I pushed past him and climbed into the limo. “Go Sean, now.” I said, my voice cracking. I stared out the window the whole time we drove downtown toward the airport.
