Why We Fell in Love

Chapter Fourteen

DING DING

Oh thank god. It's the end of the school day. Today was not so great. I avoided Meghan and Lily all day today and I especially avoided whats his face. I know I shouldn't be mad at him after all that went on yesterday but I was going to confess my feelings for him. I was broken.

"Hey babe," Dylan smirks just as I'm about to go into my car. Oh yeah. I forgot about you. He broke my best friends heart and he actually thinks I'm going to like him. Dick.

"Don't call me babe," I say, getting into my car. He kept knocking on the window so I rolled them down. "What on earth do you want from me?"

"Whoa, feisty... Just how I like 'em" he smirks yet again. 

"Then go make out with Brooke."

He rolls his eyes," she's got her eyes laid on Noah... But I've got my eyes laid on you."

"Like you did with Lily," I scoff.

"Hey, just because me and her didn't work out, doesn't mean we can't-"

"You know what, fine. Meet me at my place in twenty minutes and we can take a walk," I sigh in defeat. I figured if I do something with him, he'll shut the hell up. But this is mainly a distraction.

"I thought we could just jump straight to the sex-"

I didn't need to finish talking to him before I drove off. He's such a fuck boy and I have no idea why I'm wasting my time on him.

Once I arrive home, I took one step out of my car until Brooke is standing right in front of me. Give me a break already. She had her arms crossed and her face was 'serious'. She looked like a duck.

"What the hell are you doing with my babe?" she half yells.

"Which one? The one you use for sex... Or the one you use for sex?" I ask, trying to walk to my front door but she just follows me.

"Dylan you idiot. You two better not be doing anything because he's mine," she snarls.

I scoff," really? Is Noah also yours?"

She smirks," sorry I have the good features you don't have."

"Saggy boobs and an ass smaller than your brain?" I say as she's shocked. "Yeah, I can talk back too. Now I suggest you get the fuck off my property before I call the police for trespassing."

She rolls her eyes before leaving. I'm at the door trying to find my keys before I hear a loud scream. I quickly turn around and see the familiar matte black Audi r8 and Brooke on the ground. My jaw drops. Noah gets out of the car and starts cracking up.

I quickly run over to Brooke and trying waking her up," Noah, call the fucking ambulance!"

He's still standing there laughing his ass off," why? That bitch deserved it."

I glare at him," well you didn't think so when you were making out with this bitch yesterday so call the damn ambulance before I call them myself and send you both to the emergency room."

He seemed intimidated. My job's done. Instead of calling the ambulance, he picks up Brooke in his arms and carry her into his car. Abort mission. Abort mission. His arms are so muscular and they are to die for. Soon, the vroom passes by and he's off. 

I sigh before walking into the house. There's a note on the table... Like there is everyday.

Hey bud, working late again today, order Chinese... Or cook it. Up to you, see you tomorrow morning. Love, Dad

Next to the note was an envelope. One from NYU and one from Princeton. I shake my head before moving them aside. I have no idea what do. That vacation in California sounds pretty nice right now... Snap out of it Abs.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Shit, I forgot about Dylan. I quickly grab my bag before opening the door. Holy fuck. He was wearing a baseball tee, jeans, and high tops. His hair was nicely done and he doesn't smell like beer. I'm stunned.

"Thanks for giving me a chance," he says, handing me a bouquet of flowers that were hidden behind his back. Yay, more flowers. I take them and set them on top of the fireplace for now.

"Did you struggle while getting those?" I laugh, walking out the door.

He scratches the back of his head," I went to the grocery store and there were tons of them so I had this person that worked there help me. It was really awkward."

I smile," thank you though. They're really pretty."

We started walking and I thought to myself that I would've never imagined going on a 'date' with Dylan," I was serious before..." he says as an eyebrow raised. "That part when I said I had my eyes laid on you. Truth is, whether you believe it or not, I had a crush on you since the day someone spilled my chocolate milk on the floor and you gave me yours."

I smile," that was all the way in third grade."

He smiles too," and you remembered."

"Only because we became best friends throughout the whole entire time in elementary school," I explain. "I used to call you Dill Pickle."

"I hated you for calling me that," he laughs, rolling his eyes. "Its no fair because I called you Abstar. You always told me you wanted to be a rock star so I came up with Rock-Star Ab-Star because you know... I thought you were a star."

"The cheesiness in the elementary you," I laugh.

"You're still a star to me," he says, seriously. And to think I thought I was going to murder him on this 'date'. I didn't notice we were gazing into each others eyes.

"Abby, I know you strongly dislike me because of my past with girls. You need to know that no one worked out for me because I wanted you. This crush developed in third grade and its lasted till right now. Nine years Abs. Five of those years were spent together as best friends. But the other four was when I knew something but I pushed it away because I knew you didn't feel the same."

Oh no.

"I love you Abby. And I knew it since the end of middle school that I was in love with my best friend. And you know what made me fall for you. You are beautiful."

I roll my eyes.

"You are beautiful on the outside but the thing is, you're also beautiful on the inside. No one has your personality. I watched you become obsessed with tennis and you're a beast when it comes to the sport. I watched you cry from your anxiety but I've also watched you man up and be brave. I love everything about you."

I feel myself moving closer to him as he does the same. I'm not stopping myself because he had the guts to do something I couldn't. And listening to everything he said, it made me realize that we really were great friends. Even before Meghan and Lily showed up. We were so close to each other, I could feel his breath.

"Oh fuck no!" Noah yells, standing between us and pushing him away. But Dylan looked as if he wasn't affected. He's changed from their last encounter. Has he been working out?

"What's the matter Noah?" Dylan coos.

"You better not lay a hand on her," Noah warns.

Dylan was going to say something but I stepped in," it's not like we're dating," I say, reciting what I said a while ago. "Get over it."

Noah and Dylan were shocked. Why can't people accept that this tiny bitch can talk back?

"Abby, I don't understand," Noah says quieter.

"You know what I don't understand? I don't understand how yesterday you tell me your whole life story and you say that I'm your fucking ray of sunshine but like, a minute later, you and Brooke are having the time of your lives. That's what I don't understand," I argue.

"Ab-"

"And don't you fucking dare tell Dylan what to do. I don't care what your history is with him but I bet he's tired of your shit just like I am. So if you don't mind, I'm going to continue what I was doing before you rudely interrupted," I say before looking at Dylan. I place my hands on his cheeks as we embrace in a kiss. Being honest, he's a really good kisser. I pull away and make my way back home.

You can suck my dick Noah.
