julietmay : on our way back to LA hollandroden

~ Juliet

Today is the day we fly back to L.A. We packed all our stuff and are ready to go. We're in the taxi right now. Holland and Max are with Dylan and me. Victoria, Daniel, Shelley and Cody are in one and then Tyler and Dylan Sprayberry are in one.

"We're done for the season, which feels so weird" Dylan mumbles.

"Well, actually, half the season" Holland says.

"True, I heard they're bringing a new character into the next half of the season" Dylan says. Holland nods.

"I heard that too. But we won't start filming for another half year or something"

"That's true, I have to go and film for the Maze Runner in a month" Dylan says. And that's when it hits me. I leave in 2 and an half weeks. I have only 16 more days with Dylan, with Holland and Crystal and all the others. Victoria leaves in like 3 days or something. I have to leave at some point. I completely forget it, all of the time. But I am. I am leaving. I have to go back to my life. To Orlando. To the house my dad was killed in. The house were more things happened. Things I actually forgot about. Things only Victoria knows. I am leaving this great life.

"July?" I look up and see everyone staring at me. I then feel tears on my cheeks. I whipe them away, but Dylan grabs my hand.

"What's wrong?" he asks, softly, while slowly whiping my tears away. I just shake my head. Dylan puts his arm around me and I lean into him. He holds me. Holland grabs my hand and smiles weakly.

"No matter what it is, we're here for you" she says, while Max nods, with the same smile. I smile back at them and just lean my head on Dylan's shoulder. I feel my eyes slowly closing and I feel myself drifting into a sleep.

"July ?" I wake up and see Holland and Max already out of the cab.

"I wanted to carry you, but I was scared I might hurt you while getting out" Dylan says. I smile and nod. I get up and get out of the cab, Dylan following me. We walk into the airport and do everything we're supposed to do. We find the others and we all walk towards the gate.

We're waiting to board the plane, while the boys are getting some food. Victoria and Shelley are in the bathroom and Holland and I are the only ones actually sitting at the gate.

"Do you want to tell me what happened in the cab?" she asks me.

"I understand if you don't, though" she says.

"The only person that knows what's going on is Victoria. I haven't even told Dylan yet" I say. Holland nods and grabs my hand.

"I'm here if you want to tell me"

"I'll tell you, but I want to tell Dylan first, so do you mind if I tell you later?"

"Off course I don't mind honey" Holland says. I smile at her and she kisses my cheek. I giggle and grab my phone. I take a picture and put it on Instagram. The others get back and Dylan kisses me. We are being called to board, so we all walk in.

Dylan and I sit next to each other, next to us are Victoria and Daniel. Behind us are Holland and Max and beside them are Tyler and Dylan Sprayberry and behind them are Cody and Shelley. We take off and the flight will take 4 hours.

Halfway through the flight, I look around us and see Victoria asleep, cuddled against Daniel, who is watching her. He hasn't moved, or atleast, not that I noticed.

"Daniel?" he looks up.

"Don't hurt my best friend, please" I say. Daniel smiles.

"I won't ever hurt her. I really like her. I will protect her with everything that I have" he says. I smile and want to turn my attention back to Dylan, but Daniel says something else.

"I'm going with her to Orlando in a few days. She said that her parents would allow her to stay home alone when they go on vacation if someone stays with her. So I told her that I'd stay with her. I don't have filming to do anyway" he says. I smile.

"That's awesome!" he smiles and looks back to Victoria, who has her head against his chest and her legs on the seat. I smile and look away. I see Dylan opening his eyes. He was asleep as well. He smiles when he sees me looking and grabs my hand. He draws cirlces on my hand.
I think now would be a good time to tell him, you know, atleast now I'm not afraid too.

"Dyl?" he looks at me and frowns when he sees my serious face. I take a deep breath and look around me. Everyone seems asleep. Even Daniel has his eyes closed. I turn back to Dylan and he looks worried.

"So, you know how I kind of started crying in the cab?" he nods, getting a sad expression on his face.

"Well, that is because I realized that I have to go back in 16 days" his face softens.

"But we'll text all the time and I can come and visit you when I'm not filming" he says.

"That's not all. There is a reason I don't want to go back. A reason I actually forgot, for the first time in years"

"What is it baby?" I melt when he calls me baby. But I keep going.

"When I was 16, I went to my first party. I had a guy best friend. He wasn't all that into alcohol and everything and I don't really drink, so I thought I'd be good to go with him. We arrived at the party and there was alcohol everywhere. Popular kids from school got to us and wanted to hand us drinks. I said no, but my friend didn't want to say no. He was obsessed with getting popular and he thought that if he said no, he wouldn't have a chance. So he drank a beer. It didn't seem to hit him that hard. Anyway, after an hour or so, he had 4 beers and he was starting to get drunk. I walked away from him, trying to find a sober person. I found a girl, her name is Victoria. She wasn't drinking, because she was taking medicine. So I talked a while with her. After another hour, I kind of wanted to go home, so I started looking for my friend. I found him completely drunk in the kitchen with the popular kids. I told him I was going home, although my mum asked me not to go home alone in the dark, but I didn't want to stay and he wouldn't have been much help. So I just went home. Halfway through walking home, I heard my name. I turned around and my friend was there. Without any warning, he started kissing me. As you can see I'm short and tiny, so fighting him off didn't help. He went on and went further than kissing. Before he could do to much damage, Victoria found us. She pushed him off and hit him, so he was unconsious She helped me up and walked me home. From that moment I never talked to him again and Victoria became my best friend. He never apologised. I think he didn't even remember when he woke up the next day. Because of that, I hate alcohol and I don't really trust people that fast" I feel tears streaming down my face. Dylan has tears in his eyes as well, but whipes mine away.

"Anyway, it's different with you. I trust you completely. You even were able to make me forget about everything. You made my life so much better. You made me happy. You make me happy Dyl" I say. Dylan smiles and now, the tears fall from his eyes. It's my turn to whipe the tears away from his cheeks. He leans in and kisses me softly. When we pull away, I'm being pulled in a hug. I hug back when I realize it's Holland.

"I'm sorry, but I heard when I woke up. I didn't mean to listen, I swear. But I'm sorry" she whispers. I pull back and smile.

"It's okay, now I don't have to tell it again" she kisses my cheek and sits back down behind us. When I turn back to Dylan, he looks down.

"What's wrong?" I ask him.

"I don't want you to leave. I don't want you to live there" he says. I grab his hand.

"I have to, I still have one year of college" I say.

"Come back after? You can even move in with me. You just need to come back to me" he says. He's super serious. I've neer seen him this serious before.

"Deal. After my exams and after I heard that I graduated, I take the next plane back to L.A and move in with you" I say. Dylan smiles and kisses me once again.
