My Dream Come True

Chapter 15

"Stop pacing, man." Dylan mentioned as he sat down next to Rob on the bed. Brian had spent all morning pacing their hotel room and checking social media non stop for updates on Bridgette. "Nobody is telling me what's going on. What do you think could have made her faint like that out of nowhere?" There was now panic in Brian's voice. There was a small pause then Rob decided to speak up, "I don't know what actually caused this for her, it could have been a number of things. There is no use thinking the worst."

"Hey where'd Moses go?" Brian thought of asking him to text Tessa, knowing that that's where Bridgette was.

"I think he went to go talk to Tessa," there was hope in Brian's eyes. "I'm going," he shouted as ran out the door. Dylan and Rob didn't even try to stop him anymore, he needed to figure this out for himself.

"So," Rob said turning to Dylan, who got up to shut the door that Brian didn't even bother closing, "Can you explain to me this 'last time' girl to me? What happened that has Holden all worked up?"

Dylan let out a heavy breath as he nodded his head. Dylan knew exactly what happened, and it wasn't a pretty ending for Brian. Dylan sat down on the edge of the bed as he thought of how to go about wording this. "Her name was Marabelle, and she was 20 at the time they met.She was a cute girl, blonde, loved StarKid...your total geeky fan here." Dylan chuckled, he just explained every blonde girl here at the Con.

"Where did he meet her?' questioned Rob. "Not here, the convention in Chicago in 2012."So still LeakyCon?" Rob was beginning to see the pattern that Holden was worried about. "So how serious did they get? I'm assuming pretty good for it to be made this big of a fuse over."

"Well," Dylan shifted in his seat, "It started out at the first day of the con, and we were crowded by fans wanting photos. This girl came up to him, telling him how much he means to her, etc."

Rob could tell Dylan was now stalling to finish the story. "Dylan. What happened?" Rob asked again, this time not looking away from him and with more of a concerned tone. Dylan glanced at the floor in front of him, "She broke his heart."

"But Dylan, what the hell happened?"

*Bing Bing* Tessa was standing in the registration with Bridgette when she felt her phone buzz.

"Hey Tessa, I've been wanting to come by and see Bridgette. I was just gonna come right on in, but I got to the door and froze. What happened last night, Tessa?"

*Bing Bing*

"Brian, let's meet tonight, all by the pool again. She had a panic attack, but not because of you. Just let her feel out the Con today so she's not as anxious. =)"

Tessa had agreed to walk Bridgette around the convention and show her where everything was. Bridgette was feeling better, but she told the girls to go without her to the meetups.

"As ready as I'll ever be..." Bridgette mumbled as she walked out of the bathroom in her Peter Pan cosplay.

"You look stunning, Bridgette!" Bridgette smiled as she grabbed her bag, and they headed out to LeakyCon.
