Remember Me?

Chapter 12

Dylan's POV

****

"Come on!" Ariana says giggling clearly having a good time.

I should be at home just chilling on this typical Friday night but when it comes to Ariana, she always gets her way.

Always

"Higher!" She yells and I push the swing higher like she asks. Her laughter echoes through the empty park

"Okay that's enough I'm hungry" she says and I stop the swing abruptly. She hops off and snaked her twig like arms around my waist. Damn does this girl eat!?

We sat down on the picnic blanket and she brought out the sandwiches, water bottles, grapes, and some other healthy junk. "Ari, can't we have a burger or something?" I say trying to sound as polite as possible. I sure do not want to get on her bad side

"Babe, you need to eat healthier so you can keep your fit body" she says poking at my abs and I almost glare at her. She sounds like my mother.

She was eating through her turkey sandwich and asking me about the dumbest things. I barely took a bite out of mine. She grabs my arm with her small hands and pulls me up. "I think we should go home now. We could have some alone time and cuddle. Do you want to watch a movie? Oooooh how about the lucky one with Zach efron, he is like so hot-"

"Ari I really don't feel good so I think I'm going to go" I slid my arm out of her tight grip and left without saying another word. I slipped my keys out of my pocket and unlocked my car then hopped in. I could hear Ariana call my name so I turned the music up and pulled out of the parking lot. She'll find a way to get home.

It was 6:03pm so I stopped by Popeyes and had a meal that could actually fill me up. I knew exactly where I was going and noone was going to stop me. My phone buzzed and I took it out to see a text from Chris.

Chris- you coming tonight?

Chris was throwing another wild party while his parents where on vacation in the Bahamas.

Me- I guess yeah

Chris- great! The girls from Lakewood high are going to be their. Maybe I could hook you up

Me- really man? I have a girlfriend

Chris- it's not like you haven't hooked up with another girl while dating Ariana

I didn't reply and Continued driving back to my house. My parents house to be exact

Chris- hey invite that really hot chick you been hanging out with lately. Amanda right?

Me- its Audrey and she's already in a horrible mood from last night

Chris- just ask

Me- fine

I roll my eyes at his careless behavior. Now that's who you call a player.

I pulled up at Audrey's house and finished replying to Chris. The small house Audrey lived in still looked exactly the same. I walked down the short bricked path to her door and rung the doorbell. As I waited I looked down at her welcome doormat. "Hello Dylan, what a pleasant surprise" Audrey's dad stood in front of me, the crinkles in the corner of his eyes meeting as he smiles. "Is Audrey home?" I say trying to sneak a look into the house. "Yeah yeah! She's up in her room, come on in" he pats me on the back and I step into the house for the first time in 3 years.

3 years is a long time. A lot could of happened in 3 years. But still the aroma in the house was the same as it always was, even before Audrey's mom died.
