I Hate That I Love You

Chapter 8

~AN~

I made a change to Chapter 2 that will be important for this chapter. If you are too lazy to go back, here it is.

"'You know what, that's fine! I didn't love you anymore anyways!' I am taken aback by his sudden statement. He turns to walk out the front door again, 'And by the way, I lied. I didn't have practice today. I met someone else, and I've been cheating on you with her for months.' He smiles at me sweetly before slamming the door behind him."

~Recap~

I look myself over in the mirror. I think I'm ready. Let's do this.

~Back to the Present~

I descend the stairs ready to talk to Dylan. I turn the corner and see that the kitchen has been cleaned up, and there is a plate of pancakes waiting for me. I make myself some coffee and take a seat. When I take a bite out of the first one, my eyes roll into the back of my head. These are so good. Colton should cook more often.

"Um... Excuse me? Why are you eating my pancakes?" I look up from the plate to see some blond girl standing in front of me. I swallow before speaking.

"Your pancakes? Really? This is my house. Who are you and why are you here?" She looks at me like I'm dumb. I start to take sips of my coffee.

"I'm Britt, Dylan's girlfriend." I spit my drink all over her face and start coughing. She screams and frantically tries to wipe the coffee off her face and clothes.

"Oh my god! You bitch!" As she screams, everyone runs in. Dylan runs over and tries to comfort her.

"Babe, what's wrong?" I cringe at his name for her. She glares at me.

"She ate my pancakes and then spit on me!" Everyone looks at me. Dylan looks angry, Crystal and Tyler look quite amused, and Hoechlin and Colton look scared af.

"Hey, look. It didn't happen the way she's making it sound. I didn't know who she was and I thought these were for me since I didn't get to have any earlier." I look at Britt, "And by the way, I didn't spit on you. I was choking." I turn to Dylan, "What is she doing here?" He won't even look me in the eye. He rubs the back of his neck.

"Uhh.... she missed me and wanted to come down and say hi," he waves at her, "hi." I decide to ask Britt the questions from here on seeing as Dylan is so uncomfortable.

"How long are you staying?" She rolls her eyes then sweetly says two months. Oh my goodness, she is so fake. She is literal plastic. Wtf. "Where are you staying? A hotel nearby?"

"Oh no! My Dilly would never make me stay in a hotel! I'm staying here with you guys!"

"I mean if that's okay with you," Dylan asks after the fact. It's already done, dumbass. I glare at him and in the most sickly sweet voice I can muster I simply say,

"Oh, it's fine. I'm sure we are going to have loads of fun." His eyes say it all. He knows he fucked up. Colton, Crystal, Tyler and I head off to the studio. Dylan is left behind to try to figure out what to do with Britt. It is silent for a while.

"Sooooo... How do you like Britt?" Tyler asks with a smirk as he looks at me through the rear view mirror. I scowl at him and look out the window.

"Awww, come on! I'm sure you guys will like each other a lot," Colton hugs his own body dramatically, "A whole lot." I punch his arm and he pouts.

"Am I the only one who saw how fake she was?" I ask. Thank the Lord for Crystal.

"No, I saw it too. You boys would be stupid to fall for any of her bullshit. Be careful around her." The boys nod as we pull up to the studio. We are rushed straight to hair and makeup. Since Dylan isn't there yet, we decide to film things that don't have him in it rather than wait. We start to film the intro song in pieces. The only one left to do that is Dylan. Next, the scene where Scott was running through the forest and got attacked by a wolf. The next scene was where Allison was meeting Lydia and Jackson. Colton and I were supposed to get close and lovey dovey and all that for this scene to show off that we were together on the show. We were just about to finish when I hear Britt's loud and obnoxious voice ringing throughout the set. She was whining because Dylan wasn't talking to her. Now I see that it was because he was too busy watching Colton and I. Jeff yelled out cut.

"Who is this girl? Get her off my set! She just ruined this perfect take! Security!!" Dylan rushes forward in a panic.

"Wait! She's with me! This is my girlfriend, Britt." Jeff looks between the two disapprovingly before dismissing security. He looks her in the eye.

"Not a peep out of you, understand?" She nods her head and walks off to the snack table. "Take it from the top! And... Action!" We go from the top of the scene, and I can feel Dylan's eyes burning holes through my head the whole time. Jesus Christ, man, take a chill pill. We are only acting.

The rest of the day goes by quickly. There was not another word out of Britt, thank god.

~ One Month Later~

Britt is still here, unfortunately. I was hoping that she would get sick of us and leave early. No one in the house likes her except for Dylan. Though, sometimes I don't think even that statement holds true. Dylan has continued to dislike my scenes with Colton from afar, and we have not talked much. But Colton and I have gotten a lot closer. We spend a lot of time together cuddling and watching movies and obsessing over food together. I think I might be starting to really like him. Like like him.
