My brother's ex best friend [COMPLETED]

Chapter 47: Flashbacks

They started fist fighting, I stood up, tears building in my eyes, they fell, I couldn't stop them.

I ran to my room, locked the door, sat on the floor, covering my face with my arms.

Why me?

Why is it so hard for me to love?

"Alex, open the door" Someone banged on the door.

"Go away" I sobbed, "PLEASE"

"I'm Dylan, open the door" He kept banging.

I opened the door, he hugged me, then closed the door, "sister, we stopped the fight, don't worry"

"Why is it so hard for me to love?" I hugged him.

"Alex, let me tell you something" He picked me up, and put me on the bed and cuddled with me.

"Caleb is selfish" I put my head on his chest.

"Let me answer you, love is hard, but in the end, you'll know if it's really love" Dylan sighed, "you have to hold the ones who love you most so closely, cause they'll be there with you"

My eyes got heavy, they started closing.

I slept.

But it was weird, I had a dream but it was real. It happened. It was a flashback

I saw a 7 year old me, holding my mother's hand and here when she told me to be the kindest girl that I could be.

Then, I saw me running, looking for someone to notice me and play with me, in the playground, smiling at kids and adults, hoping someone would invite me to play with them. Even if I'm hurt, I still smile.

Then, I saw an 11 year old me, when I learned that words hurt more than bruises, this is when Caleb called me ugly and fat, he didn't mean it though.

Then, I saw when dad took me to the beach once, and he told me my heart has to be the prettiest thing about me.

I opened my eyes in horror, Dylan shot up, "what's wrong?!"

"What's happening to me?" I sobbed.

"You had a nightmare?" He asked.

"No, but I had flashbacks, I kept remembering things I did before" I answered.

"Bad flashbacks?"

"No, the first flashback was when mom and I went to the park, and she told me be the kindest girl that I could be" i said remembering things, "then I got flashback with dad."

"Sleep, take a rest" he kissed my forehead.

"Ok" I nodded, laying back down.
