The Bump {Book One}

Chapter 23

Dylan’s POV

I woke up to see Andrea closing the door behind her as she entered, “Oh no, did I wake you?” I chuckled, “Yeah but don’t worry.” I got out of bed and walked over to the bathroom taking some clothes with me. When I finished getting ready I walked back in the room but Matt had already left. I looked over to Andrea, “Oh he left a few minutes ago to get ready for MAGCON.” I nodded and then made my bed. Once Andrea was ready it was 11:30 and we were supposed to be in our back room right now. Andrea and I took off down the hallway and flew down the stairs towards the back room. We all got amped up to go out on stage, then Bart called us all out.

Later that night once I finished getting ready for bed there was a knock at my door. When I opened it, Susan (my social worker), was standing there. “Dylan I need to speak to you,” she looked past me at Andrea, “Privately.” I nodded and we walked out into the hallway. “What’s going on?” She frowned and showed me her phone… revealing the picture of me and Taylor. “Dylan, when you are put into a home there are rules. You cannot have any type of relationship with a foster brother or sister.” I blurted out “But Susan I was drunk I didn’t even mean to kiss him.” She gasped, “Dylan, this is unacceptable and certainly not a stable home for you, you will be put back into the system and sent to a different home.” This cannot be happening, “No Susan please, you can’t do this to me!” She sighed, “Oh but I can, you are to meet me in the lobby at 2 o’clock tomorrow to be taken back to our building in New York City.” After that, she left, without another word. I ran and once I started I couldn’t stop, I ran up the narrow stairs and pushed the door open. The wind roared and I walked over to a crate and slumped down, my back pressed against it. The view from up here was really nice, I wish I could stay here forever. My phone buzzed, it was Matt:

Matt: dyl where are you?

Me: roof…

About 10 minutes later I heard the door to the roof slam shut. “Dyl what’s wrong? I went to your room and Andrea said your social worker randomly showed up and then you never came back I was so worried.” I looked over at Matt, he was so beautiful I am really going to miss him, “I’m sorry Matt I needed to be alone.” He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer to him, I leaned my head on his shoulder. “Matt I need to tell you something.” He nodded and I explained what happened with my social worker. “No Dylan this can’t happen.” I buried my face into his chest and let myself cry, it was almost impossible not to. We walked back to my room in silence. Bart said the convention would be at 4 instead of 1 since I will be leaving. Around 1:30 I gathered all my bags and said goodbye to everybody. When I got to Gilinsky he picked me up and squeezed me tight, “Keep in touch home slice,” I laughed and kept saying my goodbyes. I got to Taylor and he pulled me into a tight hug and whispered something into my ear “I’m sorry.” When I got to Andrea she hugged me, “I am going to miss you so much,” I let a tear fall, “I’ll miss you too.” I looked back to Aaron, “You better take good care of her.” He smiled and I walked over to Matt. “Hi Dylan.” At this point I was an absolute wreck, he picked me up in his arms and pulled me closer pressing his lips onto mine. I couldn’t let go of him, the thought of losing him killed me, “Matthew Lee Espinosa, my love for you is out of this world… never forget me.” He pulled me in closer and whispered into my ear, “Never.”
