Torn up. ~Flamingeos Fanfiction

Chapter 136

I was lying down on my hospital bed with headphones stuck in my ears whilst listening to Lana Del Ray. In all honesty I was trying to get Geo off my mind, but all it seemed to do was cause me to not stop thinking about him. 

To my luck my phone began vibrating which meant someone had called me. I was expecting it to be Mario or Ariel, but it was someone who I'd never expect to even get a like on Instagram from. 

There was silence. I was expecting him to say something but he didn't, and for some odd reason I felt too nervous to talk first. So I stayed clutching the phone with my sweaty hand in silence until I could hear his voice and feel the butterflies I felt when I could see him in person.

"You there?"

For some reason there were no butterflies, instead a feeling of excitement. After a few seconds of silence I answered. "U-uh yea." My cheeks flushed in embarrassment when I realised how nervous I sounded. 

"I'm with Isla."

Why is he calling me? I didn't reply, too confused to think of anything. Does he just want to chat? But then why would he? 

"Jack why are you calling me?"

"Oh! Right.. sorry.. me and Isla have decided to go live in America. Is it possible for me to live in your house? Could you live with Geo or something?"

I felt my heart drop and tears fill inside of my eyes. 

"Lucy... are you okay?"

I didn't reply. Instead, I let out a sniff which showed that I was crying. I didn't need to say anything, Jack already knew what was up. 

"That son of a bitch..."

I couldn't help but feel butterflies form into my stomach when Jack expressed his anger to me. He's always been over protective over me, it's comforting to know that that hasn't changed. 

"What has he done this time?"

I went to answer but stopped myself when I saw Acacia stand by my door. I stared at her, trying my best to look calm even though I couldn't help but feel anger, and waited for her to talk. 

"You have a visitor." 

She sounded stern but bored and the look she gave me as she stared into my eyes was anything but happy. She's clearly jealous about Geo and I, but little does she know that we're currently not talking. If she did I'm sure she'd take every opportunity to flirt with him. 

I didn't say anything. I just stared back at her, waiting for Mario and Ariel to come in. 

"I've got to go." I said to Jack. I waited for him to say bye, and then switched my phone off, a rush of happiness flowing through my body over the fact that he called me. He must still care for me then. 

I sat up when I heard footsteps and rubbed my eyes, preparing to give my two best friends a hug and tell them all about me and Geo's drama. 

But they weren't there.

My heart thudded in fear as I gazed upon the reason why I have to spend the rest of this week in the same room, eating the same food and doing the same thing everyday whilst wincing in pain over stupid things. 

I wanted to yell at him about how much I hate him and why he's so sad. But I couldn't, no words came out. Instead I stared at him, not bothering to hide the fear which was filling inside of me. He stared back at me looking moody, and then took a seat next to my bed. I expected him to say something but instead he looked up at me. His moody expression had changed to guilt. 

"Why are you here?"

"We need to talk."

We had both said those sentences at the exact same time. But no one was laughing, not even the tiniest smile appeared on our faces. I usually laugh at those type of moments but not this time. I felt too scared to do so. 

Dylan opened his mouth to talk but hesitated and then stopped. He stared at his feet for a while and then looked back up at me, clearly trying to hold back tears. 

"Do you have a brother?"
