Toxic Devotion

Chapter 34: I love you

Ashley's p.o.v

It's been almost a week, ever since I turned Dylan in. I've been going to school, and dealing with people's bullshit. Gossips and rumors were everywhere now. Dylan isn't just a wanna be bad boy, he's a killer. He dared to kill April right in front of my eyes. And then I start thinking, he lost everyone because of April. She burned his house to the ground. If I was in Dylan's place, I would have did everything in my power to avenge my family. Now I feel really bad, I feel terrible. He's alone, locked in that cell. That's it I'm ditching. I ran out of school making sure no one saw me before I got on my bike and went to the police station.

Sarah's p.o.v

'She ditched tyler' I shook my head taking a seat in the canteen.

'But why? Where do you think she went?' Tyler asked.

'I don't know' I sighed.

'Dylan?' Tyler raised his eyebrows.

'Of course not, I think she hates him now' I answered.

Ashley's p.o.v

When I got there I informed them I wasn't gonna leave before I see Dylan, and luckily they allowed me.

I walked in a room before closing the door behind me. Dylan was sitting on a chair, his hands chained to the table and he was wearing an empty expression.

'I know you hate me, know that I hate myself too after what happened. Look I was mad, and scared. Seeing you that emotionless was frightening honestly, and that's why I sold you out' I explained.

'I didn't ask you to rationalize things' he spoke above a whisper.

'Just tell me how can I fix this?' I asked looking down.

'Some things can't be fixed, I'm stuck here for now ash. But you should know something, I never forget, and I never forgive' his voice was threatening and held every bit of malice.

'You got your payback on April, now everything's over' I sighed.

'Yeah, you're right everything's over for us' he said.

'You don't love me anymore?' I raised my eyebrow.

'It doesn't matter ashley' he shook his head.

'Let me guess, when you get out of here you're gonna kill me too, as a revenge' I shook my head, he just laughed.

'Of course not, you're just not worth it. I won't get my hands dirty for you' he chuckled.

'You're trying to push me away, I get it Dylan. But until I make sure that you really don't love me anymore, I'm not giving up on you' I spoke.

'You're pathetic ashley, I've seen girls like you my whole life, trust me when I tell you this' he smirked.

'Oh really? Well, that's cool, then it's not a problem if I lost my virginity to max right?' Now it was my turn to smirk. His eyes widened.

'You lost your-' he started but I interrupted him saying 'of course not'

'See you do care' I sassed.

'I don't' he laughed. 'But I did once' he added.

'Know that I will be back' I told him.

'And know that I don't give a rat's shit' he smirked.

I walked out and I was about to leave when I ran back in the room and shut the door, Dylan looked surprised.

'You know what? No I'm not leaving. In fact I'm camping here. If you have to go through it than so do I okay? Because I don't care if you're gonna act like you hate me, because you're hurt and I betrayed you. Yeah I betrayed you even though you're just as guilty for killing a person, no matter who they are. I understand you Dylan, or at least I'm trying to understand you. You got under my skin, and there's no way in hell I'm leaving you. You wanna know why? Because I love you, yeah I'm in love with you and your smug arrogant attitude, I'm in love with your adorable dimples when you smile, or that perfect hair of yours, okay not the point now. I love you, just for you. And I don't wanna think about your dark past anymore, not even what happened one week ago. I wanna forget and live, with you' I gasped at the end since my speech was long. Dylan looked up at me as he stared into my eyes.

'I don't wanna burst your bubble but I'm arrested ashley' he said.

'And I don't care, I'll find a way to get you out. I don't know how but I will' I said.

'You can't you dumbass' he rolled his eyes.

'Are you gonna forgive me?' I asked.

'No' he replied.

I walked towards him before planting a kiss on his lips.

'You're abusing me right now since my hands are tied' he laughed.

'Dylan' I said playfully punching him in the arm. 'Ill make a deal with you, if I get you out by tomorrow, you're gonna have to do as I say' I announced.

'Yeah yeah whatever, not that you can' he rambled.

'Deal or not?' I asked.

'Deal' he rolled his eyes again.
