An O'Broden Story

Chapter 27 - "You and I"

Hollands POV - Tuesday afternoon

It's been three days since we spent the night together. The most amazing night I've ever had. I remember everything even though I had drinks.

I remember every touch, every kiss and every move. We cried together that night. It was very emotional for the both of us.

I think we were emotional because we didn't know what it meant. That night.

Are we getting back together?

We both obviously still love each other deeply.

I'm still hurting, but I feel a little better knowing Dylan still wants to be with me.

Should I call him? Should I send him a text message? I really don't know what to do.

I haven't heard from him. I want to hear from him.

I want him to tell me how much he wants to be with me.

I want him to tell me we're gonna work it out.

I want him to tell me he loves me.

And I want to tell him the same.

I'm scrolling through my instagram-feed while enjoying a bowl of popcorn on my sofa.

Fievel is lying right next to me.

I see a post Britt posted a few ours ago. It's a picture of her and Johnny on a hike.

The caption says "Nothing like a hike on a tuesday with this guy!" and a few emojis.

I ignore the post and move on. I'm still partly mad because of the whole Shelley situation.

I see Crystal also posted a selfie of her and Darren with the caption "You and I". I smile and like the picture.

Everybody is in a healthy and happy relationship. So it seems, from what I can tell on instagram.

But of course, it's not always like that. I would know. Life is definitely not perfect.

I grab a handful of the popcorn and shove it in my mouth. I chew the big mouthful I just took and keep scrolling in my feed.

Nothing is really interesting anymore.

But then a message pops in the top of my screen from messenger. It's from Dylan.

I jump up from my sofa and look at my phone. I stand there until the notification disappears from my screen.

I'm scared to open it. What is it gonna say?

I open up my messenger app. And I see his name at the top, highlighted.

My stomach twists. When I open it, he will know that I saw the message. I breath in.

I open it.
