BLSC #13 : Fall For Dylan Lemiere

Chapter 16 - Won't Hurt

Lauren Hastington

I walked into the room of our house in LA and I'm so glad that I always left some of my stuff behind. I needed now because I didn't bring anything to LA. Before I decided to take a shower, I sat down on the chair on my balcony. I felt so guilty lying to Nial.

I don't know why I didn't think of anything and just texted him that I'm not feeling well. I should've stayed in New York and have a date with Nial. I can't believe I agreed to Dylan in a matter of seconds.

I'm happy being with Nial but there's something missing. It's just weird. Sometimes we do force ourselves to be with somebody when we clearly don't want to be with them. I mean.. it's not that I don't want to be with him. I'm trying but it seems.. useless to try hard for him.

I know I'm a bitch for acting like this but I don't want to make him sad. I canceled our date for a last minutes plans. Which is.. quite crazy.

Being in LA doesn't make me happy either, it's still reminds me of Blane. That's I'm not that enthusiastic earlier. Suddenly someone knocked on the door and Joan came in. I smiled to her and gestured her to sit beside me.

"You okay?" Joan asked.

"Not okay."

"LA means Blane.. still remembers him huh?" She asked and I nodded.

"I lied to Nial.."

"Lie about what?" She turned to me curiously.

"We were going to have a date tonight and I lied to him that I'm sick."

"Why lie? You're the kind of girl who always tells the truth.. why lying?" She asked and I sighed.

"I have this thing for Dylan okay? When Dylan asked me if I want to join his trip to LA.. I said okay without thinking."

"Dylan?" Joan raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah."

"Our Dylan? As in Dylan Lemiere?" She asked.

"Yes." I said.

"Wow.. that's a little bit shocking."

"Oh come on, we kissed and I like it. It's stuck in my head." I pointed at my head and leaned back to my seat completely frustrated.

"So you go out with Nial to make him jealous?"

"No.. I want to distract myself. He doesn't like me.. he won't be jealous." I turned to her and she nodded.

"Lauren.. You can't do that to Nial, it's not fair. It's better for you to talk to him. Besides you and Nial are not dating each other yet so.."

"Maybe I should tell Nial.. anyway.."

"So.. how about Dylan?"

"Well.. he obviously wants me to forget it and he will be with Diana and I try to be with Nial."

"Lauren, that's not how relationship works. Once you have this fireworks.. it won't stop. No matter how many guys you try to distract yourself with.. he will always be the guy who gives you fireworks. It's useless that you're trying with Nial because Nial can't change that." Joan said and I sighed. I looked up to the sky completely feel guilty.

"It's kinda complicated to love someone in our own circle." She added.

"Yeah.. a lot."

"I'll go to my room and have a shower, I'll come here again later on. Mind if I borrow your hair dryer?" She said and I nodded. She walked back into my room and I heard a loud noise. I turned my head and saw Joan left. I got up planning to take a shower again.

Someone knocked on the door and I waited for someone to come in but.. I walked to the door and opened it.

"What are you-"

"Joan said that.. your bathroom door is stuck." I raised my eyebrows and turned to the bathroom door. Oh my gosh.. did Joan..

"Yeah.. I kinda.. uhm.." I said but he walked in. I closed the door and heard a loud noise again. Oh my god.. did Joan do this to lock us inside? What did she even do to the door?

"You did this?" He asked as he kicked the door and it's broken.

"Sorry?" I said and he looked at me disbelief.

"I need to get a.." He said as he walked pass me to the door. He tried to open it but it's locked.

"Wait.. what? Did you lock it?"

"Why would I lock myself, you dumb?" He tried to open the door but it's locked.

"Joan!" He called.

"No use.. she's taking a shower." I said and he sighed.

"Call Matt or.."

"They left to go to in and out.. I was going to sleep." He said and I sighed.

"Let's just wait for Joan, she will come out from the shower later on." I walked towards the bathroom to pt my clothes there. I slipped because the bathroom floor is slippery.. I might have washed my feet there. I fell down and groaned in pain.

"Hey.. you okay?" Dylan ran to me and he ended up falling too. I laughed at him as he ended up beside me. I tried to get up but I might have sprained my ankle. I groaned in pain.

"You hurt?" He asked as he got up and looked at my ankle. He pressed it and I smacked him.

"It hurts!" He put my arm around his neck and he picked me up bridal style. He brought me out from the bathroom and put me on the bed. I sat on the bed with him checking on my ankle.

"Clumsy.."

"Now how am I going to take a bath? Damn it!" I hissed.

"No baths." He said as he sat beside me leaning to the wall. I leaned my head to his shoulder as I looked at my ankle. I tried to massage it but it hurts.

"Why do you always make people around you worried?" He asked and I turned to him. Our faces were so close to each other and we looked into each others eyes.

"People around me? Or you?" I asked in a small tone. I glanced on his lips and then looked back to his eyes. He did the same. He leaned to me closely until our lips almost touch.

"We shouldn't be doing this." I whispered.

"One kiss won't hurt." He said and then he crashed his lips to mine.
