Dream // David Dobrik

{Long Way Home}

And we can leave this club,
and we can get fucked up.
In the back of the Chevy
girl, I felt your heart beatin' heavy for me.
And I just wanna see you shine
girl, you got stars for eyes.
We can take the long way home
'cause I don't wanna see you go.
Sitting drinkin' whiskey,
hopin' that you miss me.
Baby, say you do,
please say you do.

David's POV

I took a drag of the joint I rolled earlier. Sure I'm not much of a stoner, but I'm in so much pain. I stole this weed from Dom. I felt as if I could melt into the seat of my tesla. Natalie was in the passenger seat. She's been my best friend since forever. Always there for me. The tesla was parked in my drive way. We were about to get food. I inhaled the smoke and blew it out. I covered my mouth and coughed a couple times and tried to pass the joint to Natalie. She shook her head no. I shrugged and took another hit. I coughed some more.
"You really shouldn't be doing that you dumb fuck." She snickered while fanning the smoke out of her face.
"It hurts." I said blowing smoke out of my mouth.
"What hurts?" She asked looking at me with confusion.
"Leaving."
"I thought you wanted to." She said
"Yeah but, I didn't want to leave her." I said
Natalie rolled her eyes at me.
"I tried to tell you." She smiled
"Tell me what?" I laughed
"You love her, you want to be with her. Why not stay?" She asked
"Because." I whined
"Because why?" She dug her questions further.
"We aren't good for each other. I'm emotionally unstable right now. Her career is just taking off. I'm ready to go and she just got here. We aren't the same. Too different." I explained taking another hit trying to numb my feelings.
She shook her head no again.
"What Natalie?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"What even were you guys? Were you guys a messy on again off again shit show? At least that's what you told me." She said
"We were fucking great. She was perfect, I was afraid of loving again. So I tired to convince myself that we were just fucking around and I messed up over and over again. She's gonna do much better with out me." I coughed and threw the rest of my joint out the window. It was making me feel sick.
"David, you're a great guy. Why do you think she came back to you every single time? Ava loves you." She said
Her name ringed through my ears. I cringed.
"Don't say her name please!" I said rubbing my eyes harshly.
"Sorry." Natalie whispered.
I put my hands in my pockets and stared at my car floor, trying not to cry.
There was a long pause before either of us spoke again.
"We fucked. Did I ever tell you that?" I said trying to talk about it to make myself feel better.
Natalie glanced at me with a bit of shock.
"No you didn't." She responded
"Twice." I said
"I thought you said you wouldn't do anything like that again unless you were dating that person." Natalie said.
"Yeah, then I met her."
"She's not bad for you." She said
"I know. I'm bad for her. She's too young." I explained.
"You're right about that. Too young." She agreed.
"Our relationship was the definition of toxic." I said.
"Why'd you ask her out right before this?" She asked
"Thought I could save us. But I got to thinking, and realized we don't fit well together. I would have loved to stay with her. But she would have gotten hurt." I said
"Aren't you hurting her right now?"
"Not as badly as I would have if I stayed. She needs a guy who doesn't do this to her. I'm just a stop in her adventure. I don't wanna be the reason that she wakes up in the morning. I'm not that special." I ranted softly
"Guess not." Natalie let out a light sigh.
The high was starting to hit me. I glanced over at Natalie. I placed my hand on her cheek and leaned in a little too close.
She backed away.
"What the fuck are you doing?" She said pushing my hand away.
"I-I'm sorry. I just... I'm not okay. I shouldn't have blocked everyone." I said
"You need time." She soothed putting her hand on my shoulder.
"I guess you're right." I admitted
"Then do you think her and I could be together? You know? After I get better." I asked
She laughed
"You love her a lot don't you?" She said
I smiled slightly and nodded.

Ava's POV

I crossed my arms and let more tears role down my cheeks.
Dom saw that I was crying and he hugged me again.
"Hey I don't know what's going on or what the hell happened but, it's all gonna be good, okay?" Dom tried to comfort me.
I couldn't feel a thing.
I wrapped my arms around Dom and cried into his shoulder. He wasn't my favorite person, but I needed a person.
I pulled away and wiped my face.
"S-sorry, I-I should've known." I whimpered
"Should have known what?" Alex asked
"That him and I just aren't right together. We were meant to go our separate ways. It'll be good for both of us. But that still doesn't make it any less painful." I explained
"What happened between you too, if it's not too much to ask." Dom said
"We caught feelings for each other too fast. And we started messing around, kissing, cuddling, hanging out everyday. It seemed like as start to a relationship. But he kissed someone at a party. And I was devastated. But of course he apologized and we kept fucking around. And we did that for a few weeks and then he went to Vegas and kissed another girl. And once again he showed up at my door and I forgave him. And now we are here." I explained
"So He was the bad guy?" Dom asked
I snickered a little bit.
"No of course not. I was a little too obsessed with him. I guess I should've given him the space he needed when he asked me to leave and go home by myself last night. Maybe he couldn't stand being next to me all the time and couldn't find a way to tell me. I bet he feels nothing at all. He wants nothing to do with me." I ranted.
They just said nothing and looked at me.
"I think I'm gonna go to that party." I said
"O-okay." Alex spoke, not knowing how to comfort me in my situation.
