Dream // David Dobrik

{Get Better}

I can try, but sometimes that is not enough,
no, sometimes that is not enough.
And stop calling me out, we're never going to
Put the pieces back together
if you won't let me get better,
and stop digging it up, or we're never gonna
see it all in bloom.

"Please, don't go before I get better." He said
I grabbed his wrists firmly and pulled his arms off of me.
He grabbed my wrist again. I ripped my hand away and faced him.
"I love you." He simply said
I laughed.
"What?" He asked
I shook my head.
"Yeah right." I responded
"I do."
"David, shut the fuck up. You clearly don't, you just tried to fuck me. Just stop. I know you're just saying this so I'll bring you home with me and maybe you'll get lucky. I'm finished. I'm not your fuck buddy." I explained.
This time he laughed.
"You're not serious right? Ava, I would literally do anything for you. I would take all of the stars out of the fucking sky for you. I don't love you because you're down to fuck or you look a certain way. I love you because you're Andrea, the girl that I ran into in Ikea who was the sweetest, most interesting, cutest, bestest friend ever." He explained
"Don't call me Andrea, and 'bestest' isn't a word." I corrected. Crossing my arms.
"Well whatever. The point is, I like you...I love you. And I've been thinking a lot and I know now that I want this." He tried to convince me.
I placed my hands on his shoulders firmly.
I sighed
"David you dork. We both messed up. And I think it's about time you and I let this all go. We can be friends. But I don't like you like I used to. I love you like a friend, and nothing else." I explained, half lying to myself.
He pushed my hands off of him and copied my actions by placing his hands on my shoulders.
"Ava you loser. I know we messed up. One more chance. Please. I'm so cute." He joked
I laughed.
"We're either gonna be buddies or nothing. Friends, take it or leave it." I said holding my hand out for a hand shake.
"Whatever you say you idiot." He smiled
He interlocked his pinkie with mine.
I giggled at how stupid we were.
We walked out of the bathroom and into the living room.
Everyone hung out and talked a little longer. David got in some vlog footage. I haven't been in David's vlog for so long. It felt weird.
I was happy to see that David actually started  to act like himself instead of being on his phone. Perhaps friends is all him and I were meant to be.
After all of us were just sitting down and making jokes it was getting a little late.
"Oh shit it's two AM." David said
"Fuck, Ava we better go home." Brandon said.
David tossed a confused look at me.
"What?" David mouthed to me without the others noticing.
I shrugged my shoulders. Jealousy was written all over him.
"Yeah, I think I'm gonna stay at my apartment tonight." I said
"Okay I'll drive you there before I go to my place." Brandon said getting up and heading toward the door.
I followed Brandon out the door, but before I could walk out David stopped me.
"Can I get a hug?" He asked
I rolled my eyes and wrapped my arms around him. He held me very tightly and for a longer time than usual.
"Bye David, bye guys." I said releasing myself from David's grip and following Brandon into his car.
I got in the passenger seat of Brandon's car and shut the door. He was already in the drivers seat.
Brandon looked at me and smiled.
"What?" I sighed knowing what he was gonna ask.
"So, What happened in the bathroom?" He snickered
I rolled my eyes and laughed.
"We talked and we agreed to stay friends." I explained.
"Are you sure? That hug was pretty long." Brandon teased, starting the car and heading toward my apartment building.
"Yes I'm sure, after he kissed me-" my words slipped and Brandon cut me off.
"Kissed you?!"
"Yeah, but I told him I didn't like him like that anymore." I tried to explain myself.
"That still doesn't justify how and why you kissed him." Brandon laughed.
"Well, he came on to me and I pushed him away, he tried to get me back and I said no. But we agreed to keep our friendship alive instead of pretending we don't exist." I explained.
"Did he try to hurt you?" Brandon asked.
"No of course not." I said
"Good."
We drove and talked some more. Brandon dropped me off at my apartment building. I went into the building, up the elevator and to my apartment like always. It was the first time I had seen my apartment in a long time. I had been staying at other people's houses for months. Memories filled my mind, thank God things got better or I would have cried.
I stretched and rummaged through my dresser for something to wear to bed. As I was looking for a clean shirt I pulled out David's hoodie that he left here months ago. I laughed at myself a little and remembered how much I used to love this boy. I took my shirt off and slipped his sweatshirt on along with a pair of pajama shorts. I pulled my hair into a bun and laid down in my bed, pulling back the comforter and wrapping myself in an ocean of blankets. I was drifting to sleep when I heard a knock at the door.
"What the fuck?" I quietly asked myself while rubbing my eyes.
I tossed the blankets off of me and got up.
I peeked our my door and saw David, sitting on the floor crossed-legged with his phone in his hand.
"David what the fuck?" I said with a yawn.
He giggled like a little kid.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked, opening the door the whole way.
"I'm here to tell you something." He smiled
"Okay, tell me."
He turned his phone screen toward me "In my phone I just wrote 100 things I love about you, I'm here to read that to you." He explained, resting his head on his hand and facing his phone screen toward himself again.
"Okay, do you wanna come inside?" I asked a little confused.
"Nope. I'm not here to sleep here or hook up with you or anything. I just wanna talk." He said
I laughed softly at how dumb and cute he was being. I sat across from him on the floor of my apartment as he sat in the hallway.
"You're stupid." I laughed
"So are you." He chuckled
He scrolled on his phone.
"Okay, I love that you love cuddles.I love that you're smile can light up a room. I love that's even when you're sleeping you manage to be absolutely perfect..." he listed off ninety-six more things he loved about me, until he got to the last reason.
"I love that even after all this stuff we've been through, you wanted to stay because you love me. And I have never been loved like that. And after taking months to become better and realize how lucky I am to have a girl, that one day I believe will be the one and only girl for me, right in front of me. I feel so incredibly fortunate to even get a text from you, even if it's about something stupid. I love you Andy" He teared up a little bit.
"Andy?" I asked on the verge of tears.
"It's short for your name, Andrea." He said
I laughed and wrapped my arms around him and nuzzled my head into his neck. He held me in his arms.
"Can we be more than friends now?" He asked half joking.
I pulled away from our hug.
"David, you know that I love you. But I think we should just stay friends."
