19. Happily ever afters

Dylan POV

I ended up not telling Jake anything. He still didn't know me & Ashton broke off the engagement. He was very confused on why I was crying but I couldn't tell him without saying me and Ashton broke up.

"-your crying because your dog died?" Jake asked. "Y-yes" I said. "Are you sure because-"

"yes Jake! I'm sure my my dog died!"

"Okay I'm sorry" he said hugging me. Which made me cry even more because he cared for me even when I was lying to him. "I'm gonna go use the restroom" he said walking away. I looked down at my phone and Colby was calling.

"H-hello?" I asked. "Hey I saw Jake leave and he said something about you being upset-"

"Yeah I called you but you didn't answer" I said quickly. "Oh I'm sorry, is something wrong did you tell him that you & a-"

"No colby. I didn't tell him that me and Ashton broke off our fucking engagement!" I yelled.

"You what?" I heard a voice from behind me say. I dropped my phone and turned around slowly. Jake was standing there shocked.

"You & Ashton broke off your engagement?" He asked. I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out. "Dylan. W-why didn't you-"

"Because you were so happy!" I screamed finally. He didn't say anything. "You had finally gotten a girlfriend and you two seemed so happy" I said tears falling from my eyes.

He looked down. "I didn't want to tell you because i didn't seem important to you anymore" I frowned.

"Not important to me?" He said walking up to me. "Not important to me?" He repeated. I looked down. "Dylan you are the most fucking important person in my life!" He yelled.

I flinched.

I looked up at him. Tears were filling his eyes. "Dylan I never stopped loving you" he said.

"I wasn't over you." I said blankly. "No matter how much I convinced myself I was happy with Ashton. I knew deep down that I loved you. and when ash proposed" I stopped and bit my lip to stop myself from crying.

"I could only think of you" I said looking down. "I'm sorry" I said breaking down crying. He pulled me into a hug. "Don't be sorry Dylan, you don't have to be sorry" he said rubbing my back. "I didn't know how else to deal with pain" I mumbled. "What?" He asked.

I let go of him and pulled up my sleeve. He looked at my marks on my skin. He lightly grabbed my hand to investigate my cuts. "Dylan-"

"Don't say anything please don't say anything, I don't want you to say anything" I said pulling my hand back.

"I became the old me, the old Dylan" I frowned. "The sad, depressed, stupid fucking Dylan" I crying. He wrapped him arms around me and held me until I calmed down. He didn't say anything until I stopped crying. He just kept stroking my hair slowly.

We sat there for god knows how long. "I'm sorry for stealing your night" I mumbled. He chuckled. "Hannah seems nice" I laughed. He didn't say anything. "Hannah cheated on me" he said quietly.

"Oh my god Jake I'm so sorry" I said looking at him. "Don't be, She was a bitch" he laughed. "She only did it because she said I was still in love with you" he said. "She wasn't wrong" he laughed.

I smiled.

"I called Ashton tonight" I said playing with my hoodie strings. "He was with a girl" I said quietly. "Dylan-

"Then he came over apologizing, I told him to leave-called you, and here we are" I laughed.

He didn't say anything.

"You don't have to stay here and pity me Jake" I sighed getting up off the couch.

"It's crazy" he laughed. "What is?" I asked. "That we both felt the same way the whole time" he smiled getting up.

"What happens now?" I asked as he came close to me.

"Now? Now the guy gets the girl" Jake smiled lifting my chin and kissing me passionately.

-

"Do you think it'll be weird?" I asked Jake. "No they'll be expecting it" she smiled grabbing my hand. "Really?" I asked.

"Yeah they all called it from the start, but of course I didn't agree because I wouldn't expect my feelings" he said. I took a deep breath.

"Don't be nervous" Jake said. "I'm not nervous" I said. "I was talking to myself" he laughed. He reached for the door handle of his house and we walked in. "Guys?" Jake said. "We're in here" Corey said from the living room. We walked in the living room hand and hand.

No one looked up at us. Jake cleared his throat. Sam looked up and his jaw dropped. He hit Colby. Colby looked up. Colby hit Corey. "What?" Corey said not looking up from his phone. "Corey!" Jake said.

He looked up and gasped. "You owe me 20 bucks!" Corey yelled toward Colby. Colby rolled his eyes. "What's all the yelling for-" Devyn said coming down the stairs.

She stared at us. "Yes!" She cheered. "You guys were meant for each other" she gushed. I laughed.

-

and from then on I was actually, genuinely happy. With Jake. Finally. Maybe I'll get my happily ever after.
