I race to fall asleep with you
to meet you
in the morning
a little more in love each day.David texted me and told me he was outside my apartment building. I walked out of my apartment building and got in the back seat of his Tesla because Jason was sitting in the front with David.
"Hey guys." I laughed
"Hey Dylan." Jason waved while pointing a camera at me.
"Jason she doesn't want to talk to you." David joked with a laugh.
David's camera was sitting on the dash board.
"Hey! I like Jason he's funny." I defended.
"If by funny you mean ugly, then yes." David joked
We all erupted in laughter.
"Why are you so mean to everyone David?" I asked with a laugh.
"I'm nice to you." He said
"Why?" I asked
He took a few seconds before he spoke.
"Cause Jason's old, and you're cool." He chuckled.
"You can't be old and cool?" Jason asked
"Nope." David replied
Throughout the car ride we all laughed and made jokes. We finally made it to David's house. We all got out of the car and went into David's house. Natalie, Jeff, and Corinna were all sitting on the white couch. I knew Jeff from the vlogs but I've never met him.
"Guys I brought Dylan." David smiled excitedly with his camera in his right hand.
"Who's Dylan?" Jeff asked
"Me." I waved with a laugh.
"Oh, are you the girl that got you're phone smashed by David?" He asked
"Yeah." I said
"What so he broke your phone and now you guys are bffs?" He joked
"Yep." David chimed in.
Everyone laughed at the interaction.
"Okay, lets start this movie night guys." David said, turning off his camera and setting it down. I sat next to Jeff, and David sat next to me. Jason sat next to Natalie and Corinna.
Jeff had the remote and was scrolling through different movies on Netflix.
"Shit I can't find my phone." David mumbled to himself while digging in his pockets.
He stood up, grabbed his camera, and went down the hallway and into his bedroom.
I watched the tv as Jeff was reading different titles.
"Dylan, I think we should hang out more. I feel like I barley know you." Corinna laughed looking up from her phone.
"Yeah we should. All of you guys are pretty cool." I said with a smile.
"I can pick you up and we can hang tomorrow if you're down." She offered.
"Sure, you can pick me up from here at like one or something. I'm having a sleepover with Dave and Natalie." I laughed.
"Sounds good." Corinna responded.
We then heard David shout from the other room.
"Jeff! Come help me look for my phone!"
"Can one of you guys go help him, I still haven't picked a movie." Jeff said looking at us.
"I'll do it." I said standing up off of the couch.
I walked down the hallway and opened the door to David's room.
I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my knee cap.
"Ow fuck!" I yelped falling to the floor.
I looked at my knee and it was covered in green paint. He shot me with a paintball gun.
"Dylan I am so fucking sorry! I thought you were Jeff!" David said with concern on his voice.
He hurried over to me with his camera in his hand.
I laughed at the mistake David had made.
He hugged me tightly.
"That hurt like a bitch." I laughed.
Jason ran into the room with his camera.
"Did you just shoot the poor girl for your vlog?" Jason asked quickly.
"I thought she was Jeff." He giggled still hugging me on the floor.
"Are you alright?" David asked
"I'm fine." I said still laughing at how dumb he was.
Him and I both stood up and walked back into the living room. Jason followed us.
"Jeff why did you send Dylan to come help me?" David asked pointing his camera at Jeff.
"Why what happed?" Jeff asked
"He shot her with a paintball gun because he thought it was you." Jason laughed.
"Oh shit, are you okay Dylan?" Jeff asked
"Yeah, still kinda hurts though." I smiled
"I'm so sorry." David hugged me again.
"David is so mean to you." Natalie laughed.
"Yeah but never on purpose." Corinna added with a chuckle.
"Okay lets just watch the movie before David shoots anyone else." Jason joked
We all laughed. David, Jason, and I all sat back down on the couch where we were before. Jeff had selected a movie and began playing it.
We were about half way through the movie. David had started to drift to sleep. He laid his head on my shoulder and rested his arm on me. I thought it was silly, how much he liked cuddles. I was nervous, but I didn't want to make anything awkward between us so I just treated it like it was casual and continued enjoying the movie.
His breathing was soft and slow. Soft was one of the best ways to describe him. He was over worked and it was nice to see him rest for once. His dark messy hair always seemed to be effortlessly perfect. Kissing him was like nothing else. I was almost sad that I wouldn't be able to do that anymore. I soon realized I was no longer paying attention to the movie, but rather David sleeping. I broke myself out of my daydream and tried to watch the movie again.
"David really likes being cuddled huh?" Jeff said
"I guess." I laughed a little.
In his sleep, David pulled me closer to him and held me tighter.The rest of the movie played out and David was still asleep with his head in my lap and his arm wrapped around me. When the movie was over Jason, Jeff, and Corinna all went back to their places.
"Should I wake him up?" I quietly asked Natalie.
"I'll do it." She laughed
She walked over to David and I. She shoved David's shoulder.
"Dave, you gotta edit." She said.
His eyes fluttered open and he sat up slowly.
"Sorry." He apologized for laying on me.
David picked up his laptop and laid it on his stomach and began piecing together the rest of his latest vlog. He scooted closer to me, our shoulders almost touching.
"I'm heading to bed. I'll see you guys in the morning." Natalie said while walking down the hallway to her room.
"Night." David shouted groggily.
He kept replaying a clip and attempting to perfect its timing.
There was just silence for a little bit. The atmosphere was thick with tension. Thinking about what I had done wrong. Thinking about how I was too young. Thinking about how he was too old. The perfect worst timing. The worst perfect timing. Thinking. Thinking. Overthinking.
"You can sleep if you're tired." He said.
"I'll stay up with you." I replied
"Oh you don't have to do that." He laughed a little.
"I don't care, I don't get sleep any way." I said
That awful silence again. It hurt when he didn't respond. At first it was me being cold toward him, and now it's the opposite. It pissed me off. I guess I push people away. I try so hard to make them happy that they get overwhelmed and cut me out.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
I tilted my head in confusion.
"I mean I guess."
"Dylan," he sighed "I'm fucked up from what happened between us. I wish you didn't let me fucking do that." He said, rubbing his face with his hands.
My heart dropped. I didn't want to hear that.
"I didn't mean to dave." I responded
"Okay, whatever. Forget I said anything." He ran his fingers through his hair out of frustration.
"No, tell me. Tell me how this is my fucking fault." I spat out.
"Well it kind of is." He said angrily.
"I know dave, I'm a shitty person. Don't you think I knew that already?"
"That's not what I said. I'm just saying that I'm upset you lied to me. I'm not your babysitter." He said
"I never asked you to be." I defended.
"Well I fucking feel like one when I have a teenager telling me a shit ton of lies." He sighed.
"What's wrong with you? Everything was fine a few hours ago." I said
"Well it's fucking frustrating when a child manipulates you." He argued
"I didn't mean to manipulate you Dave! You know that. You're being fucking stupid." I spoke without thinking.
He slammed his laptop shut and set it next to him.
"I'm being stupid? Dylan you are seventeen years fucking old. And you did shit with me knowing damn well it would look bad on my part. You're a cunt!" He spoke loudly out of anger.
"Okay then I'll fucking leave! And take your stupid fucking phone with you. I stood up and grabbed my bag. I tossed my phone at him and it hit his chest.
I walked toward the door.
"Fine, leave I don't care. But take your phone." He shouted to me.
"I don't need anything from you. I'll just use my old one." I retorted.
"How the hell are you gonna get home dumb ass?" He asked with a chuckle.
"I'd rather walk than ride with you. Just call me an Uber off of my phone." I said.
I opened his front door. I sat with my legs crossed in front of David's front door looking out at his drive way, waiting for an Uber to pull up. It was a bit cold outside. I felt choked up from this whole situation.It had been about fifteen or so minutes and nothing. The front door swung open behind me.
"Get in my car." David said.
I shook my head no.
"Dylan just get in my fucking car so we don't have to see each other anymore." He said.
I stood up and walked to his car and reluctantly sat in the passengers seat.
David sat in the drivers seat and pulled out of the drive way.
"Why'd you let me sit out there for so long." I asked.
He didn't answer me. His dark eyes just peered out the windshield.
"Did you hear me?" I asked
"I left you out there because fuck you." He growled.
I was shocked at the way he was acting. He was so sweet when I met him. I know what I did was wrong and I did fuck up, but I said I was sorry. I just thought he was moving past this. I guess I pissed him off more than I thought. And him being so cold pissed me off too.
"Jesus Christ I didn't know you hated me so much." I replied.
"I don't hate you. I just don't fucking like you." He said.
What he was saying hurt. I really felt he was a good friend and now he hates me just like that? I didn't get it.
The rest of the car ride was silent. Tension was more present than ever that night. He parked in the parking garage of my building.
"Can I come in and get my stupid jacket out of your house?" He asked
"Whatever you want Dobrik." I rolled my eyes as I stepped out of his car and walked toward the elevator with him. Neither of us spoke as we walked out of the elevator and arrived to my floor and into my apartment.
I felt like I was about to cry. I had tried to convince myself I didn't like this guy, but now he despises me? I didn't get it. Now I'm not so sure I even like him at all. I would even go as far to say I disliked him.
