chapter 12- focus

2/11/18- 14 days until becca funktions

my doorbell rings and i quickly put away all my notebooks from studying (and trying to get all the work i possibly can done so i can spend the most amount of time i can with the boys while they're here) and make my way to the door.
-dyl?- i ask looking through the peep hole. he's holding flowers and wearing a blazer? oh no no no. i take a deep breath and open the door- hi!! you don't uhm- i clear my throat- usually you don't ring anymore you know where the spare key is dylan.
-yeah uhm i do but as you can see i'm not technically dressed like usual today and i don't bear notebooks i actually got these flowers for you- he says, blushing slightly and handing me a bouquet of yellow roses.
-that's so sweet dyl thank you...- i say smiling awkwardly. my phone rings. i peep the notification quickly before saying- what's the uhm...the occasion?

not now b not now.
-i was actually thinking maybe you'd like to go with me to the school dance you know...we're seniors and i really think we've been clicking recently and honestly i couldn't see myself going with anyone else- he says. i can tell it's heartfelt.
as i'm about to answer my phone vibrates once again and i check it discreetly.

I FINALLY GOT A BREAK FROM THE TOUR I WAS HOPING WE COULD FACETIME

-dyl that's incredibly sweet but i'm actually not going to the dance- i answer.
-what? what do you mean? it's our last year and we have finals it's our last chance to loosen up a little bit before the stress begins- he says. i can tell he's getting frustrated.
-i know but it landed on the day prettymuch is coming to canada and i haven't seen the boys in so long i...
-of course- he lets out a sarcastic chuckle.
-what?- i ask, getting offended now.
-so you go and live in an LA fairytale wonderland with zion and then you come back and since you can't have him you play around with my feelings??? i was just your replacement boy toy? jesus bec i busted my ass to catch your attention for the last 5 years and when i finally think i caught it...

REBECCA YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING I MISS YOU SO FREAKING MUCH LETS FACETIMEEEEE

-you think this is just about zion??- i ask him and he raises his eyebrows as a way to say "duh" - please dylan me and zion are, first of all, just friends and secondly this is about all the boys. it's about nick who is incredibly stupid and makes me laugh from miles and miles away the same way he did when we were in the same house. it's about austin who facetimes me while i'm studying to help me out with memorizing techniques and show me his new art skills. it's about edwin who manages to piss me off just as much as he did when he was miles away but still also manages to be the most supportive and understanding boy i know. it's about zion too, yes, because that boy is absolutely my person, he is my person and he is also the only person who i allow to drunk facetime me at 5am to talk about his love life. but also it's about brandon michael lee arreaga that, although being miles away, has been supporting me more than you've ever supported me these past 5 years. he is my rock and without him i wouldn't even be the person i am today. it's also about my mom...my mom likes you hanging around in the house you know that uh?- i ask. i'm teary eyed already and my voice is cracking but damn i don't really care at this point. dylan nods, he looks intimidated and shocked.
-you know why she likes having you here? cause you help out. cause shes a single mom who busts her ass everyday to make sure i can go to college in LA and be next to the boys i just told you way too much about. also cause you give my brother the male figure he needs right now. so yeah it's also about him too. they are all my everything and i am not about to let their support go unpaid for. they are all my family. they need me and i need them. so yes i am missing out on a stupid school dance to go and support and love on the people who do the same for me and i don't regret my decision of doing so..so shut up and leave cause i can't handle this right now i have a facetime call to answer- i say and furiously point to the road in front of my house. dylan looks at me regretfully and i gesture once more for him to leave. he goes away in silence and i close the door behind him and make my way back to the couch. i stare at the mess of books scattered in front of me and i listen to the sound of my phone ringing. my throat closes up and my lungs ache and i feel my entire world spin and spin and spin and there's no focus anymore... everything is just blurry. all i can clearly hear is the phone ringing and all i can clearly see is my phone screen that shows a picture of me and brandon and i take a deep breath and suddenly all i manage to focus on is answering the phone.
