Ms. Popular's Secret

Chapter 15

The sound of the gun shot scared me. I inspected my body while running to Dylan's car to see if I was the one who Marcus shot but there was no sign of blood. I got to the passenger side of Dylan's car and I froze. Oh no I hope Dylan wasn't the one who got shot. I was about to get out of the car but Dylan got into the driver's side and he started driving rather quickly. I heard continuous gun shots hit the back window of the vehicle.

" We need to loose him." I said to Dylan.

"Don't worry he's practically chasing us on his feet there's no way he can catch up." Dylan said as he turned the corner and he started speeding.

I turned around to see that Marcus was no longer chasing us. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn't Marcus shoot you?"

"No thankfully. He missed me by an inch but the bullet did knock down the mail box."

"I'm so sorry Dylan if it wasn't for me we wouldn't be in this mess and--"

"It's okay stop apologizing please."

Dylan took me to the tree house. He said we should hide out here for a while because Marcus knows where he lives and I totally agree. I really missed hanging out with Dylan in the tree house. I remember all those fun times we had here and I couldn't help but smile.

"What are you thinking about?" asked Dylan while pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Oh nothing. I just remember all the good times we had in this tree house."

Dylan smiled " We're only just beginning."

I don't know why but his words made my heart flutter. I know I like Dylan but that's starting to feel like something more. He's been by my side from the day I gained consiousness till now and he never pressured me to tell him what happened but I think it's time I finally gained the courage to speak about it.

"We need to talk." said both Dylan and I in unison

"You go first," I said.

"No its okay you can go."

"No Dylan I insist."

He took a deep breath and he said "Look Jill i've umm had a crush on y-y-yoo-u for years now and umm getting to do this project with you was like a dream come true. I always knew there was something about you that was different from everyone else. When you enter a room you bright up the place. Your smile is so beautiful just like soul. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I um I don't know how to say this but I am i'm in love with you." He blurted out.

I didn't say anything. My face showed no emotion. Dylan was beginning to panic and he started pacing up and down the room.

"I'm so s-s-s-o-o-oo-r-r-rry if i scared you Jill i didn't mean---"

I interrupted him " I'm glad you confessed your feelings for me but I already knew. I heard you confess your feelings for me while I was in the coma. I couldn't move or anything but I could hear you. At first I thought I was dreaming about all this but when I woke up and I saw how relieved you were I knew it was real. And if I'm being honest I have a crush on you too."

"Y-y-you have a c-c-crush on m-m-me," he said while stummering which I thought was cute.

"Yes I have a crush on you."

"Awesome," he said while fist bumping the air. I laughed at his silly antics.

"Are you that excited because I admitted to liking you? or maybe I was just joking, " I decided to tease him.

"Oh I umm uh um sorry I just umm."

I giggled. "I was just joking I really do like you and you need to stop being shy around me sometimes."

He sat down and he wrapped his arms around me. I rested my head on his chest and I felt at peace. Being in Dylan's arms feels like home. I closed my eyes and I drifted into a deep sleep.

When I woke up I looked on the couch hoping to find Dylan but he was gone.

I looked at the wall and I saw a note and it read " I went to buy us some food I'll be back soon."

I decided to do a little cleaning up before Dylan got back. About 5 minutes later I was done and he came with a bag full of gummy worms, popcorn, cotton candy, water and vanilla yogurt all of my favorite snacks. He also bought me a ham and cheese baguette. Dylan and I talked while we ate and I was happy because this felt like home. He was home. I looked at Dylan and his facial expression changed.

"Is everything okay Dyl?" I asked but he didn't respond.
"Dylan," I called once again and he snapped out of his daze.

"Can I um ask uh a question umm"

"Just spit it out."

"Can I umm ask you a question?" He looked really serious.

"Sure."

" Will you be my umm my uhh my girlfr my girl--fri--end."

I chuckled. I knew exactly what he was asking but I decided to tease him " I can't understand you have to speak a little more clearly so I can understand."

He took a deep breath and asked "Will you be my girlfriend? "

I stared at him for a few seconds and his eyes went wide. He was about to say something but before he did I said YES.

"Wait are you being serious?" He asked not really believing I said yes.

"Yes Dylan I will be your girlfriend," I said while I have him a peck on the lips.

-------------- Two Weeks Later--------------

The past two weeks has been amazing. Dylan and I have been happy. We got to know each other more and I finally told him what happened the night I decided to take my life. He was pissed at Kacey but i assured him that everything was fine. We recently went to live at Dylan's house although I was a bit skeptical at first. We were scared that Marcus would find us but Dylan changed all the locks in the house to make me feel somewhat safe. Today was Monday and I hated it even more because I would officially be going back to school. I got dressed,grabbed a banana and Dylan I left for school. When we arrived at school the nerves began to kick in. Dylan assured me that everyone had forgotten about my incident but I highly doubt. I got out of the car and I slowly made my way to the school building. Dylan sensed that I was nervous and he held my hand while we walked inside together.

When I entered the hallway nobody seemed to have noticed me and I was happy. The bell rang and Dylan gave me a kiss as he left to go to his first class. I placed books in my locker and I was headed for my first class when I felt someone forcefully pull onto my hair and I was suddenly pushed against my locker. I fell to the ground and when I was trying to get up I came face to face with the vicious monster.

"Well well well," the monster said while evil smirking at me.
