Chapter 17: A Dilmas Miracle

Chapter 17: A Dilmas Miracle

DECEMBER 24:
Dil's P.O.V:

There was a power outage today and I still feel upset. I'm alone but it shouldn't bring me down. I got my guitar and wrote another song. It's still a work in progress but it goes:

Elisa, you hate to Dil
You won't won't bring me down
Let's look for dead Dinosaurs...

Bad lyrics... but I can work with that. I went outside and I saw a few odd rocks in my garden. One of them is an odd fossil that seems broken. Next is another capsule. I opened it and its another strange doll. I placed it in the living room coffee table . The fossil though, I was quite a mystery. I walked to the museum and asked if the local archeologist and it's just an old dinosaur bone. I decided to keep it as its unrecognisable for them.

I decided to look around and suddenly, Elisa, Erica and Summer came to the museum. I was scared so I just looked at art. However, there was no escape. They found me and came to me. But this time, it was more of a cat fight.

"Oh... It's you two" said Erica.

"What do you want Erica?" Summer asked. "Came to bitch at us again?".

"Came to destroy more relationships?" Elisa asked.

"Girls, girl... Please... Calm down" I said.

"Shut up Howlter!" The three girls yelled.

They looked at each other as the three of them agreed on something. But at the same time, they are still against each other. I tried to walk away but they still tried to pull me in. I don't want to be involved... especially if they are the girls I fell in love with... and got my heart broken at the same time.

"So... Why are you in a museum anyway? To continue learning on how to be a bitch?" Summer asked.

"Tell that to girl who tried to cheat with Dil" said Erica. "That's right... I know everything. I can't believe that Dil chicken off like that though. Didn't get a kiss".

I then attacked Erica again but this time giving her more pain. But the two girls pulled me away and told me to run. Run away from the scene. The girls kept on fighting and I tired to slip away. I found a child in the museum and talked with him for a bit. I then flee to the ground floor. I tired to walk away but Summer saw me and called onto me. I was scared and nervous but I can't walk away, I still love her.

"Hey" I said.

"Dil... I'm sorry" Summer said. "I know I've been a terrible girl and I know you're a bit hurt but you have to understand, I struggle and I fear Erica. But I still love you".

I became worried about Summer. At the same time, I need to finally let go of her. If she still fears about Erica... Then I can't do anything as its her demons. I know I'm immune but she isn't and it's something I can't share.

"Summer, I know I still love you but I can't... This can't be going on. If you fear Erica, you need to face it. I can't always protect you and... It's your demons. I know how you feel but we need to face them on our own".

I gave Summer a hug and said my fair well. Summer slapped me on the face and cried. It was hard for me to see her go but I happened. I walked to the cafe and saw a piano. I played a small tune and I got out a small sheet music that I still kept. It was a small song and Dan and Phil wrote it when I was young. I never played it before... Till now. It sounded beautiful and like how it was when my parents played it, but a bit doggy since its my first time. The people in the museum heard me play and they think I'm good.

DECEMBER 25:

Christmas day and I'm all alone. No one with me... No one returned. I posted it online using my phone that I'm alone this year and I decided to just celebrate alone.

Adrian Howell's P.O.V:

I was on a date with Liana Sheppard (aka: Dan's ex girlfriend and the ex neighbour) and we received a Twitter notification from Dil... saying that he's alone this year. We first called him to asked if he was joking but he wasn't. I called my older brother Dan to get some answers out of him. Thank goodness he isn't busy.

"Adrian... What's up?" Dan asked.

"WTF Daniel?!" I yelled. "You leave your son alone for Christmas?!"

"I have work today dude!" Dan said.

"Then why don't you say you have... I don't know... Stomach flu or something?!" I asked.

"Tell that to 16 year old me and I got fired for it ok!" Dan said sarcastically. "And we can't go due to our jobs".

"Wait... Phil is gone too?!" I asked. "That's it... Me and Liana are going to Willow Creek then!"

"We are?" she asked.

"Dylan is alone this year and it isn't fair!" I said.

Preston's P.O.V:
I was out doing my daily morning jog in the neighbourhood and saw Dylan with an odd box in his hands. I noticed that no cars are around so his parents aren there.

"Hello" I said.

"Hi Mr Chappa" Dylan said.

"Where are your parents?" I asked.

"In London. Probably arrive home late" Dylan said.

"So you're alone for Christmas this year?" I asked.

"Sort off.. Yeah... But it's ok though" Dylan said. "It's not that bad".

I jogged off and I felt bad for the boy. He was alone this year and I need to prevent that from happening. I decided to call some of the people from his year group in his school and told them to go over to his place for Christmas. Some didn't want to go but some wanted to. I just hope that young Dil isn't alone...

CHRISTMAS TIME
Dil's P.O.V:
I was just sitting there, watching a Christmas movie in the TV while I just sit here... Alone. Suddenly, I hear a doorbell ringing. I opened it and it was someone familiar.

"Uncle Adrian... Liana? What are you doing here?" I asked.

"We came to celebrate Christmas with you" they both said as they wore their Christmas jumpers, bringing food to the house.

After they went in and closed the door, a foot blocked it. I opened it and it was my old friends.... And Erica. Along with my other classmates in school.

"Merry Christmas Howlter" they cheered.

"What are you guys doing here?!" I asked.

"I know we left you but it doesn't mean we fully deserted you!" Travis said.

"Come on... Let's get this party started!" Misty said.

All of them entered and we played some pop music in the living room, as well as drinking and eating. I mixed some drinks and they were impressed with my skills. It was fun and as we were dancing, I noticed something odd with the figurines from the capsules. They started to glow... Even the one I kept. They have an aura that's being emited and everyone seems cheerful.

Then right when 11pm strikes... Another doorbell. I opened it and it was Dan and Phil.... They came back.

"Oh my god... Dil!!!" Phil cried as he hugged me.

Both of my parents hugged me as they regretted leaving me behind. They apologised and I noticed something their car. Dan Took it out and placed it in my room. It was a new computer and art easel. I didn't care about the gifts though but for the people Who came as this is certainly a Dilmas Miracle.

But when I was partying in the living room, I saw a shady figure outside. It was hard to decipher but that white sweater is really familiar...

... Almost that it belongs to...

... Preston Chappa.
