You Make Me Strong (a One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 25: Dustin Quinn

Lily's POV

"I need a ride to the airport..." I mumbled

"You are not going anywhere! " Rachel's voice boomed throughout the orphanage

"I need to get to Florida now!" I held my duffle bag tight

"Absolutely not! It's bad enough you snuck off to a concert but then you spent days with guys you didn't even now! No wonder why you don't have a family, you're a little slut!" Rachel's face turned red

Just then Dustin Quinn came down the stairs, Dustin was 17 but he had a reputation for being a rebellious 'bad boy'. Just before he walked out he nodded for me to come as he held his keys up.

"The first family coming in to adopt I'm sending you off right away!" Rachel yelled as I walked out of the doors

"Thanks..." I mumbled as Dustin opened the door to the car for me

"Mind if we stop at Starbucks before the airport?" Dustin stated the engine

"It's your choice, you're in the driver seat...." I held onto my dufflebag

After what felt like hour of awkward silence Dustin stopped at Starbucks

"What do you want? My treat! " Dustin smiled as we walked in

"Um a hot tea with a lot of sugar, if it's not any trouble?" I looked at the ground

"No problem!" Dustin smiled as I sat down at a booth and waited

BEEP BEEP

From: Liam
Lily, text Lou...he keeps treating us like we're you and he's cuddling me. He even had Niall in a wig yesterday just so he could "play with your hair" Help!

To: Peter Pan
You made Niall wear a wig and you're cuddling Liam? Those are my cuddles :( I'll be there soon and when I see you I promise we will cuddle because I need my Peter Pan!

"Who ya textin'?" Dustin slides into the booth next to me handing me my tea

"Louis and Liam." I smiled up at him not thinking that he has no clue

"Louis...he's your boyfriend right? " Dustin sat closer

"How did you know?" I moved away a bit

"Well my room is done the hall from yours and I can hear you crying at night saying his name..." Dustin looked down at his hands

"Oh...I-I'm sorry....I didn't realize anyone could hear me..." I mumbled into my cup of tea

"Hey! It's alright! Everyone misses someone, it's normal! " Dustin put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me close giving me a small yet tight hug

BEEP BEEP

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and Dustin hasn't let me go from the hug

"That's cute!" Dustin pointed at my lock screen which was the picture Riley took of us at the hotel then he got all to excited with an idea "Can I see your phone really quick?! "

"Okay...." I handed him my unlocked phone

He lend closer to me and took a picture then set it as my home screen he then opened the text I got a while ago

"From: Peter Pan

I can't wait! Em is awake now but she can't hear...please hurry she needs you, she's alone, I also need you Wendy..." Dustin read out the text frowning

"That's why you're going to Florida, for your friend...?" He's voice quiet

I nodded and reached for my phone typing quickly

To: Peter Pan
I'm gonna need you when I arrive...

BEEP BEEP

My phone quickly went off

From: Peter Pan
In what context? ;)

To: Peter Pan
You'll find out soon enough

Dustin gives me a questioning look as he reads the conversation

"No no no I'm going to need someone to cry with but I'm trying to put him in a better mood!" I explained

"Whatever you say! Well come on to the airport we go! " he gets up and hold his hand out for me

I take his hand as he helps me up then I grab my tea and walk out to the truck with him. We drove for a while in comfortable silence until I turned on the radio and Story Of My Life comes on.

"Written on these walls are the stories that I can't explain..." I sang out and to my surprise Dustin was singing too

"Secret fan?" I look over at him smiling

"Maybe...what about you?" He questioned

"Yup I'm a directioner!" I smiled a bit more

"I guess I am too..." he mumbled

"Really?" I was shocked

"Yeah...so you and the great Louis Tomlinson?" He changed the subject

"Yeah, I literally ran into him at DQ...it was embarrassing" I blushed

We keep talking about everything that happened and before I knew it we were at the airport.

"You have a ticket?" He looked over

"Yup printed it last night." I pulled it out of my pocket

"Bags?"

"Check!"

"Phone?"

"Check!"

"Want me to come in with you?" He's voice went soft

"If you want..." I grabbed my bags

"I'll take that for you." Dustin smiled putting my bag on his shoulder

"Thanks..." I looked at the ground walking into the giant building "Looks like I have a little big before I board...you don't have to stay."

"I'm staying until you leave!" He smiled
