TWISTED // Dylan O' Brien

6 // Big Day

April wakes up at the sound of her alarm, which really annoys her. Today is a big day. She's going to England to visit her family! She hasn't seen them for 3 months, which is really long for her. She's a family person so it was very hard to leave England and move to America. But, here she is, all by herself - and Louise - in an apartment in America. And that's the main reason why she has an English accent which is sometimes a bit weird between all those American accents. Louise is English too. The two of them were best friends even before they moved to America. They did it together.

Because she's not that kind of person that immediatly goes out of bed when her alarm goes off, she takes her phone and checks her social media. And that, is kind of the main reason why she always sets her alarm and hour before she really needs to get up.

After 30 minutes of checking Instagram and Facebook, she decides to get up. She throws her sheets away and puts her feet on the cold ground. She tries to be as quiet as possible because Louise is still sleeping which is kind of normal because it's 3:30am. Louise only gets up on this kind of hours if she needs to pee or something.

April opens the door of her bedroom and tries to close it without making any sound. She tried. But thank god, Louise didn't hear it.

She walks over to the kitchen and puts her phone on the kitchen table. After a couple of minutes of deciding what she should eat, she just went for some toast.

Her parents don't even know she's coming over. The only one who knows she's coming over is her aunt. Her name's Anne. She's so sweet, like really. She's (trying) to keep it a secret for her parents and the other family members that April coming over. But the thing is, she really can't keep a secret. But she promised April to shut her mouth and April trusts her so yeah.

So, when April gets home, she'll tell her about Dylan and Christmas. Because, that's kind of a big deal. She's very young, 22 , so the two girls get along very well. April's cousins are like, between ten and twelve, so I guess she doesn't need to tell them about what happened with Dylan, they'll tell their parents anyway.

When April's done eating breakfast, she puts her now empty glass in the sink and walks over to the bathroom where her clothes already lay down. She undresses herself and puts on her clothes. A black skinny jeans with holes where her knees are paired with a red knitted oversized sweater. For her hair, she just putted it into a bun. Casual, but that's okay. April makes sure she has everything in her suitcase and walks into the living room again.

Before she leaves, she quickly grabs a piece of paper and a pen and writes a message for Louise and Dylan, which she's going to give him right before she leaves. He decided to pick her up at her apartment to bring her to the airport. Very sweet but very awkward too.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed. A message from Dylan.

'I'm here. I'll be waiting downstairs. x' April smiled while taking one final look at the apartment. She lays down her letter for Louise, smiles again and  grabs hersuitcase and closes the door.

She decides to take the elevator because she obviously won't take the stairs where is no light with a suitcase. She's a very clumsy person so that wouldn't be the best decision though.

When she finally arrives - the elevator was even slower than a turtle - she sees Dylan already standing there. April runs up to him and gives him a hug. He turns around, a bit confused, but when he sees April, a smile appears on his face. 'April', he says and hugs me back. 'Let's go', She say to him.

They both walk to his car. April takes a seat and so does Dylan.  He starts the car and, there we go. April felt very nervous. It's been such a long time ago since she saw England again. And damn, she missed that country. Those accents, food but her family are the persons she missed the most.

'April,you're dreaming', Dylan says, laughing while snapping his fingers right in front of her face. 'Oh,sorry, just nervous', she replies and smiles nervously. 'It's going to be okay', he quietly says and grabs her hand. It makes April very comfortable but very uncomfortable too. Because, she still hasn't forgot what happened on Christmas.

She smiles at him and just looks out of the window. 'We're almost there', April mumbles to herself.

'What did you say?' he says and looks at her but then focusses back on the road. 'oh,nothing.' she mumble again.

'You know, I'm going to miss you, Dylan', she says and looks at him. Even though he's focussing on the road, you can see Dylan's smile grow wider.

'I'm going to miss you too, April', he says and quickly sends her a smile.

'We're here', Dylan says. Suddenly, April got even more nervous than she already was.
