Dylan's POV
I watched as Alejhandra stormed out of the room, and I heard the motorcycles engine roar to life, but then...I heard a sniff. I felt someone tap my shoulder, I turned around to be greeted by a slap across my face.
"What the hell is your problem? You don't know shit yet you go and judge her." Meghan yelled.
"It's not my fault she is being a bitch. I saw her old yearbook picture, I've heard how she used to act. What happened?"
"You really don't know..." She scoffed. "Well then you better listen up good. So, you know Alejhandra used to be all happy-go-lucky right? That was all because of her boyfriend, Josh. You would never see them without eachother, where one goes, the other follows. They were 'madly' in love, no pun intended. But Josh died some nine months ago, and she hasn't talked since. Everytime someone talks to her, she just ignores them...when I called her house, her mom is very worried to, it seems that every night she has the same nightmare over again. And in the locker rooms, Dylan, I used to see new scars on her arms, then it traveled down her stomach, her back, her legs, her chest. They're through-out her body."
I was speechless, not knowing what to think, or what to feel. I have made one of the biggest mistake of my life... "Fuck..." I muttered under my breath. I got home at around 3 o'clock and called the school right away.
"Sonoma Lincoln Highschool, Ms. Nancy speaking."
"Hello Ms. Nancy? This is Dylan Rome speaking."
"Oh hello dear, what can I help you with?" She asked in a sickly sweet voice.
"I know this is against school rules, but if you can please give me Alejhandra Marninoz's number, that would be great!" I almost begged.
"Why do you need it?" She asked sharply, with still being nice about it.
"I actually need to apologize about something...I said.."
"I will give it to you, but if I find out that you were prank calling her I will be sure to get you suspended, and that's a promise."
"You won't need to do that..."
"Good, now Dylan here it is..."
She gave me Alejhandra's number and I quickly hung up to call her.
"Hello?" She said in a toneless voice.
"Alejhandra?"
"What the hell do you want Dylan?" She snapped.
"Can you hear me out?"
"No" She said then hung up. I called again but it went straight to the answering machine. I hung up and called one more time, this time she picked up.
"Just, leave me alone..." She said in a small voice.
"Just listen to me ok?"
"Fine, I'm giving you five minutes." Alejhandra said through clenched teeth.
"I am insanely sorry for what I said to you, I had no right to go put my nose into your business. I had no right to go and reveal your...secret. And I understand you're angry with me and again I'm sorry."
"How'd you find out?"
"Someone told me. Do you accept my apology?"
"Dylan..." She complained then sighed, "Fine..."
"Now, do you want to hang out?"
"Don't push your limits."
"So is that a yes?"
"As long as nobody see's me." My heart fluttered alive.
"I'll come and pick you up?"
"How about we just hang out at my house..."
"Fine with me, see you soon."
25 minutes later
APOV
I didn't want to accept this, but it seemed like somewhere inside my Josh was in there. Dylan reminded me so much of Josh. But the strange thing is, he was as hard as a rock, his skin felt ice cold and why was he so pale white? His beauty overlapped anything in the world. His flawless features eclipsed everything. I...I can't! No! I can't fall in love again!
