IMPORTANT A/N PLZ READ!
There's a chapter in here... but read the A/N, dont skip it! :P
Sooooooo I'm baaaack. To some of you who are telling me that this story is in no way over... it isn't at least for three more chapters or so. But for those of you who have followed/read this story beginning to end, things are about to get confusing.
Way back when... when I first started this story (like 3 years ago i think it might have been), I added a bunch of stuff that I got from different stories that I thought sounded cool when I wasn't as expirianced as I am now, and really I wrote thinking I'd impress people with what had impressed others in other people's stories... as of now I've realized that I'm never gonna use half the stuff I put in a while ago... things such as:
Angel's dad being a murderer;... does anyone remember this? I had an idea back than, at least I think I did... that went downhill when I left all those months and then came back a year later, and now that's gone so the beginning really is going to have nothing to do with the end... which is a big problem
Max's dad; he was there in the beginning, but I realize I haven't written on him in a really long time... so why keep him in if I'm never gonna use him as a character again later in the story? So yeah... that will change
The band; I thought it'd be cool, put it in, then later tried to put it in again, and then decided it just didn't work out with the general plot and was cliche anyway so yeah
There's probably a lot I didn't catch, but well... you get the point
THIS STORY IS ALMOST OVER!
but... as soon as I write the last chapter, I'm getting styarted on fixing the whole beginning, and making it match up with the end... are we understood?
Alrighty then... on with the story!
Max POV
Dylan, Dylan, Dylan... I have to find Dylan. I have no idea what I'm planning to say or do, but I've got to thank him... He helped me in unimaginable ways, even when it didn't help him.
He must have left the dance early because when Fang and I went back inside, him and Bridgid were no where to be found. But today, I was determined to find him, and since we didn't have school it was going to be especially difficult. My first stop: the resteraunt.
I walked quickly, checking my phone every so now and then to see if Dylan had texted me back, but he hadn't, and honestly I wasn't very suprised. He had to have been absolutely devastated. I wonder if he'd seen me and Fang on the bench last night... a part of me really hoped he didn't.
The resteraunt is just around the corner from first street, on the T-intersection between third and fourth... I'm almost there.
When I walk through the doors, I see an empty resteraunt, and a very rejected looking Molly sitting at one of the booths. I walk over and sit down with her. "Molly, is everything alright?" She looks up with a start. She obviously didn't see me come in and sit down. "Oh, sorry darlin, the cafe is closed for today." She says. She clearly wants me to leave, but I stay anyway. "Molly, where have Dylan and Bridgid gone?" I ask. Molly gives me a pointed look.
I still don't understand, Dylan and Bridgid basically live in this place. Whenever they're not at school or anywhere else, they're here. Molly releases a huge sigh, and stands up. "They went with their father. He picked them up this morning." She grabs a sponge and starts scrubbing at one of the tables. "What?" Left? Without saying a word? "My husband and I are divorced, he lives in Texas. He came into town and stopped by to say hello to the kids, and before I knew it, they were packed and leaving with him." Wow... I can't even imagine. "So it wasn't planned." I say. She shakes her head, and begins to cry. I stand up and embrace her. "Hey, it's ok... they'll be back before you know it. I'm going to miss them too." I can't shake the feeling of my heart dropping from my chest down to my feet. Dylan, gone. I somehow knew that I was never going to see him again.
I say goodbye to Molly and rush out of the cafe to find Fang. I get to his house and without even bothering to knock, let myself in. He's still in his room dead asleep, so being the logical one I am, jumped on top of him and yanked his hair until he woke up.
"Jesus Max, that is not the typical way for a girlfriend to awaken her boyfriend." He said rubbing his eyes. I cross my arms over my chest and raise an eyebrow. He smirks and begins to chuckle.
"What's going on?" He asks. I spill the whole story to him, and watch as his mouth drops a little further with every word. "They're gone? As in never coming back?" I nod and look at him desperately. "It's all my fault." Fang shakes his head and wraps his arms around me. "No, it was their choice."
Dylan POV
I'm not sure if this was the right thing for us to do.
The car ride to My dad's house is about 11 hours. I've been sitting and staring out the window the entire time. Max has called me about six times, and I don't have it in me to face her. I was pretty much mortified after my confession. And now I'm running away... from her, from everything. There is no way I'd be able to watch her and Fang together, everyday for the rest of highschool... no way in hell.
My phone rings again. "You should answer it." Bridgid says. I look down at my phone sitting in my lap, pick it up, and press "talk".
"Hello?" I say. I know my voice is shaking, but I'm trying my best to hide it. "Dylan?" She asks. Her voice sounds sad... which means she probably knows. "Hey Max."
"Dylan where are you?" I put my head down. "In the car, on the way to Texas, with my dad and my sister." I hear her sigh deeply through the phone. "And did you even think of giving me a heads up? After your little confession last night, I thought you would have at least had the guts to come and say goodbye." Well that makes me feel just great. "I'm sorry Max, I didn't know I'd be leaving."
"Yeah... but I called you like a million times, and the least you could have done was answer the phone."
"I'm sorry."
"Fine. I wanted to say thank you for helping me come to my senses last night. It was something that needed to happen and I'm very grateful to have a friend like you." She says. I smile lightly. "I'm sorry Max... could you repeat that? I'm not sure I heard you correctly." She growls. "In your dreams golden boy. Have fun in Texas. If you forget me, I'll hunt you down." She says. Then hangs up the phone." I hit the end key and smile a real smile with teeth, for the first time all day. Forget her? Pffft as if.
Soooo yes, it is short, and filler, but I didn't want to just put and authors note up with no chapter. So I'll see when I can update next, but I've got more stuff going on this summer than I realized sooo we'll just have to see when the next update comes! Love you all! Read and review for me?
