Chapter 5:
Dillon walked into the diner three days later and saw Georgie, Sam, Maxie, and Kyle sitting at a table together. Maxie spotted him first and quickly invited him to sit with them. "Hey Georgie Girl," he said smiling and sitting between her and Maxie.
Sam glared at Dillon. "Don't call her that. She hates it when people call her that."
"I've always called her that, she never told me to stop," he glared back.
Sam looked at Georgie, expecting an answer. She rolled her eyes and said, "I've never said anything because I knew it wouldn't matter. If he knew it annoyed me, he would've done more often." She wasn't about to tell Sam that Dillon was the only person she would let call her that.
"I would never do anything like that to you Georgie!" he said, acting hurt.
Georgie just kept looking at him. "Okay, I would. And actually, I think that's the only thing I'm going call you from now on." He said smiling.
Maxie leaned over and whispered, "I don't think this is the best way to win her back," in his ear. "I know what I'm doing, trust me," he whispered back. "Okay, I'll try, but I'm not making any promises," she whispered before they both started laughing.
"Stop flirting with my girlfriend!" Kyle growled angrily.
"Me flirt with Maxie? Eww." He said. Georgie and Maxie both slapped him as hard as they could. "Ouch, if you would have let me finish, I was going to say that that would be like flirting with my sister."
"Yeah, don't worry about it Kyle. I saw the look on his face. He and Maxie are scheming. Now the question is, what about?" Georgie asked.
"If we wanted you to know, we would have said it out loud!" Maxie spat.
"I thought we weren't going to keep secrets from each other." Kyle said to Maxie.
"Oh, I'll tell you later. I was going to tell you anyway."
"Not fair!" Georgie said, "why does he get to know but I don't?"
"I have my reasons, now can we please change the subject?" she asked.
Georgie picked up her bag and started searching for something; after a minute she pulled out a movie and handed it to Dillon. "You forgot this." He had left To Have And Have Not at her house three nights before.
"Thanks, I was trying not to wake you up when I left and I guess I just forgot it," he told her.
"Wait.trying not to wake her up? Where were you guys?" Sam asked suspiciously. Maxie just rolled her eyes and leaned her head against Kyle's shoulder.
Dillon spoke up before Georgie could, "we were on her couch. I wouldn't have had to try and cheer her up if you didn't make her cry," he glared.
"You don't everything that happened," Sam shot back.
"All I need to know is that when I came to see if she was alright she was on the floor crying!"
Before Sam could respond, Dillon's cell phone rang and he quickly answered it. "What!" he asked angrily.
"That is no way to answer a telephone young man!" the voice on the other end said.
Dillon rolled his eyes, "what do you have to lecture me about now Grandfather? I haven't been arrested or broken any rules in a very long time."
"From what Ned said, I thought maybe you had matured. But I guess that there's no way for the Devil's Spawn to do that!"
"Yes, that's me. Tracey's son. Is there any particular reason you called? I'd like to keep conversations with you down to a minimum."
"There's a family meeting and like it or not, you're family. It starts in half an hour and you better be there!" Edward yelled before hanging up.
"Well my day keeps getting better and better. Family meeting at the Quartermaine mansion, yippee!" he said sarcastically. Georgie laughed, "I could tell, you never could have a civilized conversation with him."
"He stops calling me the Devil's Spawn and I'll stop with the sarcastic remarks. He wont back down and neither will I."
"You know, it's okay to back down sometimes," she told him.
"You know me better than that Georgie, I NEVER back down," he said, emphasizing the word "never" so he was sure Sam knew that he wasn't going to give into an argument easily. "I have to go, but I'll talk to you later. Bye Georgie Girl."
"Hey Dillon, can I talk to you outside first?"
"Sure," he said following her outside. She led him to a place where no one could here their conversation and asked, "Why do you have to fight with Sam?"
"I don't like the guy," he said simply.
"Why not? Dillon, we had a fight. You and I used to have fights that made me cry, but I got over them just like I did this one," she told him.
"That's not the only reason I don't like him," he said.
"Then please share the other reasons with me."
"Maybe it's because I'm jealous. Maybe it's because he's dating the one girl I have and always will love," he said, cupping her face in his hands. "Georgie, my feelings for you never changed. I know we only dated for a few months, but you're the only thing that matters." He looked into her eyes and slowly leaned down to kiss her. His lips we less than an inch away from hers when she turned her head so he softly kissed her cheek.
"Dillon, I'm with Sam now," she whispered.
He let out a deep sigh, "I have to go," he said before leaving.

Dillon walked into the Quartermaine mansion to find everyone gathered in the den. Emily saw him enter and came up to hug him. "I'm glad to see your back," she said smiling. "I'm sorry if you were doing something, but I have an announcement to make."
"Good to see you again Em, now what do you have to announce?" he asked, the smile on his face fake.
"Nikolas and I are getting married!" she said happily.
After many congratulations from the family, Emily turned to Dillon. The two had started to get very close a few months before he moved and he still talked to her regularly. "Nik and I have to get back to Spoon Island because he has some work to do, but I'd really like to catch up with you tonight. There are plenty of extra bedrooms. What do you say?"
Dillon laughed, "are you sure?" he asked.
"I promise, it's no problem. Emily has been bored out of her mind. Go get your things and we'll meet you at the gatehouse in ten minutes," Nikolas told him.
~*~
Meanwhile, Georgie sat at home listening to music. She heard the phone ring and quickly picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hey Georgie, it's Sam. I was wondering if you wanted to go out tonight."
"I'm sorry Sam, I'm going to Donna's tonight." She said remorsefully.
"Oh. Okay, I'll talk to you later then," he replied disappointedly before hanging up the phone.
After about thirty minutes she got in her car and drove to Donna's house.
~*~
Dillon walked into Windermere and looked around. The place was huge and breathtaking. "Come on, I'll show you where your room is. We'll leave Nikolas to work until dinner," Emily said, dragging him towards the hall.
She showed him to the room he was going to be staying in and went to tell the cook that they would be having a guest for dinner. While she was gone, he took out his guitar and started to play a few chords. Emily walked into the room slowly and sat down on the bed. When he stopped playing and looked at her she said, "that was beautiful. Did you compose that?"
"Yeah, I've been trying to find the perfect melody for a song I wrote. I think this is it," he replied. He looked upset about something. He had all day, that's the reason Emily had invited him over. She wanted to know what was wrong.
"So, are you going to tell me what's wrong or am I going to have to pry it out of you?" she asked.
He smiled, "well since I know you're going to bug me until I tell you, it's Georgie."
"What happened?" she asked.
"She has a boyfriend. Right before grandfather called to say that I had to go to a family meeting I had gotten into a fight with him," he explained. "Right before I left she pulled me off to side and asked me why I didn't like him. I told her it was because I still had feelings for her and leaned down to kiss her. I don't know what came over me, I just got this urge to kiss her again, and she obviously didn't get the same feeling because she turned her head before I could kiss her," finished.
Emily looked at him sympathetically and after a few moments, spoke. "The only advice I have is don't give up. I remember seeing you two together. You looked so innocent and you could tell that both of you would give your life for the other. You don't find a love like that everyday Dillon. I know people say that she's too young to know what love is, but I don't believe that."
Dillon smiled as she leaned over and hugged him. Mrs. Lansbury knocked on the door and told them that dinner would be done in fifteen minutes. "Dillon, do you mind if I look at the lyrics you wrote for that melody?"
"No, I guess not," he replied before getting up and taking a notebook out of his bag and flipped to a page. Handing it to her, he said, "I wrote it for Georgie a few nights ago. She doesn't know about it."
Emily read the words on the paper and looked up at her cousin. "This is.it's.wow," she said, amazed at how much emotion he put into the song. "You've got serious talent," she told him.
He smiled and put it back in his bag. "Thanks."
"Come on, let's go to dinner," she said walking towards the door. He got up and followed suit.
~*~
Georgie and Donna had just gotten finished eating and were in Donna's room talking. "So, what's been going on in you're life lately? We haven't talked in weeks," Donna said.
"It has been a long time since we talked. What's been going on? Where do I start?" she asked.
"The beginning would be nice," Donna replied.
Georgie laughed, "Dillon came back Tuesday."
Donna's eyes grew bigger and a look of shock came over her face. "Dillon-as in Dillon Quartermaine? The bad boy you fell so hard for?"
"Yes, that Dillon. He and Sam don't get along very well," she replied.
"What do you expect? Dillon's your ex and we all know your current boyfriend has some major issues."
"I'm not even going to say anything about that comment. Instead, I'm just going to brush my teeth, if you want you can sign on my AOL account." She told her, before going into the bathroom connected to her best friend's room.
~*~
After dinner was over, Dillon sat on the chair beside Nikolas' desk so he could use his laptop to get on the Internet. He quickly wrote e-mail to Georgie:
Dear Georgie Girl,
I was going to apologize for almost kissing you this morning but then I realized-I'm not sorry. The only thing I regret is that I didn't get to kiss your lips. I meant everything I said, I still love you and I won't give up hope that you feel the same way. I'll do anything for your love. After all of this time, you still possess my heart. You're on my mind 24/7 but I want you in my arms. I'll never stop fighting to win back your love.
Yours truly, Dillon
He clicked send right as Emily entered the room, "Nikolas, I know whom we can get to play at the Breast Cancer Charity event," she said excitedly.
Nikolas laughed, "and who would that be? You seem pretty excited about whoever it is you want."
"Dillon," she answered. Dillon had just picked up a glass of water and almost choked when he heard his name. "Me? No way, I'm not doing it," he refused.
"Please. I want you to play that song that you showed me earlier," she pleaded.
"Its not even finished yet, are you nuts?" he asked seriously.
"It's not until next month, that gives you plenty of time," she replied.
"Well, you've just thought of everything haven't you," he replied bitterly. "I guess I need to go work on it then, see you guys later."
After Dillon left the room Nikolas turned to his fiancé, "why are you so eager for him to perform this song at the charity event?" he asked suspiciously.
"Because I just got off the phone with Mac and I know that Georgie's going to be there. He wrote that song for her," she explained.
"You need to stay out of his life. This can backfire so easily, Emily," He warned.
"It won't backfire," she assured him.
~*~
"Hey, I've got mail," Georgie laughed as the mailbox showed a letter sticking out on the top of the tool bar. She opened the letter and read it twice in silence before Donna walked over to see what was wrong.
"Georgie, what's wrong? Who's the letter from?" she asked concerned.
"It's from Dillon," she said getting out of the seat and walking over to the window. "Read it, you'll see what's wrong," she told her.
Donna sat down and read the short e-mail that was written to her best friend. "I guess I'm blind because I don't see how anything could be wrong after you read something like this."
"I have a boyfriend Donna," Georgie said not taking her eyes off the window.
"So, dump him," she answered simply.
"Yeah, I'm just going to dump my boyfriend of over a year because Dillon came back to town and he still has feelings for me," she replied sarcastically.
"Do you know how many girls would kill for a letter like that? Has Sam ever even said anything close to that to you? I think not."
"I don't know Donna. What if he leaves again? I don't think I would be able to handle that. I know that Sam would never leave me-"
"You mean that Sam's stable. He's predictable. Have you ever heard the saying don't settle for the one you can live with...wait for the one you can't live without? Sure you can live with Sam but can you live without Dillon?" she asked.
"I have for two years," she replied coldly.
"Whatever you say, Georgie," she replied knowing that arguing with her wasn't going to do any good.
