"You don't understand, do you?" Reid asked suddenly. Dylan was almost to her car but she stopped in her tracks. She turned around and saw Reid walking towards her.
"You don't even know what I've been through because of you." Reid said with no trace of anger in his voice. "I know you don't believe me, but never in a million years would I ever do anything to hurt you intentionally." Dylan stood her ground looking up into his eyes.
"The first time, I saw you was in freshman year," started Reid. "You looked like you were going to bite the head off of anyone who even got near you. You're hair was swept up into a messy ponytail. You were wearing a blue shirt and a white miniskirt. Pogue and Tyler even bet on what underwear you were wearing and made your skirt fly up." Dylan blushed that he even remembered especially about her underwear.
"I watched you everyday, trying to muster up the courage to talk to you. You were always with Brittany and Kira so that made it a little difficult. When I finally had the guts to do it, you were dating my best friend. That hurt like hell, you know that?" Dylan shook her head trying to hold back the tears that were now building up behind her eyes.
"When you broke up, you still didn't notice me. You know you're, the only girl I could never walk up to and say I like you. Then I thought you finally noticed me at Nicky's but then you kept blowing me off. But I still didn't lose hope. I wanted to show you how much I cared for you, but you wouldn't let me." Reid was now crying. Not sobbing but the tears freely rolled down his cheeks.
"I don't know why I kept holding on to you, but I did. It must be the way you scrunch up your nose when you're upset, or the way you laugh like a child, or the way you act like a bitch but still care for the people around you. I see your eyes sparkle when you dance and it made me feel like a million dollars to see that when you looked at me." Dylan was now sobbing uncontrollably. How could Reid Garwin notice so much about her when she only knew he was alive the past month?
"Dylan Amelia Han, I've been in love with you the first time I saw you and have never loved anyone else but you. That's why I can safely say that I would never hurt you, because hurting you is the last thing I want to do in this life."
"But you kissed Kimmy and you even gave her a pretty bracelet that would have looked ten times better on me and then you..." Dylan's bawling was cut off by Reid.
"I didn't give her fuck and she stole that from me! That was supposed to be for you!" Reid cried. "I didn't even kiss her, she kissed me! I pushed her back but you were already running away! Why would I tell you to meet me in your room if I was going to kiss her?"
"That was for me?" Dylan sniffed. Reid nodded as he wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Of course, it was." Reid replied. "I had it made especially for you. I even put your name on the little scroll." Dylan walked slowly to him and put her arms around him.
"I didn't know I could feel this way, but I have to say, I love you Reid Garwin." Before Reid could say anything Dylan kissed him. This time, there was music, fireworks, bells, angels singing, you name it. Every time they kissed, it seemed better and better.

"So this power thing?" asked Dylan. "You can do anything with it? As in anything?" She was at Nicky's with the whole gang. They figured it was a time of celebration since Reid and Dylan were now okay and he survived addiction and whatnot.
"We can't exactly tamper with nature but we can do almost anything else." Reid answered as he popped a fry into his mouth.
"Don't use again unless it's important, okay?" Dylan scolded him. Reid pouted at her and looked up with puppy-dog eyes. "Promise me, Reid!"
"Okay, okay, I promise." Reid held two hands up to show her.
"Who's up for a dance?" Sarah asked as she held a quarter in her hand. Dylan and Kate stood up pulling the guys with them.
"That's your area, why do we have to join?" whined Pogue. The other guys were groaning in reluctance.
"So we can teach you a few moves!" answered Dylan. Sarah picked 'Breaking Dishes' by Rihanna and the girls started dancing while the guys stood at the sides. They pulled them over and made them dance with them. Even Tyler joined in while he danced with Dylan and Reid.
When the dance was finished someone changed the song into 'When You Know' by Shawn Colvin. The others sat back down but left Reid and Dylan to dance.
"I wanted to tell you what I love about you," said Dylan as they danced.
"Oh come on, you're going to ruin my reputation with all this sweet talk, babe!" Reid said as he nuzzled her neck.
"You're the one who started it!" replied Dylan. "Now let me start." Reid groaned and nodded but secretly loved it.
"Your smirk, I think it's cute how it can make every girl except me fall for you. Your eyes, I love how I can see past the mischief and see the real Reid. Your touch, it makes me feel safe. Your love for your friends, I think that's the most important thing in this world besides family. Your smile, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen especially knowing that I'm the only one who can make you smile. Those are the reasons why I love you Reid. There's a lot more but right now, all I want to do is kiss you." Reid smiled and slowly went in to kiss Dylan. They stopped to see and hear their friends whooping and cheering them on. They just shook their heads and kissed again until the song ended.
