A/N: Sorry for the shortness. I know where I'm going with this story but I haven't got the next chapter planned so I wont be updating soon but should be before the year is up.

Enjoy!

Dylan

I wake up to the phone ringing. I glance automatically at my watch seeing that it's 3am. Jesus, who would be calling at this time of night?

I groan but pick up the phone. "Yes?"

"Dylan, hey"

You know when reality comes crashing down on you? When you've been having the time of your life, even though its not going to last long but you kind of forget, and then just with the click of a finger reality has blasted you in the face like a gun going off at you at high speed?

Except for me, this reality is a blessing and a downfall.

"Hi Maddy"

"Well it's been so long"

"How?" I asked her.

"I stole the phone off one of the nurses, that's why I'm calling now so I can put it back and she won't notice"

"And if she does?"

"At least I talked to you" She says it so softly and it hits me right in the heart.

"It's so surreal, I thought, I never get to-"

"I know"

"Maddy I'm so sorry" Tears start to roll down my face. "It was all my fault"

"No it wasn't, don't take the blame for this, I know everyone blames you but you cant see it like that. I was more messed up then you"

"No don't you dare shift the blame to yourself"

"Dylan I should never have gotten involved with you, not the way I am"

"And I was so perfect?"

"Dylan let me finish. I shouldn't have because I know I would end up breaking your heart, but I couldn't help myself. They were already coming for me for a long long time, maybe you helped them come quicker, no you do. But it's not your fault, because I knew the consequences. I knew you would weaken me so the demons could finally get me, but I went straight ahead and got involved with you. I love you Dylan, always have, always will" My heart clenches when she talks about the demons, there not real but to her they are.

"I'm so sorry, it's not like I didn't know what I was doing to. I loved you too much that I couldn't be without you, we were both fucked up, our relationship was fucked up, but through it all we loved each other"

"It has to end Dylan. I, I'm going to get out of her and start all over again somewhere new where nobody knows me. I'm going to go to college and whether I make it or break it, at least I tried. Move on for me Dylan, I want you to fall in love, I want you to if you haven't already"

"Maddy what about what we have?"

"Dylan if you love me you will move on. You know it, that me and you, I cant be with you, and you know you can't be with me"

"I know. There's something out there for you Maddy"

"Bye Dylan"

I drop the phone to the floor and leg it out the house, tears clouding my eyes. I stumble to the ground and wrap my arms around myself, struggling to breathe.
