A/N: Oh wow, my longest chapter yet. Merry Christmas everyone.
Dylan
"Where were you today?" I ask Cecilia stopping outside her room where she was lounging on the bed.
"Nowhere please leave I'm busy"
That was the first brush off and then gradually as school closed for winter break she ended up completty ignoring me but without seeming like she is because you know she's good at that. I can only guess she overheard my conversation with Maddy and didn't want to me with a guy still in love with his ex or still fucked up over his ex. But that would make her kind of a hypocrite, right? She still loves Jay, you think that would make us equal.
Me and Maddy were over, for reals, forever. Nick would me so happy when he heard, I remember when he first found out about me and Maddy, he didn't seem to mind much but then again with a sister like Maddy you couldn't be overprotective. He worried for me more but then Maddy was worst then me and everything went fine until that final night. That final night when after everybody hated me, they had a right too I hated myself.
That final night was the worst night of my life… all that blood, I shudder.
"You okay Dylan?" Carlos asks me.
"I'm fine" I stuck the fork in my food and brought it up to my mouth. Cecilia wasn't here again, she was at a friend's where she been most of the break it was a wonder if she'd make it for Christmas day but then her parents wouldn't let her off. They were all having a big family gathering like they always did apparently.
I couldn't wait till Christmas eve because I was going to see my family, Carlos and Kiara set it up for me then told me yesterday, it was their Christmas gift to me and it was the best gift I ever had. I couldn't wait to see my family especially since I had to do some ass-kicking for I found out through facebook- Dylan's brother seems to be going the same way as him, god help us all. Nick's message when I clicked on facebook earlier today, it hurt especially the comments which were worst. I wasn't going to let Rayman go down the path I tred, I just wouldn't allow it.
I'd been, I'd conquered and I'd do anything to take it all back.
"Dylan baby" My mom holds her arms out wide, I run into them.
"I miss you so much" I tell her when we finally break apart.
"I know baby me too" My mom lays her hand on my cheek, I close my eyes. There's no one in the entire world I love more than my mother.
My siblings came bouncing out the house then and completty cover me with hugs and kisses.
"Dyl, ride, ride" Nessie begs me jumping up and down. I sigh and knell down so she could jump on my back.
"God you're so heavy" I tease her.
"Am not" She buries her head in my shoulders her voice muffled.
"Gonna drop yeh" I yell running into the house. She squealed and I laughed dropping her on the couch.
"Good to see you Dylan" Jae stood up from the other armchair.
I nod at him. Jae, my cousin and I didn't get on. He came to live with us when his drug addicted mom went into rehab, except she completty disappeared from his life when she came out so he lived with us full time. It had been so long being the eldest that I wasn't used to much else. The icing on the cake was when I had to go stay with the Anderson's he was full on bitchy and taking my siblings away from me while I could hardly see them.
"Where's Rayman?" I ask the room not seeing him anywhere.
"He's in his room" Lilia tells me.
"Your so tall now" I blink. "You're nearly as tall as me"
"That's because you're a short arse" She grins.
"Hey"
"Dyl can we talk?" Mom brought me into the kitchen shutting the door behind her.
"Yes?"
"Don't talk to Rayman until after Christmas I don't want him in a mood"
"Okay" I nod. "I wish I was coming back here"
"Oh I know Dyl" My mom drew me in for another hug. "How are the Fuentes?"
"There better than the Andersons that's for sure" I sat down at the table. "I've got a girlfriend"
"You have?" Mom spun around. "Dyl that's great"
"Yeah I think I've done something though"
"What happened?"
"I don't know. One minute we were all fine and the next she's not even talking to me"
"Think Dyl" Mom sat down opposite.
"I got a call from Maddy saying that things were over. She could have seen me upset but I-"
"Baby" Mom put her hand on mine and squeezed it.
"The thing is that she's not over her ex either"
"Baby I want you to listen to me, if you really like this girl and she really likes you things will work out. It's fine if you both love someone else as long as it's over because it takes time Dylan, time to truly love one person"
"But I don't think I can ever stop loving Maddy"
"You will baby"
I nod. "Your never wrong mom"
"Its great to have you here Dyl"
Before I start to bawl I go back into the living room.
"Santa's coming tomorrow" Noel yells out as I walk in.
"Is he?" I pick up Noel and place him on my lap as I sit down. "Have you been a good boy?"
"I have, I have"
"Who want's Chinese?" Mom yells out.
Their loud, they can sometimes be annoying, sometimes you want to throttle them, sometimes you want to hug them till they burst and you can have some of the worst arguments in the world with them; Family.
