Chapter 66

Jaxton's P.O.V

It was past ten, I was standing outside the cafe Jon had brought Dylan and I to that night after the party.  I hugged myself as I paced back and forth while waiting, I sighed for the hundredth time right before a familiar car stopped in front of the cafe. I sighed again and walked towards the car, the door opened and Raven stepped out. She shut her door with a scowl,

"Finally." I groaned as I made my way towards her.

"Why in the world did you ask me to meet you here? I literally just left you and Dylan's house few hours ago, what's so important that you couldn't say at Dylan's house?" She said and folded her arms.

I sighed. "Look, I'll explain it all okay? Let's just wait for..."

And just then his car drove straight to where we were and parked right beside Raven's car. Jon got out and walked towards us, signing.

"What's going on?"

Raven looked at him and shrugged before looking back at me. "I wish I could answer that."

I rolled my eyes. "Just follow me inside."

"What's wrong?" Jon asked, curiously.

I just turned and walked back into the cafe with them behind me.

"Why are we here? In case you didn't know, I have things to do." Raven said.

"Yeah, I know. But I'm not here cause I want you to be, she does." I said once I got to our table.

They stopped walking, I looked at their confused faces as the two of them exchanged looks.

"Grandma thena?" Raven's brow cocked.

"What is...what's going on here?" Jon asked looking confused.

Athena sighed. "Well finally," just smiled as she looked at them. "At least sit down so we can all talk."

They both nodded and sat on the table and so did I, the cafe was almost empty. There were no much people around and it was perfect and peaceful, ever since Jon brought us here I had been coming here majority of the time cause they had the best food here.

"Um, so...why are we here?" Raven asked, looking right at Dylan's grandmother.

She let out a little sigh. "I know about your best friend, Dylan. His secret that is weighing him down and I need your help with something."

They both blinked, obviously shocked and surprised that she knew but clouded it quickly.

"How can we be sure you know what we know?" Jon asked and raised his brow.

"What is his secret?" Raven asked, keeping a straight face.

Well they are way starter than I am.

She smiled and looked at me. "Jaxton here already filled me in and confirmed my suspicions."

They both looked at me, I blinked severally and shrugged. "I-I mean, I might have said something."

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Raven snapped and looked at Athena with a sweet smile. "Forgive my language."

"Go ahead." She smiled.

She looked back at me with a scowl. "Really?"

"It's not my fault! She manipulated me! You have no idea what this family is like. At. All."

"We're not that bad." Athena shrugged. "Don't blame the kid, I just made him spill it out and he didn't even know I didn't know about it."

"Does Dylan know you know?" Jon asked.

She nodded. "Yes he does, he also told me about Eric and the photo and Henry, that boy he likes."

Raven groaned. "Even his grandmother knows he likes Henry and he doesn't even know it."

I folded my arms.

I know right.

"What do you want us to do?" Jon asked, curiously.

"Dylan's your friend. He's scared of his parents reaction when they find out he's gay and we need to help him cause...my grandson is going through a lot, I'm sure he barely sleeps cause he's thinking of how he's gonna stop that Eric of a boy from posting the photo. I don't want anything bad to happen to him, we never can tell what goes on in his head and what he might have planned."

That scared me and I'm sure it scared everyone on this table, it was cold right now and I was really worrying about him.

"What do we do?" I asked softly.

She looked at me. "The first step is to make him know that he likes this boy that he claims he hates. Henry. We're going to have to make him realize it and confess it to Henry," she said and looked at Raven. "Tonight."

I frowned. "Tonight?"

"How's that possible?" Jon asked.

"I don't think that can happen,"

We all doubted it.

She smiled. "I already did my part, I'm never wrong when it comes to him and he's gonna be thinking about it. If he likes Henry or not and while doing that we have to make him see it that Henry's the guy he craves for. I know my grandson is stupid, but I didn't think he was this stupid to make himself blind and cold not to realize what the hell is going on right in front of him, to ignore the feelings he's having for that boy."

We all exchanges looks.

"We need to help him out then, she's right. If he can finally see what he feels for Henry then coming out won't be that hard." Jon shrugged.

Raven nodded. "He likes Henry. We all know it and even that jackass does and they are both blind and lying to themselves, I think they're both scared or something."

"I've always known he likes Henry but he always has an excuse and says he doesn't." I huffed.

"True." Jon nodded. "I had to make him realize that the reason he looks at me and smiles is because I have green eyes."

I arched my brows, Raven and Athena looked confused as well.

"Henry has green eyes too and it seems Dylan's in love with them." He shrugged.

"Oooh!" I finally understood. "Now I get it."

"That makes sense." Raven nodded.

"And so, you guys are gonna help me help your friend." Athena said with a sigh. "We're going to get Dylan to confess those feelings to that boy, the earlier the better."

"I'm not sure we can help with that, we've tried...a lot. I mean, I've tried. I even gave them shipping names," I sighed, frustrated.

"Well, we need to think of something. Get Dylan out of the house and somewhere around Henry." She shrugged. "I'm pretty sure one of you can think of something in five seconds."

"I d-"

Raven gasped loudly, making us all look at her. "Mark." She smiled.

"Mark?" My brow rose.

"Who that?" Jon asked.

"Mark is one of the soccer players at school, he's popular as well but not like the boys in the football team," she shrugged. "Anyways, he's throwing an all night party and he's friends with Henry which means Henry's gonna be there and so we can take Dylan there, I mean...I didn't want to go for personal reasons but now that's there's a reason to then we can."

Athena smirked. "I knew one of you would think of something, it wasn't even up to five seconds."

"So we're all going to a party?" I folded my arms. "And we have exams on Monday, are you fucking crazy?" I looked at Athena. "Sorry,"

"I lived with Dylan for a long time, you'd be surprised by the amount of swearing that boy does so I'm not surprised."

I looked back at Raven. "No. We have exams on Monday and I have to study and stay away from alcohol."

"Chill out, boy." She sighed. "This is for Dylan, he's done enough favors for us and the least we could do is this for him. You don't need to drink," she shrugged. "We just need to make sure our plan is perfect and works."

She was right, Dylan has done enough for us. Enough for me. I could skip one day of reading to help him even if it's gonna be two days before the exams.

I nodded. "You're right, okay."

Athena smiled. "Perfect."

"One question," Jon rose his hand. "Dylan's probably worried about tomorrow, how are we gonna get him out and convince him to come to the party?"

I scoffed and smiled. "Leave it to me, I've done it before and I can do it again. It won't even take ten minutes to get him to come with me." I smirked.

•••

"Dylan, for the love of God, please!!!!!" I begged while holding on to his leg while he tried walking to his room, dragging me along.

"No Jaxton! I already told you that I'm not going to any shitty party, I've got better things to think of!" He said as he tried moving

"Oh, come on! I have been begging you for twenty five minutes! Have mercy!" I said in a loud whisper.

He stopped walking with a sigh and looked down at me. "You have two seconds to let go off my leg or I'll cut off yours and go to jail for it."

I looked him in the eye. "You wouldn't!"

He smirked evilly. "I think we've gone past that in our friendship, haven't we?"

I quickly let go of his leg and stood up, dusting my pants. "Come on, it's the last party before exams."

He shook his head at me. "I can't believe that you want to go to a party when your exams are on Monday, what is happening to you Jaxton?"

It's all for you, stupid

"Look, I wouldn't go to this party if it wasn't important."

He rolled his eyes and walked into his room, I followed behind him.

"In less than twenty four hours, Eric is gonna come through that front door and show mom and dad the photo of me and a certain boy making out in the locker room, and you want me to go drink at a teenage boy's party instead of thinking of possible solutions to help me out?"

I sighed. "Instead of staying here and sulking, feeling scared about what's gonna happen in less than twenty four hours, why don't you enjoy what you can now before you lose it then? You never know if you're gonna attend another party," I shrugged.

I know I was being harsh, I didn't want to be but if I had to pull this card to get him to come with me then I was gonna and I did.

He looked at me and swallowed. "I...I can't. We're gonna have to sneak out and God knows I'm not gonna sneak out again. I'm not a bad child! I might be a problematic child but I'm not a bad child."

I had to bite my lip so I wouldn't laugh and just nodded. "Mmhmm, of course...not a bad child."

"You don't have to sneak out." A voice said from the door making us gasp in fear, I turned to see grandma Athena at the door.

"G-Grandma."

"You wanna go to this party?" She asked as she made her way towards him.

Dylan shrugged. "I..I don't know, I just..."

"Then get dressed and I'll let you both out through the front door," she smiled.

I smiled.

Dylan on the other hand looked shocked. "You're gonna...you're gonna let me sneak out?"

"It's not sneaking out if your grandmother let's you go quietly at night so your mother won't know, is it?"

Dylan nodded and so did I.

"Yeah it is," he answered.

"It kinda is," I spoke.

"I mean, it's all the same." Dylan shrugged.

"As long as we're going out quietly,"

"Yeah" he nodded.

"Guys! Are you both going to that party or are you gonna act like you didn't get the code in what I said." She asked, frustration in her voice.

Dylan and I looked at each other in confusion and then we understood.

"Oooh!" I exclaimed.

"Now I understand, you're gonna take the blame. We're not sneaking out, we were let out." Dylan smiled.

Athena nodded. "Two seventeen year old boys about to finish highschool and they're dumb." She sighed. "Get dressed boys, I'll wait for you both downstairs." She said and patted his shoulder before making her way to the door, she winked at me before leaving.

I smiled at him. "Well there's nothing to worry about tonight so...shall we?"

He sighed. "Let's get wasted tonight!"

Not the purpose of the mission but "Okay!" I grinned.

***

Dylan's P.O.V

We finally got to the party thrower's house, Jon and Jaxton have mentioned his name like six times but I can't get it stuck in my head cause I don't care about him. What I was worried about now was Eric, I was scared for tomorrow, I was scared for myself and for Henry, I have to admit.

I was putting on a grey colored sweater and black jeans as I made my way towards the door with Jon and Jaxton by my side talking about God knows what.

When we got in, like usual the music became fifty times louder and an unfamiliar song filled my eyes, I didn't know who the artist was but the song was catchy. I looked around, it was a big party, the house was okay and students were so fucking much like always. Every Eastwood high student loves to party, don't they? And to think they care about their studies...pfft.

I was standing at the entrance when I spotted a certain redhead in a pink mini gown coming my way with a big smile and hugging me.

I smiled back at her. "Hey, killer frost."

"I was starting to think you won't make it!" She said and pulled away.

"Me too,"

"So much for ten minutes," Raven said and looked at Jax, I didn't understand what she meant.

"It wasn't easy," Jaxton said with a straight face. "I thought it would be but it wasn't." He said with a sigh. "Dylan is a tough one, I need a drink." He said and walked away.

I blinked. "Ten minutes?"

She blinked and put on a smile on her face. "I made him convince you to come here cause how can I go to a party without my friends."

I fake smiled. "Of course it was you, how can you ever?"

"Come with me," she held my hand and pulled me through the crowd to a table and sighed. "I'll be right back, wait here and don't move. I need to use the bathroom real quick."

I nodded. "Take your time,"

She smiled and walked away with the drink in her hand.

I just stood there, people passed and greeted me and I just flashed them a really fake smile and 'hey'ed them all.

I looked around and couldn't find my best friends anywhere. No Jax, no Raven and no Jon. I sighed and before looking away I saw him talking to someone, someone familiar. He was smiling about something the person was saying to him. The devil.

Henry was talking to Johnathan.

I told Zach to watch him, didn't I? Why is he talking to Johnathan? Does he find him interesting? Wait, why do I care?

Henry chuckled, it wasn't as bright as he used to and while he did his eyes met mine and his smile vanished slowly, Johnathan seemed to have noticed it and followed his eyes and then I was looking at the devil. Henry said something and walked away, Johnathan flashed me a smile and I also gave him a replica of his fake smile, maybe better and when I noticed him coming my way, I rolled my eyes and turned, I stole someone's drink while she turned to greet a friend and drank it all in one go and then I felt him beside me.

"Who would have thought you'd show up?"

I looked at him with a smile. "The party's for everyone, isn't it?."

"Henry's kinda cute, don't you think? I mean he's funny and he's got the best laugh."

I let out a little chuckle. "I'm sure he barely said four words to you, right?" The look in his eyes proved me right. "You did all the talking and he couldn't escape you and Henry doesn't laugh so whatever you think he was doing was fake."

I might not know Henry well but I knew when he was sincerely laughing and when he wasn't, his eyes would tell me. They always sparked.

"Maybe you could never make him laugh like I used to make you."

I snorted. "When Henry is sincerely laughing that his four seconds laugh or chuckle or whatever, you'd know cause his eyes go in a little and it's contagious. Tell me, did his eyes go in a little when you told him a joke that wasn't funny?"

"As a matter of fact, they did." He smirked.

"And did his lip curve too?" I arched my brows.

"It so did, love."

"Hmm," I pouted. "Henry's lips don't curve when he's chuckling and his eyes also don't go in a little or at all when he's laughing as well so my dear Johnathan, try to lie properly."

He blinked severally and huffed. "You. Smartass."

"I learnt from the best." I smiled at him.

He looked away from me and to the crowd. "It hasn't even been five minutes since he left my side and there's another girl making him smile." He said with an evil smirk.

I didn't want to look but I did and he was right, there was a dark haired girl talking to him and making him grin and I mean really grin. It made my stomach turn.

What was she saying to him that made him grin this way?

That grin is genuine.

He's replying to her like they have something.

Why am I talking this way.

I swallowed.

"Uh oh!" Johnathan hissed. "What's wrong now, hmm?"

I faked a smile and looked at him. "The girl's hot, I'm glad he's not with Quinn or...you. She seems really nice and looks like she's got experience once it comes to sex, I wish him luck." I said and patted his shoulder. "Stop being annoying and get laid, seriously." I said and walked past him, the smile fell as I increased my steps while panting heavily, I tried not to look at Henry but I did and this girl was making him smile in and chuckle the same way I used to.

Why was I still hurting?

I looked away from him with a scowl and walked from where I stood to another corner, where I wouldn't be able to see him. It wasn't an easy task walking in the crowd but I managed to and stopped at a corner. My chest was hurting, I had to hit it a couple of times but it didn't stop and I got worried. I ran my hand through my hair and took in deep breaths, trying to calm myself cause I didn't care. I needed something to drink. Where was Raven? What kinda pee adventure did she go for?

"Hey!" A voice called loudly making me turn.

I so did not recognize him but just smiled at the tall, brunette muscle guy in front of me with a big smile as he moved his body to the song.

"Hi," I replied.

"You don't look too excited about the party."

I shrugged. "Not in the mood, I don't even know what the person throwing this party looks like."

He chuckled. "Not everyone does,"

I chuckled a little. "Well at least I have some partners."

"Want a drink?" He asked with a genuine smile as he handed me the cups he was holding on his right hand.

I looked at it and back at him. "Is it strong? Like really strong? I need something that's really hard and no, no reference to the penis."

He chuckled. "Really strong," he smirked and handed it to me.

I sighed and took it from him. "Thank you," I said and brought it close to my lips, I was about to drink it when someone pulled the cup away before it could touch my tongue.

My jaw dropped before I looked at the person beside me, the boy with the green eyes staring at me angrily. "What the fuck?"

"What the fuck did you think you are trying to do?" He yelled.

"I don't know, have a drink like a normal person?" I retorted.

"Don't act smart with me now, Dyl!" He snarled, the nickname gave me chills. He looked away from me and at the boy and grabbed him by the collar angrily.

"Hey! What the fuck!" I tried to pull him away. "Let him go!"

"Dude! Let go!" The boy said.

"Why would you offer him this?"

"It's just a drink." He shrugged.

"Oh really? Just a drink? Why don't you drink it then?" Henry said and offered it back to him. "Go ahead."

"What are you insulating?" I frowned at him.

He didn't answer me and just glared at the boy like a lion about to devour a rabbit. "Drink it!"

The boy didn't take the cup from him, I looked away from Henry and at the shaking boy. "Why aren't you taking it? If there's nothing wrong with it then drink it." I ordered, but he didn't take it and gulped in fear.

Henry punched him hard, making him fall and threw the drink at him. We were getting looks , I didn't even feel bad for him.

Henry looked back at me. "Don't take drinks from strangers, only drink what you pour for yourself! That drink he gave you was spiked and God knows what would have happened if you had taken it, you should be careful."

I didn't reply to him, I wanted to thank him but all I could remember was that girl making him laugh. I turned and began walking away and didn't want to speak to him again even when all I wanted to do was jump on him and make out with him again.

"Dyl.."

Don't call me that.

"Wait," he grabbed my arm and twirled me.

I looked at his hand which held my arm and at his face with anger. "You don't have that privilege to touch me again, so let go off me. Now." I ordered.

The look in his eyes held pity, he didn't say anything and let go off my hand slowly. I quickly walked away from him, I needed to be away cause my heart was gonna beat out of my chest and grandma's words were coming back into my head and then I spotted Raven, Jon and Jaxton together. When they spotted me, they started adjusting themselves and looked away, I scowled and made my way towards them.

"What. The. Fuck?"

They looked back at me with smiles on their face. "Heeeey, we've been searching for you." Jon smiled.

"I've been looking for you guys all over!"

"Same," Raven said and took a sip from her drink.

I looked away from Jon and at Raven. "And you, whatever happened to your bladder? Did you pee a one year urine in advance?" I frowned at her.

She blinked. "Geez, calm down. I drank a lot, I had to use the bathroom and plus I said stay right where I left you but you disappeared."

"S-Still d-doesn't matter!" I shrugged. "Wait..." I looked at everyone of them. "Did you guys ditch me?"

"What?" They all chorused.

"No!" Raven blinked.

"God, no!" Jax shook his head.

"What? No, of course not." Jon snorted

"I need a drink."

"Here," Jon handed me his. I took it from him and drank it in one gulp.

"Woah!!!! Slow down." Raven said but I ignored.

"Are...you okay?" Jaxton asked, brows raised.

I nodded. "I'm fine." I fake smiled. "Let's get really wasted."

"Yes!"

"Yeah!"

"Woohoo!" Jon rose his hands.

"Come on!" I walked ahead while they followed.

***

We all stood together, drinking and screaming happily. I kept taking cups after cups but I wasn't feeling drunk yet and I wanted to be drunk and forget about that jock with the green eyes but I couldn't.

"Don't you wanna pee?" Jax asked.

I looked at him. "Hmm?"

"Yeah, I mean....you've drank a lot and um...maybe you have to pee, right?" Jon asked.

"He...has a point." Raven nodded. "You should go pee!"

I looked at three of them with arched brows and was silent for a while, this did sound suspicious but now that they mentioned pee I really did wanna.

I nodded. "Okay, I gotta pee now." I said and handed my cup to Raven, I was about to walk when I felt tipsy and almost fell but Jon and Jax caught me.

"Careful."

I laughed. "I'm fine, I didn't know it'd be like this yet." I sighed and began making my way towards the stairs, at my left were two lesbians kissing and not even hiding it.

I wanna be them, the kissing part not the...you know.

I used the railings to get up the stairs and looked around for the bathroom, I pushed the first door open; empty. I opened the second door and loud female moans filled the room and my ears and so did skin slapping skin.  The guy turned to me and shouted. "Get out!"

"Sorry!" I closed it and reopened "Enjoy yourselves, use protection cause you don't want any unwanted b-"

"GET OUT!" They both screamed and I quickly shut it. 

I shook my head and made my way to the third door, I pushed it open with a smile. "This has got to be the bathr-" I trailed off and stood frozen once I saw Henry making out with that same girl, her legs wrapped around him as they sat at the edge of the bed.

I couldn't breathe, he wasn't pushing her away and she was grinning against his lips. The sight irritated me, it made me sad, it made me feel hurt and...something else.

I could feel my heart race increase and a huge ass pain in my chest like I was gonna die anytime soon. A trembling sound escaped my lips and that made Henry's head turn towards me sharply, his eyes widen. "Dylan!"

I know I was tipsy at that moment but seeing him kiss another girl made all that alcohol die down, I quickly turned and began walking real fast and soon started running down the stairs.

"Dyl! Dyl wait!" I heard him call but kept walking down the stairs real quick, I spotted Raven and the boys below the stairs as if waiting for me.

"Hey, what's-"

"I need a strong drink." I sniffed as I made my way to the drinks in the culler, they followed me.

"Hey, you okay?"

"Do you think they have tequila here?" I asked, ignoring Raven's question.

"We're not giving you that. Remember what happened the last time you took that shit." Jax said.

I shook my head at him. "If you're not gonna give me one then I'll find one."

"Dylan!" Henry appeared behind them.

"No," I muttered and walked away, heading towards the door.

"Please wait," he held my hand but I shrugged it off and walked out of the house.

"Do you always feel that spark when he holds you or kisses you?"

Grandma Athena's voice rang in my head.

The tears were falling down from my eyes uncontrollably, I needed space to myself, I needed to breathe. This was a new feeling that I didn't understand, what was this?  I was really hurt and I didn't understand why seeing him with another girl did hurt me bad and made my heart arch.

"That feeling like a thousand electricity in your body? Like you're in paradise?"

"Oh my God! Yes! Yes! H-How did you know? I thought it was only me that felt that strange feeling!"

I bumped my shoulder into Zach's, I didn't say a word to him and didn't even reply to his swearing. I wiped my tears off with my sweater and kept walking faster.

"Please, slow down." I heard Henry say.

"Does your heart beat every time you hear his name or when he touches you?"

It does...

"When you went to see Eric and saw Henry there, what did you feel?"

"I don't know,"

"Think."

"Sadness. Anger."

"What did you feel when you saw him? Hmm?"

"Worry."

I wiped my tears quickly.

Get out of my head, grandma.

"Dyl, wait!" I heard a faint voice call as I walked faster into the dark street, I didn't even know where I was going, I wanted to be far away from him and so I ran.

I ran fast, cleaning the tears off as they fell for no reason.

I didn't even understand why I was crying...

Why seeing him with that girl was making me cry and envy her.

"I'm not sure I understand?"

"W-Why the fuck am I crying," I asked myself as I ran.

"You like him,"

I stopped running instantly and stood still as realization hit me.

"W-What?"

"You like this Henry boy that's an asshole."

"Don't you get jealous when you see him with someone else? Don't you have him plastered in that head of yours and you get to think about this very boy like if you wouldn't, you'd die?"

Yes.

Their voices filled my head.

Another flash of me at Raven's house.

"That slap though, all for Henry? I'm starting to get suspicious."

And then of Jaxton and I in the cafeteria two weeks ago when Henry and I were assigned as partners.

"You bummed into Henry on your first day, fate. You liked him and then when you got to speak to him during lunch, he was a jerk. And then it was dodgeball, the hatred spread and what happened afterwards? Detention. Finally after detention, it was Quinn's party and the whole seven minutes in heaven thing and then it was the accident in the library and from the library, it went as far as a date at the amusement park. Then back to finding the culprit, and he beat the crap out of Eric and then having smoothies together, then back to enemies and now you're both project partners. Doesn't this mean anything?"

"No, it doesn't."

"Cupid is trying to get you two together."

I began breathing fast and continued walking.

Then Jon's memory...

"Putting all the pieces together and with the whole thing that I've seen at school, I think you both like each other but you just don't know it."

"You know, It's really funny how you're trying to help build Jax's relationship with that boy that likes him and mine with Gwen, but you're not even doing anything about your own love life."

"Jon. I don't have any feelings for Henry, he's not even my type."

Lies...I was lying to myself. 

I am jealous. I. Dylan Dexwell. Jealous of someone else? Me? For the very first time I envied someone over a guy.

(Play the song at the top, trust me you'd want to listen to it while reading this. I promise. )

A hand grabbed mine again and twirled me, I turned to see a panting quarterback staring right at me.

"Please don't run from me again, look it's not what you think?"

"What? That It's not you and a girl I saw upstairs sticking your tongues into each others mouths?" I didn't care that my eyes were red and my voice came out really low.

"Dylan," he called softly.

"I know it's not my business and I-I shouldn't even be b-bothered or care about such thing but here I am.....bothered!"

"Dyl, look I wasn't..."

"Please don't call me that," I said and shut my eyes. "That name does a lot of things to me that you don't know?."

"What's going on?"

"Everything! Everything is falling apart! Everything isn't going the way I planned. Hell, things are way worse now and I...I don't even know what to feel anymore." I chuckled bitterly.

"Talk to me,"

"No," I shook my head.

"Dylan." He called firmly.

"Why the fuck were you....were you flirting with that girl and even Johnathan, I mean come on..Johnathan? I told you to stay away from him."

"I was not flirting with him," he corrected. "Tell me what's wrong with you, please. Speak to me!"

"I knew something was definitely wrong with me and I knew I started to feel different when you came alone but I didn't know what that feeling was." I shrugged. "I-I didn't understand what exactly was going on with me. I became happier, I was blushing, Dylan Dexwell doesn't blush and I was blushing at every compliment you gave me, every time at school all I wanted to do was see your face!" His brows rose. "Everyone kept telling me the reason why I always stuck by your side, why I always came back to you but I thought they were being paranoid or...or stupid." I chuckled. "My heart hurts here," I pointed at my chest. "Every fucking time you do things like this, it hurts. Everything about Henry fucking Ashcroft hurts right here." I poked it. "It's like that ice melted because of you and my walls just.....just went down when you came into my life and I h-hate you for that." I said with a cracked voice.

"Dylan, what are you saying?" His voice came out low and confused.

"They were all right! Grandma! Jaxton! Jon! Raven! They were all fucking right," I smiled. "You make my heart go on a race it doesn't want to. Those words you said to me that night hurt badly cause it came from you! Henry Ashcroft!"

He looked down.

"I let you kiss me every time cause it is you! I fucking didn't understand why I let you kiss me every time, I mean when I say it's the last time it's never the last time and we end up making out again! When y-you smile at me, all I feel is my stomach tighten like...like I have no air left to breathe anymore. Stupid electricity bolts from Barry Allen starts going through my veins when you touch me and I...I can't even stop it! All I end up doing is worrying and caring about you and what you think! I hated you and then I stopped hating you and I tried to keep hating you for good, b-but I couldn't cause...I can't stop exactly what I feel. I didn't even know what I felling and I that's the sad part," I laughed stupidly as thjustars fell. "I forgot who I was c-cause of you."

"Dylan, I'm sorry for the things I said."

"NO STUPID! WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY, YOU DUMBASS. IS THAT I LIKE YOU! I FUCKING LIKE YOU-LIKE YOU, AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT I DID TILL NOW!" I yelled out, not even caring. "I like every fucking thing about you! Do you have any idea what effect that smile of yours have on me? Those kisses...they do s-something to me and no matter what I do, no matter what I try, I cannot fucking get you out of my head because you're stuck there like some kinda tumor, god forbid." I sighed. "How the fuck did I end up liking Henry Ashcroft? How? For the love of God!"  I ran my hand through my hair.

"Dylan-"

"It hurts that I fell for the bad boy who claims to be straight, who has done nothing but hurt me from the beginning and left me to fight the battle that has to do with both of us, alone! That bad boy who seemed so cool and so perfect, who had the best smile and tattoos that I can't explain, I was sticking with him cause I liked him for who he was. I like-like him, it's sad c-cause the feeling is one sided and you can't like me back because you're not 'gay' and you need your perfect reputation. It sucks because I fell for you without even knowing about it, I fell for this one guy who is a jerk and I wish I could take it all back because I didn't plan for this to happen and it did, and I don't like this feeling i'm experiencing." I sniffed. "It feels good but...it also feels bad. I keep saying you're not my type every time," I laughed. "Every time and then everything I think about is you, I think about kissing you every minute. I think about just you!" Those tears fell, his face was red and his emotions were masked. "I don't wanna let you go cause you have a huge effect on me but I have to cause.....what's the point right? " I wiped the tears again as they fell. "I've never felt this thing before and when people talk about liking someone it's supposed to be nice and fun but mine is just pain. Yes, I like you Henry Ashcroft and I have liked you since forever." I admitted.

"Dy-"

I stopped him. "You don't need to say anything, I had to let out my emotions." I sniffed. "I just needed you to know how I feel about you now. This has to be the worst night." I chuckled. "You'll find someone better, someone worthy to keep your reputation. I hope you do, Henry. You deserve all the happiness and I'm sorry I ruined your life, I'm sorry that I came in and ruined it all for you. It was my mistake and I realized that now,"

He shook his head at me. "Dylan, it's not-"

"Goodnight, Henry." I looked up at him, his eyes red like he was gonna cry any minute, veins popping out at the side of his head. I wiped off those tears again real quick and smiled. "It was actually nice hanging out with you and I'm sorry again, please don't say anything and let me leave. Please." I begged.

He just shut his eyes and looked down before nodding, I nodded as well and with a fake smile I turned and walked away and the tears came pouring out again.

Shit.

I liked Henry Ashcroft! I like him.

I hate this feeling.

This pain.

And so I kept walking, hoping to get home soon until a familiar car parked beside me and three teenagers rushed out.

"Dylan?" Raven called softly.

I turned and looked at all of them with teary eyes as they made their way towards me.

"I told you I didn't want to go to that party." I said in between tears. "I didn't want to go."

Jon pulled me in for a hug and wrapped his arms around me while I cried on his chest and soon more hands surrounded me and it was a group hug.

"It's okay sweetie," Raven assured me.

I shook my head. "It's not okay, I like him. I f-fucking like that asshole and I didn't even know that I did."

"It's okay," Jon said as he stroked my hair. "Don't be sad, it's a good thing that you realized it early."

"He's right, you know?" Jax said softly. "Let's go home?"

I nodded. "Let's go home." I sniffed and pulled away.

"Come on," Raven held my hand and led me towards Jon's car.

"

Hey you, how was the party?" Grandma asked from the living room once Jax and I got there. I walked over to her with red eyes and collapsed on the couch, placing my head into her lap. "You were right, ma. I like him." I said and looked at her with teary eyes. "I like that douchebag, why do I...why? Why does it hurt so bad?" I felt chocked up

She smiled and patted my back. "That's life. We don't choose who you like or love. Don't be sad about it, sometimes it hurts so bad but it'll get better."

I shook my head slowly and placed it back on her lap. "I h-hate him."

"I'm sure you do, peter pan."

Jaxton's P.O.V

"I h-hate him." Dylan stuttered.

I hated seeing him this way, so vulnerable but it was for the best, we had to do something and we were all able to have him realize his feelings in few hours, grandma Athena was a genius. She knew the right buttons to push.

"I'm sure you do, peter pan." She said as she stroked his hair and looked at me, she winked and I winked back as well, assuring her that it went well.

"I'll um...I'll be back, I gotta go upstairs for a bit." I excused myself and went upstairs. I took out my laptop and Skype Jon and Raven at the same time.

"How is he?" Raven asked immediately.

I sighed. "Still crying,"

"I hate that we had to do this to him." Jon sighed as well.

"But at least it worked." Raven shrugged.

I nodded. "Yeah."

"How did...Athena know that Dylan seeing Henry and that girl was gonna set him off and he was gonna speak the truth?" Jon asked, curiously. Something we were all asking ourselves.

"I have no idea. But she's his grandmother, only her would know." I shrugged.

"At least we heard him say it to Henry." Raven sighed. "He really didn't know."

Yes we followed him and heard his conversation with Henry, we didn't mean to eavesdrop but we had to.

"He didn't know about it." I shrugged.

"That though, was one hell of a confession." Jon smiled. "He had to get it out of his system."

"Watch him, I'll come over tomorrow morning." Jon said.

"Me too," Raven cut in.

I nodded. "Okay, now...the next plan. How do we do that?"

Raven smiled. "Leave that to me, Dylan has said his part and now it's the other lover's turn."

"You think he feels the same way?" Jon's brows rose.

"We'll find out tomorrow." She shrugged, smiling.

Jon sighed and yawned tiredly "I gotta go, I'm meeting Gwen for lunch tomorrow."

We went silent.

"Gwen, huh?" Raven smirked.

"Okay, no. I'm out." Jon said and ended the call from his side.

I laughed.

"What? I just wanted to ask!"

I laughed still. "Goodnight, Rave."

"Night, JaxJax." She said with a smile and we both ended the video chat at the same time and with a sigh I walked to my bed and laid on it.

"I hope his all works out." I muttered.
