Chapter 100.

Dylan's P.O.V

It's been a week since Claudia came into town, she seemed nice but it has been hard trying not to get jealous with Jaxton and Raven whispering into my ear at every chance they get when  we see Claudia touching Henry and stuff, they were stupid, I know. I didn't have any reason to be jealous because I trusted Henry and Claudia has been nothing but nice to me but my best friends were so worried the DENRY ship was gonna sink.

"You look tired," Jaxton said as we walked down the hall.

I sighed. "I've been busy reading and I was on the phone with Taylor for a long time."

"That's Connor's brother, right?"

I nodded while yawning. "Yeah,"

"And your therapy section?"

"Hell." I replied, rolling my eyes afterwards.  I couldn't stop my parents from taking me to see a therapist and that bitch was trying to get into my head, to have me say all the traumatizing things that have ever happened to me. I lost count! And when I'd tell her, she'd ask me to be serious with this, tell her my feelings and....ugh, I swear I don't like her.

"Well at least you're getting help."

"Yay." I replied sarcastically, flashing him a fake smile and then we spotted Henry talking with Christian.

"You should go say hi to your man, when was the last time you both hanged out?" Jaxton asked and I shrugged.

"He's been busy and I've been busy too." I replied and Jaxton hummed.

"I'll see you in class, Dylan." He said and began walking away.

"Bye, Jax Jax." I replied and made my way to my boyfriend, I hugged him from behind and he looked over his shoulder and smiled.

"Hey,"

"Hi." I smiled at him and he turned to me, kissing me once, twice, thrice, I laughed.

"Okay, I'm just...gonna go now before I watch a live porn." Christian said and I looked over at him.

"You kiss Tyler all the time." I stated.

"I-" he trailed off. "See you in class." He said with a smirk and walked away.

Henry laughed and wrapped his arms around me. "I feel like I haven't seen you in forever." He said and kissed me. "I miss you."

"Me too." I smiled. "Why don't you come over tonight and we can watch a movie and cuddle and talk about stuffs."

"Tonight?"

I nodded. "Yeah."

"I...can't. I have to take Claudia downtown to this stupid concert." Henry said and I pulled away.

"Oh, of course. We can do this some other time then."

"Don't sound like that."

"Like what? We've barely hanged out in the past week, I only see you at school." I said and folded my arms. "I have nothing against Claudia, just so you know, but I just miss you."

"Dylan, she'll be gone soon, we're just reliving the old days is all. We haven't seen each other in five years, lost contact, I can't just ignore her. We see each other everyday, she'll leave for New York in like a week." Henry explained in the calmest tone and I nodded.

"Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry, I just...miss spending time with you. My bed even misses you, one time it cried." I said and he laughed, pulling me closer again.

"Yeah sure. It..it cried." He said as he leaned closer and I nodded.

"It did." I replied right before his lips were  placed on mine, I wrapped my arms around him, kissing him back.

"You are so hot, Dylan Dexwell." Henry said and i grinned.

"As are you, Henry Ashcroft." I replied.

"Come on, beautiful. I'll walk you to class like the gentleman I am." Henry said and I laughed.

"Yeah, we have the same class, doofus." I said as he placed his arm around my shoulder and we began to our way to our class.

***

"Okay, so in today's class we will be doing a little acting from the Romeo and Juliet book."  Mrs. Wilder said, her hands clapped together. 

Mrs. Wilder is the drama class teacher, she's tall and she's like classy. She has a straight brunette hair, she's beautiful but like old sort of beautiful, not that shes old, she's probably in her forties, okay that's old but forty was a good look on her. She had this Catwoman glasses and she always had her hair down and wore long dresses and flats.

I had been attending drama club after Principal Evans talk and i swear i hate it here, I could only tolerate Jaxton's lgbt friends cause they were here too.

"Okay, Simon, Tina," she called. "You both will go first." She said and I waited as Simon, a Mexican kid, and Tina who was a white girl with black and pink hair (also a cheerleader by the way) stood up and walked over to the front of the class while Mrs. Wilder walked over to where Tina sat and rested against her table.

"Tina," she called as she picked up the book and opened. "Everyone, act two, scene two." She said and everyone opened the novel.

"Okay, so you are going to start from 'Ay me' Juliet's part. You both ready?" She asked and they both nodded as they stared at the book they held with a smile while facing each other.

"Okay, action then." Mrs. Wilder said and Tina started.

"

Ay me!" She said, a little too chirpy, making me frown instantly and blink severally.

Simon rose his left hand up and smiled. "She speaks: O, speak again, bright angel!" His voice rose and I cocked my brow; he continued. "For thou art as glorious to this night, being o'er my head." He said and placed his hand on his chest making me frown the more at his acting.

"As is a winged messenger of heaven, unto the white-upturned wondering eyes," he looked down and back at her with a look that made me grimaced.  "Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him, when he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds and sails upon the bosom of-" He paused and looked up slowly as if seeing something, hopefully it was his dead relative begging him to shut the fuck up but I was wrong. "-the air." He finished in a low tone, trying to probably sound charming.

"You've got to be fucking kidding." I muttered. "This...This is acting? Okay."

Tina grinned and moaned, she...she actually moaned. "O Romeo, Romeo!" My eyes widen as I got serious  pornhub vibes. "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" It fucking sounded like French that died; she held his hand in hers as she read the book, looking like she was on her period. "Deny thy father and refuse thy name, or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet." She said and turned, slapping his face with her hair.

I blinked. "Oh." I mouthed and saw Mrs. Wilder's brows rise in surprise or...shock?

Juliet didn't even turn in the fucking book.

Okay, I'm... I'm done here.

"Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?" Romeo said like he was whispering; whispering to the dead.

This was beyond bad acting and Mrs. Wilder wasn't saying anything, no one was.

Tina turned back to him rapidly and cried.  "Tis but thy name that is my enemy," she said, reminding me of Phoebe Thunderman's acting in that show.

Phoebe was much better! And I mean Phoebe the character not Kira herself

I was irritated.

"Thou art thyself, though not a Montaguri." She said and Mrs. Wilder sighed.

"Montague." She corrected.

"Montague!" Tina repeated, firmly, still....acting I guess.

"Okay, okay, stop." Mrs. Wilder said and they both turned to her.

Thank God! Thank you!

"How'd we do?" Tina asked, grinning sheepishly.

"Brilliant." She replied, smiling at them and I frowned at her.

She....she's kidding.

Tina squealed. "I'm so gonna be Juliet this year." She flipped her hair again before they went back to their seats.

"Okay, Dan, Celia, you're next." She said and i rolled my eyes.

I hated drama class, it was annoying because half the kids here had no talent when it came to acting. It was sad!  

Some of the kids were awful and she'd tell them straight that the acting needed this or needed more emotion or stuff and then there were others who did worse and she'd tell them they were fantastic.

She was a fucking psycho.

I couldn't wait for the bell to ring and when it did, i got up immediately and packed my things into my backpack.

"See you all on Thursday, keep reading and keep doing what you love." Mrs. Wilder said as she rested against her desk while we all got ready to leave.

I was almost out of the class when she called me and i stopped, turning to her.

"Hm?"

"A moment please." She said with a smile and i nodded, rolling my eyes mentally as I walked back to her table. She waited till everyone was gone before speaking.  "You know you should at least try to hide your disgust and that 'please kill me' look you always have on when your classmates are acting." She said with a smile and i shrugged.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know I was giving out those faces, their acting was just....cringey." I grimaced. "Cringey is an understatement," I said and she laughed.

"You do it all the time."

"Have you seen them act? Without your glasses because I think  that glasses isn't doing you good, no offence. I mean you actually think their acting is amazing. I- who am i to say anything."

She shook her head. "No. I don't think their actings are great. Seriously, half the kids in this class have zero talent. Like the dead can do so much better than these kids by just being six feet under and laying there, dead; they'd win an Oscar as corpses than these kids here." She said and I would be laughing right now if there wasn't a question bugging me.

I was surprised that she thought this way about them, she actually described them in the best way because I couldn't use words to explain their acting. 

"Then why do you lie to them that their acting is nice when it sucks, it's sucks so bad God would strike them dead with lightening just to get them to stop cause that shit was tormenting?"

Her brows rose once i said the curse word I sighed. "Sorry, pissed off."

She smiled. "It's fine. You're right, they suck but I don't really care. I only help those who are good and need help or those who are bad but are willing to learn, those who have shit going on at home and are bad in this too but have s potential for acting, then i speak to them afterwards to let them know they were awful and need to practice more to be in the drama team, because I wouldn't humiliate them in front of teenagers of this century. They are like vampires, all of you." She said and I smiled.

"Thank you."

"Dylan, I have good actors here too, people who are great, like Steven and Tamara and there are kids here who act so well, it makes me smile and i push them to try more because I want them to be the best. But the ones with no future in acting? That are so bad and yet they don't want to take my advice? I tell them they are all doing fantastic. I'll let Broadway or whatever tell them how disturbing their acting was." She said with a smirk.

"Hmmph. That explains it. You aren't worried they'd hate your guts?"

"Why should I be?" Mrs. Wilder snorted. "These kids who don't know how to act are the ones who want the lead role in any play, like hell that's gonna happen. Eastwood high's play never fails because I bring out the best in my team and put the others like Tina behind, I tell them this stage isn't for them, the bigger stages are." She rolled her eyes. "I sometimes have other students helping out. Now, for people like Simon and Tina who make my ears bleed all the time, they are kids who treat people like shit cause they have money and since I hate people like that, this is the best i can do." She smiled. "Train them to be a failure."

I blinked. "W-Wow, that's....evil."

She shrugged. "What kind of a school would this be if there was no good teacher with an evil side?"

"A horrible one." I said with a nod.  "You are actually amazing."

She smiled. "I hate bullies."

"Maybe one day you should tell Tina how horrible she is."

"Me? Tell Tina?" She laughed. "That's for people like Simon Cowell, she wants to have a career as an actress."

"Oh no."

"Oh yes. She's rich so it'd be easy to get on big stages and stuff but i mean come on, who would hire someone who looked like something out of an anime porno and acted that bad."

I laughed. "Good one."

"Thank you." She grinned. "I know you are an amazing actor, Dylan. I just feel it."

I smiled. "Well, I'm not even supposed to be in drama class but principal Evans thinks I should be here."

"Well, you make a good judge with your facial expressions."

"Oh my, thank you Mrs. Wilder."

"You are most welcome, Mr. Dexwell."

I chuckled. "I should get going."

She nodded. "Don't drop my class, I'll drag your ass back." She said as she walked to the window.

"Yeah, I'm sure you can." I replied, sarcastically as i walked out of the class with a smile.

I walked over to where my friends were at lunch and sat down with a sigh. "Hi, hi, hi everyone." I kissed Henry.

"Where the fuck have you been? You are always early to lunch." Gwen said and I sighed.

"Was having a word with Mrs. Wilder."

"Everything okay?" Henry asked and i nodded.

"Oh yeah, it is now." I smiled. "So, what's the latest gossip?" I asked as I began to eat the lunch mom packed up for me. My

"What's that?" Henry asked me, quietly.

"Yes babe, you can eat with me, I brought enough." I replied and he grinned.

"I love you."

"Me too, Ashcroft." I replied and he kissed me.

"I love how food makes you both look each other the more." Jon said and Jaxton groaned.

"I wish Dominic came to Eastwood cause you all make me miss him the more!" He cried and we all laughed.

"Do you wanna share Henry?" I asked and Jax frowned.

"You'd do that?"

"Of course," i smiled. "Anything to make you happy, I mean you'd die a painful death obviously but at least you'd die a happy death." I said with a grin.

Jaxton scowled and gave me the middle finger and i blew him a kiss before resting my legs on Henry's lap cause I could.

"Where's Zach?" I asked, he was absent and he wouldn't miss lunch cause he'd want to say mean things to me.

"Said he was busy." Jon said while he ate.

Henry looked at me and arched his brow as if telling me something and I just stared at him with a frown until I understood.

Raven.

I guess the talk didn't go well.

I opened up my lunch and the aroma made me smile. "God, i love you mom." I said as I held a spoon and so did Henry.

"Oh shit!!" Jaxton exclaimed and stood up, quickly picking up his bag.

"Where you off to?" Raven asked as she looked up from her phone.

"I was supposed to meet up with Steven and Ashley, I'll see you guys later, love you." He said before running off.

"Jaxton never forgets." Raven said and I smiled.

"He's growing up." I replied and she laughed.

I began to eat and even though Henry had his own spoon, I couldn't stop myself from feeding him. I had missed him and I wanted to take care of my baby.

"You are so husband material." Jon said and we all looked at him with a frown.

"What's that?" I asked.

"You don't know what that is?"

"No." Raven answered.

"It's a term a country in Africa use, it's when someone is the perfect husband, maybe not perfect but would make a great husband. I think they use it most for wives but Dylan's a man so," he shrugged.

"Jon." I called and he looked at me. "Stop talking."

"Okay." He nodded and looked at Gwen. "I need a kiss to talk."

"You just talked." She laughed.

I chuckled and continued to feed Henry with a smile, he wouldn't stop looking at me and even stopped eating by himself.

"You are the best boyfriend in the world." He said and I grinned.

"I know. I'm flawless."

He chuckled. "How are you feeling?"

"Good actually, I'm...happy. I don't even know why." I chuckled as I fed him and a second later, something flashed in our eyes and I turned with a frown to see a girl in a pink gown taking our photos.  "What the fuck?! Are you serious?"

"Delete that or I'll break what's left of you." Raven said in a threatening tone.

"I'm so sorry, Jaxton told me to c-come take the photos for the LGBTQ team and he said you wouldn't mind, I'm so sorry." She looked like she was gonna cry already 

"No one's beating you, there's no need to cry." Gwen said. "It's fine. You can go now."

"I just did what he asked," she said and I nodded.

"I understand. It's fine."

"Next time, say excuse me or take permission before you do that, it's not right." Raven said.

The girl smiled and nodded before running off.

"Is she really in the lgbt team or did Bruce send her?" I asked and Jon answered.

"I've seen her with them, she's in the LGBTQ  community."

"You never can tell whom you can trust." I shrugged.

"True. This is Eastwood high after all." Gwen said and Jon kissed her.

***

"We're home!!" I announced as I walked in with Jaxton.

"Well, welcome boys." Mom said, she was rocking Davina in her arms. I walked over to her and took Davina from her. "I am so tired."

"Hi, sister." I said with a smile and she began to speak baby language with a smile. "Yes, big brother's back. What? You love me? Oh would you look at that, I love you too." I said and mom chuckled.

"You are so good with her someone would think you were an angel."

"Um, I am a sweetheart." I said and they both laughed immediately. "Whatever." I muttered and gave my attention back to Davina who was trying to eat my thumb like she always does.

Mom left us and went make Davina's food, Jaxton and i walked to the living room and I gently sat down.

"I am so tired." Jax yawned.

"Didn't sleep much last night?"

"Mom wasn't home, I had to take care of my sister."

"How long has that been going on?"

"Well she's working two jobs, so it's the least I can do." Jaxton shrugged.

"Okay," I muttered. "Just don't stress yourself."

He nodded. "I'm just gonna crash here." He said and laid on the couch, closing his eyes. "Wake me if the house is on fire."

"What if it's a zombie apocalypse."

"Wake me if it's that."

"What if-"

"Dylan, leeme alone." He whined.

I kicked him before leaving and heading to where mom was.. "Mrs. Dexwell."

"Yes, Mrs. Dexwell's child." She replied and turned to me.

"When are you returning to work?"

"Well i can't hire a nanny for Davina cause I don't do nannies and uh, i just might resign."

"Wait, what?"

"Remember when i told you I was gonna start my own business? You know, my own diner."

"Yeah? I think so."

"Well, I'm putting all my ideas down, I have Davina now, I can't be going to work when I have a child who needs me so I'm gonna use this opportunity to start my own business and have people work for me and also get the chance to take care of her." She shrugged. "I mean your dad can't be home all day, he's busy, you have school and will be off to college soon and can't take care of a child and I can't be at work all day."

"Makes sense." I muttered. "Um, when you start the diner thing, I'm not gonna have to work for you right?  I mean, I love you so much and I think this is great but I have a life."

Mom gave me a bored look. "Yeah sure, because being shot and being thrown down the stairs and almost being raped, being beaten by a Russian drug dealer and blackmailed by a stupid child seems like the dream life." She said sarcastically.

"You don't have to be so mean."

She rolled her eyes. "I should speak with Jaxton's boyfriend."

"Why?"

"He works at a H.O.E. I need his ideas and stuff."

"You just want to hire him."

"Yes I do." She smirked and i laughed.

"So, how's Henry?" She asked as she walked over to the cupboard and opened it.

"Oh, he's good."

"I haven't seen him around lately." She said and took out a pot.

"He's been busy with that friend of his."

"Claudia is it?"

"Yeah."

Mom turned to me and pointed the pot at me. "You're not jealous, are you?"

I snorted. "No."

"Jealousy is a bad thing. I mean is cute when your partner is jealous but it can be dangerous, trust me, I know."

"Who did you murder?"

"I'm just advising you, shithead, and she survived." Mom said and I chuckled.  "Take care of Davina for me, your father will be home early and i have been busy watching telemundo all day and forgot to cook something."

"I don't mind playing with my-" and then i felt something, her diaper became heavy and something suddenly began to stink, I looked at Davina and she giggled.  "Mom,"

"Hmm?"

"Your child has a situation."

***

It was past nine when I got a call from Henry, surprisingly since I was the one who seemed to be calling him recently.

"Hello, Boyfriend."

Jaxton turned to me and smiled, we were both in my room and reading while laying on our backs.

"Hey, marshmallow."

"What's up?" I smiled.

"Uh, we're sort of going to a club and I wanted you to come."

"A club. On Monday?"

"Zach knows a place."

"I.... It's sort of late and-"

Jax elbowed me and when I looked at him, he glared. "You're going, you are fucking going. Say yes! Go with him." He mouthed.

"Come on, please."

Jaxton nodded and I sighed silently. "Okay, fine."

"Great! So, I'll text you the address?"

"Sure."

"Oh and you can come with Jaxton, say hi to him for me."

"How'd you know he was here?"

"You took a break before replying, I know he was convincing you."

"Oh, you are the smartest boyfriend ever."

He chuckled. "I'll see you in thirty minutes?"

"Fifty tops."

He snickered. "Text me when you leave."

"I will. See you in forty slash fifty minutes."

"Love you." He said and I replied before hanging up.

"How can you say you are not going when Chlamydia will be there!"

I rolled my eyes. "I'm not going to go spy on my boyfriend."

"I'll do that for you, now get dressed."

"And what the fuck? Chlamydia? Seriously?"

"It fits." Jax said with a shrug.

I chuckled and shook my head at him. "Oh and Henry said hi , he also said to bring you along."

He smiled. "Good. I'll just call Dominic, i don't want people flirting with me at the club, hopefully Dom's not tired." Jaxton said and took out his cellphone, excitedly. "Can I borrow one of your black pants? We're literally the same size."

"You are a bit fatter than I am."

"Well I'm lucky." He said as he typed on his phone, sending Dominic a text.

I got up from my bed with a sigh and walked over to my closet, I opened it and looked, wondering what the fuck i was going to wear.

"Dominic said he'd come pick us up in twenty minutes." Jaxton said and came over to where I was.

"What do I wear?" I sighed and looked at Jaxton who also turned his gaze to me. "We're gonna scatter this closet, aren't we?"

He nodded. "Unfortunately, cause I wont let you wear just anything."

"Right now, I miss the Jaxton who didn't care about these sort of stuff." I whined.

"Well, he's doing this for you." He said and began taking out the clothes in my closet.

***

Thirty minutes later we arrived at Midnight Club, the club looked hidden but it also looked like really expensive or something like that. We all walked in without much trouble like i expected since we were underage but Dominic made us fake IDs, I didn't even know i was twenty three until tonight.

"So, how long have you both been using these?"  I asked them as we walked in.

"A while." Jax shrugged. "I swear I told Dominic it was a bad idea."

"You guys have been enjoying this? God, I hate you both." I said and soon we heard nothing but loud music like that one time, it was crowded which made me wonder how it was gonna be on a Friday here.

"I'll call Henry now." I said and took out my phone.

"No need." Jaxton said and I frowned at him. "I found him." He said and pointed ahead, I turned my gaze to the dance floor and there he was, dancing with Claudia and Zach.

"Do we go say hi or....do we just...what do we do?" Dom asked while I just stared at Claudia dancing close to Henry, they'd stop and laugh at Zach's funny dance step and she wouldn't stop touching his arm.

"Unbe-fucking-liveable, look at her outfit."

I forced a smile. "Let's go say hi." I said and walked ahead before they followed, i was right behind Henry and he was laughing, I tapped his shoulder and he turned and his smile grew.

"Hey!!!" He picked me up and I instantly laughed, he kissed me with that smile and I wrapped my arms around him.

"Hi."

"You look amazing." He said as he stared at me.

"Thank you." I ginned.

Jaxton had made me wear black jeans, boots and a red crop top which belonged to him actually, he had told Dominic to bring it when he was coming.

He put me down and I looked at Zach. "Don't you know how to greet your elders?"

"Fuck you." He replied and I pulled his ear hard.

"Ow. Ow. Ow."

Dom and Henry exchanged handshakes and he spoke with Jaxton for a short while, I was attacked by a hug and it was Claudia.

"Hey! It's so nice to see you again! I keep telling Henry to invite you over but he keeps saying you're busy."

Busy?

"Oh. Well, I'm here now." I fake smiled.

"God, I'm thinking of changing my hair color to white like yours."

I laughed. "It doesn't suit everyone but you can give it a try."

She grinned. "I love your outfit."

"Thank you. You too."

Claudia was dressed in a short leather skirt and a red bra like top.

"We're matching." She grinned.

"We.....are. Yay"

I fucking hate this.

She put her arm around my shoulder. "You're with me tonight. He's with me!" She announced and Jaxton let out a fake laugh.

"No, hun." He said and grabbed my arm. "Tonight? It's Denry." He said and pushed me towards Henry.  "We're celebrating them."

I wrapped my arms around Henry and wiggled my brows. "Dance with me."

"It would be an honor." He said and I laughed. Henry and I danced together while Jaxton danced with Dominic and Claudia danced with Zach and if she ever went to close to him, Jaxton would appear right in their middle, stopping them from doing shit.

The night started out great and i was enjoying myself; we had told Mom we were going to study at Raven's since SAT was close, of course she had to believe.

After dancing and getting exhausted, we all sat on a long ass booth which was reserved for Zach Pratt, of course.

"Zach, this place is amazing." Jaxton said with a smile. It really was, there were chandeliers which shined blue and red. Wow. First time seeing that.

"I know, it's one of the best clubs here. When it's the weekend, you guys won't even be able to come here cause y'all aren't special, no offence." He said wirh a smirk and I rolled my eyes. "The gods, which is us of course will take over."

"You mean rich douchebags with tiny dicks." I said, Claudia and Dominic both laughed.

"Good one." She said and I smiled. "Zach is a narcissist, a stupid one at that."

"Amen," Dominic replied, raising a glass.

"Hey. That's mean, don't join Dumbledore and gang up on me. Both of you."  He said and I snorted, sipping my drink.

"That would be tiring." I replied. "Exchanging words with you, do you even know what exchanging is?" I asked and he gave me the middle finger.

"Screw you, Zachary."

"I'm glad you came out with us," Henry whispered into my ear and bit my earlobe softly making me laugh.

"That's all thanks to Jaxton." I whispered back.

"You're really beautiful."

"Are you drunk?" I asked with a laugh.

"Tipsy? Yeah. Drunk? No." He said and we both burst out laughing

"What is funny? We wanna know." Jaxton said and I looked at all of them, staring right back at us.

"Are you sure you wanna know?" I asked with a smirk and they all grimaced and said at the same time.

"No,"

"No, thank you."

"Pass."

I chuckled and looked back at Henry. "How's Mary?"

"Mary? You know you've been asking about her a lot."

"I have?"

"You have something you wanna tell me?"

"Nope."

"Yes. So, tell me, babes." He said and turned to me with a cute smile. "I am all ears, my love."

I swallowed.

I didn't want to spoil his mood.

"Henry, I-"

"Dylaaaan."

"It's just not my place to say what I want to say because it is not my story and I will be taking it away from the hands of the people who should."

Henry looked at me, now concerned. "Dylan, there is apparently something and I would like to know now, please."

I hesitated to. "Okay, one second." I said, stood up and dashed into the bathroom. I quickly called Henry's mother and once she answered, i apologised to her because apparently I had been asking about Mary more times than I should have and now Henry suspects something.

Henry's Mom gave me the go ahead. "Tell him." She said. "I don't want you hiding things from him either, and besides, I am not ashamed to tell that story, I will tell him myself too, we all suffered because of Mary, he has the right to know."

"So, you are okay with me saying?"

"Of course, sweetheart. It was thoughtful of you to call me first, you can tell him what you know about her, or what I told you, and when he comes to confirm it from me, I'll tell him the story."

I nodded. "Okay, umm, I have to go now. Thank you, and he safe.."

"You too, child."

I hung up, let out a deep breath and went back to the booth.

"Sorry,"

"You okay?" Henry asked.

I nodded. "Yes, yes."

"You don't exactly have to if you do not want to talk about it, you know? I just would have loved to know."

"Mary is hiding something from you." I instant said.

Henry frowned. "What's that?"

I gulped. "Maybe we should talk at the bar." I said, hinting at how we had people here.

Henry just stared at me with a frown before nodding. "Okay," he said and stood up.

"We'll be right back, we'll be at the bar." I said and Claudia frowned.

"Is everything okay?"

I smiled. "Of course." I said right before we left to the bar.

"So, what is this secret?" He asked once we got there, furrowing his brows at me.

I sighed. "Mary wasn't just any woman your father met."

His frown deepened. "What do you mean?"

"Your mom told me she and Mary go way back, like way back, they were best friends and she slept with your father when your mom and your dad were dating," I explained and Henry just stared at me like I had dropped a bomb on him.

"What?"

"I know, I'm sorry, i...I wanted to tell you when she told me but it wasn't my story to tell and i wanted Mary to tell you herself but she still fucking hasn't and I know you hate when i know stuffs and don't tell you."

"That fucking bitch!" He snarled before looking at me. "That's not all, is it?"

I shook my head. "On... the day of the....accident, Mary texted your father. It seems they were still....having an affair and....your mom saw it, that's why they argued, it upset her." I explained.

Henry swallowed hard. "Mary cost me my father. She took away my mother from me for thirteen years. That bitch, she ruined my fucking life and tried to act like she cared all these time? Made me suddenly trust her when she was nothing but a fucking lying home wrecker."

"Henry, take it easy. Deep breaths." I said and placed my hand on his. "Deep breaths."

"I hate her." He said, clenching his fist and his eyes were full of...blood.

So much anger.

That anger.

"Henry. Breathe with me." I said, placing both hands on his cheeks, I began to breathe in and out slowly and he did the same. "Good, that's good."

He kissed my hand and placed his head on my shoulder. "that's why my mom fucking hates it when I defend her. I've been defending her fucking best friend who ruined her life. My life."

"I know. I know." I said, holding him. "it's okay, it's okay." I said and kissed his cheek.

Henry and I sat at the bar for close to five minutes until he cooled off. "Thank you for telling me."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

He smiled. "At least you told me."

"Yeah, I did." I smiled back.

"You wanna head home?"

"Henry, it's still-"

"We could go back to your place."

"Yeah, no." I laughed. "I told my mom I was spending the night to Raven's to study, so....let's just go to yours."

He smiled. "Perfect."

"Can you drive? Aren't you...drunk?"

"Tipsy, baby boy, tipsy." He said and held my hand and with a smile, we both walked back to the booth were the others were drinking and laughing. "Hey guys, we're gonna head out." I announced.

"Is everything okay?" Zach asked.

"Yeah, I just....we just think we should call it a night." Henry said with a shrug.

"Oh, I'll uh, I'll pack my things and we can go." Claudia said and Jaxton's eyes widen.

"What? No!" Jaxton said with a laugh. "i am having so much fun with you, Zach will drop you at Henry's place." He said and when I looked at him, he rolled his eyes and put on the fake smile back, making me almost laugh.

"He's right." Zach said, wiggling his brows.

Claudia chuckled. "Okay, and besides the boys could use some time alone. I am having fun with these guys."

"Great then." I smiled. "See you all tomorrow."

"Oh, can I...have a word with Dylan before you both go?" Claudia said and we all had a confused look on, I looked at Jaxton who had his mouth open, Henry's brows were knitted and Zach, confused.

"Uh..."

"Oh relax guys, I'm not gonna eat him." She said and stood up, she held my hand and pulled me aside.

"Okay?"

"So," she turned to me. "I just wanted to apologize."

I chuckled, confused. "Apologize for what?"

"I know because of me you and Henry haven't been spending a lot of time together and I'm sorry,"

"No, it's fine, really."

"It's just, it's been years since I saw them both and I'll be going back to New York soon and i just wanna create memories and they both help out and I swear I don't mean to cause trouble if I am."

I chuckled. "Claudia, I don't hate you."

"Oh thank God, it felt like you did."

"I don't. Was just going through shit," i smiled. "I understand and Zach and Henry are your childhood friends, it's okay to want to spend time with them so you can have fresh memories."

She smiled. "You. Are. Amazing, I swear." She said and hugged me. "Thank you for understanding."

I grinned. "Of course, goodnight."

"Goodnight." She replied as I walked over to Henry.

"What was she talking about?" He asked as he put his arm around my shoulder and we made our way out.

"She was just apologizing. I swear she's sweet."

"Told ya." He smiled and I chuckled.

***

"I am so sorry I ruined your night," I muttered once we were up in his room, laying on his bed. We only had our briefs on and no, we didn't have sex.

"You didn't ruin my night." Henry replied.

"I guess I should have prepared you first."

"That's sounds dirty." Henry said and I laughed.

"You need a new brain, a fresh, pure one."

"You're there to ruin it." He said with a smile and I laughed again.

"That is no lie."

He kissed me. "Did I tell you, you looked beautiful tonight?"

"Yes." I snickered. "I was just wearing a red crop top."

"Well, it's so hot on you." He said and kissed my neck.

"Oh my God, you're so gay."

"I am." He replied as he continued, making me chuckle.

"Get a hold of your dick, Henry." I said as I felt his harden dick press against me.

"That's your job, Dyl."

I laughed. "Asshole."

"Is mine." He finished and I laughed.

"You are so fucking drunk."

"I'm not."

"You drank from the whiskey in the cabinet, your mom would have murdered you if she had seen you."

"Well, she didn't. Gah, I want you."

"I'm not letting a drunk guy fuck me."

"I'm not drunk and I can count one to ten to prove it. Okay, maybe five."

"Yeah, that will do it." I chuckled.

He sighed and laid back on the bed and pulled me closer to him, snuggling me.

"I love you, Dylan." He muttered, eyes closed.

"I love you too, Henrique." I said and kissed him softly.

***

A ray of sunshine flashed in my eyes and I winced, waking up instantly, feeling like a vampire while Henry groaned. I finally was able to open my eyes and saw Claudia smiling.

"Rise and shine, boys."

"What the fuck, Claudia." Henry through a pillow at her, turning to the other side.

I grunted and pulled the sheets up, covering my face as I tried to get some sleep again.

"Boys, don't you have school? It's seven thirty." She said and I threw the sheets off my face.

"What?"

"Yeah, class starts in thirty minutes. See you boys downstairs." She said and stared at our clothes on the floor and smiled. "Drunk sex? Yes."

"No, not.. "

"Claudia, get out." Henry murmured and with a laugh, she walked out, closing the door behind her.

I couldn't get out of bed with Claudia in the room cause of the morning greetings from mini Dylan.

"We are so screwed! Wake the fuck up!" I said pushing Henry but he didn't even care. "Henry, do not let me jump on you."

"You go shower first, I'll shower next."

"No, that will take time." I said and got up, taking off my briefs. "If I get in that bathroom and you aren't there a minute later, there will be a reckoning." I said and made my way to the bathroom.

"Nice ass." He muttered and when I turned back, he was sitting up. "Oh, someone's hard." He said smirking at me.

"Aren't you always?" I retorted and walked into the bathroom.

"I was talking about y- nevermind." He sighed.

I was wearing the same clothes as yesterday, thankfully I didn't sleep on them but they sort of smelled like alcohol, so I used Henry's perfume and put on his jacket as well. We both walked down the stairs together and I ran to give Catherine a hug in the living room.

"Hi, hi. Good morning."

"Dylan! I didn't know you slept over." She said as she hugged me back.

"Yeah, I came over late. You were asleep."

"It's fine. How are you?"

"Late to school." I said and kissed her cheek before turning to Henry. "Got everything."

"Yeah, got our breakfast and lunch."

I smiled and turned my gaze back to Catherine.   "Nos vemos viniendo." I said and she frowned.

"No." She laughed. "It's nos vemos más tarde."

I blinked. "What did I say before?"

"See you coming."

"Shit. Well see you later." I said as Henry walked over to us and pecked his mother's cheek.

"Cuídate." Henry said before pulling away.  We said our farewells and rushed out of the house and into Henry's car.

We got to school at ten minutes past eight and i couldn't stop ranting about how we were so late.

"Dylan, relax."

"Can't believe I overslept. It's your fault."

"Me? What'd i do?" He asked with a laugh as we ate our sandwich while heading to class, the hall was so empty.

I turned to him and quickly finished my sandwich, he handed me a bottle of water and I took a long sip before wiping my lips.

"Love you, bye." I said and began walking away when he cleared his throat and I stopped. I rolled my eyes and turned to him with a sigh, Henry looked elsewhere and pouted. I shook my head and made my way back to him, I twirled him to look at me and kissed him on the lips. "Better?" I asked, our foreheads pressed against each other

He grinned. "Much better."

I shook my head again with a chuckle before patting his shoulder and turning. "See you later!" I said  while running off to class.

"I. Am. So. So sorry." I said as I walked into calculus.

"Mr. Dylan, you're late." Mr. Long neck said. Yeah, his neck was sorta long and i kept forgetting his name.

"Yeah, I know, it's kinda obvious." I replied and his brow rose. "I'm sorry, a car ran over a homeless man right in front of me and I just....I had to call nine one one and make sure he was okay, I couldnt just leave him." I said, my voice dripping with sadness and sincerity that half the class awwed and looked shocked.

"Oh my God, is he okay?" Mr. Long neck asked and I nodded while Raven rolled her eyes.

"He was breathing according to the medics."

He smiled. "That was really brave of you, Dylan."

I smiled back. "I just couldn't leave him to die."

"Have a seat, please." He said and I nodded, taking a seat beside Raven whom Jaxton sat next to.

Gwen was sitting at the far end and shaking her head at me, I waved at her.

"Seriously?" Raven muttered and I smirked.

"Please, show some sympathy." I whispered and they both laughed softly.

***

"Did you think of that homeless man thing before you said it?" Jaxton asked as we made our way to the library and by we I mean Raven, Jaxton and I.

"Nope, I just let the spirit take control." I said and he chuckled.

"Well that was smart." He said and I gave a small bow.

"Such a pretty liar." Raven said with a smile.  "You know you look so much like a slut today, what's up?"

"Oh so, we went to a club last night and this is Jaxton's top actually, and-"

"Wait, you guys went to a club without me? What the fuck?!" Raven cursed.

"I just....it was a late something." I shrugged.

"Yeah." Jax nodded.

"Whatever. So what happened?"

"I slept at Henry's and I wore this to school and I had nothing." I sighed. "Oh and Jaxton, what the hell was that thing you were doing stopping Claudia from dancing with Zach."

"Uh," he snorted. "Zach belongs to Raven, it's my job to protect my best friends man."

"We're not dating, Jaxton." Raven rolled her eyes.

"Whatever happened? You said you were gonna talk to him, I guess the talk didn't go well."

"No. It didn't. We had a fight." She sighed.

"About what? Marking sex day on the calendar?" Jaxton asked with a frown as we walked into the library.

"No, I just-" at that moment I felt a hard shove and I found myself on the floor, I winced in pain as my elbow began to hurt. "ow!"

"What the fuck, Bruce!!" Raven snarled.

I looked up and there stood Bruce with a smug on his face, I just sat there feeling pathetic. I wanted to yell at him and say some words but they never came out.

People were staring.

"Seriously, Bruce. You're like eighteen, when are you gonna finally grow up and stop acting like a seven year old erect dick." Jaxton sneered.

"You should watch the way you speak to me  these days, Jaxton." Bruce warned.

"Or what? I'm gay too okay, if you have a problem when it comes to gay people then hit me as well but we all know that's not the fucking problem, is it? You're not homophobic, you're just a dick with Mommy issues." Jaxton yelled, sounding enraged as he clenched his fist. 

He had definitely crossed some line, Bruce looked agitated. He took a step towards Jaxton and Raven stood in front of him.

"Lay your filthy finger which is the size of your dick on him or Dylan ever again in your incompetent, wretched, god forsaken, abominable, worthless, paltry excuse of a life again and I will make you pray for death. I will fucking make you leave Eastwood high before your exams and you will have to face another year as the worthless skullfuck you are." Raven threatened, taking a step towards him. "I will cut off your father's dick and have you eat it, you sick psycho. What? Did Eric suddenly die and possess you? Get a life! Stop being a dick because you are not cut out to be one. You are nothing and that is all you will ever be in this life." She scorned. "Now get the hell out of my face or I swear to God, I will put on a show that will have you boys expelled in two seconds."

Bruce's face was red with anger, he gritted his teeth as he looked at me and back at Raven. "Let's go." He said and walked away with his boys. Bruce knew better, Raven never bluffed about stuffs like this and I was sure every word she said hit a spot. He pushed a kid out of the way angrily as he stormed out of the library and down the hall.

"Great job, dipshit!" Jaxton called out to him before reaching down to me. "hey, you okay?"

I nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Your body's suddenly cold." Raven said as she helped lift me up.

"I'm fine," I forced a smile and gulped. "What you guys just did, it was....it was really cool, thanks."

"You've had our backs countless times, we'll be your rock till you get back on your feet." Jaxton said with a smile.

"What if....what if it doesn't happen? What if I'm like...broken?" I shrugged.

"You are not broken, sweetie." Raven said with a smile. "It'll be fine, I promise."

"Let's get you to the nurse's office to treat that before it gets infected." Jax said and I nodded.

"Yeah."

***

"

I swear, Bruce's face was funny as fuck, he was hurt." I said with a laugh as we all exited the school door, heading home and I mean all of us except Henry and Zach.

"You need to come get us when this happens." Jon said and I shook my head.

"I'm not weak and besides Jaxton and Raven took care of it, it was so badass. I've never been proud of you both." I said and spotted Henry and Zach walking our way. "No one tell Henry, he'll go to jail if we do, for murder."

"Maybe it's time Bruce kicked the bucket." Gwen said with a shrug. .

"Yeah, we could make it look like suicide." Raven said in agreement. "I'll bring the tools."

"I'll get the gloves." Gwen said, smiling.

"Guys!" I whisper yelled.

"Hey!"

"Heeey!" I turned to Henry with a smile, he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me.

"What are we talking about?" He asked and as if having a psychic connection, we all said 'SAT' except Jon who said tacos.

"T-Tacos d-during  SAT." He shrugged, rephrasing.

"Well, Raven will you drop me home?" Jaxton asked her and she smiled.

"Of course. Come on."

"Heyyyy, guys!!!" A female voice shouted, we all turned to our right and saw Claudia coming out of a taxi.

"You have fucking got to be kidding me." Raven muttered.

"What is she doing here?" Jaxton asked.

"I...don't know." Henry replied as Claudia walked towards us holding different bags. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"I went shopping and i remembered you guys close early."

"What if we all had detention?" Raven asked with a frown.

"Well thankfully you don't." She faked a smile at Raven.

Claudia was getting quite the stares from boys and girls even, she was just dressed in a short black gown and gold earrings.

"What are you doing here?" Zach asked, smiling.

"Okay so, I wanted to personally invite everyone tonight to Henry's house." She said with a big smile.

Raven huffed. "For what? It's not your funeral. Wait," she smiled. "Are you like dead and this is just your ghost?"

"Raven, be nice." I warned.

"Ignore her." Zach said and Raven frowned.

"I'm just trying to be know you all, Raven." Claudia said, seriously. "You don't have to be so mean."

"I apologize on her behalf, please continue." Gwen said.

"Well I'm arranging a little get-together tonight and i wanted to invite all of Henry's and Zach's friends." Claudia smiled. "I mean it was really fun hanging out with you and your boyfriend last night." She said, referring to Jaxton who just fake smiled. "so, I wanna know you all. Tonight at eight?"

"Sorry," Raven faked a smile. "We are all kinda bu-"

"We'll be there." I interrupted. "All. Of. Us." I said, glaring at every one of them. "Right?"

"Right." Jon smiled. "I'm in."

"Awesome." Claudia grinned. "Oh shit, Henry, i forgot to get some stuffs at the store, can you take me ?"

"Uh, I was gonna drop Dylan at home."

"Oh!" Her eyes widen. "I am so sorry, i eient...shit. I didn't know."

I laughed. "it's okay, Henry can take you."

Claudia shook her head. "No. Henry will drop you at home like the gentleman he is, he's your boyfriend, duh." She huffed. "I will go with my other bestfriend," she said and walked over to Zach, locking arms with him. "We look adorbs, don't you think, Raven?" Claudia said, she was obviously trying to make Raven jealous and it was funny.

"Come on, Zachie. To the bat mobile." Claudia said and I laughed. "see you guys later, oh and invite Dominic, the Sub Slayer." She said as they both walked away.

I snickered.

"My goodness, she just had to be sexy and funny. God, she's so perfect." Jaxton sighed.

"Stop hating "

"Bitch." Raven muttered, fuming as she watched Zach open the car door for her.

"Come on, let's go." Henry said and I turned to my friends. "See you all tonight. Oh and Raven, Jaxton, come over so I can get a free ride." I said and hurried to catch up with Henry.

"Thank you for saying yes." Henry said as I strapped my seatbelt in.

"Well of course, why wouldn't I? Claudia's precious."

"I know she's having this get together to make you guys trust her." He ssid as he started the car.

I frowned, confused. "What do you mean?"

"She thinks you guys hate her. I know, it's absurd but she thinks so and wants to clear the air."

"We don't hate her." I mean JaxJax and Raven do but. "how could anyone hate her."

"I know right? She's the nicest person ever."

Now I feel horrible.

"So, thank you for saying yes."

"Of course." I replied and kissed him. "Oh, what about your mom?"

"She probably suggested the get together for peace." Henry chuckled.

"Ah! Of course." I laughed.

***

"I cannot fucking believe you said yes to this." Raven said with a groan. "Like what the fuck were you thinking? That girl is a vampire." She grimaced.

"A hot one." Jaxton muttered.

We were all in my room getting ready to leave. Raven was dressed in black leather pants and a red, really tight sleeveless top that showed her perky boobs and matched her lipstick.

Jaxton was putting on shorts, a black top with a panda drawn on it, a pair of white socks and black shoes.

I on the other hand was dressed up in black pants and a blue top. Simple.

"You guys are too much. Henry told me she was doing this for all of us because she thinks we hate her." I said as I fixed my hair in the bathroom.

"Oh, isn't she smart." Raven rolled her eyes.

"So, let's be on our best behavior " I said as I walked back into my room.

"I have to pretend to be nice? Great." Raven said, sarcastically.

"It's a get together, a little party, why are you dressed like a whore?" I asked her and she gasped.

"Excuse me."

"Isn't it obvious?" Jaxton said with a chuckle. "Zach."

I smirked. "He can't resist such perfect bossom." I said and Jaxton laughed.

"You boys are crazy. Can we go, it's eight forty."

"It was your fault." I stated and she shrugged

"And Dominic is waiting for us." Jaxton said and answered his phone. "Hey baby," he jumped out of the bed. "Yeah, we're on our way, I... I promise. We'll be there very soon. Mmhmm, sure. Love you." He said and hung up. "let's go."

"Such a liar." Raven smirked.

"I've gotten texts from Henry and Jon, let's move." I said, staring at my phone.

***

We finally got to Henry's house, everyone was busy talking and drinking and the song was sort of loud.

"Finally." Dominic muttered.

"It's all Raven's fault, I'm so sorry." Jaxton said and kissed him.

Raven and I left them and Jon smile grew once he saw us.

"Hey!" He arpooached us. "Wow, Raven, you are smoking hot."

Raven smiled. "Thank you, baby. Where's Gwen?"

"In the kitchen with Claudia."

Raven's mood changed. "Of course." She huffed and spotted Zach rushing down the stairs. "excuse me." She said with a smirk and walked away.

I chuckled.

"She's so into him." Jon said, sipping from his red cup.

"Is Henry's mother home?"

"I don't think so, I think she went to a friend's."

"Better. Cause it's noisy." I murmured. "So, when are you taking me on a lovely date."

Jon smirked. "Soon, babe, soon. I'm not supposed to spill the details."

I gasped. "you are so lovable."

"Only for you." He said and I laughed. "I wonder where Henry is."

"Right behind you." Jon said and i turned to see him walking towards me with two cups in his hand. "Later," Jon said and disappeared.

I grinned. "Hey."

"Hi, baby." Henry smiled and kissed me before handing a cup to me.

"What's in it?"

"I didn't think you'd want anything alcohol."

I shook my head, laughing. "I don't."

"It's Sprite."

I smiled. "I love you."

"Oh yeah?" He leaned closer.

"Yeah." I grinned and just as we were about to kiss, Claudia called his name from God knows where before appearing. "I'm sorry, I have to borrow him."

I smiled. "sure."

And she took him away.

I knew the night was gonna be fun.

So I thought.

I was so wrong.

Claudia was everywhere, she was beginning to piss me off. She was everywhere Henry and I were, at first i saw it as nothing but i had Raven and Jaxton whispering into my ear all the time.

Why won't she stay away? She always needed his help with something.

She would laugh with Henry, even when it was time to dance, she was fucking dancing with my man! He barely had time for me.

Me.

His fucking Boyfriend.

My Sprite changed to alcohol as I watched throughout the night.

Everyone was having fun laughing, dancing, playing around except me

"She's gonna steal your man."

"Look at that bitch, she's touching him!"

"Why the fuck is she smiling like that?"

"And that is how you lose your lover."

"I'm worried."

Those were words from my best friends into my ears, adding fuel to the fire.

I was beyond jealous.

I had the right to be jealous.

I couldn't hide it.

Claudia tried numerous times to have a conversation with me but I barely gave her the attention because i was feeling irritated. I was beyond mad and she finally left me alone.

The alcohol must have reached my head cause as i stared at the guys play and the two laughed, they kissed and Claudia looked at me with a smirk as she kissed my boyfriend.

I clenched my fists angrily.

"Dylan." I blinked and turned to my right and there stood Gwen. "Are you alright?"

I looked ahead and they weren't kissing, I sighed and smiled. "yeah, I just...have a little headache."

"Well we are about to play a game, you in?"

I nodded. "sure." I said and got down from the kitchen stool, I began making my way to the living room when i tripped and fell, laughing afterwards. "Ow! I'm fine."

"Jesus, Dylan, are you okay?" Gwen asked and i nodded.

"Mmhmm."

"Are you drunk?" Raven asked with a chuckle as she approached me.

I laughed. "No."

"Oh my," Claudia appeared and tried to help me up and i slapped her hand off. "Dylan!"

"Leave me alone."

"I just wanna help." she tried to reach for me again.

"Leave me the fuck alone." I yelled as I stood up with the Zach's help.

"Dylan, what's going on?" Henry asked as he rushed towards us.

"I just...tried to help and he just-"

"Will you shut the fuck up, Chlamydia." I said with a scoff.

"Excause me." Her brows knitted.

"Dylan!" Jon called.

"No." I stopped him and turned my gaze back to her. "Seriously, what is your problem? You've been flirting with Henry all night, the audacity!"

"What  are you talking about?" Claudia asked with a frown.

"Dylan, that's enough!" Henry said.

"It's not enough, Henry, or are you blind?" I asked and turned to Claudia. "I see what you've been doing?"

"W-What have I been doing?"

"Rubbing your hands all over him, dancing with my boyfriend and i was just left to sit there like....a bag of Cheetos, like i was just a furniture. You don't do that. You leave my boyfriend alone, you succubus. Incase you think I don't see the shit you do, I am. So go out there and get yourself a fucking boyfriend and leave mine alone or can nobody love you? Just stop being a basic bitch!!" I ranted angrily.

"Dylan!!" Henry yelled and i flinched and it was like at that moment, the alcohol ran out of my body and I became aware of what I said.

Shit.

He was mad. 

"Well, damn." Raven muttered.

Claudia looked hurt. "Dylan, all night i tried to have a conversation with you but you kept shutting me out." She said and chuckled.  "I thought you said you were cool with me," she said and looked at Henry. "So much for getting to know each other." She said in a trembling voice. "Excuse me." She said and walked away.

"Claudia." I called softly but she just ran up the stairs.

I sighed and ran a hand through my head, what the fuck have i done?

The tension in the room was so horrible, it was like aids or something stronger.

I looked at Henry and he was glaring at me, he was so angry.

"Henry, I-"

"Seriously? What the hell has come over you, Dylan? I thought you said you didn't hate her? You don't trust me enough? What the fuck do you think? That I would sleep with Claudia or what? All she wanted to do was be nice, great job being the one to ruin it all." He said and walked away.

"Wait, I'll...I'll go speak with her."

"Don't you think you've done enough damage?" He said and i gulped.

"That's why i should fix it." I said and walked past him and towards the stairs.

Raven and jax followed. "Dylan," Jax called and i turned to them.

"Are you both fucking happy?"

"Dylan, we didn't....think you'd snap like that here." Jax said, quietly and Raven nodded.

"Although, I'm not mad you went all out." Raven said. "She indeed was doing what you accused her of." She shrugged.

"All you guys have done is whisper things into my ears and made me jealous and look what I have done."

"You did nothing wrong, Dylan." Jaxton said, softly.

"Henry's fucking mad at me. I hurt Claudia and all she was tryna do was be nice to me and be a friend. I ruined the party." I said. "And I can't even read people properly because my head is twisted and my stupid anxiety won't let me see right, so I don't know what is what anymore."

"Dylan," Jaxton called softly. "I'm sorry."

"All we wanted to do was help." Raven said.

"How did that work out?" I asked and they went silent. "figured." I said and continued my way up the stairs and into the guest room.

I knocked before walking in, Claudia was sitting at the edge of the bed.

"Hi,"

She wiped her tears and huffed. "You forgot to add something to what you said to me?"

I sighed. "I'm sorry, Claudia. I'm really sorry, i didn't mean what i said."

"Well you sounded like you did."

"I didn't, I swear. I just had voices in my head is all." I said and sat at the other edge of the bed. "You are amazing, Claudia. You are sweet and you've been nothing but nice to me and i had to go be a jerk." I sighed. "I just...got jealous like a fool. I know, it's stupid and I'm sorry, you are Henry's friend, he's amazing childhood friend. I am so so sorry, Claudia."

Claudia smiled softly. "You are so good with words, how can i not forgive you."

I chuckled. "Thank you."

"Raven hates me, doesn't she?"

"Well you did  try to make her jealous at the school " I chuckled. "You and Zach aren't...right?"

Claudia laughed and shook her head as she stood up and made her way towards me. "Me and Zach? God no. Not my type and i don't feel threatened by Raven or you even." She said with a shrug.

I laughed. "Why would you feel threatened by me?"

"That's it. I don't. Because Henry doesn't belong to you."

My smile vanished but then I laughed "Wait, I'm sorry, it sounded like you said Henry doesn't belong to me. I think I'm drunk."

"Henry is mine, Dylan." Claudia said in a threatening tone.

"Excuse you?" My brows rose.

"Henry has always been mine," she shrugged. "We were meant to be. I came back for him, imagine what it was like to find out he was dating a guy." She chuckled. "A fag."

Was i hearing right?

This bitch.

"What about those stuffs you said about supporting us gays."

"Please, Henry isn't gay. He's obviously just going through a phase."

"He's not!" I said and stood up.

"Oh but he is! He isn't thinking straight."

"Obviously, he's gay."

"Don't play jokes with me." She said as she walked slowly towards me.

"Didn't he tell you that I matter the most to him? I mean he never mentioned you, ever. Which would mean you never mattered, Claudia." I said, arching my brow. 

"Henry has always been mine. I was his first love. I was the first girl he had sex with, I was his first everything." She said and I swallowed. She smirked evilly. "The first love always stay, don't they?"

"You had sex with Henry when you were 13? Tone down the lies, Caroline Forbes."

"You are nothing but a phase, Dylan. Did you really think, that Henry would give you a future? Haven't you seen how he's acted since I got here?" She chuckled. "His first love."

I gulped.

Henry would have told me if Claudia was his first love, wouldn't he?

"You are lying. Henry would have t-told me if you were-"

"You are so stupid." She laughed. "What exactly do you know?" She sighed. "Dylan, I'm gonna tell you what to do  Leave. Henry. Alone. He's mine." She muttered as she slowly cocked her left brow.

"Stay away from him, sweetheart. I'm back for him. I'm back to stay and here for him and this will be my final warning to you, faggot. You really are no match for me and here I thought you would be a problem." She laughed . You have no idea the things I can do for Henry, I will go to hell for him, and come back for him. I have always loved him and will remind him of us."

My heart started racing.

I swallowed. "I n-need to leave." I said and just as I was about to go, she pushed me against the wall and trapped me there, glaring at me angrily.

I gasped at the sudden movement.

I wanted to yell at her, call her a dumb bitch but when you have anxiety, you never can say the things you think of. You only say them in your head and end up looking pathetic, like i did. I clenched my fists to stop my hands from shaking.

She laughed in a taunting manner. "You have no fire like he said, do you? You are ordinary. You should have probably died when you got shot. You wanted to be a hero? What were you thinking?" She laughed. "The person you saved has been by my side since i came back here. Forgetting you."

I swallowed.

"That's not true."

"Oh but it is. All I have to do is keep acting and soon he'll leave you and move to New York with me."

That was her plan?

"I am honestly going to say this once. Stay away from him now and if you think you can go tell him about this, in case you didn't know, I'm a great actress and he would never believe you over his first love." She said with a smug on her face. "You are pathetic. Weak. Gay. Henry doesn't need you in his life, you are a liability and I will get rid of you for him." She stated. "He needs to be on the right track. He's straight. Straight." She emphasized and slapped the wall, making me flinch before smiling innocently. "Thanks for the talk, Dylan." She said and catwalked out of the room. "see you downstairs."

Once she was out, I began to breathe heavily, I needed my anxiety meds but I didn't have them. I couldn't be in this fucking place. I needed air. I paced around the room realizing my best friends were right all these time.

Claudia was up to no good.

She was fake.

A fraud. 

I ran out of the room and down the stairs, she was back with the others and then Henry looked at me and smiled and as he approached me, I turned and began to leave.

"Dylan, Dylan, hey." Henry called but I kept walking.

"Dylan." Raven held my arm and I flinched, letting out a gasp. "Jesus, you are shaking, what happened up there?"

"Uh, n-nothing."

"Dylan, what did that bitch do?"

"I need to go."

"Dylan." Henry called and I turned to him, faking a smile. "Hey, what's up? Where you going?"

"I uh,"

"Claudia told me you apologized, I uh, I'm... I'm sorry for you know, yelling at you and-"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

He frowned. "Tell you what?"

"Was Claudia your childhood friend or your first love? W-Was she your first love and the girl you lost your virginity to? Both?" I asked but he remained quiet. "Is that...please tell me it's not true." I said quietly.

Henry swallowed, looking surprised that I knew about this.

"Oh God."

"D-Dylan, I can explain-"

I turned and quickly walked out of the house.

I needed to be away from there.

Henry came after me but I ignored him and quickly stopped a taxi, putting him on mute.

I got into the taxi and told him where I was going.  Remembering Claudia's words made me angry. It made me furious and the fact that I couldn't slap her made me mad at myself.

I took out my phone and called Gwen.

"Hey."

"Hey, Dylan. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, of course. My mom needed me home. Um, can i ask for a favor?"

"Uh, sure, anything."

"Could you text me your uncle's address? Mr. Fisher?"

"Huh? Why do you need his address?"

"Please, Gwen. I need it. It's important. Please."

"Uh, okay. Sure. Give me a sec," she paused. "Okay, I....am....texting....it....to...you....right now. Aaaand it's sent."

My phone vibrated and I smiled. "Thanks, just got it."

"You sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, I am, oh and uh, please don't tell anyone I asked for this."

"Dylan. What are you about to do?"

"I'll see you tomorrow. Thank you, Gwen, goodnight." I said and hung up. I opened the text message and showed the taxi driver. "Hey, can you please take me here."

He looked at the address and nodded. "Sure." He replied and took a left turn.

I

knocked on his door continuously, I was full of anger, mad at myself for being pathetic.

"I'm fucking coming! Jesus!" He said from inside and i stopped. 

The door opened showing Detective Fisher in a pair of jeans and a grey shirt.

"Dylan?" He frowned. "What are you doing here at this hour?"

"You are going to take me to see Johnathan and you cannot fucking say no."
