Chapter 101.

Dylan's P.O.V

I stared at myself in the mirror, letting out a little sigh before picking up my bag and walking out of my room.

"Good morning, Mom, Dad." I greeted as I walked over to the dinning where they were, having breakfast.

I sat down and mom served me with a concerned look on her face. "What's up, honey? You've been moody since last night."

"Anything you wanna talk about?" Dad asked.

"Okay so you remember Claudia."

"No." Dad shook his head.

"She's Henry's sweet childhood friend who came to town." Mom said.

"Oh okay."

"And last night she organized a little get together for us saying she wants to know us because she feels we hate her."

"Aw, sweet." Mom said and I shot her a look. "Sorry, continue."

"Last night, I might have...drank a bit too much and said some things."

"What things?" Dad asked.

"I called her a bitch and told her to stop flirting with my man."

"Oh, Dylan." Mom sighed. "I told you jealousy is a bad thing. Did Henry get mad? He got mad, didn't he? Did you apologize to her at least?"

"Yeah, I apologized to her after what happened and guess what?"

They both frowned. "What?"

"This bitch threatened me. She said I should leave Henry alone, that she was hers and she was gonna do anything to cut me off. That bitch has been putting on an act and then did that?"

"No. Fucking. Way." Mom said, her brows puckered.

"Okay, so when do we burn the witch?" Dad asked. "I'll get the matches, the fuel, cause I hate her already. I hated her the second you said she was Henry's childhood friend." Dad admitted.

"And i couldn't do shit when she trapped me against the wall because of my anxiety, I barely said anything and that sucks."

Mom placed her hand on mine. "I'm sorry, sweetie."

"And guess what she told me."

"Don't say she was his girlfriend in the past or i swear to God." Dad said

"She was his first love and he lost his virginity to her." I stated and Dad sighed.

"Okay, how do we kill her?"

Mom glared at him. "Matthew."

"She's obviously out to get Dylan, that bitch has come back to ruin what they have." Dad said, not feeling sorry.

"I hate that first love shit." Mom sighed.

Dad pouted. "I thought i was your first love."

Mom laughed. "No, Larry Colfer was my first love."

Dad frowned. "What? That guy with the short fingers? Come on, how in the world could he have been your first love?"

"That's my business." Mom said with a shrug. "Now this isn't about us, it's about Dylan." Mom said and turned her gaze to me. "What are you gonna do now?"

"First of all, I'm mad because Henry kept that from me. If he had told me that, I'd have known where to start from and I didn't trust my best friends when they told me Claudia was up to no good." I said with a sigh and stood up. "I should get going."

"Wait, honey, you haven't touched your food." Mom said.

"I'll eat at school, i love you both."

"I'll drive you." Dad said and took a long sip from his coffee, he picked up his suitcase, walked over to mom and kissed her, smiled at Davina and we both left.

Dad parked the car with a sigh once we got to Eastwood high, the school of torment.

"Thanks Dad."

"Hey, kiddo. Don't let this weigh you down, okay? Every relationship won't be a relationship if there was no ex trying to step in and ruin it."

"Yeah well, can I compete with first love? I don't think so." I said as I undid my seatbelt.

"I think you can take her out, just..don't be too hard on yourself."

I smiled. "Thanks Dad." I said and got out. I made my way into the school and Jon quickly ran to me and tackled me into a hug. "Okay, baby boy, relax."

"Are you okay?" He asked, still hugging me.

"Yeah,"

"You're not. I'm the love of your life, I know when you're lying," He said and pulled away and i smiled.

"We don't need everyone to know we are planning on eloping and getting married." I said and pinched his cheeks.

"I think Gwen suspects."

I gasped. "Well, we have to get rid of her before she tells someone."

Jon pouted. "I'll try to clear her suspicions, we are not killing Gwen."

"Okay, pretty boy."

"Oh my God, Dylan." Raven practically screamed and ran to me, hugging me tight.

"Ow! Ow!"

"Sorry. You weren't picking any of our calls, we were worried. Are you okay?" She asked, looking concerned.

I forced a smile. "I'm fine, Raven, i promise. I just needed to clear my head." I lied. "Where's Jaxton?"

"Speaking with principal Evans." Raven answered.

"Is he in trouble?" I inquired with a frown.

"Nah," Raven replied.

"Oh well, we better head to-" I trailed off when my eyes met Henry, i wanted him to disappear but he began approaching us. "Fucking kidding me."

"He's been asking of you." Jon said and I turned to him.

"Well I don't want to talk to him at the moment." I said angrily and walked ahead.

"Dylan." Henry called and i walked past him, he followed. "Dylan, please talk to me. You weren't replying my texts or answering my calls."

I remained quiet, trying to ignore him. I was mad at my boyfriend, why did people always say they hated when i lied but lied or kept secrets.

"Dylan," he held my arm and I shrugged it off.

"Do not fucking let me make a scene right now, Henry. Leave me the fuck alone, seriously." I warned.

"Dylan, I was gonna tell you."

"When?" I asked, cocking my head to the side. "When I finally die? When Claudia dies and resurrects? I'm having a hard time figuring that out, Cisco." I said and resumed my walk.

"I swear i was gonna tell you," he said as he followed. "I just....I didn't mean for you to find out like this."

I laughed. "Funny," I turned back to him. "Those were the exact words I said to you when i was begging you back in Westbrook, and you wanna know what you did?" I asked and he swallowed. "How about I show you instead." I said and walked away, leaving him in the hall.

***

I barely paid attention, all I wanted was to go home, It felt like an eternity passed before a second would on the clock. Today was slow as fuck and I wanted to scream, the teachers and everyone wasn't making this easy.

"Okay, uh, today Dylan, you'll be reading Romeo's part." Mrs. Wilder said and I nodded. "let's see you act."

I nodded and stood up, I was making my way to the front of the class when someone cleared his throat loudly. Our heads turned to the door and there stood Principal Evans and next to him was my boyfriend.

"Well, I'm sorry to interrupt but Henry will be in drama class as of today." Principal Evans said and I rolled my eyes.

"You have to be fucking kidding me." I muttered.

"Oh okay, well come on in Henry and take a seat beside Heather or Samuel. Don't go close to Tina, she'll give you a brain damage." Mrs. Wilder said with a smile.

Henry just stared at me and when I looked at Principal Evans, he winked. This was what he meant by i wouldn't be kissing just anybody, he brought Henry to me.

"Okay, see you all later." Principal Evans said and vanished while Henry slowly made his way to his seat.

"Dylan, okay, you can begin."

"Actually I'm gonna pass, I need to excuse myself Mrs. Wilder, can I leave?"

"Uh," her brows knitted and i begged her with my eyes. "Um, sure, I can have one of the talented once read today."

"Thank you." I said and packed my things, I was about to leave when Henry called out my name and i snapped at him. "Don't! Seriously!"

While people might say I was overreacting, i wasn't. I was allowed to be mad at my boyfriend for hanging out with her and hiding this from me.

I didn't go to lunch, I stayed in the library reading, or trying to read. The SAT was close, our final exams, I needed to be prepared but Clymadia just decided to come to Eastwood and be Henry's first everything.

Why was it so slow? I needed to leave this place. I needed to get my life back.

"Hey."

I looked up and there stood Jaxton and Gwen.

"Hey," I faked a smile.

"You okay, sweetie?" Gwen asked as she sat.

"Of course," I nodded. "Do i look like I haven't slept all night and have been thinking?"

"Yeah, kinda." Jax nodded.

"I stayed awake watching big bang theory."

"You lie so well if we didn't know the situation we'd think it was true." Raven said, appearing from nowhere and taking a seat with Jon.

"What is this? Therapy? I already go to one."

"Dylan, what happened last night?" Jaxton asked and i swallowed.

"Well, you both were right," I said to Jaxton and Raven. "Claudia is up to no good." I said and told them everything that happened, everything Claudia said.

"Shit." Raven slammed her hand on the table and the Librarian shushed her with a glare. "That bitch! I knew it! I knew that daughter of Lucifer was up to no good."

"She fucking threatened you?" Gwen frowned. "Can we at least drown her or something?"

"I cannot believe I fell for that act, i have become so weak it's disgusting. This isn't me. I couldn't do shit. I couldn't even threaten her. Claudia is not the angel we thought she was." I said tiredly and ran my hand through my hair.

"She fooled us too, Dylan, it's not your fault, she's an amazing actress too, she forgot to add that to her introduction." Jon said and I sighed.

"I just hate feeling so helpless."

"You are not." Raven said. "Listen, Dylan. Claudia is a big threat, she lives with him and she's trying to make you give up on Henry, to be mad at him."

Jaxton nodded. "You are right, you can't let the Denry ship sink."

"But I'm allowed to be mad. I'm allowed to furious! To want to...burn someone."

"Not the l-last part." Jaxton stuttered and I sighed.

"I'm sorry guys, I'm sorry for not listening to you both, I just...I didn't want to upset Henry and I didn't want it to be true but, it was." I muttered.

Jaxton patted my back. "It's understandable, we're not mad, I mean we've done worse, you've tried to help us out billions of times and we've shut you out like the fools we were."

"That is no lie," Raven agreed. "I mean you wouldn't have known but Henry assured you she was just a friend." Raven sighed.

"Sure, a friend he shared a bed with." Jax said and Gwen kicked him from under the table. "Ow! The fuck, Gwen!"

"You aren't making things better, Sophia the first." Gwen said, scowling at him.

"But he's right." I shrugged.

"Don't beat yourself up, it's not your fault." Jon said and put an arm around my shoulder, I smiled.

"I'm grateful for you guys, honestly."

They all smiled. "We love you too." Raven said and just then Henry appeared and my mood turned sour.

"Dylan, we need to talk."

"I'm sorry, did you guys hear anything?" I asked and they all looked at each other awkwardly, not saying a thing. "Yeah, me neither."

"Dylan. Please, I really need to speak with you." Henry said, softly.

"I don't want to talk, Henry. I told you already. Leave me alone."

"I just need to let you know everything, I need to explain why I didn't tell you?"

"What is there to fucking explain?" I chuckled bitterly. "I know she's your ex and the girl who took your V card, what else do you want to tell me? The positions you both did?"

"Dylan-"

"I'm out." I said and picked up my books. "I'll see you guys later." I said and left the table, Henry grabbed my arm and turned me to face him.

"I'm sorry I hurt you, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Claudia sooner. I was gonna tell you, I just-"

"Henry. I don't care." I shook my head at him. "You kept telling me you hated me keeping secrets from you but congratulations, you won secret keeper of the month, and year. How does that feel?" I asked with a shrug.

Henry swallowed and shook his head, looking like he was sad. "Dylan,"

"You told me she was just your friend!" I stated, reminding him. "You told me I had nothing to worry about but turns out I had a lot of things to worry about since you lied at the first place."

He looked away from me, trying to hide his hurt look and I chuckled bitterly.

"Sucks, doesn't it? Don't judge me next time when you are full of shit yourself." I said to him and walked out of the library, leaving him there.

God, I needed air.

***

I was out of class the second the bell rang, i needed to leave this place quick and get this over with if i was gonna deal with that bitch. It had been a crazy and horrible day, fucking slow but school was over, thankfully. I packed my things and walked down the hall searching for Jon, I needed him.

I tried to dodge Raven and Jaxton while i searched for him, i didn't want them to know where i was going because they were gonna try to talk me out of it.

I spotted Jon walking with Gwen, his hand around her shoulder and her hand around his waist. I shook my head, i swear they were so inlove with eachother. I ran towards them and stood in front of them, blocking their part.

"Hey guys."

Gwen smiled. "Hey, Dylan."

"Hey!" Jon grinned. "Uh, I think Jaxton's looking for you, he said he was gonna go find you."

"The bell just rang like four seconds ago." I chuckled. "Um, I'm sorry Gwen, can I...can I borrow Jon? I really need his help."

Gwen nodded. "Of course, I have cheerleading practice anyways." She said with a smile and turned to him, kissing him, he wrapped his arms around her waist and wanted to swallow her.

"Cute but can you guys practice this cannibalism later?"

Gwen rolled her eyes and gave me the middle finger as she pulled away. "I'll see you later tonight." She said, smiling at him. "Don't be late."

"I won't." Jon said with a smirk.

"See you later, Lucifer." Gwen said, smiling at me. "Take care of yourself." She said before walking away.

It was funny that she called me Lucifer when I was going to go see Luci today.

"So, what help do you need?" Jon asked and just as I was about to speak, I spotted Jaxton walking with Raven. "Uh, w-we should go outside." I said and grabbed his arm, dragging him out as fast as I could.

"Woah, slow down." He said once we were out.

"I need your car."

"What? You can't drive."

"Yeah, that's why I'm taking you, I need you to take me somewhere."

Jon frowned as he followed me to the parking lot. "Where?"

"Somewhere. I need to get somewhere."

"Wait, why not wait for Jaxton or...Raven?"

"Jon." I turned to him. "Stop asking questions, okay? I need you."

He frowned. "What the fuck are you up to?" He questioned as we got to his car.

I rolled my eyes as he unlocked it and I got in, once I closed the door, he got in as well.

"Okay, so where are we going?"

"Gwen's uncle's."

Jon frowned deepened. "Mr. Fisher? Wait, why?"

"Because he asked me to come over." I shrugged.

"Dylan, start talking, why are we going there? Why would Gwen's uncle just ask you to come over and why aren't we waiting for Jaxton and Raven?"

"Because....Detective Fisher is taking me somewhere, okay? And we are not waiting for them because I didn't want them questioning me like you are right now like you're my father, and I also didn't want them trying to talk me out of what I'm about to do!" I answered with a sigh. "And you helped me with this before, I need you again."

"What are you about to do?" He asked, his voice filled with curiosity.

I turned my gaze to him. "Promise me you won't freak out or try to talk me out of it."

"Uh, it depends."

"Jon."

"Okay, I promise."

I swallowed. "Detective Fisher is taking me to see Johnathan." I said and Jon just stared at me with furrowed brows.

"Yeah, no, no, we aren't going anywhere. "

"Jon!"

"No! I'm sorry, do I need to remind you the person we are going to see is another version of The Joker?" He asked, frowning at me like I was stupid.

"Yeah, I know but-"

"No, you don't know. I don't think you are fully healed, maybe you have a brain problem,"

"I don't have a brain problem."

"You are going to see Johnathan Frankenstein. Do I need to refresh your memory on what happened the last time I helped you go see him?"

"No, thank you."

"He suddenly became an artist, you became his muse and he drew you," he smiled. "Over fifty time." He finished and I rolled my eyes. "And then he drew your friends dying and, and he turned his roommate into a cyclops for touching and looking at the you he drew,"

"I get it, Jon."

"And then," he continued and I sighed. "He tricked two nurses like the Joker did and he sacrificed them to the devil for loving him and he escaped an asylum. Do you know who that sounds like?"

I sighed. "The Joker."

"The. Joker."

"Of course." I muttered.

"And, he came after you, the boy he is obsessed with and tried to shoot the love of your life but ended up shooting you and you fucking almost died and you've been haunted by him and have been traumatized and it's all because of that one visit." He stated and I swallowed. "One visit that changed everything and you want to risk it again? Go see a psychopath?"

"Yes!!" I turned to him, rapidly. "Yes! I am ready to go see him again and you wouldn't understand! FUCKING LOOK AT ME, JON!!" I yelled, losing it. "Look at who I suddenly have become all because of him! You said it yourself, I'm haunted! I'm weak! I need to see him to get my life back! I don't know who I am anymore, I'm being bullied again and there's a witch from hell that has come for Henry and I will not let him go without a fight. Yes, I'm mad at him but I'm not leaving him for a Victoria secret demon." I shook my head.

"I feel suffocated! I can't breathe! I try to do something, say what I think and I can't! My hands keep shaking and my heart keeps pounding and I forget how to breathe and all I think about is what would happen to me and I can't live like that! I'm tired of depending on my friends. This is my fight and I can't be who I am if I don't confront my fear. The one person that started it all and triggered this." I swallowed. "If you don't want to help me, it's fine. You don't have to take me, okay? I just fucking thought I could count on you to do this for me. I'll find somebody else but don't you dare try to even stop me." I said angrily, I was frustrated, sad, mad. I unlocked the car and was about to step out when Jon pulled me back in.

I looked at him with a frown and he sighed, he groaned and hit his forehead on the steering softly before looking at me with a smile, he pulled me into a hug and kissed my cheek. "Okay, baby boy, I'll help you. I hate that I agreed to this," he said as he pulled away. "I hate that I'm agreeing to this and helping you but fine. I took you to go see him the first time and uh, you need me, I would do anything for you. We are Jolan after all." He said with a smile and I chuckled.

"Fuck, am I crying?"

"You are." He laughed and I wiped my tears off.

"I'm so sorry."

"It's fine, boo. I'm here for you and I'm sorry for....what I ssid and for everything you are going through?"

I swallowed and nodded. "Yeah, I'm sorry for coming out harsh, I understand you are just worried."

"Yeah, I am." He smiled. "But I've got you."

"Thank you, Jon."

"We Bros have to stick together, right? Especially when some Latina bitch from scream queens decide to show up."

I frowned at him. "You watch scream queens?"

"Good show, thanks to Gwen." He said and I laughed, so did he. "Oh shit!" He exclaimed, looking ahead. I followed his eyes and spotted Raven and Jaxton coming our way, waving.

"We gotta go."

"Yeah, we do." He said and started the car, I quickly closed the car door.

"Don't look."

"

Mmhmm," he said and reversed real quick, driving away. "Oh and how the fuck did you get detective Fisher to agree to take you?"

I smirked. "The same way you are taking me to him. Guilt."

Flashback.

"Wait, what? What are you-"

"I need to see him." I said, trying so hard not to cry.

"Um, come on in, let's...talk." Detective Fisher said, looking confused. He opened the door widely and I walked in. His house wasn't so big, it was a comfortable kinda okay, the walls were painted a dark blue and his couches were blue as well, matching the walls. The color and the way the house was decorated made me know it wasn't his doing, someone must have done this for him, but I didn't care about how his house looked at the moment.

Once he shut the door, I turned to him. "I need to meet Johnathan."

"Uh, no." He shook his head. "I'm not taking you to go see him."

"Why not?" I asked with a frown. "I need to see him! I need to speak to him."

"No, Dylan! I'm not gonna take you to go meet someone who could most likely kill you because he's doomsday long lost son."

"You don't understand," I took a step towards him. "Something is wrong with me and I need to confront him and...and speak to him and make him know I an not afraid because once he knows that th-then I'll be fine! Once I get i-it out of my system, please!" I stuttered, feeling choked.

"Dylan, no." He shook his head.

"WHY?!" I screamed.

"Because you triggered him the first time! When you went to see him and he did a lot of horrible things and he's doing better now and if he sees you again then we don't know what that might do to him!"

"And what about me?! Huh?! What about h-how I suddenly turned out? What? This looks better on a guy who isn't a psychopath?"

Detective Fisher sighed. "You should see a therapist, Dylan, maybe that will work."

"Sure. Because telling them that you are a real life version of resident evil would work out so well."

"You are not a vampire."

"I'm sorry, are you missing the point here? My life has turned upside down! I don't know who I am and Dr. Phil can't help me!"

"I can't help you either, Dylan. Maybe you should be committed to the therapy thing, it could help."

"You are going to take me to go see him."

"I'm not." He shook his head.

"P-Please." I cried.

"No. I'm sorry, I can't."

I swallowed and just stared at him, I wiped off the tears the second it fell. "I don't care what you say or thing about this, if I say you are taking me to go see Lucifer then you are."

"It doesn't work that way."

"Oh but it does." I said with furrowed brows. "There's a siren out there trying to take what makes me happy, trying to fucking steal my happiness and I'm about to get bullied like I used to and there is no way in Olympus will I let that happen." I shook my head.

"I understand how you feel, Dylan-"

"Do you? Because if you did then you wouldn't argue this matter with me and help me."

"Johnathan is literally the Antichrist, you said it yourself!" Detective Fisher yelled. "I can't take you there. I'd be risking your safety. Hell, the safety of the world and he's starting to do fine actually. He's cooperating! I failed once, over my dead body will I fail again."

"I am only asking for one thing." I said, I hated that I was about to do what I was gonna do but if there was one thing Daphne thought me apart from spotting a list, it was how to use guilt as a weapon. "Don't you think you owe me, Detective Fisher?" I asked and he frowned at me, hands on his waist.

"What do you mean?"

"You said it yourself, that you owe me." I said and took a step towards him. "When you think about it, you are the reason I'm in this state. It's all your fault."

"My fault?"

"If you had listened to us when we told you Johnathan wasn't just ordinary then maybe you would have put more effort in fucking watching him but you didn't and he escaped. Because of you." I said as I walked slowly towards him, he swallowed and guilt took over. "Because of you, Johnathan got me. He shot me and I'm like this! Because of you I h-have become a weakling and if you don't help me, then live with the fact that you did this to me. That I got my everything taken away from me." I said and he ran his hand through his hair and looked away. "How do you even sleep at night knowing what you did?" I asked and he turned his gaze back to me.

"That was not on me."

"You sure about that?" I asked with an arched brow. He went silent, his face was washed with guilt and sympathy as he stared at me.

I swallowed, hoping it worked. He let out a sigh and turned, his back facing me as he ran his hand through his hair.

"Shit." He cursed before turning to me. "Fine." He said and my brows furrowed. "Text me the second the last bell rings in school tomorrow, and then you leave immediately and meet me here." He instructed and I nodded. "I'll take you."

I smiled. "Thank you."

"Hopefully, it doesn't go all wrong and you don't get him to go on a murder spree because if it does and he kills, you have their blood on your hands and I hope you can sleep at night knowing that people died because of you." He said, firmly.

I swallowed. "You didn't have to go all dark as well." I muttered.

"Isn't it the truth?" He arched his brow and smiled.

***

"You are late." Detective Fisher said once we got out of the car. He was waiting outside, right next to his car, dressed in a nice suit and wearing dark shades.

"I'm sorry, traffic." I said as I walked over to him.

"Hey, Jon." He smiled.

"Mr. Fisher, hi." Jon replied.

"I've told you not to call me Mr. Fisher, Jon. I'm just twenty seven and not married with kids." He said as opened his car.

"Yeah, I...forgot." Jon shrugged.

"See you around, Jon." Detective Fisher said as he got in.

"Hey," Jon walked over to me. "Take care of yourself, okay? If Johnathan tries anything, call me and I'll come over with torture tools."

"So, you and...Gwen are into that kinda stuff? I would never have guessed. I feel hurt, I thought that was our thing."

Jon rolled his eyes with a sigh and pulled me into a hug, I laughed. "Call me later, okay?"

"Okay."

Detective Fisher blew the car horn and I pulled away. "And please, d-"

"Don't tell anyone," he finished and nodded with a smile. "I got you, b-but what about Gwen? What if she asks? I'm not gonna lie to her."

"Then don't. We went on a ride after all." I shrugged and walked over to Detective Fisher's car, I got in as well and buckled my seatbelt.

"Well then, let's go." He said and started the engine before driving away.

The ride was silent and I had to admit that I hated the fact that I had to use the guilt card on Detective Fisher yesterday because he has been nothing but nice to me but it was the only thing I could do to get him to take me.

"I'm sorry," I apologized.

"For what, exactly?"

I sighed. "For what I said last night, I didn't mean it?"

"Are you sure?" He asked as he drove.

"I swear on Johnathan's curved dick."

Detective Fisher's brows knitted as he looked at me for a second. "Um, o-okay."

"I just...I just wanted you to take me and I said those awful things."

He smiled. "It's understandable. I mean, I admire you. You know the strings to pull and you would go to any extent to get what you want. That last part? Isn't always good because you'd end up hurting people in the process." He said, eyes on the road.

I sighed. "yeah, I guess so."

And it went back to silent, I just wanted to get this over with. Twenty something minutes later we got to the police station, I walked beside Detective Fisher as we got in and he took me straight to the visiting room. There were other families visiting the inmates as well, some lawyers, some wives and some friends.

I was sitting and taking in every detail while Detective Fisher spoke to one of the guards, I turned my gaze to them as they spoke in a low tone. Detective Fisher smiled as the police guard went away and came to sit beside me.

"So?"

"Well, they've gone to get him." He sighed.

"Is that really how it works? Don't you have to speak to someone in front first not...a police officer?"

"I did, you didn't pay attention." He said as he adjusted his suit and I nodded.

"Sorry."

Seconds later, one of the policemen or guards or whatever began walking towards us with him by his side.

Johnathan.

I stared at him and everything went away, my heart began to pound erratically as they approached us. Johnathan looked different, his hair was different and had been cut in a different style, he was lean and when his eyes met mine, his eyes widen, they brightened.

Johnathan sat down and smiled at me. "My God, you came." He chuckled. "I thought you wouldn't come see me and I understand if you never wanted to." He said and tried to reach for my hand resting on the table and I pulled it back. "I'm sorry, Dylan. For what I did. I never meant to hurt you and I wasn't thinking. I just wanted to get Henry out of the way and even then I wasn't thinking." He swallowed, I just stared at him. "When I heard you were in a coma, I...hated myself because I did that to you but I'm glad you fought to stay alive. I am so sorry for what I did to you and-"

"Cut the crap, Luci." I said blankly and he gulped. "I know all that is just bullshit. I didn't come here to listen to you tell me how you are sorry when you really aren't. I don't even care at this moment."

Johnathan nodded. "I understand."

"You've hurt me. You've made me feel weak. You've traumatized me. You almost killed me."

"And I'm sorry."

"I don't give a wet monkey ass how you feel, Johnathan. You are evil, you don't scare me anymore because you don't have the power to make me scared. You don't." I shook my head at him. "I hate you. I hate you and I hope you get the judgement you deserve. I hope they give you a death sentence,"

"Dylan." Detective Fisher called, shockingly but I was filled with rage.

"I hope you never get to see the light of day anymore and you don't get to hurt anybody ever. You don't deserve anything good in this life cause all you've done is take people's happiness. All you've done is try to ruin people's life because you are a self centered, low life who couldn't get his shit together and hated everyone for having what he couldn't have."

"Dylan, enough." Detective Fisher said firmly.

"You are a disgrace. A shame to human life. To men. To pansexuals because you are not worthy, you can never be good and you can never take back the things you've done because you are a pathetic waste of sperm and oxygen, you are a fucking monster who needs to be put away."

"Dylan, stop! That is enough words." Detective Fisher warned but I didn't care, Johnathan didn't look me in the eyes anymore and just stared at his hands. "Johnathan, it's not true." He said softly.

"It is. I hate you so much that I want to strangle you. Ever since I woke up, you've been in my head, haunting me and killing me slowly like a parasite, a tumor!" I laughed. "Not anymore. Because I am not scared of you. A rapist. I wish I could get rid of you somehow and then the world wouldn't have to deal with Johnathan fucking Smith. The most pathetic, worthless, sick psychopath who thinks murdering people is so much fun. Those people blood will forever be in your hands, you murdered people who mattered to others. Innocent people all because you wouldn't leave me the fuck alone."

"That. Is. Enough." Detective Fisher said through gritted teeth. "We are done here." He said to one of the guards and I turned to him.

"No, I'm not done."

He looked at me angrily. "We are."

I looked at the guard coming our way and turned my gaze back to Johnathan. "I am not scared of the monster under my bed and neither am I scared of the monster right in front of me." I said and Detective Fisher gripped my arm and pulled me up.

"That's the last of it." He said as he began pulling me away while the guard took a silent Johnathan back inside.

"Wait! Wait! I'm not done!" I said as he dragged me out.

"You are." He said firmly.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!" He yelled angrily once we were outside.

"Why are you so worked up? I just wanted to speak to him! You didn't even let me finish!"

"You said all you wanted to do was tell him you weren't scared of him and then you went ahead and said those shit too? Didn't I tell you he was trying to fucking get better?"

"Why the hell are you so pissed?!! I just had to get it all out. It all just fucking came out! I'm sorry that I couldn't just hold back my anger! Oh wait, you are doing the same!!"

"Don't you fucking try to play smart with me!" He said and pointed a finger at me. "I don't want to see you here again and you better stay the hell away from Johnathan and let him get better! Seriously, get your shit together and don't come back here if you're only trying to fucking make things worse! You need to let him get better as well!"

I frowned. "You know the way you are suddenly defending the Antichrist and the one and only chosen king of Armageddon is really suspicious, Detective Fisher!" I said, cocking my head to the side.

He gave me a confused look. "What are you talking about?"

"If I didn't know better, I'd say your have something for him." I said, emphasizing on the word something and folding my arms.

"Do you have a brain damage? That's absurd! You... You think Johnathan and I are...what the fuck, Dylan? He's a fucking kid and a criminal!"

I stared at him for a few seconds and frowned, shaking my head. "Is that what you tell yourself? That you feel nothing or are you trying to deceive me? Because I can read you right now and you seem tensed." I stated and he chuckled.

"Maybe you're the one reading things wrongly and don't you dare assume such nonsense again, Dylan." He said, anger wrapped around every word. "Go home and don't come back here." He said as he turned and walked back in.

I swallowed.

I hope I was really wrong.

***

I stared at myself in the mirror as Billie Eilish's 'Bellyache' played on my phone. It was crazy to say but I felt different, I felt like I was stress free, like I had some sort of power and it made me feel high.

I smiled at myself as I took off my shirt and ran my hand through my hair, scattering it. It was past eight and I had gone on a long walk and had to deal with my parents for not going to see Doctor Therapist today, I just told them I wasn't feeling too good cause of Claudia and they let it go.

I let out another sigh and then my phone rang, I picked it up and saw it was Raven.

"Hey,"

"Oh my God. Hey, hi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Raven."

"We've been calling you non-stop."

"I'm sorry," I said as I smiled at myself. "I've been...busy."

"Uh, okay. You sure you're okay?"

I nodded. "Of course. I feel magnificent."

"Oh! Well, that's...good."

"Where are you guys?" I asked once I noticed that it was a little bit noisy at the other side.

"Well, we are at a bar."

I frowned. "A bar?"

"Yeah, I know right? It was all Claudia's idea. So she took Henry to a bar, Henry called Za-"

"Wait. Henry went to a bar with Claudia after everything?"

"The bitch is persistent and she's putting on a Grammy's performance if you haven't forgotten. Of course, Henry would go to the bar with her because she's using the fact that she's close to him and the fact that he's really sad about lying to you to control him."

I frowned. "Spill."

"She decided to get him all...alive by taking him out so he wouldn't be sad about his boyfriend not understanding this sort of thing. Her words."

"Interesting."

"So, Henry told Zach, Zach told Dominic to join them, Dominic told Jaxton and Jaxton called me. We couldn't just not go because we had to protect your man even though you're both not on speaking terms and you are mad at him and you obviously want space from this kind of shit, and you are trying to get better and I understand that and-"

"Raven, where is this bar?"

"Hmm? Are you...Are you coming?"

"I am." I smirked.

"Oh, that's...surprising. Um, I'll text you the address right now."

I smiled. "Thank you, I'll see you soon."

"Kk. Bye. Love yo- JAXTON! DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE TOUCH MY DRINK!!" She yelled and hanged up, I chuckled softly.

I let out another sigh as I stared at myself in the mirror. "Let's go take care of that bitch now, shall we, Stormie?"

***

I walked into the bar and looked around for my friends, I was dressed in black pants and a black crop top because I knew Henry liked me wearing them just to have his hands around my skin.

I spotted them at the counter and with a smirk, I made my way towards them. Claudia was sitting next to Henry and talking to him about something, her hand on his thigh. Zach and Dominic were talking and laughing while Raven and Jaxton were gossiping and staring at Claudia.

"Dylan!" Jaxton was the first to spot me, they all turned my way and looked surprised.

"Hey!! You made it!!" Raven walked over to me and hugged me. "Oh my God, you look so hot."

"Thank you."

"Hi!! Where were you?! Are you okay?!!" Jaxton asked as he hugged me next.

"I'm fine." I chuckled. "I'm sorry but I had an important place to be at." I said as he pulled away.

"We were worried."

"I know." I said and looked at Henry who kept staring at me with so much sadness in his eyes that I broke.

I stared at Claudia who was also looking at me and God, I wanted to rip her to shreads. "Excuse me, guys." I said and made my way towards them, Henry's eyes lit when he saw me approaching him, he stood up and smiled sadly.

"Hey,"

I didn't respond, instead I moved closer to him and placed my lips against his softly and I hard Jax gasp loudly. I placed my hand at the back of his head and pulled him closer, kissing him deeply and he kissed me back, wrapping his arms around my waist. I looked at Claudia from the corner of my eyes and she was glaring daggers at me, fuming but I didn't care.

I pulled him closer to me and kissed him passionately, I bit his bottom lip softly and pulled away.

He chuckled. "Does that mean you forgive me?"

I stared at him for a couple seconds and then put on a smile on my face.

"Of course."

He nodded. "I promise. I swear I love you and you alone, you are everything I want and ever needed in a partner." He said and I saw Claudia gulp. "I swear I'm not gonna keep any secret from you, please don't be mad at me."

"As long as you do not, then we are good." I told him.

"Are you.... okay?" He asked, his brows knitted softly.

"Of course. Why?"

"There's just...never-mind." He smiled.

"Hmm," I pulled his face closer and kissed him, he kissed me back and his hands gripped my waist as my tongue went into his mouth.

"Damn, that was some hot make out section." Raven said and I smiled before turning to Claudia with that same smile and she smiled back.

"Finally, the boys are back!! Yes!!"

I chuckled and faced her. "I am so glad you are a friend of Henry's, you are amazing and I didn't see you as a threat either because I know Henry would never cheat on me or disrespect me, and I know now that all he did was try to protect me from being hurt and I also know you didn't mean to tell me out of the blue. You wouldn't. You just thought I knew about it and that's why you told me upstairs."

She nodded and stood up. "Exactly what I told Henry, I thought you knew and I am so sorry for causing trouble." She said, sounding so sincere.

"I know. But now you are more like a sister," I smiled. "And I am happy to have you as a friend, Claudia because you are so amazing," I said and placed my hand on her shoulder. "And so am I." I said and pulled her into a hug.

"Aw, if this isn't cute." Zach said. "Okay, let's cheers to new friendship." Zach said and I pulled away with a smile.

Zach ordered new drinks while I wrapped my arms around Henry and kissed him again.

"You look so amazing."

"You are such a sucker for crop tops."

"It makes you look hotter than you already are." He said and I laughed.

"Oh really?"

"Yes, really." He said with a grin and kissed me. "I love you, Marshmallow."

I smirked at him as he spoke. "And I love you too." I said with a giggle. "I should start calling you hot stuff ."

"You are such a dork, I like it."

"Of course you do."

"Okay, selfie!" Raven said and took out her iPhone. "I want everybody's face in this," Raven said as she rose her phone up. "uh, Claudia, you should move further to the left."

"Then she wouldn't even be in the photo." Zach said and Raven turned to him with a fake shocked expression.

"I didn't know that!" Raven gasped.

Jax and I held back a laugh.

Zach rolled his eyes at her and Raven began to take so many selfies.

"What is this about?" Jax asked about an hour later. "You have been acting all nice to Claudia and we wanted to ask but Henry's had you all the time and we've been doing group drinking and stuff."

"Yeah, spill. What's up? You look—different." Raven said, folding her arms. "And dont tell me you have forgiven her cause i will slap you right here."

I cocked my brows. "Claudia's not the only one with a Grammy winning performance," I said with a smirk.

"What are you planning?" Jaxton asked, arching a brow at me.

"To make her pay." I replied as I ordered a drink.

Raven and Jaxton exchanged looks. "You are gonna fight her?" Raven asked with a frown.

"What do you mean?" Jaxton questioned.

"She brought a sword to a gun fight, how long do you think she'll last?" I asked, cocking my head to the side.

Raven smirked evilly. "Finally. We are dealing with the bitch."

"She has no idea what is coming."

"I am not evil like the both of you but when someone like Chlamydia tries to mess up my ship! A ship that I spent sleepless nights thinking of a better name for, a couple I had shipped since the Genesis! I have to cut that bitch and make her pay so yeah, I'm so in." He nodded.

I grinned. "Amazing." I said and turned to look at her. "She doesn't even have an idea of who I am." I said and sipped my drink.

"I hate the fact that she's sexy, like why would God make such a person this beautiful? Her creator did waste such a pretty asshole by adding teeth." Jax said and it took me a second to understand and Raven and i slowly turned to him.

"Wow, jaxton, did that just come from you?" Raven asked, blinking severally. "I am a proud mother." She said and hugged him.

"Shut up." Jaxton chuckled.

I laughed.

"Ugh! I love this song." Jaxton groaned once the song in the bar changed to sandcastles by Beyoncé, Jaxton hugged his bottle close as he let the song start to sink in. .

I laughed. "This one?"

He nodded. "Dominic and I danced this on our first date." He grinned. "And I fell in love with it Immediately, I swear Beyoncé is such a blessing to this world."

"Amen to that." I said and sipped my drink.

"Oh, I guess that explains why Dom's coming here." Raven said and I turned to see Dominic walking our way with a smile.

"Ten bucks says he paid them to play this song." I whispered.

"Jaxton," Dominic called once he was standing right in front of us.

"Yeah,"

"You wanna dance with me?" He asked and stretched his hand out to Jax.

"Wait, here? T-This is a bar a-and not a club an-"

"Jaxton." He called again, arching his brows with a knowing smile.

"Just fucking say yes." Raven said with a sigh, I took the bottle from Jaxton's hand and he gave me a confused look.

"Go dance cause I know you want to, you are blushing like and look like a virgin vagaina."

He was.

Jaxton's eyes widen and he grimaced right before he touched his cheeks. "You need clensing." He said and looked at Dominic, smiling afterwards. He gave Dominic his hand and Dominic pulled him closer making him laugh.

Dominic placed his hands around Jaxton's waist while Jaxton placed his hands on Dominic's shoulder and they began to move their body to the song.

"They are so fucking cute." Raven said and I nodded in agreement.

"Extremely." I said as I watched them. People in the bar began to stare at them and they didn't care that they were dancing in a bar, they looked so in love.

I looked at Henry and he was smiling at them, he looked away from them and at me. I looked at Daxton again and turned to Raven. "Hold them." I said and handed her Jaxton and my drinks.

"Bitch! I have two hands. I can't carry three drinks." She complained but I ignored her and walked over to Henry.

"Henry," I called in a singing tone as I put my hand in his hair.

"Yes, babe." He smiled.

"I know you might hate this and all but to avoid everyone thinking Daxton has a problem, I just wanted to ask," I paused and his brows rose. "Mr. Arrogant, perverted, kissing addicted, most hottest guy with the perfect cheekbones, Ashcroft, will you dance with me?" I asked and grinned widely.

Henry laughed. "Oh, so we are doing the homecoming thing, huh?"

"Yes, we are." I couldn't hold back my laughter.

Henry nodded, smiling like crazy and stood up. "Yes, Mr. Sassy, crazy, no filter, most beautiful boy, Dexwell. I will dance with you."

"Oh, you remember your lines, huh?"

"How could I forget?" He asked with a smile and put out his hand. I took it with a big smile and he took me to where Daxton were, his hand around my waist and mine on his shoulder, his left hand and my right hand were half way up and intertwined and we slowly moved along to the song as well.

"This brings back memories."

"Yeah, homecoming." I beamed. "Our first dance. It was so beautiful."

"You are so beautiful."

"I know. You wouldn't stop telling me that I was beautiful."

"I remember it like it was yesterday," he said and twirled me.

I laughed and came back to him. "Me too. It's almost the same atmosphere, the stares and the gossip."

"Yeah." He smiled. "But who cares, right?"

I nodded, smiling widely. "Right."

"What?" I heard Raven ask and we turned our gazes to them.

"One night." Zach said and Raven just stared at him.

She sighed and went to the counter, she dropped the drinks on it and walked over to Zach.

"Only because I don't wanna be left out." She said and we all knew she was lying because it wasn't long before she started laughing at Zach's boring jokes.

We were having the time of our lives and six teenagers suddenly weren't the only ones dancing, other teenagers who wanted attention did and some older people of course.

We were what you'd call inspirational.

We had danced for a while and ended up talking and making out and arguing about silly stuffs because we were teenagers and we always argued.

"I'll be right back, I need to pee." I said to Henry, he gave me a nod and I walked away and to the men's bathroom. I did my business and while washing my hands, the door opened and I looked at the mirror to see Claudia and I smirked.

"I'm pretty sure it says men outside, except you were lying about school because that would explain why you couldn't read or wait," I paused. "Do you have a penis?"

"Cut the crap, Dylan." She said as she walked over to me. I laughed and dried my hands. "I told you to stay away, didn't i?"

"You did? Shit, I never paid attention." I said and turned to her. "Wait, if you are here then who's scaring the crows in Eastwood?" I asked with a frown.

"You are testing me, Dylan. You were all over him and I do not appreciate that!" She said angrily and I placed a hand on my hip with a smile. "You are trying to test my patience, aren't you? To see what I would do, huh? To think I made myself clear."

"Claudia, dear." I smiled. "What do you want from me?"

"Keep away. I thought you understood that and then you go ahead to kiss him in front of me!" She sneered.

I blinked, pretending to be confused and then I gasped. "Oh! You mean Henry? My boyfriend? Oh yeah, I kissed him. Do you have a problem with that?"

Claudia stared at me and laughed. "You are trying to play dumb huh?"

"Me? But, I don't even know what you are talking about, Claudia. Aren't we friends?" I pouted.

She took a step towards me, her eyes filled with anger. "I told you not to let me repeat myself."

"And I'm wondering why you think I care, Claudia." I said, looking bored. "You should really get a hobby, you know? I know what you can do," I grinned. "Have you tried not breathing? I think you would so like that hobby and you can also try drinking fuel, you would love it and when you turn on a lighter, there's gonna be a real Christmas tree with so much light inside of you, isn't that amazing?" I asked, grinning from ear to ear.

"I warned you. You wouldn't like what is to come. I made myself clear and you thought I was bluffing? Henry is mine! He is mine and I told you, we have been destined to-"

"I'm gonna stop you right there, Chlamydia." I smiled, raising my hand to her face to shut her up. "That destiny thing? Yeah, cut that out, this isn't Mara and Clara or The Legal Wife! It's real life and in real life, Henry.... isn't yours. He's mine. I'm the one he loves and I'm the one he's gonna be with for a very long time," I said as if talking to a four year old.

"And you are nothing but his past and that is all you are gonna be. You are gonna be described with the words was, wasn't, had, has, went, stayed, cared, loved. " I smiled. "Do you understand what that means? Past tense, sweetie. I don't have the time or crayon to explain it to you, Claudia." I sighed.

"He loves me now and he's mine and your destiny is sleeping in a coffin, six feet under because you are a miserable, cheap slut who can't keep her hands off my man cause she can't find love and she's a two cents whore and that is all you are ever gonna be." I smiled. "Miserable. The background character."

She looked like she was about to burst with anger. "I-"

"Oh darling, I'm not done." I cut her off, laughing. "You will remain the character everyone hates because you are an obstacle, a mistake and have you thought about suing your parents for bringing you into this world? You should." I said and smiled. "They are ashamed of the thing God gave them as a daughter, aren't they? They wished they used a condom everytime they look at you, don't they?"

Claudia rose her hand and slapped me across the face. "Shut your mouth, you do not know who I am, you will regret those words because you have crossed a line with me. You think you are all powerful? You are all talk and no action. Pathetic."

I laughed.

I laughed maniacally.

I looked at her and she frowned at me, looking dumbfounded. I smiled at her and in a flash she was pushed against the wall and my arm was placed at her throat.

"Now, I'm gonna tell you something and I need you to listen to me attentively."

"G-Get off!"

I put more pressure and she choked. "Do I have your attention?"

Claudia kept trying to push me off but I pushed her back against the wall. "You will stay away from my boyfriend. You have no idea who you are messing with, Claudia. If you think you really want to challenge me then fine, I do love a challenge. You are not the only one good at acting." I said while she tried to get my arm off her throat as she started getting red.

"I could kill your right now and no one would know but I am not that kind of person. When are you gonna understand that you are like Monday mornings, Claudia, nobody likes you." I stated. "I am warning you, Claudia. If you are coming for me you better be ready because I am not giving Henry up without a really good fight. And it's gonna be a world war again, covergirl. Because if you pull any stunts ever or threaten me or lie against my boyfriend like you did at the club because trust me, I could smell that cheap lie on you and if you ever try to do that shit again, I will kill you. I will rip out your eyes and feed them to you. I will cut you open and feed your organs to my neighbor's dog because I am kind." I smiled. Claudia tried to fight me off while glaring at me and then I pulled my arm away and she fell to the floor, coughing hard.

I smirked. "Don't think you are special, Claudia. Anyone willing to fuck you, is just too lazy to masturbate." I said as I looked down at her. "I'll see you outside." I said as I made my way out.

"Don't get molested, it happens in the bathroom a lot," I said as I got to the door, I turned to her and shrugged. "But then again that might be your only chance of getting touched." I gave her a small wave. "Thanks for the talk, STI, I needed that."

I couldn't contain the smile on my face as I walked back to the bar.

This felt different. A me I had tried to keep away

I was fucking back.

I was reborn.

Johnathan gave me Stormie.

And Boy was I glad.
