Love Is Deadly

Chapter Nineteen

"Dylan"?

"Hey Ava". he smiles, walking over to me.

"What are you doing here"?

"I just dropped by to visit". He shrugs.

"I can't believe you". I mutter angrily, putting my backpack on the floor.

"You're not happy to see me"? He asks, starting to chuckle a little.

"Of course I'm not happy to see you! Why would I?! You left me Dylan. You cheated and then ran away like some sick puppy"! I yell.

"I love you. It wasn't my fault that I had to move, you know my dad got that huge promotion". Dylan says calmly and I roll my eyes.

"Who even let you in the house"?

"Your brother".

"Josh"! I yell and he comes running downstairs with a smile on his face.

"Why would you do this"?

"I did this for your own good Ava. Noah is-". Josh starts to say but I cut him off.

"Would you just stop it about Noah! I get it you don't like him Josh but you really need to let it go. I don't know what exactly happened between you too but it's annoying". I huff angrily, and Josh looks at me with a blank expression on his face.

"Ava. You can forget about Noah. You love me remember"? Dylan smiles and I slap him.

"Dylan do you not get it? You cheated on me. You hurt me, how can I love someone that hurts me"?

"I'm sorry. I told you that". He sighs.

"Well sorry isn't going to take back the fact that you cheated and lied". I spit out and he looks away.

"I'll see you later". Dylan mumbles.

He walks out and Josh looks at me, and I ignore him, walking to my room.

I shower and change into something comfy. I get into my bed and turn on Netflix and start to scroll through movies trying to see what I want to watch.

When I finally find a movie I curl up in my blanket and sit my phone next to me.

Halfway through the movie my phone lights up and I smile once I see that the incoming text message is from Noah.

I opened my phone and clicked on my text messages and the message he sent me made me smile even more.

'Hey cutie, Devin and I went shopping for tuxedos, which do you like better?'

After that message I get 3 attachments so I click on them.

One of the Tuxedos is a nice burgundy color, the next is of course black and the last one is a teal blue.

'I like the first one :)' I reply and he says okay with a heart.

I set my phone down and my phone lights up again.

'When are you going dress shopping, you should take Cassidy'.

I smile and text him back.

'My mother and I are going this weekend for shopping so I'll do it then'

Not even 5 minutes later my phone lights up again.

'You told your mom that you're going through formal with me?'

I respond to Noah by saying:

'no I don't when I'm gonna tell her and I wouldn't know how sorry'

He doesn't respond so I figure he's throwing a temper tantrum.

I ignore it and continue to watch my movie. 10 minutes later my phone lights up and I check the message to see it's not Noah but it's Sam.

'You busy?'

I reply by telling Sam no and my phone then starts ringing.

"Hello".

"I need to tell you something".

"Yeah of course Sam what's up".

"Well you know how Jaden wasn't in school today". Sam says.

"Yeah I figured he was sick why what's up".

"He's in the hospital".

"Wait why what happened". I ask frantically now sitting up in my bed.

"He just got in a car accident but he'll be ok just a broken leg and that's it".

"Wow I hope he gets better. Do you know if he's still going to Formal"? I ask

"Yeah he says he'll just have crutches".

"oh okay, thanks for telling me I'll see you soon".

"Ok Chicca see you later".

We both hang up and I sit back and watch my movies when someone knocks on my door.

"Come in". I say and the door opens and it's Josh.

"Have you heard from Dylan"?

"No, why would I"? I ask and he looks worried.

Just as I'm about to say something Cassidy calls me.

"Hello".

"Do you know where Dylan went after he left your place"?

'No why"?

"Check the news".

I look at Josh frantically and turn on the tv.

"A body was found by the alley way of the mall this afternoon".

I pick up the phone and it's quiet on the other line.

"Cassidy, you don't think-"?

"No, it couldn't be Dylan". She says, finishing my sentence.

"We'll just check in the morning and see if we hear anything from him". Cassidy says calmly and I agree. Hopefully it's not Dylan because even though I don't have feelings for him anymore doesn't mean I want him dead.

Josh walks out the room and I don't bother talking to him.

I look at the time and decide that it's time to get sleep because I have a long week ahead of me.
