There he was he turned around when he heard the door open, he was stunning. Soft blue eyes, short dark brown hair, he was taller then me he had some muscles on him not to much but just perfect to feel protected by him.
He had on a grey shirt with dark blue jeans, he got up and looked at us, surprised we were here.
“Hey Dylan.” I said, smiling.
“Oh hey…Alice.” Dylan said, smiling come over to us.
He hugged me in his warm loving arms. Oh how much I felt alive in his hugs.
He looked at me and had a slight laugh, “Someone doesn’t want to go.”
I snapped out of my thoughts and looked back into reality and released him from my hug.
“Hey Rose.” Dylan said, looking over at Rose.
She smiled, “Hey Dylan, Alice was worried about you.”
He looked at me I sighed as he smiled sweetly, “Thank you Alice.”
Rose ruined the moment, “Well how about we all go see that new movie, what is it called I forgot the name. Want to come Dylan?”
“Sure.” Dylan said, smiling at us.
We all went downstairs and got into Rose’s car.
“Umm should I drive?” Dylan asked, afraid to be in the car with Rose driving.
“I can drive.” Rose said, defending herself.
“Yes but not legally.” Dylan said, grinning at Rose.
Dylan was only one year older then me so he was old enough to drive.
Rose let out a heavy exhale and got out and got in the back I was in the passenger seat Dylan came around to the driver’s seat.
He looked at her waiting until she put her seatbelt on.
Once we were ready we drove off, Dylan was someone who seemed like a dream he was perfect.
Although he was so far out reach it was like chasing your shadow no matter how much you desired to touch it. You could never touch it.
We arrived at the movies we looked at what was showing not many good movies were playing but we picked to see Fright Night.
Rose was afraid of the idea of vampires running around, but me and Dylan we didn’t mind how I remember me and Dylan playing video games together when we were kids.
We got some nice seats I sat by Dylan and Rose sat by me.
Dylan looked wrapped an arm around me, how this felt right but I knew he wouldn’t see how I saw him. A sweet dream which I was going to wake up from. It was only a matter of time.
After the movies Rose was freaking out I had to hold my smirking back. Dylan looked at the time on his Iphone4 and said, “It’s about four. I should get home. So I will see you guys at school tomorrow right?”
“Yeah see you.” Rose said, smiling.
I smiled at Dylan softly, “Do you need a ride home. It’s not safe really.”
“I will be fine, I will take the trolly.” Dylan said, looking over to the nearest trolly station.
“But Dyl—.” I started.
“Alice…I will be fine.” Dylan said, in a strong voice. I sighed and nodded.
He smiled and gave me a hug his hand gently ran through my hair.
“I will be fine.” Dylan whispered into my ear.
I nodded as I didn’t want to let him go but I had to.
Dylan walked off I didn’t want to stare after him I looked at Rose then said, “Let’s go home.”
We drove to her house I didn’t mind walking home if I walked fast enough no one would bother me and this was a safe neighborhood. I got out of the car and waved to Rose as I stated walking fast to get home.
It didn’t take long for me to get home I went inside the house.
It wasn’t as fancy as Dylan’s but it was a simple town house a welcoming hallway I took the modern looking stairs up to the second floor and went to my room which had white walls a few posters the carpet was soft and an eggshell. A full size bed with soft blue cover and white sheets the head broad looked like someone weaved it from dark straw there was no foot broad.
A dresser with a mirror and a closet and a window looking out to the street. I laid down on the bed and looked at the ceiling. High school was something no one could escape, you could drop out but you would be trapped in a new hell.
There was no heaven in hell.
