Chapter Two
Emilia's POV:
Monday morning, when I arrive at school I knew my life now depends on this day. I walk through the corridors looking for one person, Dylan. I walk past an empty classroom, only to be pulled in. The hell! I look at the culprit, Dylan Collins.
"You, you broke my window and kissed me, and you have the guts to leave without saying why..." I start my rant, I don't know where I got this confidence from, I’m normally the shy girl and mind my own business around people like him. He pulls me into his chest and put his hand over my mouth, again.
"Do you always talk this much?" He chuckles, "Now keep the noise down, we don't want anyone knowing we have spoken." Cocky and arrogant, great. He removes his hand,
"Look Dylan, is that your name. Well your going to tell me why you broke into my house Saturday night, kissed me and left without an explanation." I’m pissed off right now, he brakes into my house (my room actually), pulls me in this abandoned empty classroom and thinks he has the right to say he doesn't want anyone to know we've talked.
Dylan raises a brow, "Ok first off, I had to get away and second, I didn't have time to explain."
"So, now you do. Explain." I tell him irritated, my eyes wide.
"Look Emilia," He knows my name? Right of course he does, he's popular, "I only broke into your room because I needed to hide, I was running from someone, that you don't need to know."
Now I’m confused.
"Couldn't you have hidden someplace else. You broke my window to get in and hide." I was pissed off, I had to put tape on my window to stop the cold breeze from coming in.
"If you want I will pay for the damage. And I couldn't explain cause I couldn't waste time in case they came back that way." He pauses and then looks me straight in the eyes, "And I kissed you cause I felt like it." He tells me quietly, with a smirk playing on his lips.
"Dylan, I need a new window, and they aren't cheap." I state clearly annoyed,
"Fine I’ll replace it then. What do you want me to say.” He snaps,
"Six hundred, put it in my mailbox seeming you know where I live now. By this afternoon." I tell him and turn to walk out, but he stops me by grabbing my wrist in a tight grasp,
"And where do you think I’m going to get that kind of money by this afternoon." He asks angrily as he glares daggers at me,
"I don't know, should of thought of that one before you broke it. So it better be there or I’m telling the police." I tell him before ripping my hand out of his grip and storm off. As I walk down the hallway, I hear a bang, oh well not my problem. I have a feeling this won't be the last time I see him either. I storm off to class I’m already late.
As usual I go get my lunch and walk to my car, and I see Dylan leaning against it. Shit. I turn the other direction, I really want to avoid him as much as I can. I hear footsteps walking or running towards my direction and suddenly Dylan is in front of me.
"What do you want?" He asks, now I’m officially confused.
"What?" I ask, confusion clearly in my voice.
"What do you want?" He repeats angrily,
"I told you six hundred." I say and storm off, again. He was the one that said 'we don't want anyone knowing we have spoken'. In other words, it will ruin his reputation.
"Not again" I heard him mumble, he caught up to me fast. "You’re not going anywhere Emilia." After he says that I was lifted up in the air,
"Let me down, NOW!!" I demand, freaking hell. Can today get any worse? Also I dropped my lunch in the process. Argh. "DYLAN, LET ME DOWN. RIGHT NOW!!" I scream hitting his back. A few students that were in the car park stare at us or should I say me. Some of the girls gave me death stares, while others stare at me in awe. And trust me, this is nothing to awe about.
I hear a car door open and he throws me in. Throws. I'm not a football you know, I’m a person.
He closes the door and locks the car. Does he really think that I would run?... actually I would. He walks over to the driver’s side, unlocks the door and slides in the drivers seat, locking the car once again.
"This is classified as kidnapping." I state, he clearly didn't get the message since he just starts the car and drives off.
"You won't listen to me, so you will now and I’m taking you somewhere.” He says looking at the road,
"I'm hungry." I whine, I haven't eaten all day, I left in a rush this morning. And because he kidnapped me, my lunch was dropped.
"Well I know the perfect place." He smirks, gosh kill me now.
We end up at this diner in the middle of nowhere. I look around and all there were was trees surrounding this place. Why on earth would he bring me here? We enter the diner and a bell above the door rings, notifying the employees that we are here.
"Ah, Dylan." A girl with blonde hair and looks around our age says in a cheery tone, she has a light blush growing on her cheeks. Probably one of his one night stands, but she looks way too innocent. "Take a seat in one of the booths and I’ll bring you a menu." She smiles.
Once this is over I really, really hope he stays the hell away from me.
We walk over to the booth and take our seats. "You said you would tell the cops, sweetie we both know you wouldn't."
Oh he wants to play this game.
"Oh, but I will Dylan." I say my voice full of confidence,
"Here you are." The girl came back with our menus,
"Thank you..." I smile and look down and see her name tag, "Clara" She smiles back,
I take a quick look at the menu and see they have a choc-banana thick shake. My favourite.
"So have you decided," She asks both of us and when I see her look at Dylan from the corner of my eye, I look at Dylan to catch him sending her a wink, and she blushes, right whatever player.
"Yea, I’ll have a large choc-banana thick shake, and a slice of chocolate mud cake." I tell her, giving back the menu. I soon look at Dylan and his eyes are wide. I smirk.
"I'll have the usual.” He tells Clara, giving back his menu still looking at me.
She writes down our orders, "Ok, won't be too long." She tells us and walks away.
I am just staring out the window trying to ignore the stare Dylan is giving me. "What?" I finally snap,
"Chocolate. Really? You know..." He didn't get to finish since Clara came back with our food and drinks.
I look back out the window and suddenly see a bus stop. Yes. Now a plan in mind, Clara left our table and since my drink was in a take away cup, I grab it and bolt out the door and straight to the bus stop. Dylan hot on my heels calling out my name repetitively but I ignore him and keep running as fast as I can, but luckily the bus arrives when I reach the stop and since I had my money in my back pocket I tell the guy to close the door quickly and once he does that I pay him. I look out the window and see Dylan standing there dumbfounded. Didn't think I was smart, did you. I smirk at him.
"Where to miss?" The driver asks, he looks like he's in his late thirty's with dark features.
"Westside, please!!" I tell him and we were off.
"So I’m guessing that's your ex." The driver assumes, and I laugh,
"Haha, that's really funny. Nah, actually he broke my window and I would never go out with that guy especially since he's a player." He chuckles, "So what's your name?" I ask him,
"Nate. Yours?"
"Emilia."
On the way home, I made friends with Nate, the driver. He is really funny. And finally I’m back in Westside, honestly I’d prefer to stay on this bus then go back to reality.
"Thanks for the ride Nate." I smile,
"Anytime, Catch ya later." I let out a light laugh,
"Bye." I wave, to Nate and I was on my way home.
Nate drops me off near the school's local shops, I skip happily to school to collect my baby. Once I get there I wasn't surprised the car park was empty because it was seventh period and we have eight periods, seniors get to go home on seventh period or earlier even. I decide on going home early only to stop in my tracks when I see that Dylan is there in the car park also. So I run to hide behind a tree, making sure not to be seen. I'll just walk home instead, and ring Ash.
Ring
Ring
Ri
"Hello?" I hear Ash's voice, deep and hoarse, he probably just woke up,
"Ash!!" I whisper, "I need you to come pick my car up from the school."
"What? Why are you whispering? Is everything ok?" He asks panicky, you see Ash is always... sensitive, towards me.
"One question at a time and I’ll explain when you get here. Just hurry up." I tell him annoyed,
"Where are you? I’ll come now!"
"I’m outside the school, hiding behind a tree." I mumble the last part.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
He hangs up on me, probably speeding over here right now. I tell you that boy is over protective of me and doesn't think I’m capable, I’m just going to make sure I don't tell Ash that Dylan broke into my room, that's when he will start fussing and would want to move back home.
No less then twenty minutes later he arrives in his mustang, with his best friend, Parker in the passenger seat. I'm going to admit Parker is sexy. I've known him since Ashton started college, so four years, and he's always rude to me. Boys. Annoying frustrating boys.
"Sis, what the hell are you doing behind a tree?" Ash asks me, confused.
"Shh." I hiss, "Here are my keys, give me yours and I’ll meet you back at the house." I whisper.
His eyes widen, "I'm not letting you drive my girl." he says straight out, this task is harder than I thought,
"Why don't you let Parker drive it then?" I ask him, and he thinks about it and nods at Parker,
"Sure" He smirks.
"Fine, here are my keys to my baby,” I pass him the keys and head to his girl.
"Let's go Parker. Hurry!" I say jumping into the passengers side and Parker jumps in the driver's side.
"So why is Little Miss Photographer, hiding huh?" Parker asks me, great stuck with the enemy. He starts the car and we were off.
"Don't start on me Hastings."
"Just asking, geez someone’s grumpy." He snaps putting his hands in the air to prove his point,
"HANDS ON THE WHEEL!!" I scream and nearly had a heart attach, I don't want to get killed in a car accident cause Hastings decides to take his hands off the wheel.
"Calm down, Em." He says calm and clear. Wait he said Em. He always calls me different names but stuck with Little Miss Photographer. Never has he called me Em.
I soon realised we were sitting in the driveway, I look over to Parker. "How long have we been sitting here for?" I ask snapping back into reality,
"We just got here like five seconds ago.” He tells me, right.
I went to get out of the car but as I reach out for the handle, he grabs my wrist and pulls me into him, clashing our lips together. I sat there frozen. What the hell is he doing?
You know you love it. My conscience says.
I decided to give in, my eyes fluttered shut, and our lips in sync, Parker deepened the kiss, hungrier. He licks my bottom lip asking for entry but I deny and pull back, to see him smirking and a small glint of lust in his eyes. Ok, I’m seeing things now.
"Thanks for the ride." I mumble, not looking at him knowing my face looks like a tomato before he could stop me, I open the door and bolt to the front door and open it, using the spare key above the door frame since mine are on my car keys, which I gave to Ash. Once I get in, I shut the door and slide down it. What the hell just happened? My stomach had this weird feeling to it.
This is crazy, today was crazy. I pinch my arm trying to wake up, but I’m still here feeling like this. This crazy ass weird feeling. I finally hear a car pull up in the drive and know it's mine.
"Emilia!" I hear my brother call,
"Bout time!!" I yell and open the door to see both Parker and Ash.
Shit. I close the door in there face. Why did I do that for? I open the door again with sheepish smile on my face,
"Sorry, thanks for picking up my car. You can go back to what you were doing before you came now." I put my hand out for Ash to pass me the keys,
"Not so fast." He says impatiently "You have some explaining to do." He tells with a raised brow.
I open the door wider, and tilt my head towards the door indicating him to enter. Ash takes a seat and just stares at me, saying nothing. His brow still raised and his arms are crossed over each other on his chest.
"Fine, some guy wanted to talk to me and I didn't want to talk to him. Ok."
"Why did you ditch school?" He asks me,
Shit, how do I explain that Dylan kidnapped me to some diner and I ran?
"Um, I was feeling sick and wanted to come home. That's when I saw the guy there and quickly walked out the school. I was avoiding him." I lie and he nods satisfied.
Yes. I did a little cheer in my head.
"Ok, now that you've cleared that up we can go." He tells me, he nudges Parker, "Dude come on lets get out of her hair." Parker gets up but not before messing my hair,
"DON'T TOUCH MY HAIR!!" I yell at him and he just smirks and adds a wink.
What have I gotten myself into?
