Chapter Thirty Three

Dylan's POV:

You know the saying 'looks are deceiving.' well damn that is right. Looks are deceiving I thought I could trust him but he is the guy behind all of this. I thought he was my friend, I guess I was wrong. Ash told me what happened in the hospital room, apparently it was him and Sara behind all this. I didn't think he was capable of this and he loves Emilia, that is beyond bizarre, like come off it he is being all stalkerish with those stupid notes and now I know it is both him and her there is no way I want to be in a five foot radius of them. Sara and me are never going to happen... ever. I love Emilia not her. Sara is a disgusting little bitch and I don't want to be near her, gross and now that I know she was behind all this it makes it ten times worse. I can't believe I ever did anything with her, that just disgusts me now.

I'm still shocked that Cory can be behind all of this and with Sara. We all knew he was a secretive person but falling that low and stalking my girlfriend, that's just fucked up. Ash and Parker already know and they already plan on killing him for that, same goes for me. Wait till I lay my fucking hands on him, he's dead.

Thank goodness my girl is going home today, I didn't like her staying in this hospital at all. Especially after that whole Cory sneaking in her room while I ducked out. He hasn't been in sight for a few days and I wonder why. Emilia doesn't know it's Cory that's behind it and I wasn't going to tell her till she gets out of this place, I refused to leave her side same with Ash.

So that's why Ash isn't with me and Parker right now. Ash is with Emilia at the hospital. I guess you could say I won't be coming out of here without a black eye. But I don't care and neither does Parker, Ash wanted to come but we told him he had to be with his sister.

I look to Parker and nod. Knocking loudly on the door of the old house. After five minutes of knocking no one answers so I decide to do what I do best and brake the window beside the door, successfully opening the door.

I nod to the stairs walking quietly not letting anyone know where here, although they probably already know where here. Going up the stairs and going to the room two doors to the left, where I always went I came over with the guys. I look to Parker and give him the look, that's when he kicks the door down, yep I that's what I said, kick the door down. We walk in on something disgusting and sickening making my breakfast want to come up but I held it down.

He said he loves her right? Well somewhere in his mind is fucked up cause love isn't something you just say to anyone. In fact if you say you love someone you don't go fucking the girl that helped cause this whole fiasco.

"OH MY GOD!!" Sara says gripping the sheet to her naked body, "D-Dylan it's n-not wh-at i-t l-looks like." she says and I laugh darkly,

Cory stares horridly at me, "What are you doing here?" he asks and then his eyes go to Parker, which I see Sara eyeing very carefully with a look of lust in her eyes.

"What am I doing here? Well isn't that a funny fucking question bro?" I say through gritted teeth and my hands are clenching by my side, he gets up not before putting his boxers on and looks at me confused, funny.

"What's he do-" he gets cut off by my fist reaching his face, successfully hearing a crack and a loud scream coming from Sara.

"Oh shut your fucking mouth, slut." Parker snaps at her, knowing exactly who she is, making her gasp,

"What the hell dude? Seriously I thought we were mates!" Cory yells and I grit my teeth, before I can land another punch Cory struck but luckily I duck just in time,

This time it was Parker that clenches his fist and threw a hard punch in Cory's face,

"That was before you started stalking my girlfriend." I yell, the same time Parker yells,

"That's for hurting my little sister, asshole."

This time I land a punch on his left eye, "That's for fucking stalking my girlfriend." I threw my hand aimlessly again which lands on his cheek, "That's for landing her in fucking hospital."

This time I kick him in his stomach making him land on his back, he tries getting back up but with Parker by my side he couldn't if he wanted to. Parker stomps his foot hard on Cory's stomach making him groan in pain.

"Your a fucking little pussy. Your not going to fight back, huh?" Parker says landing another punch in Cory's arm,

I kick his side hard, "That's for saying 'I love you' to my girlfriend." I yell. All I see right now is red, I want to hurt him as bad as he hurt Emilia even if she was only emotionally hurt. I kick him a few more times blocking out the screams of Sara yelling at me to stop.

"That's for harassing my girl." I say furiously gritting my teeth together.

"Don't you ever come near me, my girl or my friends ever again!" I yell at him and Sara, still glaring at him,

Soon enough we heard sirens, giving Parker a look we start running back downstairs and to the car, luckily we just made it out before the cops saw us.

"Emilia should be at home now, right?" I ask, Ash told us he was going to check her out since she's been cleared from the doctor, but she just needs alot of rest,

"Yea, totally." Parker says flatly and I look at him in confusion,

"Ok bro, what's that suppose to mean?"

"Well it's Emilia, do you really think she would go home?" he asks me and I raise a brow, "My point is... never mind."

"Parker spill it." I tell him annoyed now,

"Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut." he mumbles and I glare, "Ok, ok. I shouldn't be telling you this because she is your girlfriend and should have told you herself." he explains and I nod for him to go on, "Well Emilia kinda asked to be graduated early." he tells me, concentrating on the road in front of him,

"Ok that can't be so bad." I say out loud and Parker shakes his head,

"Maybe for her."

"Explain." I demand, what the hell is he going on about.

"She's leaving Dylan."

"Leaving where?" I ask confused,

"Leaving the state." He rushes out, and I had to repeat the words in my head.

Leaving the state. No she can't be.

"She got an internship in New York and after everything that's happened she wants to leave earlier than planned without saying goodbye." he continues,

I stare at him wide eyes.

Internship. New York. Leave. That's all I got out of that statement.

"Can I ask a question?"

"Shoot."

"When did she find out she was going to New York?" I ask scared of the answer,

Parker reaches a hand behind his head and scratches his neck, keeping one hand on the steering wheel.

"I don't know, a few months back. Before Ally died." He says lowly.

She knew for that long and didn't tell me.

"Ok. Never mind that, where is she right now?" I ask in a rush, stressing she left already. I mean she just got out of the hospital, they wouldn't let her on a flight, would they?

"Most probably the airport."

"Well hurry up, let's go then." I let out. With that Parker put his foot to the pedal making the car go faster than the legal limit.

I just hope we make it before she leaves, even if I'm pissed off that she didn't tell me about the internship. I need her and I'm not letting her go that easily.

Emilia's POV:

I'm stood just staring into space at the airport with Ash by my side. We got the ok's from the doctor so I can go to New York, honestly I can't wait. Ash packed my bags along with my camera and everything I needed for my new life, like I had always wanted. I wonder what Dylan thinks of me for not saying goodbye, it had to be done though. Am I doing the right thing by leaving? I always wanted to be a photographer so I guess, but the cons are leaving behind my boyfriend and friends. They probably hate me now, especially for not telling them about this internship, but I honestly didn't want to deal with goodbyes and the tears, I'd get to emotional and I don't want that.

"Flight 56906, to New York is now boarding." A lady on the speaker says getting my attention, I guess it's time,

I turn to Ash with a small smile giving him a tight hug, tighter than before. I know he's scared cause mom died in a plane crash but honestly I need to do this. For me. I force a smile pulling back, a few tears fall.

"So I guess I'll see you on the flip side." I say forcing a smile and giving him one last hug before I officially left the state,

"I'm going to miss you so so much! You better come back and visit me or at least Skype and call, ok?" he asks a tear slid down his cheek and I nod,

"I better go, before I miss the flight." I put my hand in my pocket reaching the two envelopes passing them to Ash, "Can you give this to Dylan and the group?" he nods and I smile sadly at him, and start heading off with my on board luggage, passport and ticket.

"Emilia. I love you, don't forget that ok." He calls out and I nod turning my head to see him,

"Love you too bro." I smile and this time I reach the boarding desk handing the lady my passport and ticket as she asks and prepare myself for my new life. This is what I always wanted and now I have it. Thank you mom for always being there for me and helping me figure out what I want cause without you I wouldn't be here.

"Here you go miss, enjoy your flight." the lady tells me and I smile at her,

"Thank you." And I walk on ahead through the hallway that is holding my future.

Goodbye Westside. Hello New York.

Dylan's POV:

"Dude stop the damn car!!" I yell at Parker, he comes to an abrupt stop, making my head slam against the headrest. I quickly unclasp my seat belt opening and slamming the door shut making a run for the airport entrance hoping I made it just in time. I run through the crowded room looking for the right terminal but I bump into someone but I don't look who it is and continue running,

"Dylan!!" I heard a voice call and I turn around to see it was Ash who was calling me and by the sad look on his face I knew what it mean't.

"So she really is gone." I didn't question the fact, he just nods sadly.

"Actually she just gave me this to hand to you." he says passing me an envelope, I take it showing no emotion, even though I am a mess right now.

Emilia is gone. She left without saying goodbye.

"All she wanted to tell you is in that letter Dylan. Don't blame her ok, she thought it was for the best." he tells me and I frown,

The best, no the best thing to do would be to tell me about it. I would have supported her on it, I would have willingly moved... with her.

That's it. I can go find her, I'm sure if I ask Ash for the details he would hand them over. Yes and that's exactly what I'm going to do.

"Ash? Where is Emilia staying exactly?" I question and he looks at me and a smirk slowly starts to show on his lips,

"I knew you would ask." he laughs lightly making me roll my eyes, "So I sorted this out for you." he tells me passing over an envelope. "Emilia doesn't know I did this and since I knew how much you love her, I thought I'd help my sister out by doing this for her." he smiles lightly, "and plus Emilia never knew this cause I never told her, mom called me a day before you guys left and told me that Em found 'the one'." he tells me air quoting the one. "So I knew she was talking about you, mom liked you for my sister and I think my mom was right. At first my first impression wasn't the greatest, cause you know. Anyways, you better get going bro. And you better take care of my sister otherwise you get to meet my fist." He says grinning and I take a step back,

"After I just bashed an asshole black and blue for stalking Em, who'd turned out to be my friend, I'd do anything for her." I tell him honestly,

"Good, now get your ass on that flight. It's one after Emilia's so in about thirty minutes it should arrive." he explains,

"Thanks bro, I really do owe you one." I tell him going to take off but he stops me by saying,

"You already are by taking care of my sister. That's more than I can ask for." he says and I nod, he pulls me in for a bro hug and a fist pump and then I take off for the check in desk.

Emilia is worth it cause I love her. The first girl I actually really love. And I thought a guy like me would never find the right one but I did and I'm just glad I broke her window that night otherwise I'd never had met an amazing girl like her.

Once I was sat in my seat on the plane, I pull out the letter from my pocket and open it. I start to tear up as I start to read it,

Dylan,

I know I should have at least said goodbye, but aren't goodbyes forever. This is just a... see you later, sort of letter. You know I never wanted to leave without seeing you but after everything that happened and hearing that guy tell me if 'he can't have me, no one can have me not even Dylan', I took that as a threat and I don't want you getting hurt.

I know that you most probably hate me now but I also left for another reason that reason being I got an internship, a well paid one. I didn't want to miss an opportunity so I accepted the offer right away, you know this is what I always wanted and it's in New York!! I really can't believe it. But the thing is right now I am crying and I never cry. I'm crying cause I don't want to lose you but I don't want you to get hurt either.

I really wish I could have stayed but I just couldn't and you want to know what the worse thing about leaving Westside is, it's you. I don't want to leave you behind, but like I said I have to for both yours and my safety, that stalker won't know I'm leaving... well I hope and Sara is apart of it.

Well if your reading this I just want to let you know that I love you and I will never forget you, ever. I want you to move on, really. I love you but I hate to tell you that... to move on, but it's for the best.

So I guess I'll see you later... in the future when I return to Westside, that is if you will still be willing to be friends.

I love you. Emilia. xox.

She really thinks I would move on. She's worried about me and I'm worried about her, doesn't that make more sense that we are mean't to be together. Don't worry sweet cheeks, it won't be long until I reach New York and you.

Emilia's POV:

Oh New York. What a sight to see. It's amazing I tell you that. As soon as I get out of the airport though, not so much. I have to hail a taxi and trust me it's not that easy, I nearly got ran over... twice. But once I finally manage to hail one down I put my luggage in the boot and hop inside the backseat,

"Where to miss?" the taxi driver asks,

I look down at the piece of paper in my hands,

"The Dakota, please." I tell him and he nods,

"New to the city life?" he asks and I smile,

"I guess so."

"Your going to love it." I nod, I hope so.

At least an hour later we arrive at the apartment building and grab my things from the boot of the car, paying the driver and walking to my new apartment.

Ok number four hundred and eighty two, is the number I've was looking for. Reading the instructions on the piece of paper in my hands it reads I'm on the top floor. Wow Ana's boss must be rich. Huffing and puffing I reach the top floor and instantly find the room but what I also find is a really hot guy standing in front of the room next door. But I shake my head, I love Dylan and I'd never betray him even if I told him to move on.

I grab the key out of the envelope and go to open the door but being the clumsy person I am I drop the key.

The guy next door turns around like he just noticed I was there and smiles.

"So you must be our new neighbour." he tells me and now I actually pay attention to his features. He was young, at least in his late twenties, had dark hair with grass green eyes an amazing colour at that.

"Hey, yea I guess I am." I tell him and he puts out his hand,

"I'm Joseph but please call me Joey or Jo." he smiles and I put my hand in his,

"Emilia, call me Em. Everyone back home did." I smile and he nods,

"Nice, well I'm sure you and my wife Amber will get along quite nicely. You will meet her soon enough, she was planning on coming over and greeting you later anyways. She just ducked out to get some things to finish up the sweets she cooked up for you," he says and I blush at that,

"Oh, no. You guys didn't have to." I say waving my hands about and he shakes his head amused,

"Warning for you, never say no to my wife. She won't ever take no for an answer and trust me on that one."

I laugh lightly, "Well, it was nice meeting you and everything, but I should really get back to unpacking." I tell him successfully unlocking the door,

Yes!! I cheer in my head.

"No worries. It was nice meeting you too, so I'll see you around." he tells me and I nod,

"Guess so, see you later." With a small wave I drag my things into the apartment and lock the door.

My eyes widen at the room I'm standing in and this is just the living room. It was huge, the size of my old kitchen and living room put together. I put the luggage down by the front door and walk around the apartment, getting to know the place and just as I thought, the bedroom is as large as the dinning room. This whole apartment is huge, enough room for a whole family.

After a few hours of settling in I finally met Amber, she is really enthusiastic and Joey was right, you couldn't say no to her. She reminded me very much of Ava back home. I wonder if Ash gave them the letter yet. They probably hate me.

I need some sleep, especially cause I'm jet lagged. I lay back on the bed and what I didn't expect was the bed to wobble. A water bed. I smile to myself, I guess I will be loving this room the most. Only thing is it was lonely being along in a king size bed. That thought brings me back to Dylan, he hates me, I guarantee that. I love him soo much I chose to leave so he doesn't get hurt. I curl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep, this feeling is the worse.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

The hell. I turn to my side and close my eyes again falling back to sleep only to hear the loud banging on the door again.

I look to the side to see it's four- thirty five in the morning. Who would be up at this early hour? I just want to go back to sleep, hoping they will just go away but they didn't cause I heard the banging again. I groan swinging my legs on the floor and sleepily drag myself to the front door, I open it and I am suddenly embraced in a tight hug, and a very familiar one at that.

I look up and confirm my theory. Tears came to my eyes, and a wide smile reaches my lips,

"You weren't suppose to follow me here." I tell him but before I could say anything else I was feeling Dylan's warm lips on mine, making me wide awake and responding straight away. His arms wrap around my waist, as mine snake around his neck, I quickly walk backwards making him come with me and close the door behind us with my foot. I pull back giving him an amused smile,

"Who told you I would be here in this exact room?" I ask a small smile playing at my lips only one other person than Ana knew I was staying here and that was my brother.

"Ash." he smiles, "You know, I would never let you go that easily. And to save you worrying about your stalker he won't bother you anymore, I dealt with him and made sure of it." I widen my eyes,

"Who was it?" I ask and a frown reaches his lips,

"Cory." he spits out in disgust and I gasp,

"What? Cory? I would ne-"

I can't believe it was Cory who was my stalker, who would have thought a sweet innocent boy was my stalker, guess he wasn't so innocent after all. But then again it's the quiet ones you have to keep an eye on.

"I know. I never thought he would be capable either." he tells me and I can tell by the scowl on his lips that he hates him,

"Ok enough of that. You don't hate me do you? For you know... leaving." I ask and he shakes his head in amusement,

"As much as I would like to hate you, I could never sweet cheeks. You are my one and only." he tells me and I'm guessing he's referring to the part where I told him to move on, "You are mine and don't forget that, ever." he says swooping me off my feet bridal style in his arms and his lips reach mine once more in a passionate kiss.

Once he found the bedroom with my directions, he laid me on the bed gently then starts unbuttoning my top. I wanted this as much as he did, so I remove his top as soon as mine is discarded. I smile up at him as he straddles me, only in his boxes and kisses down my neck, "Your... mine. And... I'm... going... to... prove... it." he says between kisses,

A moan escapes my lips as he reached my soft spot, "Yours and only yours Dylan Collins." I let out.

"I love you sweet cheeks." he huskily says in my ears, making me want him more. That voice of his is sexy as hell,

"I love you too Dylan."

I had the most amazing night of my life. Dylan actually followed me to New York and I'm actually relieved he did. I'm soo happy that I met Dylan cause I don't know if I could love anyone else the way I love Dylan. And what proved he really loves me is the fact that he actually came after me.
