Stay

Aprils pov

I wake up and instantly regret it.

I have a pounding headache and it feels as though my skull will crack any minute now. A pair of hands are wrapped around my waist and a small smile makes its way across my face.

He didn't leave.

" Dylan? We have to talk!" I whisper.

" That we do!" He replies instantly.

Really? He was awake this entire time?

"What happened last night?" He continues.

" I felt guilty and sad at what happened! " I reply. I don't have the energy in me to lie.

" why?" He asks worriedly.

" IT'S MY FAULT THAT THOSE PEOPLE DIED! IF I HADN'T GOTTEN REJECTED, MY PARENTS WOULD STILL BE ALIVE. IF ONLY I HAD BEEN GOOD ENOUGH, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN REJECTED! IF IT WASN'T FOR ME YOUR FRIENDS WOULDN'T BE DEAD AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT THE ONLY HOME YOU KNEW. ALSO, I KILLED A PERSON! I MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD AND I ACTUALLY LIKED IT! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE PEOPLE YOU THOUGHT WERE YOUR PARENTS, WEREN'T! AND ONLY DECIDE TO TELL YOU WHEN THEY WERE ABOUT TO DIE! MY PARENTS, REAL PARENTS ABANDONED ME AT THE PACK BORDER AND NOW I HAVE TO LOOK FOR THEM AND FIND OUT THE TRUTH! DID THEY LOVE ME? OR DID THEY ABANDON ME BECAUSE THEY NEVER CARED? LASTLY, I HAVE TO FIND MY PARENTS ALONE! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT PAINS ME THAT I HAVE TO LEAVE YOU?... THAT IS WHY I'M SAD AND FEEL GUILTY... NOW, DO YOU UNDERSTAND? " I scream.

I feel as though a huge weight has been lifted off my chest and before he can say anything I run to the bathroom and try to lock myself in there.

Before I can turn the lock, he kicks the door open and I fall due to the impact of the force.

He pulls me up and into his arms and he doesn't say anything. He doesn't need to, him being here is enough. It's silent except for my sobs which are the only thing that can be heard.

He holds me and doesn't let go.

I fall asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.

When I wake up sometime later I'm still in his arms but only I'm sleeping on a bed.

He must have carried me to bed.

The only thing that runs through my head is he stayed.

He actually stayed with me through the breakdown and I couldn't help but feel grateful.

He is the only one who has stayed.....
