Dillon POV
Cait pulled away.
"I- Oh my- I'm- I shouldn't have done that. I don't know what I was thinking." Cait quickly stood up.
I couldn't speak.
She just kissed me. It hit me like a train. I was confused, but most of all I was confused because I enjoyed the kiss.
I stood up and opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out.
"I'm sorry." Cait put her hand on her forehead.
"Um... I have to go." I said quickly, tripping on my words. Then I ran to the window and climbed out.
When I made it into my room I slammed my window shut and slumped against my wall. I was out of breath for some reason.
How much of an asshole am I? A big enough one to run out on a girl after she kissed me.
What just happened?!
Cait POV
"Okay please breathe, and tell it a little slower, you sound like a seal." Beth said to me.
"Okay rude." Devon said, but snickered.
I could have hung up on this three way call right at that moment, but I needed to update my best friends on all the shit that has happened.
It was four days after the whole Trey incident. I talked to my mother yesterday. We had a very emotional talk and she said she would focus on us and not relationships anymore.
Do I still one-hundred percent forgive her? No, but she's still my mother.
Now, about the Dillon situation? I still cringe when I remember how I leaned in and kissed him. I went to school yesterday and tried my best to avoid him. We do have Mr. Will's class together, and yes the awkward glances we shared could have killed me right then and there. I noticed that he was furiously blushing all through class and I didn't know if that was a good or bad thing.
I had no idea what I was thinking when I kissed him. It was the moment I'm sure. He was being so nice to me and... I don't know. It shocked me. I felt different. I knew right while I was kissing him that It was a mistake.
A horrible, terrible mistake and accident that won't ever happen again.
God, I'm an idiot.
"Okay anyway, please finish your story." Devon said.
"Okay so... he kind of came into my room and I guess he was planning to take me away or something. I've never been that scared in my life though. I remember him telling me, "don't cry, we'll be happy together." It was absolutely disgusting." My eyes got a little teary as I recalled.
I heard Beth and Devon gasp.
"You've got to be kidding me." Beth said.
"I'm not." I replied.
"I am so sorry you encountered that. How are you doing now?" Devon asked me.
"These past couple days I've had time to recover. He didn't actually do anything to me, thank god, just his words and creepy smile are burned into my mind. I had a dream about it last night." I shivered a bit.
"And what about your mom? She must feel godawful." Beth tone was concerned.
I sighed.
"I kind of blamed the whole thing on her, but now I feel as if its just Trey's fault. He actually had everything planned. He knew me before my father died because they were good friends or whatever. It's all fucked up and I'm glad he's locked away for now."
"Agreed." Beth and Devon both answered.
"Now... here's part two. I actually think you guys are going to scream when you hear this..." I told them.
"Oh lord." Devon sighed.
The line was silent after I told them what happened between Dillon and I in two short sentences.
Then after 10 seconds, I yanked the phone away from my poor ear after I heard them shriek.
"This is so awesome!" Devon cheered.
"Totally!" Beth agreed.
"Woah woah woah. This is not awesome. This is bad." I cut in.
"How is this bad?! You kissed the hottest guy in school!" Devon told me.
I groaned in annoyance at my friends.
"Are you guys clueless? Clearly you are! Don't you remember how much we hate him? He spread lies about me in school, constantly nagged and tried to run me to a crazy house, and oh!- did I not mention that he broke into my room and stole my goddamn diary? This is far from awesome!"
"Oh." They both said finally realizing how bad of a person Dillon was.
"But Cait, honey, he comforted you when you were going through something no one should go through. You can't just sit here and tell us he's the worst person in the world."
I listened to Devon lecture me about Dillon and I knew all he was saying was true.
"I know I know. He has changed a little. He's seemed so nice that day. It's just... what should I do?" I asked my friends.
"Give him a moment to think about this. Especially since he just ran out after what happened. Then after a while, talk to him about it." Beth told me her wise words.
How come my friends were so wise?
"Ok I will." I replied.
"Thanksgiving break is coming up really soon." Devon said, trying to change the subject on a happy note.
"Yes! I'm so excited." Beth chipped.
"There's only one thing I'm worrying about before the break..." I started messing with the spine on my diary.
"What's that?" My friends asked me.
"You're going to think I'm stupid when I tell you." I said in an amused tone.
"Just say it gosh." Devon told me sassily.
"Ok ok. Its this project in Mr. Will's class!" I sighed.
"Oh my god are you serious?!" Beth groaned. "You could have gotten that project done weeks ago!"
"I know- it's just so many parts to it! It has to be perfect! And also I have to find someone to do the project on." I said.
"You may not like my suggestion, but I think you should do the project on Dillon. When you first met him, you saw him as a scary, mean person-"
"He still is." I interrupted.
"Not completely though. You even admitted it, remember? You said he changed a little." Devon said.
"Okay fine you're right." I sighed with annoyance.
"Aren't I always." Devon chucked.
"Anyway, Devon is right. Dillon would be perfect to do the project on. Don't you agree?" Beth asked.
On Beth's line we heard screaming children.
"Ugh my sibling can't keep quiet for anything." She said.
"Well how could they? You have like 20 of them." Devon laughed.
"Be quiet you little boogers!" She yelled out to them.
Devon and I started laughing.
"Okay continue." She lowered her tone and made it sweeter.
"I don't know. Maybe Dillon would be a good one. Especially since he's the only person I can think about doing this project on." I admitted.
"Ok great. And theres about two weeks until the break so you have time!" Devon said.
"You're right. Okay, I'll do my first impression project on Dillon."
