CHAPTER 90: Recruiting Dylan

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Starlight restaurant; the overhead sign read and I sighed heavily.

If I wasn't so fed up with missing Luka and not being able to do anything about it, I'll go back home at this point.

From where I stood looking in, the restaurant looked busy. What if Dylan throws me out or causes a scene? After all, I didn't call ahead, I just showed up at his mother's restaurant where I found out he was interning after stalking him on instagram.

It's been one week.

Seven whole days of living like this. If I ever needed a confirmation that living without Luka was hard this was it. Being apart without any kind of communication is even harder.

I find myself staring at my phone hoping it will ring indicating that he is ready to talk to me now or typing and deleting messages because it doesn't even come close to fixing what I did.

I don't even know how he is doing since nobody seems to be talking to me right now.

Was he still not talking to anyone?

I wanted to go over there but shame wouldn't let me

    LUKAI could feel everyone giving me worried glances, after all it's been one week since I spoke to anyone about anything so it's understandable.The way my right hand was bandaged wouldn't let me make a fist or hold a spoon properly. I tried raising the silver spoon in my left hand to feed myself some of the creamy brulee soup that was for dinner but I spilled most of it and threw the spoon back into my plate with a loud clang and let out a string of curses. I picked up the bread that was in a woven basket in the center of the table and bit into it leaning back to judge everyone's mood before saying what I had to say. "I passed the GED." My announcement got everyone's full attention as it was the first statement I've said to anyone in more than a week. I could see the relief in Leonardo's face as he exhaled visibly. "So?" My father asked cutting off my mom who looked like she had something to say. "I'm moving away to college. I did apply to some places already, and I've gotten s

    "Oh. My. God." Tammy screams with her hand going to cover her mouth. I sighed heavily feeling my own eyes fill with tears. This was my exact reaction. At first I was elated when the truth came out, but then I thought about Tammy and things just changed. It must be difficult, hating him all these while. Being able to channel the pain of that night at someone but not the person was faceless and she really didn't know who. I could see the confusion in her eyes, followed by the refusal to accept what Dylan and I were saying. She got up angrily and pulled out her hand from my grasp and started pacing. Her hands went to her ears to pluck her fingertips and block them so she couldn't hear anymore of what we were saying and we let her. "No. No. It was Luka, he did this to me." She repeated over and over while pacing. Except it wasn't Luka. In fact, Dylan and I didn't need do much diggibg, because the moment I told him how long ago it was and what night it was he was sure it wasn't Luka. L

    I took the bus back, needing the walk to the station to clear my head. My phone was tucked away in my pocket in silence so I was not aware that it had been ringing till I stepped inside the house only to find my mother already home. "Mom," I called softly, finding her hunched over the breakfast bar, with the smoke detector alarm whirring loudly. I looked around to find Annie only to find her slumped and leaning beside the kitchen door with her inhaler in hand. Annie-Marie was asthmatic, she must have had an attack or something while I was gone. I went to her and squatted in front of her as she tried to take in shallow breaths, while my mom opened the windows and was trying to clear off the mess Annie made. My mom turned around and dug her fingers into the pocket of her scrubs, "where were you?" She wasn't dreaming, the cold deadliness in her voice was enough to let me know the severity of this. "I…I..I just stepped out for a minute. What are you doing back home so early?" No way

    "Where were you Isabella?" She asked again and I sighed before closing the door and throwing the key into a bowl beside the door where we usually dropped the keys and other miscellaneous items. "At Dylan's." I answered honestly and pulled off my vans. "And who is that?" Scowling at me. "My friend." I answered slowly and stood at the bottom of the stairs. "What was so important that you had to sneak out for?" I couldn't tell her the full answer, so I shuffled on my feet, shifting my weight from one to another. She got up with a loud hiss, "it's like I don't recognize you anymore nowadays. The need to defy me, the secret meetings, the lack of attention. Is this all tied to your relationship or what?" I kept quiet not knowing how to explain all that was going on or where to begin. "This isn't over, Isabella. We will finish this discussion in this morning. Also, I disconnected the Wifi and took your laptop and you're grounded till you're thirty." With that she got up and went back u

    The atmosphere in the house the last two was strained. My mom was acting like I didn't just tell her that I want to go off and live with a boy by ignoring me. While my sister was tiptoeing around the both of us scared to blow everything up. I know what my mom was trying to do. She was deliberately not making an issue out of it and giving me time to see the futility in what I wanted to do. Not this time though. Ignoring what I said isn't just going to make it go away or make me reconsider. It wasn't a fresh thought that I haven't thought over. School here basically ends up with me being bullied nowadays. Maya and her clique had decided to make my life even more miserable than it already is day by day now that Luka was no longer here. I find myself randomly wanting to tell him about something that happened during the day or wanting to just smell him or feel his skin on my fingers. So, no. This is not a phase I'm going to grow out of. It's something I've made up my mind about. A

    The clouds looked like fuzzy, clumped up pieces of cotton wool from my position at the window. "Good afternoon everyone, this is your captain speaking. The American Airline flight to California will be landed in about seventy minutes. Do enjoy the rest of your flight." The deep baritone voice called out over the speakers and I couldn't help but feel my stomach knot in anxiety. Seventy minutes more till I land in the same city as Luka. This was all I wanted all month long, all I planned for the last one week. Taking this step was proving harder than I thought it would be. Saying goodbye to my mom, Annie, Tammy and Dylan this morning and I almost burst into tears at how much I'm going to miss them. "You've got this, Isabella." I whispered underneath my breath and blew air through my mouth to try to calm myself. I opened my wallet and dug out the description Paula gave me written on a piece of paper and checked to be sure the card my mom pressed into my hands earlier this morning wa

    LUKAI've never had any issue finding home in a new place without family or friends. I ran away from home and lived on my own for two years spending months at a place before moving on till I fell in love. Finding my footing in university has been hard. The thing with going on to college is that it exposes your inadequacies. I've come to learn that i'm not as smart or gifted as I think I am. I've passed through everything barely putting in maximum effort till I got to college. Now I have to put in effort to an extent at least, I have to study, do assignments, presentations and all of that. I'm also not interested in making friends right now, though somehow people always surround me. After class today, I went straight to see a lawyer regarding Leonardo. I meant what I said about having him live with me. I'm all settled in now and and I can start working on it. It's not going be so easy though. Apparently, it might take me suing my parents and I'll have to prove it in court that they

    BELLA I stretch out my hands lazily to the side, searching for the warmth I clung to all night but finding nothing before I lazily open my eyes and reach for my phone on the bed stand. I sat up in shock when I saw the time. It's almost noon. The blinds were drawn so that there was no bright light flooding the room so I didn't know time had gone. The emptiness beside me is my answer that Luka had already gotten up. But I knew he slept in this bed last night. Sometimes at night I woke up to find us pressed into each other side by side. The memory stretched my lips into a small smile. One of the best things ever is to be spooned by Luka. It's one of the most intimate non sexual thing between us which I really like. I do like the sexual parts between us too. I open the room door gently and stuck only my head out trying to check if he is still around before I go out there. The area was empty so I stepped out only to see a note stuck on the fridge. I have classes back to back. Order in

    My hands trailed on the rough skin on Bella's thigh with so much concentration that I didn't miss it when she flinched away. The loving and tenderness that I have spent the last one hour coaxing into her skin was gone. In its place was the rigid straightening of her spine and shoulders, an indication of how tense she suddenly became, almost as if she knew what was coming.The last six months we have been living in a bubble. I had accepted that it was okay for her not to say those three magical words that used to make my heart soar back to me, but lately it's been getting to me. Or maybe it's the way she never wants to talk about the 2 year gap in our relationship, or the baby we didn't know we had but lost. I want to know if she still secretly blames me for what happened. If every single time she sees the scars she hates me the way I do myself. I didn't mean to but I sighed loudly, my shoulder drooping before I rolled her body away from mine and got up padding softly to the bathroom

    "I'm really sorry for the part I played in this. Especially knowing that you saw everything that happened that night. We staged a ruse and didn't take you into consideration and for that I'm sorry. Luka is my friend, and all I want is for him to be happy. He means so much to me that's why I came here and I told you my side of the story, it's up to you now whether you believe it or not." Erica ended and got up to leave. I couldn't bring myself to nod or acknowledge her. She had shown me proof that she was after all in a relationship with someone then, who was a professor at their school and telling me this could put her in trouble but she had chosen to do it anyway. I don't know what I was expecting to feel when the 'proof' came, but I'm not sure it's this. If I don't have the usual anger or person to blame for all my predicament then where do I stand? What is this deflated feeling I have in my stomach? Like a balloon punctured at the far end. "Bella," Luka began after a whi

    The ride down to Luka's place was one of the most uncomfortable rides I've ever had to endure. My reference to his trysts with other girls was like an elephant in the room. It made me irritated and angry but he looked sad and kept giving me glances which I acted like I wasn't aware of. It was a different apartment from the last one which came to me as a suprise. But what I didn't expect was to see a fur covered, energetic dog launch at me. It did occur to me to go back to the shelter and ask about her wellbeinh after I got out of the hospital but I always assumed she would have been adopted or have moved on without remembering who I was. The moment she saw me she barked loudly and ran to me, wagging her tail. She remembered me, and that made me so warm and happy inside. I spent the next few minutes sitting there on the floor of Luka's studio apartment recieving her licks and hugs and reciprocating her love with my belly rubs and hugs. It took a while before she went on to greet Luk

    Life was slowly and steadily returning to normal. Did I cry alot after that phone call with Luka? Yes. Did I fight the urge to go to him and be sure he is okay concerning the pregnancy bombshell I dropped on him? Yes. Did I think he'll show up after that night and actually accept responsibility to apologize for the way every thing turned out? Again Yes. But he didn't. Somehow, whatever I said to him must have resounded with him because he stayed away just as I asked. And it took a while but I took a day at a time. I showed up to classes, I smiled when it was necessary and went to as much of the freshers parties I could go to while my therapist tried to make sure I didn't loose my mind. Day in day out, I told myself that now that I have confronted Luka with all the hurt and the pain, I didn't need to see him again and I was happy that he didn't show off so why was he here now and why did I feel the familiar warmth and twinge in my chest that was usually there whenever I was near h

    LUKAKnowledge isn't always power, it's sometimes pain. The kind that has you buckled over like you were kicked in the nuts. Nothing about this all consuming pain makes knowing about everything feel powerful. l feel powerless. With no single idea on how to fix this. My eyes burn and my wrist hurts from drawing and painting all day today. I also felt weak all over. When I drove down to Bella's dorm room last night all that was going on in my head was that I needed it not to be true. That there was a way out, a slim ray of hope that still gives me a redeemable chance but it had turned out to be the opposite of that. Not only had the details of what happened over the one year that I had stormed into my dad's office to get, found out to be true there were also more. Like a baby, a child between Bella and I that had miscarried. So much has happened, and I have no idea how I'm going to fix it. I haven't slept in almost 72hours. From the flight down home, to the flight back to going to

    BELLA"Who is there?" I snapped. The loud noise coming from the person banging at the door repeatedly and forcefully echoed around my little room. "Who is there?" I called out even louder than earlier and was met with no response, just continuous, loud, pounding on the door. I thought about ignoring the person since they didn't answer me, and also because it was too late at night to be calling on someone since it was raining heavily. I grabbed my phone, "if you're not going to answer, I'm calling Campus security." The knocks and pounding stopped for a while after my threat and I heard the person curse out loudly in a strange language that wasn't totally foreign to me, since I knew the accent. Before I could come up with a solution, the loud knocks continued. I opened the door intent on giving the person a piece of my mind if it was who I thought it was and I was right. It was Luka. He was standing there soaking wet from the rain with his teeth chattering from cold and his eyes re

    LUKAI woke up with an insane need to vomit and shot out of the tiny bed, searching with my eyes for the nearest toilet before I did it all over the floor. I barely made it to the toilet bowl before I found myself puking all over the cramped toilet floor. I puked and puked till I started to retch and my entire body felt weak and tired. Where the fuck am I and how did I get there? I lay back down on the cold floor, a little farther from the mess I just made but close to the toilet seat, and rubbed my head trying to remember bits and pieces from last night. It was the same thing from the last few days. I went out to drink, then Dylan joined me and the night ended with me drinking to stupour basically.I looked around the room, the toilet floor did look clean and I had zero energy to lift my body up right now anyway. The patterns on the floor of the toilet were faded like it had been scrubbed off due to use. From my position on the floor I couldn't see past a flowery pattern shower c

    BELLA"I ran into Luka at school." I tried to make my declaration as unimportant as possible so that my mom wouldn't be alarmed or throw a fit and I must have succeeded because she didn't say anything. She was putting away the groceries and if not for the slight pause in her movements I would have thought she didn't hear me. "Ma, did you hear me?" I asked just to be sure. "It's been more than two weeks now why are just telling me?" My mouth opened on its own when she said that. "How...how did you know?" I managed to stammer out. "Are you having me followed?" I chuckled at the question, "nah, we don't have enough money for that." "Seriously mum, how did you know?" "Why else did you put your head on my laps and was crying some weeks ago? And what else could be the reason behind you moping? The only reason you're telling me now, is because you're moving to the dorms tomorrow." Wow. Nothing ever passed by this woman. Nothing. As in Zilch, Zero, Nada. "Just because I didn't say a

    LUKAI threw my bag to the floor and fell on the couch like a sack of potatoes before sighing loudly. Sam, who when she heard the door open ran up to me wagging her tail in excitement followed me now to the couch and I stretched to pat her on the head. It did make me feel good everytime I walked in and there was always someone excited to see me. I barely had any time to think about my sad life and everything that happened today; from seeing Bella earlier to her running away, to me going back to school to finish up some school work to coming back home.But I know that I'm tired, very much so. I really think it's more mental exhaustion than physical. I guess I deserved this cold treatment but it didn't mean that it didn't hurt cause it hurts like a bitch. I got up and trudged to the fridge to get a bottle of water and the moment the cold liquid entered my stomach in protest it grumbled. I haven't eaten anything almost all day. I opened the fridge to search for something I could eat
