CELESTE'S POV
Getting out of the tub, I hurriedly dried myself up. I had no choice, but to do what Carl wanted. But there was something, that I must confirm before doing anything else.
Tying my bathrob around my naked body, I went towards the telephone beside our bedside table. I dialled Tobias's number and waited for him to pick up. He picked up at the fourth ring and answered in a busy tone, " What happened, Cel?!" I rubbed my temples and tried to sound cheerful, "Ash! Are you really going to be late today?!"
CELESTE'S POVMy voice was stuck in my throat, due to fear that was overclouding ny better judgement. It was that moment in my life where I felt like I won't be able to speak anymore as my heart was beating in my eardrums.The person who had dragged me, pushed me and I fell down harshly on the hard-dirty floor. Blood started to pour out my knee, legs and palms of my hands as I had scrapped then on the cold-hard road. My mind was not allowing me to focus on that wounds. I just wanted to know what the person who had dragged me to the darkness, wanted from me. Turning around suddenly, to find out who did it, I was met with darkness as the lights wer
DYLAN'S POVI came back home, but she was still lingering at the back of my mind, making me feel irritated. Standing in front of the glass panel in my penthouse, I focused on the building, that was little far away from here, but could be seen clearly. That was where she was, that was where she belonged.Snap out of it, Dylan. I scolded myself internally and sighed, trying to ease my mind. I need to get her out of my mind before she becomes a problem for me but maybe, she had already become a problem for me.
AUTHOR'S POVDylan shooked his head off. Maybe he was imagining things right now. He turned around to leave, mentally taking note to rest for a while, as he was sure he was too tired. Just as he took a step forward, the sobs coming from that dark secluded corner stopped him again.Something was bugging him. His gut feelings were telling him, that it was not just his imagination. He was feeling the urge to just check out that alleyway, for one time. There was nothing to lose anyway, even if it was his imagination.
AUTHOR'S POVDylan had been standing at the door for almost 5 minutes, staring at her unconscious self. She was laying on his bed, looking so weak and vulnerable, that his heart was unwantedly hurting for her. He took a step forward and went towards her. He sat down beside her, careful of not ending up hurting her more.He grabbed her hand, that was bruised and caressed it slightly, while looking at her closed eyes. Sighing, he pushed his hairs back with the other hand and continued rubbing circles on the back of her hand, with his thumb.

He knew, it was never good, when Dylan started to think hard.He cleared his throat to get Dylan's attention. Dylan turned to glance at Harry and turned back around. It was a sign for Harry to sit down on the sofa. Harry took timid steps and plopped down on the sofa, when Dylan glared at him.
AUTHOR'S POVDylan has been sitting beside her for almost two hours now. She had slightly started to turn in her sleep. He was admiring her. He glanced at the watch, that was placed at the side table.

AUTHOR'S POVAfter exact one hour of painful wait, the front door of Dylan's penthouse opened and Cole stepped in, followed by an angry and worried Tobias."Where is she?!"

AUTHOR'S POV~4 years laterThe door of the bedroom was opened slowly as a small head peaked from the crack to see if the coast was clear.
