-the hurt in her voice killed him. all he wanted to do was hold her and pretend none of this ever happened. but he knew it was too late. too much had happened. and now they had the daunting fact that he up and left her without notice holding over their heads. any semblence of a normal relationship between them wouldn’t be possible at this point, and besides– andie could do better. she always could do better. he shook his head and created a bigger distance between them- Go back to Joel, Andie. I have to go.

Where? -honestly andie didnt mean to sound so upset or be so direct but she couldn’t help it. she didn’t want to lose dylan… not again. THE POOR GIRL HAS HAD ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH OK- Are you going to run away again? Are you gonna drop from the face of the planet again without even saying a proper goodbye? Cause if you are, just tell me. Please.

Somewhere else. -just as he was about to turn and leave, she started speaking again with so much emotion it effectively stopped him in his tracks- What do you want me to say? I had to leave, Andie. It wasn’t an easy choice but it had to happen. Do you not see that you’re better off without me?

[andiehardesty]

-she simply shook her head- Do you not understand that i've been completely miserable without you? -she stayed silent for a moment as she looked into his eyes before continuing- i've thought about you every day. Every. Single. Day.

-the moment the poem left his hands, he instantly regretted it, it was one of the first poems he had written in almost two years. andie deserved better than a stupid poem, she deserved an explanation, but he couldn’t give it to her. why did he leave? he was scared, mainly. scared that he finally met someone who made the world bright again. she was so much more than he ever deserved and he couldn’t bare to see her wasting her time on him- You shouldn’t have missed me. -he cleared his throat, he could practically feel the pain rising in his throat- Go back to Joel, Andie.

[andiehardesty]

-his words caught her off guard. why shouldn't she have? and even if he was right it's not like she could help it any. when it came to dylan everything else seemed so remote. he was all that mattered. she sighed- Why are you doing this? -she tried to hide the hurt in her voice as best she could- Why do you keep pushing me away?

[dylan-moretti]

-gives her a look- A guy’s following you and you want to give him directions?

[andiehardesty]

Andie gave him a frown before taking another quick glance at the man behind them. “All I’m saying is that he may possibly need some help,” she turned to look at Dylan again. “---You really think he has any bad intentions?” she asked wide eyed, obviously growing concerned.

[dylan-moretti]

-nods his head and continues to walk next to her- Do you have any idea who he is?

[andiehardesty]

-shakes her head- Not a clue. -frowns- Do you think he’s lost? Maybe we should help him.

[cam-weber]

So where do we start?

[andiehardesty]

Lets try the pose first. Show me what ya got! 

[dylan-moretti]

Look, I usually try to stay out of things that don’t concern me, but that guy over there has been following you for the past 30 minutes and I don’t know, maybe you should call someone to walk with you.

[andiehardesty]

Guy...? -turns around slyly to take a glance then returns her gaze back to Dyaln- Well, that is kinda odd. Does someone include you? Please? I’m kind of sort of freaking out now. 

[minxy-mara]

Oh, really?

You really think you can take me on? I’ll have you know that my pool skills are extraordinary and if you pick up that cue you’re taking your life into your hands.

[andiehardesty]

Oh I---No, no, you must have me confused with someone else. I just left my towel here is all.

[cam-weber]

Maybe I need you to coach me to make me the best darn Pokemon master ever.

[andiehardesty]

Now that, my friend, is a challenge I’m more than happy to accept. Count me in!

[jfcsilasm-blog]

Wish I could be that optimistic.

[andiehardesty]

Of course you can. Everyone can be!

[dylan-moretti]

Breaking the embrace, he nervously scratched the back of his head. “You ready to take my picture? Because this moment will never happen again.” He warned, before placing his hands on his waist, mocking a basic superhero pose. 

[andiehardesty]

“Never been more ready for anything in my life,” she teased as she took out her phone. Her giggles grew louder as he posed. Even though he said to only take one, she did her best to secretly snap a few more, hoping he wouldn’t notice. “You’re a natural superhero, Bobby.”

[c-hurst]

I heard someone got run over playing that game.

[andiehardesty]

Oh, yikes, that’s awful. I hope they’re okay. I know this game is incredibly exciting and all, but I hope nobody else puts their life in jeopardy for it. 

[cam-weber]

Note to self get a cool hat if I wanna be a Pokemon zone.

[andiehardesty]

And you need a cool pose too! Then nobody can touch ya.

[dylan-moretti]

If he were being honest, Dylan was a bit speechless over her kindness. He wasn’t the type to get sentimental or emotional over things like this. But the entire gesture was so sweet, he couldn’t even think of anything snarky to say. “Of course I do, Warhol.” He said after a few moments, putting the cape on. “Now get your phone out. I changed my mind, you’re allowed to take pictures.” Without hesitation he leaned forward and pulled her into a quick hug, wanting her to fully understand how thankful he was for the gift. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing and he secretly hoped he hadn’t crossed a line or anything. 

[andiehardesty]

It was hard to contain her contentment once he admitted to liking her gift. So, she didn’t. Andie let out a small squeal of joy as she clapped her hands together. “I’m glad,” she exclaimed, her tone absolutely genuine. It surprised her when he mentioned the he had changed his mind, and she didn’t hesitate for a second before pulling out her phone. Before she could get the camera up and running, she felt his arms wrap around her. Her brows furrowed at his embrace. She was surprised more than anything, especially knowing how Dylan is. Still, that didn’t stop her from wrapping her own arms around him, her grin never leaving her face. “I’m just...really glad,” she repeated.

“The coolest, quite possibly the smartest and I don’t know, Bernie might’ve given him a run for his money. But y'know, politics are politics.” He laughed awkwardly as he noticed her staring, suddenly self-conscious of his current wardrobe which consisted of a ratty band shirt and bike shorts. “You what?” he asked, glancing down at her hands as she pulled the cape out of her bag, a huge grin spreading across his face. “Warhol, you did not.” Laughing softly he took a step toward her, taking the cape into his hands. “You actually made this? Didn’t buy it?”

[andiehardesty]

Her smile only grew at his reaction. Happily, handing him the cape, she nodded at his question. “All me, yup! I used to sew a lot back when I was younger. I haven’t done it in a while, so it’s not my best work, but...” she trailed off. She met his gaze once more. “Do you like it?”

[cam-weber]

Do I look cooler than Ash?

[andiehardesty]

Well, you don’t have the cool hat, but you definitely don’t look half bad. 

[c-hurst]

Oh- that anime show. You had me worried about a real creature for a second.

[andiehardesty]

Nope, you’ve got nothing to worry about! It’s just little ol’ me living my childhood dream is all.
