her smile was wide, happy as she looked at him. “that just sounds even more perfect.” a light laugh left her lips as she looked at her dog running around in front of them. “i don’t think rory would ever let you forget he exists.”
Todd looked at Malina with a loving smile on his lips. Tilting his head a little to the side, he looked at the redhead and grinned as a light-sounded laugh fell from her mouth, while the dog looked around in front of them. I don’t think Rory would ever let you forget he exists. He laughed and nodded, reaching out and patted the top of the dog’s head, before rubbing his fingers against the back of his left ear. "I would never forget about Rory," he said, his voice soft and gentle, as well as friendly and approachable. "So, are we staying in tonight then, yeah?" he questioned as he looked at the redhead again.
VIOLET hummed in thought for a moment, “well i’d say i’m pretty happy in general. i don’t think i’ve found the right person yet but i’m not worried about it or anything.” she replied with a simple shrug of her shoulders.
“It will happen for you, before you know it,” Dylan said and nodded, smiling softly at her. “Just give it some time and you’ll find someone who you can’t take your eyes off or take your mind off,” he said and smiled softly, nodding his head at the words coming from his own mouth. “Just... Let it happen when it happens. Trust me, those kind of loves are the best to date,” he said and nodded, while looking at Violet with a smile.
VIOLET hummed in thought for a moment, “well i’d say i’m pretty happy in general. i don’t think i’ve found the right person yet but i’m not worried about it or anything.” she replied with a simple shrug of her shoulders.
“ –– Yeah? I’m glad to hear that,” Dylan spoke, nodding his head with a soft smile on his lips as he listened to what she said about being pretty happy in general, but also how she hadn’t found the right person yet. “You’ll find someone, you wait and see. You’re a great person, Vi, and honestly, it will work itself out. It will happen when you least expect it.”
VIOLET grinned, “look at you, all cute and in love.” she teased, as she brushed the hair from her face. “i general or in terms of my love life?”
look at you, all cute and in love. Dylan laughed and shook his head, shrugging his shoulders in the process. in general or in terms of my love life? “Well, what about both?” he asked and looked at her with raised eyebrows and a gentle smile on his lips.
Vivian’s eyes narrowed, her body leaned against the counter before she spoke again. Her voice hushed. “And you think just sitting here is? Dude what if they are back? Wouldn’t you want to know before they find you?” Before they finished the job crossed her mind, but the one in front of her had been through enough without Vivian adding that.
And you think just sitting here is? Dude what if they are back? Wouldn’t you want to know before they find you? Dylan swallowed and parted his lips to respond, but of course Vivian was right. What she had said was right. Shouldn’t he want to know whether they were back to hunt him down? Or, would that just make him extremely paranoid and go looking over his shoulder constantly? Honestly, he didn’t really know what he wanted at this point. “I guess I’m a little scared if I do find out if they’re back, what they’re going to actually do to me, you know?” he said and laughed awkwardly, shaking his head in the process. “It’s just me being paranoid, I’m sure,” he spoke, his British accent shone through like a sore thumb.
“OH yeah, no i totally understand that.” she truly did, being heartbroken was one of the worst things. “but you’re happy now aren’t you? with malina? was it worth all that just to meet her eventually?”
“ –– Yeah,” he spoke softly, nodding his head, “I mean, definitely worth it. If I had to do it again, I would. For sure.” Dylan smiled softly at the thought of Malina, and how things had just seemed to click once the two of them had found each other, and especially now that they had found each other again. “And, what about you? Are you happy?”
Dylan nodded slowly and swallowed as he listened to the words coming from Leo’s mouth about how he had found her on Instagram and how her profile was public. She made a full recovery. She seems happy now. I just – I don’t wanna be the one to disturb that happiness. “I don’t think you would, to be honest. I mean, I’m sure that she would want to know what happened. She would want to know what happened to you too,” he spoke and swallowed. I think I’ll do it. At least say I’m sorry if nothing else. Smiling at him proudly, Dylan reached out and squeezed his shoulder gently. Thank you for this, man. you’re seriously like, the best person I know. If I’m not a monster in your eyes then I know I’m doing something right. Swear to God. Dylan chuckled softly and winked at his best friend. “You’re not a monster, Leo. You just made some wrong turns in the past. That’s something everyone has done once or twice before. And, you’ve tried to make things better. A monster wouldn’t do that.”
LEO NODDED HIS HEAD in understanding. leo was coming to realize that he couldn’t deal with things by himself. some things simply weren’t meant to be dealt with alone. this was one of them. speaking to dylan gave him a clarity that he definitely wouldn’t have achieved on his own. there was just no way. “thank you.” he breathed out appreciatively, managing a smile as he looked over at his friend.
“KINDA, from afar, i guess. i found her on instagram. her profile is public so i can keep up there. she made a full recovery. she seems happy now. i just – i don’t wanna be the one to disturb that happiness.” leo replied as a small frown came across his lips, shaking his head slowly at the thought. “i think i’ll do it. at least say i’m sorry if nothing else.” leo considered it for a moment before he nodded, turning to dylan. “thank you for this, man. you’re seriously like, the best person i know. if i’m not a monster in your eyes then i know i’m doing something right. swear to god.”
Dylan nodded slowly and swallowed as he listened to the words coming from Leo’s mouth about how he had found her on Instagram and how her profile was public. She made a full recovery. She seems happy now. I just – I don’t wanna be the one to disturb that happiness. “I don’t think you would, to be honest. I mean, I’m sure that she would want to know what happened. She would want to know what happened to you too,” he spoke and swallowed. I think I’ll do it. At least say I’m sorry if nothing else. Smiling at him proudly, Dylan reached out and squeezed his shoulder gently. Thank you for this, man. you’re seriously like, the best person I know. If I’m not a monster in your eyes then I know I’m doing something right. Swear to God. Dylan chuckled softly and winked at his best friend. “You’re not a monster, Leo. You just made some wrong turns in the past. That’s something everyone has done once or twice before. And, you’ve tried to make things better. A monster wouldn’t do that.”
“Shit.” Vivian let out a breath, her eyes wide as they stared back at Dylan. This story seemed to get more intense the more Dylan went on- even with the missing pieces of the attack. “Have you thought about looking into it? Or maybe getting a PI to do all the work? I mean, if they ARE here, wouldn’t it be a good idea to know?”
Shit. Dylan laughed softly and nodded slowly. “Yeah, you could say that again,” he said and shook his head, before lifting his gaze and looking at the blonde in front of him. Have you thought about looking into it? Or maybe getting a PI to do all the work? I mean, if they ARE here, wouldn’t it be a good idea to know? Dylan had thought about it. About looking more into it. It had been something he had been obsessed with when he first got out of the hospital, but then the fear struck and he pushed the thought away as far as humanly possible. “I don’t know if that’s such a good idea...”
LEO LET OUT THE smallest sigh of relief at his words, nodding slowly. that relief didn’t last long, though, when he heard what dylan said next. his teeth sunk into his bottom lip as he considered it. it seemed perfect. no one could connect him to it, yet he could get some kind of piece of mind. apologize. let her know just how sorry he was. he ran a hand through his hair, considering it for another moment before he finally nodded. “i – yeah. okay. that sounds like a good idea. i just – she’s gotta know how sorry i am. if nothing else.”
“ –– Yeah,” Dylan said and smiled softly, nodding his head, glad that his best mate seemed to like the suggestion he had come up with. “At least give it a chance. Who knows, maybe... Maybe it’s something that will help the both of you. Have you kept up with what’s she’s doing? Or how everything is with her? From afar, obviously?” Dylan asked curiously, looking at the young male who looked distraught, which broke his heart. “I just think it’s something you should definitely consider, mate. It might help.”
LEO KNEW THAT DYLAN has a point. it wasn’t a bad idea. it would provide closure, give leo a chance to apologize for what he’d done. on the other end of the spectrum, though, her family could find out and press charges against him. leo knew that he was selfish, but he could not go to jail. he wouldn’t survive that. “i’m not opposed to it, i’m just… i can’t do it now. i’m not ready for that. when i am, you’ll come with me, though?” he let out in a whisper.
I’m not opposed to it, I’m just... I can’t do it now. I’m not ready for that. When I am, you’ll come with me, though? “Of course, man,” he said and nodded, smiling softly at his best friend. “What if you write her a letter?” Dylan suggested, shrugging his shoulders. “You can write it, and I can drop it off at the house for you, if you want? That way, no one can connect it to you, but at the same time, you’ll be able to tell her you’re sorry and what’s been on your mind. Who knows, maybe you could start like a correspondence with her? It –– It might help the both of you, you know, to move on with your lives?”
“Holy shit. Here as in HERE in Treeville?” Her eyes widened along with his words yet again. “I mean, not to scare you or anything but it could be just a checkup. Making sure you don’t say anything to anyone.” Vivian shrugged. She’d been around the mob for far TOO long if a story like this made sense. “Were you big? Could be hired by your competition.”
Dylan swallowed and nodded, looking at Vivian with a worried expression. “I know. I don’t... I don’t remember a hell of a lot from the night, though. I mean, they beat my head in pretty good. Although, I’m sure they’re worried that, if I do see them, I’ll remember what they look like. I don’t know.” Dylan sighed and shook his head, while looking at the blonde across from him. Were you big? Could be hired by your competition. He smiled softly and cleared his throat. “I was... Getting there. I guess. I got a scholarship to the school in New York. And... I was walking home from a show I had done. A pretty important one, and... And as I walked home, someone came and dragged me into an alleyway. And that’s where it stops. Where I don’t remember anything else. My doctor said it could be my brain trying to not remember the pain that I had gone through that night. That could be why.”
“Please, take a seat. The station thanks you in advance for your cooperation and honesty today. The more information you give us today, the faster you’ll be out that door. Understood?”
" –– Honestly, I don’t really understand why I’m here.” Dylan spoke, looking at the police officer with raised eyebrows and a slightly confused expression on his face. “But, I will do what I can for you,” he spoke and swallowed as he crossed his arms over his chest while leaning back in his seat, “even though I don’t really know anything.”
“Are you aware of the events that occurred on February 19th, 2017? More specifically, the attempted murder of Desmond Delaney?”
Shrugging his shoulders casually, Dylan looked at the officer, knowing that he probably came across as a little defensive. “I’m aware, yes. I mean, I heard about it on the news and people in town talked about it once I got here from New York, so – so, I heard about the attempted murder of Desmond Delaney that way, I guess.”
“Had you ever met or heard of Mr. Delaney prior to the incident?”
“No. Never met or heard of him before the incident.”
“Where were you on the night of February 19th, 2017? What were you doing and especially, who were you with? Please recall as much as you can remember, even the smallest bits of information will prove to be helpful.”
"I was back in New York when it happened. At the... At the local hopsital. You can check, if you want. I mean, I’m sure you can snoop into personal files of patients, right?” Dylan said and frowned slightly, narrowing his eyes a little. It was pretty obvious that he didn’t really like the federal or local police. Especially as they hadn’t done much to capture his attackers back in New York when it had happened. “I was in bed, barely able to move.”
“Allow me to make it clear that deception to law enforcement will not be tolerated. That being said, is there anything you’d like to add or perhaps clarify? This will be your only chance.”
“Excuse the language, but why the fuck would I lie about something like this? I didn’t know the guy, nor do I know what happened to him. I wasn’t even in Treeville.”
“–Alright. We’ll be following up on the information provided today for legitimacy. We’ll be in touch. Thank you for your time. You’re free to go.”
Dylan nodded and got out of bed, looking at the police officer. “You do that,” he said in a stern tone of voice, making his way out of the room. You’re free to go.
