Chapter 7: Sorry but not sorry

Dylan POV

I watched as Amelia ran away and thought about what she said. What does she mean by my family ruining her life? Is she trying to blame my family? Have I been selfish?

Those were the questions I asked myself as I walked back into the hall. I ran a hand through my hair and looked around. Couples were dancing while those that were not dancing were talking amongst themselves. I looked around for Amelia but I couldn't find her.

I saw Larry walking up to me, I smiled at him but he slammed his fist into my nose before I could say anything. "What the heck"? I groaned as I touched my nose as red liquid flows out.

" what do you want with Amelia? Haven't you already ruined her life, why did you keep hurting her?" He shouted and punched me in the face. I didn't fight back because I knew I was at fault but I didn't ruin her life instead she ruined mine.

"Why? You are angry because she broke your heart too, "I teased and watched his expression, he looked angry. The remaining guest as they watched the argument between Larry and myself. They began to whisper but I couldn't care less because I deserved Larry's punch. Sophia and Tyler walked up to us and stepped in between us.

" Larry that's enough, let's talk somewhere private. The guests are beginning to stare" Sophia said and dragged Larry behind her.

We all went outside and began to argue." Larry, why did you punch him? Now he is bleeding, are you alright Dylan?" She asked me and touched my face." Both of you are idiots, stop acting like kids " she scolded.

"Dylan is the idiot" Larry glared at me.

" Why are you so mad at me"

"Mad? I'm pissed, I feel like punching your stupid face so that you can finally see well after getting a face surgery!" Larry threatened.

"What did you do to Amelia, she came to grab her purse a few minutes ago and left without talking to any of us but from her expression, I could see she was crying and her hand was bleeding " Sophia explained and gave me a 'did you hurt my friend look'

"I didn't do anything, we only talked about a few things, and then she left," I told them but Larry had a hard time believing me.

He didn't believe me at all.

" oh really! She was with you, Dylan!" He shouted. " who else was going to make her cry if not you? tell us what you did. " Larry sneered.

"Oh, so you think I hurt her?" I asked and he nodded. " what the fuck? I didn't do anything, we only talked" I groaned out in frustration.

Tyler finally spoke up after minutes of glaring at me.

"She doesn't have a ride and at this hour I don't think she would see a cab. She looks hurt when she came to grab her purse"

"When did she leave?" I asked him

"A few minutes ago, I'll go after her." Tyler offered. " you guys enjoy the party," Tyler said and was walking away when I grabbed his hand.

"I'll do it Tyler, I'll look for and take her home"

"So you can make her cry more, no thanks. Tyler go look for her" Larry instructed and got slapped on the back by Sophia." what? it's the truth babe".

"Dylan, go look for her, and please don't do anything bad to her," Sophia said sounding concerned.

"Sure Sophia I'll take her home safe and sound. please tell my mother I already left". I left them and went to where my car was parked and drove off into the street looking for Amelia.

This was all my fault, I thought I'll be happy if she was hurt but I was wrong.

Amelia POV

I cried as I walked in the night. With my heels in one hand and my face ruined from too much crying walked barefooted on the street while the cold night bites into my skin.

I pondered on what Rebecca said to me and how she was right about everything.

EARLIER

"What is your wretched self doing here?" Rebecca demanded as she stood beside me in the washroom.

"Rebecca," my voice shook as I called her name. I trembled in fear because I was afraid of the woman standing In front of me. She was the reason why Dylan and I got separated.

"I asked You a question Amelia brown. Have you turned deaf like your mother ?" she mocked and laughed. " how is Luciana? how is she coping with her deafness ?" Did she mock again?

I clenched my fists and lowered my head trying so hard not to look at her.

"Don't you ever make a mockery of my mother ever!" I yelled and looked up at her.

Instead of replying, she slapped me hard across the face.

"What are you going to do Amelia? You are a weak girl, " she grabbed my shoulder pretty tight. "you couldn't even tell my son about what happened because you are weak!" she laughed and raised my chin." I thought I told you to stay away from my family! your mother's accident isn't enough right? Maybe I should just kill her" she threatened.

I pointed a finger of warning at her "don't you dare touch my mother."

" Then leave my son alone! he is engaged to someone else. Dylan does not belong to your class. I thought I made that clear years ago. Why are you going after someone who doesn't want you? He hates you now Amelia because I made him hate you. I can do anything I want because I am his mother " she clearly stated to put me in my place and she did because I suddenly became dumbfounded.

I didn't know why I couldn't say anything. why was I so scared of this woman? I thought.

" stay away from Dylan or I'll make you, " she threatened and walked out of the washroom.

When she left, I Punched the Wall hard which result in my knuckles bleeding. I looked in the mirror and began to cry. I was weak just like Rebecca had said.

"Why are you weak?" I yelled at my Reflection. A lady entered the washroom and gave me a pathetic look. I quickly wiped the tears off my face and walked out. When I got to my table, I picked up my purse and left in a hurry without speaking to Larry or Sophia and they all stared at me including Tyler. I burst into more tears as I ran out of the hall. I didn't care about the stupid party and the company any longer. I was planning on quitting and going far away from where Rebecca wouldn't find my mother and me.

PRESENT

I continued while walking down the street. A car horned beside me but ignore it and when it was horn again I lost it and shouted at whosoever it was.

"What do you want from me?" I shouted. "And stop horning like an old lady" I yelled at whosoever the driver was.

The driver came out of the car and walked toward me. "Amy" the driver called and instantly I recognized it as Dylan's." Amelia listens to me, I'm sorry for saying all those shit to you. I'm sorry for judging you and calling you names," he apologized but I paid no attention to him.

"Don't come close cause I might kill you," I pointed a finger toward him.

" Amelia, please I'm sorry," he begged.

"Sorry? Your sorry doesn't change a damn thing D" I said calling him by the nickname I gave to him years ago." your sorry also sucks! maybe you should go to school to learn more about the word sorry" I shouted at him and pushed him on the chest.

"Amelia, you are the only one I know who tells jokes in a serious matter" he chuckled but I ignored him and walked away not bothering to argue with him because he wasn't worth it." Amelia," he called my name and ran after me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into an embrace." I'm sorry," he apologized but I punched him on the chest because he doesn't get to hurt me and apologized as if it never happens.

"Leave me alone Dylan! leave me alone!" I screamed and tried to break free from his embrace but he didn't let go of me then he did something I never expected, he kissed me hard on the lips.

Oh, my world! My heart raced fast at the thought of Dylan Blackstone who just kissed me. The only guy I have ever loved was kissing me. I felt butterflies inside me and I felt my earth might explode. Why was he kissing me? I thought.

Was I a joke to him?

I bit his lip and pushed him away when it looks like he was taking advantage of me. "How dare you kiss me you Buffalo?" I slapped him on the chest.

"I'm not sorry I kissed you because it's what I have wanted to do ever since you came to my office," he confessed and pulled me closer then he leaned in and kissed me again. This time I responded to the kiss. I forgot all about Rebecca's threat and I felt like I was melting away. His lips were so soft and he was a good kisser. When he finally ended the kiss, he pulled me into his arms and whispered the word sorry.
