Unforgettable: Part Three.

18

my mom started walking over to the guy and my phone rang

josiah: yes?
quinn: yo I came to the pool cause it was hot as hell, but EVERYONE IS HERE!

I kept looking over at my mom while trying to care about quinn's "situation"

quinn: I wanna get in but theres no room!
josiah: quinn, you have a pool at home
quinn: you think I wanna walk in this heat?!
josiah: sounds very exciting but i uhh I gotta go
quinn: WHAT DO YOU MEAN EXCITING-
josiah: alright see you later
quinn: YOU-

I hung up the phone and saw my mom now IN this guys car, and they looked like they were arguing

*elis pov*

my heart was racing, I hadn't seen dylan since we were about 19. he was getting in his car and I got in the passenger seat, closing the door

dylan: what the fu-

he turned his head and completely froze

dylan: ...arely? oh wow uh.. I-it's so nice to see you-
eli: you moved to the states, why are you here

he flinched

dylan: ah... I missed it here.. and I was hoping to talk to andy and kayla... and... you
eli: ...
dylan: how are you and... kairi
eli: im not here to catch up, I wanna know why you've been hanging around my son
dylan: ...

he seemed nervous

eli: answer the question, dylan
dylan: ..I was too nervous to go and see you.. and I heard about how the "son of eli and kairi" works at 7/11.. so I went
eli: this isn't a one time thing though, is it?
dylan: ...no, it's not

he looked guilty, that look wasn't anything new to me though

eli: I don't know why you would think it was a good idea to come and see me. I don't want anything to do with you
dylan: arely-
eli: no, you talk when I say talk.

he sighed

eli: stop going near my son. im not sure what you were trying to accomplish by stalking my child, but you sure aren't getting any type of validation from me
dylan: you-
eli: did I SAY talk?
dylan: im not your dog, so i'll talk when I wanna talk

I furrowed my brows, dylan and I have always had the same temper. part of the reason we had so many arguments when we were together.

dylan: what happened, happened years ago and I have apologized so many times
eli: you think i'm still mad about you cheating?
dylan: then why are you still angry with me!
eli: im not angry with you! i'm angry at myself! because I made myself believe that I was somehow to blame for YOUR actions. so i'm SORRY if i don't want to remember how pathetic I was
dylan: you think I want to remember?! I have to live with the "what if" what if I hadn't drank that night. what if i hadn't cheated. we could've had a family right now-
eli: stop fantasizing about a could've been future with me — because i regret even having a past with you
dylan: huh, is that so?

I scoffed, he did too and laid his head on the steering wheel. he chuckled to himself

dylan: no you know what, this was a mistake, I don't know why I thought you'd listen. nothing has changed
eli: and nothing ever will

he stared at me, with such sorrow in his eyes, yet his tone was angry.

eli: stay away from me and my family
