Just Friends? (Dylan O'Brien)

Chapter 12: Goodbye(For Now)

"So you really are leaving?" Jeff ask me, I look over at him nodding my head.

"Yes, I think it would be best. Just for now." I say, no emotion in my face. Jeff sighs before nodding his head and standing up.

"Is this because of Dylan?" He ask, coming over to sit next to me. I look at him shocked he knew.

"How did you?"

"I may be old but I am not stupid." He says, making me laugh a little  bit.

"Do you know when you'll be back?" He ask me, I sigh shrugging my shoulders.

"Well, I hope for the best for you and there will always be a spot open for you to come back." He says, making me smile at him. I nod my head before standing up and giving him a hug.

"Thank you for understanding." I whisper, he nods his head before pulling away and smiling at me. I grab my purse and sling it over my shoulder. Turning on my feet, I go over to the door, putting my hand on the cold door  knob I turn it than look back at Jeff.

"Bye for now."

"Keep in touch Payton." He says, waving at me. I smile before exiting the room. Walking through the Teen Wolf set, I could feel tears come to my eyes. Knowing that this would be my last time for a little while.

"Payton?" I turn around to see Dylan walking over to me, a smile on his face. I take one deep breath before plastering a fake smile.

"Hey." I say, he comes over pulling me into a hug before pulling away.

"What are you doing here? You aren't suppose to be here till tomorrow." He says, folding his arms. I sigh, before looking towards the wall.

"I won't be here tomorrow." I mumble, before turning back to Dylan.

"What why?" he ask me, confused plastered on his face.

"I am going back home for a little while." I say, shrugging my shoulders.

"When are you coming back?" He ask me, coming closer to me. I shake my head backing up from him.

"I'll come back when I feel better. Bye Dylan." I say and turn around, walking away from him for the billionth time. 

I go over to my car, getting into the driver seat and closing my eyes. I take deep breaths, feeling the tears come down. I shake my head wiping my eyes and starting the car. Backing up, I drive home to start packing. 

Once I get to the apartment, I walk in to see Holland and Crystal watching Tv. They turn to me, a smile on there face.

"Hey how did it go?" Holland ask, standing up and walking over to me. I sigh, walking to the kitchen and grabbing a banana. Slowly opening it, I take a bite and swallow before answering.

"I'm going home. But I ran into Dylan today." I say, taking another bite of my banana.

"Wait really? What happened?" Crystal ask walking in, with her elbows crossed.

"It seemed like he didn't care. I mean he was confused but I told him and walked away. He didn't seem like he would have when we actually did talk." I scoff, shaking my head before finishing my banana.

"Whatever, I have to pack." I say, throwing my banana in the garbage and walking to my room. Picking up my huge suitcase, I grab half of my shirts from my closet putting them in. Than my pants and dresses.

I hear a knock on the door, than it slowly opening. I turn my head to see Holland walking in.

"Hey." She says, before walking over to me, she grabs some pants folding them and putting them in my suitcase. 

I stop what I was doing, putting my hands on my suitcase, taking deep breaths. I could feel more tears coming down my face. I was so tired of crying, of feeling this way. I just wanted to forget about him. Forget about everything we have done, about they way he would always help me when I was down.

"Payton, It will be okay." Holland says, giving me a hug. I lay my head on her shoulder, not saying a single word.

"I'm fine." I say, pulling away from her and wiping my eyes.

"I'm leaving tonight and I get to see my family. I am completely fine." I tell her, putting more clothes in my suitcase. I go to the bathroom grabbing my toiletries. Walking back into my room, I see Holland looking at a picture. I walk over to her, to see it was a picture of Dylan and I.

He was smiling, his arm wrapped around me, while I had a silly face, with my fist in the air. I smile, thinking about that night. It was Holland's birthday party. Dylan and I were together the whole night, not letting each other go.

"That was a fun night." Holland says laughing, I laugh to turning to look at Holland. She puts the photo down looking at me.

"I'm gonna miss you a lot." She says, pulling me into a hug.

"I won't be gone forever. Just for a few weeks maybe months." I say shrugging my shoulders. She nods, pulling away from me.

"Well, I'm gonna go finish watching my tv show." She says, wiping her eyes and walking away. I smile at my best friend before walking to my suitcase and packing.

I look at the time to see, it was time for me to go. I sigh, walking out with my suitcase to the living room. Looking in the living room, I see everyone here except for Dylan. I shake my head before putting my suitcase down and walking over to everyone.

"So, I guess this is goodbye." I say, looking at everyone. Posey comes over to me, shaking his head.

"For now." He says, pulling me into a hug. I smile, wrapping my arms around his waist. I give everyone hugs, before I get to Daniel. 

I look up at him to see he had a smile on his face.

"I'm gonna miss you." He says, kissing my cheek and wrapping his arms around my waist. I stand up on my tippy toes, wrapping my arms around his neck. 

"I'm gonna miss you too." I whisper to him. We pull away and I walk to my suitcase. Grabbing it, I open my front door to have everyone follow me down.

Once I get down there, I put my suitcase in the trunk before looking at everyone again. I wish Dylan was here, just so I could say goodbye.

"He said he would try to come say goodbye to you." Posey says, reading my mind. I look over at him, nodding my head before looking back at everyone.

Ten minutes pass and I shake my head figuring he won't come. I say goodbye to everyone before getting in the car and driving off. Tears in my eyes, wishing he could come say goodbye to me.

Home here I come...
