Dylan's p.o.v
I just left after I explained to Tyler why I was leaving and texting Josh explaining it to him. I take a pic in front of the hotel posting it to Instagram as on outfit of the day pic trying to keep everything as normal and ok as possible even though it wasn't. Before I posted the pic I put it in FaceTune and smoothed over my face and eyes attempting at making it look a bit more normal. It didn't work but I posted it anyway. I went and checked in telling the guy at the desk that i didn't know how long I'd be here so I'd just pay every night until I left. He said it was fine and gave me two keys to my room and helped my carry my bags. I must've looked pretty bad if this guy is helping me Carry a small book bag and my barely two pound suitcase to my room a few feet away. But I did appreciate it very much.
When I got to my room I sat on the bed and everything hit me at once. I started crying pulling my knees to my chest and clutching joshes sweatshirt as close as possible. I miss him I miss him so much. I didn't want to leave him but I had to he would've hurt me more if I would've stayed. Nothing would've been the same. I want to go back I want to cry in his arms I want him to tell me it's gonna be ok and I want him to actually be sorry. But I know he probably isn't. I know I was nothing to him.
I really don't know how long I've been laying here but I get snapped out of my thoughts when I hear someone knocking on the door a few times. I get up sniffling and wiping my eyes still holding his sweatshirt making me feel safe. I open the door and wait for someone to say something then look up and see its Josh. Part of me wants to pull him in and just hug him and let him tell me it's ok. But I know it's not ok so I close the door laying on the floor in front of it using his sweatshirt as a pillow. I can hear him talking but it sounds so far away. The side of me that still cares about him and wants him kicks in so I reach up still laying on the floor and open the door. He must've not been expecting me to open it anytime soon because when I opened the door he feel backwards onto the floor beside me hitting his head hard. Half of me says he deserves it the other half feels kinda bad but wants to laugh. We both stand up and walk in I close the door and he sits on the corner of the bed.
I grab the chair from the little desk and pull it to where I'm sitting in front of him our knees inches apart. I take a second to look at him his eyes are puffy and red and his face is blotchy and tear stained. I look down at my hands which are folded in my lap.
"Hey Dyl, baby, look at me please...?" His voice wavers on the verge of tears. I shake my head no still not wanting to talk scared I'd start crying, "ok. Don't it's fine I don't blame you. I wouldn't wanna look at me right now either. Especially after what I did to you." He pauses waiting for me to say something, but I don't.
"Can you at least talk to me Dyl." His voice cracks and he puts his hand on my knee and I put my hand over his rubbing it.
"I'm sorry I left. I should've let you explain. I hope I didn't make Tyler to mad at you." It's like a wave of relief washed over him, his whole body relaxes and his voice is calmer when he speaks. "Tyler is beyond pissed at me, but I get it because you guys are like brother and sister you've always been close and he doesn't wanna see you hurt. I don't either that's why I'm here." He reaches over gently lifting my chin up so I'll at him he instantly frowns and wipes my stray tears with his thumb.
"Josh I forgive you. Ok? I would never stay mad at you I just over reacted." He pulls me into his lap hugging me burying his face in my neck.
"No trust me you didn't over react at all. If I were you I would've ignored me for longer than a few hours." I smile it feels nice being this close to him again. "I can't stay mad at you I'd miss ur squinty eye smile and cheesy pick up lines to much."
We both laugh all the tension just washing away. We lay down next to each other holding hands, and I take a picture of our hands and put it on Instagram captioning it "zall good." Everyone knew it was Josh because you could see the tattoos on his wrist going up his arm.
"Dyl we have to go back to the bus to drive to the hotel so we'll be ready for a sound check and the show tomorrow night." I squeeze his hand then nod. He gets up and grabs my bags then my hand and putting the bags on the bus. we go to check out at the front desk.
Once we are back on the bus and laying on one of the beds he looks at me for a few minutes smiling. "Hey, let me take you on a date tonight." I nod smiling
"Absolutely mister Dun. where too?" He pressed his finger against my lips and I playfully bite it making both of us laugh. "That's a secret Mrs. Dun." I blush and playfully hit his chest.
"Aye. It's Dylan to you." He nods "I know I know I'm just speaking future tense." I nod laughing.
"I'm sure you are." He checks the time then looks back at me. "Ok ok. It's 1:22 we can nap for two or three hours so we don't look dead then get ready and go on our date around...7?" I nod and he pulls me into his chest falling asleep.
When I wake up at 5:03 I know it's later than Josh wanted us to sleep but he looks so cute when he sleeps. I run my hand through his hair gently waking him up. He smiles up at me then kisses my cheek. I tell him what time it is and he starts freaking out bouncing around everywhere to get ready. He tells me to either bring or wear a bathing suit. I throw on white jean shorts and my black bikini top then one of his muscle tanks over it and pull my hair up into a ponytail putting mascara and lipstick on. Around 5:45 we are both done getting ready. We start walking off the bus and don't see Tyler anywhere but decide to ignore it knowing he'll be around later.
He reaches over grabbing my hand kissing the back of it as we walk down the board walk. Once we are at the end he pulls out a bag of food out of the the draw string bag he has with him. "Subway? I know you have to be hungry." I nod smiling and take it from him eating and thanking him. We eat in silence people watching under us and staring into the ocean. Around 7:10 the sun starts to set. He pulls me closer to him and starts playing with my hair kissing my head every once in a while.
At 7:35 he starts shaking a bit and sweating clearly nervous. He's going through the draw string bag looking for something when he sees it he relaxes a bit. "He lets go for a walk along the beach for a bit Dyl." I nod still watching the sun make the ocean it's grave. Apparently Josh dun is to cool to walk back off so he jump about 12 feet and lands in the sand then I throw his bag down to him.
"Come on Dyl just jump I'll catch you I promise." He looks up at me smiling and holding his arms out. I jump off the edge and land safely half in the sand half in his arms. He caught under my right arms and my left leg and the rest kinda hangs there. We both laugh and he picks me up kissing my cheek then setting me back down. About fifteen minutes into the walk the sun is almost completely gone and jishy looks nervous again.
As we walk he looks through the bag again pulling a small white box out, but continues walking and grabs my hand stopping. "Hey Dyl can I ask you something?"
I look at him and smile "yeah anything jish what's up?" He steps in front of my and gets down and one knee and I'm a bit confused but everyone walking by stopped and is watching.
"Ok Dylan this isn't an engagement ring this isn't a proposal I know neither one of us is ready to get married yet, but this is a promise ring." A few people walk away but a few more stay as a he cracks open the white box reaves king the most beautiful ring I've ever seen in my life. It was an silver ring with and infinite loop with diamonds on either side and it had the date we met engraved on the inside. I gasped my hands covering my mouth and started crying.
"I may not be ready to get married and I know you aren't either but I'm ready to promise to never hurt you and to love you and be there for you when you need me. To always tell the cheesiest pick up lines just to say you look beautiful. I've haven't known you long at all Dylan but my heart is yours I'm wrapped around your finger. Are you ready to promise me the same?" He looks up at me tears forming in his eyes I wipe my tears away and nod.
"I promise. Josh I promise I won't hurt you, and I'll always be there and put up with your insanely cute cheesy pick up lines. I promise." I laugh a bit still crying. He starts crying a long with a few other people around us.
"Oh yeah one more question Dyl?" I nod. "Yeah anything Josh." I wipe my tears away.
"Will you be my girlfriend." I nod frantically tears spilling again. "It would be my honor Josh." He stands up and I jump into his arms. A few people start clapping when he slams his lips against mine. I put my hands in his hair as he holds me and we kiss. We stop kissing and finally stop crying shakily he slips the ring on my finger and I notice he has a ring on to. I pick his hand up looking at it. It's s silver band with a small heart cut out and two dates carved in it along with out initials on the inside. The dates are the day we met and todays date.
"Babe why is todays date on your ring." He smiles. "First time we made each other these big promises the day I got the girl of my dreams and our first real kiss." I nod smiling.
"You know I was gonna do this when we got to Italy to try and make it really romantic, but I need you now and I wanted you to know I'll always be there." I kiss the back of his hand.
I smirk. "So you had this planned?" He nods smiling
"Yup ever since the day I met you." We both laugh walking hand in hand to the hotel.
Really long chapter I know but it was so so so good...at least I thought it was. Took me five hours to finish and perfect it.
