Chapter Twenty One

Kyle

I woke up to the sound of my phone going off. I groaned and slapped my phone and covered my head with my pillow.

The phone goes off again.

I groaned loudly and looked at the time.

6:07 A.M.

I looked at the caller I.D. and it read,

Britt.

What is she even doing calling me this early?

"Hello?" I answered in a deep voice.

I could hear sniffling on the other line.

I jumped up instantly.

"Britt, what's wrong?" I asked in panic.

"He's gone, Kyle.... Dylan's gone." Britt cried out.

Tears started to fall from my eyes. I hung up the phone and ran out of my room and down the stairs. I struggle putting my shoes on, crying out as I did so.

"Kyle?" I heard mom call after me. I ignored her and opened the door, running out and into my car. I drove off instantly and made my way to the hospital. This can't be happening. The doctor said he was going to be ok. He lied....

Dylan lied.....

It all hit me like a rock to the face.

He told the doctor to say that. That's why Dylan was acting strange.... I should have known....

I pulled into the hospital parking lot and parked by the door, running up to Dylan's room. Britt, their dad and Liz was here already. Sobbing by Dylan's door.

I ran over to the door and seen Dylan's body laying under the white sheet.

"No." I said.

I tried pushing my way into the room, but they wouldn't let me. They held me back and soon I was crying into Britt's shoulder, screaming out for Dylan.

She tried calming me down, but I couldn't. I kept crying and crying. Screaming out for Dylan for hours.

After hours and hours of crying, I finally stopped when the doctor said, "Dylan wrote letters for all of you." He said and handed us all our letters.

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I got up and punched the doctor straight in the face.

"YOU LIED! YOU SAID HE WAS GOING TO BE OK!" I screamed and started crying again.

"Kyle, Calm down!" Liz tried to pull me away. I snapped and ran out of the hospital, getting in my car and driving off. I can't do this. I can't deal with this. Dylan was my everything. I am nothing without him.
