Get dressed let's go to the hospital he said, frantically looking for his car keys.
Dylan, I'm fine, I'm not sick.
Lay down I'll bring a wet cloth he said and stood up to leave but I grabbed his arm.
Don't make me feel awkward I said I'm not sick, I'm serious.
Come here, he said and I rolled my eyes going into his embrace.
By the way, I have something to discuss with you, he said.
You sound serious, what is it? He showed me his phone and my eyes widened.
The headline of the news caught my attention. There was a dating rumor about me and Leon.
A photo was also shown where we were talking backstage.
I do trust you, but the news is kind of weird, Dylan said.
I felt bad knowing I was lying to him.
Is there something you want to tell me? He said. I couldn't bring myself to lie to him.
Dylan, actually Leon and I are….his phone rang interrupting me.
He was on the phone for a few minutes and I lost the interest to talk.
He ended the call, you were saying something?
It was nothing never mind I said. Your work with him will be over tomorrow right?
Yeah, but we have an interview together on Friday, I said.
Oh right I almost forgot, I have something really important to tell you.
What's it?
I want you to meet my parents.
Wait, out of the blue?! I think this is too early, I don't want to rush things, I quickly said.
It's fine if you don't want to meet them now, take your time I'll wait, he said and I felt bad instantly.
Dylan, you wanna marry me?
Of course I want to, I love you Olivia.
You don't want to get married? He asked.
I ran out of the living room and locked myself in the bedroom.
Knowing I would face the same fate as I did with Leon in the past if I got married to Dylan made me break down in tears.
Olivia, what's wrong?! Please open the door, let's talk this out, Dylan said, knocking repeatedly.
Forcing back my tears I opened the door and he rushed in.
You scared me, what wrong? Nothing, I replied.
Nothing? Your eyes are red and you say it's nothing
What exactly is the problem? Did I do something wrong? No you didn't.
If it's not me then what the problem?
I don't want to talk about it. Can you drop me off at my house? I thought you were sleeping over? No I want to go home right now, I said and picked my things
Throughout the ride home, he kept asking me if he did something wrong.
The moment we arrived, I rushed out without saying goodbye.
Dylan called several times and sent loads of messages, asking if I was okay.
I wanted to switch off my phone but later decided to call him instead.
Hello? Olivia, I was so worried, I thought something happened to you.
Nothings wrong I'm alright, and I need to tell you something.
Yeah what is it? I think it's best if we stay apart for now, I need some space.
Is it because I brought up the marriage discussion? I already told you I'll wait until you make your decision.
No it's not about that, I just need some time to figure out some things.
He fell silent for a while and later hung up. I was about to switch off my phone when Leon call came through.
What do you want?
Chill I just wanted to check up on you, he said.
What do you mean check up on me? I'm not sick, what exactly do you want?
Calm down, what's with the attitude, okay fine I just wanted to hear your voice.
Okay and you did, bye. He didn't reply and I hung up
