Chapter 70 Oakley
“I know you’ve been sleeping outside her dorm room for over three weeks now and she still won’t talk to you,” Dylan says. “But you have to hang in there.”
Sawyer clutches her chest. “Even though it might not seem like it right now…Bianca still loves you.”
Dylan nods. “And you still love her.”
I take another bite of my pizza. Shit’s good.
Sawyer closes her eyes. “I know awful things have happened, but you guys are meant for each other.”
“You two are soul mates,” Dylan adds.
Sawyer blinks like she has something in her eye. “Two crazy halves of the same heart.”
I gesture to the pizza box on my coffee table. “Do you guys want any?”
They both look at me like I’m insane.
Dylan claps her hands. “Oakley, I need you to focus. What we’re saying is important.”
Sawyer rubs her temples. “I know Bianca’s stubborn and hard to handle at times. I get it. But you’re not always a peach either, mister.” Frowning, her shoulders sag. “Please don’t give up on her. You can make it through this.”
“I know you made some terrible mistakes and the guilt is weighing you down, but you’re still a good person.” Looking up at the ceiling, Dylan blows out a breath. “And I never thought I’d say this, but so is Bianca.” Her gaze cuts to mine. “I’m not saying it will be perfect all the time, but I know you two can work it out. Just don’t give up on her, okay?”
I place my pizza down and wipe my mouth with a napkin.
I appreciate Dylan and Sawyer coming here to try to knock some sense into me, but it’s not necessary.
“What the fuck makes you two think I would ever give up on Bianca?”
No matter how upset she is with me, or how stubborn she can be—I’m always going to fight for us.
Because I made her a promise that I’d never leave her.
And I’m fucking keeping it.
