Chapter Fourty One
The Whitman's were like the perfect family. Well mannered, well manicured, boldly and beautifully black.
Charles Whitman, the father, was a sports attorney. Laura Whitman, Gabriel's mother, was a socialite and a woman of high society like my grandmother; born into money. Gabriel Whitman was as seen on his instagram account, perfect.
As they stood in front of me, I couldn't help but feel jealous of them. I wasn't sure what exactly I was jealous of, but I just wanted what they had. Their presence was felt, and they commanded the room the second they stepped foot in my house. All three of them radiated confidence, something that I'd strive to obtain.
Everyone was quickly introduced, and the next thing I knew, we were all sitting down at the dining room table.
"I must say Dylan, you are a very beautiful girl.
Why haven't you joined the pageant circuit, you'd do very well." Mrs. Whitman said.Related chapters

"You ready to go, Dyl?" Callum asked from behind my door."Wouldn't you like to know." Amy scoffed, as she applied setting spray to my face."I'll be out in a second!" I yelled out to him.Tonight was the my debut as an official member of the Black Women In Society Organization. I asked Amy to do my makeup for tonight since she had done such a great job on my birthday and Halloween.Callum was driving her and I to the hotel where the event was being held. My father, his wife, and her daughter already went ahead of us; while my grandparents had gone earlier to greet guest. Everyone was going to be there tonight to see me come out, Callum's family, Hector, and my cousins Nessa and Marcus.I was kind of nervous about everyone meeting each other for the first time, especially my cousins meeting my father and grandparents. Luckily I wasn't going to witness any of it, as I wouldn't be sitting near them at the ball.A year ag

Callum's POVAs I checked the door that Dylan had scurried out of for the hundredth time, I knew that something was wrong. She had been gone for almost 20 minutes now, and it was starting to worry me. Finally, I got up and went to her family's table."Do you know where Dylan is?" I asked her dad."I'm pretty sure she's in the bathroom." He said."She's been gone a while, don't you think?""You can't spend five minutes without your precious Dylan?" Mel commented from across the table."No, no I can't." I responded bluntly.I walked away from their table, and went to grab Amy."Can you come with me, I need you to check on Dylan in the bathroom." I said to her."Sure, no problem." She replied."I'll come too." Nessa said, jumping to her feet.The three of us walked out of the ballroom and followed the directions to the women's restroom."Let me know if she's okay." I told them before they walked into the

My stomach had finally stopped making noises. All I felt now is a dull ache where hunger had been.My lips were dry and cracked, and dried blood still remained on my head from Kelly knocking me out days ago.When I first met her, I could tell that something was a little off. Her drugging Callum and myself had only confirmed that.But now, I realized that there was something very wrong with her. Some form of mental illness that made her truly deranged.She'd come to see me in the cellar every day, giving me a bottle of water and a handfull of crackers as if I was a pet bird she was forced to feed.It had been a little over two weeks, and I was still in my same gown from the debutante ball. It was filthy, as was I.The only bathroom that I had was a bucket

Callum's POV"Cal, someone is here to see you." My mom said, peeking her head into my room.I shut my laptop and looked up at her."Who is it?" I asked.She pushed my door open, revealing the person standing behind her.I wouldn't say I was shocked to see him, I figured he'd make an appearance sooner or later. But I much rather he'd stayed where he was."Justin. What are you doing here?" I snarled."I'll let you guys talk." My mom said, quickly making her exit.Justin stood in my doorway, staring at me, not saying anything."Well? What the fuck do you want?!"Taking a deep breath, he finally took a step into my bedroom. "I want to help you find Dylan."Of course he did."Take a seat." I grunted, pointing at my desk chair.He sat down, shifting in his seat as if he was uncomfortable."My stepdad told me you were doing your own search. Outside of what th

Justin's POVI looked into the hallway of the birthing suites, watching Steve talk to a police officer. I walked out of the suite towards them, hoping that there was news on Dylan.Steve turned to me, his eyes brimming with tears."What's wrong? She's gone isn't she?" I asked, my voice cracking. My heart stopped and I felt myself beginning to cry."No," Steve shook his head crying. "She's here, she's hurt but she's here, in this hospital.""Where? I need to see her."The officer cleared his throat before speaking. "As I was told Mr Gold, we need to get a full picture of what went on before anyone can see her. I would like for everyone that is close to Miss Gold to come down to the station."This man must be out of his mind."To be honest with you officer, I couldn't give a fuck what you want. What room is she in?" I demanded."Justin calm down." Steve said to me, put

Callum's POVEvery word that came out of Detective Clarke's mouth rattled me to my core."The car that Dylan was found in was registered to a Bryan Kim.""Mr Kim was found locked in your family's wine cellar.""We believe Miss Gold was held there by the Kim's.""We have yet to apprehend Kelly Kim, but we are still looking."Dylan had been in reach this entire time. Kelly took her because of me, and she'd been at the cabin all along. This was all my fault."Can we see her?" My mom asked, her eyes pleading with him. She was visibly shaking, and I understood how she was feeling. She saw Dylan as her daughter.He nodded. "She is now allowed to have visitors. We will keep an officer outside of her door for the duration of her time in the hospital for security purposes."I'd been looking for her for close to a month, and now I
Chasing Dylan Chapter Fourty Eight
I had been going in and out of consciousness for the past two days. I still couldn't open my eyes, but when I was coherent, I could hear every word, feel every touch, and wanted nothing more than to wake up and tell everyone that I was okay.Everyone I cared about came to visit me, even some that I didn't care for. My grandmother would kick everyone out of the room when she visited, she'd sit beside me and stroke my hair, detailing all places we would go together once I woke up. Even in the state that I am, I had never felt closer to her.My father didn't speak to me, which I understood. He spent most of his time yelling at my nurses about frivolous things that I could care less about. He didn't speak, but I could hear him cry. Most of the time it was muffled, but sometimes, loud sobs. It was the worst part of my coma, that, and hearing Callum cry.My cousins visite

Amy left before Callum arrived so that him and I would have privacy. The hospital had called my father, who was also on his way. I was excited to see him, but I hoped that Callum would come before he did.I couldn't wait to see Callum.As I lied back, trying to stretch my legs, there was a knock on the door."Come in." I called out, unable to see who was at the door.A woman walked into the room. She wore an expensive looking red dress with a white lab coat over it, and thick black framed glasses.A man walked in behind her, he looked to be in his mid thirties wearing a dark blue suit."Hi, can I help you?" I asked the both of them."Hi Dylan, I'm Dr. Scott. I am a psychiatrist here at the hospital, Dr. Hines sent me to pay you a visit. Is it okay if the detective here asks you a few questions?" She asked.I looked back and forth between t
