The morning before the fight

I prepare breakfast for us waiting for him to wake up, I guess he didn't get enough sleep last night.

Then he turns around and opens his eyes.

"Oh hey there sleepy head, did you get any sleep?"

"A little, I guess"

"Oh, I prepared breakfast for us if you like, pancakes, just how you like them."

"Yeah, thanks"

He is still overwhelmed by everything that happened.

"Hey, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine"

"Tyler you don't need to give me the cold shoulder, we're going through this together"

"..."

Silence, sometimes I hate it, it scares me, when other times silence is all I need.

"I know you are not in the mood to talk, so come and have breakfast with me."

"I'm not hungry"

"O-okay"

He never says no to food, especially not to my pancakes.

"Do you want to go to school today?

If you want you can stay here today, I'll cover for you."

"That won't be necessary"

"Tyler, please, you can't go to school in this state"

"I said I'm fine! Goddamnit Millie can you atop nagging for a second."

"Nagging? So now I am nagging?? You know what, I don't want to start a fight with you early in the morning, and if you call taking care of your nagging, then maybe you should start taking care of yourself."

"No hey tigress wait, I'm sorry, I-i didn't mean to-

Shit... I'm an idiot"

Why do I always keep disappointing everyone around me?

I almost killed my own father, I lashed out at the only person that really cares about me and now she is mad at me.

I think I should go to school to see her and apologize.

I took a quick shower to collect my thoughts, dressed up, a casual striped black and white shirt, black jeans with some white jordans, a silver necklace to enhance the look.

I drive to school, my tigress was nowhere to be found. Went to the bathroom maybe she was there, but no.

I wait in the hallway for her to get out of class, then I spot James coming out of the bathrooms.

"Tyler, hey, why you here? Don't you have class?"

"Waiting for someone, not that it is any of your business"

"Huh, well it is, cause I was just in the bathrooms with the someone you are waiting for"

I flinched, he hit a nerve and he knew it. I had enough of this.

I walk up to him, came closer, looked him deep in the eyes, my finger on his chest.

"What do you want huh? You want to take Millie from me, just like you took the other girl from me? Well, good luck because Millie is mine and she likes me."

"You said like, not love, so I still got a chance and I'm gonna take it. Sorry not sorry"

"You motherfu-... Look, I don't want to fight with you right now, I got other problems to worry about, so just stay the fuck away from Millie before I kill you.''
