Tales of the Wasteland

Honey part 10

Tyler and Miles drag me back to my room after gave Hayden a beating. They sit me down on the bed and stand over me like I'm a prisoner in integration. They look at each other with this kind of smug smile to say 'what are we going to do with you?'
I cross my arms on my lap. Am I still in those bloody clothes off that boy back at the camp.
"Honey..." Tyler almost laughs crossing his arms, his legs spaced apart "why did you do it?" He and Miles aren't mad that I did it, they find it very amusing actually.
"Because he was being an idiot. He was stoned. Plus he started it." I sound like a child trying to explain there actions.
"What did he do?" Tyler questions.
"He tried to kiss me."
They start to laugh.
"When I slapped him he went all crazy and pushed me against the wall."
There laughter fades and there expression changes.

"He pushed you?" Tyler repeats.
I nod.
"That's it! This bastards going to pay!"
"Ugh. Tyler can you not kill him please? I hate him too but the last thing we need is another persons blood on our hands." I say wiping my face laying back on the bed. Tyler stops and they just stare at me for a while.

"What were you doing in the hallway anyway?" Tyler wonders in a protective tone.
"I was wanting to ask" I quickly shut myself up realising what I was about to blurt out. I sit up in the middle of the bed (which is totally uncomfortable) with my legs crossed. There faces are scrunched up waiting patiently for me to finish. I guess now is the best time to talk to Miles, to just get it over and done with. "I actually wanted to talk to Miles." I look at him as I admit with my heart sinking in fear.

"About what?" Miles frowns crossing his arms. I reckon he is thinking I'm going to scold him again.
"If you wouldn't mind Tyler..." I say at him with my shoulders up. He has his arms around his back.
"Oh right." He delays and then slowly wonders out of the room, Miles and I watch him in silence waiting for him to shut the door. When the lock clicks I sigh.

"What do you want to talk about Honey? I already said I will just think of it as nothing." He still has his arms crossed standing before me.

"Here goes nothing." I sigh to myself. He frowns at me. I tap the bed gesturing him to sit down on the bed with me still frowning at me. "Okay. Well that's what I wanted to talk to you about."
"Honey!" He sighs in anger "we talked about this-"
"No! Just be quite for a second and let me talk" He is quite "okay well I know I have been giving you mixed messages and I know I said it was nothing.... But-" I look down in abashment "I-I" oh god I'm stuttering! Just spit it out "Miles. I think I love you." My face is flushing and I look down being prepared to be rejected.

Miles grips my hand and holds it tightly. I look up at him with sad eyes. "You don't know how happy I am to finally hear that." I look up smiling. Did he really just say that? He nods. I feel a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders, my jealousy that I had against Sabina and Miles fades. I have been so stupid.
"What does that mean now? Are we together?" I ask a little embarrassed .
He shrugs "yeah I guess. But we need to keep it a secret from Sabina."

I was about to ask why when Tyler opens the door interrupting. "Miles you didn't have any drugs did you?"
I look at me he shakes his head.
"Why?"
"Than I'm beat. Where did Hayden get his? I don't have any." He looks at me "I'm kicking the habit."
"What are you trying to say Tyler?"
"Well where who did he get it off then?"
