My Kidnapper Loved me

~11/2/10~

I woke up the next morning alone in bed, dreading what the day has in store, I sighed, finally deciding that it was now or never. I got out of bed going to the kitchen for some coffee, as I walked into the kitchen I saw Tyler standing by the coffee pot sipping a warm cup. I walked over grabbing a mug, I went to kiss Tyler on the cheek only to have him move away, I looked down while pouring my coffee.

"So what? Now you don't want anything to do with me?"

He shook his head at me, I felt my heart break a little.

"I don't know if I can trust you, I mean you told me you were a virgin, come to find out you were raped. You acted like you actually wanted to go home to your family come to find out you were abused, I honestly don't know how I can trust you."

I nodded my head looking at him for a second.

"You know what I didn't tell you I was raped because no guy wants a girl with that kind of damage. Somewhere in a guys fucked up mind it says 'oh she has problems with being sexual lets not'. With the whole I was abused thing I was threatened to keep that a secret, I was afraid to bring that up and that's another red flag for guys 'oh no she has family issues and was abused let's not'. So you know what? I did what I thought I had to, I'm sorry if it hurt you but what you told my parents hurt me. We both said things but yours is way worse than mine so you owe me a lot of apologizing, especially since I got you out of prison. We both know that if my parent's get out we're fucked so lets get over this shit and move on with our lives. I love you and I'm here that's all that should matter unless you wanna push me away some more?"

He set his mug on the counter pulling me into a tight hug.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have acted the way I did, I'm sorry."

I nodded my head accepting his apology.

"What do you say to going out today? You're no longer missing to the world, why don't we go do something my treat?"

I sighed looking down, shaking my head, I don't want him to think that he has to spend money on me, I don't want his money, I just want his love.

"Ty, I don't want you to spend your money on me, what do you say we go job hunting for me and then we come back and watch movies all day?"

Tyler shook his head, and thought for a second on a way around me not letting him do anything for me.

"Why don't we go out job hunting for you, I buy us lunch, then on our way back home we stop at the store to restock the kitchen. We can come home, putting everything away and spending the rest of the night watching movies, how does that sound?"

I finally agreed to his plan, and we got ready, taking quick showers and changing from our night clothes. I left the house for the first time in almost a month, I was so excited I couldn't wait to get out of the house and see the real world. The first thing Tyler and I did was go around handing in my application's to restaurants and grocery stores that I could work in to help him pay the bills and food even though he doesn't want me to, I'm still gonna help him. I hope I get a job as a waitress, it's something that I'm good at, I'm kinda excited for it, Tyler insisted on taking me to lunch at the Olive Garden. However while we were there I saw one of my old friends Layla from school, believe it or not she was with Daniel, they stood next to each other and I felt awkward and nervous as she started asking questions.

"Elena, is that you? Who's the hottie?"

The funny thing is she knew exactly who he was, back in freshman year Layla and Tyler had a bit of a relationship. It ended in a really bad way, she was heart broken and he for some odd reason was just fine. Since Layla and I were friends at the time she told me everything about their relationship, some things were a little too much but I dealt with it for her. Daniel nudged her shoulder giving her a "What the fuck?" look as I laughed a little and answer her question.

"Layla you can't say stuff like that it makes guys' heads grow bigger than they already are, but this is my boyfriend Tyler."

Her eyes damn near popped out of her head like she couldn't believe the words that just came out of my mouth. Daniel smirked, shaking his head, and the next thing Layla said made me kinda mad but I let it slide and just laughed it off.

"So what you dropped school for him? I wish."

I shook my head at her.

"No I got kicked out of school, I had way too many absences, but it's fine I'm getting a job. Since my parents aren't around I'm living with Tyler, I'm really happy with the way my life is going."

This time she was the one to laugh, while Daniel let out a chuckle before finally putting in his two cents.

"Dumb bitch, I can see you're not going anywhere, especially if you don't finish high school. You're not getting that diploma, you're gonna end up a dead beat like your little boyfriend over there."

He nodded towards Tyler and I shook my head before standing up.

"You know what, Tyler may not be rich but he makes enough to support us, I don't have to get a job, I want a job. Believe it or not Tyler is an amazing person, he's kind, and caring he got me out of an unsafe house. If I'm being honest he saved my life so next time you slander someone you better get your facts straight, I love Tyler and I always will."

He smirked at me while Layla just had her jaw dropped to the floor, Tyler had a smile on his face, I looked at him and smiled.

"I remember when you were in love with me, god that was a good night."

I took in a deep shaky breath as Tyler put to and to together, he went to stand up but I stopped that.

"I think it's time for you to go, before Tyler gets up and does something he'll regret."

They walked away, and Tyler looked at me, I smirked at him letting him know that it was okay before I looked back at my food.

"Tyler Moore not a word, or so help me god I will not kiss you for a week."

He let out a small chuckle, we finished our lunch in peace once we left Olive Garden we headed to the grocery store so our pantry and refrigerator wouldn't look so bare any more. We got all of our necessities, however we had so much to take into the house that by the time we were done our arms hurt and we were so ready for our movie night. We got changed into our comfy clothes and I started the move A time to kill with Matthew Mcconaughey. Tyler and I cuddled up on the couch together till midway through the movie Tyler and I were both yawning tired, we decided to just go to bed and finish the movie some other night. I stood from the couch and Tyler picked me up bridal style carrying me into our room, he gently laid me down on the bed and covered me in the soft warm covers. He slid in beside me wrapping his arms around me pulling me into his warm shirtless chest kissing my neck.

"Goodnight baby, I love you."

He whispered in my ear I smiled to myself before letting him hear my voice.

"I love you too Ty, I'm sorry about Layla and Daniel, they had no right to say anything about you, especially since they don't know you like I do. I'm sorry you had to meet Daniel, that was something I never expected or wanted to happen, I love you so much."

I fell asleep not hearing Tyler's response.
