I open the door, it already being unlocked and look around the two conjoined rooms. The living room light is on, the tv is on and Jim is sat by the couch. This is weird. 

"Tyler? Are you home?" I call out. 

Tyler never leaves the door unlocked, especially now. There's no answer from him so I close and lock the door behind me, then slowly walk to the stairs. 

"Love?" I yell again. 

What the fuck. I walk up the stairs and finally notice the hall light is on. Even if Tyler is a messy guy, he never leaves lights on. And especially when he leaves the apartment, he knows how low we are on money.

The toilet flushes, and I quickly hide behind the stair wall, right in front of the bathroom. The sink turns on and a second later, the door is being opened. One, two, three footsteps make their way towards me before I jump out and punch whoever it is in the face. 

"What the fuck!" They yell. 

"Jordan?!" I say, lowering my hands.

"Why the fuck did you just punch me?!" He laughs. 

"What the fuck are you doing in my house? Where's Tyler?" 

"I ran into him at a store-" 

"He's at the store?" I ask, cutting him off. 

"Yes, he said he's buying you a wedding gift." He said, a little bit of attitude behind his voice. 

"Oh, well why are you here without him?" 

"Well your bitch ass didn't tell me that you two got married, so I heard it from him. He told to come here and talk to you about it, then he'd come here after he buys whatever it is he's getting." He says. 

"Shit, okay. Well I'm sorry for hitting you, I wasn't expecting anyone to be here. Did you not hear me yelling?" I ask. 

He gives me a confused look and shakes his head. "No, I had no idea you were here." 

"Hm. Damn, okay. Here, I'll get an ice pack." 

I turn around and walk down the stairs with him following me. "Thank you, sorry for not telling you I'm here." 

"It's okay, just like, let me know next time so I don't hit you again." I laugh. 

"Noted." He says. 

I go into the kitchen as he sits at the bar, and I open the freezer. Pulling out an ice pack and a red bull, I hand them both to him. 

"Also I'm sorry for not telling you Tyler and I got married, we didn't have a wedding so it's not like you missed anything." I shrug. 

"Meh, it's okay. Tyler told me about it all, it's no biggie. Why did you decide no wedding?" He asks, sipping the drink. 

"We just wanted to be married, really. I didn't have anyone to invite to the wedding besides you and he only has a few people so it'd be a very small wedding and it kinda created this wedge between us for a little, so we just decided to get married at the town hall." 

"I get that, are you guys gonna have like, a party or something? I'd love to go if you are." He smiles. 

"I don't think we were planning on throwing one, but I'd have to talk to Tyler about it." 

"Do you have to run everything by Tyler?" 

"What?" I laugh. 

"I mean, you always say you have to run things by him, why?"
