Saving Kate

Volunteering

Man what time is it?

As I start to wake up I flutter my eyes and stretch. Um that's weird. Why do I feel a persons back leaning towards my back.

Oh god. Memories are returning. Am I really at Tyler Hayes's house? I slowly start to turn around mentally preparing myself for what I might see.

When I fully turn around I realize nothing could've prepared me for what lies before my eyes.

I slightly scream and kick him off the bed trying to cover my eyes.

Tyler Hayes was sleeping right by me. Naked.

He gets up and and whispers,"Shh! You're not supposed to be here!"

"And you're not supposed to be in the bed or naked!"

He looks down realizing what I just said. "Oh I must've been half asleep. Sorry it's a habit, I don't wear clothes to sleep."

"Well here's an idea put some on! I mean it's not like there's much to see or anything.", I smirk trying to lessen the awkwardness that has settled upon this conversation.

"Oh please you haven't even looked.", he said rolling his eyes.

"Well I would've but what's point if I didn't bring my magnifying glass."

He gives me a cold stare and I just smile in amusement.

Once he gets fully dressed he sits back on the bed and I start to feel an unbearable headache.

He must've noticed my finger on my temple trying to soothe the pain, because he left but a minute later came back with Advil and water.

"Thanks." I say while taking the pills and drinking the water.

"You know you still haven't explained why you came in the bed with me last night.", I say swallowing the last pill.

"I don't know if you noticed but I don't have a carpeted floor."

I look down and see a wooden floor, one pillow, and two blankets.

I turn to look at him and I start to take in his appearance. He has baggy eyes and messy hair, but still manages to look like a goddess.

Kate focus.

Damn, he really looks like he didn't sleep well.

"I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have gotten drunk and make you take care of me. I know you didn't sign up to be my babysitter."

He looks at me for awhile then decides to say,"You're right I didn't sign up to babysit you."

Ugh I feel really bad.

"I volunteered."

I turn back to look at him and I see a smirk on his face.

"What do you mean?", I say confused on what he's saying.

"When you were wasted and passed out on Zach's steps all the guys there were debating on who was going to wake you up and bring you home. I volunteered."

I just kinda stutter taken back by what he did. "W-why?"

He just smiles and says,"To get you in bed it worked didn't it?"

Now there's the Tyler Hayes I know.

"Well I should really get home before Sydney comes over looking for me."

He looks...disappointed? That's weird. He's probably just sad we didn't bang.

"Okay well let me walk you out."

As we start walking to the front door we hear the fridge open.

"Crap that's my Dad! Hide I'll try to distract him."

As I crouch behind the couch, I hear Tyler walking to the kitchen.

"Hey dad."

"Hey Tyler, how was the party last night?"

Shit.

"What?", ask Tyler seeming shocked and nervous at the same time.

"Son, I'm 40 not an idiot."

After a while Tyler finally decides to respond.

"Um it went....well."

"Did you bring a girl home?"

I practically choke on my saliva when he asked that.

Man, I'm really weird.

"No of course not, I know the rule. If I bring a girl home my car gets taken."

"Exactly."

Wait, he brought me home even though he could get grounded from his car.

Even I know I'm not worth it. He has an Audi. I would punch my grandmaw for an Audi. Not really but probably.

When I hear a door close I look up to see his dad out of the kitchen.

"Go now before he comes back."

Before I step out of his door I say,"Thank you again."

He just smiles and says,"Anytime Kate."

I smile once more before walking out the door.

Speaking of walking I just realized something. I have to walk home.

Fuck.

After 15 minutes of walking I finally made it home having sweat stains under my arms and boobs.

I really need to work out.

As I walk in the door, I see my dad just sitting there watching tv.

"Hey honey.", he says not even looking at my direction.

"Hey dad. I'm going to my room."

He just grunts which is his way of saying,"whatever the baseball games on."

As I get into my room I see a very confused sydney at my bed.

"Care to explain?"she ask while holding out her phone.

Wow now I remembered why I hate this kid.
