Him~ a Tyler Galpin story

Phsyco

I feel something heavy on my side. My eyes fly open and I see and... Arm? Huh. I then trace the arm to it's owner and see Tyler laying there asleep. His arms are around my waist, and I am pulled tight against his chest. Our legs are tangled, and only now do I realise what an akward position we are in. I try to move, but his grip on me only tightens. I go to move again, but this time a smile graces his face. I glare at his closed eyes. He's only pretending to be asleep. I wriggle out of his grasp, and pick up a pillow and hit him on the head with it.

" Tyler Galpin!! You trcikster, you- you- you-" I can't come up with a word that fits so I suffice with hitting him again with the pillow. His grin only widens. He stands and makes his way twords me before grabbing me and slinging me over his shoulder, as if I way nothing.

" Put me down!" I yell giggling, trying to get out of his grasp.

" Only if you insist." At this he drops me.

The air goes out of my lungs as I fall to the ground, or what I thought was the ground. My scream is stuck in my throat and I find myself chocking on air when I land on the couch. I am now shaking, and my breath comes in short intakes of air. Tyler now looks concerned, and sits down beside me.

" Are you okay?" He asks.

"Yes- I just thought for- for a second that you-" I stumble over my words, and can't finish the sentence.

" You honestly thought I was going to drop you on the floor." He says concern and hurt in his eyes.

" Sorry, it's just... I'm not used to this whole friend thing. Usually people just, sort of give up on me. And when they do, they do a whole lot more then dropping me on the floor." I say quietness taking over my voice.

Tyler reaches out and grasps my hands, and I can't stop, but shiver at the jotl that goes through me when he does.

" I promise that I will never hurt you. No matter what happens." He says looking deeply into my eyes. I feel my eyes sting at the sincerity in his voice.

" I- Thank's Ty." I say. He engulfs me in a hug, and I lightly sob into his shoulder. I now realise just how much I cry. After a few moments I pull away, my breath still a little shakey.

" Lets go into town to get something to eat, eh?" He says standing.

" But I thought-"

" My dad said no? He did,but I'm not a little kid, not come on, Shadow." Just as we head for the door, a voice stops us.

" Thought you two were going to sneak out without me, didn't you? Well last I checked my car is still in the shop and I need to go shopping. Hope I'm not ruining the date." Says valera from the top of the stairs as she heads down. I blush at the mention of this being a date.

" Well then come on, Vale, I at least want to leave before dad gets home." Tyler says as we make our journey to the door complete. As we turn to head out, he winks at me. I roll my eyes and hop in the truck, resting my head on Tylers shoulder as he drives.

" And vale, " He says as we pull out of the driveway, " Quit making assumptions." He says.

" Sheesh. Sorry, it's just you two act like a couple so I thought... well. Most of the time when boys and girls hang out together, they like each other." she says glancing at me, " And plus you two seem oddly close."

" Well, we do like each other, but as friends. Hes really the only friend I have.... Most people forget about me." I say.

" Oh." Is all Valera says. The rest of the drive is quiet. And when we reach the town, everyone stares.

" What are they starting at us?" I ask as I hop, and fall out of the truck. I land hard on my butt. I stand up, rubbing my shoulder that also hit the icy pavement.

" I don't know." Tyler says, and as we walk I can feel people stare at me. The only time people notice me is when they are A: Being mean or B: They think I did something, which is more rare. I try to ignore the stares, but it's nerving me out, and almost as If Tyler can sense this, he grabs my hand. I walk down the street, and almost as we enter the shop, someone grabs me and punches me in the jaw.

" What the hell!" I shout, letting go of Tylers hand and charging at the man.

" Monster!" He spits on me. I decide to prove him right as a crowd forms.

" Why would you say that?" I ask in a phsycodily sweet voice.

" Playing innocent are we? Well we have a witness that says you killed that boy!" The man shouts at me. The other people start shouting accusations.

" What boy?"

" The one that goes to your school. Rowan." The man spits.

" Found him last night." He says

" Well that's impossible that she killed him," Says tyler stepping up beside me, " I was at my house with her all night." He says.

Confussion and disblife coat some peoples faces. Just then the sheriff steps into the crowd.

" You don't want to do this son, stand up for a monster like her." He says. Tyler only grabs my hand in response, and shoves the people aside as we enter Weathervane.

" They think I killed someone?!" I shout as soon as we get inside, furious.

" Half the time they don't even notice me, but now suddenly theirs a murder and someone thinks it is me! How dare those people. Those self righteos pigs! Idiot lying foul mouthed bastards!" I shout angrily pacing back and forth. Tyler and Vale watch me.

I sit down and glare at the people, and search each and every ones mind till I found the man that accused me. I enter his mind, and do what only a monster and phyco can do in times like these, I fill it with pain and demons.
