With Him

Chapter Sixteen

Tyler's P.O.V

I'm headed home from James house, he had made me some Mac n cheese and we watched Shark Tale, this time I didn't fall asleep.

I can't believe I did that, I pull into the driveway and go into the house and Cooper launches at me. "Coop no" Chris says grabbing his collar before he can tackle me again.

"I'm sorry Tyler, he just really really likes you" he pulls him back. "It's fine" I say and head to the stairs walking past Addison, Brooklyn, Oscar, Finn, and Felix all whispering on the couches in the living room.

I throw my bag down on the floor by me bed and go to lay down but Vivian stops me, "Do you wanna go practice?" She whispers from her bed.

"Um yeah I guess" I follow her to the music room through the bathroom and stop once I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. "Wow the pink did not last long at all" I run my fingers through the faded hair, the light pink in my bangs is completely gone and I'm left with a grey kind of color and the darker pink has faded to a a light color.

"I'm gonna have to dye it before Friday" I sigh, "Could I help" Vivian asks a little excited. "Yeah we can do it Thursday so it'll be fresh" I say and she nods.

"Okay so do you know the words?" she asks taking a seat at the piano, "No but I can pull up the lyrics on my phone for now and I'll listen to it a whole bunch before Friday, we'll be good" I say holding up my phone.

"Okay and take no offense to this but you're gonna have to dress a little classy, I'm wearing a black flowy dress. And I can do your hair and makeup" oh this involves a lot more than what I was expecting.

"Vivian I don't know if I can get a dress in time" "Vivi" she whispers, "What?" "Vivi. You always call me Vivian it makes me feel like I'm an old lady, or that I'm in trouble so please call me Vivi".

"I dont-" she cuts me off, "I know that you don't understand nicknames or something like that but I don't like Vivian" I nod, I can try.

"But you work at a boutique couldn't you make something", I sigh "I'll see what I can do" this is going to be a stressful week.

Could you bring your headphones tomorrow? -Me

I'm not sure when James gets off but hopefully soon, I mean it is nine. I'm gonna have to listen to this song a lot, Vivian- no Vivi played the actual song for me and it's a beautiful song it has a vocal range of D3 to A4.

It's fun, hanging out with Vivi, she has a very fun personality something I'm definitely not used to but it's fun I guess.

Yeah definitely, I bring them everyday so if you ever need them just let me know -James

I'm a little nervous for Friday, Vivi said that usually a lot of people come to this thing. I'm going to have to perform in front of all of them.

I'm waiting in the parking lot for James to pull up, I listened to the song the whole way here and hummed along to it. I was smart today and wore a jacket so I won't have to steal James, even though I do really like wearing it.

It's already 8:20 and he's still not here, ugh where is he. I turn my head to look at the entrance of the parking lot and see the red chevy I've been waiting for.

He parks next to me and I get out of my car grabbing my stuff and go over to his passenger side and hop in. "Anything exciting happening in any of your classes today?" he asks as I close the door, "Not really, I have a lab in science but Felix is my partner so I'm not sure if it's gonna go well or not" I shrug.
