With Him

Chapter Thirty

Tyler's P.O.V

Chewy, Cooper, Fraya and I are all on the couch watching The Office like we have been for the past however many hours.

The door opens and Cooper stands up and looks over the back of the couch, "Hey Coop, where's Tyler?" Addison asks in a voice you'd use to talk to a dog.

I bring my arm up so it's over the back of the couch and they can see me, "Oh, hey Tyler" she says noticing me.

I sit up and look back at them, "So what'd you do today?" Finn asks throwing his bag down in the corner.

"Made a cake, took Cooper on a walk, then we laid here watching The Office." I say picking up Chewys ball as I stand up.

"You made this cake?" Felix asks with a mouthful of it, I nod and Greyson comes over and takes Chewy from me.

"What are you doing?" I ask trying to take him back, he holds him up where I can't reach. "No, I never get to see him anymore let me see him." I put my arms down and watch him.

He opens up the ball and takes him out handing me the ball. "Chewy misses his Uncle Greyson, doesn't he? He does, yes he does." he says holding him up like a baby.

"Careful" I try and reach for him again, "I just wanna squish his little face, he's so cute!" Greyson holds him up higher.

"Don't worry I'm not gonna drop him." he laughs a little seeing my scarred face. He brings him down and puts him in my arms, "Sorry for making you nervous, I just never get to see this little fuzzy butt." he says scratching Chewys head.

Addison and Finn went upstairs, I go and sit at the island petting Chewy in my lap as Greyson goes and grabs a plate to join Felix in the eating.

"Tyler, this is so fucking good" Felix says shoving more in his mouth. "Thanks." I pull my phone out of my pocket and put it on the counter.

"So have we gone back to our old ways?" Greyson asks cutting a slice, "No I wasn't anxious or stressed or anything. Just bored and saw that we had to stuff." I scratch behind Chewys ears right where he loves it.

"Well I'm glad you did, this is delicious." now he sounds like Felix. Speaking of Felix he's basically drooling with every bite, "I'm gonna need you to bake more often, Chris is a good baker don't get me wrong. But I fuck with this cake." I can't help but let out a little giggle.

My phone vibrates and I look, a text from James.

I'm on my way to your house, I'll be there in about five minutes. -James

Okay -Me

I go put Chewy in his ball and carry him upstairs, I grab my go-out bag and go back downstairs, Chewy in my arms.

I go downstairs and to the medical drawer and grab my insulin and stuff putting them in my bag.

"Okay, James is coming to pick me up." I tell Greyson as I go to the door. "Okay, be careful." he says with a mouthful of cake.

I go outside and stand in the driveway behind Felix's Jeep. James pulls up and I go and get in, "You didn't have to wait out here you know, I could have come in and got you." he says as I buckle up.

"I was just really excited to see you." I say and hold Chewy tight. "Chewys coming along I hope that's okay, I didn't ask." I look over at him, "Yeah he's fine." he smiles.

"So two things, the elementary and middle schools don't have school Friday that's when their break starts. And my parents don't make us go to our last day of school before any sort of break, so their last day was today. And my grandparents convinced my parents to let them stay with them for a few days. So you don't get to meet them yet." he says as we back out.
