A summer in New Jersey (Wedler) Wednesday X Tyler

We Meet Again

Wednesday's POV

✨Enid✨
Wednesday☠️: Enid call me
✨Enid✨: Wednesday you'll be fine you'll live.
Wednesday☠️: Enid, you're talking about the person who nearly killed both of us.
✨Enid✨: I can't call I'm at the movies
Wednesday☠️: wtf then why is your phone on?

I got no response after that. So I had to deal with Tyler by myself. We made it to the living room. I guess they moved when Pugsley got me. I had my arms crossed as I walked in behind Pugsley with my usual sour face and when I spotted Tyler, I glared at him.

"Enid left to watch a movie," I said "Who still goes to the movies anymore?" asked Pugsley "Apparently Enid," I said dryly. I tried not to acknowledge Tyler but that ended up being impossible when he decided to come to sit next to me on the couch. I was trying to mind my own business on my phone. Tyler had other ideas.

Tyler grabbed my phone out of my hand. I was scrolling through an article I saw on Instagram. "Tyler-" I was interrupted "How long are you planning on ignoring me, Wednesday?" he asked, I huffed "Until I kill you," I said in a serious tone. He sighed "I'm sorry-" "It's not going to fix anything" "Wens" "Don't call me that." "Wednesday." "Tyler. What are you doing here anyway?" I asked him. "Last night my dad came in and told me that we were moving to New Jersey. He said we needed to get out of Jericho to escape everything that happened: Thornhill, Nevermore...You." he said sadly.

My phone buzzed in his hand. He looked to see who it was and furrowed his brows. "What the fuck is this?" he showed me my lock screen.

👹Nevermore squad😈
Ajax🤡: some bird just shit on Xavier
Xavier👹: EW IT JUST GOT IN MY MOUTH 🤮
Bianca🧜: that bird just did some dirty work for me
Xavier👹: Wtf😡
Ajax🤡: LMFAOOOOO

I read the texts that were popping up on my screen. "Ignore them," I told Tyler and looked away from him to avoid eye contact. That's also the moment Enid decided she was going to call me. How convenient. "Are you going to answer that?" Tyler asked, I just glared at him "No."

"Look did I do something?" He asked. Is this dumbass actually joking? No way in hell did he just ask me that. I looked at him calmly and took a deep breath to keep my composure. "Tyler," I said, he just stared at me "I hope that you did not just ask me "what did I do?" Because I'm 99.999% sure you are a fucking Hyde and didn't bother to tell me as I spent a whole semester looking for the damn Hyde. I had to find out through a vision I had after I kissed you." I told him calmly.

"Don't tell me you regret that kiss." He told me. "No, I don't. If I never kissed you, then I would have never learned who the real Hyde was and Xavier would still be in jail." I stood up and tried to walk away but Tyler grabbed my hand and turned me around. "What, you like Xavier now?" He questioned "No, Tyler, I don't like Xavier. I'm only speaking to him again because after I put him in jail, he still wanted to be my friend." Tyler looked at me sadly "Wednesday, it wasn't my fault. None of it was. It was all Laurel Gates. She was the one who manipulated me and told me what to do. I had no control." He paused.

"Why can't you see that I had to do her bidding whether I liked it or not? Wednesday, Laurel is dead she can't control me now. Please give me another chance." He pleads. "I didn't want to do it, none of it." He lets my hand go. I guess he assumed I was going to leave. Shockingly I stayed put.

"It took me so long to trust you, only for it to be crushed. I don't think I can build trust in you again." That's when I decided to leave and go out back. Of course, Tyler had to follow me as I walked through the graveyard. I'm not sure how I feel about Tyler. I want to hate him for being the Hyde, but I can tell I still have feelings for him. I don't want to give him the satisfaction. I can tell Tyler still has feelings for me since he's trying to talk to me after our little torture session in Xavier's studio.

I turn to Tyler, which caught him off guard "Why are you talking to me?" I asked. "Uh...I almost killed you." He shrugged "I don't care. I know you still like me deep down. If you didn't, you would have kicked me out by now....or probably used that steam-powered guillotine." I sighed "I'm not sure why I am talking to you. Frankly, I hate myself for it." Tyler picked up my hands and held them. I just watch him then I looked up at him. "Then let's start over. Clean the slate. I don't want you hating me forever because I ended up manipulated by Laurel and did things I never wanted to do."

I had no idea what to say to that. My options were to take it or leave it. If I took it, there's a possibility that Tyler and I could be together, happy. If I leave it, then it's a heave weighted grudge left on both of our shoulders and endless hate. It would be torture and not the good kind. I took a deep breath as I thought this through. Another thing I have to think about is: what would my friends think. Especially Enid. She hates Tyler with a passion and could never really trust him since the beginning. This isn't her life and if I choose to take it, she'll have to learn to deal with it.

I nodded. Tyler raised an eyebrow. "Wait are you agreeing with me?" "Tyler if I were you, I wouldn't ruin the moment. I can just say no, you're lucky I didn't shoot you with an arrow." Tyler now had a grin on his face "I am going to make you remember why you liked me in the first place." I sighed.

"What time is it?" I asked Tyler. "Uh..." he checked his phone "12:53, why?" I go back inside and he follows me. "This is my writing time," I said dryly. "Oh." He said.
