ValleyVille

She Came Back

Tylers POV
I did not sleep with him. I did wake up in his bed though. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I stretched my arm above my head. I looked over and Aiden turned away from me, still asleep. I looked down to see that Im in his shirt and shorts. I dont remember what happened and its confusing me. Aiden turned over and I looked at him. "Good morning" he says in his morning voice. "Morning" I say. "You ok?" He asks. "What happened?" I ask. "You were really tired after all the questions and compliments last night at the premiere. When we came back here, I let you change into my clothes and then you fell asleep on me, on the couch. So I brought you in here" he says. "Oh" I say. I laid back down. "Are you ok?" He asked. "Yeah" I smiled. I turned to look at him. "I feel... accomplished" I say. "Thats good. You deserve it" he says. "But what do I do now?" I ask. "You have so many options" he says. I stared at him. "I think I want to take a break" i say. "Really?" He asks. "I wanna focus on something else." I say. "And whats that?" He asks. I scooted closer to him. "A personal project" I say. He smiled at me. I leaned up and kissed him. He kissed back and put his hand on my shoulder. "Can I help with this project too?" He asks. "I hope you do" I say. He chuckled. "You know, you should really look into making your movie more public. Like, actually putting it out there. I can help you if you want" he says. "Yeah, but we can do that later" I say. "So I can be your manager?" He asks. "Sure. You managed to save me from my anxiety last night so Id say you're doing well" I say. He rolled his eyes with a smile. He pulled me into him. "Have you figured out how you feel?" He asks. He secured his arm around me and I did the same to him. "Yeah, Im gay" I say. He kissed my head and I smiled into him.

Zephyrs POV
"How the fuck do you plan a wedding!?" I yell. "Honey, calm down" Patch says. "Theres so much to do and I cant do it all!" I say. "Im here to help baby. Im not making you do it alone" Patch says. I groaned. "Here, Misty made you this giant poster board list so you can check off stuff as you go. Lets just pick something and start there" he says. I looked up at him. He put the poster board in front of me. "Just stick your hand out" he says. I stuck out my finger without looking. "Location" he names. I groaned again. He sat down with his laptop. "What were you thinking?" He asks. "I dont know babe" I say. "Something else is bothering you, isnt it?" He asks. I looked at him. "I need to call my mom" I say. "Oh" he says. "Shes been texting. Asking where I am and why Im not answering. Shes worried" I say. "Well, we can go see her if you want." He says. "She hates you" I say. "Shes never met me. Come on. We'll take the train. Be there and back within a day" he says. "You dont wanna spend days in a car with me again?" I ask. "I dont wanna leave our son for that long" he says. "Ok, we can go. Can you text Wyatt?" I ask. He nods. I texted my mom. "Im coming home" i said.

My leg bounced on the train. "Are you ok?" He asks putting his hand on my knee. "Ill be ok" I say taking his hand in mine. The train stopped in Raiders Valley and we got off. We got an uber to my moms house. I gripped Patchs hand as I rang the doorbell. She opened the door. "There you are. You scared me. You cant just disappear!" She says pushing me lightly. "Im sorry mom. A lots happened" I say. "I can see that" she says looking at Patch. We went inside. "So um, mom, this is my fiance Patch" I say. "Your what?" She asks. "My fiance" I repeated. "You left for months and came back ready for marriage?" She asks. "I also have a son" I say. She looked at me shocked. "Well.. I have him... again" i say. "Wait... this is the guy that knocked you up, isnt it? And you went back to him?" Mom asks. Patch tensed. "He's actually really nice mom. He's grown up since then. He's a good guy. Besides, I love my son and I wanted to be near him" I say. "This is not what I meant when i said you needed a family of your own" she says. "You disowned me. I dont know why you care" I say. "I disowned you because you were a slut who got pregnant because of this kid" she says pointing at Patch. I can tell Patch wants to say something. Probably curse her out, but he didnt. "I didnt come here so you could ridicule me and my fiance. You know Im alive, we're good now. If you need me, Ill be in ValleyVille. Bye" I say. I turned and pulled Patch with me. "That sucked" I say once we're outside. "Whyd you wanna see her?" He asks. "I dont know. Shes my mom. I still love her despite the fact that I hate her and she hates me" I say. "You have a good heart babe. Thanks for standing up for me" he says. "Of course" I say.

Aidens POV
"Tyler!" I say. "What?" He asks. "So, you know how you submitted your movie a few days ago?" I ask. "Yeah?" He says. "Well, a big company saw it and they're sending a representative to talk to you" I say. "Seriously!?" He says. "Yeah!" I say. "Yes!" He says.

We waited at the train station. I have a photo of the woman we're meeting. She looks nice. I hope shes nice. The train pulled up and a few people got off. "Is that her?" Tyler asked. I looked over. "Yeah, come on" I say. We walked up to her. "Hi, Ms. Wilson. Right?" I ask. She put her sunglasses on her head. "Please, call me Steel. You are Aiden I assume?" She asks. "Yes, and this is Tyler" I say. "Of course. Nice to meet you. Shall we find a more appropriate place to chat?" She asks. "Yes, of course. Come this way" I say. "You're a really good people pleaser" Tyler whispers. "Its my genetics. Have you met my family?" I say sarcastically. He held back his laughter.

We're at the diner. We talked about a lot of work stuff. Tylers gonna start getting paid for his movie sales and other things. "Can you guys tell me where the hotel here is?" She asks. "Yeah, we'll drive you there." I say. "Oh ok. Thank you" she says. "Of course" I say. As we walked out, Zephyr and Patch walked in. Tyler and I just passed by them but Steel stopped and stared at them walking in for a moment. She snapped out of it and came back to us. "Are you ok?" I ask. "Yeah. I just thought I saw something" she says.

Zephyrs POV
Im walking to work. Its a new day and Im actually starting to get somewhere with this whole wedding planning thing. I sat down behind the desk at the library. I honestly dont know whether to call this a library or a book store because its both. I opened my computer, put on my reading glasses, and started writing my own book because I still have to work on my own project. The door bell rang when someone came in. "Welcome" I said not looking. "Its actually you" she says. I looked over. Theres a tall blonde woman. "Do I know you?" I ask. "No. Not anymore" she says walking to the desk. I raised an eyebrow. She put her sunglasses on her head. She looks familiar. "Zephyr, its me. Steel" she says. My eyes widened. I stared at her with disbelief. "Nuh uh" I say. "Yeah, I know. Long time no see. Right sis?" She asks. I took off my glasses and threw them at my keyboard. "Oh my god" I say. I stood up and walked around the desk. I stopped and got a good look at her. "Theres no way my dwarf sister turned into this tall glass of water" I say. "Seriously?" She asks. "I thought Id never see you again" I say hugging her. She hugged back. "Me too" she says. "How have you been? What happened to you? I have so many questions" I say. "Im actually really good. After mom kicked me out, I snuck on a train and ended up in Dark City. There I was put in the foster system. I jumped from home to home until I was eighteen. I got accepted at Harvard. From there I got a job at a television company and became a producer." She says. "Wow, you climbed fast" I say. "Yeah. How have you been?" She asks. "Not as busy as you" I laughed. "I uh, I got really depressed after you left. Mom got a lot more strict with me. I ended up being a little rebellious in college and I... got knocked up. Mom disowned me after that and I was alone for several years. I became a writer though. Pouring my feelings into the trauma of my character really does the trick. Recently though, the father of my child found me and brought me to meet him and now Im here. Im living with him and my son and Im engaged to him" I say. She stared at me like I told her I survived 9-11. She looks so concerned. "Im so sorry" she says. "Im fine. Really. Im happy. I love my fiance and I love my son. Im doing good now" I say. "Im glad to hear that at least" she says. "Do you wanna catch up more later?" I ask. "Yes, of course" she says. "Ill give you my number" I say. She smiled.
