One Shots

Tears on the Runway (Tyler Carter)

Naomi's POV

"Tyler, come on. The rain is really coming down now." I said standing next to him as he sat by Rachel's grave. "Just give me a few more minutes." He said. I nodded. I love him but Rachel has been gone for about two years and this is just a regular day where he was feeling defeated. I remember the last time we all hung out. I told them both that my boyfriend was abusing me. Tyler promised he would protect me and that he would never let down that promise. That was the day I was afraid to love again but I was in love with Tyler and he was with Rachel. My best friend. "Tyler, you are starting to scare me. I don't want to lose you." I said. "You won't. I promised to protect you and I will." He said kissing Rachel's tombstone. "Are you ready?" I asked. "No." he said. "Well, I will meet you back at home. I don't want to catch a cold." I said. He nodded. I began walking home in the downpour of rain. I heard someone behind me and just sped up. I was soon grabbed and pulled into an alley. I saw his face. My ex. I screamed for help and then everything went black.

Tyler's POV

My phone started ringing and I saw it was my mom. "Hello." I said. "Get to the hospital now. Something has happened to Naomi." She said. I dropped my phone. No, I can't lose her too. I ran as fast as I could to the hospital and I saw Michael our other best friend. "What happened?" I asked. "Her ex boyfriend found her. He beat her up to the point of killing her and he raped her." He said. I screamed and punched the wall. It is all my fault. I didn't protect her. I should've left with her. Naomi's mom came out. "How is she?" I asked. "They lost her during surgery but they brought her back. She is in her room now." She said. "Can I see her?" I asked. She nodded telling me her room. I ran down the hall. I love this girl and I need to apologize. I ran in and saw all these wires attached to her. I hugged her and kissed her cheek. She started screaming. "Naomi, it's me. Tyler." I said. She stopped screaming and there were tears rolling down her face. "Get out of here. I hate you." She said. My heart shattered. "Why? Please don't tell me to leave." I said. "You broke your promise." She said. I looked at her and cried. "I am so sorry but Naomi please, I can't lose you too." I said holding her hand. I saw scars littering her arms. I was shocked. I didn't even know this was happening. "This isn't the first time he has raped me Tyler. He has done it multiple times but you were distracted being upset. I understand why but you weren't there to protect me." She sobbed. I held her in my arms and let her cry. "You can stay for now but you need to leave when Michael leaves and don't come back." She said. I nodded not knowing what else to do. I went and got Michael and sat there knowing I was about to lose my best friend. That day was years ago. Naomi and I haven't spoken since due to her request. I heard she followed out her dreams of being a singer, which made me happy. I just wish I could find her and see what she looks like now. "You know that Nylo chick you are working with reminds me of Naomi." Michael said. "Well she is working with us on one of the Issues songs." I said. He nodded. Nylo doesn't remind me of Naomi at all.

Naomi's POV

I knew Tyler didn't recognize me that is why I agreed to work with him on his solo song and then on one of his band's songs. Both songs were about us. I remember the day I left town. I said goodbye to Tyler's family and Michael. Tyler stood back knowing I didn't want to be near him. I said to Michael that I wish people weren't afraid of love. I knew Tyler was in love with me but he never acted on his feelings. I wasn't mad at him anymore when I left I was just disappointed he didn't try to fight for our friendship. I sat in the studio as Tyler recorded the song and Michael was staring at me. "I know it's you." He said. "I don't know what you are talking about." I said trying to get him to ignore it. "Naomi, I've missed you." He said. I started to tear up. I walked over to the couch and hugged him crying. He held me and let me cry. "Please talk to him." He said. "I can't." I said. He nodded. We finished recording both songs after the rest of the boys showed up. Tyler insisted on having a barbeque at his house and Michael made me come. I sat on the patio and Scout, Tyler's dog sat right by me as if he was protecting me. I smiled and kissed his head. "Hey buddy, why do you get all the pretty girls?" Tyler asked him. I blushed. He still has that effect on me. "Hey, where's your bathroom?" I asked. "Second door on the right upstairs." He said. I nodded and headed inside. I walked up the stairs and used the bathroom. I was walking back down the hall and saw Tyler's room. I walked in and saw pictures of us everywhere. I held the one of us from senior prom in my hands crying. I heard the door open behind me and there was Tyler. "I am sorry. I just saw the door open." I said trying to whip away my tears. He looked at me with tears in his eyes. He walked over and took my face in his hands then kissed me. I was shocked. He rested his forehead against mine. "I am so sorry. I know I broke my promise but please I will protect you. I love you Naomi." He said. "Michael told you." I said. He nodded. I sighed. He held me in his arms. I looked up into his eyes and kissed him. I started singing Tears on the Runway part 2 and he sang with me. "I promise you won't have to chase me anymore." I said. "Good because I love you Naomi." He said. "I love you too Derek." I said ruffling his hair. "I hated that back then and I still do." He said. "I love you Tyler." I said. He laughed and kissed me.

I know that is a different song in the gif
