KADE POV
i wake up feeling refreshed. I look outside to see its morning.
Did I sleep through the night? I don't usually?
Then it hits me...
Oh shit.I remember him yelling at me and then all i could think about was...
He comforted me...
Fuck i should really apologize to Tyler.
I check my phone to see its past 9am
Usually someone comes to get me for breakfast by now.
I look around the room and finally take notice that nobody is in here
I get out of bed and make my way downstairs, wondering where everyone is. In the kitchen there's hushed whispers until the last stair creaks
Damn it
I head towards the kitchen and everyone stops and stares at me looking concerned.
I understand why Tyler is looking at me like that
But the rest of them?
I expected Tyler to be the first to cut through the silence but its Cam who does so
"Good morning Kade"
The simple gesture made me want to smile but I push it down when I remember who's talking to me. The only thing I can do is shyly look away from the table. My eyes dark to the floor and my fingers start to itch with anxiety. I can't look at them without feeling embarrassed.
From seeing them in the positions that I still can't get out of my head
And i'm pretty sure i've pieced together why everyone might be looking at me like thatI can feel him staring at me waiting on an answer but all i can do is mumble a
"M-morning"
Under my breath. I'm not sure if they heard it but i don't doubt they did hear it considering the kitchen is still deadly quiet.I shuffle back and forth with my head down like a kid that knows they're in trouble
"Can I talk t-to you T-Tyler?"
Tyler stands up quickly
"Of course kiddo. Follow me to my office"
I tense up at the thought of his office but still follow me.
"After you"
He says while opening the door for me to walk in. I hesitate but i walk into his officeBut i dont sit
He makes his way inside and doesn't shut his door, which I silently thank him for.
He tries to start the conversation but I interrupted
"Im really sorry about yesterday"
There was a pause followed by a sigh
"Its okay kid. You couldn't control how you reacted. I shouldn't have even yelled at you in the first place.
I should be the one apologizing"
My anxiety comes to a halt.
Him? Apologize? Why?
"What for?" I timidly ask
Even though i'm still standing, he takes a seat. Making him look a lot smaller than he is.
"I shouldn't have yelled at you at all. I'm usually this calm person but-
Have I ever told you about my sister?"
He asks and my brain fizzles with a familiar emotion.
ConfusionWhat does she have to do with this?
