7:30 AM

The sound of frantic knocking came from my hotel door, I groaned in displeasure as I lifted my head to look at the alarm clock on my bedside table. 7:32 AM. 'My alarm isn't for another 30 minutes' I thought to myself. I got up from my bed and stood still for a second, as I was not fully awake yet when I heard the knocking again, this time louder. "Jesus Christ, give me a second." I say as I walk over to the door.

I opened the door to see Boone and Tyler standing there with their arms crossed over their chests, leaning on the railing behind them. "It's 7:30 in the damn morning, we aren't supposed to be downstairs til' 9." Boone's mouth pressed into a straight line but Tyler felt the need to comment on my attitude.

"Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, but if you must know, there is a perfect tornado forming about 30 minutes from here, and we need to leave now or else we won't get to shoot off rockets." He said while smiling a little bit, knowing my favorite part of chasing is the rockets. I have that in common with Boone. I opened my mouth to protest having no breakfast when Boone cut me off.

"Already have it, you got 5 minutes to get down to the truck or we're leaving you, you can eat in the truck" My eyes widened and I ran to grab my clothes and ran to the bathroom to get changed, not even worrying about closing the front door.

Here's the thing about Tyler, he's a playboy but he's my best friend. I met him when I went to visit my brother Javier, he told me that he was a jerk and was one of those youtubers that seem awesome on camera but are actually self-centered, greedy, and only care about themselves. He came up to me while I was observing a tornado to see if it was a good one to chase and we immediately clicked. He was one of the sweetest people I had ever met and we both were obsessed with tornadoes. After our conversation, he invited me on a chase and of course I accepted. He walked away and that's when I really observed him. He was a good looking guy and we got along, but the more we hung out I realized that he was one of the best people in my life. How could I ruin that by admitting my stupid feelings for him. I mean how could someone like him, like someone like me.

Tyler's POV

I watched as she ran around her room frantically finding clothes then slamming the bathroom door. I thought about going into her room to be a jerk but I didn't want her mad on this chase. This one felt special for some reason, so I shut her door to give her privacy and walked to the truck to wait. Here's the thing about Y/N, she's so sweet to everyone, but also will have these cute arguments with me when I do stupid stuff on purpose just to talk to her. When I saw her with Javier I honestly thought she would just be another one of those girls that I would hook up with once then never talk to them again. When I talked to her I felt like someone actually got it when I talked about my love for tornados and the chase, now she is the most important person in my life, I can't ruin that over my stupid feelings. Why would someone like her like someone like me?

Y/N's POV

I came out of the bathroom and grabbed my phone, laptop, and notebook. I ran to the truck and jumped in the front next to Tyler. Lily passed me my breakfast and I opened the bag to see what they got me, surprisingly it was exactly what I wanted. I looked over at Tyler and he just had a small smile on his face. "Yes, I ordered for you". My mouth opened slightly and I felt incredibly touched that he knew my order.

"You knew my order, that's so sweet" I reached across the center and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I could almost swear that I saw a shift in color on his cheek to a pink shade, but I brushed it off. Lily turned on the livestream and the chase was on.

Time Skip

We got back to the hotel about 2 hours later, Tyler parked the truck and had a little debrief of everything that went on. After he finished his 15 minute rant of basically summarizing everything we were there for, I started to walk back to my hotel room. Before I could even get to the stairs I heard Tyler shout my name. "Ty, I have to take a shower, I stink."

"I don't have to take a shower and I'm bored. Can I chill in your room, mine's boring" He takes my key out of my bag and walks into my room. I don't even argue with him as he does this often and I just follow him into my room. I throw my stuff on the bed next to him and he looks at me like I just killed his dog. I grab my clothes and just walk into the bathroom to take a shower as I am too tired to argue. I run the shower and the feeling of the water running through my hair makes my bones relax.

Tyler's POV

I start looking through her stuff and flipping through the pages of her notebook. It's filled with a bunch of different poems, mostly about tornados, some about friends, but one caught my eye.
The worst feeling in the world
is when you know you both love each other
but still you just can't be together
I felt anger boiling inside of me but I knew I shouldn't feel this way. She wasn't mine, she's allowed to like other people, but I still wanted to kill whoever she was talking about. I heard the door to the bathroom open and a gasp.

"Why are you holding my notebook?" She said while speed walking to grab it from my hands. I stood up and held it behind my back.
"You wanna tell me who that was about, huh?" I said angrily, even though I knew I shouldn't. She started reaching around me to try and grab her notebook, but I held it just out of her grasp.

Y/N's POV

"Why do you care?" I yelled back at him

"Because I care about you and I want you to be with someone who loves you like I do!"

Everything fell silent as we both realized what he had said. "What did you just say?" I said breaking the silence. He just stood there saying nothing more. "Say something, damn it!" All he does is take two long strides and puts a hand on the back of my head to pull me in.

"I love you" he whispers before connecting our lips.
