Start fresh Next Semester ( Adopted by Tyler Joseph)

Chapter 6: Thoughts of the Past

Steph's POV:

„You are so fucking worthless! No one will ever want you. I only married your mother, because I got her pregnant with you. And I regret it everyday!" My dad yelled at me „No one would care if you weren't here anymore, so why don't you all do us all a favor and end it!" he screamed at me, and all I could do was curl up and cry „Steph!" a voice screamed „Leave me alone!" I yelled back „ Steph! Wake up, please babygirl!" Wait... that's not my dads voice...

When I woke up with a start I immediately felt two set of arms wrapping around me „You're safe here. You're not there anymore. We promise you, that you're safe now." Tyler whispers in my ear, and then began to softly sing Leave the City to me... and surprisingly it helped me to calm down. „Why did that work? I never was able to calm down after a nightmare..." I wrote down in the notes app on my phone „Because you are in a loving environment now. You lost something btw" Jenna said, and handed me my NED plush „NED! Sorry for pushing you down" I exclaimed and cuddled it into my chest, which made me miss the soft smile that Jenna and Tyler gave eachother. „Can-can you maybe stay until I am asleep? And can you sing a bit for me? Your voice is calming" I wrote down in my phone's notes app, after showing them, they just smiled and said that they would of course help me.

The next morning:

I wake up cuddling something squishy, and I thought it was Ned, so I tried to get it closer, but as I tried to get it towards me I heard a chuckle and my eyes shot open and I wished I could just sink in a Hole and never ome up. Because I wasn't holding my Ned... but in my sleep I had apparently cuddled with Jenna and laid my hand on her breast „ Morning sleepyhead. Did you sleep well? Certainly are a good cuddler, even though you got a bit of a handful right now, didn't you?" Tyler asked from the door, and I just jumped and pulled my hand away, blushing madly... „Don't be embarrassed Sweetie. It's not like Tyler has never done that" Jenna said suddenly with a chuckle, but I just held my ears closed and made a grimace, because I really don't want to know that. „Anyway. Did you two sleep well?" Tyler asked us, and we both smiled and nodded.

Later:

After we enjoyed a great breakfast and had some bonding time with each other, we decided to watch some TV. „What's that?" I wrote out when we came to a program which showed something about a show, that's called „WWE" „Oh it's wrestling. Wanna watch it? Haven't watched it in a while but I used to be a fan in my teenage years" Tyler explained to me, and I gave a hesitant nod, because I remembered that everytime I said that I didn't like something back in Australia, I got ignored and made fun of for being such a whiny little girl. „What is it Steph? You seem nervous?" Jenna asked me, but I didn't wanted to ruin their good mood, so I just shook my head, plastered a smile on my face and watched the TV, right as someone named „Zelina Vega" came out.

„Damn... she's beautiful- Stop it Steph! She's a celebrity. She's literally on TV." and I just watched as she talked to someone named „Liv Morgan". They both were really good looking, but I liked Zelina more, she had these underdog qualities, because of her size.

After watching the show and being amazed by the athleticism of the wrestlers, especially the girls, I could understand why Tyler was a fan when he was younger „ That was cool" I whispered out, after sitting next to Tyler, but still being afraid of his reaction to hearing my voice. „I just wish Steph would speak more... she has such a beautiful voice. I understand why she doesn't want to, she is probably terrified of speaking because of her bio parents... I hope she trusts us soon." Tyler spoke suddenly, and I realized that I was asleep, so I stayed silent and not much later I began to sleep, with a little smile on my face, and hopes for a better life ahead, swimming in my mind.
