Tobin's POV
I'm not really allowed to go on 'missions' anymore because of an incident I had, when Tyler came for an unwelcome visit a couple days ago.
*Flashback*
"Hi Tobs" A familiar voice says from behind me. But why is it a guy's voice? No guy can call my Toby, Tobs, or anything else but Tobin. Hell no.
"Excuse me?" I ask, turning around.
"Its me" Tyler says.
"Cool, not make yourself scarce and get out of here" I say, and he frowns.
"I thought you liked me" He says.
"Yes. 'Liked'. Past tense" I glare.
"Come on Tobin, lets go and leave this place for a while. I know somewhere we can be alone" He smiles so genuinely it makes me sick. Who the heck does he think he is?
"Actually, I'm married. So no" I say, pushing him away.
He grabs my hand, and I'm three seconds close to knocking his lights out.
"Come on Tobs. Lets go" He says, pulling my hand.
One.
"Let go of me. Right now" I spit.
"Why? I thought you liked this" He smirks, pulling me close.
Two.
"Go back to where you came from" I growl, and pull my hands loose.
"Then I'm taking you with me" He says, and my brain snaps.
Three.
I pull my hand back, and swing up, connecting my fist with his jaw. He groans and stumbles backward. I don't stop there. I attempt to kick his legs out, but he hops out of the way and shoves me into the table. I use it as a slingshot and fly forward and my forearm clotheslines him. He stood up so fast and punched me in the eye, and I knew it would leave a mark by how it started to throb. I groaned, then tried to knee him in the groin, but he blocked it, so then I tackled him into a table, and blindly started swinging my fists down on his face. Someone screamed in terror, and then Marc and Eli were dragging me off of Tyler. My fists were bloody from his blood.
*End of Flashback*
I smirk at the memory. I broke his nose and gave him multiple bruises on his face. But Alex wasn't too happy with me getting suspended from any real activity. I also now get a doctor come check on my mental state.
"Hey Tobs" Eli says, walking in. Eli can call me Toby and Tobs because he isn't a nuisance. He's actually chill.
"Hey Eli" I say.
"I got you something" He says, and gives me a pair of earbuds.
"How'd you get them?" I ask, very surprised.
"Wasn't easy, but I figured you would want a pair, so you can take your music everywhere" He grins proudly.
I haven't seen earbuds since I was playing soccer.
I hug Eli, and he grabs my arm and pulls me outside.
"Where are we going bud?" I ask.
"For a walk" He says.
"But Eli, you know the rules. I'm not allowed to leave the building" I say, starting to stop.
"You'll like where we're going" He says, and I let him lead me down the hallways, and then into a room.
"Eli, what are we doing here?" I ask, looking around. Then, my heart stops.
I take a step backward, and bump into the door.
"Hiya Tobs" She grins at me.
Her face is so clean that her freckles seem to glisten, and her tan skin is golden in this place full of pale people. Her brown hair and goofy grin makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time. I rub my eyes, and smile like an idiot. Her height, just shorter than me. I grin.
"Hey stranger" I smile, and she laughs her amazing laugh.
"Did ya miss me?" She asks, in her goofy laugh, and I feel myself running to her, to my best friend I've missed so much. I see Alex grinning in the corner of my eye, and I see JJ and Christen watching us.
"I've missed you, best friend" I laugh, and we hug.
Nothing could make this day any better.
I've got my best friend back.
