She Always Smelt Like Vanilla Warm & Subtle

Chapter 31 : She Always Smelt Like Vanilla, Warm & Subtle
****

Grace's POV

Me and Tyler woke up at the same time this morning, my face to his chest, and his arms around me. We were both really tired, and Tyler complained about a headache, since he was drunk last night, he had a hangover. I got out of bed to get Tyler some aspirin in the washroom.

When I got to the washroom, I looked in the mirror and stopped to give a good look at myself. I stared at myself in the mirror for a minute. I turned around to look at my back as I lifted the back of my shirt. I saw a scar with the marks of stitches. I never noticed it, but I remembered that I did have to get stitches on my back. The scar is very visible, but it wasn't too big, so it was ok with me. 

I the snapped back into reality and left the bathroom with the aspirin in my hand. Once I got into my room, I remembered that I forgot to get a water bottle for Tyler. I ran to the kitchen to get water with the aspirin still in my hand. I walk back quickly to the room and handed the water and medicine to Tyler. He took the medicine and gulped some water. We decided to go to school together, meaning he would give me a ride.

I made Tyler breakfast, bacon and scrambled eggs. Of course, we had to play call of duty at the same time, and I completely bet his ass.

"Ha ha! You suck at COD!" I victory screeched at Tyler.

"I let you win!"

"Sure Tyler. Keep saying that to yourself. Whatever floats your boat." I said leaning in to Tyler sticking my tongue at him since I was the winner. Then, you will not believe what happened. There was a pause and our faces were a couple centre metres away from each other. And to let you know, I wasn't sticking my tongue out at him anymore by that time, that's for sure. Tyler the closed the space between us.

We were kissing in-sync. The kiss lasted for a short moment, and was ended by Tyler's phone ringing. Tyler quickly answered the phone as I drifted away from him.

I wonder why he kissed me. He for sure wouldn't like me. I don't even know why he was even talking to me. I guess he probably wants to be friends and just kissed me because it seemed to be the right thing to do at the moment, even though it was most likely not.

"Yes?" Tyler asked annoyed.

Tyler talked on the phone for a moment and then ended the call. He began to speak.

"Grace, we need to get going to school in 10 minutes."

Oh shit. Thats what I thought to myself.

And with that, we were running to the door and was out of the building in a minute. We walked to the back of the apartment complex where I stopped walking in awe. There was a Lamborghini Aventador. It was a black one, a pretty damn cool Lamborghini. A man opened be door from the inside and got out, handing which I guess is the keys to Tyler. The man started walking away as Tyler got into the car from the divers side, as I got in from the passenger's side. This was going to maybe be a quite awkward car ride, I hoped not.
_*_*_*_*_

We were running to class, but no one was even in the school. We both gave each other a confused look and then I remembered, it's ditch day, I was so stupid.

"Umm. Tyler,"

"Yah?"

"I just remembered, it's ditch day."

"Oh shit! It is!"

We both chuckled and continued to walk down the hall to leave the school. A couple guys from the football team, including Jackson, walked behind us and called Tyler's name out.

"Bro Tyler! You have to come to football practise!" Jackson said to Tyler. He has a bruise on his face and it looked quite painful.

"Oh yeah, sorry, and don't call me bro." Tyler said meanly to Jackson. That confused me, their best friends. He put his arm in front of me from Jackson pushing me back.

"Stay away from her." Tyler said defensible to Jackson and started walking away with me.
_*_*_*_*_

"Tyler? What happened?!" I asked confusedly at Tyler.

"Ummm. Grace I have to tell you something, about the party at Jackson's house."

"Tyler, what happened?"

"Grace, I don't know how to tell you this, but I'll just say it, but if I do, you have to stay away from Tyler."

When he said that, I felt something on the bottom of my stomach.

"Ok." I said rubbing Tyler's back.

It took him a moment to start to speak to explain.

"It's about you. I found you in the backyard and you almost collapsed, Jackson then told me he payed someone to drug you do he could."

Oh my fucking gosh that bitch, I thought to myself and then realized I said that out loud. Tyler was looking at me with an expression I can't explain, it wasn't a mad one, but a sorrowful one. He began to speak.

"I took you to my penthouse and that's how you ended up there the morning after that."

"Tyler? Did you give Jackson. You know. The bruise?"

"Ummm. Oh yeah, that was from me."

It was silent for a moment in the car as u gave Tyler a big bear hug. He hugged me back.

"Thanks Tyler for being there for me, I can't thank you enough, if it wasn't for you, I don't know if I'd be here."

He smelt the smell of vanilla, and instantly, it reminded me of mom. She always smelt like vanilla, warm and subtle.
