BLACKMAILED.

Chapter 8: Oops, I did it again.

"Good Morning Sunshine." he smiles at me. "How are you on this fine morning?"

"Peachy." I reply, shaking my head.

"Well that's good." He smiles at me.

How badly I wanted to tell him I loved him, but I couldn't.

It was too soon and let's not forget he BLACKMAILED ME INTO THIS.

"Well, I should probably go now, bye!" I smile. "I'll return the clothes in a couple."

I did a thing.

A really bad thing I shouldn't have done.

"You're so cute." He says, looking at me and grinning. We had been joking and laughing but suddenly, my mood changed. Cold feet.

"Yeah, you've told me that before." I frown. "When the whole Bryan situation happened."

"Noelle.."

"Do you not know how guilty I am every day for it? I sit here and feel like there's 100 bricks on my shoulders because I'm dating the guy I cheated on the love of my life with." I yell. "You sit and act like this is just a-okay and everything is fine but I look at Bryan and see how much it kills him that I can kiss you but not him." 

"Noelle, I thought we had moved past that."

"Oh yes, I can just move past the biggest mistake of my life like it's nothing. I can't sit here and do this to him, whether we're dating or not. I'm sorry."

"So I'm just a freaking side guy to you?"

"You're nothing to me! You blackmailed me into this! Why are you acting like we actually have something?!" I bark. He jumps, looking up at me with sad blue eyes. Suddenly, I see a familiar sight. His eyes filled with rage.

"Get out." He hissed.

"Tyler- I'm sorry. I didn't mean..." I began.

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" He screamed, sending the objects on his night stand crashing on the floor. 

I jump up off the bed, and look down to see I was in his t-shirt and my jeans. I grab my fishing pole and dirty shirt and run for my life.

Panting, I continue to run down his stairs, out the door, and back to my house.

I really screwed up.
