I Gave In And Leaned On the Lockers. Tyler Did The Same.
"To The Library Tyler. i DOnt Wanna go to Lunch." HIs Eyes Grew Wide.
"Im Going there TOO ! Let me walk you." He Gestured Towards the library. i hesitated. If Emerey knew hed be SOO mad. i thought to myself.
"Tyler .. I Dont Know." I Said. It Was Thr Right thing. Emh was my best friend. I couldnt LIE to him about Tyler.
"Why?" he asked. Then It was as if he read my mind. His Head Fell And He Started to laugh. "Is It Cause Of Kelly?" He Looked Me In The Eye.
"tyler, You KNOW hes hated you FOREVER. im His Best Friend.. i Couldnt Do that to Him."
"Come On LeeLayh. its Not Like Well Be DOING Anything. Its JUST The Library." I thought About It. I gave In. UGH! WHY was i so Easy to Covince?! I Shouldnt of. id Know That Later.
"Ohk tyler, Lets Go." He Smiled and we walked to the livbrary silently.
"Remind Me LeeLayh.." He Said Holding the Door Open the Private Study Room in The Library. I Looked At Him.
"Remind You?Of What?" He Sat At A Far Table By the Window. i Sat Beside Him.
"Remind Me... Why Kelly HATES ME So Much."
"Dont Say His Name Like that. Hes NOT a Girl. His Names Emery."
"Well, Its Emery Kelly Right?" I nodded. " then Its Not A Girl Name." i Rolled My Eyes.
"Whatever." I Started To Take Out My Bio textBook.
"Come On. Tell Me LeeyLayh." He Took my Book And Pretended To Scan through It.
"Like You Dont remember .. " i mumbled taking My book Back.
"Nope.Sure Dont. Come ON... Tell Me." He Whined. Like Always.. I Gave In.
"Alright." I Paused And took A Deep breath. " Because In 3rd grade you told everyone i was your girlfriend and kissed me. You lied about me and made me look .. bad. You knew it would piss off Emh cause He didnt Like People Talking Bad About Me. Thats Why You Did It." i Looked Away From Him. My Emh Was Alone Eating Lunch And i Was Here Telling His Ememie Why He Was his Ememie. Was there Any Other Friend Out there WORSE than Me.
"No i Didnt." Tyler Looked At me. i could Feel His Gaze. Wanting Me to Ask Why? So i Did.
"Then Why'd You Do It Tyler?" i met His Gaze. There Was guilt In his Eyes.
"Because I Liked you.. " He Hesitated. "Still Do." He Broke Our Gaze. i laughed And He Shot Me A look.
"Tyler Thats A Bunch Of Bull! Youve ALWAYS Picked on ME !" I Flet My Blood Getting Warm. He Was making Excuses For himself. WTF?!
"Because.." He Got All Defensive. " That Was the ONLY Way To Get Close to you! If i Didnt Pick on you.. LeeLayh you Knew Kelly Wouldnt Even Let Me get NEAR You." It Was Silent For A While. i Couldnt Belive It. He Didnt Liek Me. He Didnt.
"We Gotta Get This Project Done." i Said In A Hushed Voice Almost Like I Didnt Want Him To Hear. He Did Half Of the Project While i Did The Other Half.
"Im Sorry.." He Trailed Off. His Head Was Down Focusing On His Pencil That Was Digging A Hole In His TextBook. The Bell Rang And I Got Up.
"No Tyler." i Hushed my Voice Hoping My Confusion Couldnt Be Heard. "Its to Late. Now there Nothing To Be Sorry For."
"Im Sorry For Loving You." i Saw PAin In His Eyes. I Was Shocked. Tyler... Loving ME? Impossible.
"Wait, Wait." he Started to Walk Out And I Got In Front Of Him. "WHAT?" He Wasnt Smileing. Not THe Slitest Bit. This Wasnt A Joke. it Was Real. His Cheeks Were Real And His Eyes Were Glossy.
"Im Sorry For Loving You." He repeted. " Im The LAST Person You Want To BE Loved by. All Broken And Sh*t." He Threw His Hands Up And Let Them Fall Back Down.Looking Around. Anywhere But My Eyes. "Mostyl.. iM Sorry For Myself. I Fell Hard Knowing I Could NEVER Get Back up." I Looked At Him.
"What Do you Mean." i Steadied My Self Against the Table. i Stil Couldnt Process What Was HAppening. Was It Even Really Happeneing?
"i Mean the Only Way for Me To Get Back up Is With you. An di know thats Nevber Going to Happen." He Siad In A Hushed Voice.
"tyler..: i Searched For The Right Words. "Im Sure There Are-" He Cut Me Off.
"Dont. I Know. What Every One Says. 'More Girls Who Deserve You More, More Girls Who Will Dedicate Themselves to you' But I Dont.Want.Them. You Cant Just Break A Love that Been Growing For 8 Years." i Sighed. Tyler Was Sweet. Really Sweet. And Cute. Super Cute. Ans Smart And Steady. but Emery. He'd Never Allow It. The room Was Spinning Around Me. I Had This Feeling. Like I Was Gonna Explode. It Stil Didnt Want To Seep In. All that Tyler Was Saying. I Didnt Want It to. But I Knew I Had to Do Something. Somethign to Settle His Pain A Little And My Unexcused Confusion. So I Hugged him. Tight.
