A Kiss ( #Wattys2016 )

XXIV.Everything's over ?

I came back from school in a rush. I ran up to my room and shut myself away from the world and broke down in tears. I hid myself behind depression and remembered every moment I spent with Tyler, which was all a lie.

I fell for him and he was just looking for a chance to play with my feelings.

I wonder when my mind will be free of this torture?

I walked into the bathroom and took a fresh shower to get rid of all the awful pain in my chest.

But sadly, it didn't work.

I stepped out of the shower and that's when it happened.

The bright sunlight room suddenly went black because someone threw a blanket over me and held me tightly.

I struggled the grip and screamed but my voice got muffled because of the blanket covering me.

The person holding me lifts me up and next thing I know my ass is placed on a soft cushion.

"April," oddly familiar voice reaches my ears and the blanket is lifted off me. My adjust to light when I find Tyler kneeling in front of me.

"I can't believe you would resort to such levels." I grit out. "Let me go!"

"No, you smell too good to let go!" He says casually.

How can he act like nothing has happened?

"Cut it out Tyler, what the hell are you doing here?" I demand.

"Because you won't listen to me!" He sighs.

"Why would I listen to you? Your reasons are lies anyways!" I hiss at him and he doesn't say anything.

I hate him. He hurt me bad this time.

A tear falls from my eye.

"April," Tyler's soft distress voice reaches my ear and I lift up my stare to look at his disheveled state. His face is pale and his eyes have lost the entire spark that used to be there whenever he used to see me.

"I hate and hurt seeing you cry!" He says causing a fresh round of tears to fall.

Why did you do it Tyler?

"April I -" I cut him off by sitting upright. I wipe the tears off my face furiously and he just stays silent.

"Tyler, let it go ... Let this end. It is not working anymore. We are walking in rounds with this relationship. I whisper through a raspy tone and turn to him.

He furrows his brows at me.

"Don't do this to me, April, to us!" He says slowly and I glower at him.

"Tyler, there was never us," he winces at my harshness. "It is clear that it was you and Skylar all this time."

"I can never do that to you, will you let me explain?"

"I want no more lies Tyler. It was good when we were together. Its okay. I am hurt but it's fine.... I'll get over it. You are happy with her that's best for you. I am letting you go ... I know you both are made for one another and if we continue this, I am the only going get hurt at the end. " I smile at him, mocking him. He gulps and steps forward but I held out my hand and stop him.

Its good to let go.

"I am not listening to anything you say. You're taking it all wrong. I can never hurt you. I love you; you know that." Tyler almost pleads.

I used to believe that too but I am not sure anymore.

"Tyler Callahan, I hate you. " his eyes remain impassive.

"You're lying!" He says and I shrug simply.

"I don't love you anymore " I say and his fists tightened as his jaw clench.

His eyes turn glassy and he steps back.

I want to reach out and hold him and tell him that all I said was a lie. But I cannot do that.

He lets out a humorless laugh as his gaze flicks up to the ceiling. He clenches and unclenches his fists.

He eyes meet mine and I know he see tears still rolling down my face.

In two swift strides he comes towards me.

But either way he cups my face and bores his eyes into mine.

"You say you don't love me anymore, then why do I feel otherwise?" He sneers and my eyes widen a little.

"Tyler just go!" I try to push him away.

"I won't forgive you Hayden. " He pushes me away and walks backward as the emotions detonate.

"Tyler I -" I croak out and he just shakes his head.

"If you want me gone then that's what you will get." He says and his words pierce a knife in my heart.

He turns around to exit the door.

"April- " he begins "just remember the only truth I know is that I have always loved you and I will always love you."

He says and my heart skips a beat. He slams the door shut behind him as I fall on my knees.

Everything's over?

Mom was so right; it is difficult to find love. I found it but I also lost it.
