The Bully's Escape

Fangirls?!

JAX'S POV~
At 11:00 the next day, Tyler had to go home again for his mother. I offered to walk him home this time but he said that he was grateful enough that I even hung out with him and that he didn't want to trouble me again. I just shrugged it off and said goodbye once more. I cleaned up the living room and kitchen then traveled upstairs to fall to sleep.

~Morning~
I woke up sluggishly and tried to will myself to get out of bed. I turned to my side slowly and looked at the alarm clock, then shot up as fast as I could. Shit! It's 7:30! I thought. I hastily got out of bed and ran into my bathroom to take a shower. I hurriedly turn on the warm water and stepped inside, letting the water run down my skin as I washed up. After I finished, I ran out into the cold air and put on a black t-shirt and dark-washed jeans. I looked back to the the clock to find that it's only been 15 minutes. I ran out the house and hopped into the car quickly and drove to school.

I stopped in the parking lot and jumped out of my car running towards the door. I saw some short person about to walk in but they hesitated somewhat as if the were waiting for someone. I took the chance and ran as fast as I could until I could clearly se the person was Tyler.

"Hey Tyler! Don't close the door yet!" I yelled from across the lot. He turned my way then gasped. I noticed I was getting closer and closer to him but I couldn't stop my legs from moving. Finally we crashed into each other and fell to the ground. Tyler and I groaned in pain as I got up slowly. I sat up slowly only to see Tyler's nose is bleeding!

"Shit shit shit! I'm so sorry Tyler!" I said cautiously. He slowly sat up holding his nose very gently.

"Yea, um it's alright I guess. It just really, hurts." He said with strain in his voice. I gently removed his hand from his nose and sighed in relief to find that there was no bruising. I pulled him up slowly by his wrist and went to the bathroom to clean him up.

I sat him down on the sink and got a damp paper towel to dab away the blood. He would wince every once in a while but he was fine after I cleaned him up. When I was done I picked him up off the sink, and turned around only to be met with some creepy girl.

She was smiling and panting while rubbing her hands together maniacally. She kind of had this dazed but really happy look on her face. Tyler hid behind me and peeked out a little to look at her.

      "Um, do you know her?" He asked me in a confused manner. I shook my head looked back at her, but to my surprise there were three of them now. Three crazy looking girls with happy dazed looks on their faces. I looked at all three of them then decided to just grab Tyler and run.

As I made a move to leave, they seemed to snap out of their stupor.

      "Wait don't leave! We're your fan-club!" They said loudly in unison. I cringed and backed away a little. I heard Tyler give an angry huff and then he pushed himself off of me.

      "Please keep me out of your special little fan problems, Jax." He said in a jealous tone. He turned around ready to walk away until all the girls started screeching again.

      "No no, silly." The first girl says. "We're fans of both you guys!" She says happily while clapping her hands together, her friends nodding in the back. Tyler turned back around with his mouth gaped.

      "Wait. Let me get this straight. You girls are fans of me and Jax. This can't be real." He says, shock still evident on his face. They just giggled to each other until then gained composure.

"Yes, Tyler is modest as always, just like in our fanfiction." One of the other girls say, making them all giggle again. The first girl finally stops laughing and clears her throat.

"Now then I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Audrey and they are Lindsay and Ashlynn. We three are known as the Jyler Ship Club!" She says with great triumph in her tone. A look of shock covers my features as look over to Tyler. He had this rosy blush on his cheeks and it made him look cute. Cute? When did I start using those kinds of adjectives for Tyler?

"Wait you can't be serious. You ship us together. What kind of sense does that make?" Tyler said, pointing between me and him. I suddenly felt a warm blush creep all the way to tips of my ears, finally realizing what they just said.

"Hold on. You're saying that you ship us. That you would want us together. As a couple?" I said shaken. Audrey and her friends nodded their heads rapidly to my statement.

"That's exactly right mister Jax Savage!" Audrey laughed out loud. I took a step back shaking my head slowly. They want us to be a couple. They want us to do couple things. Don't couples have to like each other. Do I like Tyler?

All these questions began running through my mind. Do I like Tyler? Yeah as a friend. But do I like him any more than that? Possibly. Wait does that make me gay?

That question stumped me. I didn't want to lose my title for something like this. If people start finding out, they'll stop respecting me. And if my friends find out they'll tell my uncle. I had to stop this rumor immediately.

"I'm sorry ladies but I only swing one way. Sorry to disappoint." I said quickly after their remark. They all smiled anyway as if I didn't even say anything at all.

"Jax, Jax, Jax. Sorry to disappoint but, you think we care about your opinions but we don't. We just care about our ship it doesn't matter what you think. Plus you could just secretly love him on the low, and never even know!" Audrey squeals happily.

I took a step back and breathed in a huge gulp. I briefly glanced at Tyler, only to see his bright red face. He shifted from one foot to the other nervously. He was looking around bashfully until suddenly our eyes met. His blush intensified as we averted each other's gaze. I felt a warm blush creep up my face as well. I had to get out of here before I do something I might regret.

So with that in mind I turned around slowly and ran towards the open school doors. I could hear the shouts of the girls but I was too determined to leave so I didn't turn around. After running for a good 5 minutes I sat down near a wall and brought my knees to my chest.

I was panting heavily and my heart was rocketing inside my chest. I like Tyler. I can't believe it. I like Tyler. I slowly calmed down my breathing by taking deep long breaths. After my cool down moment, I stood up from my position and began walking to class,  I just hoped I didn't run into Tyler until I fully figured out my feelings.

My feelings. I never once thought I would be feeling confusion like this. My whole life I've been practically raised to know you have to have the perfect family. Beautiful wife, beautiful kids, beautiful home, and I've always dreamt of having all those things. But when I saw Tyler for the first time, something inside fluttered but I'm not sure if it was from the excitement to pound a new victim or some other kind, some new kind of feeling that I haven't gotten used to yet.

I turned the corner into class and sat down next to my group of friends. They were doing their usual antics, messing with other kids, throwing spit balls at the other people. I just sighed and looked out the window. I wonder where Tyler is now?

TYLER'S POV~
He ran. I can't believe it. He ran! Well I can't say much since I did too but I can't believe it. Was he that disgusted? No, or is it because he likes me too? Too!? I'm glad I escaped before I let my secret slip from me. Ugh those girls! Just as we were becoming friends, they had to almost spill my secret. The fact that I kinda maybe like Jax.

They basically exposed me to him and he saw me in that blushing state. Ugh I'm so embarrassed! He must think I'm really lame by now. Just thinking about this friendship ending kinda makes me sad. I mean I know this was just a deal but I felt like it was real, the friendship that is. I wonder where Jax is now? It's funny how all this started anyway. All because of a couple crazy fangirls.
