Fear

Chapter Three

Recap:

His words were cut off my the person turning around and showing us his face. I almost audibly gasped. He...he wasn't Tyson. He looked just like him.

"Who are you?" I asked gasping.

"Tyler." he said smiling confused. He let out a hand for me to shake and I looked at it in horror. I realized how rude I was being and I accepted it.

"You just look very familiar. I thought you were someone I knew." I shook my head trying to rid myself of the jumbled thoughts. How the hell can he look so much like Tyson? They have similar names too. I tried to convince myself that it was just a coincident but I'm not stupiud. This guy just gave me another clue to finding out where Tyson is. I smiled kindly at him and shook his hand.

"I'm Payson." I said flashing him the most genuine smile I could muster just hoping that it didn't look like a scowl.

I walked into school with my Bestfriend in a similar stride as me. Of course people were staring and whispering but I didn't even care for once in a long time I was happy. I wore my strangely familiar smile like I had never once hated it, resented it, banished it. I accepted the happiness with open arms because honestly , it felt good it felt better than being sad and angry all of the time. Nevertheless my feelings have not changed. I will find Tyson and Tyler will help me.

I turned to look at Josh but he was distracted gazing off into the halls. I followed his gaze. I ended up making a disgusting sneer shortly after.

"Amanda Carmichael?" I asked with wide eyes. He shrugged.

"She was good in bed." he said laughing.

My eyes probably looked like flying saucers at his comment. "Ew." I said grabbing my physics book and closing my locker. "I have just seen you in a different light."

"In a new light I shall be in then," he said laughing. "The neck was godly."

I could contain my laughter as I belted it in the hall catching the attention of people walking past. I coughed the stifle my giggles as Amanda flared her nostrils in anger.

"Someone's mad," I pointed out nabbing Josh in the shoulder.

He looked at me with a pout,"She might not come over now."

I stared at him with a blank expression before the two of us erupted into inconsolable laughter. After catching our breaths I turned to him and smiled. "I've missed that."

He looked confused so I continued. "Laughing." I said simply. Something in his eyes flashed but he covered it quickly.

He coughed awkwardly as he grabbed my hand. "Let's go to class."

Immediately after school I was surrounded by the familiar white walls and matching tile floors. I took a deep breath before I reached the door. 208. I swallowed and opened the door swiftly.
I walked straight in and stood at the foot of his hospital bed.

I guess my facial expression was a mirror of my happiness because he quickly sat up in curiosity.

"She's back." I said simply letting out a loose breath.

He smiled in contentment and lay back on his pillow as he spoke, "I knew she could do it."

I sat with him for a little while longer before I went home. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with an empty house. I mean I'm used to the feeling but one can only hope or a change. Ever since I can remember my parents would only come home every couple of months. A phone call was a rarity as well. I always grew up with myself. Well of course Payson and Tyson as well but, you know how that is. I walked up stairs and logged into my computer. I went on facebook to see a new notification. I couldn't contain the smile when I saw Pay had uploaded a couple new photos. The ones we took in gym. Her smile was so huge. 

Maybe, he shouldn't tell her right now. For once in a long time Payson is happy. And I love it.
