Roses ♢ Tanner Braungardt

4: Please don't hit me

Kasey's POV
I woke up curled into a ball on one side of the bed. I stayed near the edge. I opened my eyes and let them adjust to the light.

Once my eyes were adjusted, I realized I was in a boy's room. It was obvious with posters of some weird half-naked girl all over the bedroom.

I looked next to me and saw Tanner in the other side of the bed. He was fast asleep and didn't look like he was waking up any time soon.

I quietly got out of the bed and walked out of the room. I was walking down the hall when someone came in and ran straight into me. I looked up and saw that it was Tristan.

We both started laughing, but then I put a finger to my mouth and said "shhhh. He's still sleeping."

Tristan said, "it's okay. He's the only one and he's definitely not a light sleeper."

(Btw I'm just doing this for the story, I know Tristan sleeps all the time and idk If tanner is a light sleeper or not)

I nod as Tristan leads me upstairs. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom really quick." I say. He says okay and I walk to the restroom.

I do my business and wash my hands and then look at myself in the mirror. Luckily, I don't move around much in my sleep so my hair wasn't too bad of a mess. What a miracle. My mascara only smudged a little bit.

I walked out of the bathroom and found Taylor and Tristan. "Our mom is out." Tristan explained. I nodded.

"Want something to eat or drink?" Taylor asked.

"Just water is fine, please."

"Okay." She says as she fills a glass with tap water.

"Thanks." I say as she hands the drink to me.

Then Tanner comes into the kitchen. "Morning." He says.

"Morning." Tristan, Taylor, and I say.

"So what are we doing today?" Taylor asks me after we both go into her bedroom together.

"Whatever you wanna do." I reply.

"We can go to the mall." She suggests.

"Okay." I say. "But we'd have to go to my house to grab some stuff first." I didn't want to go back to my house but I'd have to get stuff.

"That's okay! Let's see if Tristan can take us." She says. I nod as we walk back into the kitchen where Tristan and Tanner are.

"Hey tris, can you take Kasey and I to the mall?" Taylor asks.

"Sure!" Tristan looks very happy to be going shopping.

"Can I join?" Tanner pipes In.

"Sure." Taylor says.

**********

We get to the mall and Taylor immediately wants to go to Hot Topic. I'm excited to go there to see if there are any new twenty one pilots things.

I found some twenty one pilots iron-on patches and a t-shirt. I payed for them and Taylor got some stuff.

We walked out of the store and went to meet Tristan and Tanner in Build-A-Bear Workshop. We walked in to see Tristan holding a pug buildabear.

"I see you found something." Taylor said, motioning towards Tristan's stuffed animal.

He laughed. "Yeah. It was super cute and I got it for somebody else." He says.

I looked at Tanner and he looked somewhat upset. Is he okay? What's wrong?

"Hey Tristan, did you see that small pug stuffed animal?" Taylor asks. Tristan shakes his head. "Well then come and see!" She brings him across the store to look at it. I can tell what she's trying to do. She turns her head around and winks at me.

I shake my head and smile back at her. I can't believe her.

I look at Tanner and he still looks upset. "Are you alright?" I ask him.

"What makes you think I'm upset?" He snaps. I take a step back. "Sorry, I'm really sorry. I'm just angry." He steps towards me.

"It's okay." I say in a quiet tone.

"Please don't be scared of me." He says. He still sounds angry, but not as much.

"Please don't hit me." I whisper.

"What?" He asks. He seems concerned now. "Why would I ever hit you? I would never purposely hurt you."

"I... I didn't mean... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I'm gonna go..." I say. I had a flashback to when my dad was yelling at me, and he was about to hit me.

I start to walk out the store, and then start going faster. I feel someone pull on my arm and I try to pull away, but fail. They pull me back and I run into them.

I feel two arms wrap around me into a hug. "Why would I hit you?" He asks.

"You wouldn't. It's nothing." I say as I pull away and walk back into the store to Taylor.
