I'm Back

Chapter 12

I stand up from the table and walk to the doors that lead to the forest. I look back and see Taylor following but Tyler was just watching.
"Oh, we're gonna go out there?" He asks "I'd rather not." He says. "Why not?" Taylor asks.  "He doesn't trust us." I realise aloud. "Well I have a good reason." He defends. "He does."  Tay says walking back to him.

"Just come with us. We aren't going far and we'll be back before lunch is over. K?" I say.  Ty looks at me and then Tay before finally he walks to the door and holds it open. "Lead the way."

We walk through the woods watching out for loose roots and low branches,  and as we travel there was an uncomfortable silence.  I constantly had to look back to make sure Tyler was following because he was behind me.

After walking for eight more minutes we came apon a clearing, it was small but enough space for the three of us.  "okay you have five minutes to explain." He said. He looked agitated, tense, and ready to run. "Okay, okay but just calm down a little and sit. Please." I said. By the looks of it the could have a panick attack any minute. He sat down on a nearby fallen tree and tried to control his breathing. "4 minutes 27 seconds. Times slipping." He said. And so I did it. I finally told him what I've been dying to tell him or anyone who would listen or believe me. I told him why I ran away. My travels. What I learned. How I met Tay. My strength training. Who taught me how to fight. I told him everything. And it took more than five minutes but he stayed and listened. Quietly, and observing, probably taking it all in.

  "So... its really you?" He asked. First hesitant then growing happy. "Yes its really me." I said. "But don't say a word to anyone." I warn. He just nods in response taking a moment to breath. "How do you plan to get your revenge?" He asked. "Well I plan to make their lives a living hell starting next week. No more Mr. Nice Guy." I say. Im prepared. "But how is what I mean."  Oh. 

    "I have a plan on how I will get my revenge on each person who've wronged me to an extent. But, I can't tell you how. That would spoil it." I say "so do you wanna hang with us?"  Tay asks, smoothly changing the subject. "Yeah you need some friends." I add. "No offence taken." He mumbles sarcastically walking over to me. "I missed you the says embracing me in a hug.

   " I missed you too Ty. " I say savoring the warm feeling that I don't get often. "Eww, you guys are so gross with you cheesy sentamental crap. " Tay says. Earning a small slap on the arm from Ty." Oh your so gonna get it. " Tay grins. Before chasing him back to the school and me running after to catch up to them.
