Chapter 20: Some girls cry over that shit

Chapter 20: Some girls cry over that shit

I slammed the front door shut and started walking to the place that I needed to be. The tree that mom, Kyle, Josh, Amy, Dad and I always used to play at.

This tree was a very special tree. It's were Kyle and I always sat on Friday nights. Staring at the sky. Kyle and I were twins, and we shared the exact same interests.

This is the first time since I've been back here since he died.

As soon as I caught sight of the tree my tears fell even more. I cried once when mom and Kyle died but then I stopped. Realising there was no use. Josh, being an older brother urged me to cry. Saying that it was good to cry and let it all out. But me being stubborn. I refused.

I wiped my tears away and walked up to the familiar tree. I held my arm up, little space between the tree and my hand. Closing my eyes I touched the tree memories coming back to me. I traced my steps as I climbed the tree. Laughing as I remembered when Kyle used to whine over me taking too long. As soon as I reached the middle I sat down. The view looking exactly the same. Except there was no stars. Just the sunrise. But the view was still spectacular. Silent tears fell down my cheeks as I silently cried.

"Fancy seeing you here" A familiar voice said from the bottom of the tree.

I didn't have to glance down to know who it was. "Please not now" I spoke wiping my tears away.

Tyler still stood there staring up at me. "You okay?" He asked worried.

I laughed. "Who knew the bad boy had a heart"

He gave me a charming smile. "Can I come up?"

I stared at the sunrise unsure of what to say. Kyle and I have shared this tree. Noone else has been up here except us two.

He took my silence as a yes as he started climbing the tree sitting next to me.

"Are you crying?" He asked.

I gave him a stern look. "No, I'm not crying. I just have water dribbling down my face"

"It's funny how you seem to be upset but can still pull out a sarcastic remark" he mumbled staring into the view. "What a spectacular view"

I nodded in response. It was true.

"So are you gonna tell me why you're crying?" He asked taking his eyes off the view his eyes landing on me.

"No"

He didn't take no as an answer.

"Did your dog die?" He asked.

"No"

"You got 90%" he asked. I gave him a confused glance questioning his choice of words.

"What?" He said innocently. "Some girls cry over that shit"

"No" I shook my head in disbelief a smile spreading across my face.

"Then what? C'mon it's not like I'll judge you. I've got issues too" he said staring at his lap.

I nodded. " I already know that"

Major mental issues. He rolled his eyes at me realising what I meant.

"I'm being serious"

"I'll tell you if you tell me first" I said making a childish deal.

He cursed. "How am I meant to know that you will say anything after I say mine?"

"I pinky promise, cross my heart hope to die if I break this promise" I said in a serious matter.

He sighed. "Family issues"

I waited for his reply but nothing came as I realised that was all he was going to say. "Is that all?"

He nodded. "You asked and I summed it all up. Your turn"

I glared at him before looking back at the sunrise."My mom died"

"How?"

I snorted. "This is the time when your meant to give me sympathy or be a little less arrogant"

"I have my ways" his face filled with no emotion met mine.

"She died from cancer" I bluntly replied sniffling a bit.

He scratched his head looking very uncomfortable. "I'm, uh, sorry" he tried to comfort me.

I laughed at his failed attempt to try and comfort me.

"Is this one if the conditions that you get after someone dies?" He asked looking at me like I'm crazy.

I sobered up. "I was just joking, noone died"

He glared at me.

"My mom and brother died when I was younger" I bluntly spoke.

His eyes bore into mine as he tried to find if I was lying. "Is that why you're crying.

I smiled. "Again. You're meant to comfort me"

"I'm not really good at comforting people" he mumbled but I could still hear him.

"I realised"

"I thought you only had Josh as a brother" he asked confusion etched onto his face.

I nodded. "There's more to it then that"

There was a pause. "Which is..?" Tyler raised his eyebrow.

"You expect me to tell my whole story when you only told me two words" I challenged him crossing my arms over my chest.

"Well.." he paused trying to find the right words. "..yeah"

I closed my eyes leaning my head against the tree branch and taking a breath in, enjoying the scenery. "You're ruining the moment"

He smirked. "We're in a moment?" He questioned.

I made eye contact with him. "It was all peaceful until an annoying presence made their way to me. I knew I was attractive, but gosh. There's no need to stalk me". I smirked feeling like the bad boy was below me, for once in my life.

Probably the only time that I will feel like this.

But hey, let me enjoy it.
