(told from tyler's perspective)

"god dammit connor, i can't believe you! how could you do this?"

i hung up the phone without waiting for an answer. i didn't know where i was, where i had gone. all i know is the last thing i said to him was "if you're not out of this apartment when i get back, you're going to wish you were" and drove off.

all i had on me was a 20 dollar bill, my phone, and the keys to our shared apartment. i didn't want to see him, and i know he didn't deserve to see me. the fact that just the night before i was home dreaming of him while he was off moaning someone else's name made me sick. i opened my phone, just to see texts from him and 9 missed calls.

the texts read:

"tyler"

"please"

"you can't just avoid this"

"come home please ty"

"we need to talk about this"

"ty please"

"i need you"

my hands shook with rage, and i could feel the tears welling in my eyes. i wouldn't cry. i refused to fucking cry.

i tried my best to stay calm as i responded, making many mistakes as i trembled.

"i have nothing to say to you. there isn't anything left to say. after what you did i can't even look you in the eye and see you for who i thought you were. leave the fucking apartment connor. i hope i don't fucking see you again."

and with that, i turned around and drove home.
