You're my superhero

Chapter 21

Shaylie's POV

Ross got mad at me for texting Tyler so he eventually took my phone from me. When our game was over, Ross handed me my phone and left. He told me to come downstairs and get him when I was done texting Tyler and then slammed the door. I looked down at my phone and it read: 5 txt messages. I opened them all and they happened to be from Tyler, every single one of them. They read: Haha, yeah! So what's up beautiful?, Hello?, Where are you?, You okay?, and Can I ask you something?. I answered them all in one text.

To: Tylerrr(:

Hey, sorry, I was playing COD with Ross and he took away my phone, I'm okay and what did you want to ask me?

I almost instantly got a reply.

From: Tylerrr(:

Will you go out with me?<3

I almost dropped my phone I was in such shock. I didn't know what to say. This is what I've been dreaming of since like forever! I can't believe he finally asked me. I couldn't stop smiling.

To: Tylerrr(:

Yes, I will!<3

I sent back. We started talking and then I told him that I had to go. I went downstairs to get Ross and I heard Ratliff coming up. "Oh, hey Ratliff!" I said, smiling, "Who they hell is Tyler?" he almost screamed at me. I couldn't tell him we were dating, who knew what he would say. "Just a friend." I say. "Where are you going? Are you going to go meet him?" Ratliff asked again, his voice getting louder. "No! I'm just coming down to get Ross to play Call of Duty! GOD!" I screamed. I saw Ross come running up the stairs and whispered something to Ratliff but I couldn't make it out and grabbed my arm. He pulled me up into his room and we started playing for an hour. My phone flashed and I looked at who texted me. 'Tylerrr(:' my screen read and I smiled. "Is it Tyler?" Ross frowned. "Yeah, can I tell you something?" I asked turning towards him. "Of course, anything." He turned towards me. "I-I, well, I'm dating Tyler now." I stuttered. "That's awesome Shaylie. I hope things work out. I know you really like him." Ross said as I felt his arms wrap around my body. "Y-you're not mad?" I asked pulling away. "No, of course not. If he makes you happy, then I am happy, and I'm going to support you!" He smiled. "Let's keep playing, I can text him later." I grabbed the controller and waited for him to set up a new round since that was the only thing I didn't know how to do. "How do you think I'm going to tell Ratliff?" I asked shooting down a person. "I think it's best if you just come right out and say it, like you did with me, you know?" He said. "He's harder to talk to but I'll try. Thank you!" I smiled even though he couldn't see me. We heard a knock at the door. "Come in!" Ross and I said simultaneously. We turned to each other and laughed. "C'mon Shaylie. We have to go home." Ratliff said walking in. "Ugh! Thank you for inviting me over Ross! I had fun!" I hugged him. "Just talk to him, I'm sure he will understand!" He whispered to me. "Bye!" I said walking out the door. We got home and I stopped Ratliff at the bottom of the stairs. "Ratliff, can I talk to you?" "Yeah!" HE said. "Please don't freak out but, I um, have a, um, boyfriend." I stuttered. "Who? What? When did this happen?" He started screaming put then stopped and kept his cool. "Well, right before you screamed at me at the Lynch's, Tyler and yeah." I looked towards the ground. "Okay. If he hurts you just let me know and I'll be ready to kick his ass. Invite him over for dinner tonight. I want to meet him." Ratliff said. "Thank you!" I squealed and pulled him in for a hug.
