Just Like Old Times

Elizabeth

I woke up with the sun shining in my face and Buster sleeping on top of my stomach. I groaned and tried to sit up but Buster wouldn't let me.

"Buster can you please get off of me?" I asked and he looked at me and slobbered all over my face.

"Well thanks for that." I said and threw my head back on the couch and hit it really hard.

I heard laughing behind me and I turned around and it was Tyler. He was shirtless which I didn't mind at all but he had only his boxers on which made me uncomfortable.

I pushed Buster off of me and wiped the slobber off of my face and stood up.

"Where is your bathroom Ty?" I asked and he pointed up the stairs, still laughing.

Wow, what a big help.

I walked up the stairs and was about to walk into the bathroom when I saw Tyler's bedroom so I quietly walked in and examined it.

There was a big bed in the middle of the room alongside of it was a stand full of condoms!

Condoms, what the hell Tyler!?

I slapped my hand in my face, immediately regretting coming in here. I went to turn around and walk out when I heard Tyler say,

"Soon, your going to be laying on my bed naked." He smirked and I picked his shirt off the floor and threw it at him.

"In your dreams Ty." I retorted.

"You right." He smiled, laughed then walked down the stairs.

I walked in the bathroom and started at myself in the mirror. I put my hair up to try and hide the knots in my hair. I was satisfied with it and walked downstairs where Tyler was playing with Buster and cooking at the same time.

"Hey boy, good job what you did in there, here's a piece of bacon don't tell Lizzy." He handed Buster the bacon and he ate it quickly.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? You secrely feeding my dog?" I gasped and sat down at his table.

"Ahh man, were caught Buster." I laughed and swiped a piece of bacon from the plate.

"Man, this is really good. Where'd you learn to cook Ty?" I asked.

"I learned, after prison my parents wanted nothing to do with me so I had to fend for myself." He said,

I felt bad for him, after Brianna died, they shut Tyler out completely.

"I'm sorry tyler, you could of came and stayed with me."

"I didn't know where you were and I thought you forgot about me." He frowned.

I got up from my chair and hugged him.

"I could never forget you Tyler, you were and still an important person in my life. I love you." I said and he squeezed me harder, I smiled. He kissed my forehead and let me go.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Yeah,um... i just need to finish the breakfast." Something was off about him.

"No, what is wrong with you? Im still here for you and you should know that." I retorted.

"I said nothing,leave it alone lizard." He said.

"No and stop calling me lizard, my name is Elizabeth or Lizzy." I said and put my hands on my hips.

"Im allowed to call you what i want, freedom of speech remember?" He retorted back.

"Why do you even still call me that name anyways, it was years ago since that happened." I said.

When i was 5 years old and he was 7 years old, we were both playing outside and he handed me a drink and i took it from him, i was about to drink it when i saw that there was a lizard in my cup and I screamed and he bursted out laughing and I have been scared of them ever since.

"Because i like it." He said.

"Now tell me whats wrong!" I shouted which made him even angrier.

"Today is Brianna's birthday and also it's the day she died and its hard for me, don't you understand? My parents blamed me for what happened to her. They said if she was never in the car with me she would still be alive and they hoped that i had died, which i cant blame them for saying that. How could my own parents tell me that?" A tear slid down his cheek and he wiped it away.

I felt so bad for him, I just stood there looking at him. I was pissed at his parents for telling him that, it wasn't his fault, the drunk driver ran them off the road and hit right into the passenger seat where Brianna was sitting.

"Hey don't talk like that Tyler. It wasn't your fault that she died and im glad you didn't die with her. I lost her and that hurt, the thought of losing you too hurts even more," I trailed off as I started to cry.

"Please don't cry,Lizard. It's okay." He said and wrapped his arms around me.

"You won't ever lose me, even if you tried." He added.

"Why don't we sit down and watch saw and eat ice cream like old times." I said and he nodded.

We say down on the couch and i rested my head on his shoulder. I missed this.

"Thank you Lizard for being here for me, i love you." He said and kissed my forehead.
