Your Voice Is My Alarm Clock (A Jon Cozart And Thomas Sanders Fanfic)

Chapter Fifty-Two

He's right isn't he? Thomas doesn't love me. I know this. But the thing is, I love him. I love him and care for him, and that's more than Tyde has ever felt for Thomas.

"J-Jon?"

"Thomas!" I exclaim. Relief floods me.

"Jon?"

"I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere."

"Thomas," Tyde says, pushing me away. His eyes open to me first. His beautiful amber eyes.

Tyde tries to grab his hand, but Thomas pulls away.

"Thomas? What..."

"I heard everything you said," Thomas says, "You lied."

"What? No? It was a joke."

"I didn't find it funny."

A look of disbelief crosses his face, "Thomas, but-"

Thomas trembles, and starts to cry.

"C'mon Thomas. Quit being so stuck up! It was fun"

Thomas's eyes turn cold, "I won't be with someone who laughs at other people's expense."

"We're done," Thomas says, resolute.

"Thomas," Tyde grabs his hand and doesn't let go. Thomas tries to pull away.

"He said you're done," I pull Tyde away from him. He whips his arm back and clips me across the face. The cut stings, but I hold my ground.

"It's your fault," Tyde yells, "If you wouldn't have interfered, he could still be mine! I could still have Thomas!"

"If I wasn't here Thomas could be dead! Don't you see what you're doing to him? You put him in a hospital bed!"

"I called the ambulance! It's not my fault he drove drunk!"

"The hell it isn't. He wouldn't have to be here right now if it wasn't for you. It was your job to protect him! You wanted to be his boyfriend, but you never fucking acted like it! Now you don't have to worry about it.

Tyde's face turns red. His muscles tense, fists clenched and jaw hinged. In one swift motion je throws his arm back and steps towards me. Thomas yells and I grab Tyde's arm, which is inches from my nose. Adrenaline makes my heart race as I spit out two words, "Leave. Now."

I shove his arm back and Tyde stumbles. He stares at Thomas, then at me, before leaving. The door bangs against its hinges before slowly drifting shut.
