Chained

Chapter 9 Part 1.

Milyn POV

Yesterday was crazy.

I wasn't really expected all of that from Cheyenne and Chris.

I didn't know their relationship was that messed up, but it is what it is.

I got a text from Tyler telling me to meet him up at his house.

I was hesitant at first, but I gave in anyways.

Some time later, I pulled up in his yard.

I got out of my car and walked towards his house. The door was open, so I just walked straight on in.

He was sitting on the couch, smoking a blunt.

"I didn't know you smoke."

"Well, now you know one of my secrets."

He sat up to put the blunt out.

I sat on the couch across from him.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" I asked.

"How's life?"

"Bullshit. You just want to know if Vince and I are together or not."

I got up and headed towards his front door.

He ran up and blocked the door.

"We starting this childish shit again?"

"Milyn just hear me out."

"Why? You don't really care about me, do you? You're only concern about me when i'm with somebody. You didn't talk to me for six months, and now you're concerned because i'm talking to Vince."

He just stared at me, and I was getting more heated because he wasn't saying anything.

"Move Tyler."

No answer.

"Tyler move ! What's your problem?"

No answer.

I just gave up and sat back on the couch and he sat back down too.

It was more than thirty minutes since we were just staring at each other.

"If I stop caring, will you start caring?"

His question made me think a little.

"Tyler, I only act like I don't care, but inside, I care more than you can ever think."

"Then why make us go through all of this?"

"Because the problem is I care way too much about people who don't give a shit about me."

He started staring at me again, like he was trying to read me. Figure out what's really wrong with me.

"Why do you smile so much, if you always feel this hurt, Ma? You never let me get to know you, or figure you out. It's like you're trying to hide from me."

I started feeling bad all over again.

"I hide my problems behind my smile. Behind my smile is a world of pain. You think you know me, but you have no idea."

I just started shaking my head, and closing my eyes. I really felt like crying, but I didn't want to.

He got up from sitting on the couch and stood in front of me. He soon got on both knees, making our faces right in front of each other.

"Then let me get to know you. I was asking you that for the longest." He said, while laughing.

He started wiping a tear that I let stream down my face.

"You just got to trust me Mimi."

I looked at him, and looked in his eyes to see if he was really sincere.

"I trust you Tyler."

He smiled then hugged me, and it was a hug that I missed.
