Heart In Hand

chapter 5 : I'm not a orphan

Tyler's pov

I know what you're thinking but no, me defending her doesn't mean I like her. I mean, she's really pretty and cute and so fucking hot. The way ..... I mean... she's alright.

"Hey what are you thinking about?"...kendra asked "about cut... I mean cooked sushi".... Y am I talking like this. "Is there such a thing?" Kendra asked obviously picking up on my behaviour. "Its a new thing just hit the news actually... very real."... Y am I still talking.. what is wrong with me.

"Are you okay?? You sound a little off". "We're here!!" I rushed out before jumping out of the car and walking towards the pizza place not looking back at kendra.

We got to our table and I could still feel kendra's eyes on me probably wondering about my strange behaviour back at the car.

"Hello, what can I get you guys this evening" the waiter said while looking at kendra. No doubt he's probably eye raping her like WHAT THE HELL!!! I'm right here 😒.
"We would like two large meat lovers pizza, a vanilla milkshake and a bag of skittle, Tyler how bout u?"

#insert shock face here#.... "wait all that was for u?" I ssked, my shock evident in my voice .. "I wouldn't order food for u dummy, besides you're paying" she said with a smirk on her face. "Whatever fat ass. I'll have the same thing" and her smirk quickly turned to scowl followed by a smack on my arm. "Ow that hurt" but she only stuck her tongue out for emphasis

Kendra pov

"Oh shut up you're just being a big baby" I said laughing at his current scrunched up face. After a few minutes of pointless banter the food finally arrived. I dug in fast cause i was really hungry but mostly cause I had to be home very soon or Lucia would have my head, literally.

"Woah slow down buttercup, the food's not gonna run" he joked "yeah its not but I am" I said while standing. "Wait you're leaving? Why? Just stay a little longer" He said but I really had to go .

"Why do I have to stay?.... no one's here Tyler, there's no need to pretend we like each other." I argued back. "You're right, you should probably get out of here" he replied coldly. Not gonna lie, that hurt like real bad

"Uhm, you're my ride home" I said shyly "right" Tyler huffed out before slamming a hundred dollar bill on the table and walking out with me behind him. As expected the ride home was awkwardly silent.

When he got to my usual drop off spot he stopped the car and asked "why don't you let me drop you off at your house?" "Its really none of your concern" I said and looked up at him waiting to get some snarky comeback but all I got was cold dead silence before I finally got out of the car and watched him drive away.

Feeling bad was an understatement right now. I hated the silence, it only reminds me....

"Mummy, mummy wake up. Mummy wake up, its your turn to make breakfast" I chanted while knocking on the door. I looked towards the end of the room and saw my dad on the floor crying but I just didn't get it yet. "Daddy stop crying, mummy will make breakfast. Mummy c'mon daddy's crying he wants breakfast". But it only made daddy cry harder before whispering "mummy's not coming back sweetie". and everything went blank. I heard nothing just total silence, I couldn't even hear daddy's cries anymore, I couldn't hear the tv sounds, not even the birds or the sound of the air conditioner blowing out, nothing, just a screaming loud ass silence.

"Where have you been?" I heard Lucia's voice screech out drawing me out of my thoughts. "Have you gone deaf you stupid child?" She screamed again. One more year, just one more year.

"Oh so now you're ignoring me?... I will teach you some manners, so next time you would know to never disrespect me"....... "that's rich coming from someone who doesn't know the first thing about being sober" I muttered to myself but unfortunately she heard me.

"Excuse me?... You ungrateful wretch" were the last words I heard her say before her fist came flying to my face knocking me backwards to the ground while feeling my shirt go up and a hot cigar pressing down on my stomach and all I could hear were my screams with the sound of a glass shattering, I closed my eyes waiting for the impact of broken glass on my skin but......

"Get your fucking hands off her" Tyler?..

"No, no.. Tyler please, please leave. I beg u" I kept shouting . " You whore... you've been sleeping around and you brought your fucking boy toy to my house?"....and with that Tyler punched her and she fell while I screamed. Then cue the police sirens and just then I knew it was all over but no, not in the good way, in a way worse than this.

I saw Tyler walk towards me but all I felt was hate, he had no right to do what he just did. "Don't take another step near me, why do you hate me?... Why would you do this to me?" I shouted while crying

"What are you saying?.. I just saved you from that psychopath. Are you okay? Kendra?". He said softly. "You think you're a freaking hero?... you just had to ruin everything, I can't, I can't go, no I....

"Miss are you okay? We're taking her to the station now, where are your parents?" The policeman said and with that I fell and let all the tears flow. I could feel Tyler on the floor beside me while he asked "buttercup? Where are your parents?" And them I could feel my being turning cold while I look at him with dead eyes "they're gone and because of you I'm gonna be sent away. With that said I saw his eyes go wide

"We promise you the orphanage home at Winnetka is safe with lots of lovely kids. You would love it there" the police lady tried to comfort me. " I'm not a fucking orphan, you can't send me there". I screamed and saw the shock on Tyler's face probably because I never curse. But before anyone could react I ran out the door while quickly grabbing my bag that had all my savings in it cause I knew Lucia would find it in the house and spend it on more alcohol.

I could still hear Tyler's voice calling out to me but I kept running and diverted into the woods running as fast as my feet could carry me. After a while I lost them before I got out on the road, ran to the train station and set off to where the wind takes me... well more like wherever this train stops. I forgot to ask #insert embarrassed emoji#

Tyler's pov

"KENDRA!!!!, wait please stop running, we can figure this out."No no where is she?? "Someone find her!!, aren't you the police? Look for her. Why the fuck do you wear badges if you don't do your own god damn job" I kept spitting out nonsense. Why wouldn't I ?, kendra's gone, my butter cups gone and it's all my fault. I fell to my knees with my face in my hands. I didn't want them to see me cry.

I heard my mum screaming my name while running. "Tyler, son what happened?, are you okay? Talk to me. Baby please say something". She rushed out

"Momma she's gone, and it's all my fault. She could be hurt, she's all alone and it's all my fault. I'm so sorry, I'm so fucking sorry" I cried out and she didn't say anything more except to hold me in her arms. Usually that's all I needed but no what I need is my buttercup. But she's gone I drove her away. It's all my fault.

Yes, yes hate on me people but she ain't gonna be seeing Tyler anymore. I know most of you already have ship names but this is me we're talking about cliche ain't my thang.. it kinda is tho.... but let's see..... if you really wanna know what's gonna happen you just gotta hang on and follow me through this journey. Poor Tyler tho. Tell me what you think and remember no mean comments cause I can be mean too and you don't want that now do you?😄😝🙅
