More than just Friends? (A Tyler Ward and Alex G fanfinc)

Chapter 29

~ Alex ~ 

I lay in bed, and work on my homework for English class. 

 I am supposed to write a poem about someone that I care about, and of all people, even my boyfriend, I choose Tyler. Why? I don’t know... 

Actually I do know. 

I really know why. 

 I just can’t keep thinking about him. I just can’t get the fact into my mind that I have a boyfriend, and I just can’t go up to Tyler and tell him that I have feelings for him. 

The thing is, is that I am worried that he may find out that this poem is about him... 

 I sigh, and continue to write the poem. 

I had a dream about finding the perfect guy

 He had chocolate brown eyes 

 And a smile that would give me butterflies 

 I wish that he was mine

 His words send shivers down my spine  

I take a deep breath, and finish the last two lines of the poem. 

 He doesn’t know that I have feelings for him 

And thinking if he doesn’t like me back makes the lights in my head dim 

Nope. I can’t do this. I can’t turn this in. I take it, fold it in half, and stick it in my Journal. 

I don't know why I kept the poem, but part of me wanted to. 

 I take out a new piece of paper and write a new poem.

 ~ Tyler ~ 

I had taken some time to think about someone. And that would be Alex. 

 I know that I can’t go up and tell her that I like her. There’s no way! She has a boyfriend, and I just need to move on. 

And I decided to do something today.

 I asked a girl out. 

 Her name is Jessica. She’s really nice and pretty. 

 Later in the afternoon, we met up again. 

 “ Hey Jess.” I say, smiling, as take our hands and hold them as we walk to English class.  

 “ Hey.” she says, smiling back. 

 We head in the classroom and sit down. 

I just realized something. 

 The poem that I wrote is about Alex. Not Jessica. 

 My heart started to race. 

 Would Alex figure it out? I hope not... 

 Alex comes into the room and sees Jessica and I together and looks confused. 

 “ Are you guys..um.. Together?” 

“ Ya.” 

 “ Well I’m happy for you Tyler.” she says, putting on a smile. 

 “ Thanks.” I say, smiling back. 

 ~ Alex ~ 

My heart just sank.  

Tyler has a girlfriend. 

And the girlfriend isn’t me. 

 But why should I be like this? I have a boyfriend, and I should be happy too! 

 But I’m not. 

 We then take turns reading our poems to the class. 

 I listened to Tyler’s poem, and it kind of sounded like he was talking about me... 

But apparently Jessica thought it was about her, seeing her smile at him as he was reading it aloud. 

 Class was soon over, and we walked out of the classroom and headed separate ways.  

“ Hey Tyler, I liked the poem that you wrote.” 

 “ Thanks.” he says, smiling. 

 “ Wasn’t it so sweet!” Jessica says, smiling, as he takes Tyler’s hand. 

“ Ya...” I say, quietly.  

I have a feeling that things are just going to get worse.
