You only live once

Chapter 7

Tyler's POV

After I ran away from the cafe I make my way to my house, as I pass by the park I notice a couple smiling and laugh I sigh and continue walking. I think to myself was my mom and dad happy back then were we one big happy family.

I shake my head and put it towards the back of my mind I get to my house and reach into my pocket. I pull out the keys and unlock the door I push it open and enter. When I'm inside I close the door and lock it up.

I take off my shoes and head to the kitchen I grab the handle of the fridge and open it. I notice we don't have much food left, I groan and make myself some Pb&J. I sit down at the table and replayed mine and Hayley's conversation in my head.

I get she was trying to help, but sometimes people just wanna be left alone. I push the sandwich to the side and cross my arms on the table i lay my head down and keep replaying our convo and smile at how caring she was trying to be and how her eyes held a caring look.

I groan and lift my head up. I decide to go apologize to her, I get up and go upstairs to my room. I open,the door and head to my backpack on the chair. I open it and dig through it looking for the paper with her address on it.

I find it and pull it out, I stuff it into my pocket and head downstairs. I grab my coat and my keys I exit the house making sure to lock the door. I hope on my motorcycle and stick the key in starting it. I back outta the driveway and make my way to her house.

As I'm driving I keep replaying the conversation we had and how amazing she was so,sweet and caring even to a stranger like me who she barely knew. I rev the engine and speed up. After about an hour I get to a huge house I park against the curb.

I get off and grab the keys I head up to her house and knock on the door. I waited a few minutes before someone peeked out from the window I sent it was Hayley her eyes widen and she threw open the door. She tackled me in a hug crying, I wrapped my arms around her.

I pull away but keep her at arms length I look at her face and see she has tears streaming down her face and I see a bruise slowly forming. I frown and say " Hayley are you OK what's wrong what happened". She grabbed my arm and pulled me inside.

I get inside and she closes the door and locks it I see a man in about his 40s he looks to be her dad. He looks at me and holds out his hand I shake it, and he says "nice to meet you I'm Steven hayley's father". I smile and say I'm Cody her friend nice to meet u sir".

After introductions she lead me to the living room I sit on the couch and her dad sits on the couch chair. She comes from the kitchen with hot chocolate for us. I take it and thank her she sits down on the couch next to me and lays her head on my shoulder. I say " what happened are u ok".

She begins to explain what happened after I left I was furious that someone would hit her like that. She noticed me shaking and gripping my cup hard she put her hands on mine and I slowly calmed. She says "its ok Cody I'm fine". I sigh and say "ya but no guy should hit a girl".

Her dad agreed we sat down and talked more about what to do outta nowhere there was a loud banging on the door a voice said " Hayley its Brandon i know your home answer your door now". I frown and me and her dad get up to answer the door Hayley follows hiding behind me.

Her dad throws open the door and we see him standing their smirking he looks at me and Hayley behind me and frowns he says " who the hell is this u sleeping around now". I was furious I said "no I'm a friend of hers I know about what u did your a low life who shouldn't of ever been born".

He glares at me and says " who the fuck do you think you are" I smirk and say " more of a man then you'll ever be". He curls his hand into a fist...
