CAPTIVATED

five

i wake up to my phone buzzing.

i look at the time and it was only seven in the morning.

don't these people ever sleep?

i pick up the phone.

"hello?"
i say, my voice raspy because if you didn't know, tyler woke me up from a very good dream, with him in it.

"hi, come outside."
i could hear the smile in his voice.

without question, i went with it.
"ok. give me a few minutes."
before he could answer back, i hung up.

i slowly got out of bed. still being very sleepy.

i changed my clothes into something actually decent. i brushed my teeth and somewhat brushed my hair.

i put my vans on then went out.

what the hell is happening? why is he here? why did i agree to this? (me everyday)

when i stepped out, i felt cold air rush against my skin, and not in a good way.

"hey."
tyler came out of the dark. it kinda scared me a little.

"hey, what's up?"
i say, looking around. wonder why the hell he wanted me to come down here. if he really wanted to talk, he could have just called me, when he was at his house.

"i have something that i've been wanting to do like forever."
he stepped closer to me. this time i could see the bags under his eyes. he was kind of freaking me out.

"what's that?"
i stepped back a little. this is a little weird.

he stepped closer to me again. a smile on his face as he got closer.

before anything else could happen, his phone rang, loudly.

he quickly took out his phone, turning down the volume and seeing who was calling him at this late hour.

some dude named josh.

"hello?"
tyler said, annoyed.

there was silence for a few seconds until tyler talked again.

"ok josh, i'm sorry but i'm kinda in the middle of something."
he looked up at me and smiled.

i smiled back. standing awkwardly by the apartment door.

"ok josh, bye."
he hung up the phone and laughed a little.

before he could say something, i decided to say something.

"hey, do you want to go to mcdonald's and get some coffee?"
i asked, desperately looking for a way out of this situation.

he looked at me with a slight frown, no more than two seconds later, he smiled again.

"sure."

we got into his car and drove off. i plugged my phone in, getting into a little habit of doing that. than turned my music on.

brain stew by green day

when we got there, we decided to just go through drive thru.

i turned down the music and let tyler speak into the speaker.

"hello, what can i get you guys?"
a girl voice said in a sleepily said.

"hey, can we get to large mocha coffees please." (not even sure if that's even a thing)

"ok, is that all?"
the lady said.

"yeah, that's all."

"ok, go to window one please."
