My Happiness Before His - Jyler [HHBM SEQUEL]

eleven

Upon waking up, everything that had happened last night came back to him. He felt the dull pain of a headache, but his memory was very clear.

He sat up and looked over to his right and surely enough, Tyler was laying besides him with the blanket lazily draped over his body.

"Fuck." He cursed as he looked away and tugged at his hair. Everything had felt right last night, but now, he hated that it happened.

"What a great way to start the year." He muttered to himself and sighed as he glanced over at Tyler once again.

He thought about lying his way out, but the visible love bites on Tyler's neck were his biggest giveaway.

"Dammit! This wasn't supposed to happen! Why the hell did I let it happen. He's going to hate me for this." He said and got up from the bed.

He picked up his clothes and walked over to the bathroom. He was hoping to be able to shower and get out of here before Tyler woke up.

It hadn't taken much time before Tyler started to stir. He groaned as he felt a pounding in his head and the brightness of the room hurting his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes to clear his vision before he slowly sat up as he felt a slight pain between his legs.

He rubbed his temples as he thought back to what happened last night. He had obviously slept with someone, but he wanted to know who it had been.

He tried his best to remember who he had walked up those stairs with, but was left empty handed.

His memory was fuzzy and couldn't make out who it had been, but he was sure that who ever it was, was going to have scratch marks on their back. He closed his eyes and leaned on his hands to try and calm the headache he had.

Flinching when he heard the bathroom door open. He looked up and his eyes widened when he saw that it was Justin. He quickly looked away and pulled the blanket higher to his waist.

"How are you feeling? You sure drank a whole lot last night." Justin said and Tyler looked up at him. He noticed how Justin was trying his best to avoid eye contact with him.

"What happened last night? Who the fuck did I sleep with?" Tyler asked and the second Justin heard what he said, he turned away from Tyler.

He knew he had to tell him the truth if he didn't want to lose Tyler's trust. He turned to face him again and as he made eye contact with Tyler, he couldn't help lie.

"I don't know. When I found you, you were asleep and alone." Justin said and Tyler didn't seem to believe what he was saying.

"So you're telling me that you didn't see anyone walk out of this room? Tell me the truth Justin." Tyler said and brought his knees up to his chest. Wincing as he moved.

"I am, I don't know who you could've slept with Tyler." Justin said and clenched his jaw. He couldn't believe what he was doing.

Tyler sighed and rubbed his temples. "Do you mind turning around so that I can put my boxers on and go to the bathroom to clean myself?" Tyler asked and Justin simply turned around.

Tyler quickly put on his boxers and picked up his clothes and headed into the bathroom. Once closing the door, he leaned against it and sighed as he tried his best to recollect his memory.

He shook his head and removed his boxers, getting into the shower. He made sure to keep it short, but relaxed to help him with the headache he had.

He knew he had drank a lot, but wondered how much since he hadn't felt sick yet. He sighed and turned off the water.

He grabbed a random towel and dried himself off. And as he did, he noticed a few faint love bites on his inner thighs.

He put his boxers on and grimaced that he didn't have any extra clothes so had to wear what he had been wearing again.

He sat on the toilet and looked over the love bites. His eyebrows furrowing in confusion.

There was only one person that he allowed to leave love bites on his inner thighs. He stood up and walked in front of the mirror.

He gasped and his eyes widened when he saw that his neck was littered with love bites. Most of them were slightly faint, but they were there.

How he hadn't noticed them when he walked in, bewildered him. And as he looked at them closely, he felt his eyes water.

They were all in places that one person knew that he liked them there. A stranger couldn't have known. His fists clenched angrily and harshly rubbed away the tears in his eyes.

He put the rest of the clothes on and angrily walked out of the bathroom. "How dare you lie to me!" Tyler yelled angrily as Justin looked up at him with his jaw clenched.

"You're the only person that knows how and where I like hickeys on me! Did you think I wouldn't have figured it out or notice?!"

"Then what did you want me to say? Oh yeah, I was the one who fucked you last night while you were drunk out of your mind." Justin said sassily and soon after he said that, he realized he messed up.

"Oh, so not only did you just lie to me, but you took advantage of my drunken self. I hope you had a good fuck." And with that, Tyler pulled out his phone as he quickly made his way out the room and house

"Tyler!" Justin called out, but Tyler ignored him and continued to make his way out the house.

He maneuvered his way through passed out people laying on the floor. He wiped away his angry tears and blocked out any voice that called him.

He decided against calling anybody and simply walking back to his apartment. He needed time to think all of this through.

And just as he was getting lost in his thoughts, someone pulled him back by the arm. "Stop being such a bitch and listen to me!" Justin sneered and Tyler pushed him away.

"Don't fucking touch me." Tyler said through gritted teeth, but that didn't faze Justin.

"No, I'm going to make you listen to me. You were the one that came onto me. I was half drunk–"

"Don't even try to blame it all on me. You say you were half drunk, right? Then that means you were still conscious enough to stop and pull away, leaving me there. But instead, you decided not to and simply take advantage at the fact that I wouldn't remember the next day."

Justin pinched the bridge of his nose to calm down at what Tyler was saying. "I wouldn't have made this a big deal if you would have just told me the truth when I asked you. But instead, you lied. Thinking it would be best to hide the fact that you used me when you knew damn right that you should have backed away."

Tyler turned to walk away, but Justin wasn't having it. He wasn't done with the situation.

"Fucking hell Tyler. I know I should have, okay! But I don't know why I didn't." Justin said and Tyler chuckled humorlessly.

"Just stop, stop trying to explain yourself." Tyler had enough of dealing with Justin and simply wanted to go home and sleep off the headache he had.
