Autopiløt

pt. 9

It's been three weeks since the night at Tyler's apartment. He has left me numerous voicemails apologizing, saying that Jenna was gone and that they had been over for awhile, but after my dad how can I trust any cheater again? Even though Tyler and I weren't really together, there was enough emotional and sexually tension between us to be a couple.

I just felt like we were something more, and now everytime I think of him I remeber the way my father cheated on my mother over and over again. He broke my mom down so much the she couldn't even stop him when he kicked my brother and I out. I guess she didn't have any will left, either way I'll never forgive her for that. We were homeless for six months, no money, no jobs.

The silence was iterrupted by my phone beeping, letting me know that I had a missed call and voicemail from Tyler. I hadn't been listening to his messages but something inside told me to play this one.

"Hey Aurora, it's Tyler. I know you haven't been returning my calls, or probably even listening to my messages," He trailed off and took a deep breath. "Look I know you dont want to see me, but if you change your mind Josh and I have a show this Saturday at the little club across from Joey's Pizza. It's nothing much but we decided to start a band with the songs I've written, which you don't know about." Another pause,"Look if you come out tell them Tyler from twenty one pilots sent you. Yeah, we used that name you gave me. I miss you. Bye."

His voice sort of cracks on the last word and my heart breaks. I'm going to that show. Dad or no dad, I can't keep being afraid to live because of what he did. I'm sick of living in the shadows.
