Unexpected

Chapter 10:

"Tyler?" I asked while looking to Luke with a shocked expression.

"Yeah it's me babe. How have you been?" Tyler breathes out on the other line. I can see Luke look at me with gritted teeth. I have told Luke about Tyler but not the whole story.

"Why are you calling me?" I asked getting kind of scared.

"Well Tanner told me he ran into you? So I decided to call, you know, have a little... chat, " he emphasized the word chat witch made me gulp.

"About, about what?" I chewed on my nails. I'm not scared of Tyler. Not at all, I was just in an awkward situation seeing as I haven't talked to him in over two months.

"Us. Meet me?" he pleaded as I could feel myself giving in. My parents always say I'm a people pleaser and sometimes it's not good for me.

"When and were," I sighed not knowing what I was getting into.

"Tomorrow at 5 infront of the bleachers at our old school?" he laughed as I mentally thought of my class times for tusedays then awnsered with a yes and ended the call.

"Was that Tyler?" Luke looked to me with a smushed cone in his fist and ice cream dripping from his finger tips.

"Yes. Don't worry about it okay?" I said while pooring water into a napkin and wiped his hand clean.

"Lets leave," Luke exited towards the car. It's strange how fast he went from happy and confused to angry and protective. I always get the vibe that hes keeping something from me, but who am I to judge him? We all have sercets barried in the darkest parts of us.

We drove to the boys house in silence. I got the feeling Luke was mad at me but I was not going to ask him that now, I have something else to worry about.

-

Luke opend the front door and stormed straight to his room. I walked around the house trying to find the boys as I came across Calum laying in his bed scrolling through twitter. He invited me in the room as I layed next to him on his queen sized bed.

"You okay?" He asked shutting his laptop, letting me know I have his full attention. Calum and I are really close and he always seems to see past my fake smile. He can always cheer me up and knows exactly what to say to make me feel better.I sighed and rolled onto my stomach, diging my face into his pillow.

"Tyler called me," I spoke into the pillow but only muffled sounds came out.

"What the f-" he started before I cut him off,

"How did you understand that?" I can never slip anything past Calum hes like superhuman.

"Cause I'm the best. Why did he call you? What did he say?" he asked laying on his side, facing me.

"He wants to meet with me..." I draged out as confusion covered his face.

"And you said no right?" he asked already knowing the awnser. I nervously smiled at him and he threw his face into his hands.

"God! Why Marie? Did you forget what he did to you? He lead you on when he had a girlfriend. Then when you actually daited he cheated, treated you like you were nothing and he abused you. Marie, he abused you," he looked at me with sympathy.

"I know I know. I just need closure I guess? When I was little I thought that people were stupud for staying with soemone who treats you badly but I couldn't help it. I thought he was the only person who would ever love me after all I had been through, so I stayed," I rolled onto my stomach. He sighed and put his big hand on my back and rubbed comforting circles.
