Tell Me Who?

Chapter 7

This weekend was an emotional wreck for me. My best friend no longer lives close to me. A lot of things have changed in my life since I moved back. I barely have a month here almost and I can't bear it.

Zack has helped me a lot by not leaving me alone. My mother finally accepted him which is good. He has really shown himself to be different. Every day, he brings me something, flowers, chocolates or food.

Tyler is still on my mind every single day and night. I guess, he will never go away in my mind but I'm not missing him anymore. This is all due to me trying to get my life back together again.

Today is Monday, and I have been calling all the jobs I applied to. They all say the same thing, that they will call back, no one ever does. My mother keeps insisting to keep calling but I'm over it.

I'm going for a walk to distract myself from all this.

"Hey," He says barely being able to be heard. I can't believe he is actually here. After a whole month, here he stands right in front of me. His arm is cast like his right leg, he has scars all over and I can tell he has not showered in days.

"What are you doing here...Tyler?," My voice is so slow that my question is barely understandable. Why now? He could have come for me the minute I left.

"I had an accident at work, and the doctor told me I couldn't work anymore," He says moving towards me with his crutches,

"So I'm guessing you finally decided to quit," I told him so many times but he never listened. We would've been together, and not in this awkward situation. I only hope he doesn't make problems for Zack and me.

When I'm barely going to walk to him, his uncle's truck appears. We say our goodbyes and he jumps inside of it. I watch as Zack's dad looks at me worried. He probably knows, Tyler being here isn't going to go well.

Zack is supposed to be coming for me close to six. The time says it's 5:30, and somehow I'm having trouble breathing. My head is spinning with so many questions.

What will Zack say?

What if they fight?

What if...I go back to Tyler?

And Zack hates me?

The closer the time gets, the more I panic.

"Hey, how was your day?." Did he just ask me how was my day? That is unusual for him. He must know something or what if I'm just being paranoid. I need to calm myself down before I make things worst.

"Fine. How was yours...Tyler is back." This why I hate myself.

He stopped the car, I can tell this is the end. "I know, he got here this morning," Zack is so calm like what is going on. I was expecting a scene. A jealous scene that would end up in an argument.

"You are okay with that?," I ask him super confused by his reaction. When he turns to look at me and crashes his lips on mine. The kiss answers all my questions and I find myself liking him more. Zack is confident and sure that I'm over him.

After, clearing everything with Zack, I get home feeling so much better. He is okay with it and so should I. I'm with Zack now, and I should stay away from him. Even though, I still need closure from him. For Zack, I won't get close to him again.

My phone is vibrating it must be Cecil calling. I texted her right after Tyler left. When I check my phone: Zack is calling me...

"Hey, Tyler is very sick. My dad and I can't take care of him. I know it's not going to be easy for you, but can you check on him tomorrow."

Check on Tyler?. He better not be faking this because I will kill him.

Sure...I will go tomorrow morning." I can't believe I'm actually saying yes to this. Tyler and I alone it's not a good idea. How am I supposed to take care of him, after he broke my heart?.

"Thanks, babe, good night....love you." He finally said it, I can't believe he said it. Zack just said he loved me and through the phone. This day for sure has been full of surprises from both of them.
