Mia Walker has tried to turn over a new leaf...fail. She tried to change herself...fail. But now...just, being herself, being happy. Success! Her house life is terrible, arguing everyday, avoiding people, and drama! But her outside life, it surprisi...

Mia jolts awake as she hears her phone ring. She closes her eyes and groans loudly, she covers eyes and wipes her face. She inhales and she inhales and answers her phone. "Hello?" She asks groggily.
"Mia, hey. It's...it's Clay, Uh I have this Family visit thing for Justin and I can't pick Tyler up today, do you think you'll be able to? I mean I understand if you can't and if you can't then I could just get Tony to--"
"Clay." Mia calls out to him. Clay stops rambling, "Yeah?"
"It's fine, I can pick up Tyler. Okay? I'm not falling off the deep end yet." Mia chuckles as she sits up and swings her legs over the bed. She stands up slowly, "Mia?" Clay says quietly.
Mia looks at the ground, "Yes?" She questions him.
"I'm here for you. You know I'm here for you, in whatever way. Okay?" Clay says softly. Mia painfully swallows the lump that formed in her throat. She smiles softly, "Thank you, Clay. And...I'm sorry for what I said to you yesterday, it's just...everything was getting to me." Mia runs a hand through her hair.
Clay shakes his head, "No. I understand, believe me." Clay speaks.
Clay's mom speaks in the background, "I've got to go, Mia. I'll see you later?" He asks. Mia nods her head even though Clay couldn't see her, "Of course, I'll see you later." She speaks.
Mia hangs up the phone and exhales. She quickly takes a shower and gets ready for school. She quickly runs down the stares and grabs a bagel. She sees a note on the refrigerator and she grabs it and skims through it. She places her bagel in her mouth and sighs. 'The police station again?'
Mia grabs her keys and walks out of the house. She parks outside of Tyler's house and pops her gum as she scrolls through her phone. Her mom's caller I.D. pops up and she answers the phone as her heart begins to beat unevenly. "Mom?"
"Mia, did you hear about the news?" Nora asks her daughter. Mia straightens her back and clenches her jaw. "N-No...why? What's going on?" Mia asks quickly.
A silence develops over the phone and Nora sighs, "The police have concluded that Bryce was...shot..." Nora says quietly trying not to cry. Mia feels her stomach drop and she quickly looks up at Tyler's house with wide eyes. "Oh my god..." She says with a shaky tone. The door opens to the house and Tyler walks out.
Mia inhales and holds her breath for a second. "M-Mom...I've got to go, I have to get to school." Mia croaks. Nora clears her throat, "Uh--yeah, of course, just...be careful. I love you."
Mia smiles softly, "I love you, too" The line become dead and Mia puts her phone as Tyler gets closer. He looks at her with a bit of shock. He gets into the passenger seat and Mia gives him a small smile. "Mia, hey...I heard about Bryce...I'm really sorry that you have to go through this." Tyler says.
Mia looks at him and bites her lip, "Thank you, Ty..." Mia says quietly. He nods his head, "Wh-where's Clay?" He asks.
"Oh, he had a family thing. I know you wanted him here." Mia says to him. Tyler shakes his head, "No, no...of course not. Honestly, I kind of am more comfortable with you and Clay." He says with a smirk.
Mia smiles triumphantly. "Thanks, you have no idea how much I needed that today." She says with a chuckle. Mia stops smiling and she chews on her thumbnail, "Hey, where's the gun, that you were trying to get rid of?" Mia asks.
Tyler opens his mouth, "I don't have it on me, right now. I was going to give it to Clay after school." He answers. Mia inhales as she gets worried, but she decided to leave it alone. Tyler could never kill Bryce. Mia knew that.
"And how are you after...Montgomery and everything?" Mia asks quietly. Tyler tenses up, but once he looked into Mia's eyes he saw the warmness he was confused. He furrows his brows and Mia tilts her head slightly. "What?" She asks him.
Tyler smiles and shakes his head, "Nothing it's just...after...everything you've been through, you still smile and, support me...why?" He asks timidly, scared that she would get angry.
Mia raises her brows and inhales, "Well...I because, I care about you Tyler. You're my friend, and...if my friends aren't happy and safe, then why should I be?" She shrugs her shoulders like it's no big deal.
Tyler smiles, "Everyone's lucky to have you as a friend." He says as he buckles his seat. Mia snorts and shakes her head, "I don't know about that..." She says as she starts the car and drives off.
Mia works on her book and looks up at Tyler with furrowed eyes. She saw him on his laptop and she bites the inside of her cheek. She leans forward, "Hey, Ty?" She says to him.
He looks up from his laptop and raises his brows, "Yeah?"
"Are you...okay?" Mia asks him. Tyler clenches his jaw, "Wh-WHat do you mean?" He asks her. Mia opens her mouth, "Do you remember...when I sat with you on my first day back, after...overdosing?" Mia asks him. Tyler slightly nods his head.
"And...you told me that you saw John, and me hurt?...Well, I had this kind of...look in my eyes back then, and Tyler..." Mia looks down at her cup and feels her hands shake. "You have that same look in your eye." Mia states.
Tyler felt his head become light headed. "Tyler...did something happen to you?" She asks quietly. "You obviously, don't have to tell me if you don't, want to--"
"It was Monty..." Tyler whispers. Mia swallows the lump in her throat as she feels anger course through her. "Tyler, what did he do?" Mia asks. Tyler looks up from his coffee with red eyes. Judging by the look in his eyes, Mia knew that she was going to have to beat Montgomery to the ground.
A/N: Hey, guys! So I'm trying to do something different and split the stories and making them shorter, I hope that's cool.
