My Herro (Tyler Herro)

RENEWED FRIENDSHIP

3rd person

not much happened that week. tyler has practice and coralline was moving all her stuff in. the team would come help after practice because she couldn't do much due to the stitches.

she had been pretty bored when she was alone but jimmy and tyler always cheered her up. tyler has been kind of distracted at practice worrying about coralline just because they never found who attacked her.

he finally stopped being distracted when bam talked to him and insured that she was safe now and that he was with her most the time anyways.

CORALLINES POV

it was the day we were leaving for nevada!! i could walk now, but sometimes i needed help because i would get really light headed. the knife went through pretty deep meaning that i should be dead.

even worse it's gonna be a long time if ever i'll be able to play basketball again. tyler has really helped me cope with that and helped me get around and stuff.

i went to the airport by myself and by that i mean with a few of the players girlfriends and wives who were going. everyone thought tyler and i were dating and it took a while to explain our not complicated to me relationship.

i couldn't ride with tyler because he had to ride with the team so while he was on a private jet to nevada, i was on a coach flight stuck with some really nice older people.

when we took off i almost passed out because of the air pressure and my wound. i closed my eyes and tried to catch my breathe and eventually did.

the flight had a few layovers, but i finally made it to los vegas. i had only been once and it was with my aau team for basketball and all i did was sleep and play.

i took an uber from the airport to our hotel we were staying at which of course had casinos in it. i had a hard time being around stuff like that because my dad.

he was not a prominent figure in my life and i don't know why but i always wanted his approval. he had a really bad gambling and alcohol addiction and while he was never seriously abusive he had his nights. he left my mom and i when i was young, and it took a lot for her to not just keep going back to him. (abuse is no joke please get help if you or a loved one is experiencing abusive tendencies wether it be verbal, emotional, or physical. you deserve better❤️)

it was all she knew and i did not blame her. then she met her new boyfriend i guess you could say and i never really had a problem, but was just very iffy of men in general.

tyler was the only guy i ever hung around and he was like no other guy i've ever met. i knew he would never intentionally hurt me although he was a dumb ass at times.

i went up to our room avoiding all the casino games and atms as well as alcohol. it was everywhere. i set my stuff down noticing tylers stuff already there. i texted him asking where he was and he responded saying out eating.

he asked if i wanted to meet them, but i was tired and just wanted to take a shower and sleep. he came back at around 9:30 and came over to my bed seeing if i was awake. i looked at him and laughed grabbing my side because it hurt.

he brought me some food and layed in my bed with me while we watched a movie.

"ty you excited for your nba debut tomorrow?" i asked him poking at his side as i ate some candy.

"very i'm nervous as hell though it's so unlike playing in college what if i'm bad." he said and i paused the tv and put the candy up.

"tyler don't even say that you're gonna be amazing you are always very confident you got to believe yourself." i said looking at him and grabbing his face.

"i don't know this one girl i really care about told me i changed so i just don't want to disappoint her even more." he said looking at me i pushed his face into the pillows and pulled him back up.

"tyler you know i was not in the right mindset when i said that. you've changed for the better in my opinion we needed to spice things up a bit." i laughed pressing play on the remote turning back to the tv.

"oh we can spice things up a bit more come here." he said pulling me towards him acting like he was going to kiss me i decided to play with him a bit.

"ow tyler i think my stitches are messing up." i said grabbing my side acting hurt.

"wait i'm so sorry are you okay? let me see it. do we need to go to the hospital?" he looked at me with a very worried and was about to get out of the bed. i grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down.

"i'm kidding chill you should've seen your face you gat so scared hahha." i said trying to catch my breathe from laughing.

"coralline i thought i seriously hurt you i never want to do that again it was already my fault you ended up stabbed. you just recovered from me busting your eyebrow open. fuck." he said hugging me really tightly.

"well now it actually hurts and tyler never even blame yourself for any of that. i'm serious it was no your fault either time no matter what. i knew i shouldn't of been at the beach at that time." i said looking at him. he grabbed my face and looked at me and we both smiled. he pulled me into another hug.

"let's renew our friendship. forget about the bad stuff in our friendship and focus on all the good that come from it. you saved my life by calling 911 ty."

"to our renewed friendship!" he said holding up his water bottle.

"to our renewed friendship." i said as we tapped water bottles and took a sip immediately busting out laughing.

after that i decided to go to bed because we had to wake up early for his first game. i'm so excited for him and the start of the new chapter in his life.
