Odd Ones Out (MINICAT)

♡Chapter seventeen♡

Tyler's POV

"You sure you wanna go to school today? I ask Craig who was pulling a sweater over his head. He looks to me and nods, placing a small smile across his face.

Ever since he tried to kill himself a few days ago I haven't left his side, I'm honestly surprised he hasn't told me to leave because I've been on him about everything. I'm too scared to leave him alone even for a second, what if it happens again? I won't be there to help him or even save him. And that scares the living shit out of me.

"Are you gonna tell me what's gotta you like this?" I ask as I watch him get ready. He turns to me and shakes his head, making me groan and fall back. He hasn't told me why he tried to kill himself, he said he think's I'll go crazy or some shit, he's most likely right though.

"I love you." I find myself saying. He turns to me and smiles. "I love you too." I grin and push myself off his bed and go over to him. He giggles and moves into my lap, his legs on either side of me as his arms wrap around my neck. I settle my hands on his thighs and look up at him. I grab his left arm and slowly push the sleeve up showing the graze, blood slowly soaking through it. I frown and look back up to him.

"Why?" I whisper. He rolls his eyes and gets up out of my lap. I sigh and get up also, following him as he walks out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. He makes two pieces of toast and shoves mine in my mouth and giggles. I roll my eyes playfully as he takes a bite from his.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Text me if you start feeling weird okay?" I tell him. He rolls his eyes but grins. "Yes mom, don't worry." I chuckle and pull him towards me, hugging him tightly. I pull away from him and look around, making sure no one was around before kissing him. "I'll be back either midway through second or lunch." He nods and runs off. I lean back against my car and watch him go inside the school.

Sighing, I get into my car and pull out of the parking lot of the school and head to starbucks to get Craig and I frappes cause I know if something bad does happen this will help, and plus their fucking delicious so I'm fine with driving across town just to get these drinks.

I dropped Craig off at the school midway through first period, and so it wouldn't look suspicious I didn't go in. Like I told him I would be coming back either midway through second or lunch.

Craig's POV

I was waiting impatiently for Tyler to walk through the door. When I got here Jonathan would not stop asking me what happened and why I wasn't at school, same with Brock. It was honestly the most annoying thing ever, so I was really looking forward to when Tyler was arriving.

Just then my phone went off.

"Go to your locker."

I raise my eyebrow at the text from Tyler. I shrug and raise my hand, I panic though when the sleeve goes down a bit and shows some of the graze. I quickly fix it so that I'm holding onto the end of the shirt.

"Yes Craig?" The teacher answers. "Can I use the bathroom?" She nods making me smile and get up quickly.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Ty?" His head preks up from his phone and a smile forms on his lips when he sees me. My eyes move to the drink he was holding, he notices and hands it to me. "For you, my love." He says. I giggle and take it, sipping from it as I look back to him.

"Wait I can't go back to class with this, people will start getting curious and shit." I say catching Tyler's attention. He hums then smirks. "Why not skip?" I giggle and lean on him. "I've missed so much already, my grades are dropping as well." I say. He rolls his eyes and kisses the side of my head. "Come on, I know this amazing place we can go to." I turn my head to him and cock an eyebrow. "Fine, but if I get in trouble you're not getting this for a week." I point to my ass as he widens his eyes and takes a sip from his frappe. "Whatever, grab your jacket and meet me out front." He says before walking away. I sigh and open my locker and grab my jacket.
