All I want (twenty one pilots fanfiction)

Chapter twenty nine

[a/n] kind of short (2 pages on word i guess)and a little later than expected. I got a new laptop and the keyboard is kind of different so sorry if there are ay typos (if it bugs you, please point them out ad i'll try to fix it) thanks for reading etc :)

Paige had a different idea though. Instead of shutting up about Tyler, she just continued to bring it up. “so. Tell me about him. How’d you both meet? Where does he go to school? What is it that makes you like him? How does he kiss?” Paige asked, smirking at the last question.  Sighed and walked inside f her house.“Well,” I started as I sat down on the couch while Paige turned on the tv, “we met on a bus a while back, shortly before my parents came here. It was kind of weird but I thought he was cute and when we got off the bus he asked for my number or something. Turned out his sister and I are playing for the same basketball club.”

“Oh, right! Basketball, how’s that going?” Paige broke in. “Can’t believe you still play. You’ve always been pretty good at it though.”

“Yeah, I still play. It’s still fun but I obviously haven’t gone to training much lately. I don’t have a starting position since I just transferred to a higher team but it’s fun. There are some nice girls on the team, I guess.”

“Okay, cool! Good to hear. But now continue about Tyler. You guys met on a bus.”

“Yeah well, after we got home we texted a bit I guess and we went out a few times, to like, forests and stuff. Thought it was pretty cool and I had a lot of fun and I guess I just gradually started to like him more and more and once I stopped denying that I did, it actually felt even better. So yeah, I guess I just do. And I don’t know why. He just does these things that make my heart melt and he’s sweet and nice and cute and I like him a lot.”

“Jen, oh  my gosh, you’re smiling like an idiot. It’s great to see you like this, I’m so happy. This is totally the cutest thing ever.”

I smiled at the ground and felt Paige hug me. I hugged back and told her I’d missed her for the thousandth time. “But remember what I said back at the beach? How he barely even texts me back, et cetera? It’s just so fricking confusing and it kind of does bug me.”

“Yeah, I can imagine…” Paige sighed. “But I mean, maybe he is just very busy. He is in LA after all, he probably had to pack and all that, and maybe he’s exploring the city. And maybe he is kind of ashamed, or confused too. Maybe he did kiss you by impulse and he could be afraid of your reaction. He’s probably just very nervous. Or something. I bet it’s nothing personal, Jen. And now I want to post a selfie on Instagram.”

She took a few selfies and we picked the best one together and both posted it. For the rest of the day, we continued to talk the past and how things had changed over here, and I also got my fair share venting about Audrey and Zoey. “Tell them to fuck themselves.” Was the great advice that Paige had given me, and honestly, I totally agreed.

Paige drove me back to my grandparents around 5, where me and grandma cooked dinner. We decided on going to the zoo tomorrow, even if the weather wouldn’t be great. Granddad would have to go to the hospital for a checkup the day after and they’d probably give him a medication boost. Usually he wouldn’t feel great after that for a day or two.  Chemo was still not in it for him though. He wouldn’t want it.

We continued making food, talking about school and tv shows and I showed my grandma some photo’s Tyler had taken at my graduation. We then had dinner with my granddad and in the evening we decided to watch a movie. First my grandma said that I should’ve hung out with my friends, because now I had the chanche and I’d be with them tomorrow too and “we’re way too boring to be around for so long for a teenage girl like you.” But I disagreed and preferred to spend some quality time with my grandparents.

Perhaps grandma was right, maybe it would have been more fun to hang out with my friends, but honestly I wouldn’t change the look they had in their eyes when I said I’d stay home with them for anything. They both looked so happy and grateful and my grandparents are just such cute people.

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

The next moment I woke up on the couch, living room dark except for the light in the kitchen that was left on. I checked my phone and saw that it was 3 AM. I decided that, for the sake of my back, it’d be a better idea to walk to the bedroom. I picked up the blankets and quietly shuffled to the room upstairs, trying not to wake my grandparents. As soon as I laid my head down, my thoughts drifted back to that night when I fell asleep while watching movies with Tyler. I should probably train myself at not falling asleep during movies. Anyways, this was different from that night. Which was probably a good thing?

I closed my eyes and tried to find back sleep, but it felt kind of impossible since the room was pretty cold. I walked over to the closet to get some warmer pajamas and some thick socks and then sat down on the bed. I took out my phone and posted a tweet, “when you fall asleep during a movie….          again” and then opened my texting app, surprisingly I had a new text. Sent at eleven, by Audrey. “How’s westcoast?” she asked. I replied something among the words of “Great so far :) thanks for asking. Anything going on in Columbus?” and attached a photo of me, Scott, Paige and Olivia. I didn’t expect a reply soon since it was pretty early over there, so I went on Instagram and scrolled through the timeline. Tyler hadn’t posted anything, but he had liked the photo of me and Paige. Josh did post something, a photo of his taco bell. I felt my eyes get a bit heavier again, so I scrolled to twitter quickly, seeing some tweets from Josh about cats, one from Tyler about the new album, which actually excited me a lot, and a tweet from Mark about batman. The other things on my timeline weren’t nearly as interesting, so I decided to just go to sleep again.
