My Best Friend's Daughter

This isnt Goodbye

Tyler's POV
Today my dad is dropping me off at a rehab center for eating disorders. I'm getting help. It's going to be an emotional day. Vince knows about it. I'm going to be doing a two month thing. AJ, Summer, John, and everyone else thinks that I'm going back home to help my mom get ready for her wedding and the baby. I'm not. I told my dad that I don't my mom in life anymore and he agreed with me. Leigh knows about the this and is with us to drop me off. We are at the hotel. We leave in an hour. Last night we had a small good bye party. Dean wasn't there. He's been ignoring me and staying away since I told them about the disorder.
" Hey, Ty someone's here to talk to you" Leigh says.
"Who is it" I ask as I finish up some packing.
" It's Dean. I'll give you two some alone time. We're leaving in twenty minutes" she says. She lets him in and walks away. The first couple minutes was awkward silence.
" Hey" Dean finally says. I look at him and he's a mess.
" Hey" I reply back.
" Look I'm sorry about acting like this. I don't know how to deal with this." He says holding back tears. I run over to him and we hug. He's crying. I wipe the tears away and kiss his nose.
" I don't know how either" I say. He grabs my hands.
" We can figure it out together" he whispers. We kiss as tears roll down our cheeks. We stay like that for little bit.
" Ty, it's time to go" Leigh says knocking on the door. She doesn't open it. We kiss one more time.
" Get better" he whispers to my lips. I nod and walk to the door to leave. I don't turn around. I can't. It would hurt to much to look back at the only man I ever loved, my dad's best friend.
" Wait, Ty" Dean says graving my wrist before I open the door. I turn. " This isn't goodbye, right?" He asks holding back tears.
"No it's a see ya later" I say looking in his eyes. He smiles and kisses me one last time.
