Odd Ones Out (MINICAT)

♡Chapter fifty-three♡

Craig's pov

I wake up to Tyler kissing my neck lightly making me giggle as I feel him smirk against my neck.

"Good morning sweetheart, how are you feeling?" He asks softly as I turn to face him. "Better now that you're here." I reply making him chuckle as he sits up.

"Oh yeah, Chelsea texted you about 20 minutes ago asking if we wanted to tag along with her and the others to go get breakfast together." He says as I sit up and get out of bed and stretch. "You know their your friends too right?" I ask as I look over my shoulder at him seeing he was sitting at the edge of the bed. "Yeah I know, I'm just not used to them yet I guess." He replies. I hum and nod as I grab some clothes for both Tyler and I and throw his at him. He looks up at me raising his eyebrow. "We need to shower." His eyes widen a bit making me giggle as he gets up also and heads into the bathroom and turns the shower on while I text Chelsea back saying we were getting ready now and would meet her there.

After doing so I throw my phone on the bed and go into the bathroom where Tyler was already in the shower and undress myself and get in also.

He smirks at me before slamming me into the wall and kissing me hungrily making me moan. His hand immediately goes down to my groin area making me moan louder. I push on his shoulder a bit making him pull away. "We don't h-have time T-Tyler." I pant slightly. He snickers and continues where he left off making me moan again.

"I'll make it quick then." He smirks making my eyes go wide before moaning loudly but covering my mouth quickly after.

"Nice catch." He grins as he speeds up making me throw my head back. I grab his head and pull him down and kiss him hard. "Just shut up and keep going." I pant.

"Will do."

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

"I think I'm gonna save up to buy a car." I say as Tyler pays the uber driver and we walk into the restaurant Chelsea told me they were at. "Good luck with that babe." Tyler replies as he opens the door for me. I giggle and thank him before walking in and scanning the room until landing on Chelsea and the others. I nudge Tyler's arm and nod my head in their direction. We make our way over to see that not everyone was here yet, meaning Ariana, Sami and Luke.

"Hey guys! Glad you could make it!" Lucas exclaims as he greets us. We thank them as I sit beside Chelsea at the end of the table as Tyler sits between Marcel and Lucas at the other end of the table.

"Are you okay? Like after last night and everything?" Chelsea asks quietly as she leans more closer to me. "Yeah, Tyler helped a lot when we got back to the dorm." I reply while glancing to Tyler who was happily chatting with Marcel and Lucas. It made me smile knowing they were friends again, the two were super close before and after what happened it was like a part of Tyler was missing and I felt like it was all my fault. So I'm happy their friends again.

The others soon arrive and we all order our food. I glance at Tyler every once in awhile to make sure him and Marcel were doing okay before focusing back on my own conversations.

That's when I get a phone call from an unknown number. I excuse myself from the table and go to the bathroom that was thankfully empty and accept the call.

"Hello? Who is this?" I ask nicely through the phone. "Is this Craig Thompson?" The person on the other line asks. "Yes it is." I reply confusedly.

"We called to inform you that your father had a heart attack last night."

My breathing hitches slightly as my eyes widen. "T-thank you for l-letting me k-know." I reply before hanging up and dropping my phone in the sink.

I inhale through my nose and exhale out my mouth until I compose myself enough to grab my phone and quickly walk out of the bathroom and back to the table where the others were and grab my jacket and whisper to Chelsea that I was going out for a smoke then leaving. She gave a worried look towards me, as if asking what was wrong so I lean down and whisper. "My dad had a heart attack." Then leave before she could chase after me.

It was raining hard outside when I stepped out of the restaurant. The air around me moist and fresh but I didn't give two shits as I bolted down the sidewalk with so many thoughts going through my mind as tears rolled down my cheeks.

I must have lost track of where I was going because next thing I know I was deep in an alley, far from the eye of others. I lean back against the wall and start sobbing uncontrollably.

Why the fuck am I acting like this?! He treated me like shit, like I meant nothing to him. If anything I should be happy he had a heart attack but I feel more worried than anything. 

"Hey sir! Hey you right there!" A man's voice rings throughout the alley way making me look up to see a man who looks to be a little bit older than me and as tall as Tyler was. His eyes widen once he realizes I was crying and gives me a concerned face. "What's wrong?" He asks nicely. I saw no harm in telling this nice man so I did.

"I was just told my dad had a heart attack." After that I start sobbing again. The man immediately sits beside me on the ground and holds his umbrella above me instead of him. "I'm so sorry." He whispers as he wraps his arm around my shoulders and pulls me towards him. I don't resist and instead rest my head in his chest as I cry my heart out.

"Do you by any chance have a cigarette I could borrow?" I ask, lifting my head from his chest and looking at him. He smiles and nods before taking out a pack and handing me one. I thank him and light it and inhale the smoke, suddenly feeling calmer then before.

"What's your name young man?" He asks as he shifts slightly. "Craig, Craig Thomspon, and you?" I ask glancing at him. His eyes widen. "U-uh my name is Chris Webster." He stutters. I hum before starting to feel slightly dizzy, weird.

All of a sudden I drop the cigarette as the feel in my hand becomes numb. My head whips up to Chris when I see him smiling devilishly at me. My eyes widen as I look to the knife that was in his right hand.

"C-Chris please." I plead as I try backing up into the wall and away from him but to no use as he had me cornered. He grins and slides the knife under my chin making me look up at him, into his almost grey lifeless eyes.

"Craig!? Craig are you here?!" Chelsea yells from somewhere near by. I try yelling back but Chris covers my mouth, muffling the noises I was trying to make.

He trails the knife down my cheek and pulls me closer to his face. I try pushing him away but with my whole body feeling numb it was kinda hard. "Oh Craig, you owe me something that your family took away from me." He smirks as I shake under his touch. "I-I don't owe you shit." I hiss back, my jaw clenched hard. He chuckles darkly as he presses the knife down a bit into my cheek, creating a deep cut there as tears well up in my eyes.

"CRAIG!" A voice shouts causing our heads to turn to see Chelsea and Marcel at the end of the alley. I smile but my eyes widen as a shooting pain forms in my left thigh. I glance down to see that Chris had stabbed my thigh before taking the knife out making me scream in eugene) as he starts running away.

"GET BACK HERE YOU FUCKING BITCH!" A new voice shouts before someone ran past me and tackled Chris to the ground. After a few seconds I notice it was Tyler. "Tyler he has a k-knife!" I warn as Chris takes out his knife and was about to stab Tyler too but Tyler kicks the knife out of his hand and into his own.

I started losing focus as Marcel and Chelsea came to my side, shouting things at me but I couldn't hear what they were saying as a sudden ringing in my ears took over my sense of hearing. I stumbled a bit and that's when I blacked out.
