Chapter 18 ~ Why Do I Hurt So Many People?
Kelly POV:
What Tyler was doing at my house at two-thirty in the morning, I didn't really know at first, but I planned to ask him. We sat on the couch.
"Tyler?" I asked.
He looked up at me with the pretty eyes that I missed, oh so badly.
"Yeah..?" He asked.
"What.... What are you doing here?"
I said, trying to keep myself calm.
Kino ran up to Tyler and jumped in his lap.
"Kino! Hey buddy, I missed you..."
He said.
"He isn't the only one who missed you." I said to him.
Tyler looked at me.
I sighed.
"So... You're all alone here?"
He asked.
"Of course. I mean, who else would be here?" I asked him.
He was silent.
"I wouldn't move on that fast, Tyler."
I shook my head.
"Uh... Well, I don't know what to say."
He stuttered.
"You know... I love you. Still. But... Why? Why is it so... Awkward to say it?" I asked.
"Because I love someone else."
My heart felt like it was being crushed.
"Right."
He looked up.
"I'm sorry, Kel-"
"No, Tyler.. It's.. It's fine." I stood up from the couch and crossed my arms.
"Kelly. I know it isn't fine." he said.
He went to hug me, but I don't like being touched when I was like this.
I pushed away.
"Kelly."
"No, don't. You know not to touch me." I said.
"Kelly!" He went to hug me, again.
"I just wish you told me sooner!"
I screamed.
Tyler stopped.
Kino ran from the couch into my room, shivering.
"Listen, I'll leave." Tyler stood up.
"I don't want you to." I said.
He sighed.
"I just honestly miss the way things used to be. Is that bad? But you obviously don't! You love Craig now. You win. I'm just another ex-girlfriend that you want to get out of your head. The one that is constantly wanting you back. Even though you don't feel the same." I said.
"Kelly, I still love you. I still do. I just... It's hard to explain, okay? I don't love you like I love Mini. If I could only show you. " He said.
"Mini." I laughed.
"I remember how I would watch you record and you would goof off with them all the time. And I was friends with him, too. And I don't even imagine you had that side to you, that you were developing feelings for him. I never imagined you could be more than friends with him. I mean, of course people imagine it. Of course they ship it or whatever the hell they do when they write fanfics. But those were all fiction! They aren't supposed to happen! I was so shocked. " I breathed.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know at the time either." he told me.
"I know it sounds like I hate you. I know it sounds like I blame you, but I really don't. I just miss you. And I don't want to say it, but I do wish we were still together and everything with him... Didn't happen." I said.
"I know, Kelly. I know."
He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.
I turned to him.
I longed to hug him and kiss his cheek like we did years ago.
I longed to see him stop being so sad and to see him wrap Kino up in the blanket again as Kino licked his face.
I longed to see him pick me up playfully and throw me the bed and throw pillows at me.
I longed to play video games with him and beat his ass at Pokemon or League of Legends.
I longed to watch him record and laugh along with his friends.
I longed to ride in the car with him again, anywhere, holding his hand and the wind blowing in our hair.
I wanted to hear him smile and whisper, "I love you."
Just like he used to.
I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
Tyler POV:
It was just an awkward silence as I leaned against 'our' walls.
She was staring at me.
She wasn't mad.
But the look on her face that I knew so well told me that she was thinking.
Thinking about what.
I looked in her eyes.
She finally looked back into my eyes.
Tears suddenly overflow her cheeks.
She crossed her arms as if to hold herself together and slid down and kneeled on the floor.
"Kelly..." I stood up and walked over to her.
She was silently crying.
I took her into my arms and sat down with her.
She sobbed into my chest.
"I know it hurts." I said.
Kino ran to us and pushed his head up under her arm.
"I promise you that you'll be okay."
She looked up at me.
"I just miss it."
"I know. I do sometimes, too." I said.
"I'm sorry, Tyler." She stood up.
"Sorry? You don't have to be sorry."
I told her.
"I do. I should be happy for you. I am... But..." she said.
"I know what you mean." I said.
She wiped her face and smiled.
"Let's get some sleep."
"Guest room?" I asked.
She nodded.
"Well, goodnight, Kelly." I said, heading to the guest bedroom.
"Goodnight, Tyler." she smiled.
She headed to her room.
I layed in our old guest room and Kino layed down with me.
"Hey, buddy. It's been a while."
Kino nipped at the blankets.
"Yeah, I missed you, too."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Craig POV:
I missed Tyler.
I had no idea where he was.
I was so lost.
I was so scared.
I walked up to the Travelodge.
A girl with a sloppy brown braid walked to the cash register.
She looked up.
"OH... MY... GOD! KEEGAN!" she smiled at me and yelled.
I blushed. She must be a fan.
But she's so... Adorable.
She started freaking out.
A boy rushed to her.
"Yes? What's wrong, Hannah??"
"Well, you know how we met Cartoonz in Colorado??! Look! It's MiniLadd!!" she smiled.
I smiled back.
"Hello." I waved.
"Are you staying here?" She asked.
"Just for tonight." I said.
"Where are the other guys?"she asked.
"Oh.. It's a long story." I said.
"Oh, it's okay, I understand."
She smiled.
She was very pretty.
"I'm Hannah." she held out her hand.
"I'm Craig." I smiled.
"This is Keegan. He's my friend." she pointed back to the boy.
He waved.
"Would you take a picture with me?" she grinned.
"Of course." I said.
We took the picture and she saved it to her phone.
"It was really amazing meeting you. I've been a big fan. You helped me a lot. I'm probably a rotten person on the outside, but, it's just stress." she sighed.
"Can I have your number? You could talk to me personally anytime you need to. I'm here to help." I said.
She smiled. "Sure."
She wrote it down and gave it to me.
"Thank you. Anyway, I came to get a room." I laughed.
She laughed.
"I mean... not with... you... but... I.. uh, Can I buy a night's stay?" I said nervously, feeling blood run through my cheeks.
She smiled.
"It's on me."
She handed me a room key.
"Enjoy your stay." she said.
