Track Star part 5.
With new found determination, I left Bryan's room. I thought to myself "Andy is going to pay for what he did." The rage inside me was burning hotter than hell itself. Tomorrow is going to be the day that he will suffer!
"I don't know what I'm going to do to him, I did promise Bryan that I won't do anything that I would regret later..." I met up with Shelby afterwards, she was taking a break from her stage managing duties.
"Well Tyler, I don't know what to say to you." Shelby said, listening to my plan of attack. "Andy is such a fuckin' prick! He left one of my good friends in the hospital, and I bet he enjoyed every bit of it. Know what? I don't care what the fuck you do to him, beat the shit out of him Tyler!"
"Woah...Shel. Calm down...strange that I'm telling you to calm down. I feel the exact same way. I guess I have to play it by ear. I'm going to Cornish High and I will confront Andy once and for all."
I decided to take the day off from school to visit Bryan before he leaves the hospital and go to Andy's school to see him. I got into my car and went to the hospital, during the drive there I thought to myself if what I am about to do is the right thing, I don't want to stoop to Andy's level, but he did hurt someone I love, I went back and forth on this before I got to the hospital. I had to shake it off because Bryan can't know what I'm doing. I got to his room and Bryan's still asleep. **************************** "Bryan..." I whispered. He opened his eyes and said, "Morning sunshine..." He showed me that smile again and I gave him a kiss on his forehead.
"What are you doing here? Don't you have school? Not that I'm complaining or anything, but you should be there than here."
"Oh...I'm going to school..." I didn't tell him that the school I was going to was Cornish.
"Good! I finally get to go home! Get to be in my own bed, and I get to eat real food. Ha ha."
"Ok, Bryan I gotta get goin if I want to make it on time for 3rd period, I'm coming by your house today and we'll spend the rest of the afternoon together k?" Bryan nodded and I gave him a final kiss before I left. I started shaking, Im about to confront Andy. Again I was going back and forth on the situation. I got to Cornish and I had to find him, problem is that I don't know his schedule...I went to the office, to see if I can "visit" a student. They said sure and they took a box out with all the students class information. I looked through the box, "Maria Caranza...nope...Anthony John Carder...bingo!" It said that his 2nd period class was about it end..."Room 131, Andy here I come!"
The bell rang and I headed towards the room, and there he is. Walking out of class with his friends. All the anxious feelings, all the nervousness left my body as I walked towards him.
"Hey...Tyler what are you doing here?"
"I need to talk to you outside, if that's ok with you."
"Sure." We both walked outside where no one can see us. Then I shoved Andy towards a wall, "WHY DID YOU DO IT?"
"D...do what?"
"Shut up! You know what I'm talking about! I was at the hospital yesterday and Bryan told me that you were the one that attacked him!"
"I didn't mean for it to go as far as it did, I was just going to scare him, push him to the ground. I'm sorry!"
I made a fist and I pulled back about to hit Andy, tears were both in our eyes. "THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT IF YOU KEPT HITTING HIM, HE WOULD HAVE DIED!!!!!" I never felt so much anger in my life, "YOUR WERE ABOUT TO TAKE AWAY THE ONE PERSON THAT I CARED FOR SO MUCH! JUST FOR THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY!"
"Please...don't hit me" he pleaded
"DON'T HIT YOU? BRYAN PLEADED FOR HIS LIFE, BUT YOU DIDN'T STOP DID YOU?"
"P...p...please Tyler, I'm sorry..."
"NO!" I held his shoulder and I was about to throw the punch, I stopped. I don't know why I stopped. "I want you to stay away from me, and Bryan you hear me? You know how much hell you've put me, his parents, his friends and Bryan through? I'm never going to forgive you nor am I going to to forget. You've caused a lot of pain in more ways than one."
He just stood there looking at me in shock, "I don't know why I did it, I really don't. I truly am sorry."
"Sorry? That's not going to take back what you did? Why do you hate us so much?"
"Look, I don't hate you...I hate Bryan."
"Why?"
"I saw the way you would always look at me, I tried to shrug it off. Playing it like it was nothing. But then I started getting feelings for you. I just couldn't help it. I got really pissed because Bryan took away someone that I really wanted and I..."
I cut Andy off before he could finish, "You mean nothing to me, yeah you're cute and all but that's about it. I feel nothing for you, nor will I ever. You are just another guy to me." I said coldly, I could see the tears well up in Andy's eyes...at that time I didn't care.
Andy walked passed me, pushing me to the wall. He didn't look back at all, yeah sure I felt bad but he deserved it. With that over, I went back to school.
The school day is finally over, Shel, Rosie and I headed towards my car and we all went to Bryan's.
"You're shitting me right? Andy liked you?" Bryan said with his mouth open.
"Yeah..." I sighed.
"We were in shock too, I always thought that Andy was fine. But he's gay...all the hot guys are gay. I mean look at you two." Rosie said, Bryan and I were blushing.
Our eyes met, his piercing browns eyes sent chills down my spine, his signature smile accentuated his dimples on his face. Bryan is back!
"You risked everything to protect me Tyler, you are my knight in shining armor! Thanks for the ring by the way, my parents thought that it was an engagement ring. I told them that it was and they started freaking out saying that I was too young to get married and that it wasn't legal yet. I told them to calm down and that I was just joking..."
"Bryan, if I did ask you to marry me would you?" I interrupted Bryan
"In a heart beat, but we're not ready or at least I'm not. You're not thinking of proposing are you?
"No...no. Like you Im not ready. I know that I want to spend my rest of my life with you. I just don't know..."
"It's ok, when you're ready then I'm ready too, I can't wait to spend my life with you too Tyler"
We just sat there looking at each other, I inched in and I put my arms around Bryan. Having him in my arms is like being in heaven not to mention that he's a great kisser too. Our faces were inches apart, we both stared at each other. All I could think of is that I am lucky to have a man like Bryan in my life. I went in a little closer, not paying attention to Shelby or Rosie, I kissed Bryan passionatly and the two just looked at us, "Do you want us to leave?" We didn't pay any attention and they let themselves out, "I guess I'll see you at school Tyler." Rosie and Shelby left.
I was with Bryan for the rest of the afternoon, it was 8 pm and I decided to go home I still had some homework to finish. I gave Bryan a final kiss on the forehead and left his house. As I walked out of his door I closed it. I put my hand on the door and softly whispered, "We are forever, and I will forever love you."
BRYAN'S P.O.V A couple of months had passed since the attack. I'm back at Western catching up with all the days I missed from class...let's just say that a month and a half of missing school is not a good thing. Finals are next week and Im sort of prepared, I stayed at my dorm and finished all my back work in 4 days, which is pretty impressive because I was gone for a long time. The thing that saved me was that I had no papers to write, just silly answer the questions. I stayed in my dorm for 4 days straight, only taking breaks to go the bathroom and to eat...that was more worse than being in the hospital to tell you the truth. But I talked to my professors and they gave me extensions on all the work that was due, due to the fact that I was recovering. It's a week before Tyler graduates from high school and that he turns 18. My phone rings...it's Tyler!! "Hey babe! What does it feel like to be back in school?"
"It sucks, I got a butt load of homework from my classes, no papers thank God! Finished them in about 4 days...I kinda half assed the whole thing."
"Im sorry that you had tons of homework, Im happy that Im finally turning 18 and graduating next week. My parents are going to let me throw a party the night after the graduation ceremony."
"Haha, awesome babe. And just think in a few months you'll be up here at Western with me."
"I know...we're not going to get a lot of work done...hahaha. So for the party, are you able to make it?"
"I wouldn't miss it for the world, i'll buy porn and cigs and a couple of lotto tickets or two."
"Very funny, you don't have to get me anything just as long as you are here then that's all I need. Besides I have other people to get my presents and I over heard my mom and dad saying that they got me a new car! They're going to give my old car to my brother."
"Amazing! You, Tyler are spoiled." I said laughing over the phone. "Listen, I gotta get back to my studying, I have finals to study for. I'll call you later k?"
"Ok, I'll talk to you later. I love you."
"Love you too! Bye."
"Bye."
I couldn't concentrate on anything, all I can think of was Tyler. What is wrong with me? Why can't I function regularly? I put my books down and went to bed. A week passed by, I took my finals and I was worried. Im sure I did well, but Im one of those people who worry if they did good or not. I had to keep up my grades or I'll lose my scholarship...I've had a 4 point all through out jr. high and high school. A 3.9 wouldn't even suffice it had to be a perfect 4.0. Im pretty anal about school work and grades, my parents are too. They would get pissed if I got a B+ or even an A-. So all I did during high school was theatre and school, I made sure I made time for my friends but it wasn't enough time, somehow I managed to balance everything. Enough about school! I am officially done for the year! I ran down the hall packed somethings up for my stay at my parents during the summer. I walked down the stairs with my over packed suitcase, and as always I had to go and trip. Luckily I was three steps away from first floor so it didn't hurt that much, a hand reached over mine to help me up.
"Lemme help you up." The mysterious man said.
"Oh thanks, Im so goofy I didn't see where I was stepping. I always have a problem with..." I stopped and I looked at the guy. His 6 foot frame and muscular but not too muscular body, emerald green eyes, dark brown hair covered by a hat, and a smile that could light a whole house took my breath away.
"Um...heh...hi. I'm Gavin Richardson." He shook my hand.
"Oh, um hi. Nice to meet you, Im Bryan Langdon."
"Nice to meet you too Bryan, I guess I'll see you around campus."
"Yeah I guess too." Gavin walked away, and I thought to myself "I guess too?" What the fuck was that Bryan? I laughed and shrugged it off. I got into my car and got on the freeway back home. It was nice to be back, even though it's been a few weeks, it felt like years to me. Not seeing Rosie, Shelby or Tyler for that fact sucked the big one. Tonight is his graduation, I wanted to go but I didn't get a ticket because niether Rosie, Shelby or Tyler had any spare tickets left so that means that I have to wait before the ceremony is over. While at home I had a quiet dinner with the family and it was family night, we cracked open the Clue boardgame and started playing. As always I won, Im pretty good at deducting and I would always win. You'd think my family would know by now that I rock at the game but I guess they wanted to be crushed! FINALLY I got a call from Shelby and she was crying because high school is finally over and she actually had to step into the real world once she goes to Vassar in NY. She then told me that the party is about to start and that I should get my sexy ass to Tyler's. I got into my car and went to his house, as I pulled up to his driveway I can hear the music pounding from his place. I got out and went through the door. I searched around the house and there was Tyler sitting on the couch talking to his friends. He saw me and immediately jumped out from the couch and ran to me to give me the biggest hug he has ever gave me.
"I'm so glad that you're here! We're going to have a fun time. My parents are gone and so I got the house all to myself. Just as long as I don't break anything of course. Alcohol is brimming to the top everywhere! So grab a beer and start mingling."
I went to the kitchen and he wasn't kidding about the alcohol, it was everywhere. I wonder who gave him all of this? Oh well, I grabbed a beer and started to walk around. A lot of seniors were getting drunk off their asses and got friendly with each other, teenagers + booze = sex. As the night went on the crowd got smaller, there were people on the floor passed out, people near the pool passed out. Odd...I couldn't find Tyler anywhere, I went upstairs to find him, no one in the master bedroom, no one in his brother's room. I entered Tyler's and I was in shock...there was Tyler on his bed with Shelby! They were completly fucking each other, my stomach couldn't take it any more, I bolted out of his room. Tyler saw me and got off Shelby and tried to run after me telling me to wait and he could explain. I ran into Rosie and asked me what was going on, I wasn't able to tell her because I was in shock and I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my body and had been stepped on. Tyler yelled my name again, and I didn't listen so then I kicked the door open from his house and got to my car. Tyler came out also and started banging on my window, he was screaming that he was sorry but I didn't want to hear it. I opened my window and told him to go to hell, and I threw his so called promise ring in his face, I sped off to my house and I packed my things and headed back to Western. I couldn't believe that Tyler would do that to me, especially with my best friend! How could they do this to me?! I thought Tyler loved me...a few days passed and my phone wouldn't stop ringing and so I let the answering machine pick it up, it was Tyler telling me to pick up the phone so we could talk, I didn't want to talk to a fuckin cheater. He said that the both of them were drunk and one thing led to another. I had to take a break from him. I walked out of my dorm and I saw Gavin down the hall. He called my name and walked towards me...
"What's wrong buddy?"
"Oh nothing...it's just that my boyfriend or should I saw ex-boyfriend cheated on me a few days ago, with my fuckin best friend or should I say ex-best friend Shelby."
"What? Your boyfriend?"
"Yeah...Im gay so what? you're going to kick my ass too? Someone already did." I started to cry and Gavin came closer to hug me.
"No...I'm not going to kick your ass. You're gay, whatever man...I don't care. It looks like you need a friend right now so how 'bout you and me go grab some food and talk about it ok?"
"O..ok" I said still crying, he hugged a little harder and told me that everything is going to be ok. I don't know what came over me, I don't know this guy very well but he actually cared. We walked down to the cafeteria and then things took an unexpected turn from there...
