Emily's POVThe rest of the weekend goes by fast in a blur and luckily I manage to avoid seeing Tyler.He's barely ever home and I only get to see him a few times in class where we exchange a few awkward glances.By Tuesday, I'm already feeling horrible and desperate to end the silence between us. It has only just been a few days since our dispute but it feels like years. I try to get him to talk to me a few times during the week but he ignores me the whole time.In class, I sit next to Cole. Tyler walks in a few seconds later and sits directly behind me. I can feel his gaze piercing into my back the whole time and I find it difficult to concentrate.By the time the class comes to an end, I look back to find his seat empty. He's gone. I quickly pack my things into my backpack and rush out of the class, ignoring Cole's voice calling after me as I go in search of Tyler but he's nowhere to be found. I feel terrible for saying all those things to him the other day and if I could turn th
Emily's POVWhen we finally pull away,we sit there, staring into the thick woods as we watch the sunset and after a few minutes,we start heading home.When we get home, I go upstairs to quickly shower before coming back downstairs to join Tyler in the kitchen where we make ourselves dinner.After dinner,we sit down in the living room watching TV and sometime into the movie I fall asleep only to find myself curled up in my bed the next morning.The rest of the week goes by fast and before I know it, it's sunday. Tyler left home earlier this afternoon without a clue of his whereabouts so I spend the rest of the day sitting in my room going through my notes.A lot has happened these past few days,Tyler and I have gotten a lot closer and things seem to have balanced between us though he hasn't yet said anything about our relationship and I'm still unsure of where I stand with him. I never know what's going through that boy's head.Kyle on the other hand hasn't been home these past few day
Emily's POVThe sound of my alarm going off makes me groan in my sleep and I hit the snooze button. The sunlight illuminating through the window,shines brightly on me and blinds my eyes as I open it hesitantly.Yawning sleepily, I tumble over, trying to climb off the bed when I feel something heavy wrapped tightly around me and my eyes fly down to find Tyler lying down next to me with his arm draped tightly around me and that when realization hits me.I remember falling asleep with Tyler last night. I stare at him, watching him sleep with a frown creasing his forehead and I wonder if he always has that frown on his face whenever he sleeps.I smile, watching him snore softly. He looks so peaceful and calm in his sleep and I wish I could remain like this the whole day with his arm wrapped around me protectively like his life depends on it but sadly it's impossible. I need to get up now else I'll be late for class.Taking one final look at him,I pull his hands off me and place it on the
Emily's POV "Thanks for accepting my request" He says, looking at me. He gives me a weak smile. His face is worn out with age and his eyes are a contrasting darker shade of gray paired with unbelievably long lashes which causes an irresistible resemblance to his son. "It's nothing..sir" The words feel heavy on my mouth as I stare at the man in disdain. "I haven't still gotten your name yet" He says, looking at me as he takes a sip of his coffee while I look down at mine, still untouched. "My name is Emily,sir" I say, quickly introducing myself. "It's nice to meet you Emily,please call me Chris" He says and I give him a small smile, making a mental note to myself that there's no way I'm ever calling him Chris even though he doesn't deserve the respect I address him with. "I know you must be wondering why I stopped you and brought you here. I'm sure my son must have told you everything by now but there are a few things he isn't aware of and I need your help" He says and I remain si
Emily's POV When I get home later that evening, I find Tyler sitting on the couch and as soon as I walk into the house,he stands up upon seeing me. "Tyler..." I say dryly as our eyes meet. "Where were you?" He asks as he walks towards me. "I went to the salon with Tifanny to get my hair trimmed," I say, avoiding eye contact with him. "Lies. Pure lies. I can't believe you could look at me in the face and lie to my face" He says, raising his voice slightly. "I'm telling the truth Tyler, I was with Tif..." He cuts me off before I can finish,"Don't lie to me. I calked you severally but you weren't picking my calls and I called Tifanny earlier to ask of your whereabouts cause I was worried sick and even Tiffany had no idea where you were so don't fucking lie to me. Where were you?" He yells,his voice at a higher volume this time "I'm not lying to you Tyler, I was with Tiffany but probably I haven't gotten to her when you called" I say, walking away, avoiding his gaze but he follows
Emily's POVIt's been two weeks and we're almost done with our first semester exams. The past few weeks has been great yet exhausting with all the late night studies in preparation for my exams.During the past few weeks,Tyler and I have gotten incredibly and irresistibly closer, spending most of the nights together,snuggled up cuddling in his bed and taking walks every now and then.Though we're yet to make things official, I feel that he's taking his time to accept his feelings. My friends are already running impatient trying to get us to confess our feelings to each other and make things official but we keep turning them down.Up till now, I haven't really confessed my feelings to Tyler despite how close we've become.In school,Jace hasn't given up yet on trying to talk to me even though I've told him on several occasions to stay away from me. I don't really bear any grudges for him but I'd like that we stay clear of each other's paths.Rachel and I on the other hand keep exchangin
Emily's POVWhen I get out of the car,we start walking and my heel catches on an uneven stone. I lose my balance and start falling forward but Tyler's arm snakes around my waist and catches me just in time before I fall. He presses his hand into my hip and pulls me upright, causing me to crash into him with my chest against his."Thanks" I say and he smiles. We keep walking until we get to a field and I'm left speechless.Scanning my surroundings, all I see is green grass and trees swaying and then right in the center of the field, I see it. There is a table set for two in the middle of the field with bright lights set up under a makeshift canopy decorated with flowers and ribbons. Tyler pulls me out of my stunned state by taking my hand in his as he leads me towards the table.As we draw nearer to the table,I notice that on top of a white tablecloth, sits a flower vase filled with beautiful and colorful flowers. A white candle sits in the center of the table next to the flower vas
Emily's POVWhen we pull away, we're both panting heavily and staring at each other with raw and unfiltered emotions running through our eyes with our foreheads pressed against each other.The barking sound of a dog interrupts us and we break apart. Tyler sets me down on my feet as we turn our heads to face the direction from which the sound is coming from and that is when I see Brain coming towards us with Dre by his side."Did you call him here?" I tear my eyes from then and turn to face Tyler. He nods.I turn my gaze back to them and watch as Dre runs over to Tyler, jumping and wagging its tail around him.Tyler bends over to play with him, scratching it's back and it rolls over, barking in excitement."I hope we're not interrupting something," Brain asks as he approaches us."Not at all," Tyler says,a smile playing on his lips as he looks at me."Hi Emily,long time no see" Brain says smiling at me and I return the kind gesture."Hi Brain, it's been a while" I say to him."Hey boy"
