Title: Conspiracy
Summary: Tyler's really unsure about his boyfriend now. ReidTyler. Song is Conspiracy by Paramore. Warning for Angst and Character death.
And now, Conspiracy:
Please speak softly, for they will hear us
And they'll find out why we don't trust them
Speak up dear cause I cannot hear you
I need to know why we don't trust themTyler was losing Reid. He could feel it. All the hiding and sneaking around behind Caleb and Pogue's back was wearing thin. And he could tell that Reid wanted to revert back to his old ways. There was no use denying it.
Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power
"Tyler, we need to talk." Reid sounded so unsure. He was unsure if Tyler would be able to handle it. Those 4 words were forever burnt into Tyler's memory.
"Yeah Reid. I know. I understand if you want to end things." Tyler tried to sound nonchalant. But it didn't work. So Tyler did the only thing he could do, walk away. As soon as he got out the doors, he ran flat out to the parking lot, crying the entire way. He climbed into his Hummer and locked the doors, pushing the keys into the ignition. He pulled out of the parking lot and sped off towards the cliffs.
Where can I turn? Cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertainty I'm so unsureTell me why I feel so alone
Cause I need to know to whom do I owe
The entire way there, Tyler's cell phone kept ringing. Sometimes the same ring tone over and over again. He knew who both were. The first time it was Caleb, probably asking where he had run off. The second call was from Reid. He knew better than to answer it.

There were text messages, voice mails, missed phone calls all from Reid. 'I was foolish enough to get involved with the famed Playboy of Spenser. I thought we would make it. Reid told me that we would, but I guess he was lying. Like he always does.' Tyler thought scathingly.
I thought that we'd make it
Because you said that we'd make it through
And when all security fails
Will you be there to help me through?
Tyler finally arrived at the cliffs. He remembered the first time that he and Reid kissed. It was near sunrise and both had snuck out to meet. Just as the sun rose, Reid stood behind Tyler, placed his hands over Tyler's heart, and formed a makeshift heart. It was the greatest moment of his life as he stood, his hands in Reid's, as they kissed.

Tyler spread his arms. He could taste the bitterness of the ocean on the air. It was almost welcoming him. He knew that it would be a waste of a good power. Tyler checked his phone. The calls had stopped and it was now 5:00. Classes were over and done with. So he spread his arms out once more, and jumped, shouting on the way down, "I…. Will…. You…. My…. Powers" And the last thought that coursed through his head was:
"I've lost my power"
