Chapter 2!!
Lying on my bed I sobbed into my pillow. My body shook uncontrollably. I heart hurt so bad, a pain so much worse than any other I'd ever experienced. For the umpteenth time my phone began to vibrate, but I ignored it. I didn't want to hear his voice. Not ever. How could he do this to me? With Kira no less. He knew how strongly I believed in monogamy, cheating was the one thing I couldn't forgive. We were done. Somehow even in my endless agony I managed to drift to sleep, only to be woken up by pounding on my dresser. Dazed and bleary eyed I squinted at the alarm clock on my dresser. In glowing green letters it claimed to be two a.m. Groaning, I crawled out of bed and stumbled to the door.
"Who is it?" I mumbled, pressing my forehead against the door, my head spinning, the painful memories rekindling in full force.
"It's me." A man's voice replied, except it wasn't the 'me' I'd expected.
"Tyler?" I asked, opening the door. We'd been awkward ever since Reid and I had gotten together… just thinking about him made my heart ache. I opened the door on a beautiful sight. Tyler Simms, leaning against the frame of my door, a lock of his brown hair hanging casually in his eyes, he grinned sadly at me.
"Hey kid." He muttered, straightening up. "Did I wake you up?"
"No," I replied jokingly, "I always look like crap."
"Not the word I'd use." Tyler said smiling, walking past me, not worrying about an invitation.
"Oh please come in." I said sarcastically, closing the door behind him. By the time I made it to my bed, he had managed to turn on my lamp and was situated comfortably against my headboard. "So, what brings you to my humble abode at this late hour?"
"What, are we in the sixteenth century?" Tyler asked, laughing at me. I stuck my tongue out at him… very mature, I know.
"Fine, what are you doing here?" I asked again.
"Can't a guy visit his friend at random hours in the middle of the night?" Tyler asked. I gave him a hard look. "Fine, I'm here to apologize."
"Why?" I asked.
"I knew about Reid and Kira… but I didn't tell you… I told Reid that he needed to do it himself." Tyler mumbled quickly, staring at the floor. I smiled, a sad smile, and wrapped my arms around him, giving him a hug.
"It's okay Tyler, it wasn't yours to tell me." I consoled.
"Yeah, but you shouldn't have found out through other people." Tyler insisted.
"No, but that's Reid's fault. Not yours. He made the choice, not you."
