Cruel Intentions Chapter 3
Jeremy's POV
I was lost in thought, so lost that the only thing that I noticed was Tyler tense up under me and around me tightening his grip. Then I heard yelling "What the fuck is this? Huh? What you're a fucking faggot?" My eyes quickly found the source Tyler's father who was moving forward toward us in raged at this sight. He yelled something about trash and the next thing I know he ripped me from Tyler's arms. It happened so fast that I didn't know what was going on one second his father had hold me then I was on the floor.
Tyler's POV
I'd never seen so much hate and anger in my father's eyes as he looked at me with my arms around Jeremy. Instinctively I tightened my hold on him to protect him. My father started yelling "What the fuck Tyler, what the fuck is this? Huh? What you're a fucking faggot?" He moved forward and grabbed Jeremy by the wrest ripping him from my arms as he yelled "And if that's not bad enough you're getting fucked by trash like this"!
The moment he said that I pounced taking hold of him slamming him into the wall. Holding him against the wall my arm to his throat I glared at him. "So what you get fucked by trash and now you're a man?" the only word that bothered me was trash. Pushing my arm down harder I told him "You can call me what you want, you can even beat me to a pulp but if you ever, ever so much as look at him again(I looked at Jeremy as I said him) I will kill you. I swear to god I will kill you".
Jeremy's POV
My eyes scanned the room and found Tyler holding his father against the wall. I had never seen Tyler like this before it kind of turned me on. That's when I heard him "If you ever look at him again I will kill you". Maybe he does actually love me; maybe I misunderstood the whole thing earlier.
Tyler's POV
My father looked at me and smirked "We can forget this whole thing ever happened all you have to do is through him out and promise to never look at him again". I pushed down a little harder "What did I just tell you?" He started to struggle to breath; I could see how surprised he was that I was actually going to kill him. He started to gasp and beg whispering my name with the word don't.
I was so focused on him that I didn't even know Jeremy had gotten up. Somewhere during this he got up and walked over to me. Placing his hand on my shoulder gently "Tyler please don't do this".
Jeremy's POV
I watched frozen in shock as his father offered him a deal to forget all this if he gave me up. This was it his answered would define everything whether or not this relationship is real or still just a game to hurt him. Tyler looked in raged at the offer, he yelled something and then he pushed down harder on his father's throat.
He was cutting off his father's air; he was actually going to kill his father over me. He was offered his life or me and he picked me. It was in that moment that I fall completely in love with Tyler Lockwood.
Like him I wanted his father dead not for calling me trash or nearly breaking my arm but for the years of abuse he had inflicted on Tyler, My Tyler my love. But no matter how much I wanted him dead I couldn't let Tyler kill him. It would only hurt him in the long run, knowing he killed his father. Not to mention that he would defiantly go to jail for killing him not only his father but the town mayor. Standing up and walking over to him I placed my hand on his shoulder "Tyler Please don't do this, please don't". He glanced at me and I pleaded to him with my eyes to let him. "Tyler he isn't worth it please stop" he looked at me carefully before releasing his father.
Tyler's POV
"Please don't do this" his word where soft, looking at him I could see the bagging in his eyes. He squeezed my shoulder "Tyler he isn't worth it please stop". Like I said I would do anything for him even let my worthless excuse of a father live. I let go of him and backed up a foot shoving Jeremy protectively behind me. "Your right he isn't worth it" I said as I glared at my father. He took in a deep breath before speaking "I want you out of my fucking house you worthless faggot". The words should hurt but they didn't because he was right this was his house, it had never been my home. "We'll be gone in 10 minutes" he turned and left the room not even a second after I finished speaking. Jeremy turned me around to look at him "Tyler don't give up this for me, I'm not worth it". Shaking my head I looked at him "Don't you get it your worth everything to me, you're the only thing that I want". Jeremy pulled me to him and kissed me softly on the lips.
After we got dressed, he helped me pack grabbing mainly cloths and other small fast moving items. We were down stairs ready to leave in 5 minutes, my parents both sitting in the living room looking at us. My mother had tears in her eyes "Are you really going to give up your family for him"? Her question hit a sore nerve "How dare you mention family, what family? You mean the father who beats me at least twice a week or the mother who never does anything to stop it? Neither of you are my family; Jeremy is more family to me than either of you. Cause unlike you he loves me". I took his hand and went to leave he stopped me "Hold on for one second" he looked at my parents "Don't talk to him like that, like he is giving something up. He is finally standing up for himself and cutting you two heartless bastards out of his life. You clearly don't care about your son, but do you care about your career"? My father nearly crushed the glass in his hand when he said that "Don't you threaten me you filthy queer". Before I could say anything Jeremy did "It isn't a threat, it's a promise. You ever hurt the man I love again and I will put the pictures of your son's broken ribs all over town and make sure that everyone knows you did it. Let's see if they still vote for you then". With those last words he led me out of the house.
Jeremy's POV
Three months later
I watched Tyler as he wrote in his journal. He had handle everything very well, he adjust to his new life perfectly. Not to mention that he was ten times happier now without his parents. At least his grandparents didn't react like them in fact when they found out how his parents reacted they cut them out of their life. They were his mom's parent from New York, when they heard what happened they rushed out here and told his parents off before begging Tyler to come back to New York with them. He refused and after a week they accepted his choice to stay and even signed over his trust fund to him so that he didn't have to worry about money. They left telling him if he needed anything to call.
I thought for sure he would buy an apartment, but instead he moved in with Matt. Matt was more than happy to have him, the only thing he didn't like was Tyler's insistence that he pay the bills. After arguing they agreed he would pay half the bills, which was fine because Tyler bought a new TV for the living room and did tons of grocery shopping. This upset Matt because he didn't want to feel like a charity case but he accepted that it was Tyler trying to feel useful and help out.
Matt and I actually became friends which was a good thing considering that I spend 80% of my time at his and Tyler's place. Elena accepted that I'm in love with Tyler even though she kind of can't stand him. Tyler closed his journal and pulled me into his arms laying down so that I'm on his chest. He kissed my head and whispered I love you to me, that's how I spend most of my nights in the arms of the man I love.
I had no idea that my plan to destroy him would end with me desperately head over heels in love with him. I don't think about that at all anymore because it doesn't matter how it started all that matters is I Love Tyler Lockwood and someday I will marry him.
Tyler's POV
Dear Journal, I saw my father today, he glared at me from the corner of his eyes but he didn't dare speak to me, he knew if he ever did Jeremy would ruin him. He never looks at Jeremy ever not even in glance I guess realize if he did I would make good and kill him. None of that matters though because I have real people in my life who love me, like Jeremy and Matt. I wonder if Jeremy has any idea that I'm going to ask him to marry me tomorrow. Matt was shocked when I took him ring shopping with me and told him I was going to ask Jeremy to marry me.
I closed my journal and pulled him on top of me; I kissed him and whispered that I love him. Then I laughed lightly to myself thinking about his face when I pull the ring out.
The End
