Chapter 2: thinking it over. [Hilary: Tyson can think?]
Tyler kicked off her scruffy trainers and called out to her mum. Her mum came through carrying a plate. "Here it's cold but that's your fault you should have been home like an hour ago." She said. She was still pretty young. She was only about 28 and very pretty. It sometimes confused Tyler as to why her mum didn't go out clubbing she never had men round or anything. She hadn't had a boyfriend since her dad.as far as she knew, dad had vanished off the face of the earth and was never mentioned in her house. "Honey you okay? How did the match go?" "We got creamed." "Next time love next time." Said Hilary starting on washing up her own dish. "Yeah I was up against Tyson of the bladebreakers you know the world.MUM!" Hilary had dropped the plate letting it fall to the floor with an almighty soapy crash. "I'm sorry love what were you saying?" asked Hilary shakily picking up the glass shards. She brushed them into the bin. "Anyway." said Tyler apprehensively giving her mum the suspicious daughter look. "This guy was looking at me funny." "Googly eyes?" questioned Hilary sitting on the sofa and switching on a film. "Sort of." she was about to explain. "I remember when I was first given the 'googly eyes' dead funny he was about it though." "You mean with dad?"
Hilary went silent. "Mum who was he?" "Who was giving you googly eyes?" she said trying to ignore Tyler's question. "He wasn't particularly looking at me with googly eyes he was looking through me with googly eyes. as though he was. he was looking into my past. my thoughts, my soul." "Oh this guy sound scary.he wasn't a phsykick was he?" Hilary had on a few occasions mentioned the evil team phsykick and her fights with them she had mentioned the other boys but never mentioned them by name that would be revealing too much. "Nope he wasn't a phsykick he was.it was Tyson mum it was weird but I felt he knew me from before. like from a dream." "Dear you're being stupid." Hilary said. "Whatever I'm off for a kick about with the girls Kay love ya." She kissed her mother which might have seemed unlikely for a 13 year old but that's just what they did it had always been the two of them, no grandma's grandpa's uncle's aunt's and definitely no dad so they had to show they cared for each other if they didn't they'd crumble and when there's only two you can't crumble or the other had nobody to lean on.
Hilary sat on the sofa thinking. 13 and a ½ years 13 LONG years. Nobody had figured it out she'd cried when she'd found out and only a few weeks later she'd bolted she'd chickened out she'd ran away.
*flashback* Hilary [15] stood outside her house it was broad daylight and everything she had her satchel packed and had everything the two would ever need in a small knapsack she had a little money. She sighed and waved. She crept through the streets trying to hide her guilty face. She didn't look suspicious did she? She nervously tried to hide her stomach. She approached Tyson's front gate. She wanted to tell him but the guys were there she couldn't she'd have to take the easy way out it was her only option. But of course if she'd thought about it she always had options she just hadn't thought. She took one last look before turning her back and leaving. before she left him forever. *end flashback*
But now it seems that it couldn't have been forever. because now 13 years down the road after struggling through everything almost alone he was suddenly around again maybe she'd made a mistake coming back here. Where everyone thought she was dead.worse, murdered.MIA.finito.gone for good.you get the picture. "I'm an idiot." She whispered to the empty house. Empty, that's how she felt inside forever empty. Her heart had been ripped in two the day she left, she still had the half that kept her living.that was Tyler but the one who held the other half was Tyson he'd taken it the day she met him and it was something she couldn't really deal without. At first she had been depressed living in the dingy little flat by herself. It had been abandoned the grey cold flat with no water or anything it was where Tyler.the beautiful child.no now a young woman had been born. She was amazing.looking like her mother stubborn as her dad Hilary felt like crying when her daughter said something stupid something typical of Tyson Granger. Tyson was probably married with other kids by now he'd moved on he probably hadn't even cared when she'd dashed away.
But part of her mind, the drunken half still wrapped up in childish thoughts of kissing secretly behind the willow trees, told her she wanted him to have cared she wanted for him to find her. But she was past that wasn't she, why was she crying she was a grown woman now 28. 28 no boyfriend still scrimping for cash while her daughter played silly games. Hilary tried to wipe the tears but they continued to fall. If somebody spotted her what was she supposed to say. "Yeah I conceived without sin and rose from the dead." That would really work wouldn't it.people would have her shoved in a mental hospital. Then again turning your back on your only means of support and having a kid at 15 definitely earned you a life ticket didn't it? She was an idiot she'd been an idiot for ages and she'd had to pay for that over 13 years. She frowned moving back here had been another big mistake. She got up. It was Tyler's birthday today she had enough money to take her to the cinema or something. She grabbed her coat and went to find her daughter.
"Mum you been crying?" Tyler asked from the goals. Hilary didn't know how she could see behind and forward at the same time. Must be one of Tyson's traits. "No love." she said as she watched the football blast into Tyler's hands. "Nice try, Sara time you went in!" she said. "I got to go girls." "NO!" wailed Michelle. "Sorry.you can take on this lot.they're guys!" she said before rushing up to her mum. "Fancy watching a film?" "Home or cinema?" "We'll go to the cinema okay, you have to be good this time though you remember last time?" Hilary warned. Tyler grinned. She remembered alright. The lady in front well girl was deliberately being super annoying and Ty had totally freaked and put chewing gum in her hair.well apparently that wasn't the best thing to do as her mother owned the cinema and had banned them for 3 months. It had been a laugh at the time at any rate.
"What should we see?" Hilary asked. "Any thing?" "Well, depends on its age certificate." "Mum spoil all my fun why don't you?" teased Tyler as she decided on a film which was a 12a. [insert own film here] the trailers had already started. They sat fairly close to the back and as the opening theme started a man came in with his girlfriend. "Em told you we wouldn't be late." Hissed the man. "We are late everyone is already sat down and stuff come on." She sat in front of the two girls and flicked popcorn at her boyfriend. He punched her playfully. Hilary frowned she was trapped. If Max or Emily noticed her she would be in deep trouble. They didn't notice her but Tyler noticed them. "Cool it love birds you've been at it all day." She said leaning over the chairs. "Ty. don't scare us like that!" said Emily jumping out of Max's embrace and holding her heart. "Aw the wrinklies going to have a heart attack?" she teased. "I've told you before I'm not old neither is she!" Max said she laughed. "Yeah so what." "Where's your mum?" "She's. well she was right here. weird." Tyler shrugged looking at Hilary's empty seat. Funnily enough her mum didn't show up for the rest of the film.
"Well your mum split you want us to walk you home?" Emily asked Hilary her natural maternal instinct kicking in. [ big clue] "I'm worried she doesn't usually run off.that's usually me." Tyler said hopping on her feet. "Erm. does your mum. does she ever get depressed?" asked Max worriedly. "Sometimes but it's the mid-life thingy you know 'I'm 28 and still don't have a boyfriend' phase." "Where'd you live?" he asked. "28 main street why?" "Well Emily will take you home okay you can chill with the bladebreakers until I get back okay?" he said. He whispered something in Emily's ear and she nodded gravely. "Come on Ty." she said they had been walking for only 5 minutes when Tyler broke the awkward silence.
"Where?" "Where what?" she asked staring at her. "Where are we going?" "We're going to the bladebreakers crib yeah?" Emily said as they walked into a large apartment. She banged on the door. "Guys you decent?" she yelled through the door. There was a sudden scurry which made Tyler laugh. Ray came to the door missing a shirt Mariah was inside pulling on her own shirt. "Oh dear.bad time?" "not really. what's she doing here?" asked Mariah. Emily pulled them both through into a room where she whispered. "We think her mum's either neglecting her or she's going to top herself." "What why?" "She dropped her off at the cinema and then vanished Ty says she gets depressed sometimes aswell." "Oh god." Said Tyson appearing from the kitchen. "Hi Tyson." said Tyler jumping through she hopped onto the bed where Ray's shirt was. She chucked it to him. "Hey kiddo, Em where's Max?" "Out." "He's at my house probably yelling at mum." Tyler said. "Everyone yells at mum don't know why."
"you want to watch telly?" asked Mariah. "You don't have to treat me like a little kid you know Mariah." Tyler said but she followed her through. "we have.beyblade.big snooze eh well we have cartoons no Tyson, erm. here we go." She left it on an old black and white movie. Tyler yawned it was a chick flick and pretty boring. Emily rolled her eyes and started playing a beyblade simulation game on Dizzi who was making snide remarks. "That'll work, if you're battling a five year old." "Shut up Dizzi. She's good at blading." Max said coming through. "Max is mum okay?" asked Tyler glad for an excuse to stop watching the movie. "She left a note saying that she'd be back later so you're stuck with us for a while okay kiddo." "Stop calling me kiddo." She said crossing the room. The began to practice with her blade. Mum had run off and left on her birthday. Let. first dad.it.now mum.rip.she was on her own. She pulled it and nearly tripped over it. "Stupid blade." she said. Tyson frowned. She did look unusually close to Hilary.
Hilary sat in town eating a hot dog. Max had nearly caught her. She'd go back later. no doubt Tyler would be mad as heck but that couldn't be helped. Tyler hadn't ever been mad or angry or sad toward her mother she'd always been really happy. She'd been born smiling practically. Well not exactly but she hadn't cried either.
*flashback*
The pain was unbearable as she lay on the ground of the flat. It was cold and dark. It all happened so fast in a rush of blood and screams. A tiny infant lay on the ground. Hilary immediately assumed that something had gone wrong as the baby wasn't crying. She weakly crawled over and looked at the child. She opened her blue eyes [all babies are born with blue eyes] and they stared at each other for the longest time the girl had the most amazing face that looked as though it was about to burst into laughter. In a few hours Hilary had cleaned the child up and always held her close. She was amazing. She'd need to move on though. The flat was covered in blood and various neighbours had heard the screams from the previous escapade police were coming to investigate and she didn't want to be found out. When she'd run away though she knocked several things over and the room looked like a murder scene. The rest as they say was history
*end flashback*
Hilary wandered the streets with nowhere to go she'd left the note saying she'd be back by 7:30. Hopefully Max wouldn't follow her home. Emily didn't matter so much as she'd had never actually seen her in person [she'd seen photos] but even so she wouldn't be as bad.
Tyler had been at the house for hours it was nearly 6 o'clock. "What time is mum coming back?" "She said 7:30 Tyler why are you hungry?" "Starved." "Jesus you're just like Tyson!" Kai said coming through the door and throwing his coat off. "No. I'm not." Tyler said. "I'm like dad." "Who's your dad then?" "I don't know but mum always says I'm like dad and I agree mum was dead young when I was born so we're more like sisters than mum and daughter so I probably am like my jerk off dad." "What did he do?" "I don't know mum doesn't talk about him but I think he broke her heart knowing men he probably ran off with some silly lady." Her dinner was placed in front of her she took it gratefully. "Oi they're not all bad." Said Mariah clutching onto Ray. Ray looked impatiently at the clock. His plans were going to be ruined but if they were all in then they were all in it couldn't be helped. He cleared his throat and everyone looked at him. "I have an announcement to make.Mariah." He turned to face her. She looked puzzled.
"We've been going out for what 13 years?" "Yeah?" "Well.here goes nothing." He got down on one knee. Tyler's eyes widened. "Mariah will you marry me." Mariah looked ready to faint. She stood silently her eyes sparkling with unshed tears. "Mariah don't leave him hanging he needs an answer." Tyler said pushing her empty plate away. Mariah's eyes were streaming. "Yes." She whispered. "Yes," she said throwing her arms around him and crying. Everyone cheered as Ray put the ring on her finger. "Come on we need to get you home." Kenny said. He had arrived earlier but had remained silent. "Aw just getting good aswell." She said. "I'll take her eh," said a voice. [too.many.people] a man with red and black hair stood in the doorway. "Is that such a good idea Ozuma?" asked Tyson knowing about the stealing bit-beasts he'd done as a kid. "Tyson I was a kid!" he exclaimed. Tyler giggled. "And I saved your butt from the psykicks." Tyler froze. "The.the psykicks.as in team Psykick?" she demanded. "Yes.cool it!" Tyson said as she began chattering on and on about something her mum said. "Is it only you and your mam then?" "What makes you think that?" she asked as Ozuma and Tyson lead her down the street. "Well you never shut up about her." "Yeah just me and mum forever we don't need a dad you know 'coz I can cope fine!" "Calm down.so what's your mum look like?" "Like me.only her hair's shorter." Ozuma looked her over. She looked familiar. He didn't know why.
He didn't really know Hilary he never had as he only made friends with Tyson [and stopped trying to steal his bitbeast when Hilary had already died] but he'd seen photos. "What's her name?" Tyler hesitated. "I never asked I think it's Hayley or Helga or something." She said shrugging. "She's as hopeless as you were Tyson!" Ozuma said. "Stop saying I'm like Tyson! I'm not I'm. erm.mum calls it inferior.coz I lost!" "I'm older than you!" Tyson argued. "So what the younger the nimble as I always said." She said proudly. "You sound so much like.like." he broke off he couldn't say it. He hadn't had an argument like this since Hilary.
*flashback* "You're so immature Tyson!" "I am not at least I don't spend all day studying!" he spat. "EXCUSE ME if I care about my grades at least I don't spend the whole day sleeping or playing a stupid game!" "You don't understand you're just a girl and you know what you're not going to get anywhere you'll be some nameless doctor or something but me I'm already known by every kid on the planet." Hilary didn't say anything that hurt. He knew he'd hurt her and he knew he hated it when she cried but she'd annoyed him. He wanted to hug her and tell her he was so sorry. But he couldn't. she was extremely upset. "You know what Tyson I suppose I am normal. above average in some respects but still I'm normal.you.you got it easy Tyson you have it all!" she screamed and she ran away faster than she's ever tried to run before. She left him there feeling sad and lonely. Of course he'd never let her know that tomorrow he'd probably be more hot-headed than ever. *end flashback*
"Hello.I'm home now.you guys want to come in?" she asked waving her hand in front of Tyson's face. "What oh.will your mum mind?" asked Ozuma. "I better not Mariah and Ray will trash the flat if anyone makes fun of them getting married. See you Tyler." He'd only just gone out of sight when the door opened.
"Tyler love!" Hilary said. She froze halfway bent to hug her daughter. She knew that face she knew those eyes. Those startling green eyes had haunted her from the day she hit 13. She gave an odd little whimper [she doesn't know he's a good guy btw]. ". I know you from somewhere." He said looking at her closely. "Doubt it. We only moved here a few weeks ago!" "Hmm. Yeah." He said still surveying her. "Come in Ozuma don't dawdle." Said Tyler kicking off her trainers. "Er.listen Ty.I have to go." he said seemingly sacred. This lady looked identical to Tyson's ex. He'd placed it. "Just out of curiosity ma'am what's your name." "I don't think names are important." Hilary said and stalked off down the corridor. "her name's. Hilda." Said Tyler trying to remember her mum's name she couldn't remember anyone ever calling her by her first name she couldn't even remember a school letter being signed. "No it's Hilary!" she said. "Yes I'm sure it's Hilary." Tyler nodded. "Bye Ozuma." "Bye Tyler." He said. He stood on the street corner. What was her name. He maybe should ask Tyson.
"Tyson!" "What Geez Ozuma you look like you seen a ghost." "I think I just have." "What?" "You know that girlfriend you had the one who was murdered." He panted. Tyson nodded solemnly he hated other people mentioning her. ""What was her name?" "She was called Hilary, why?" everyone had gone silent nobody liked Tyson when he was in a mood. "You. did they.they never found a body did they?" he asked exitedly. He'd figured it out. The forensics had got it wrong it hadn't been her blood somebody else had died. She'd run off with a toy-boy. Within about two years she'd had a kid and there was the result. "Yeah don't sound so excited." "She.she.i.you." "Ozuma!" Max yelled. He grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the flat. "Have you been drinking?" he asked viscously "No I haven't I swear!" he said. "You have to believe me!" "Go home Gemma will take care of you!" [Gemma's his girlfriend.Olly that bits for you!]
Ozuma was left in the streets. He didn't know his theory was wrong. He didn't believe Max would throw him out like that. He sighed. At least he had Gemma.
A/n: poor Ozuma he's very misunderstood sometimes. Kai: shut up! Hilary: oi Tyson: so she's not dead. Hilary: god Tyson you must be the only person in the whole world not to have got it yet!
Chapter 2: thinking it over. [Hilary: Tyson can think?]
Tyler kicked off her scruffy trainers and called out to her mum. Her mum came through carrying a plate. "Here it's cold but that's your fault you should have been home like an hour ago." She said.

"I don't know but mum always says I'm like dad and I agree mum was dead young when I was born so we're more like sisters than mum and daughter so I probably am like my jerk off dad." "What did he do?" "I don't know mum doesn't talk about him but I think he broke her heart knowing men he probably ran off with some silly lady." Her dinner was placed in front of her she took it gratefully. "Oi they're not all bad." Said Mariah clutching onto Ray. Ray looked impatiently at the clock. His plans were going to be ruined but if they were all in then they were all in it couldn't be helped. He cleared his throat and everyone looked at him. "I have an announcement to make.Mariah." He turned to face her. She looked puzzled.
"We've been going out for what 13 years?" "Yeah?" "Well.here goes nothing." He got down on one knee. Tyler's eyes widened. "Mariah will you marry me." Mariah looked ready to faint. She stood silently her eyes sparkling with unshed tears. "Mariah don't leave him hanging he needs an answer." Tyler said pushing her empty plate away. Mariah's eyes were streaming. "Yes." She whispered. "Yes," she said throwing her arms around him and crying. Everyone cheered as Ray put the ring on her finger. "Come on we need to get you home." Kenny said. He had arrived earlier but had remained silent. "Aw just getting good aswell." She said. "I'll take her eh," said a voice. [too.many.people] a man with red and black hair stood in the doorway. "Is that such a good idea Ozuma?" asked Tyson knowing about the stealing bit-beasts he'd done as a kid. "Tyson I was a kid!" he exclaimed. Tyler giggled. "And I saved your butt from the psykicks." Tyler froze. "The.the psykicks.as in team Psykick?" she demanded. "Yes.cool it!" Tyson said as she began chattering on and on about something her mum said. "Is it only you and your mam then?" "What makes you think that?" she asked as Ozuma and Tyson lead her down the street. "Well you never shut up about her." "Yeah just me and mum forever we don't need a dad you know 'coz I can cope fine!" "Calm down.so what's your mum look like?" "Like me.only her hair's shorter." Ozuma looked her over. She looked familiar. He didn't know why.
He didn't really know Hilary he never had as he only made friends with Tyson [and stopped trying to steal his bitbeast when Hilary had already died] but he'd seen photos. "What's her name?" Tyler hesitated. "I never asked I think it's Hayley or Helga or something." She said shrugging. "She's as hopeless as you were Tyson!" Ozuma said. "Stop saying I'm like Tyson! I'm not I'm. erm.mum calls it inferior.coz I lost!" "I'm older than you!" Tyson argued. "So what the younger the nimble as I always said." She said proudly. "You sound so much like.like." he broke off he couldn't say it. He hadn't had an argument like this since Hilary.
*flashback* "You're so immature Tyson!" "I am not at least I don't spend all day studying!" he spat. "EXCUSE ME if I care about my grades at least I don't spend the whole day sleeping or playing a stupid game!" "You don't understand you're just a girl and you know what you're not going to get anywhere you'll be some nameless doctor or something but me I'm already known by every kid on the planet." Hilary didn't say anything that hurt. He knew he'd hurt her and he knew he hated it when she cried but she'd annoyed him. He wanted to hug her and tell her he was so sorry. But he couldn't. she was extremely upset. "You know what Tyson I suppose I am normal. above average in some respects but still I'm normal.you.you got it easy Tyson you have it all!" she screamed and she ran away faster than she's ever tried to run before. She left him there feeling sad and lonely. Of course he'd never let her know that tomorrow he'd probably be more hot-headed than ever. *end flashback*
"Hello.I'm home now.you guys want to come in?" she asked waving her hand in front of Tyson's face. "What oh.will your mum mind?" asked Ozuma. "I better not Mariah and Ray will trash the flat if anyone makes fun of them getting married. See you Tyler." He'd only just gone out of sight when the door opened.
"Tyler love!" Hilary said. She froze halfway bent to hug her daughter. She knew that face she knew those eyes. Those startling green eyes had haunted her from the day she hit 13. She gave an odd little whimper [she doesn't know he's a good guy btw]. ". I know you from somewhere." He said looking at her closely. "Doubt it. We only moved here a few weeks ago!" "Hmm. Yeah." He said still surveying her. "Come in Ozuma don't dawdle." Said Tyler kicking off her trainers. "Er.listen Ty.I have to go." he said seemingly sacred. This lady looked identical to Tyson's ex. He'd placed it. "Just out of curiosity ma'am what's your name." "I don't think names are important." Hilary said and stalked off down the corridor. "her name's. Hilda." Said Tyler trying to remember her mum's name she couldn't remember anyone ever calling her by her first name she couldn't even remember a school letter being signed. "No it's Hilary!" she said. "Yes I'm sure it's Hilary." Tyler nodded. "Bye Ozuma." "Bye Tyler." He said. He stood on the street corner. What was her name. He maybe should ask Tyson.
"Tyson!" "What Geez Ozuma you look like you seen a ghost." "I think I just have." "What?" "You know that girlfriend you had the one who was murdered." He panted. Tyson nodded solemnly he hated other people mentioning her. ""What was her name?" "She was called Hilary, why?" everyone had gone silent nobody liked Tyson when he was in a mood. "You. did they.they never found a body did they?" he asked exitedly. He'd figured it out. The forensics had got it wrong it hadn't been her blood somebody else had died. She'd run off with a toy-boy. Within about two years she'd had a kid and there was the result. "Yeah don't sound so excited." "She.she.i.you." "Ozuma!" Max yelled. He grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the flat. "Have you been drinking?" he asked viscously "No I haven't I swear!" he said. "You have to believe me!" "Go home Gemma will take care of you!" [Gemma's his girlfriend.Olly that bits for you!]
Ozuma was left in the streets. He didn't know his theory was wrong. He didn't believe Max would throw him out like that. He sighed. At least he had Gemma.
A/n: poor Ozuma he's very misunderstood sometimes. Kai: shut up! Hilary: oi Tyson: so she's not dead. Hilary: god Tyson you must be the only person in the whole world not to have got it yet!
