Chapter 3: Complications [Tyson: that can't be good.]
At the opposite sides of the city two women paced the room at 2am. On the West Side Hilary Tatiba [sumbody told me can't remember who but thanks anyway] Circled her bedroom thinking. She couldn't sleep. Now Ozuma knew where she was and who she was [well Hilary was certain he knew who she was his emerald eyes had stared right through her] he may come after her.not her but Tyler as Tyler had Sashia, a bit-beast. Hilary had never grasped the concept of the four sacred bit-beasts and had made up her own explanations for things. She guessed Ozuma had pretty much taken any bit- beasts. She was just relieved when they got them back. She hadn't stayed up this late since she was pregnant with Ty. Speaking of that we cross to the East Side of the city where Emily was up. The sun was already rising and she hadn't slept a wink. Max was sleeping peacefully on the bed she was continually circling. He lay there unaware of his restless girlfriend.
"No rest for the wicked." She told herself. She was being stupid but she couldn't help it girls were stupid sometimes.only she should have outgrown it seeing she was 29 now. She stared out the window. She kept envisioning Tyler and her mother and how she had been 'dead young when she had her' in the words of Tyler herself. If she was 'dead young' it meant she wasn't married. Being not married made it wrong didn't it? That was what she'd been taught. And now she'd gone against her teachings and had thrown it all away for one night with her boyfriend. She loved him to bits but it wasn't fair on the baby it was damned from the moment of birth unless she'd already gone down the aisle. She gave a dry sob. This was so hard. Max hadn't been brought up in a particularly stable family and under his rules it was probably okay to conceive under no roofs of support it was 'medium' in Emily's books but to bring a child into the world under the 'happy life' scenario when they weren't married was one of the worst things imaginable. She couldn't even bring herself to tell him and she'd known a whole month. That meant she was 3 months in. This was awkward. She stroked Max's hair a few times before retiring to the kitchen. She was starving.
Hilary frowned. Tyler came into the room it was about 9am she hadn't slept. "Mum what's wrong?" she asked indicating to her mothers tears. "Nothing love go back to bed." She said. "Mum I can't get back sleep you're crying really loud the walls are only thin tell me what's wrong." "Listen I know you like it here." "I love it there's so many beybladers and we live just across town from the bladebreakers!" "Yes but. it's really painful for mum here you know. a lot of bad memories." "You lived here as a kid?" "I was only about your age but I had everything here I threw it all away you know." "What do you mean you had everything?" asked Tyler sitting next to her mum and wrapping her arms across her shoulders. "I had great friends great boyfriend great life good grades and then." "Then you met dad?" "No, I knew dad from before hand." "Who was he?" "It's not important who he is but, but you're becoming more and more like him everyday and it hurts." "What happened with him?" "I can't. listen love. I." "Mum did he leave you?" "No I left him." "WHAT!" Tyler had always assumed that her dad had buggered off and left mum now she was being told she'd got it wrong for 13 years.
"I've told you before Ty, I'm no saint." "I never thought you were but.but you left him why?" "I was young I had no means of support I was pregnant and I was afraid." "So you said 'look I'm up the duff with your baby and I don't want you anymore.' And then you moved away?" "No I left him and he didn't even know you existed he still doesn't." "You mean he's still alive?" asked Tyler suddenly. Hilary sadly looked at her. "Look love forget I ever said it." "I CAN'T FORGET IT!" she screamed. "All this time I thought that dad was dead or some druggie who screwed everything in skirt, but you.you're as bad as I thought he was!" she screamed. "TYLER!" she yelled. Tyler left and less than a minute later the front door slammed indicating she'd left. Hilary frowned.
Emily sat in the kitchen she hadn't slept at all. Not a wink. She was tired as hell but couldn't bring herself to share the same bed as Max. even if they weren't doing anything she still felt awkward as of a month ago. This was the first night they'd spent apart since the bladebreakers moved into this flat. She felt rotten the food tasted like ash in her mouth. Mariah was the first up. He hair was tousled and her shirt undone as though she hadn't slept exactly perfectly herself but hers was a totally different reason. "Morning Em." Emily smiled weakly. "You're up early." "Or sleeping late." She said. "You haven't slept why not?" asked Mariah in shock sitting down next to her flatmate. "I can't Mariah." "Insomnia?" "No?" "Stress?" "Nope." "Fight with Max?" "No." Emily was crying again. "You can tell me anything are you in.in trouble?" Mariah asked. "I.I am in trouble.I've done bad Mariah I've done VERY bad." "You in debt?" "No." "You've had an affair?" "Hell no!" "What then." "I can't say." "You've done wrong. what do you mean?" "What's wrong girls?" asked Kenny stepping through. "Nothing." They both said at the same time. Yes the looked guilty. But neither of them knew exactly what to say. Less than an hour later after everyone was up the doorbell went and they were all surprised to see somebody there bags packed and everything.
********** Hilary frowned. It was evening already and Tyler hadn't showed up. She was worried. Tyler had left her. Just like she'd left Tyson. She shivered and lay down her cup of coffee it was already very dark outside. She grabbed her coat. She left a note on the table. "To Ty Gone out to look for you if you get home before me ring my mobile you know my number. Mum." She wrote and dashed out the door straight into somebody else. "Sorry!" she said not taking note of who it was and she ran out of the house leaving the red headed man in the doorway. [Ozuma] "She was in a hurry." muttered the blonde woman next to him. [Gemma] "Did you get a look at her?" "yeah." "Is it her." "I reckon so she looks like it." The two walked into the shadows hand in hand discussing the lady.
Tyler sat on the floor of one of the bedrooms. She was sharing with Kai and Tyson. Mum would be doing her nut at home but she wasn't best pleased. She wouldn't give them any contact number and Tyson had forgotten where she lived so there was no chance of her being taken home. Emily had welcomed her with open arms. Everyone else seemed a little shocked. They had reckoned that Emily was acting too motherly but that would have meant 16 with a baby and Emily wasn't that type of girl. "You alright?" Tyson asked sitting on the bed. Tyler was handling a bracelet from her backpack. "Yeah." "Why'd you run away?" "Mum." she said shortly placing the gold bracelet onto her wrist. It slid straight off and to the ground. Tyson picked it up. It was engraved. It read: "To my." the rest was worn away with age. "Here." He handed it to her. "It's hers. I think he gave it to her." "Who'd her.who's he." "Mum and.and my dad." "I thought you didn't know you're dad." "I don't." "Oh right. Are you ready for bed?" "Tyson!" she whined. "It's 8:00 o'clock." "Bed time!" "Oh no you don't I'm not falling for that one!" she said.
"Tyson." She asked as the two had been sat in silence for a long time. "Yeah?" "Have you got a girlfriend?" "I think you're too young." "Not ME.MUM!" she said in that no Duh tone of voice. "She's 28 she's pretty and it would help me." "I'm not being funny but I don't go out with women." "Why you're not.are you gay is that why you share a room with a guy?" "No I'm not gay I just had my heart broken a loooooong time ago and never really fixed it to be honest." Tyson admitted. Some might say he was cracking up but he felt... or almost knew ... that Hilary was okay with him telling Tyler. "WHY is this not in the biography?" she asked suddenly very interested. "Don't believe all you read Ty." "So who was she where'd she go?" Tyson laughed.
"She went. away." "You mean she left?" "No she died." "Oh my god I'm so sorry I shouldn't have asked." "It's okay it's been 13 years and I think I'm finally getting over her." He said looking at her. Her brown eyes shimmered with crystal tears. "That is so romantic." She said clutching the pillow close to her stomach. "Are all 13 year old girls the same?" "Some why?" "Because she always thought everything we said was a metaphor and that is was 'so romantic' she was very... awkward at times." "Are you saying I'm awkward?" "No I'm saying that in a lot of ways you're like her..." "O-kay Tyson..." "Yeah?" "I think you're nuts." She stated. "Can I pleeeeeeeease stay up and watch telly with you guys?" she begged. "I suppose what time does your mum let you stay up?" "She lets me stay up late as I like..." "I think..." he started "That you might be telling a little white lie." She face-faulted. "Very clever of you... only I used to do the same to my grandpa." He said leading her through to the living room.
Everyone was accounted for apart from Emily and Max. A crash sounded through the flat followed by a dry sob. "Em what's wrong?" asked Max looking at his girlfriend who just stared ahead tears were falling onto her green blouse. He came up behind her and placed his arms around her waist. She span out of his arms. "Don't." she whispered. She looked hopelessly at the washing up that remained untouched and began soaping down several plates and cups. "Em you've been acting really weird lately what's the matter." She jarred and the plate fell to the floor china spread all over the kitchen. She let out a dry sob. Max panicked. "Emily tell me!" he demanded knowing his girlfriend had been keeping something from him and he didn't like it he felt he should know.
Tyler who was the smallest was sent forward to spy on them. She ducked her head around the door frame. She saw Emily clutching onto the side of the sink and staring determined into the mirror in front. Max was behind her waiting as though expecting her to speak. "Max... I'm afraid." She said in a strangled voice. Max's face softened and he approached her. She turned to face him wiping away her tears from her pale stained cheeks. "What?" "Mum used to tell me that if you sin you go to hell you burn for eternity. when I was about fifteen I was like 'screw you mum I'm living life the way I want to' do you know why?" "Why?" "Because that's when we got together. but now, now I think she was right." "What sins... Emily you're perfect." "NO I'M NOT MAX!!!" she yelled. She suddenly felt her stomach turn she couldn't ignore it any longer. "Emily you're talking crazy." "Max I'm pregnant!" she said. Max's face lit up. "Really?" "Don't sound so exited." "What's wrong?" he asked. He saw no problem. "Yes we might need to move because I'm sure the flat isn't big enough for a new baby but..." "NO Max that's just it... I can't have children I'm... Max I'm scared..." "Why?" "Because Mum said I had to be married before I had kids or I'd go to hell and. Max I'm not keeping it." "I thought abortion was a sin too." "No it's not as bad as a child out of wedlock."
"Em you." "Max my mind's made up I'm. I'm not having this kid!" she said firmly. Max stormed out of the room and nearly knocked Tyler over. Emily followed suit. Max went to the bedroom and locked the door. Emily looked furious. She strode from the flat in a total mood. "What happened?" asked Mariah. Tyler looked sadly at Mariah before retiring to her room in a huff.
Hilary knew she'd be in the one place she could never go. She'd be at Tyson's flat. Hilary knew where it was as Max Emily Ray and Mariah had moved there before her mysterious vanishing. The plan was they would all move in. but all of them didn't accommodate a screaming infant. She headed in that general direction. She crashed headlong into a Ginger woman. "I'm so sorry." The lady said hiding her face. "Em?" questioned Hilary suddenly amazed by Emily. She no longer cared if she was found out all she wanted was her daughter back home safe and sound. "Do I know you?" asked Emily shivering. "Not as such... I'm a friend of a friend... Tyler's mum." "Oh." "When's it due?" asked Hilary. "WHAT?" asked Emily she tried to pull her blouse down over her stomach. "When is it due?" "I'm not keeping it I don't want it." "So you're going to kill it." "You're making me sound evil but it's what's better for the baby..." "I doubt it when I was carrying Tyler I thought about abortion and I even got all the way to the clinic but... I couldn't go through with it. Now look, I have a beautiful daughter... a beautiful daughter who runs away and doesn't even tell me where." "She's at my place if you want me to take you erm... sorry I didn't quite catch your name."
"My name is Hil." she broke off. Hil. An old nickname the lads had given her as a kid. "Okay... it's just down here Hil she's safe don't worry." Emily said. "If I were you I'd think things over before I made my final decision." "Thanks for the advice but I'm. I'm pretty dead set on this." "What does the father have to say about this?"
"His opinion doesn't count." "Hmm in the eyes of the law no in your heart yes." "Like you really consulted Ty's Dad when you were going to have an abortion." "Well that.that was different and there isn't a day that goes by I don't regret my decision to leave but that's the way the cookie crumbles I suppose. You win some you lose some and I lost in a way... I missed out on a great boyfriend but I gained a gorgeous girl didn't I." Emily thought about it. "So you're saying I should let the dad... I mean Max have his say on this?" "Well you're heading for a break-up and a messy court scene if you don't and the court forbids you to get an abortion while the case is in session all he needs to do really is hold the case for about a months and when push comes to shove he's got his own way and he gains custody over the infant."
"Wow you sure know a lot." "I was studying to be a lawyer then..." "Then you got pregnant." "Ironic isn't it." Emily laughed. For the first time in what seemed like forever she laughed. "I think I'll wait down here can you bring her down?" asked Hilary she really, really, really did not want to go see Tyson at the moment. "I suppose but out of curiosity why?" "Well we had a fight so I don't think she'd be very pleased to see me barge in and take her by storm." "Ah I see are they always this stroppy?" "Who?" "Kids." Laughed Emily walking up the stairs swinging her keys.
"Hey Ty come on out." She said. Tyler appeared she had evidently been crying. "What's wrong?" "You...Max... My fault..." "What happened between me and Max was my fault I opened my big mouth without thinking and I think I scared him you know what? I scared myself too." "Really?" "Really! Now Your mum is here for you." "Where is she?" demanded Tyson suddenly standing up. "Why?" "People like her don't deserve to have kids. She let's her run wild she didn't even come looking for her until this time she's been gone a whole day I have half a mind to report her to the social services Tyler deserves better than that! She's evidently unstable." "YOU LEAVE MY MUM ALONE!" defended Tyler. "I'M NOT GOING HOME!" she said firmly and she made to close the door in Emily's face but Emily put her foot in the gap stopping her. "Listen you know what I'm going to tell you this before I tell anybody else okay Tyler.MAX I HOPE YOU'RE LISTENING." There was a noise from the other room which made Tyler raise her eyebrows. "I'm keeping it." She said firmly. Tyler's eyes widened. "CONGRATS!" she cheered. Everyone else just looked confused. Mariah wasn't really interested same with Ray as they were too busy making out on the sofa.
"Where is she Emily?" asked Tyson. "She's downstairs but oh Tyson no!" she yelled charging after him. Tyler followed her bag swinging from her left side constantly bumping against her leg as she flew down the flights of stairs. She may not be the best of friends with her mother at the moment but she didn't want Tyson to yell at her or worse get her taken away from her. "Mum!" Tyler yelled. Tyson was heading towards her at an alarming speed. Hilary span around. "Tyler love you're not..." a hand collided with her cheek. She fell to the floor. "MUM!" screamed Tyler she ran at her. "You... you are an unfit mother!" he said. "I'm unfit because for 13 years I've had to cope all on my own." "I wonder why you probably drove him away like you drove away your daughter." Her eyes met with Tyson and he felt ready to faint. "I left him because I was afraid I thought Tyler was too young to know the truth so I waited until today when I couldn't... no wouldn't hold it back any longer I told her and I thought she'd understand but no she was like me... afraid you have no idea how hard it is Tyson!" she said. Tyson had stopped yelling he was just staring at her. Hilary felt her heart melt. 'Hilary you've done without him for 13 years you can cope without him you don't need him.' 'you do need him you idiot.' 'who're you calling an idiot how would Tyler react.' He brain constantly argued with itself. She didn't even notice when Tyson leaned towards her. Her eyes closed as he gently kissed her. Emily watched from the balcony. She was very confused. But not as confused as Tyler.
A/n: Bit of a cliffy. By the way Tyson doesn't know who she is he just suddenly had the urge to kiss her so don't ask me. I think I'll post this later reviews or no reviews. I'm really upset as I walked into a table today and have a huge bruise on my leg. It hurt like hell but it got me out of PE. Hilary: oh that's so romantic. Tyson: I don't get it. Max: YOU wouldn't

The lady said hiding her face. "Em?" questioned Hilary suddenly amazed by Emily. She no longer cared if she was found out all she wanted was her daughter back home safe and sound. "Do I know you?" asked Emily shivering. "Not as such... I'm a friend of a friend... Tyler's mum." "Oh." "When's it due?" asked Hilary. "WHAT?" asked Emily she tried to pull her blouse down over her stomach. "When is it due?" "I'm not keeping it I don't want it." "So you're going to kill it." "You're making me sound evil but it's what's better for the baby..." "I doubt it when I was carrying Tyler I thought about abortion and I even got all the way to the clinic but... I couldn't go through with it. Now look, I have a beautiful daughter... a beautiful daughter who runs away and doesn't even tell me where." "She's at my place if you want me to take you erm... sorry I didn't quite catch your name."
"My name is Hil." she broke off. Hil. An old nickname the lads had given her as a kid. "Okay... it's just down here Hil she's safe don't worry." Emily said. "If I were you I'd think things over before I made my final decision." "Thanks for the advice but I'm. I'm pretty dead set on this." "What does the father have to say about this?"
"His opinion doesn't count." "Hmm in the eyes of the law no in your heart yes." "Like you really consulted Ty's Dad when you were going to have an abortion." "Well that.that was different and there isn't a day that goes by I don't regret my decision to leave but that's the way the cookie crumbles I suppose. You win some you lose some and I lost in a way... I missed out on a great boyfriend but I gained a gorgeous girl didn't I." Emily thought about it. "So you're saying I should let the dad... I mean Max have his say on this?" "Well you're heading for a break-up and a messy court scene if you don't and the court forbids you to get an abortion while the case is in session all he needs to do really is hold the case for about a months and when push comes to shove he's got his own way and he gains custody over the infant."
"Wow you sure know a lot." "I was studying to be a lawyer then..." "Then you got pregnant." "Ironic isn't it." Emily laughed. For the first time in what seemed like forever she laughed. "I think I'll wait down here can you bring her down?" asked Hilary she really, really, really did not want to go see Tyson at the moment. "I suppose but out of curiosity why?" "Well we had a fight so I don't think she'd be very pleased to see me barge in and take her by storm." "Ah I see are they always this stroppy?" "Who?" "Kids." Laughed Emily walking up the stairs swinging her keys.
"Hey Ty come on out." She said. Tyler appeared she had evidently been crying. "What's wrong?" "You...Max... My fault..." "What happened between me and Max was my fault I opened my big mouth without thinking and I think I scared him you know what? I scared myself too." "Really?" "Really! Now Your mum is here for you." "Where is she?" demanded Tyson suddenly standing up. "Why?" "People like her don't deserve to have kids. She let's her run wild she didn't even come looking for her until this time she's been gone a whole day I have half a mind to report her to the social services Tyler deserves better than that! She's evidently unstable." "YOU LEAVE MY MUM ALONE!" defended Tyler. "I'M NOT GOING HOME!" she said firmly and she made to close the door in Emily's face but Emily put her foot in the gap stopping her. "Listen you know what I'm going to tell you this before I tell anybody else okay Tyler.MAX I HOPE YOU'RE LISTENING." There was a noise from the other room which made Tyler raise her eyebrows. "I'm keeping it." She said firmly. Tyler's eyes widened. "CONGRATS!" she cheered. Everyone else just looked confused. Mariah wasn't really interested same with Ray as they were too busy making out on the sofa.
"Where is she Emily?" asked Tyson. "She's downstairs but oh Tyson no!" she yelled charging after him. Tyler followed her bag swinging from her left side constantly bumping against her leg as she flew down the flights of stairs. She may not be the best of friends with her mother at the moment but she didn't want Tyson to yell at her or worse get her taken away from her. "Mum!" Tyler yelled. Tyson was heading towards her at an alarming speed. Hilary span around. "Tyler love you're not..." a hand collided with her cheek. She fell to the floor. "MUM!" screamed Tyler she ran at her. "You... you are an unfit mother!" he said. "I'm unfit because for 13 years I've had to cope all on my own." "I wonder why you probably drove him away like you drove away your daughter." Her eyes met with Tyson and he felt ready to faint. "I left him because I was afraid I thought Tyler was too young to know the truth so I waited until today when I couldn't... no wouldn't hold it back any longer I told her and I thought she'd understand but no she was like me... afraid you have no idea how hard it is Tyson!" she said. Tyson had stopped yelling he was just staring at her. Hilary felt her heart melt. 'Hilary you've done without him for 13 years you can cope without him you don't need him.' 'you do need him you idiot.' 'who're you calling an idiot how would Tyler react.' He brain constantly argued with itself. She didn't even notice when Tyson leaned towards her. Her eyes closed as he gently kissed her. Emily watched from the balcony. She was very confused. But not as confused as Tyler.
A/n: Bit of a cliffy. By the way Tyson doesn't know who she is he just suddenly had the urge to kiss her so don't ask me. I think I'll post this later reviews or no reviews. I'm really upset as I walked into a table today and have a huge bruise on my leg. It hurt like hell but it got me out of PE. Hilary: oh that's so romantic. Tyson: I don't get it. Max: YOU wouldn't
