A/N: Okay so i'm sorry for the delay I wanted to make sure that this chapter was completed the best way possible, writers block is a serious thing. Lol I promise these two will get somewhere soon. I don't want to rush anything, I know where I want them to eventually end up. Btw Tyler knows he's a werewolf even though i've skipped around the paranormal stuff. Enjoy :)
Jeremy POV
It's past 1 am when I finally started reaching my house. I wasn't even the slightest bit tired. Flashbacks of Tyler's face, his beautiful, captivating dark eyes staring deep into his. The way his body responded when he would catch me staring at him aimlessly. How he sat so close to me, my mind racing, body unresponsive, encased in his presence, some unknown force binding him to his spot. How stupid I felt when our heads collided, and instead of the usual rage that would ensue, the impossible happened. Tyler reached over and started to run his hands along my injury. Even though it hurt I couldn't bring myself to stop him. I loved every second of it, it felt so strange, so foreign. Then there was the part where I thought he was going to kiss me. That I couldn't wrap my head around. Did he really like me or was it a heat in the moment thing? And what was that going on downstairs, was his mother okay? He seemed embarrassed but not at all worried like if this is something that Mrs. Lockwood was prone to. There was no way that whatever happened between us to was okay. I know Tyler and we've been enemies since day 1 and nothing would change that. Right? Ugh I don't even know anymore this is frustrating. All of these thoughts started making me feel uneasy and I don't like being this confused. I have enough problems to deal with. Feeling frustrated I walked into the house and made my way into the room and just tossed myself in bed.
Tyler POV
I wake up to the only headache, it was the longest night of my life. Jeremy and whatever that was, and then my mother coming home again in her drunken stupor. Of all nights she had to come early tonight. Watching Jeremy gather his things and running out of my room was the worst. I wanted to make him stay. I never expected anything like this and these new found emotions coursing through my body. It almost feels like my body yearns for him to be near. Okay Lockwood, easy, you know how dangerous this can be. These feelings for the youngest Gilbert aren't anything new. I always had a thing for him but I neglected it due to our social expectations. I never thought about pursuing anything either, me and him never really got along. I always figured that these confusing thoughts would never see the light of day and now I can't get over this feeling of wanting to see him. I wanted to know what he had felt last night. Why didn't he push away when I touched him, why did he seem so comfortable when all I've ever done was treat him like crap. That smile, ugh that sweet beautiful fucking smile! Without thinking I put on whatever clothes I come across and deem okay and head straight for the door. I make my way over to the Gilbert's and start increasingly becoming nervous. I park my car and turn off the engine and just sit there in silence not sure of what to do next. This had became extremely frustrating it wasn't a feeling that he was used to. He was always used to dating people and leaving them and not having to deal with all this bullshit but Jeremy was something new.
Jeremy POV
With barely enough sleep I manage to wake up and actually be ready on time for school. Elena seems rather reluctant when she spots me.
"Wow you're ready on time for once, and I didn't need to use compulsion," she says playfully, but i'm aware that she's taken aback at my mission to head to school.
"Yeah I just wanted to make sure I made it to first period for once" I say nonchalant. I'm trying to mask this eagerness that I have, to see Tyler this morning and i'm pretty sure i'm failing. Even though i'm sure she sees right through whatever I just told her, she gives in and decides to not question my actions any further. I figure she'd be okay as long as i'm in school. We start heading out the door when my heart does a flip. I see Tyler waiting in his car staring aimlessly into space. I guess I didn't have to rush to school after all, the figure of my disposition was waiting patiently outside my house. For a second I ponder how long he'd been there. Again the uneasy feeling sets in, I don't think i'm ready to face whatever might have happened last night. He finally lifts his head when our eyes meet, this feeling like cold water runs through my body. Paralyzed.
"Is that Tyler?" oh god here we go.
"Uh yeah. What." I walk over Elena closely behind.
He rolls down the window, "hey I had some questions about our project I need to ask, i'll drive you to school." He gives me this intense stare that almost looked like a beg and I couldn't say no.
I look back at Elena and give her a reassuring look.
"Are you sure Jer," she glances over at Tyler and gives him a look.
"Yeah, me and ty have this project, I'll be fine i'll text you later" and with that I climb in and relax a bit when she heads off to her car. We sit and watch as Elena gets in and wait for them to drive off. Suddenly my body temperature seemed to have climbed to a million degrees. My mind in a blank state, my palms burning from the heat radiating from my body. I look over at Tyler and to my surprise he's looking at me rather intently.
Tyler POV
Ugh he's so fucking beautiful! Those eyes, those lips.. stop it Tyler you don't want to scare him off. Getting him to come in the car was easier than he expected. Almost relieved that Elena hadn't probed him about his abnormal behavior. This however is the hard part.
"Uh hey".
Jeremy slowly turns and looks at me. His body seems tense, I want so badly to calm him down, my inner self wants to grab him but I know that it'll freak him out. I'm beginning to become a little apprehensive at these thoughts im consumed in.
"Why are you here?" his statement made rather harshly but a hint of remorse.
"I don't know.. I just... I don't know.." At a loss for words because, I really didn't know why I was here besides the incessant thoughts of everything Jeremy.
"Well you better start driving before Elena gets upset." at that I turned on the car and head towards campus.
The drive was rather quiet for the most part. Neither of us saying anything it started driving me crazy. "Sorry about last night, my mother must have had a little too much fun"
"Don't sweat it man, I won't say anything." he looks over.
I glide into the parking space and turn off the engine and we sit still. I look at him and to my surprise he's looking at me. His expression questioning as if he's trying to read my thoughts. We just sit there looking at each other as minutes pass.
"Can we meet tonight, around 6 i'll pick you up." he withdraws his stare and blushes. "Uh yeah." and with that he instantly walks out the car and heads to the building.
Please Review :) ! It makes me want to write faster
