A/n: Alert the media, I am actually writing an authors' note, AFTER I finished the chapter. Crazy, but I just was so psyched to write this one out, I couldn't write an A/n. You people are gonna wanna kill me, LOL, but I'm flashing back to before Jeremy found Tyler in his room. This is showing you why he was there. Hope you like it! ENJOY! =)

Chapter 9

Captivating;

(-every last move)

(Tyler's p.o.v)

I'm an idiot. I wanted it. I started it. Now fucking look at me. Flirting with her and I don't even know her name. Sick. I just couldn't talk to him. He was coming right at me and I just wasn't ready. I did the only thing I could do. The Lockwood thing. I'm sick of it.

I asked her some meaningless question and just walked out of the hall. I didn't know what Jeremy was doing. I didn't even know if he saw. Fucking idiot. I'm Tyler frickin Lockwood, I shouldn't have to dodge anyone. Especially not Jeremy Gilbert. (Buuuut he was. He decided it was stupid. Enough was enough. It'll be a short conversation and he wouldn't have dodge him anymore.)

Classes are almost over. His classroom's across the hall from my locker. It'll be easy, c'mon man. Just go to your locker, catch him when he walks out and talk. Fuck.

(p.o.v over)

Tyler was ready. He was confident and calm. Surprisingly. He hadn't really known exactly what he was going to say, but he knew it was something along the lines of, "I'm not gay, but fooling around wouldn't hurt." Shit, he thought. He couldn't say that. It'd offend Jeremy. And Tyler didn't want that. Damn.

As Tyler shut his locker and turned to Jeremy's classroom, he saw them. He saw that girl flirting with him. And he was checking her out. Tyler saw it. He saw Jeremy's eyes look her up and down. Shameless bastard. He knew it was irrational and he knew he didn't have a legitimate reason, but Tyler was pissed. So he did the only thing irrational and pissed people do; he followed them. Discreet, of course. Yeah right. But it didn't seem as if he was noticed.

He saw Jeremy and that girl eat together. Tyler did everything he could not to look like some crazy stalker. In between him staring at Jeremy giving his number to that floozy, he stopped and talked to Matt and Caroline. (Who at this point are still together.)

"What are you staring at?" Caroline noticed and immediately called him out.

"Nothin'," Tyler was practically fuming. But he had to keep his cool. So he played it off and smiled and talked to the nauseating love birds.

But of course as soon as the lunch period was over, he had to remain trailing Jeremy and that, that thing.

They separated paths and Tyler found himself slightly relieved. At that point, he knew he was losin' it. He had just stalked Gilbert and was feeling an odd possessive anger towards him. He knew he had no right. He knew he practically told Jeremy to forget about the thing and Tyler knew he had openly flirted with some cheerleader right where Jeremy could see. But through all of these realizations, Tyler was still mad.

He was going to talk to Jeremy and see if it did mean nothing or if, if it meant anything at all and before he could, that tramp had gotten in the way. (Or at least that's how Tyler saw it.)

School had let out an hour ago and Tyler made the decision to go over to Gilberts' house and call him out. If anything, find out who that hussy was. Tyler couldn't believe how jealous he had gotten. He knew he was out of his friggin mind over being jealous of a...girl. But he was. He had to clear his head. Oddly he came to the conclusion that he'd do that by getting some answers from Jeremy. Tyler found himself doing the most craziest thing he'd ever done.

He was climbing a tree that had led to Jeremy Gilberts' bedroom window. All at the same time, he was being monkey boy and was breaking and entering.

Yup. He'd lost it.

A/n: Soo? What'd ya think? Let me know in a review. I've started all ready on Ch 10.

I'm so excited! (Which is sosad, hahaha.)
