All or Nothing
I know when he's been on your mind
That distant look is in your eyes
I thought with time you'd realize it's over, over
It's not the way I choose to live
And something some where's gotta give
A share in this relationship gets older, older
Tyler stormed out of the building slamming the door open as he did so, Jeremy ran after yelling for him to stop but he kept going. When he finally court up with him Tyler pulled his arm away from his grip, "When are you going to get, Jere? He doesn't want you anymore he's too interested in your sister!" Tyler said, "Unlike me. I love you Jeremy."
"Tyler, I know, OK? I know but…"
"No! No more buts!" Tyler shouted.
You know I'd fight for you but how could I fight someone who isn't even there
I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you I don't care if that's not fair
"I would do anything to keep you and I have," Tyler said moving closer to him, "But I refuse to stand here and have to fight against someone who doesn't even want you anymore." Jeremy's face paled at his words, "You have to make a choice."
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
there's nowhere left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
"Tyler, I don't…are you leaving me?" Jeremy asked unsure.
"Would that get your attention?" Tyler spat out bitterly, "I'm not leaving but I want to know that you love me and that there's no one else. I don't want this to end but…I will if I have to." Tyler walked away from him as he stood there with his mouth opened.
There are time it seems to me
I'm sharing you with memories
I feel it in my heart but I don't show it , show it
Then there's times you look at me
As thought I'm all that you could see
Those times I don't believe it's right I know it , know it
Tyler had to admit, Jeremy was trying. He held onto his hand as Tyler drove them down near the Lockwood plantation. When Tyler looked over at Jeremy he smiled at him before going back to facing the path. He turned to face him slowly and shook his head. He was thinking about him again; Fucking Stefan Salvatore! The kid screwed Jeremy over to get to his sister.
Jeremy hadn't gotten over him. Tyler squeezed his hand making Jeremy look over at him; he smiled and kissed the older teen on the cheek. Jeremy did love him and he knew this but he seemed to love the other guy more.
They pulled up outside the plantation and Tyler stopped the car before turning to Jeremy, "Thank you," He said, "For trying, I mean." Jeremy smiled as he leaned in and gently kissed Tyler.
Don't make me promises baby you never did know how to keep them well
I had the rest of you now I want the best of you it's time to show and tell
Tyler pulled away with scoff, "You're thinking about him again aren't you?" Jeremy started to babble about how he wouldn't do that because he doesn't Stefan anymore, "Then why'd you say his name?" Jeremy looked down at his feet making Tyler roll his eyes.
"I'll stop, OK? I promise!"
"Don't! Alright, just don't! You obviously can't keep one!" Tyler yelled his fist and jaw clenched.
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's nowhere left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
"Tyler, please!" Jeremy begged as Tyler walked away. Tyler walked up to his home and slammed shut his front door. His mother and Damon looked up at him in shock. Tyler wasn't surprised to see Damon he and his mother had become very close.
"What's wrong?" Damon asked suddenly, Tyler didn't say anything "Is there anything I can do?"
"You can tell your brother he won!" Tyler snapped walking up the stairs.
Cause you and I
Could lose it all if you've got no more room
Nowhere inside for me in your life
He lay on his bed and stared up at the wall, he couldn't believe this! Something good happens and then something screws it up! He hated himself right now and he hated Stefan, and Damon and his mom. And he hated Jeremy. Especially Jeremy! Tyler sighed. He didn't hate Jeremy he loved him. He'd do anything for him and they both knew it.
Cause I want it all
Or Nothing at all
There's nowhere left to fall
It's now or never
Tyler needed to apologize. He got into his car and drove down to Jeremy's house. His aunt and Elena weren't home so they would have time to talk and work this out. He hoped. He ran up to the porch as it began to rain, great timing, he thought to himself sarcastically. He knocked on the door and waited. He heard rustling from inside but chooses to ignore it.
When the door opened it took everything Tyler had not to throw a punch as Stefan stood there in the doorway shirtless. Jeremy walked into the hallway and froze.
Is it all
Or Nothing at all
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
Jeremy ran out after him as Tyler walked away from him, "Tyler, please? I'm sorry, I was upset and Stefan wanted to be a good friend and help me. Then one thing led to another and…" Jeremy was stopped when Tyler interrupted.
"You screwed him? This was exactly what I was talking about! We have one fight and you go off and fucking sex with the son of a bitch!" Tyler yelled viscously, "I won't…I can't take this anymore Jeremy. I refuse. When he leaves you again, you're on your own." He said walking away for the last time.
