A/N: Just a story I'm putting together, mostly for my own amusement. Tyler is overwhelmed and can't control himself any more. Most of my direct thoughts are put at the end of each chapter, if I have any for that chapter that is. Which for this one there is A LOT of thoughts/questions/explanation's I put at the bottom, so check them out.

CHAPTER 5

Damon's POV

"Yeah Jules it's me." I overheard Tyler say so I stopped and started back for the building. Tyler was on the other side of the corner I was behind a couple of meters down. There was a brief pause before Tyler continued

"You said to call if I changed my mind. Well I have. There are just too many problems here and I need to get out."

What an idiot. Did he think I was just going to let him walk away, that he could go unnoticed? No, Tyler isn't sneaky enough to deceive me and he was not getting out of this town unless I want him to.

"How long? … Two or three days?" So I had some time before he was making his getaway. Well I'll have to keep an eye on him during those two days.

"Yeah that's fine Jules. Thank you for helping me out." Tyler said as he hung up

I made my way around the building as I slowly and loudly clapped my hands together. Just three motions that caused Tyler to freeze in place, before he slowly turned towards me. I loved that fear in him. He was blind to it, but it was there, I could see it.

"Well it's settled. I've met some stupid people in my time. But you kid, you take the cake."

"You were spying on me?" He asked through his clenched teeth

"Of course I was. Let me tell you, I would be heartbroken if my poor little puppy ran away from me." I frowned as I took a step forward

"Fuck you." He said as he slammed his eyes shut and I continued my slow advance

"Oh well that wasn't really nice, now was it Rex?" I smiled and stopped now that I was within arm's reach of Tyler

"Shut up!" He growled, his eyes snapped open

Tyler's teeth were exposed as he snarled through them, and his eyes were changed to a golden color.

"Down boy." I smirked

Tyler leaped at me but I easily grounded him. Tyler was on his back and I was over him with a knee on either side of his waist. As quickly as I could I brought my hand back and punched him in the face, then did the same with my other hand. Tyler's eyes were back to normal now, he tried to look away from me but I gripped each side of his head and forced him to look at me.

"You will not go anywhere with Jules. I will kill her, and then you'll be next." I said as I stood up and started walking away towards my car.

Tyler's POV

The moment Damon was off me I got up and walked into the school. Turning around I kicked the first locker insight in, and then punched the one next to it leaving I good sized dent. I took a deep breath and as I released it I turned in the direction of my class. Who the fuck does Damon think he is.

The moment I walked through the door to the classroom all eyes turned to me.

"Good to have you back Tyler." The teacher said as I took my seat

Immediately my phone started vibrating. Stefan had sent me a text.

Tyler you've got blood on your lip. What happened?

I looked over to him on the other side of the room and he was staring at me with a worried expression on his face.

Nothing

Stefan started typing out a message

Tyler you can trust me, whatever is going on I only want to help.

I looked back over at Stefan and shook my head, then noticed Caroline looking back and forth between me and Stefan. Caroline pulled out her phone.

What's going on Tyler?

I looked over at her as I typed my message

Nothing

She started sending another message, but this time it was to Stefan…

For the rest of the class, which was five minutes, I didn't bother to even look at them.

As I walked out of class I went straight to the bathroom. After I was done I started washing my hands, then I proceeded to splash some water on my face. I looked up at the mirror to find Stefan and Caroline standing behind me.

"What? You guys double teaming me?" I asked

"Ty, just tell us what's going on." Caroline said

"You're not even allowed in here Forbes." I said as she winced at my use of her last name.

"Tyler, we know something is up. So you can tell us and we can help, or you can continue to go through a self-isolation." Stefan said

"Tyler, no matter what you think. You don't have to be alone." Caroline said

"Are you guys done?" I said

"Tyler …" Stefan started but I interrupted, "Look, I don't need to report to you about what goes on in my life."

I took a few steps forward as I went to make my leave. But Caroline grabbed hold of my arm as she sniffed.

"What's that smell?" She sniffed again, "Is that what I think it is?" She asked frowning

"Fuck off." I said as I pulled my arm out of her grip

As I walked out of the bathroom I stopped to listen.

"He's on drugs again?" Caroline asked

"I guess so. But that's not it. Tyler is hiding something, something more than a drug problem." Stefan said

"Like What?" Caroline asked

"I don't know. But I overheard Damon talking to your mom, then Damon and Tyler left together." Stefan said

What the fuck was with him? Why was he so nosy? Why was everyone being so stubborn? Couldn't everyone just leave me the fuck alone? Fuck it.

I started down the hallway and noticed Matt putting up a flyer for some live music at The Grill tonight. I stopped to look over the flyer while Matt studied me for a moment. Matt started to walk away with a sigh.

"I'm sorry." I said while keeping my eyes on the flyer, "I just can't do it anymore."

"What? You can't be my friend anymore?" He said as he turned around with a look on his face that I never seen before

"I can't do any of it anymore. I just need to get out of here." I said

"So what? You're leaving?" He asked

"Yeah, I think I am." I replied

"Are you stupid?" He said then paused, "Tyler … Look at me!" He raised his voice enough to turn some heads

I slowly turned towards him but kept my eyes on the ground. "Tyler, I said look at me." He waited for me to face him before continuing

"What are you thinking? Where are you going to go? What are you going to do? You think your mom's just going to let you go off on your own? Have you thought any of this through?"

"I have, and I didn't tell you so you could try and stop me." I said wanting to believe my own words because truthfully I didn't want to live, but deep down I knew that I had to. Things were just getting to heavy here.

"What did you think I was going to do? Throw you a going away party and so boy voyage? You're my best friend Tyler and leaving like this isn't the answer."

"But this is the only option I have." I said

"You're wrong." He said

"I'm not."

"You don't honestly believe that running away is the only option. There's got to be another way." He said

"I've tried, but I realize now that I should have left a while ago." I said

"So that's it then." He said

"I guess so."

"You guess so? Tyler whatever is going on, you need to tell me. I'm not going to let you just throw away your life, let me help you."

Before I could answer the bell rang

"Look we're late. I got to get to class." I said

As I turned around I felt Matt's hand grab my shoulder, I could have easily shrugged it off but I stopped.

"Tyler, we're not done here. Class can wait." He said

"The discussion is over Matt. I'm leaving, deal with it." I said trying to sound as careless as I could manage

As I shrugged Matt's hand off I started walking away. All while Matt Called after me.

"Tyler … Tyler come back here. … Tyler!" He yelled as I turned down another hallway

I hated to do that to him. Matt was my best friend and the only guy that I could truly rely on. He stuck by me even through all my bullshit but never let me get out of line. Matt was always the most trustworthy guy I knew and to put this on him wasn't fair. But it wouldn't feel right to not say goodbye.

I entered my classroom late getting a look from the teacher, and of course Caroline and Bonnie, well Bonnie actually looked like she hated my guts. Matt walked in a minute after I did and this had Caroline ripping out her cell phone right away, probably to demand to know where he was. I lost my focus and idly watched as Caroline texted Matt then Matt back to her. Caroline started typing another text to Matt… Nope, that text was for me.

I pulled out my phone to check the message.

What the hell do you mean you are leaving?

I quickly replied to her

What does it matter, why do you keep getting in my business?

It didn't take Caroline long to reply.

Tyler you can't just leave

I typed out my reply.

And why the hell not Caroline? Give me a reason why I should stay? What is here that doesn't suck?

When Caroline got my reply she looked heart broken, and it took her a moment before she started typing a reply.

Um, hello. Your friends Ty, or do we all just suck?

I looked up at her but she wasn't looking at me anymore.

Whatever, I'm done with this conversation

Of course I should have known Caroline wouldn't let this go.

Whatever Damon is doing, we can help you Tyler. Just let us, please.

The moment I saw Damon's name in the text I crushed my phone in my hands. Caroline looked back upon hearing it break and gave me a sympathetic look. Quickly I got up as I slid my now broken phone into my pocket and walked out of class, all while the teacher asked me where I was going. I had to get out of here. I could not handle any more of these questions and interrogations. Why couldn't they all just mind their own business? As I walked out the front door I went straight to my car and climbed in the back. I reached for the stereo and played the music through my iPod, and then laid back on the seat.

A/N: First I would like to say, there will be some more Damon/Tyler moments in the upcoming chapters, maybe even the next. For anyone who wants to know, Tyler will be put back on Damon's blood again in upcoming chapters. I could take this story in so so SO many directions, I've seen a lot of them in my mind already, but I want to know what majority of my readers want. So let me know what you think this story should turn into in future chapters, also, what do you like about the story? What do you not like? I think its long enough now to ask that…

Alright so here's what's happening. I'm going to be slowing down the updates on this, and no it's not because I'm bored with the story and I'm not punishing all the people who read it. The reason is that season 2 is over, and as you can see my story follows slightly to the main story. I figure I'll be getting at least another 8 chapters and at the most, and this is a huge leap, 18 more chapters.

This all depends on what I come up with, I'll try to drown it out a bit, and I have some ideas for some final chapters, until season 3 starts, involving Damon running into Tyler while all crazy from the wolf bite. That should be interesting to write, I'll just have to think of what is going to happen, if you guys have any preference for that future chapter let me know because I want to write what you want to read :D

Yes this is almost done… The story is not going to end after season 2… It will be on a break whenever I finish up to the last episode in chapters, possibly like 8-18 more chapters, then it will pick up right when season 3 starts. You can probably tell from this chapter that I'm already trying to start drowning this story out a bit.

Wow, I think that's the longest A/N I've ever done for any story O.O lol
