29. Thanksgiving dinner.

Tyler POV,

Last time we had Thanksgiving dinner it was at uncle Miles home.. my dad's brother and now it is our turn to host, it always go round and round like that , I guess the next one will be at our grandparents home.

°°°" Look at you.. growing into a handsome young man , just like me back then, you really took after grandpa.." my grandfather from my dad's side say as he hugs me at the door since I was the one who opened the door for them.

Dad laughs as he corrects his father , "Dad , those looks are mine, stop taking the credit that is not yours."

" And where exactly did you get those if not from us??" Grandma sides with her husband , attacking my daf. We laugh as they keep arguing for nothing.

The door opens and uncle Charlie, auntie Cara and three of my cousins that we're almost same age, 2 girls and 1 boy enters, " "ahaaa look who's here." dad says as he hug them, uncle Charlie and I do our own style of greeting that we Formed ourselves, there are a lot of long time no Sees' in the air.

"And where is that queen of mine??" Grandpa asks referring to Tayler.

Speaking of her , where are they?? I haven't seen them since the guests started coming in,, I shouldn't bother myself with them right now .

I don't want a breakdown now..I know Well the effect it has on me when I think that my sister and the guy i love ,,love each other, besides , there are alot of things to distruct me now .

"Heeey dude..you have no idea how I've been longing for this arrival,,c'mon, I'll be the first to tell this time , then you go next , I can't wait to hear about Lexy." Brandon.. my cousin.. say pulling me to my room.

Everytime we meet all we do is talk about girls and all that, my cousin is a trouble maker just like me that's why I like to hangout with him .

In my room••••

".....and tell you what?! the moment she said I love you too..I kissed her without hesitation!" he looks at me after saying that , his face full of disappointment, " dude, are you even listening??"

Usually I would be listening curiously, excitement pouring out of me especially when he reaches to romance parts.

" Of course am listening, but your girl this time sound boring, wait until you hear about Lexy, let me pick some snacks first, am coming." I say leaving the room , there's nothing to tell about Lexy, I haven't paid attention to her lately because I was busy thinking of a solution to get rid of my feelings for Tenor, am doing this for her anyway.

All that time Bran has been rambling on and on I haven't heard a single word, only for those last words when he asked me if I was listening, am not okay at all , because I can't stop imagining where Tenor is,, and what he's doing with Lexy.

My body goes numb , my heart and head aches so badly just imagining the possible things they could be doing.

When I told Bran am gonna look for snacks ,, of course i wasn't, that was an excuse. 

I start looking for them in the possible places they could be, in Lexy's room no, Tenor's room no, they're not here either, I go to other guest rooms thinking they could be there but no, why am I thinking that they could be in a room doing some nasty things , they could have gone out somewhere.

I feel like am gonna suffocate anytime because air seems to have become less around me , so I want to go out and catch some air , I don't want to pass from where people in the living room are sitting or any other door because I could meet them anywhere, I know now the number have increased.. the last thing I want now is someone to bother me. Right now I don't have energy to even exchange greetings.

I go to the store room where I always use to sneak out through the window no matter how mom asks me to stop doing that claiming that I'll fall one day and break my bones because it's on the second floor , there's a balcony out there so I was just gonna stand there at the balcony, just perfect because the window is at the back of the house and no one will see me jumping out.

I enter and close the door so slowly , I head to the window, just as am about to open it , I hear Tayler's voice which doesn't sound pleased at all , my hand freezes on the window, why were they so quiet at first, she speaks, " aren't you the one who was insisting that we tell them , why are you changing your mind again?!"

He doesn't answer anything, Tayler speaks again "Tenor , aren't you gonna say anything??"

Wait , Why doesn't he want to tell our parents anyway, he really wanted to , and even Tayler told me that they had agreed that they'll announce that they are dating during Thanksgiving dinner ,, what now are they fighting for?!

" I don't know, something doesn't feel right. " I hear the voice that has been intoxicating to me these past few days.

" I told you not to worry, everyone is gonna be happy about it, I know what am talking about, especially Tyler and mom."

The moment she said that my heart aches even more, what makes her think I'll be happy about it.

▪▪●●▪▪●▪●▪¤¤¤▪

Tenor POV,

There it goes again,, racing at just the mention of his name. Tayler is thinking that am afraid to tell her family that we're dating but that's not it, my problem is Tyler , there's something about him that I can't put my finger on it.

And the worst part that makes my head ache even more by thinking about it is that, when I meet him in the house and when our eyes meet or even when I talk to him.. my heart would race so badly, but am standing here with my girlfriend, so close to her, she even pecked my lips for goodnight last night but my heart is so quiet.

The other day Tyler only looked at my lips and I could hardly stand straight, what on Earth is going on?! Am really confused.

Everytime am with Tayler and he's looking at me I always feel like am doing something wrong.

" Hey, what are you thinking about?" she brings me back to reality by asking.

" I think my problem is Tyler." I say unconsciously.

"He has no problem with us ,trust me, I know why am saying that." she insists.

Suddenly we hear something falling inside the room , what is that? Has someone been in here? We push the window at the same time and I peek inside , I look in the whole room but there's no one .

" aah.. down here." I lower my head to where the voice has come from.. what?! Tyler ?? What was he doing here ? Is he hurt or something.

I jump inside , "I think I just broke my bone." he says holding his leg .

"Let me see, this is what you get for eavesdropping at people's conversations" I say acting unconcerned but am worried about him.

"Tayler , bring the first aid kit , it's just a brush on the skin, it'll be fine just ." I say .

" I wasn't eavesdropping, I just got here with the intention of catching some air outside because inside there are alot of people. " he says avoiding my eyes .

Tayler comes in breathing fast due to running I guess, I take the box from her before she even enters through the door .

He's hurt on his left knee only and it's just a bruise, he had already lifted his sweatpant up, I realized he likes wearing them with baggy t-shirts.

" Don't touch me , give me the box, I'll do it myself." what a stubborn brat.

" You can't do it yourself and you know that." If he thinks he's stubborn , I can be more stubborn!

"Then Tayler can do it" he says.

Tayler, " Why do you always have to be stubborn in every situation, fine I'll do it , Tenor give me the box."

I put the box behind me not giving her nor him, I want to do it , I just wanna do it . I go where Tayler is and whisper to her , " let me do it , you go and look at the situation down stairs , we'll tell them at dinner, okay??"

" Okay " she agrees happily.

" What are you whispering there? Am hurting here and you are there whispering and flirting,, give me the damn box. " he says irritatibly.

 I know for sure the reason why I want Tayler to go is not that, she heads to the door and after she leaves I close the door.

"Why is she leaving ? Hey, why are you closing the door?" he askes as if afraid of something. " Tenor just give me the box , you can go , I can really do it myself, go" how he says my name.. I really wanna hear him say it again.

" Why should I go ? Can't you handle being in one room with me?"

He look at me surprised, looking as if I've just hit the point, "Wh..what do..you mean by that??" He stutters.

I have no idea why I said that, it just came out own it's own, "I don't know , maybe because you're acting like that, c'mon, let me help you." I go closer to him and again am having this weird feeling.

Something is really up here, and I want to find out now.
