38. Won't let go.

Tyler POV,

"Tenor please, let me explain.." I plead.

I've been calling and pleading for like 30minutes now but he hasn't opened the door.

I see dad coming, "we need to talk."

"Dad, not now.."

" I said.. we need to talk!" he says raising his voice at me , this is the first time raising his voice at me like this , I decide to follow him without anymore words.

In the sitting room I find mom pacing around , Tayler is sitting on the floor still crying.

" How could you do that to your poor sister?! She has been struggling with that part of her life , just when she found happiness you come reap it away?!" Mom shouts at me but I don't say anything back because my mind isn't here, I just wanna talk to him and explain myself.

"All you ever do is make trouble, is there actually something on this planet you can do right??" She adds.

.. loving him ,, I can love him right,, I think to myself.

Dad comes in, "You..! How exactly did you turn gay in just a blink of an eye? I smelt something fishy between you two! I saw the tention between you two.. and I didn't wanna say anything because it sounded so impossible.. and now this?! You've got to be joking!"

Mom, " What shocks me so much right now is that , he knew Tenor before he came here?! And you even dare fool him , playing with him like ! Pretending to your sister!?

Do you have an idea what that boy has gone through?? Just as he was coming out of his closet, out of the darkness he was living in , allowing himself to interact with people , you go and reap that away from him too?!?"

" I did not fo..." I try to explain but dad cut me .

" Shut your mouth! You don't get to say anything." dad cuts me sharply.

" You came between those two and ruined something good they had, and don't even for a second think that you'll be living in this house calling yourself gay after taking people's happiness away from them, I don't remember giving birth to a gay kid,, and if you were gay.. it would have shown a long time ago." Mom says eying me angrily.

" Why are y..." Mom cuts me again as I was trying to talk, but now my patience has flown away.

"I won't keep quiet and let you accuse me of something I didn't do.. I "

I stop talking after hearing the sound of a suitcase on the stairs, I run towards the sound . He's leaving! He's fuckin' leaving!

He is so wrong if he thinks am gonna let him go away like this , I'll make things right, I won't let him go and suffer there because of me after his family did that to him.

I go meeting him ..

" So you won't even give me a chance to explain? I have no excuse to give for lying to you ,, but leaving like this? Don't you think it's inhuman to both of us? Weren't you the one who told me that no one is perfect on this planet? I made a mistake and you can punish me with every way possible you feel like but please don't leave like this Tenor."

He don't say anything, he keeps walking as if he hasn't heard anything . Well , you're very wrong if you think am going to let you go , love.

" Tenor,, you said you won't forget that I love you.. whatever happens In the future , remember? Am sorry . I've broke your trust , Am not forcing you to trust me again but can you at least stay so that we can talk." Am even crying because the emotions inside me have become unbearable .

He still doesn't say anything, we're all following him but am the only person talking, am afraid to even touch him because I don't know what he's thinking right now . We get near the front door and I block him from opening it .

" Move " his voice so hoarse and low.

"Look, you're very wrong if you think am gonna let you go like this Tenor , you think running is the best solution? You think going away will make it better, that's so narrow minded of you, I made a mistake, I didn't know we will end up here, how do you know.. maybe that was our destiny to meet like that, am really sorry okay?! Tenor , I know you love me and so do I , I love you so much that am afraid the moment you walk out of this door there will be no more oxygen for me to breath anymore , please let's fix this,, running is not a solution I promise you. This will be the first and last time am doing anything to hurt you, I swear to you,, please stay. "

" Move " he repeats as if a warning this time.

" Ugh! You stubborn rascal , am trying to be nice but it's not working so how about this, you'll have to kill me for me to let go of what is between us, do you understand? You want me to move ? You can as well forget about that because you ain't going nowhere, I feel so bad for what I did , alright? And letting you go will make it worse. Tenor.. did we overcome our fear of telling the truth just to end here?! It was a one time mistake, it won't repeat ever again, I promise."

" You made fool of me ! " he says his voice still so hoarse "I've been stressing.. wondering how my feelings changed drastically from your sister to you but turns out it was you from the start ! And you didn't even think that telling me about it after we made things clear between us was important! I trusted you Tyler, I felt like I could trust you , you told me to trust you and sit back and relax, is this what I get? You made me a fool!

I come here and you match me with your sister knowing very well she wasn't the one I was talking to, you and your sister play with my mind and feelings like a toy.. just when I thought at last I've found a person I can trust , but turns out the world has nothing better to offer to me, my destiny so ba...." He chocks on his words and the next thing we know he's on the floor.

He passed out ,, dad calls the doctor so fast while mom and I help him back to his room, we lay him on the bed, mom checks him , he's still breathing but faintly, mom doesn't even look at me , why is she being like this to me ?

Forget about that, I'll deal with it later, now am just glad that Tenor is still here and the only thing worrying me now is if he's gonna be alright.

Dad comes in with the doctor after 15minutes , he checks him.
