Chapter 11: Millie:Jealous

I was studying for three hours straight, not as straight as Tyler though, Anyway, I'm gonna watch my serie now, I'm done studying.

Suddenly someone was knocking on the door, Heather is in the shower so I should open.

I walk downstairs, to the door and open it, Tyler was standing there in the dark,

"So how was your da..?"

When I realized he was not fine, he had bruises and can barely stand, he hold onto the door and said "Not as bad as it looks",

I rushed to hold him before he falls to the ground

"Oh MY GOD Tyler, what happened? Who did this to you?"

We walked to the living room where I sat him on the couch.

"Lay down here, I'm gonna get you a cup of water".

I rushed to the kitchen filled the cup of water and gave it to him. He drink and say "Thank you, umm, I'm sorry I came knocking at your door late at night" and he mourns in pain,

"Hey no it's okay, what happened? You can tell me."

I sat on the table in front of him, he sighed and said

"Nothing, don't worry about it, some jerks were bored and wanted to have some fun that's it".

"But are you hurt? Where do you feel pain?" He puts his hand on his stomach

"I think they broke my rib". I gasp "What?! Why didn't you tell me before! I'm calling the ambulance"

I went to search for my phone, I called them and told them what happened, when i came back I witnessed Heather sitting on the edge on the couch next to him, holding his hands and she seemed really worried, like always, I had this feeling inside my heart i don't know what it was, I've never felt it before, but that's not good.

I walked to them and said "I called the ambulance, they should be here in 10" Heather turns to face him again  she looked him in the eyes and said "I'm so, so sorry Tyler this is my fault, if I didn't send you to that date you'd be fine now" Tyler gets his upper body up

"No, no, don't say that, it wasn't your fault, how would you have known that would happen?"

I stood there watching them comforting each other, when all i did was get him a glass of water, and put him in more pain.

The ambulance arrived, we were about to get in there too, but they said only one of us could come with him, even though i wanted to be the one who's staying with him, i sacrified, cause he deserves her more

"Heather you go, you're his friend, he needs you". She thank me and get in the ambulance with him, he gave me the look like he wanted me there too, but i guess I'm wrong, I'm too traumatised to think straight.

Who did this and why, of course i don't buy the story he told me, it's not logical like why would they be bored and just beat him up, and break his rib, it has something to do with revenge, or hatred. They had a reason.

The next day I woke up early went to the bakery, brought some donuts and croissants, then went to the hospital. Tyler was still sleeping, Heather met up with me later.

When he woke up, we entered his room and before anyone could say anything i asked "Hey, how do you feel?"

He smiled "Better now that you're here... both of you."

I smiled unintentionally, "I brought you breakfast, can you eat?"

"According to whatever you brought, I will an answer"

"Hahah" I laugh genuinely "Well,.. you fat ass, I got donuts and croissants"

"Hey, I am not a fat ass don't call me that,  my whole body is muscular and well shaped,... great shaped"

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that, fat ass jerk", he laughed "Don't make me laugh"

Heather looks at us and says "You two get along well i see"

He looked at me and said "Yeah, what can I do your cousin is cute"

I blush, so I quickly change the subject

"Well, I'm gonna talk to the doctor, get well soon". I left them alone.

After a couple of days, he was sent home, Heather and I visited him at least well everyday. Today, Heather was busy so I went alone.

"Hey how are you today?"

"Dead. I can't stay in bed for another day, I never thought I'd say that one day, but I want to go to school"

I sat on the chair next to his desk "No you can't, the doctor said no sports, no sudden movements, you need to relax and let it heal without hurting yourself."

"I know, i know, but I feel like a zombie, I want to get out of the house"

"Well, zombie jerk, you need to rest, and by the way, did you put ice on it today?" He hits his forehead "Oh shit, no I forget."

"You have on job, all you have to do is put ice. It's okay I'll help you"

I bring the back of ice and put it on his shirt, "Get your shirt off." I said seriously, he starred at my eyes and said teasing "Well, the doctor said I can't make sudden movements or sports, what were you expecting so soon?"

I could feel my cheeks turn red

"NO! You idiot, I just... because the ice will melt on your shirt,  so it's better if you take it off..."

He laugh, "I'm messing with you no need to get all worked up"

"Just, shut up and do what I tell you."

"Okay, bossy tigress." He get his shirt off, and god damn, those abs, this body  I am speechless, again.

I put the ice on his abs, I mean on his stomach, where the broken rib is.

"Hold it where you feel pain"

He took it from me, our hands touched, he looked at me, I was already blushing and looking at the floor.

God damn, how many time is he gonna make me blush, get a hold of yourself girl.

You can't like him, you can't even think of it, he likes Heather, and he will never see me more than a friend, no one ever did, huh, no one ever did see me as a friend in the first place, so don't get your heart broken by a player and focus on your studies.

"So, Heather didn't come with you today?" He break the silence.

"Oh, um, no she was busy, I'm sure she'll come tomorrow."

He doesn't care that I came he wants her, of course he wants her, what am i anyway?

"No, it's okay, at least you came"

he looked at my lips, Oh my gosh, is he about to kiss me??? No, it can't be.

We are so close he puts his hand on my face, and push me towards him slowly, and I follow his lead.

Suddenly, Heather enters the room,

"Surprise! I finished earlier so I came to check on y- um what are you doing?"

We were so close that she noticed something was off even though i pushed away the second that door opened, this time he interferes and say

"She was just helping me with the ice, like always, she always helps me"

he looked at me again.

"Ok, nevermind, I got cookies!"

"Thank god you came, he says and takes a cookie" i should have brought something, how stupid of me, but I got him his favourite chocolate yesterday, urgh, I should just leave.

"Okayy, so I'm gonna take a cookie and leave, it was nice to see you feeling better jerk, bye"

"Bye, tigress, thanks for coming everyday and taking care of me... both of you."

When I arrived home, i layed on my bed, and started kicking with my arms and legs on the bed rethinking what might have happened.

"Omg, was he about to kiss me?! If Heather didn't interrupt, what would have happened?  Would we like be a thing?"

I blushed, just thinking about it. I should just leave it, if he really likes me he will make a move again, soon I hope.
