Off Guard
That caught me off guard for sure. “No, neverâ? kept running through my head.Even as Nathan dragged me (figuratively speaking) down the hallway.
Maybe he doesn’t want me… I thought. But, I love him and I thought he loved me…
Nathan’s voice broke me from my thoughts as he said, “Where do you want to go?â?
“Back in time so I could punch you in the face before you got a chance to kiss me,â? I said flatly, staring forward, away from him.
“How about home? I have a few things to get done today and I don’t think you’d like to come.â?
“You got that right,â? I said.
So he drove me home and I went straight up to my room. I have to do something.I have to find a way to explain.
I walk downstairs looking for an inspiration. I walk into the kitchen and talk to my mom.
When I’m down spilling everything out she says, “That just doesn’t sound like Tyler.â? She shakes her head and says, “Here have some milk and cookies, they will make you feel better.â?
That’s when it hit me, I knew what to do.
