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.
