The Story of Something Unexpected

Chapter 1- The beginning of something strange

Jenna's P.O.V

"What do you think?"

"It tastes weird"  Tyler replies in a hesitant voice.

"Oh"

"I made it the exact same way I use to" I add.

Tyler usually loves my homemade pumpkin pie. I even worked extra hard on it this time, because I've been noticing Tyler looking a bit tired.

"Maybe we shouldn't be eating pie so late now anyways" I explain.

I look over at Tyler waiting for some kind of response but Tyler doesn't seem to have heard what I just said.

*A few moments of silence later*

*Tyler suddenly drops his fork on the floor*

"Hey are you okay Tyler, you look really tired?"

"Sorry,"  Tyler mumbles while picking up his fork, still not responding whether or not he's okay.

"Maybe you should go lie down for a bit, while I make dinner" I suggest trying not to sound commanding.

*Tyler nods in response*

*Time skip*

"Tyler dinner is ready!"

*No response*

"Tyler?!"  I yell again.

*Still nothing but the sound of the birds outside*

What is up with him? He is acting kinda strange...

Tyler's P.O.V

I can feel Jenna is standing next to the bed, she's probably wondering if I'm asleep. I heard her call but I couldn't really make a sense of it, it was all just a bunch of words without any meaning.

"Tyler?" - I can hear the worry in her voice.

Why does she have to say my name like that? Why does my name suddenly feel weird to hear?

I turn around and look up at her.

"Yeah?" I say in a voice that I don't recognize.

"Didn't you hear me call for you?" She says a bit annoyed.

"Yeah sorry, I heard you"

"Are you coming? Dinner is ready"

"I'm not hungry"- That's not true at all.

I instantly regret lying to her but it's too late now.

I look at her wondering if she knows I'm lying.

*Jenna walks out in the kitchen and starts eating*

I turn towards the wall again.

I feel a tear running down my cheek, then I close my eyes.

Why am I crying? Is Jenna mad at me?

Suddenly it strikes me. I haven't talked to Josh in a really long time... I hope he's doing well.

*Time skip*

Jenna's P.O.V

Tyler has laid in bed since dinner, maybe I should check up on him? I don't know if he'd like that, he hates when I act too worried. He says it makes him feel like a child.

It's still early but I should go to sleep anyway, after all, Josh is coming tomorrow.

*Jenna walks into the bedroom and finds Tyler asleep on the bed, with dry tears on his cheek*

I kiss his head and lay down beside him. I look at him for a little while before falling asleep.

*Time skip*

Tyler's P.O.V

Everything is blurry, I don't know if my eyes are open or not.

I try to rub my eyes but everything is still blurry, I rub them again this time harder. It almost hurts my eyes. Then little by little everything gets a bit clearer and I can tell that it's morning. I wonder how long I've slept.

*9 am the clock shows*

This isn't good. I've been asleep for almost 14 hours. I hope it won't become a habit again.

Well since I've been asleep so long I should probably make breakfast for Jenna. I should get up and make some.

*Time Skip*

I'm so horribly tired, I can't believe it took me fucking 45 minutes to get out of bed. I'm such a shitty husband, now I'll have to rush making breakfast.

*Tyler opens the fridge and looks inside*

*sighs*- Is this really all we have?

I should go buy some food, then I can make waffles.

*Time Skip*

Jenna's P.O.V

Where is Tyler? Why isn't he in bed? It's 10:30 am. Maybe he just couldn't sleep anymore, he did go to bed early so that's understandable. I should also get out of bed, after all, Josh is coming around in a few hours.

"Tyler?"- I say to an empty house

*No response*

*Jenna walks out to the kitchen door*

"Tyler?"- I wonder where he is.

"Boo!" -*Tyler says as he jumps in front of Jenna*

*Jenna jumps back surprised by Tyler's attempt to scare her*

"Oh gosh, Tyler! You scared me!" I yell.

"Ha! I got you!"- *Tyler says while hugging Jenna tightly*

"Yeah you really did, my heart is pounding!"- I say not being able to stop smiling.

*Jenna and Tyler hug for a long time*

"I made you breakfast"

"It's waffles, your favorite"- Tyler adds
