I know that isn't the original song but I love this version so much!
Chapter 16 | Uncharted Territory
"I never knew you could sing or play like that, Bella you're amazing you have to do something with your talent."
We were sitting on the piano chair, Tyler still had his arm around me even though I had stopped crying a little while ago. My head rested gently on his shoulder and he rubbed circles on the back of my hand with his palm.
It was calming in case you were wondering.
I shrugged "maybe, but thanks for the hype." "Do you play any other instruments?" He asked "Yea guitar" "which kind?" "Acoustic. How about you?" "Guitar. Acoustic and electric."
"Wow, The Tyler McAdams is a musician, huh, who woulda thought. Wait how did you know I was in here?"
"I was gonna come talk to you but I couldn't find you. I was on my way back to the cafeteria when I heard you playing and then..."
He trailed off but I knew what he was gonna say "oh okay what were you gonna talk to me about?"
"I was gonna apologize. I know I act like an asshole sometimes but it's like I can't control it, I don't know why it's just I-"
"I get it Tyler, no need to explain" "You do? How? I haven't even said anything." I smiled "lemme guess before I came it was you, Dylan and Ethan. Girls threw themselves at you guys, parties every weekend, you had a routine. Then all of a sudden, this girl comes and quite literally crashes into your world. You expect her to be like the other desperate girls so you don't bother caring, but she's not. She calls your BS, she isn't afraid to fight back and she's not what you're used to. It's uncharted territory. Then, to make things better, your friends invite her to hang which of course means her friends are automatically invited and you don't like it. You're used to things done a certain way. Now there's a random girl who you need to get used to. You tend to be closed off and now you need to try to open up yourself to her and her friends. It's easier with her friends 'cause they don't talk back like her and they are easy-going. But you try, you try hard but you can't because you don't know if you'll be rejected or accepted. So you keep your true feelings bottled up and instead of showing your true self you fight, always pick at little things just to remind yourself that you haven't revealed anything. Then you have a vulnerable moment and to cover it up you act like a self-absorbed jerk-face. Believe me Tyler, I get it. We're not as different as you think."
I look over when I hear a faint chuckle and he stands up and shakes his head "I don't get you." He says staring intently at me "what do you mean?" "You're unpredictable, I never know what you're gonna say, what you're gonna do...nothing. Most times, I can tell what a person will do but never with you. You're stubborn, headstrong, tenacious, spunky, sassy and your attitude is over the roof but you're not a bitch either...well unless someone crosses you...you're also kind, caring and so many other things. I admire that about you. I like how you're not easy and you call me out when I do stupid stuff, you set me straight and granted it's annoying as fuck, it doesn't change the fact that I like it. I meant what I said, you're not like most girls."
I stood up as well and walked to the wall
"Well that's great 'cause I don't wanna be like most girls."
I looked up and my breath hitched. I was met with a pair of beautiful blue eyes. I looked down and felt his one arm slowly wrap around my waist while the other lifted my chin to face him.
"Thank you for crashing into me that day." He put his hand at the side of my face.
"Technically you crashed into me but sure, you're welcome," I replied and bit my lip, it was a tick I did whenever I got nervous.
"Fuck Bella what are you doing to me?" He muttered
What am I doing to you?
What am I doing to you?!
The real question you should be asking is WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!
You're here being all hot and HOT and you're asking me what I, Bella Evans am doing to you, Tyler McAdams...you need help if you think I'm doing anything to you.
He began to lean in closer and alarm bells were going off in my head telling me this was wrong...unfortunately, I couldn't remember why.
Just pull back
No, Bella, I said pullback not lean forward what the hell are you doing?!
Hey! Stop moving your hand up his arm!
Oi! Bella!
Seriously?
Gah! Fine kiss him!
See if I care!
His hot breath fanned my face, our noses touching, my hand slowly slid up his arm as he leaned in...
Bella! Stop! Omg!
My hand slid up his for the second time where I caught a glimpse of his tattoo.
Sophia.
That was the tattoo, just the simple name of a girl. My hand reached out to touch it and he jerked away.
I retracted my hand. "Sorry," I said and looked down.
Way to ruin a moment Bella. I mentally scolded myself.
"It's okay." He smiled.
"Hey Izzy, Daniel's here to see you...should I tell him you're...preoccupied?"
He must've sensed the tension.
I was gonna ask who Daniel is but luckily I remembered. "N-no I'm going." I rushed out of the music room...at least now I remembered why it was wrong to kiss him...but damn is he hot.
"Hey!" Daniel said when he saw me walk in. He pried Bianca off of him "thank God you're here I swear that girl is like a leech."
She glared at me.
"Yea, unfortunately, she's desperate like that. What're you doing here?"
"Well, I figured since you were in detention you might want a little boost so I brought you a mocha frappe."
I smiled "Thanks, babe! You're so sweet!"
"When is detention over? I have some free time maybe we can hang at my place? Watch a movie have some popcorn...y'know Netflix and chill."
"I-"
"She can't, we have to work on an assignment after detention," Tyler spoke up and I looked at him in confusion.
Daniel looked at me as if asking if it were true and I nodded "yea we do, sorry I forgot raincheck?"
"Of course, I'm gonna text you later!" He walked away pausing briefly to whisper something in Tyler's ear. They both exchanged subtle glares before he left.
Okay, something's up, I'm gonna find out what.
I walked up to Ali and Tess and simply mumbled "you're right about Tyler and me," before I walked away to go talk to the man himself.
Obviously, they squealed.
-
"Grr, you're so freaking annoying!"
"You aggravate me."
"All you do is talk, can't you ever shut the hell up?!"
"You're such an asshole I mean come on!"
"Me? The asshole? Have you met yourself?"
"Seriously were you born this way or did you practice to be this annoying?"
In case you couldn't tell, Tyler and I were at it again.
Neverending story.
...
Turn around
Look at what you see
In her face
The mirror of your dreams
Make-believe I'm everywhere
Given in the light
Written on the pages
Is the answer to a never-ending story
Ah
...
Okay sorry, I'm done.
Anyway, after Daniel left, I confronted Tyler about his obvious lie. We had already finished the assignment but he insisted we needed more practice on the oral part before walking away.
Another lie.
Tyler and I had practiced that part too many times but I chose to let it go.
Naturally, he had to PMS yet again which made me upset and here we were sitting in Dylan's car fighting for the millionth time.
"How is it that both of you almost kiss one moment then fight like you've been enemies all your lives the next?" Dylan inquired form the driver's seat
"I don't even know," Ethan said rubbing his temple, he sat in the passenger seat. "You guys' relationship is-"
"Special" Tyler and I said at the same time.
Tyler looked outside, he had a small smile on his face and so did I. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw his glance at me, a smile still present on his face before turning back around to look out the window.
No one but us knew the truth behind our relationship. The more we fight the more we care.
Funny right?
I just wished I'd stopped myself from caring. Maybe then what was to come would've been easier to deal with.
Here it is!
Shorter chapter I know but there's a long chapter coming up soon so be ready for that!!
