He is Back

Chapter 12 - He is Back

Tyler's POV

The sunlight stabbed through my closed eyelids, pulling me out of sleep. I groaned, rolling onto my side, trying to escape the brightness, but it was useless. The heat of the sun made my blankets feel too warm, and my body felt heavy, like I had barely rested.

With a sigh, I reached blindly for my phone on the nightstand, squinting at the bright screen as I checked the time.

10:23 AM.

Shit.

Panic shot through me, and I sat up quickly. I was supposed to be at school. I threw off the blanket, about to jump out of bed when it hit me.

I wasn't going.

Not today. Not for a while.

After everything that had happened—the fight, the breakup, Logan kissing me, and then Alexis proving she had the loyalty of a goldfish—I wasn't about to step foot in that school until I was ready. Until I could walk down those halls without feeling like the entire world had seen me crumble.
