and you smacked him. There is something your not telling me alana. i can see it on your face." he said angrily. I sighed then staggered into the bathroom. "you okay?" ty ask. I looked in the mirror to see if my face was red. I had a hand print on the side of my face. I shook my head then sighed. I was so angry that he had smacked me. It didnt hurt but it was just sickening that he would even think about doing something like that. "lana are you okay?" ty ask again. "yea um come here please." i slurred. I wanted to tell ty but i wasnt sure how to without completely breaking down. "yea whats wron---" i stopped when he say the print on my face. His face started to turn red along with his ears. "ty listen to me. do not do anything drastic okay. let me explain first." i said trying to calm him. "HELL NO! THERE IS NO EXPLAINING THAT! PLEASE TELL ME YOU GOT INTO A FIGHT WITH A FEMALE PLEASE TELL ME THAT ALANA. DONT TELL ME WHAT IM THINKING!" He yelled. I sighed looking in the mirror again. He shook his head and grabbed his car keys. "bae you really need to chill! its not even that serious. can we just go to bed please." i said walking over to him. "no we can not just go to bed. Im going to break his fucking neck." I started to hug ty leaning back and forth. "i really just need you tonight okay. please." i said quietly. He sighed. "okay but im finding him tomorrow. come on lets just lay down and go to sleep." he said grouchily. I half smiled then changed into a t-shirt and some pajama pants i had brought over. I crawled in bed beside him snuggling up to his chest. He put one arm around me and used the other to scroll through channels on tv. We layed there in silence for a long time but i just couldnt fall asleep for once i really didnt know what to think of all the events that had taken place. I had been called a pyscho bitch and basic and so many other things in only a matter of minutes and i didnt know whether to laugh or be angry but the last thing i wanted to do was cry. My feelings werent hurt at all. Ty kept shifting to get comfortable. Every time he would move id have to move. I finally got irriated and rolled over. I let out a loud exagerated sigh. "what?" he ask quietly. "nothing. im going to sleep." i mumbled. He kissed behind my ear then got out of bed. I rolled my eyes then rolled back over to look at the tv. For the first time in a long time a feeling washed over me that i wasnt familar with. I wanted to go home. I didnt want to be there alone in his bed without him or with him. I just wanted to be at home in my safe bed. I sat up on the side of the bed looking around wondering what made me think that way. I searched my mind for an answer but the only one i could dig up was i just wanted to feel secure. Home was the only place stupid stuff didnt happen to me. I grabbed my bag putting the things i had brought over in the bag and then started to leave. I got into the hall and realized ty wasnt in the house. I shook my head then walked to my car. I saw a flash light out in the yard and could tell it was ty. i quickly got in and backed out of the drive way to leave. I only got down the street before he called. "hey why did you leave is everything okay?" he ask worried. "yea. i just need to go home ty." i said unsure of what exactly my reason for leaving was. "okay. your not mad at me or anything are you?" he ask worried. "no. you didnt do anything." i said being short. "okay. well i love you. will you call me tomorrow so we can get together?" he said sweetly. I rolled my eyes annoyed with the thought of going back to his house. "yea bae. ill give you a call." i lied. "okay i guess. well i love you. be careful." he said. "love you too. and always." i said before hanging up. When i pulled into the driveway the garage door opened. My mom had finally gotten it fixed. I pulled in and left all my stuff in the car except my phone and the charger. I went into the house to find my mom laying on the couch. "hey." i said when walking into the livingroom. "oh wow im surprised you come home. i thought you moved out for a minute there." she joked. "mom i was home for two days." i said smling. "yea thats a visit. you spend most of your time over at ty's." she said sitting up. "i just dont think ill be spending as much time over there anymore. I kinda miss home you know?" i mumbled. "yea i can only imagine. Its a whole different ball game when you move in with someone." she said seriously. "yea i see. i mean i love ty to death but some times i really just need my space you know?" i said. "yea i know. your an only child, you have always had your own space." she mumbled. I sighed. "well im going to go lay down. im honestly exhausted and i just want to crawl in bed." i said looking up the stairs. "okay goodnight. and im glad your home." she said smiling. I returned the smile and went up the stairs. When i opened my bedroom door it smelled like tropical breeze. I smiled thinking about how i use to only wear tropical perfumes. I plugged my phone into the charger then plopped down on the bed. I fell asleep instantly. I slept so well with no dreams and no interruptions. I woke up at 11:00 the next day. I moaped around the house most of the day watching funny movies and eating snacks. Around six ty started texting my phone.

Bae

I sighed at his last text wishing he'd just give me a break. I layed back down on the couch watching tv. After a few minutes i forgot he had even text. I was in the middle of a movie when he walked in the room. "no wonder your not answering your phone. you have a mountain of soda cans and snack cake papers around you." he joked. I didnt smile or laugh. I cut my eyes to see him. "whats wrong?" he ask. "nothing im just not in a friendly mood today and wanted to stay home. You really didnt have to come over here." i said quietly. he nodded his head in understanding. "okay so i see your pissed about something so why dont you just spit it out." he said angry. "ty im not mad about anything. i just want some me time. im tired and i just wanted to sit at home alone." i said annoyed. He shrugged. "okay lana. ill go. text me when you feel like having a boyfriend again. Ill be at mikes." he said turning around to walk away. I sighed and sunk into the couch. For the next week i was a couch potato. I would only get up to shower, use the bathroom and get food. My mom finally come in the livingroom and said"whats's wrong?" i sat up a little so i could see her. "nothing." i said half smiling. "oh thats a lie. i havent seen you do this ever. whats going on? are you okay? are you depressed are you pregnaunt talk to me whats going on alana?" she stressed. I rolled my eyes. "mom im not pregnant and im not depressed. i spent the last two years on the run. between school work and going out i am just exhausted." i said pausing the movie. She sighed "okay alana. im just making sure your okay. ty has stopped by at least twenty time and each time you just brush him off. Im really worried about you." she said. "mom for real. you and ty need to pull yourselfs together. just because i decide to babysit the couch for a few days doesnt mean im like mentally ill or something i just dont feel like getting out going all over the place to do nothing you know?" i said getting angry. "okay. im just checking alana." she said quietly. I gave her a thumbs up then rolled over to go back to sleep. I woke up the next day to jas and storm. I rolled over to see them staring at me with worried looks on their faces. I cut my eyes at them. "and sleeping beauty rises." storm joked. "what are yall doing here?" i ask. "we came to see you. ty said you were chilling at home and your birthday is tomorrow so we figured you might want to get out and go shopping." storm said nicely. "get out." i mumbled. jas and storms eyes grew wide. "What? why?" jas ask. "because im not falling for yalls bullshit no more than i fell for my moms yesterday. get out. Im going back to sleep. its summer i dont feel like getting out and doing anything today." i mumbled closing my eyes shut. They both sighed then jas said "i dont care what it is you dont want to do tomorrow you getting off this fucking couch and celebrating your eighteenth birthday. even if we have to drag you okay?" she joked. I rolled my eyes then pretended to laugh. "okay." i said nicely. When they left i got up to shower. Immediately after i showered i went back to the couch. I layed there until i fell asleep again.
Chapter 18 ---18th birthday----
I didnt wake up again until the next day. I looked at my phone to see i had over one hundred notifications on all my social media pages. I rolled my eyes then cut the tv on. I just didnt feel like doing anything. I wasnt mad or sad i just didnt want to go do anything. My mom come dancing into the livingroom then stopped. "your dad is on his way!" she said happily. i grimaced at her. "and why are you happy about that?" i ask. "well because its your birthday and thats the one thing that may make you get off this couch." she said with hope. "mom if i wanted to go see dad i would. you know that.
