a little to see if tyler was still asleep. He was still in bed so i quietly began to walk across the room to my bathroom. I got in front of the dresser and he turned over and said "good morning." i jumped startled by his voice. "oh shit. my bad!" he said turning back over immediately. I ran into the bathroom closing the door quickly. He began to laugh. i leaned my head on the door. "stop laughing i thought you were sleep." i squealed. He contintued to laugh getting louder. I sighed and couldnt help but smile. I rolled my eyes then went into my closet to find some clothes. I picked out a green strapless shirt and a blue jean skirt. i searched for some flip flops but decided on green converse instead. I pulled my hair back into a bun and opened the bathroom door. Tyler was sitting on the edge of the bed on the phone. I walked past him to go back into my dads room to get my phone but tyler grabbed my hand before i could step out of the door. He motioned for me to wait. I sighed then walked back into the room and sat on the bed. He hurried off the phone then began to laugh again. " ive never seen anybody run that fast in a towl." I smiled shyly turning my head in embarrasement. "shut up." i joked. He smiled looking at me. His gaze felt like he could see right through me. "your really a jerk you know." i said standing up. "not really or atleast deep down i try not to be. so are you taking me home today or have i become your personal driver?" I shrugged grinning deviously. "i havent quite decided. I would like to go to the mall while im down here. Nothing soothes a hurting heart like some new clothes." He shook his head. "most people would say chocolate you say clothes. Youre something else." he laughed. I rolled my eyes. He had a point though but i didnt care i just wanted to preoccupy my mind with something fun. I could have easily took him home and came back but i didnt want to do that. A part of me just wanted to be around someone new. Someone who didnt know every little thing about me. Then a part of me just wasnt ready to face my problems at home. "I know. so are you going or not?" he shook his head. "yes ill go but only cause i could use a new pair of shoes for school. I cant believe you suckered me into driving you to atlanta and now you wont take me home. If your kidnapping me i like it." He joked. I smiled not understanding how i never noticed how silly he was. "you know i always thought you were a asshole. Any time ive been around you I just didnt get a good vibe from you." He shrugged. "honestly I usually am. I dont let people get close to me because they always do something to hurt me. Its been that way since i was little. But i dont know, Its something about you that just makes me talk. I really dont like it." i half smiled. "well then dont talk." i said shrugging. "its not that simple, it just flows out. maybe you should stop talking to me." He said laughing. "ok im putting you on silent treatment since you want me to stop talking to you. but we're still going to the mall just silently." he turned to walk away. "no because when your not talking your crying." I smiled as i walked behind him to the front door. As we got into the car i realized i may be sending him mixed signals so i decided to claify that i wasnt trying to flirt with him or anything of that nature. "um so you know that im not like flirting with you right. Only reason i havent taken you home yet is cause i really dont want to drive all the way back down here to go to the mall." He laughed. "I never said you were. what makes you think i was flirting with you. I dont like short people." My mouth flew open in shock. "Im not that short!" he began to laugh harder. "Your new nickname is shortie. yep shortie i like it." I shook my head trying to process what just happened. I said i wasnt flirting with him and that earned me a new nickname. Shortie out of all things in the world shortie. "im really not that short." i said driving down the driveway. "oh but you are. Dont be ashamed. I can assoicate with short people. I just dont date them." i gasp. "oh get out of here with that bullshit! you dated keely and that bitch is short!" He burst out into histerical laughter." i cant deal with you. Your too much shortie." he said as he calmed from laughing so hard. i bit my lip looking for what to say as we drove to the mall. "i really dont like you. who calls someone shortie. your just rude." i said joking. He shrugged. "i dont like you either because your short." I sighed. "your really a douche bag ty." he smiled big. "i know. I try. by the way what happen to the silent treatment?" I pulled into the mall parking lot. I didnt reply to him holding to my silence. I pulled into a parking spot at the bottom of the parking lot. "it doesnt count now that i reminded you of it. so you might as well talk." i smiled smugly. I got out and started walking through the mall when ty picked me up throwing me over his shoulder. I began to laugh while hitting his back. he started to run making me bouce up and down. "okay!" i yelled as we went through the mall doors. He put me down smiling wide. "i really dont like you now." i said. He was about to say something when i interrupted. "and dont you dare make a short joke!" i said pointing my finger at him. He laughed shaking his head. "come on shortie lets heal your brokenn heart." he offered me his arm to lap my around it. I shrugged thinking whats the harm in walking arm and arm. "Im pretty sure your my new best friend." i mumbled as we walked into nike outlet. "Ill take it. If it means i get to walk around the mall with a cute shortie all the time, hell yea ill take it." he joked. I rolled my eyes while shaking my head. "your dumb. just shut up." he began to laugh. He bought a pair of black jordans. I didnt get anything out of the nike outlet. It was summer and i mostly wore flip flops. "I cant believe you picked me up and threw me over your shoulder and im wearing a skirt. you really are a douche bag." I said thinking about the parking lot. "I assume your wearing underwear so whats the big deal?" he joked. I shook my head in astonishment. "really? you assume. whats the big deal?" i paused. Then conclued dramatically " I dont want people seeing my ass! Duh you want me to show people your ass?" he began to walk away from me because i was making a scene. I followed yelling "hey yall want to see his ass? He likes to show ass." He stopped suddenly making me run into him. "i cant deal with you shortie. your fucking crazy." We both laughed. "you should have just left me silent." i said with attitude. He laughed. "you right you right." We passed the city gear and my heart stung for a moment because it reminded my of de'shawn. We had come to this mall so many times with his aunt. Every time we would eat at the cookie shop and go to city gear because he loved to get his short and pants from there. I just couldnt wrap my head around how two people could be in love one day and the next they were nothing to each other. I missed him already and we hadnt been broken up a full twenty four hours. I wanted to cry but knew ty was trying really hard to keep me happy. I just didnt want to think of de'shawn anymore i really wanted to forget forever. I never thought there would be a day i didnt want to think about him. I planned on marrying him now i planned on never getting married. "stop." Ty said snapping me back into reality. i looked at him wondering what he was talking about. "stop what?" i ask. "stop thinking about him. i see it all over your face. your smile fades and your eyebrows arch. not to add that really sad look in your eyes. its like your not even here your in another place in your head." i sighed. "ty i cant stop thinking about him. he will always be there. In my thoughts. We have so many memories together and they wont fade away because he hurt me." he sighed. he grabbed my arm and led me to the food court to sit down. "listen to me. This is the best advice ill probably ever give you shortie. Your sixteen you have plenty more memories to make. stop dwelling on the ones you already made and make new ones. I dont really care how you make them or when you make them but make them. If you want to go back to de'shawn go. Dont kill yourself and whats left of your heart hurting over a mistake he made. my personal opinion he hasnt loved you in the last year. Being a person on the outside of the situation you could see the difference between yall." I stepped away from him. My mind was blown. He just stood there and told me the person my heart still yearned for hadnt loved me in a year. I wanted to be angry at him but i couldnt because deep down i knew it was all true. i put my head down to avoid the feeling of tears running down my face. I began to sob i couldnt help but cry. It was all too much. I just wanted to run away from it all. Ty put his arms around me letting me cry on his chest. He rubbed my head in comfort. We sat there for a long time. He just let me cry and i let it all out. I finally collected myself and sat up looking around. "you good shortie?" he ask. i half smiled. "not really but i got to make more new memories." i said quietly. "more?" he ask confused. "yea i made one just then crying on your chest. not many people would just sit there for no reason and let me cry on them. Thank you." He hugged me letting me put my head on his chest again. "your welcome shortie." My phone began to go off.
