Chapter 23: The Unspoken Words

Tyler drove Bianca home without a single word spoken between either one of them, as they both just sat in silence thinking to themselves and trying to figure out what they wanted to say to one another. “Shoot what is there to say?” Bianca said as she stared out the window at the road as Tyler drove. Tyler just kept sighing and Bianca hated the sound so when she finally looked over at him, he just smiled. “Ty what the hell do you keep sighing for, seriously because I don’t know how much more of this I can take before I jump out of this truck and walk the rest of the way home” she bit out. “I—I, just want to know that you are okay, and my dad is right why don’t you just come live with us?” he asked with a little hint of a smile playing on his lips. “Ugh Ty you want to know why, well I will freaking tell you then because you’ll probably find out sooner or later, so I guess sooner is better..” she said as she tried to find the words to explain to him that his father fucked her the night before and even after he knew who it was and the fact that his son was in love with the girl.
Bianca really tried hard to find the words, but in the end the only words there were, was the truth. “Ty just, pull over right here or you know what get me all the way home before I give you any of this news that I know you’ll go ape shit over when you find out. I’d rather be home when you do go ape shit so I can go inside lock my doors and hide from you…ha-hah” she laughed as he grabbed the stirring wheel with even more force than was necessary. Tyler just looked at the road in front of him for the remainder of the way until he pulled up to the driveway and in front of Bianca’s house. He turned off the truck and slowly un-gripped the wheel and opened the door and got out closed the door and went to the back of the truck. She thought he was going to come open her door for her but when he unlatched the tail gate and sat on the end of it, she knew then that it was going to be harder than she thought.
Bianca opened her door and slowly got out with all her things and sat them on her porch. She slowly walked back to the truck and instead of sitting next to him leaned up against the oak tree that was 3ft or so away from the truck. “So are you going to just stand over there and not say anything to me or are you going to tell me whatever it is you couldn’t tell me while I was driving” Tyler practically yelled out. “Gosh Ty look this is hard for me and considering it has to do with your father I’m not sure if I should even tell you” she, whispered. “What do you mean it has to do with my pops for, fuck sake B you’ve got me sweating bullets over here and my mind going into all sorts of directions” Tyler said as he clamped his fingers together. “Tyler, look you know that these men come to me every night for the last two nights, and of course since it’s Thursday and all, and only 2 more day to go until my birthday geez. Okay Ty here it goes your dad is one of the men that saw me last night and of course I didn’t even know do, to the fact that he was dressed up in a costume and only he could see who I was” she stopped as Tyler jumped from the back of the truck.
Tyler looked at her like a predator looks at their evening snack “Tyler just let me finish what I need to say and after that you can say or do whatever” she said stopping to clear everything else but what she needed to say to him. “So anyways he was with me last night like I said and today when he had tackled me to the ground, I knew who he was by the way he smiled. So that is the reason I had got up and walked to the window” she said as Tyler stood only inches from her face. “So, while I figured out who he was I had asked him to help me hide my money, teach me to live on my own, to teach me how to use a gun and to teach me basically everything I need to know to live on my own in hiding if need be..” she finally finished as she closed her eyes letting her body relax against the tree. She didn’t want to open them afraid of what she might see on Tyler’s face when she did. Tyler didn’t move or even say a word and she could feel him just inches in front of her. Even though she was scared shitless to open even one eye, she was surprised when she did open one eye to find Tyler standing there with tears in his eyes.
All Bianca wanted to do was turn back time so that she would have never been put into that situation with her best friend. “Ty everything is okay your dad didn’t put any of these marks on me I promise, I know how you must be feeling knowing that your parents are married, and you have a happy home” she said as Tyler wiped his eyes. “B just shut your mouth you don’t know shit my parents hate each other. They put on a show for everyone, but the truth is they share different sections of the house their bedrooms are on opposite sides, and they haven’t been happy for years. The fact that my father knows my feelings for you yet when he found out it was you, he didn’t leave. Damn it what am I supposed to do now? My father has had his dick in you and ugh you’ve just ahhhh” Tyler said as he punched the oak tree right next to Bianca’s face. “TYLER stop this right now, you know what this is not my choice to be with these men, and we are just friends, and you know that, yet you try to get more from me. Yes, we fuck but that’s all it is and maybe we should stop all that too since I got into trouble for you sleeping in my bed last night even though there was no fucking involved” she stated matter fact.
They both just stared at one another like two stupid people looking for some kind of answer from one another letting each other know what they were supposed to do next. “Ty maybe you should just go home and don’t come back until Saturday since there is no way of getting out of this whole party thing” Bianca said as she side stepped to the right of him to go inside. He didn’t follow her right away but when she was approached the bottom of her porch stairs, he ran up behind her turned her around and hugged her with all his might. “B you are my best friend, the love of my life, my soul mate and whether you feel anything like that for me I will never let you go never leave your side” he said as he fisted her hair in his hands. “Tyler what you don’t seem to realize is that I’m not going to be sticking around here much longer if I can help it” she said as she stroked Tyler’s back. “To be honest I’m not sure how much longer I can take even living here and knowing that I have tonight and tomorrow night to get through and having to sleep with all these people every night. It makes me sick to think that my life might just end up like my mother’s and maybe I need to just face the fact now” she said as she kissed him on the cheek.
As he made a step to follow her, she groaned “Do not follow me in Ty I need to get the house chores done, get homework done, and take a nice long bath before I have visitors tonight again” she said as she put her hands on Tyler’s chest taking in his amazing smell. “B are you shitting me right now, you’re making me leave you here knowing god knows what could be waiting for you on the other side of that fucking door with that ass-hole Marco” he said as he fisted his hands to his side and scowled at Bianca. “Yes Ty just go home, or go to the gym and talk things out with your father get everything out that you need to say to him and it might help you both to realize that I’m not a possession for anyone to have and to hold and keep locked away for whenever they feel like playing with her” Bianca said as she grabbed her bag off the porch and went inside without even waiting for Tyler to get into this truck and leave.
Bianca went inside and closed the door behind her, she didn’t stop to look out to make sure Tyler was gone, but in fact went to her room to put her things away. She only had literature homework tonight and it was almost done, so she went to the kitchen and started getting things ready for cleaning. She mopped the floors in the kitchen and small dining area then moved to the main dining area of the house and vacuumed. She then moved to the living room areas which included a small little living room and a larger one at the front of the house. She moved on to clean the 2nd master bed and bath, and then next she moved into her mother’s master suite to clean the bathroom and bedroom. “No one is home yet and this might actually be the time to search a little for those letters I’m sure my mother has from the schools I’ve applied to” she muttered to herself.
