Tyler's P.O.V
"We're having spaghetti for dinner tonight, your favorite" Greyson says as I get in his car, "Second favorite" I correct him with a smile. "Ah yes, second favorite, Mac n' Cheese is your all time favorite" he says as we pull off.
It's Wednesday night, I went through my first week of school without any break downs (probably because it wasn't a full week lets be honest), I still hate Mr. Green, every day I go in and he tries to have a full blown conversation with me.
I apologized to Dallas about blowing up at him, and did much better with my eating the next day. Greyson also made me share my Dexcom will him again so he can monitor me, I don't mind it I just hope he doesn't get onto me every time it gets a little below normal.
Mark's Moters the car place that has been working on my car called me today after school and told me I'll be able to pick up my car tomorrow at 11. I'm so excited I miss my car i'll be able to take myself to school now, which not that riding with Addison was a bad thing I just like being by myself than being around others.
"I know I ask you this everyday but, any friends?" ugh I hate this stop light. Everyday when Greyson picks me up from work and we get caught at this stop light he asks the same question.
"Greyson" I sigh, "You know the answer, I don't want to make friends".
"But I don't see why" he pushes the issue, "Friends want to hug, and touch, and talk, and go out, and do social things, all things I hate remember".
"Fine, what about the next question. Anyone caught your eye" "No, I don't understand relationships why would you want someone who again touches you, holds you, wants to talk all the time, take you places, KISS YOU, no, ew" I have always seen people in relationships and wonder why they are like gross no.
"Well first of all, even if you get in a relationship there will be no kissing understand, kissing leads to sex, and sex leads to babies" be says looking over at me.
"Greyson that's DISCUSTING, I don't wanna talk about sex with you, ew" why would he bring that up.
"Well good, then don't be having it. And second don't you want to love someone and have someone love you back".
I don't get love, like what is it how can one feel that.
We pull up to the house and I immediately get out of the car before he starts talking about sex again. Who wants to talk about that with their brother or anyone for that matter.
Dinner is going by with no issues, I'm almost done with my plate and I hear whispering.
"Tyler do you know?" Brooklyn asks when I look up, "K-know what" what are they knowing everyone's being weird.
"So over the breaks it gets really crazy here, everyone's friends are over like everyday and some stay the night" Addison says after no one says anything.
That's gonna be a lot of people, I mean anymore than what's here now is too many.
"So it's gonna be really chaotic tomorrow, are you gonna be okay" Brooklyn says sounding concerned.
"Um I should be" I get why they're worried, I might get overstimulated and snap, say rude things at people or have a panic attack out of the chaos in the house.
But I've kinda planned it out, I can bleach my hair tomorrow, then dye it Friday. That'll keep me in the bathroom for two days away from everyone, and I could stay in the room hopefully everyone will be around the house.
I finish my plate and go to the kitchen, "Are you sure you'll be okay?" Daniel says as I'm putting it in the sink.
"Yeah I think so" I say and check my number, 467, I go to the medical drawer and get out a alcohol wipe and a needle and my insulin then remember.
"Hey Daniel?" "Yeah Tyler?" he turns his head to me. "You go to work at 11:30 right?" "Yeah, what'cha need" he says washing his and my plate.
"Um well, I was wondering if you could take me to Mark's Moters, my car will be ready to be picked up" I say hoping he'll say yes. "Oh yeah definitely, I leave at 11 just be ready by then" he says and smiles. I nod and take my insulin and go up to my room.
I feed Chewy and decide to go to the music room, I go through the bathroom, flip on the light in the music room and take it in.
The grand piano is beautiful. I go over to it and press a key, the notes perfect.
I prop open the lid and sit down, I haven't played the piano in a year or two but let's hope it's like riding a bike.
I start with a simple scale, once I'm done I hear a scratching noise I go over to the door and open it and see Coopers big eyes looking at me.
"Come on" I say and wave him in.
I go back over to the piano and start Für Elise by Beethoven and Cooper sits down next to me.
Vivian's P.O.V
Tyler dissapeared upstairs and Cooper of course followed her.
We move from the dining room the the living room and watch TV, suddenly I hear the piano.
"Is that the piano?" Oscar looks over at me, "Can Tyler play the Piano?" I ask Greyson. "Ooooh yeah, she's had extensive piano training she just prefers guitar over it" he shruggs like it's no big deal. HA NO BIG DEAL!
"What's she playing?" Brooklyn asks and everyone looks at me, and Greyson responds before I can "Für Elise".
I'm not sure how it happened but suddenly we're all running upstairs. The music room door is open and there sits Tyler at the piano and Cooper is sitting next to her staring up at her.
She's amazing, she finishes the song and I can't help myself I clap like a proud mom.
Her head snaps over to us at the door, "You didn't tell me you knew how to play" I say going up and sitting by her on the stool. "A foster mom we had played professionally and made me learn".
"But Für Elise! That's amazing" I say so giddy. "It was the first song I learned" she shruggs just like Greyson acting like it's no big deal!
"THATS A GRADE FIVE" I exclaim, "Gosh the first song I learned was jingle bells".

Tyler's P.O.V
I stayed up really late reading, like till 4 in the morning late. So when I woke up I wasn't really surprised to see that it was 10:38, I've got a few minutes before I have to leave go go get my car.
I look around the room and notice that no one else is in the room. "Well Chewy, its Thanksgiving break" I say as I feed him, I pass Angel's cage and rub her head with my finger through one of the openings.
I'm not gonna shower since im gonna be bleaching my hair today, and the oils will protect it a little from the chemicals. I do two French braids so my hair doesn't look dirty and brush my teeth.
I put on some Nike shorts, a grey thermal long sleve shirt, some fuzzy socks, and my worn out converse hightops that I wear religiously.
I grab my phone and wallet and go downstairs to wait for Daniel. As I reach the bottom of the stairs I'm met with people, and a lot of them.
I notice Greyson sitting in the couch with Felix and all those boys from math.
I avert my eyes from everyone and go to the kitchen and grab a pop tart and apple juice and sit at the island and wait.
At 10:59 sharp me and Daniel are headed out the door. We get in his car and head off, I'm so excited my hands are stiming a little.
"So what kind of car do you drive" he asks and I realize I haven't told them yet, "You're just going to have to see" I say and look out the window.
"If there's too many people today just tell me and Chris and we'll tell them everyone can't be over at once okay" I don't wanna put people out.
"I wouldn't wanna do that, make people not be able to come over" I say twiddling my thumbs, "No Tyler, they'll be fine your comfort is more important understand?" ugh why can't he just not he so nice.
"What's your opinions on Grandpa's" he asks out if no where, what's that even mean.
"What?" "Chris's dad, you'll meet him next Thursday, I think he'll really like you" he says and that makes me wonder about his parents. "Not going to be meeting your parents?" I look over at him, "My parents dont like Chris, and don't approve of us" okay shouldn't have asked.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked" I hope he forgives me he's really nice to me, I don't want to ruin that. "No you're good" and we've made it to Mark's Moters.
"Do you need me to go in?" He asks taking a look around, okay true it is a sketchy looking place but I'll be fine.
"I'm good" "You sure, I don't want something to happen to you" he really sounds concerned. "I promise" I say smiling, he nods and drives off.
I go in and up to the counter where a guy in a mechanic shirt stands behind it. "Um hi I'm Tyler Reeds I'm here to pick up my car" "Okay I'll have someone pull in around front, you can follow the instructions on the pin pad" he says and picks up the desk phone.
I insert my card and wait for it to tell me to remove it, then get my receipt. I go out and stand in front of the door and wait, finally my pink beauty pulls up.
A man who looks like he's in his forties gets out, "You have a nice car here" he says as he hands me my keys, "Thanks" I say and hop in.
AHHHHH I love my car everything about it. I hate the color pink but this car is just too cute and the color works for it, it's a 1950's Oldsmobile Super Rocket 88 that's pink and creme colored. Yeah there's no radio but it's fine, if I really want to listen to music I can pull up my playlist on my phone and put it in my cup holder.
I drive back home ready to get started on my hair, as I pull into the driveway I see Greyson and his friends outside playing football, most in only their shorts and shoes no shirt.
Once my car is spotted they stop. I get out, lock it and head up to the door. "Tyler is that your car!" Felix's eyes almost pop out of his skull, I smile and nod and continue my way to the door.
Right as I get to the porch there's a sudden pain in the side of my face. I look beside me and see the football they had been throwing a few minutes before, "Oh my god I'm so sorry" one of them says, I kick the ball off the porch for them and go inside.
My face hurts now, stupid football players.
