The End

It's been three weeks since Tyler left the hospital and now it's the end of first semester and the beginning of the winter break. Physical Therapy went by as smooth as physical therapy would but she still had another six weeks left of it.

This morning..December Eighteenth..was rather quiet and very very still. Almost as if the whole world stopped momentarily. Everyone was more sluggish through the winter breeze instead of  excited as you would expect students to be.

Tyler woke up that morning instantly wincing from the pain in her side and leg. She used one crutch to make her slow journey to the bathroom easier and began to slowly clean her stitches. She flinched every time she gave each wound the slightest touch. She let out a long sigh, slowly sliding off the rest of her clothes and sheepishly looked at her body in the mirror. Two weeks ago she would have cried at the sight of the coming scars but now the once bright shine in her eyes turned dark and cold,her bright smile turned to a maniacal grin,and her warm heart turned cold.

She climbed into the shower and let the cold water rush against her skin. She tilted her head back and let the feeling relax her.

She turned off the water and dried herself off. She sat on the edge of the bed placing on her undergarments, wrapping gauze around the area of the wounds. She slowly slid on a black pair of Nike Sweatpants and  a blue and orange pair of Nike Foamposite and placed a fitted black shirt over her torso. She went through her closet and found a black hoodie and her varsity jacket, then put them on.

She glanced at her crutches and decided to leave them behind, slightly limping out of the room.

"Hey Ty!" Her perky younger brother greeted her and ran to her side. She gave him a fake smile and kissed his head, grabbing her bag and leaving without a single word, or even touching the food that was set for her on the table. Her family exchanged sad expressions, becoming more and more aware that Tyler was no longer the same.

~~

It was nothing new to Tyler that students stopped, stared and exchanged whispers at the sight of her. Honestly the only people who didn't look at her differently was her team, and this smile was real at the sight of them as she walked into the gym.

They greeted her with smiles and hugs and offered to help her around for the day but she politely declined.

This was the group of people, though they did offer to help her, never looked at her any differently and that's what made her smile and laughs around them genuine.

Tyler felt as if everyone else treated her as a broken puppy, instead of who she already was and that annoyed her.

She dragged through the rest of the day just waiting for it to be over. She wore headphones and never took them off. Her friends and Jessica knew to not even to attempt a conversation with her.

~~

The last bell rang and students ran through the hallways and out of the building. Cold air rushed into the building but it didn't slow down anyone. Tyler waited until the classroom was empty to get up and walk towards the exit.

Jessica caught up to her in the hallway and slowly locked arms with Tyler, trying not to alarm or annoy her. Jessica gave her a weak smile and Tyler couldn't help but give her one back and intertwine her fingers with hers.

The walked hand in hand to Jessica's car and they drove back to her house. When they walked in  Jessica's mother was just leaving, giving them some alone time.

Tyler removed her jackets and and sat on the edge of Jessica bed, slightly wincing from pain. Jessica noticed and walked over, planting a light kiss on her cheek. She sat next to Tyler and laid her head on her shoulder.

"How are you babe?" She asked gently placing her hand over Tyler's and playing with her fingers.

"I'm fine...you?"

"I'm okay." She sat up and looked Tyler in her eyes. "Baby seriously are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Tyler slightly snapped. She took a deep breath after seeing the hurt expression on Jessica's face and pulled her into a tight hug, placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "I'm sorry....I Love You."

"I Love You Too..."

**Later That Night**

Tyler and Derek were in Big's basement waiting for him to come down.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked eyeing her curiously. Derek was completely down for the idea but only if Tyler was a hundred percent ready.

"I wouldn't be down here if I wasn't." Her gaze never left the empty chair that belong to Big.

About five minutes later he joined them in the basement with a girl behind him.

The girl was about 5'3 and her skin was caramel. She was beautiful..her long brown hair laid in natural curls and her soft pink lips were parted into a smile that shinned brighter than the sun.

Tyler quickly stood up and greeted the two as they walked in, ignoring the pain as she did.

"Ricky who are they?" The girl asked. Her voice was soft and cute, just as she was.

"Ricky?" Derek questioned.

"Yes Ricky...," he answered," that's my first name. Derek and Tyler I want you to meet my daughter Desiray. Desiray these are two of the kids your age I was telling you about."

"YOUR DAUGHTER?!"  They exclaimed in unison.

"Yes.. my daughter. She'll be living with me from now on."

Tyler extended her hand to the girl who hesitated to take it, but did.

"I'm Tyler."

"I heard...I'm Desiray."

"Nice to meet you."

Desiray eyed Tyler curiously, examining her features and taking in her view. 'She's cute' She thought to herself and sent her a bright smile.

"Tesoro (sweetheart in Italian) why don't you go upstairs and I'll join you for dinner in a little while okay?" He watched as she nodded and made her way out of the basement.

The door closed and everybody took a seat.

Big took out a black case and slid it across his desk to Tyler. She took a deep breath before opening it and staring at what laid inside.

"It's a 9mm sig sauer p226 (type of handgun for those who don't know.)." Big said leaning back in his seat. "So what's the plan."

"You're still hurt Ty.. how's this going to go down?"

"I'll heal. We find her...," her voice drifted as she picked the gun up and cocked it back," and then we kill her."
