Deserted But Not Alone novel Chapter 4

"Woohoo!! Fuck yeah!!" I raised my hand and cheered. "Tyler and Abby sitting in the car! Going to see the best movie ever!!!" We sang.

School had ended and Tyler offered to take me home while Adam dropped Taylor off at God knows where.-

"It's good to see you all happy and excited you know. You and Adam really deserve it" Tyler smiled and I mirrored his actions.

I understood what he was talking about. Ever since my parents died three years ago, Our aunt and uncle on our father's side were given the roles of our guardians after the death of our parents and have been responsible for our upkeep. The only issue is that they are the worst guardians ever.

All of my parent's properties were snatched away from us except the house. Adam and I both have two jobs that we work on the weekends and after school to fend for ourselves, plus the meagre amount that our relatives send to us weekly. The car that we share was bought after we scraped money together for two and half years. So we do deserve to be happy.

"Thanks. I love you, Ty." I pecked his cheek.

"Yeah you do. I mean you have to, after all, I am the best boyfriend in the world" he said, boosting his ego. I rolled my eyes dramatically.

"Hey we're here already," he said and unbuckled his seatbelt, I looked up to see that we had indeed gotten to my house.

"Wanna come in?" I asked and grabbed my bag from the back seat.

"Yeah sure." We both got out of the car and fought the way little kids fight, all the way to the front door.

"Surprise!!!!!!" That was all I heard, as soon as I switched on the lights in the living room

"What is this?!" I screamed in awe. "What are you guys doing here?" My colleagues at work were all here, including Adam's.

"We're here to celebrate your pre-birthday because some of us won't be around for your birthday due to the holidays" Martha the cook at Burger Zone piped up. Our birthday is on December 27th and this year's pre-birthday is just a day before because our birthday falls on a Saturday this year.

"How did you guys get in here anyways?" I asked again. I felt like my face was going to split in two from how hard I was grinning.

Everyone pointed at Tyler. I turned to the culprit beside me questioningly.

Tyler looked at anywhere but me sheepishly. "I may or have may not given them the spare key to set up the surprise." he rubbed his neck with his hand.

"Hey guys I'm ho- whoa!" Adam exclaimed, also surprised when he opened the door.

"What are you guys doing here?" He asked just like I did and they gave him the same reply they gave me.

We spent the rest of our time together eating pizza and some desserts that other people brought. Cans of Dr pepper, diet coke, soda, and bottles of root beer were strewn all over the place. After everyone had left, Tyler, Adam, and I cleaned the place and goofed around with the brooms and mops.

When it was starting to get dark, I looked at the time and realised it was almost 9:00! And we had school tomorrow. I kissed Tyler good night and told him to go home.

"Hey. Are you up for a movie?" Adam asked and turned on Netflix.

"Sure what are we watching?"
