Third Person's POV
Jeremy and Tyler made their way back to the vet to get her things before the car accident. Then after they were done they went to get something to eat as Tyler was hungry. Completely over eating the hospital food, which he can't blame her.
"Someone's enjoying her food." Jeremy says as Tyler just looked at him before shoving she food practically down her throat. "It's not going nonwhere."
Tyler didn't say anything instead she just kicked his leg making him make a noise. He glared at Tyler who just smiles like nothing happened pretending to be innocent.
"What I didn't do anything. Stop looking at me like that." Tyler says to Jeremy as he shakes his head as he drinks his soda as Tyler does the same.
"Well if there is a bruise there I know why." Jeremy says as Tyler just eats her food and ignoring him. Soon the two of them were done with their food.
After they were done Jeremy had to drop off Tyoer because it was date night for him as Jasmine. Which is fine because she has a date: with food. So she's not complaining. Fries before guys right?
After Jeremy dropped her off at her house she saw a strange car in the driveway but without thinking she walked the sidewalk to the house and opened the door. When she opened the door her mouth dropped when she saw the person.
It was her grandmother Evelyn. The one person she literally never thought she'd see again.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Tyler exclaimed to her grandmother making her turn to her granddaughters outburst. "Yeah I'm leaving, bye." She says as before she could leave her grandmother stopped her.
"Get back here Tyler Jade." Evelyn says making the teenager stop dead in her tracks. Her grandmother is the only person to call her by her first and middle name.
Tyler slowly turned around to give her grandmother a nasty glare before huffing and going to her bedroom and slamming the door shut making Mary jump. Frank put his arm around his niece.
"She's happy." Mary says as she squeezed Frank's hand a little.
"Father please come forth to the door." Tyler's voice can be heard from inside her bedroom as Mary didn't even crack a smile as Frank's left her with their grandmother as he did walk to the door and opened it.
"Tyler---" Frank says not wanting to cause a scene with his mother here but the daughter has other plans.
"Why is the witch here?" Tyler asks her father as he sighs at the name that Tyler calls Evelyn.
"Don't." Frank warns his daughter as she rolls her eyes from her vanity mirror. Her big brown eyes circle around her sockets. "She's going to be here for a while, and you have to be here. I know you and her don't get along, but that's no excuse." Frank says as Tyler's big eyes circles in their socket.
"How long is a while of my patience and sanity?" Tyler asks her father as he brushed Tyler's curls as she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"A month." Frank says as Tyler spit out her Starbucks drunk at the words her father had just informed her.
A-a m-month?
"A-a m-month? I have to deal with the witch for a month?! Are you trying to kill me." Tyler exclaims not caring if the neighbors can hear her and her outburst.
Frank sighs at Tyler as he knows that Evelyn and Tyler don't have the best relationship but it doesn't come close to Tyler and Frank's relationship. Before the father and daughter could respond again the door faintly knocked as Frank opened it as it was Mary, and the girl hurried into the room wanting to get away from the witchy grandmother. Which was fine because no one likes the witch.
"Ty please, if you are still alive after she leaves, I will take you two somewhere. Okay?" Frank says trying to at least attempt Tyler to give in now. Tyler thought it over before she replied as she gave in a loud dramatic sigh, which made Mary grin a little.
"Fine, but as long as I get a tattoo." Tyler replies as Frank nods his head as Mary raised her eyebrow. "What it's going to be about my parental figure." She says as Frank looked at his daughter. "My wonderful mother." She replied with a bigger grin but it turned into a scowl when Evelyn opened the door.
"So this is where the escape party is. Can I join?" Evelyn asks as Tyler went to say something but Frank glanced at her, as she shook her head faintly.
"Sure, why not. The party was just leaving, anyway." Tyler says grabbing her Starbucks drink and walking out of her room, with the rest of the party following in suit.
"I have a gifts for Mary, if you don't mind." Evelyn says as Tyler shares her Starbucks drink with her father as Mary's eyes widen as Tyler rolls her eyes as she doesn't expect Evelyn to give her anything. As she never did in the past anyway so why start now.
"Right. Mary let's go to the living room." Frank says ushering Mary to the living room where Tyler already beat Mary to it as she has her legs crossed as she's on her phone.
Mary opens the gifts like it's Christmas morning as she has a wide smile. Then the last of the several presents are opened as Mary rips the paper to reveal the Apple logo.
"An Apple? Whoa." Mary says as Tyler snickered.
"To think of it, I thought you gave her a fruit." Tyler says without looking up from her phone as she's texting Jeremy and Jasmine in the group chat.
"Ty, not now." Frank says as he dumped the ice in the sink and put the empty cup in the recycling bin.
As per usual Evelyn ignores Tyler's sarcastic comments and Tyler in general. "It's a MacBook, darling. Top of the line with the retina display." Evelyn explains as Tyler does her best not to roll her eyes at her grandmother, because Evelyn's an ass. That and Frank told Tyler to be on her best behavior. What is she a child.
In her defense, he was only suggesting that she's on her best behavior. Suggesting that your child is on their best behavior is a suggestion not an order. But then again, Frank promised the girls that he'd take them somewhere, and also so Tyler can get a tattoo.
Tyler being the rebel she is.
"Thank you, Grandma." Mary says in awe of the gift from her grandmother.
"Grandmother or Evelyn will do just fine. Mary, the battery is fully charged, and there's some interesting software for you to explore..." Evelyn says as Frank comes back after taking a drink.
"Yes, but sadly, school night, and there's homework to do. What a surprise though, right? Say good night to Grandmother or Evelyn." Frank says as Mary got up not wanting to start an argument with Frank about this.
"What about Tyler, sure she has homework to do?" Evelyn says as Tyler looked up from her phone, and she looked at her father.
"Evelyn." Frank says not wanting to push Tyler's patience right now, because he can tell it is a thin line, if that. He doesn't want to make Tyler madder than she is now, because he knows what will happen if that does happen. It won't be good, as Tyler as anger issues.
"Frank, if I recall I wasn't talking to you." Evelyn shot back to her son as Tyler narrowed her eyes at her grandmother not even bother moving from her spot on the couch.
"No need to be a bitch. What did you do wake up on the wrong side of the bed? For fifty years?" Tyler shot back at her grandmother as Frank sighed at his daughter as he also shook his head. As he knows where this is going to go, and it won't be good.
"I surely didn't raise you to be a bitch, Tyler Jade." Evelyn says as Tyler rolls her eyes big time, with a scoff.
"Yeah, I remember that, because you didn't raise me at all. You were so busy in fucking I don't where, to even care that I even existed. Dad may not be the best father out there, but at least he stuck around. He asked me how my day went, even if it was shitty, he didn't care. You do not have the right to ever say you raised me." Tyler says standing up and defending her father. Frank looks at his daughter as he had a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth at what Tyler said about him. It is true, Frank may not be the best father out there, but at least he stuck around.
"Maybe it's a good thing your god forsaken mother died in that crash." Evelyn says as she crosses her arms over her chest as she watches Tyler's eye starts twitching as it means one thing. She's livid.
Before anything could be said between the grandmother and granddaughter, Frank steps in between his mother and daughter. "ENOUGH!! NOW!!" Frank says finding his voice as Tyler stopped as she looked down to the ground before she walked to her room and closed the door.
"What did I tell you? She has anger issues. I could get her some help by sending her to a psych ward. I know a good place, for Tyler." Evelyn says as Frank had enough of his mother's bullshit.
"She's not mentally crazy, mother." Frank says standing up for his daughter, as he can hear her crying in her room.
"Well she's acting like a baby, about something stupid." Evelyn says as Frank is getting livid at what his mother is saying.
"Her mother dying in that crash, isn't something stupid." Frank says raising his voice at his mother, not caring if he sounds really bitchy. But Evelyn has no excuse and reason to come into his home saying all of that.
Because it's not necessary, also knowing very clear that it's a sensitive thing for Tyler. Why? Because she was in that car crash with her mother. Because she was the only survivor of the crash, when she was seven years old. The same age as Mary now.
"Good night, Frank." Evelyn says walking out of the house, as when Evelyn walked out of the house, of course with slamming the door. Frank walked to Tyler's room and knocked on the door.
"It's open." Was the muffled voice of Tyler, as Frank opened the door and peeked his head inside and then walked into her room before closing the door. "Is the witch gone?" Tyler says as Frank hummed a response at his daughter.
"Yeah she's gone, matter of fact she just left." Frank says as Tyler turned around as her makeup was now smudged so bad that it looked she got rejected for a date. Frank walked to Tyler's bed and sat at the edge, as once again there's an awkward silence between the two, not knowing what to say and or saying anything, that isn't small talk.
Which is killing them right now, because they were doing so good before but now they're back to their old habits. Of zero communication.
"Oh thank God." Tyler says as she sniffed her nose as Frank handed her her tissue box on her night stand, as she grabbed it and grabbed a tissue and blew her nose.
"I'm sorry that happened. I'm sorry about what she said about your Mom." Frank says apologizing to Tyler as she tried to smile just a little but it didn't work.
"It's fine, it's not the worst thing she has said." Tyler says as Frank shakes his head at her.
"No, it's not. She had no right to say that." Frank says trying to reason with Tyler, but as per usual his 'reasoning', is more like a debate.
"Dad, please. It's fine. It really is." Tyler says as Frank groaned at this as Tyler cracked a very tiny smile at her father, at where this is going.
"Fine, whatever." Frank says as Tyler feels just a little better at this.
After talking for a couple more minutes the father-and daughter walked out of Tyler's room and found Mary completely transfixed on the laptop screen. "This puppy is lllloaded with cool problems."
Mary says as Tyler shakes her head a little, as Frank slings his arm around Tyler's neck, as she leans her head onto his shoulder, as they go to their makeshift dining table.
"Wanna talk about it?" Frank whispers to Tyler to make sure that Mary isn't listening. She doesn't care right now because she's too preoccupied with her laptop.
"Do you want a hurricane of anger issues?" Tyler says to him as she opens a Starbucks coffee can as it's vanilla, as she takes a nice long sip from it.
"Okay, then that solved it." Frank says as Tyler chuckled a little as she is feeling just a little better, but it's still not that good.
Tyler was going to say something but Frank's phone rang, as he grabbed it from the table, and saw who called as he hung up, before slamming the phone on the table.
"Okay, buster. More slamming your phone on the table the more breaky it will have. Then you won't be able to use it." Tyler says pointing to the half cracked side of his phone, as Frank huffed a little at Tyler.
