Prompt: 45. “Is that what you’re doing? Trying to make me hate you?”
—
You’re a young girl, barely out of high school, starting college. It was supposed to be the highlight of your life so far. Yet, it didn’t feel that way. You felt like you were behind in life like you were being thrown off by an obstacle you could never escape.
Bipolar disorder, it’s terrible. Some days you’re normal or hyperactive, just an overall okay mood even though the symptoms without it isn’t exactly the best. Or it can switch to a completely different mood that you can’t help. It throws you back and holds others back when they try to help and be there for you. So, initially, you don’t let people help. You convince them you can deal with it yourself, and that you’re fine.
Tyler doesn’t believe you though. He’s a bit older than you and knows how to help because he simply knew people and has experience. You keep pushing him out more often though, it’s been getting worse so you don’t hang out much anymore. You don’t text back often and are slacking off on answering his calls. One day he had enough, he was too worried.
You heard a knock at your door, but you hesitantly answered. Tyler hugged you immediately, not saying anything. You pushed him away and took a step back. “Please don’t Tyler… It’s okay… I’m okay” You turned and walked to another room. He followed and shook his head.
“No it’s not, and no you’re not. I can tell. But just answer me this Y/N… Why are you avoiding me?? You know I care and I want to help” Crossing your arms, you failed to answer the question. You didn’t want to give an answer.\
“Go away Tyler… I… I don’t need your help or your care… I just don’t need you.” You flinched at your words but you felt arms wrap around your waist and a deep voice whisper to you.
“Is that what you’re doing? Trying to make me hate you?” You inhaled, terrified, “Why baby?? I’m here for you and I’m not ever leaving.”
A sob emerged from you, he gripped onto tighter and brought you down to the floor with him.
“I just… I didn’t want to make you fall behind in life or hurt you… like how I do to myself. I can’t help what happens and what I say or feel… I’m scared…”
Tyler rocked you back and forth, letting you ramble until you couldn’t find any more words left. He whispered and loved you, promising you couldn’t ever hurt him or keep him behind in life. Promised to keep you going no matter what.
