No way out ~open~

[Tyla Jackson]

It had started off a pretty bleak looking day but this chance meeting had made the day suddenly seem a lot brighter. Tyla couldn’t help but broaden his smile as Skylar agreed to help him out. Even if it was just to know the where abouts of Jack.
However, there was one thing that nagged at the back of his mind.
“Skylar, if your powers are…well, linked to him then wouldn’t that mean that he will know your moves too? What if he finds out I’m here?”
The thought made him shudder as the smile dropped of his face. At least if all did fall through, Tyla would still be able to play the first hand in all this.

Looking over at Max, his stomach grumbled and he found himself wishing the daft mutt hadn’t spilt his drink and that he had picked up a cookie too. The smile slowly came back, as always he was thinking of food when he had more important things to sort out.

“So Skylar, what would you say our first step should be? I mean, we are going to need to swap numbers…if you don’t have a phone for security reasons then you can have my spare, but you’re going to have to keep me updated ok?” He gave Skylar a stern look that meant it was time to talk serious. “And you can’t back out halfway through and leave me hanging yeah?”
If Skylar was willing to help out and meant what he had said, Tyla would be forever in his debt. Plus, a new friend wouldn’t go a miss around here and maybe Tyla could help Skylar if he ever needed it.
So far, the plan seemed like the best thing that had happened to him since moving.[/color]


OCC~ Oh my god, i'm so sorry it took so long! Internets down at mine but should be back on by the time i return home again

[Skyler Eli Eastwood]

OOC: Yay!!! You finally replied! ;D Lol its fine i was just getting bored not being able to do something when i came home from work, hope things are going good at your end ^^

IC: What Tyla said next didn't surprise him and the thing was, was that only Skylar knew of this. He possessed the power of telepathy, which means he could read minds and he already knew of Jack's power before Jack even told him and he didn't admit to having powers to Jack. Skylar just smiled some and said. He doesn't know.....I only knew about his powers because I read his mind, he can't read minds and I never told him and he never ask so i am very much sure he doesn't even know.

What would their first step be? He wondered that at first before saying. I might have to use your spare because I don't have a phone because of those security reasons and I think it would be best to maybe just let Jack out...that way you can get him far easier than from inside the asylum. He said.

I wouldn't go back on my word, I am willing to help you all the way through unless you don't need my help then just say the word and I will leave. He promised and smiled.

[Tyla Jackson]

The smile on Tyla’s face only grew as Skylar explained about his powers and how Jack didn’t know. He had a good point, why tell someone if they didn’t ask. Then again, Jack seemed to be the type of person who wasn’t really interested in anyone but himself so it didn’t come as a surprise.
He giggled slightly, his nerves being chewed up inside, anxious for the day to come quicker as he placed his hand on max who had bounded over to see what the two guys were doing.

They sat in silence for a moment at Skylar thought. When he did speak, Tyla had to agree yet again that his new friend was right. He hadn’t really thought about where he was going to meet Jack for the first time. It had crossed his mind that maybe he’d have to find a way into the asylum but that was a stupid idea; even he had to admit that.

He nodded his head then quickly shook it again as Skylar continued.
“No, I think I’m definitely going to need all the help I can get and you know a hell of a lot more than me.” He replied feeling slightly awkward again that he had to admit someone was using their brain more than he was.
He’d always been one to rush into things all guns blazing but Skylar was right. If he was going to ever get the chance to meet Jack face to face, he was going to have to listen carefully to everything Skylar told him to do from now on.

“The phone’s no problem, I usually change mine every few months so I have a few that are fine, I just hang on to them for some reason.” He shifted his position again so Max could rest his head on his lap, the mutt panting from all the running about he had done.

“Maybe you could come over for dinner sometime? I’m sure the lady wouldn’t mind, she makes some pretty good food and then we can talk there? I mean, it will be a lot easier than sitting out here… that’s if you want?”
It was a kind gesture, something not many people had seen from Tyla in a long time but with new prospects arising and Skylar being the only person he had talked to here, it wasn’t like it was strange to invite a new friend for dinner right?

He bit his lip suddenly worried that Skylar would laugh at him and break his pride. Feeling his cheeks burn again he turned his attention back to Max and found himself wondering where the nearest place for water was in this secluded place.

[Skyler Eli Eastwood]

He could tell that it was making Tyla feel slightly awkward that he seem to know so much more than Tyla did...which was understandable. Sky only knew so much because he had the power of telepathy....and he was inside the same asylum as Stone and even talked with him. Stone even tried to get him into bed, it didn't work thought because Sky didn't want to sleep with someone who had dome something so horrible.

A sigh left him as he laid back down, laying a arm over his eyes and stayed quite, only listening to peoples thoughts and his own. When Tyla invited him over, he moved his arm away and just smiled. I would like that....thanks. He said and smiled. Can I ask you something....and be honest.....are you frightened of me? He asked.

[Tyla Jackson]

Tyla held his breath as he waited for Sky’s answer, anxiously picking at the grass beneath them as he tried to hide the fact he was worried that Sky would turn the offer down, especially after it took him a lot to put the kind gesture forward in the first place. Luckily, Skylar seemed happy with the idea of a cooked mean and a new friend to talk to.
Again, the same half smile he’d forced on to his face since moving began to form on his lips again though this time; he didn’t try hiding it so much. He genuinely was feeling like things were starting to look in this hell hole of a town, all thanks to Sky. He giggled as relief and ran his fingers through his hair before Skylar asked him a question of his own.

He paused, hand midway through his hair as he tried to push his fringe from his eyes and looked at Sky with a puzzled look. This guy so far had come across as many things and although Tyler didn’t like his first impression, he felt happy he had given him a chance and heard him out.
It was more than most people got.

However, he hadn’t once come across as some kind of threat. Hell, Tyler had seen a lot worse.
He just didn’t seem the type that could hurt anyone unless the time called for it and there was no way Tyler was going to take that chance now. He kind of liked the guy, at least from what he knew so far though back in his home town he’d have never given him a second thought. He was far too obnoxious and careless then but now he was alone, there had been no point pushing Sky away.
The guy, the way he talked and the way he looked, just seemed too innocent, something Tyler would have at one point used to his advantage and walked all over.

His expression changed, the serious look he held so well most of the time had returned as he answered the question confidently.
“No… Why would I have to be scared? You wouldn’t hurt me. The same as you wouldn’t hurt anyone else intentionally and without reason.”
He bit his lip and lowered his gaze to the floor again.
“And you have my word, I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you or make youi feel threatened either. I'll trust you if you trust me.”

[Skyler Eli Eastwood]

There wasn't any fear in Tyla's mind, not that he could read but he thought to just ask because sometimes people can keep things in the farthest regions of their mind that can't really be picked up as easily as him just tuning in. He waited for an answer, seeing the very serious expression form on the others face and listened as he confidently answered what he had hoped for.

Skylar just smiled from the answer. I believe you and thank you. He said. He kinda wondered if the two would actually become really good friends, he hoped so because Skylar had no friends anymore, not since he was taken away and locked up.

[Tyla Jackson]

The smile alone on Skylar’s face was enough to make anyone’s stomach flip inside. He watched Sky’s lips move as he thanked him, suddenly unsure of why the butterflies inside his stomach had decided to wake up now.
Maybe it was because it had been so long since he had anyone he could talk to, share his secrets with and actually smile in front of which is what he was doing right now. It was even a shock to him that someone had managed to make him feel like he could be himself again to make him smile like he was.
Or maybe it was just because he knew this chance meeting meant that what he’d been waiting for so long was getting closer every second that he was with Sky.

His eyes wondered over Sky’s face and finally rested on the others. For a few seconds he forgot Skylar could mind read and even though his yearning eyes pleaded that something might happen, his mind thought it too.

Suddenly realising that his thoughts had carried him away, he blinked hard and quickly turned away again, climbing to his feet quicker than any normal human should be able too. At this point in time, it felt like leaving was probably the best thing to do right now before he gave to much away to the guy that had randomly caught his eye.
His cheeks as red as his hair, he avoided eye contact with sky as he took the lead he had placed through his belt and clipped it on to Max who was quiet happily chewing at a stick by Sky’s feet, pausing to glance at the stranger ever so often to make sure he didn’t have any plans to steal it.

“I’m sorry Sky… I need to get Max home or at least find him some water.” His voice was mumbled, his mouth unable to pronounce his words as the embarrassment chewed up inside him.
He quickly marched to where his notebook, guitar and bad laid abandoned on the floor a few feet away. Stuffing everything but the notebook and pen into its rightful carriers, he quickly scribbled down his address and number and tore the piece of paper off, all the while silently cursing in his head and yelling at himself for being so forgetful.
Taking to his feet again, he turned awkwardly to walk back to Tyla and only then realised Tyla had probably just heard all the names he had screamed at himself and groaned loudly.

To save himself anymore embarrassment, he gathered his belongings and quickly shuffled back to Skylar, only glancing at him when he stopped above him and held out the piece of paper he had just wrote on.

[Skyler Eli Eastwood]

Sky could....hear Tyla's thoughts and felt his cheeks brighten out of reaction to Tyla's sudden....thoughts and attraction. He just stared at the other, his light blue eyes could bore a hole into the others head. Tyla quickly remembered that Skylar could read minds and quickly regained control of himself.

Skylar remained quite, just watching as Tyla started to scramble and get all his belongings together, putting things in the wrong pocket and holder. He watched the other scribble his address onto the piece of paper and very awkwardly walk back over to there Skylar stood, handing him the piece of paper.

He took it, his fingertips lightly brushing against Tyla's hand and just stared up at him. He gently gripped Tyla's wrist to keep him there. You don't have to leave.... He said softly.

[Tyla Jackson]

Tyla’s hand froze in place as he felt Sky’s fingers brush against his skin. His heart skipped a beat, as though Skylar’s touch had shocked him and the butterflies in his stomach caused such a commotion inside that he nearly felt sick.
He watched as Skylar placed his hand around his wrist, his gentle grip denying him permission to leave just yet.
When he spoke, Tyla couldn’t even bring himself to look at him.
He didn’t want to leave yet but he’d been gone a lot longer than he usually would have been after a silly row and no doubt about it, if he stayed any longer, things would just grow even more complicated than he needed right now.

He tried to swallow the lump that had formed in his throat and attempted to speak without thinking too much. The excuses were real and he knew he was already in trouble but part of wanted him to ignore the guilt washing over him, stay and let Sky be the distraction he needed to escape the chains that held him down.

“I’m sorry Sky, I really can’t.” His voice was soft, almost a whisper as he tried to hide the disappointment in his voice.
“But I want to stay…”[/b]
He pulled his arm back just enough to loosen Sky’s grip on him and moved his hand so his own fingers stroked the others, the strange feeling in his stomach growing.[/color]

“And I’m sure Ashley will be pleased to meet you when you want…” His words had slowed due to his head spinning with all the thoughts rushing in at once. His fingers now entwined with Sky’s, his eyes never looked away as he softly brushed his thumb over the other palm, tracing his lifelines as he explored the indentations.
“…Please don’t make me go…”[/b]

He almost felt angered at himself that although he was begging his mouth to stop making excuses and stay, he couldn’t find the courage to say any of it out loud.[/color]
“…Until then…it was very nice meeting you…”
His finger finally came to rest between Sky’s as he clung gently to the other. Having to blink a few times to stop his head spinning and bring him almost back to reality, his eyes found Sky’s and he held them there for a moment, the hopeless look on his face showing that he really didn’t have a choice to do what he wanted.

“This isn’t right…”

He took a careful step closer and placed his spare hand flat against Sky’s chest, feeling his heartbeat beneath his top and stayed there for a few seconds before his lips found Sky’s.

Everything about it was wrong. He had done so well to stay loyal to Ashley lately until Sky turned up, almost like a lifeline, he forgot his fiancé and the drama she put him through and let his mind take control instead.
Besides, how can it be wrong if it felt right?[/size]

[Skyler Eli Eastwood]

Skylar had only been with one other person...but that wasn't really love. He hadn't heard from his ex in sometime and he was the only person to have ever been with Skylar and that had been years.

Tyla's fingers lightly brushed over his hand, sending goosebumps coursing though his arm, shoulder and down his spine. He felt something that he had never felt before....butterflies. He felt his stomach do flip flops like that time he had to perform on stage, in a play at his school in-front of a huge audience of parents and teachers.

No words left him, he just kept his blue eyes onto Tyla's face and could hear every thought running through the others head. He didn't understand this, when did this attraction even occurred? Skylar was bi-sexual, although he had never been with anyone, there have been males out there who he thought were beautiful and Tyla was certainly beautiful in his eyes.

Tyla took a step closer, pressing his hand flat against his chest and felt his heart skip a beat for a moment and his eyes widen when Tyla's lips were pressed against his. At first, he just remained still but his eyes soon closed and he returned the kiss.

[Tyla Jackson]

At first, Tyla’s heart nearly forced its way out of his chest as it was beating so hard. Skylar didn’t return the kiss and for a second, Tyla thought the worst was about to happen, that he’d read it all wrong and was well on the way to terrifying his new friend.
Luckily, soon he felt Sky’s lips move against his and he felt his nerves relax a little.
His grip tightened around Sky’s t-shirt as he pushed himself closer, finally feeling the release he’d missed so much since trying to better himself. The worst thing was that any guilt he felt soon disappeared as he felt time stand still around them and everything else disappear along with it.

His kiss was soft and gentle though he craved for something more but didn’t allow himself to get too carried away. His hand raised now to Sky’s face and gently touched his cheek, his skin soft beneath his fingers.
Quickly, he pulled away and dropped his hand, his eyes dropped to the floor again as he took a deep breath.
“Now, I really have to go. You could pop round tomorrow if you like? I’m sure she won’t mind… you will come won’t you?”

His eyes quickly found Sky’s again, a look of worry on his face as he thought Sky would probably stand him up. For some reason, he felt he needed Skylar in his life now. He was someone to turn to and use to be close to as he could no longer stand being close to Ashley.
Although he was using Sky for his own vendetta needs, he didn’t want Sky to think he was using him for other things too. Nobody appreciated that or liked it and so far, Tyla felt sure he’d managed to keep these thought wrapped up in secret. It wasn’t all just for the sake of it anyway. He did like the guy and he did want to see him again.
“Please don’t let me down…” He whispered anxiously.

[Skyler Eli Eastwood]

The kiss was very gentle and soft, something he had never really experienced before when he dated Austin. He blushed some when he felt one of Tyla's hand come up, lightly rubbing his soft cheek. The kiss ended then and he just stared up at Tyla who looked down.

He could hear the others thoughts and just smiled some. What time would you like me to come over? He asked softly.

He knew that Tyla feared that Skylar was setting him up, but he wasn't and wouldn't do that to someone. He gently touched the others cheek, lightly rubbing the soft skin with his thumb. You shouldn't worry so much.....I'll be there tomorrow. He promised.

[Tyla Jackson]

Tyla bit at his bottom lip, unsure of what to really make of what had happened. He’d acted on impulse which seemed right at the time but now it had finished, a feeling of guilt washed over him. Not because what he’d done would disappoint and hurt Ashley but more he needed to keep his act together for the sake of the baby she was carrying.

Skylar’s words caught him by surprise and he sighed in relief. He wasn’t been stood up and Skylar wasn’t going to make him feel like the complete fool he was acting like.
A weak smile curved on his lips but he still kept his eyes down. The feel of Sky’s touch against his skin made him wince, he’d already taken things to far as it was and surely it wasn’t the best idea to have him round when Ashley was there. She could read Tyla like a book, see when something was bothering him and if they were all stuck in the same room then god only knew she’d know something had happened just by looking at his guilt ridden face mixed with lust for the other guy.

He looked at Sky, the other guys touch making his need for him grow and there was no way he wanted to let him go. Not now anyway. Instead, he nodded his head and put on a confident face and could only hope he could pull this off, at least until she left the room or something.

“We usually eat around six so anytime around them is good. I guess… I’ll see you tomorrow then.”
He let his smile widen as the thought of seeing Skylar again so soon caused his mood to lighten yet again. Something Sky managed to do with very little effort.
With that, he quickly leaned back to Skylar, kissed his cheek and headed off, only turning to call Max before he disappeared through the trees in the direction of his home.
