"Stupid Jock"||Tyler Hernandez x Reader

GET THAT JEEP?

"I'm not saying we should stop trying to find a way out— just maybe not with this particular plan. We don't even really need guns anymore, right?"

"And you chose now to bring this up? Now?!" Ashlyn ran a hand through her short hair in frustration.

"After all the prepping, the training, the sneaking around placing the traps, and right before we actually do something, you want to back out?"

"There's too many right now!" Tyler argued.

"That's why we have traps!" She refuted.

"No."

"NO!"

"I'm getting that Jeep! Even if we decide we don't need guns, eventually we'll need to go out there and learn how this place works so we can find a way out! That was what we agreed on!" She was getting angrier by the minute and you knew it wouldn't be long before she blew her top.

"Hey, Ash...maybe you should—" Aiden tried to calm her down but failed and got interrupted.

"Don't tell me what I should do!"

"If you hadn't been so persistent in bothering me, I never would have gone to Savannah and none of this would have ever happened! You keep pushing my boundaries and i'm tired of it!!" She scowled, glaring at Aiden.

"Why are you so worked up?!" You looked at Tyler and it astonished you how stupid he could be.

"Because we're ready now, but if something goes wrong in the future because I let us wait and not take the initiative, it'd be my fault as the leader!"

"Yeah well no one said you had to be the 'leader', you did that on your own!"

'Gods, Tyler please shut your fucking mouth' You muttered below your breath, pinching the bridge of your nose.

"Who else was going to do it?! I've been hearing all those monsters all my life so apparently I have some weird connection to this place!"

"This all happened when the phantom grabbed me, and I didn't say anything about it. I don't think it's entirely my fault, I'm just as confused and scared as you all are." Ashlyn had begun to yell, making some of the others flinch.

"But i'm the best suited to take 'responsibility' for what's happening right?! To try and find a way out of this mess and protect you guys at the same time!" She had stopped, huffing as she vented out her frustrations. You knew what happened after something like this, so you readied yourself to go after her.

You saw her clench her fist and she ran across the graveyard, not seeing where she went. Before you went, you knew you had to say some things.

Tyler just scoffed, muttering as if it wasn't his fault. You turned to them; you knew you couldn't speak for her but you could try to explain more or less.

"Guys, try to understand here. Talking to you here Tyler."

He rolled his eyes as you continued. "Imagine it like this, you and your group choose a specific topic that takes a lot of work, right? You guys have a month and everyone works on it, but it's you who oversees it all feeling like it's up to you since you chose the topic. You stick to it the entire time, almost loyally."
