You and Tyler had been together before the whole ordeal at nevermore, you didn’t know he was the Hyde, it was only after his fight with Enid that you saw him turn back into his human form that you found out the truth. You missed him, a lot. He had been the perfect boyfriend, sweet, attentive, thoughtful. You guys used to sneak out at night and make out in crackstones crypt, you’d go to the weathervane while he worked and sit there doing your homework, he’d bring you a coffee and a pastry on the house with a quick kiss to the forehead, you guys were inseparable, you were always there for him, especially when he fought with his dad. You didn’t blame him for what he did when he was a Hyde, he couldn’t control it. If anything, you felt bad for him, being manipulated and used like that by Laurel, using plant derivatives to drug him and get him to turn. You tried visiting him once at willow hill but he turned you away, almost pleading with you, telling you it was dangerous to be near him, Fairburn said it was the most emotional she’d ever seen him show but you couldn’t get over him and everyone at nevermore hated you for dating a Hyde, you became an outcast in a school for outcasts.

You were walking deep in the woods next to the river. You and Tyler would come here a lot, it was a special little place for the two of you, like your own little world, somewhere you’d come when you wanted to get away. Now you came here almost every single day. But today was different, in one of the caves you heard screams, despite knowing you probably shouldn’t go investigate, you still did. You wandered into the cave only to see someone curled up and screaming “leave me alone”, you stilled when you realize it was Tyler. He had escaped willow hill, he goes to attack but stops when he realizes it’s you, his gaze softening
