chapter 4

tayler pov
i was grabbing some snacks from the kitchen to take back upstairs for myself and some of the others until i heard the faint screaming of a familiar voice.. "get the fuck off of me." i knew that voice.. it was addison.

what the fuck was going on? i rushed over, following the sound of addison's voice which led me to her and tony slightly away from the crowd. "what the fuck is going on here? tony, addison clearly isn't interested so get the fuck away from her" i yelled, losing my temper.

"this is my speciality, i got this" i asserted, it being my turn in beer pong. i was about to throw my ping pong ball but i suddenly became distracted by the sound of tayler shouting. tayler usually kept pretty calm so for him to be shouting something must be up. that being said, josh and i immediately left the game and hurried downstairs and what i saw made me beyond angry.. "tony what the fuck do you think you're doing?"

tony was clearly trying to pursue something with addison and it wasn't going to happen.. i would make sure of it. addison was evidently uncomfortable yet tony, being the disgusting person he was, didn't respect that in the slightest. this wasn't the first time tony had tried to make moves on girls against their will and i deeply hoped that he had never made addison feel this way before.

tayler and josh pulled addison away, making sure that she was okay, whilst tony stood in silence, patently being irritated by us boys putting him in his place. i pulled him by his shirt so i was looking him in the eyes.. "don't even think about trying anything with addison again. she isn't interested so respect that. if i find out that anything like this happens again, you're not going to like what i do to you. now fucking leave."

"bryce who the fuck do you think you are? it's actually so funny that you think you have this much power and control over me. what goes on between addison and i has nothing to do with you, it's not my fault that she chose me over you. you guys didn't work out for a reason.. i get that you're still in love with her and aren't able to comprehend that she doesn't love you back, but she's moving on and you have to accept that." tony was making my blood boil, with everything he said i could feel myself becoming angrier and angrier. i was about to snap back but before i could, my attention was drawn to addison who did it for me..

"tony just shut up.. we both know that there is nothing going on between us. i've told you this so many times but i did not choose you and i never will. and you trying to make bryce jealous isn't working, instead you're making yourself look beyond stupid.. bryce knows that i would choose him over anyone." tony walked off without saying a word. hopefully he finally got the message and will put an end to his shit.

"thank you, bryce" i said, giving him a hug. "no need to thank me addison, but please let me know if anything like this happens again." i then began to tell bryce about everything that's happened with tony recently.. "i don't know what his problem is. i've told him countless times that i'm not interested but he just never stopped. it's never gotten this far before.. it's usually just him sending me an excessive amounts of flirty texts and building up this ship online, but i'm glad you guys were here." bryce and i continued to talk before i told him that i should probably leave. as much as i loved speaking to him and didn't want to leave him, after everything with tony i wasn't feeling the party vibe anymore.

"do you need a ride home?" bryce asked sweetly. dixie said that she'd leave whenever i was ready but she was having such a good time so her night shouldn't have to end early just because mine was.. and the same with bryce, i didn't want him to have to leave just because i wanted to. "no it's okay i'll call an uber" i responded.

"addison i can take you, don't think that you're ending my night or anything because to be honest i'm not really feeling it anymore after the tony situation either. i've hardly drank, i'll be good to drop you home" i said, finally being able to convince addison to let me drop her home. i know how much she hates going in ubers alone at night and i was done with this party anyways.

addison quickly went to say bye to dixie, letting her know that i was giving her a ride home and dixie telling addison that she'd be going back to sway with griffin.

"thanks bryce" addison said as we got into the car, me telling her it was no problem whatsoever. "i wish we weren't so busy" addison said, making my heart feel warm.. there was no better feeling than knowing that we both still liked each other. "i know but soon our schedules will start to clear up a bit and before we know it we'll have all of the time in the world for each other" i said, addison smiling but then replying "what if we're busy forever?" "right now having such busy schedules is new to us both, but soon we'll get the hang of it and be able to manage our time better. so even if we are busy forever, we'll be able to make time for each other."

addison pov
i couldn't help but feel pure happiness hearing bryce speak about us being able to always make time for each other. he was so right. i'd never thought of it as being something we just had to get used to but hearing that has made me look at our future together in a whole new way, and i'm so glad.

as we pulled up to my house, the car began to feel wobbly all of a sudden.. "shit" i heard bryce mutter under his breath. i asked him what had happened, him telling me that he thinks he has a punctured tyre. he got out of the car and he was right.. there was a nail pierced into his tyre.

"bryce don't worry, we can call someone to fix it tomorrow.. you can stay over" i offered, it already being 3am.

***
sleepover..? 🙈 or will bryce turn down the offer?
