Brendon's POV
❀ • ❀ • ❀ • ❀ • ❀

I look up at the lady in front of us and smile. I felt like I should still be nice to her, even though her sudden loudness kinda scared me.

I feel Tyler grip my hand tighter, and I become confused. I didn't understand what was wrong, we had just bumped into her, and she did kinda shout, but I don't see a really big problem.

I see her look us both up and down, before she turns to Tyler and raises an eyebrow.

"Tyler? I hardly recognized you," she said, and Tyler clears his throat a little bit as he loosens the grip on my hand.

"Yeah, uh.. Hi, Lacey," he replies, and I smile again, giggling softly as I use my other hand to mess with my skirt a tiny bit. I liked her name, it was pretty.

"Y-Your neckl-lace is p-pretty," I say softly, pointing to the jewel that was hung around her neck by a set of tiny chains. The jewel reminded me a bit of mine, but mine was bigger and shinier.

She looks down at her necklace and actually smiles at me whenever she looks back up, her eyes meeting mine.

"Thank you," she replies. "So, Tyler, who is this?" She goes on to ask, and I notice her nod her head in my direction, still smiling a bit. She was nice, but it kinda seemed like she was forcing herself to be, though it was pretty hard for me to tell.

"Uhm, his name is Brendon.." Tyler says, and I wave a little, bouncing a bit in place.

Lacey nods her head, and then she looks me over again. I can't help but shy away a little. Most of the time when people did this, they didn't like what they saw so I just wanted to save myself the embarrassment, or hurt feelings.

"How do you know him?" Lacey asks, and I notice Tyler's eyes widen, yet for some reason he stays quiet. Well if he wasn't gonna answer then I was.

"I'm Da-Dallon's boyf-friend!" I say, and I continue to hold Tyler's hand. I feel him start to drag me a little, and I don't really understand why.

"Yeah, uh, it was nice seeing you, Lacey!" Tyler says in a very rushed way, and he starts to drag me along more. Lacey suddenly steps in front of us, and it blocks us from going any further.

Tyler tenses up, and he grips my hand tighter again. I'm confused as to why he does it again, but I don't really question it.

When I look up to Lacey, she has a look of disbelief on her face.

"This little thing is his boyfriend? So he's moved on that quickly?" She says, and she sounds like she's annoyed almost. I whimper a little, since I didn't want her to lash out and yell at me and Tyler.

"Yeah, uh, like I said, nice seeing you, Lacey," Tyler tries to say, and he starts to pull me away again. I suddenly feel something grab my arm, and I yelp a little as I'm yanked backwards, closer to where Lacey is.

"Lacey, let him go! He hasn't done anything to you!" Tyler tries to say, and she ends up letting go of my arm, yet it still kind of burns because of her tight grip and her nails.

"No! I wanna know more about this little twink that is supposedly Dallon's boyfriend. He really moved on in that short amount of time?" She snaps, and he puts her hands on her hips as she looks at me. "I bet he's just "dating" you cause he was lonely, when he gets over it I'll bet he'll be done with you."

I whimper and I step closer to Tyler. I just wanted to go back to Dallon and have him hold me while Josh and Tyler played the game. I didn't want to talk to her anymore since all she was gonna do was be mean, and talk about me and Dallon.
