~Tyler's POV~
Once I shut the door behind us, we sit there in silence. I'm trying to figure out what to do about Troye. I love him so much but he broke my heart! What if he decides to go back to Joey again? What if we do get together and our parents find out? Ugh so many what ifs. I look over at Shane and see him sitting on my bed silently.
"Shane? What do I do?" I ask in a small voice. He sighs before replying. "This is really hard to say but it needs to be said. Tyler, I think I'm in love with you. Before you say anything I know you love Troye, but I will treat you better than Troye did! I will be the best boyfriend ever I promise! While we were pretending to be together I realized I wasn't just pretending. So please, Tyler be my actual boyfriend?" He grabs my hands and I'm speechless. I don't really feel the same way about Shane like I feel about Troye, but Shane wouldn't leave me. I think right now I just need somebody who will love me unconditionally and I don't have to worry about them leaving me. I lean in and give Shane a soft kiss.
"Is that a yes?" He asks against my lips. I giggle and nod kissing him again. His lips don't feel like they are meant for mine but he won't leave me so I love him. Right?
We walk into the living room hand in hand and sit down. Nobody says anything so I cuddle back into shane and play the movie. Just as the end credits are rolling, the rest of our families walk in. Sage and Tyde joined us on the couch while mom and Shaun went to the kitchen to make dinner. Tyde is the one to break the silence. "Troye? Where's Joey? I thought he would be with you?" Troye shifts uncomfortably. "We broke up." Tyde looks confused before asking why. "I don't love him anymore. I have my eye on someone else." Tyde perks up. "Who? Tell me pleaseeeeee!" He glances over at me and shakes his head at Tyde. He's making this ten times harder.
After watching tv for a little, we get called into the dinning room for dinner. Mom made an amazing lasagna that made my mouth water. We all dug in while talking about our days. Tyde went to the park enjoying what's left of summer break, Sage went to the hairdressers and got highlights done, Shane and I stayed in, mom and Shaun were out buying things for the house and groceries, and when it became Troyes turn to speak, he said "Joey and I went out to eat. I then realized I love someone else and broke up with him. He made me walk home and here I am." The two people in the room who hadn't heard the news looked shocked.
"That's great honey! Who's this lucky guy?" My mom asked. She's always treated everyone like her own. "Um I can't tell you just yet. I have to see if he's still into me first then I'll tell you guys." I notice that he's talking about me. Oh shit what do I do?? I love Troye so much but Shane loves me! He's never done anything wrong I shouldn't treat him like this! As if he could read my mind, Shane squeezes my hand under the table.A little while later, Shane had to go home. Just as I was about to sit back down my name is called. "Tyler? Can I talk to you in my room real quick?" I sigh but nod following him to his room. As soon as I close the door behind me, I'm slammed up against it and his lips are on mine. I'm shocked but after a few seconds I kiss back. I missed the feeling of his lips on mine. Then I remember Shane and push him away. "Babe? What's wrong?" I sit on his bed and put my head in my hands. "Don't call me babe." "Did I do something wrong? Was that moving too quickly?" You can hear the concern dripping out of his voice. "No. It's the fact that I have a boyfriend." I feel the bed dip beside me as he sits in the same position I'm in. "Y-you don't love me anymore?" He voice cracks and I feel as if I'm dying inside "of course I still love you. I always have and always will. But Shane has always been there with me trough out all of this. I can't just dump him now that you came back to me. He loves me. I think I love him too..." My voice trails off at the end. "Please! I promise I'll never leave you again! I love you Tilly!" I haven't heard that nickname in so long! Why does he have to go and make everything harder? "No. I can't do that to Shane. I have to go." With that I'm walking across the hall to my room and decide to call Shane.
•PHONE CONVO•
Shane: Hey baby! It's kinda late everything alright?
Tyler: Oh um yeah but Troye just told me that he loves me and wants me back.
The line goes silent for a minute.
Shane: You told him no right?
He asks sounding upset.
Tyler:Yeah of course I did! I love you!
Shane: Good I love you too. Want to go shopping for school supplies tomorrow? Troye can come too if he wants.
Tyler: Yeah sure I'll ask him in the morning night babe love you.
Shane: Love you too.
•END OF CONVO•
I check the time and notice it's only 10:30 so I head downstairs to grab a glass of water. Just as I'm closing my door, I hear a muffled sob. I move closer to Troye's door and look through the crack. The sight is heartbreaking. He is lying face down on his bed surrounded by tissues sobbing into his pillow. I notice he is wearing one of my shirts from when I had spent the night in here and forgot to take it with me. I feel like shit. I wish I could just go in there and cuddle those tears away. But I'm with Shane. I close his door the rest of the way and head downstairs. I sit on the couch with my head in my hands. How can I fix this without hurting either of them?
