Chapter 9- Candice Avalon
"Hey! Ty!" Nic said in a happy tone. But, I know he's far from happy.
His brother's in the hospital for crying out loud!
I knew it was a bad idea to be nosy. I shouldn't have gone to Nic. But, in my defence, I didn't know it was him.
"What are you doing here?" Tyler asked him.
Maybe, I can still escape.
"Oh, you know Gavin's sickness?" Nic questioned, raising an eyebrow.
Gavin must be his brother.
"Oh." Tyler nodded understandingly.
I sighed and stood up, "I gotta go."
Nic smiled at me, "It was nice catching up with you."
I chuckled, "Yeah, same."
I walked out and went to my car.
"Wait, Candy!" A voice that was all-too familiar called.
I looked up at the sky and returned my gaze to Tyler.
"What?" I whispered.
Tyler licked his lips nervously, "Do you mind giving me a ride home?"
I stared at him for a moment.
Where was his sister? Did she leave him?
"Why?" I asked not so nicely. A bit rudely might I say.
"Because, as you can see; my kind and loving sister has left me alone in this hospital without telling me." Tyler says sarcastically.
Penny owes me big time.
"Get in the car." I muttered. I opened the driver's seat and got in.
He got in with a small smile and fastened his seatbelt.
I drove in silence before he decided to break it.
"I know, we had a past. But, can we like, forget about it now? The air's too tense. And you of all people should know that when the air is tensed, I start rambling and sying stuff that I don't even know that I'm saying. Like right now. Am I rambling? I'm rambling aren't I? God, I'm so annoying. Sorry. It's some sort of habit to do this. I mean, you should know. Unless you forgot, I know how forgetful you are. Yeah, like that time you forgot--" He didn't get to continue.
"Tyler?" I interrupted sweetly.
"Huh?"
"Shut. It." I hissed through gritted teeth.
"Sorry." The poor guy squeaked.
Sometimes I wonder if he really was on the football team.
Sometimes I even question his sexuality.
I just sighed and continued driving. After a while I turned on the radio to fill in the silence.
But, my plan backfired when the song Still Into You by Paramore started playing.
Why? Why does the world hate me so much?
I sighed and quickly switched the station.
And it backfired again because Red by Taylor Swift started playing.
"Why does the world hate me so much?" I asked out loud, groaning.
Tyler cleared his throat and fumbled over the radio.
The radio must hate us so much that it played Amnesia by 5 Seconds of Summer at that exact moment.
Tyler groaned and just turned off the radio.
"You know--"
"Stop before you start rambling. Again."
Although, his rambling was adorable, it's annoying at the same time.
Did I just...
Maybe I still do have feelings for him. Or maybe not.
When I stopped at a red light, I looked at the guy in the car with me who was playing with his tongue, looking in the mirror. I guess he noticed me staring because he looked at me and immediately placed his tongue back in his mouth and cleared his throat as he leaned back on his chair. His face flushed a dark shade of red.
I raised my eyebrows at him before turning back to the road.
What an idiot.
He was my idiot once and forever will be.

That last sentence was so cheesy. Oh my gosh, I'm turning into those cheesy writers.
Sorry for the late update though, I was busy writing my other story.
