KADE POV

i wake up feeling refreshed.  I look outside to see its morning.

Did I sleep through the night? I don't usually?

Then it hits me...
Oh shit.

I remember him yelling at me and then all i could think about was...

He comforted me...

Fuck i should really apologize to Tyler.

I check my phone to see its past 9am

Usually someone comes to get me for breakfast by now.

I look around the room and finally take notice that nobody is in here

I get out of bed and make my way downstairs, wondering where everyone is. In the kitchen there's hushed whispers until the last stair creaks

Damn it

I head towards the kitchen and everyone stops and stares at me looking concerned.

I understand why Tyler is looking at me like that

But the rest of them?

I expected Tyler to be the first to cut through the silence but its Cam who does so

"Good morning Kade"

The simple gesture made me want to smile but I push it down when I remember who's talking to me. The only thing I can do is shyly look away from the table. My eyes dark to the floor and my fingers start to itch with anxiety. I can't look at them without feeling embarrassed.

From seeing them in the positions that I still can't get out of my head
And i'm pretty sure i've pieced together why everyone might be looking at me like that

I can feel him staring at me waiting on an answer but all i can do is mumble a
"M-morning"
Under my breath. I'm not sure if they heard it but i don't doubt they did hear it considering the kitchen is still deadly quiet.

I shuffle back and forth with my head down like a kid that knows they're in trouble

"Can I talk t-to you T-Tyler?"

Tyler stands up quickly
"Of course kiddo. Follow me to my office"
I tense up at the thought of his office but still follow me.
"After you"
He says while opening the door for me to walk in. I hesitate but i walk into his office

But i dont sit

He makes his way inside and doesn't shut his door, which I silently thank him for.

He tries to start the conversation but I interrupted

"Im really sorry about yesterday"

There was a pause followed by a sigh

"Its okay kid. You couldn't control how you reacted. I shouldn't have even yelled at you in the first place.

I should be the one apologizing"

My anxiety comes to a halt.

Him? Apologize? Why?

"What for?" I timidly ask

Even though i'm still standing, he takes a seat. Making him look a lot smaller than he is.

"I shouldn't have yelled at you at all. I'm usually this calm person but-

Have I ever told you about my sister?"

He asks and my brain fizzles with a familiar emotion.
Confusion

What does she have to do with this?
