CLAY TOLD MADDIE to meet him at the school. He claimed he had spoke with Mr. Porter at Monet's and they both needed to talk to Tyler. He didn't tell Maddie why, but she had a gut feeling that it wasn't good. Especially based on what Porter told her yesterday by the vending machine and the things she pieced together in her head.
She'd gave Porter's words a lot of thought after she left him. She'd recounted all the times Tyler has supposedly acted different. The first day back at school, when Monty approached them and basically any other time Tyler was in his presence. The day in HO when Casey yelled at him for being an ally and the way he quivered and pulled his bag up to his chest.
Maddie thought she had connected the dots, but she couldn't stomach it. She needed some sort of confirmation.
"I just told them the truth," Tyler tells the siblings. "I mean, not the whole truth, but the truth. That... you're a good person."
Clay nods. "Thanks, Tyler."
"Yeah."
Maddie looks at Clay, both of them silently telling each other the same thing. Talk to him.
Supposedly, this is where Maddie was supposed to come in.
"How about you, Tyler? How are you doing?" Maddie asks gently, stepping barely an inch closer to Tyler. She didn't want to freak him out. If her suspicions were true, she couldn't imagine bottling something like this in. Well, she could to some extent.
"Pretty much, yeah. Why?"
"We're, uhm... we're both sorry that we haven't been around much." Maddie tells him. "And I'm sorry I was such a bitch last year... still kinda am."
"You guys have stuff going on, so..." Tyler tells them. "And I never thought you were that mean. You were really the only person who was decently nice to me."
Maddie offers him a light hearted smile, although it made her heart warm that he felt like that. She looks down at her feet and then to Clay, silently asking him how they should go about the topic. "Tyler... did Monty do something to you?" Clay asks.
Maddie looks at Tyler and sees his whole body stiffen. Then, her stomach drops down to her ass.
"What? What... What do you mean?" Tyler stammers nervously.
"I think..." Clay starts. "We think you've been through something you haven't told anyone. Maybe last spring?"
Tyler's eyes water and his lip quivers, clearly attempting to hold back his tears. Maddie's heart hurt in so many different ways, and she could feel her own eyes start to get misty. "No. No. I mean, not... not really. Who have you been talking to?"
