One Winter ↠ A MunchingBrotato Fanfiction (Sequel to One Summer)

Chapter 9 - Temporary

Brielle's POV

I wake up with arms wrapped around my waist, and I sigh of relief. "It's not a dream...thank god."I smile and lightly lift Tyler's arms off of me and stood up on my bed and began jumping.

"TYLER WAKE UP! MAKE ME FOOD!" I jump and yell as I hear him groan and put the pillow over his head.

"I'M HUNGRY!" I yell again and continue jumping until Tyler suddenly grabs my feet and I fall on the bed screaming.

"You are such a jerk." I take the pillow off of his head and hit him with it.

"You're the jerk for waking me up." Tyler says as he sits up stretching and smiling at me. "Hello gorgeous." He says as he wraps his arm around my waist gently.

I roll my eyes. "Yeah at 10AM? Bullshit, I look like a mess."

"Well you look like a beautiful mess then. Just take my compliment." He kisses my cheek and I smile. "I'll go make us some breakfast." He grins and I laugh at his goofy smile as he stands up and walks downstairs.

"He's so freaking cute..." I mumble to myself. "In a 'I want to fuck the hell out of you' kind of way." I laugh and go downstairs to help make breakfast.

The doorbell rings and I walk over to answer it to see Jerry, our manager.

"Hey Jerry! Come inside, it's pretty chilly today." I shiver and Jerry enters the house as I close the door and Tyler walks towards me.

"You know Tyler, the rest are away."

"Yeah, hello Tyler." Jerry smiles and Tyler nods in return. "Listen Brielle I gotta tell you something."

"What is it?"

"I talked to Derrick, who is Last Night's Mistake's manager and we saw an increase of listeners in both bands after tabloids came out of rumored relations between you and Ben. I need to ask you something, are those rumors true?"

I sigh. I contemplated on fibbing to Jerry but I felt as if I could trust him with this secret I've been hiding. "I slept with him at his band's recent party to celebrate their tour."

Jerry looks at Tyler and back to me. "Are you guys together?"

"Uh..." I begin to say until look at Tyler and he shrugs. "...not really I suppose why?"

"Do you have relations with Ben?"

"No, we are just friends, Jerry what is this about?"

Jerry sighs and looks at me then Tyler again. "Derrick and I think...for the sake of the tour and to gain some popularity that you and Ben be in a romantic relationship for the public."

I look at him in shock. "You're kidding...right?"

"It's in the interest of the bands and tour, and afterwards we can make up some sad story about how you both wanted to focus on music and such then in a few months you and Tyler can come back out as a couple."

I look at Tyler and he looks heartbroken, which is heartbreaking for me.

"I...I don't think that's the best idea Jerry." I give him a sad look and he sighs.

"It's only temporary."

I nod and realize it. "You are only saying this because you or Derrick already told the tabloids. Didn't you?"

Jerry sighs in return. "It was Derrick. I told him to wait until I talked to you but he just released this info. I'm so sorry Brielle, but if you say it's a lie the popularity of the tour could decrease and so could the fanbase. I promise you after the tour I will make up something to break it off."

"You promise?"

"Yes."

"Do you really promise? It needs to be a solid story."

"I swear on my life that once the tour ends you and Ben won't be no more."

I nod. "Alright, I'll do it." I can feel Tyler's heart shatter as mine was temporarily held captive by Ben.

"Okay, once Ben gets back home there is going to have to be dates and public outings. We have to make it believable."

I nod and Jerry smiles sympathetically. "Alright I better get going." Jerry says as he walks towards the door and leaves the house.

"Tyler-"

"Breakfast is done if you want it." He turns away from me and walks upstairs.

Brielle's POV

I sat by my desk which contained songs that I've written and been working on. I finally got the courage to stand up and walk into Tyler's room to talk about this situation. I open the door to see him sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Tyler please talk to me." I beg him and he sighs.

"There's nothing to say Elle. I can't really change it. What's done is done."

I walk and sit on the bed beside him. "Trust me, I don't want to do this either."

"I really can't tell if you are telling the truth Elle." He stands up and faces me. "I mean, you did sleep with the guy. He is literally a clone of you, and you can Ben have more common interests than me and you. For god's sake he gave you that fucking diamond necklace, in which you are still wearing."

I look down to see the necklace still around my neck. "It's only for popularity."

"You've been wearing it since he gave it to you."

"He's a friend Tyler..." I trail off.

"Well for the public you guys are definitely more than friends. How do I know that you aren't hooking up with him when you go on these fake dates? What if they aren't fake?"

I felt like crying because I heard the heartbreak in his voice, and all I wanted was to take it and fix it, which was exactly what I was going to do.

I stand up and put my hands on his shoulders as his hands grab my hips. I press my lips to his slowly and gently for a second until it got more forceful and I knew exactly where this was going to lead.

I pull away from his lips and take off Ben's necklace. "I promise you Tyler. No other guy is going to come and steal me away from you. You have my real heart, Ben has this copy of it that is fake. And I have your heart. In the end, it's you who is going to be pressed up against me as I fall asleep at night. It's going to be you who will get the kisses with passion and the make out cuddles on the couch as we watch movies until we inevitably fall asleep before the movie ends. And once the tour is over, the break up will come out and we will be able to live our lives together."

Tyler smiles and presses his lips gently against mine, the best kind of kisses in my opinion.

"I love you." I whisper to him, and realizing what I said I panic. My guard is so high that I never say those words often.

"I love you more Elle." He whispers back.

I never believed in the saying that dreams come true.

Well, I guess I was wrong.
