With You, I'm Alive (BoyxBoy)

The Five Of Us. (1/3)

Tyler's P.O.V

James has a date to go with to the concert. That leaves me and Alex.
Alone. Together.

I didn't have a problem with it. He's kind of awkward but kind of attractive at the same time, you feel?
He's very awkward around me and he shows discomfort. I know he can't help it, I just hope he isn't afraid of me.
People at school are intimidated by me, I didn't want it to be the same with him. I , mean, he's my brothers friend.

"He you found anyone to go with yet?" James said looking directly at me.
I already know where he's taking this...

"Yeah, I'm going with you guys." I said laughing and giving him the look.

You little fucker, don't you do it.

"Yeah... Like a date?"he said elbowing me.

He did it.
I tell him his friend is kind of cute and he already wants us to Netflix and chill.

Does he think he think I'm lonely? I have hella friends and so many chicks would kill to be by me.Unfortunately I like to stay aids free and my type isn't thot.

"Hey, how about you two go together? Like as a friend or whatever you want. Or like as an actual date or like I said, whatever you want. The point is Alex is your plus one."

I hate you so much right now dude...

James words queued the blushing.

" hey how about you two go together. Like as friends or whatever you want...or like as an actual date or like I said, whatever you want.the point is Alex is your plus one."
He says doing the that thing he does with his eyebrows.

I looked at Alex and he was completely still and his face was pink.
I think we should go as friends because he might feel uncomfortable.
"He'll be my plus one, but you're probably gonna have to pay for Juliet's ticket."

"Oh, that won't be a problem.." He says grinning wide.

Alex was still a bit awkward even though I tried to ease things out.
"Um. My foster parents said that max and I need to go home.... Max has a dentist appointment tomorrow and they don't want him to be so tired." He said very lowly while looking at the ground.
Things are so tense. It's kinda like when you get the goosebumps, except they never go away.
"I'll go get max, he's probably playing without me." I said laughing still trying to ease the roughness James tends to throw on us.
I made a small jog to my room only to find max was out. He was snoring so loud and his head was buried into my pillow.
"Psst, max." I whispered.
He groans.
"Please don't hurt me" he says.
His eyes were closed tight as if he was afraid. Was he afraid of me?
"Max, time for you and Alex to go home now. You have to get up."
I placed my hand on his arm. Then, suddenly he let out a sharp loud scream.
His eyes fluttered open , he got up with red eyes and a terrified face.
I've never seen such sadness in someone's eyes like I did in his. He seem to carry a deep pain, the kind that makes your chest hurt and brings silence.
"I'm sorry.." I said while internally panicking.
The was a silence as he looked at his surroundings trying to figure out where he was.
"Um ... Where's Alex ?" He said in a scared voice. He was tired and terrified, those two don't mix well.
Suddenly a voice came from behind me, it was Alex.
"I'm right here.. It's time to go home. Gina won't let me take you anywhere anymore if I bring you back late." He said in a calm voice.
All of the sudden the air seemed different, as if Alex demolished all of the tension . I looked at max to find him calmer. Alex's voice is magic.
Max quickly got off of my bed, and made an apology for even falling asleep. He was a good kid, I like him. I don't even like kids and he was the only exception I've made.

We all got In my truck and just as last time, Alex was quiet and awkward. I found it cute that I made him shift uncomfortably, it was kind of amusing. I wonder what he thinks about me in all honesty. He probably doesn't think at all about me, we just have common takes in music. I'm a friend .
When we pulled up their house, Alex let max make his way in to their house , he just waited for max to go inside . At this point , I thought he was gonna apologize for max.
We spoke at the same time.
"Umm.. I uh. I wanted to talk to you abou-" he said sitting in the Passenger seat of my truck.
"No worries." I said then smiled.
He looked confused. Very confused.
"Wait , what was that? I'm sorry for interrupting ." I said sincerely.
"Um , he plus one thing. You don't have to have me as your plus one. If it makes you um.. Uncomfortable. Or something...."
" the ticket is all yours. That is unless you change your mind.."

"No I, I just wanted to see how you felt about it but .... Thank you for everything and and give James my thanks as well. He deserves it."

"Anytime and definitely. Have a goodnight " I said in a better mood.
"You too, drive safe."

I waited till he got inside then drove away.

i got a call and bluetoothed it to my truck. it was liv, or olivia.

"what's good liv?"

"nothing much, just wanted to see if you were planning to go to that PTV concert up in reno."

"hell yeah i am. when have i ever missed their nearby shows?" said laughing.

"i was hoping you'd say yes.. you see-"

"wanna come?"..she wants to come.

"well guess if youre inviting me.. why not?"

I knew it.

"Alright, ill just pick up another ticket from Redd."

"Redd is out stock, i checked already."
" Alright, I'll just check online."

" They're like $43, i checked there too."she said laughing with her high pitched laughter.
" Okay, I'll order some tomorrow ." I said casually.
"Are you sure? I can't make you do that." She said worriedly.
" it's just money liv, don't sweat it ." I said lightly.
"Okay.. Thanks Ty , you're the best!" She said excitedly.
"Anytime."
"I have to go, toodles and love you Ty boo."
"Goodnight Olivia." I said before hanging up.
She was really... Something else.
I guess it'll be the five of us.
