Hurting Inside and Protecting

Chapter 1

Lance walked silently down the side walk on his way to Brittney's. He would drive his car if he didn't break it. He didn't mean to crash it.. again. All he was doing was rocking out to Black Veil Brides. One of his all time favroite bands. 

One of his younger brother, Tyson's friends Buffy Summers loves BVB and loves Andy Biersack the lead singer. Another one of his friend's Darcy Zero likes them too. 

The wind blew in Lance's blonde hair. He ran a hand through it and continued walking. It was to long until he came to Kellen Street. The street Brittney lives on. He hurried and came to the first second story house. 

Lance knocked on the door and Brittney's mother opened the door. "Hey Mrs. Nelson." Lance said, looking up into Mrs. Nelson's soft brown eyes. 

"Hello Lance. Come on in. Brittney will be down in a minute." Mrs. Nelson said kindly. Lance smiled and walked in and stood quietly by the kitchen door. 

"Lance, what are you guys planning on doing tonight?" She asked gently, looking over to Lance before going into the kitchen and returning with a can of pop. Pepsi. His favorite.

"Well. I am going to take her to this place called the Rift. It's not far from here. It's a dance place and has free dinner there everynight. Only five dollars a ticket. We're going to meet up with my brother and his friends." Lance stated. He opened the can and quickly took a drink of it. Mrs. Nelson nodded her head.

A minute later Brittney came down the stairs. Lance stared at her in awe. Her perfect blonde hair layed flowingly on her shoulders, her soft brown eyes glowing with the light touch of make up. A light blue tank top firmly held to her torso showing a little bit of her stomach. She had a light pink jacket over the tank top and a light blue skirt on her hips. Her flats were a sparkling light pink.

"Hey babe." Brittney said, walking over and giving Lance a gentle kiss on the lips. Lance kissed back. Mrs. Nelson smiled and left the room. 

"Hey Brit. Don't you look wonderful." He stated. Brittney smiled, she pulled out her iPhone and sent a quick text message to Darcy. "C'mon better go.. it's about to open. Bye Mom! Love you!" She said quickly before the two walked out the door. Lance heard Mrs. Nelson say a quick bye and love you as they left. 

Brittney slipped her hand into Lance's and he held on tightly. He looked down at their hands and her finger nails were a green color. He smiled as she laid her head gently on his shoulder. 

After ten minutes, they arrived at the Rift. They could both hear the music beating against the walls. By the doors stood Tyson. He was standing beside Darcy, Buffy, Allison Summers (Buffy's twin sister), Marina Hale, Declan Zero, Chris Daniels, Nicole Boyer, Joey Parker, and Louis Wilkins. 

Lance and Brittney walked over and the others turned to face them. Well other then Darcy, Marina, and Chris who were all deep in conversation. From what Lance could hear it was about One Direction. Darcy and Marina's favorite band. 

"Ready to go in guys?" Tyson asked as Louis went and put an arm around Darcy. Yes, Louis and Darcy are indeed dating.

"Let's go!" Darcy yelled with a laugh. One by one each of them paid and made their way inside. Darcy immediately dragged Louis to the dancefloor while Buffy and Allison went to go to the bar. The others got a table and got ready to eat. Everyone already knew everyone elses favorite foods so its no use to call the others over.

Lance pulled a chair out for Brittney and she took it. She muttered a thank you and entered a conversation with Nicole. Lance turned his head and looked at his brother. Tyson was staring off into space. "Ty? You ok?" Lance questioned looking at his brother. Tyson ran a hand through his styled light brown hair. Tyson looked over with his amber eyes. 

Lance got up and signaled for Tyson to follow. They went to another bar and sat down. "What's on your mind. You never give me that look unless there's something." Lance said, pulling out his wallet. He bought two drinks and passed one to Tyson.

"Well.. I...umm..kinda...well.. uh..." Tyson mumered. The words not wanting to come out. "Ty, you can tell me anything. I won't laugh." 

"Promise?" Tyson mumbled, Lance stuck out his pinky finger and clearly stated, "Promise." Tyson rubbed the back of his head and looked up at Lance.

"Well.. I kinda like J-Joey.. like I mean like like..." Tyson whispered. Lance shook his head with a slight chuckle. Tyson looked at Lance with a taken back expression.

"I knew it. I knew you like some guy. Joey, I figured." Lance stated, patting Tyson on the back. Tyson smiled weakly and they walked back to the table. Buffy and Allison had come back and Darcy and Louis were making their way back.

"Where did you guys go?" Declan asked as they arrived back at the table. Tyson looked over to Lance and Lance looked back before looking to Declan. "Sorry. I needed to talk to Ty alone was all." Lance stated. Declan nodded his head before looking back to Marina. 

Marina's blonde hair had a layer of black under it. Her blue eyes defined with eye liner. She was wearing a white dress that went perfect against her skin. 

Not to long after Lance and Tyson sat back down their food came. They all ate along with laughter and stories. After eating they danced for a while before deciding to leave. Lance took Brittney home while Declan, Darcy, Marina, and Louis went to the Zero household, Buffy and Allison going with Chris and Nicole. Tyson was left with Joey.

-With Tyson and Joey-

Tyson leaned against the wall. He ran a hand through his hair. Joey was standing silently a couple of feet away. "Ty.. I kinda heard what you said to Lance earlier.." Joey said, breaking the silence. 

Tyson's breath hitched. He didn't want Joey to know about his crush on him. It would ruin their friendship. Anyway Joey was straight.

"O-Oh.." Tyson stuttered. He looked away from Joey. Joey's blue eyes stared at Tyson. "Tyson. Don't be ashamed.. cause I actually like you too. Anyway.. I'm not straight. I anything but straight." Joey stated, he walked over to Tyson and placed a finger under the shorter boy's chin. He forced him to look him in the eyes. 

"Tyson Ashton. I love you ok. I always have." Joey stated boldly. He looked into Tyson's eyes. Tyson had love shining in them. Joey slowly leaned down and connected their lips. Tyson was taken back. He felt Joey place his hands on his hips. Tyson closed his eyes and kissed back, he wrapped his arms softly around Joey's neck.

They broke apart and both breathed heavily. "I..love you too." Tyson whispered. Joey smiled. They began to walk in the direction of Tyson's house. Joey grabbed a hold of Tyson's hand and held on. 

"Ty, will you be my boyfriend?" Joey asked. He looked hopefully at Tyson. Tyson smiled and nodded. "Yes. I will be your boyfriend Joey." He replied. 

"Good, cause I don't take no for an awnser." Joey added. He wrapped his arm around Tyson's shoulders and brought him close.
