Guns for Hands

My People Singing

I woke up the next morning in Steven's arms. What Tyler referred to me as, Mrs. Ericsson haunt me. Steven and I had roughly mentioned the idea of marriage but I never thought that would plausible. Steven was my boyfriend but we were very different. I got out of bed trying not wake Steven up and made my way down to the kitchen. I was letting Steven stay the night. Megan was down there looking frantic as ever.

"Don't be angry with me Lynn." Megan said. "But I agreed to get back together with Josh."

"Whatever makes you happy, Meg." I said. I truly was happy for Megan, she's one of my best friends so how could I not be happy for her. Later that night I got a text from Steven.

STEVEN: Hey Linn do you want to go out tonight?
LYNN: I'd love to Steven and how many times do I have to tell my name is Lynn with a Y and not an I.
STEVEN: I spell it that way Linn, because you are definitely mIne.
LYNN: That's cheesy 😝
STEVEN: Pick you up at 7.

I sighed Tyler never called me Linn like that it doesn't even look like that could be my name. I mean my name is Lynn. No doubt. I did a heavy sigh and decided to go talk to Megan some more in the kitchen but of course Josh was coming over because that was the type of boyfriend he was. The good kind.

Megan answered the door. "Hi Jishwa!"

"It's Spooky Jim." He corrected her with a wink. "Hey Nerd!" He called over to me.

"What is it Spooky Jim?" I asked.

"Tyler wants to talk to you." He said.

"Oh." My face fell. "What time?"

"Now, would be a good time for him." Josh said. I went to the bathroom to go and get ready for my meeting with Tyler after the wedding...great.

I went to the bathroom and flatiron my blue hair and wore a white knit sweater with black skinny jeans and orange Converse and did my makeup like normally. I decided that I should wear a white beanie and I looked at myself in the mirror thinking how I really looked nice compared to the other days.

I walked out to see Megan and Josh snuggling on the couch my heart felt great for them, I've never seen Josh look at someone like that before. At that moment I knew Josh and Megan were going to get married I was happen for my best friend and brother. The three of decided to go out around town. I took Megan and Josh too my studio Josh hasn't seen before.

The Smile Bright Photography offices had white canvas at one end of the wall and on one wall there was a plain white wall with several signatures on it from the musicians I have shot photos of here. There was probably have a dozen there. Josh thought that was impressive he noticed that Brendon Urie had signed the wall.

"Hey I know him!" He joked. Megan and I laughed at his lame joke. I grabbed my phone and checked the time.

"I have to go meet Tyler." I said. "I'm trusting you two to make sure everything goes smoothly here. Steven should be here soon." I jumped in my car and headed to the park. I saw Tyler he smiled brightly at me.

"Lynn, why are you with that Steve guy?" He asked.

"You mean, Steven." I said. "I'm happy with him, Tyler."

He looked at me with his sad brown eyes. "Are you really, Lyndsey? Are you really?"

"I am Tyler!" I said. "I really am!" The next thing he did was quite shocking, he kissed me. He. Kissed. Me. I pushed away.

"Tyler stop!" I said.

He gave me a sad look. "I thought you would feel the same way, Lynley." Lynley Tyler's special nickname for I hadn't heard that in a long time. I couldn't believe he called me Lynley.

"Ty." I said, my heart just melted...crap. Tyler knew that to as soon as the name Ty just escaped my mouth he knew I was basically paddy in his hands.

"What's that, Lynn?" He flirted. "Did you just call me Ty?"

I blushed and looked away, "No...maybe."

"Lynn, if you aren't happy with that Steve guy than comeback to me." He said. "I'll never stop loving you Lyndsey Annalise Dun."

I'll never stop loving you Lyndsey Annalise Dun.

"Ty," I began. "I love you too...but I can't."

"Why's that Lynley?" Tyler was meet inches away from my face. "Why?"

"LYNDSEY!" I heard some yell I turned my head to see Steven standing at the other side of the walkway.

"Steven," I ran over to him. I heard Tyler sigh. "It's not what it looks like, baby. You've got to believe me."

"Lyndsey, it looks like you were about to kiss Tyler Joseph from twenty one pilots!" Steven yelled.

I bit my lip, "Lyndsey, just tell him the truth." Tyler said.

I turned back to Steven, "Baby?" Steven said. I couldn't believe this was happening I had to get away from here I knew I had to get out of here but how I could I? I sighed and pushed past Steven and ran to my car so I could get back to Smile Bright Photography...stupid name why did I choose that? I needed talk to Josh and Megan.

Josh and Megan could tell I was crying and Megan ran over to me and gave me a hug. "What happened with Tyler?" I explained that Tyler and I almost kissed and that Steven showed up and there was a big ordeal. My phone buzzed. It was from Steven.

STEVEN: So I guess are dates off.

I didn't respond. "How do you feel around Tyler?" Megan asked.

"It felt but I can't be with him, Megan, you know why." I said. Megan sighed.

"You should be able to be with him." Josh spoke up. "Follow you're heart Lil Sis."

LYNN: Sorry, Steven, but something's come up and I can't be with you anymore...our relationships...done. Sorry for waisting your time.

I knew sending Steven that text was the right thing to do.
