Just Get Jealous ( H2OWildcat )

Chapter Nine

Tyler had awoken giddy the next morning, searching for Nogla to tell him the news. Tyler was aware that Jonathan was still together with Evan, but Jonathan thought that he and Nogla were still together, so it played out fair.

"Nogla," Tyler shouted once he found the tall Irishman.

"Oh, good morning, Tyler." He smiled. "Do you need anything?"

"I wanted to talk to you." Tyler scanned over the group. "Alone."

There was a whistle from one of the boys outside of the conversation, but Tyler ignored it and tugged Nogla to an enclosed room and shut the door. He exhaled before saying, "Jonathan and I kissed."

Nogla squealed. "Oh, I'm so happy for you!"

'Yeah." He smiled shyly. "How about you and Lui?"

Nogla's expression dropped. "We were going about to - or at least I was - but he pulled away."

"Oh.." Tyler rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

"Nah, it's fine. I would have asked, too." Nogla smiled. "Did Jonathan break up with Evan or something?"

"Yeah, he is..." Tyler answered uneasily. "But he thinks we're together, too."

"You should really tell them, Tyler," Nogla said, mentioning to the rest of the crew. "Especially Jonathan now."

"Yeah."

Nogla sighed. "Come on; Let's go back out."

When they came back down, Marcel was the first to notice and gave a big smile. Jonathan had came downstairs now, also offering a smile, but only to Jonathan.

"What were you two doing in there?" Marcel asked, mischievously smiling.

"Making out, probably," Luke added.

"Make out in front of us next time," Craig added. "All we see these days is Evan and Jonathan sucking face."

"Oooh, good idea," Brock chimed in. "Kiss him now."

Each boy outside of Nogla, Evan, Tyler and Jonathan began to chant, teasingly.

Nogla sent Tyler a glare, knowing that it was time to tell them. "Yeah, Tyler," he pushed. "Why don't ye?"

In a matter of seconds, feeling as if there was nothing else to do, he grabbed Nogla's arms and pushed their lips together, surprising each being in the room, including Nogla.

Two screeches of chairs had quickly ended the kiss, and looking back, it showed that Jonathan and Lui had both quickly stood up from their chairs. They shared eye contact for a moment before they both turned away and left the room.

"Lui..." Nogla began to chase him, but was stopped by Brock's hand.

"We should leave them alone for a second," Brock said. "I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I can tell they want to be alone."

Nogla planned to protest but went against it, knowing that Brock was right. Instead, he turned back to Tyler and glared. "Tyler and I are going to talk outside."

Tyler slowly followed in silence, guilt weighing heavy.

When the door was shut, Nogla instantly began talking.

"What did you do that for?!" Tyler remained silent, not even sure himself. "You told them we were dating and then you kiss me in front of all them. Even Lui and - -"

"Nogla," a voice said behind them, shaken. Nogla and Tyler turned, now seeing Berniece, Nogla's girlfriend.

"Oh, for fuck's sake!" Nogla groaned.

"Do you want to tell me something, Nogla?" She crossed her arms, trying to ignore his previous comment.

Nogla sighed. "Berniece, let me explain - -"

"Explain WHAT?!" She had begun to yell, tears forming. "That you don't love me anymore?"

"YES!" Of course Nogla felt horrible and didn't want to add to it, but it had to be done; all of it. "And I don't love Tyler either, before you ask."

Berniece shifted and looked away. "Then... Then why?"

"We... This is going to sound really bad, but listen to all of it. Alright?"

Tyler looked down to the ground in guilt; this was basically all his fault.

"Tyler and I pretended to date each other." Nogla fronted his teeth. "To make the people we actually like jealous... Didn't work. Instead, we ruined our friendship." He shook his head. "So yippy-kaye!"

Nogla was pissed, and, honestly, Tyler was scared; scared because he never saw Nogla like this.

Berniece was biting her lip, tears streaming down quickly.

"Look, Berniece." With the little might he had left, Tyler stepped in. "I know you're upset and hate me right now, but just think about Nogla; he made you happy all this time. Do you really think it's fair to just keep him like that?" Tyler looked back to Nogla. "He has been with you all this time and I think you'll even agree that he deserves his own happiness, right?"

Tyler knew he was being uncharacteristic, and he didn't really like being so, but Nogla was a friend; he would change for that."

Berniece didn't answer.

The silence was heavy and uncomfortable and Tyler took a step back just in case Berniece wanted to put up a fight. But, she had only nodded.

"You're right," she said. "You're right... If I liked someone else, I don't wouldn't want to be with Nogla."

Nogla let out a relieved sigh. "Thank you, Berniece." He smiled. "Thank you so damn much."

They both went in for a final, long hug. It lasted a full minute and pulled away slowly, sharing a smile.

"What are you doing here, anyways?"

"I, uh, came down to check on you guys... None of you guys were texting me back."

"Oh..."

"It's fine, though. It really is." She smiled truly. "I wish you guys well. I really hope this works out in the end."

Nogla and Tyler gave a smile back to her.

But, any conversation has to end. They spent a good five minutes talking before she had to leave, giving another hug. Then, she was gone."

Tyler sighed once she drove off and rubbed his face. "God, I am so sorry, Nogla. I honestly don't know why I kisses you. I pretty much ruined everything, right?"

"Hey, you didn't ruin anything, Tyler. If anything, you helped. If you didn't, then we wouldn't have been able to talk with Berniece. So, thank you."

Tyler looked to him and smiled. This fucker.

"I think it's time to tell them now, though." Tyler groaned. "Yes."

"Fine." He inhaled. "Good luck with Lui."

Nogla smiled. "Good luck with Jonathan."
