Stockholm Syndrome

28. Tyler tells Lexy

Brandon's P.O.V

Anna was on her phone and saying something, but I wasn't paying attention.

"You okay baby?" She asked me.

I looked at her and smiled. "Yeah...it's just Tyler seemed a bit quiet and gloomy."

"He's probably sick." She said.

I nodded. I hope he's ok. He's been my best friend since middle school. It was 7 PM. I stood up.

"I guess I should start on dinner." I said.

"I can help you!" She said standing up as well.

I smiled and kissed her. "Thanks, baby."

She smiled.

I took her hand and walked downstairs.

Alexis' P.O.V

I was still worried about Ty. He's really quiet. I decided to go and talk to him. Luke took a cat nap, so I walked into Ty's room.

"Hey." I said smiling.

"Hey." He said.

I said down on his bed. "Are you ok?"
"Lexy, I already told you. I'm fine. I'm just catching a cold." He said.

"But, you look so sad. Is something bothering you?" I asked.

He shook his head.

"Please Ty? You can trust me." I said.

He sighed and looked at the ground. "Alexis...I'm...gay."

My eyes grew wide. "What?"

He nodded. "Ever since middle school. The reason why I was so upset was because Brandon got a girlfriend. I love Brandon, and it hurts me to see that he doesn't feel the same."

"Why don't you tell him your feelings?" I asked.

"Hmm I don't know. Maybe because he has a girlfriend!" He said.

"Stop with the sarcasm, Ty." I said.

He sighed. "Sorry. I'm just afraid. I can tell he loves Anna. I don't want Anna to be broken, and if I tell him, and he doesn't feel the same, everything will be ruined. Our friendship, our partnership, everything."

"Tyler, if you have feelings for Brandon, you're gonna have to tell him one way or another." I said.

"I need time." He said.

I ruffled his hair. "Good luck." I stood up and walked to the door.

"Oh and Alexis?" He said stopping me.

I turned around. "Yeah?"

"Please don't tell anyone about this." He said.

I smiled. "I promise.

I walked out of his room and walked back into Luke's room. He fluttered his eyes open, revealing his blue eyes. I smiled and walked over to him and kissed him softly on the lips. He smiled and sat up.

"Good morning prince charming." I said sitting next to him.

He looked at me and gave me that 'are you serious?' look.

I laughed and ruffled his hair. "I love you."
He hates when I do that, so he fixed his hair. "You know I hate when you do that."

I laughed. "That's why I do it."

He rolled his eyes playfully. "What time is it?"

"About 7:30." I said.

"I'm hungry." He said.

"Me too, let's go see if Brandon's cooking dinner." I said standing up and putting my hand out.

He took my hand and we walked downstairs and saw Brandon and Anna laughing and cooking. They do look happy...poor Tyler...

"Hey guys!" Brandon said.

Anna turned around. "Oh hey!"

"What went on in here?" Luke asked looking around in the kitchen.

They both laughed.

"Food fight." Anna said.

"Yeah, and you're picking this up!" Brandon said.

"What? Why? You caused this too!" She said.

"You started it!" He said sticking his tongue out.

"Okay guys guys guys! Chill!" I said.

They laughed and Brandon continued cooking. We sat down at the table. Soon, Ty and Dylan joined us. Olivia and Cody came downstairs, both their hair messed up.

"Uh...Cody? Olivia?" I said.

"Yeah?" They said sitting down.

"Why is your hair messed up?" Luke asked for me.

Olivia blushed.

Cody shrugged. "Bad hair day."

I laughed and Luke and I both gave each other that look that we know they did...bang bang.

After dinner, it was 9. I walked upstairs and got my pajamas on. We both brushed our teeth, and we were out by 9:15. I feel really bad for Tyler, though. I didn't know he was gay. What sucks is that he's in love with his best friend.

Brandon's P.O.V

I went to check on Ty and see what's up. I knocked on his door and he answered.

"Hey bro." I said smiling.

"Hey." He said.

I walked in his room and shut the door. "Are you ok?"

Tears filled his eyes and he shook his head. Before I could say anything, he hugged me. I hugged him back.

"Tyler what's wrong?" I asked.

"I-I c-can't t-tell y-you." He sobbed and holding onto my sleeve.

"Why? We've been best friends since middle school." I said.

He pulled away and wiped his tears. "I can't tell you, Brandon."

"Why?!" I said raising my voice.

"Because!" He said pushing me out of his room. I heard him lock it and he sobbed more. I sighed and walked back into mine and Anna's room. I brushed my teeth, and she was in bed on her phone. I turned off the light and wrapped my arms around her. She turned off her phone and kissed me.

"Night, baby. I love you." She said.

"I love you too." I said.
