Chapter 2: Baby Boy
This chapter is reaaaally slow. Forgive me?
P.S if you skip it, you will be confused. o.x
--------------
"What's going on?" I asked them curiously.
"Ty has..." - "...Nothing," They said at the same time.
"Spill the beans." I said eyeing them both.
"You aren't going to like this." Ty said sheepishly.
"I don't need to. Now please tell me, friends don't keep secrets."
"I..." He looked at Oliver silently hoping he'd get him out of this mess. When Oli didn't cover for him he faced me. "I-I uhm. Mari?"
"Yes, Ty?" I sighed.
"I like you." He rubbed the back of his neck. "More than just a friend. In fact, I sorta love you?"
"It's a first." Oliver said breathlessly. "My baby boy is growing up. His first love!" He said wiping false tears from his eyes.
I was speechless. How, when, and why?
"Tyler Mark Jameson. Take... Take it back, tell me you're joking." I said panicking. This can not be happening. I did everything I could to ensure it wouldn't! I'm so different now... how could a guy still like me?
"I...can't. Can we forget this happened and just hang?" Ty said staring at the ground.
I wish I could but... I couldn't.
"Ty I can't. I think it's best for you to go." I said sitting on my bed.
"Yeah, okay." He said grabbing his shoes and quickly leaving.
"Marianne?"
"Yes?" I responded turning to face Oliver.
"It's alright. It's a feeling he can't help. You're a lovable person. I love you! Just as a friend, but I do." He sat down next to me on my bed and gave me a comforting hug.
But being the boyish gal I am, I gently pulled myself out of his comforting hug. Can't get too close.
"Thanks Oiyler.(Oliver+Tylers ship name.)"
"You can't say that unless Ty is here." He said with a half-hearted laugh. "What's going to happen between us all? Do you like Ty as well?"
"No, I like him only as a friend. You too. I couldn't see myself as anything but friends. Besides, I like someone else." I told him truthfully.
"My holy crispy chicken and rice, lady! Who?" I laughed at his use of Kaylee's phrase.
"...Daniel Cayenne. I... I don't know. I like him but I don't." I could feel Oliver's disapproval.
"Huh, Daniel? He's... nice. I think you'd do well with him." Wow, approval. "But," Nevermind. "You'd do better with Ty."
"And on that note, bye Oli." I said getting up and pulling him out of my dorm room.
I locked the door and snuggled up into my bed. This has been a long day.
-----------------
Since this chapter was slow I made it short!
Really early drama, I iz sorreh. Next chapter should be better.
Important to remember:
1. Kaylee is on a date with Austin.
2. Ty likes Marianne
3. Mari likes Daniel a.k.a Dan
4. Oliver had a secret lover?
5. Mari for some reason doesn't want guys liking her?
6. Oliver didn't cover for Ty
A few of these will be mentioned next chapter!
Thanks!
