Ethan's Pov 

 It had been a while since Tyler left for the bathroom. I was going to get up myself but Mark beat me too it, saying "he's probably just on his phone" "I'll be back in a second" 

But as time went on I became more and more worried by the second. I looked at the clock, 15 minuets  they had been in there.

Putting my phone in my pocket and excusing myself from Amy I made my way to the bathroom, I  knocked 3 times before a voice replied 

"Yeah?" called out a deep voice  Okay found Mark  

"Hey you guys have been gone for like 15 minuets...are you doing okay in there or?...." I responded my question trailing 

"Oh yeah I'm fine Tyler's heading home though so I'll probably be gone soon  So if you don't mi-" 

I interjected before he could finish his thought "Leaving? Why is Tyler leaving so early, he usually sticks around to help turn off computers and pack equipment..." 

"Is he sick? He has been acting a little down lately" 

"He's fine Ethan just a bit..." he paused "tired, but then again we all are."

I squinted at the door. Tired? I mean we all are pretty tired but he seemed fine earlier...

"Mark I'm jus-"

I was cut off by the sound of heavy footsteps on stairs Ah! the giant himself

"Hey Mark we'll talk later okay?"  "I.. um I gotta go!"

I made my way towards the stairs taking a couple steps down to catch up with the older man. "Hey Tyler!" I greeted 

He froze in place he foot hovering above the step he was going to take "H-hey E-Than!' He smiled...but the smile...it seemed off somehow. "Hey, sooo Mark said your heading home right now, are you doing okay? You don't usually leave this early" I said looking down at my feet. 

I glance up in time to see him scratch the back of his neck "Y-yeah Im fine just a little under the weather thats all y'know?" His words were quite and unlike him "Oh..um do you want me to drive yo-"

His jaw tightened and his head shot up "No! I mean um no thank you I-Im good, Marks driving" He looked at me and I could slowly feel a blush creep into my face. I coughed looking down "Yeah okay um yeah..Ma-" Almost on cue Amy walked down the stairs passing by me. "Hey Ethan" she smiled. Amy looked down at Tyler who was standing awkwardly in the middle of the stairs and then back at me. She started her sentence slowly "...Hey Tyler, Heres the keys Mark should be down any second now oaky?" 

Tyler took the keys from Amy and made his way down the remaining steps before disappearing from my sight. Amy nodded in my direction before walking up the stairs calling for Mark. 

I sighed looking down 

What's wrong with Tyler? Why won't he talk to me? Was it something I did? 

Does he- 

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Mark's hand on my shoulder. 

"Hey so Amy and I are going to head home do you want a ride?" he asked shifting on the stairs

I told him no,  "I still need to edit some more videos, Ill get a ride from Kathryn" He nodded before taking off with Amy to their car.

I sat on the stairs taking a deep breath. Why won't you let me in Tyler?  Please 

Just let me in. 

I think he has a crush TYTHANWhere stories live. Discover now
