This chapter will only be from Dylans point of view.

Dylan's POV - Friday afternoon

I open the big cupboard on the wall in my fancy light grey kitchen. I find the cup with the huge letter H on it and put it down on the marble counter.

I smile as this reminds me of the first time I actually thought of Holland as something more than friends and where it all started for me, for us.

I open another cupboard and take out the box with tea and picks out one with blueberry flavour.

I put it in my H cup along with the boiled water. Just as I take a sip from the tea, the doorbell rang.

I make a face as the water was way too hot to drink. I put the cup down and run for the main door.

I open the door and a smiling Tyler greets me.

He was wearing a white t-shirt and grey pants. His hair was tucked under a blue cap, but the cap was facing the other way around.

"Hi buddy!" He says and steps in to give me a hug. I hug him back.

"Hey!" I say as we break apart and I smile.

He comes inside the entrance to my apartment and from the looks of it, Tyler approved.

He raises his eyebrows and had a huge grin on his face.

"This apartment looks so rad dude." He says really excited. He walks further in to the living room and jumps on top the sofa. I follow him, smiling.

"You don't think I overdid it?" I ask and lean my shoulders agains the wall.

"No man. I mean, if you can afford it. Why not?" He says and looks around one more time.

"I don't want seem like a obnoxious celebrity, flaunting my money." I say and scratch my beard.

"I've seen bigger, honestly. This isn't that bad. You deserve this." He says and blinks at me.

"Alright then. You want a beer?" I ask him and release myself from leaning against the wall.

"Ah, yes." He says. "The balcony?" He adds.

"YEAH!" I shout while walking towards the kitchen.

I see my tea cup when I enter the kitchen again and I giggle a little bit. I'm having tea.

I open the fridge and pull out a beer and pick up my tea and walk towards the living room again.

Tyler was already on the balcony, leaning agains the fence looking out on the beautiful view. I approach him and nudges the beer in his shoulder.

"Oh, thanks!" He says and grabs the beer. He looks at my tea cup.

"Tea? Really?" He says sarcastically.

I laugh. "Ha-ha. I made one just before you came, okay? I'll have a beer later." I answer.

He furrows his eyebrows and keeps looking at the cup.

"Now what?" I ask him.

"H for Holland? Are you THAT couple already?" He says.

"Oh, she actually gave this to me a while ago. Way before we were a thing" I explain. Tyler looks at me suspicious.

"Right." He says while squinting his eyes at me. He turns to look at the view again.

"So, how's life T-pose?" I ask and lean myself agains the fence as well.

"Work" He says and smiles while still looking out at the view

"Work" He says and smiles while still looking out at the view.

"Oh, started shooting for Jane The Virgin already?" I ask.

"No, just a lot of pre-shooting stuff." He says and looks down in his beer.

"Ah, okay. I know the feeling." I say and take sip of my tea.

Tyler peeks at me. "And you..? How's life with Holland?" He says, smiling.

"It's really good." I try convincing him and I wasn't lying. There's just a lot of other drama he doesn't know about.

"But..?" He asks, already feeling the story coming.

"Well.. stuff has happened dude." I say and sigh.

"So tell me. That's why I am here, isn't it?" He says and lift his beer and takes a gulp of it.

"Have you ever... " I started saying and I realised I didn't exactly know how to explain this.

Ty.er looks at me, waiting for me to finish the sentence.

"...got a vibe from Shelley?" I continued. I wasn't really make any sense with this.

"What?" He asks and furrows his eyebrows, confused.

"Like she might... like girls?" I ask again.

Tyler keeps looking at me, confused.

"What do you mean? Where's this coming from?" He asks and straightened himself a little.

"She kissed Holland." I said and he immidietly raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"She what?" He asks once again.

"You heard me." I said.

"Shit, why is all this weird stuff happening lately." He says and looks out on the view again.

"You tell me. I feel like I've been in a reality drama show or something. Jesus." I shake my head and look down in my tea cup.

"Oh, that... suprise party." He says, like he just remembered it and turns to look at me.

"Yeah?" I say.

"If you're not going, I'm not going." He says and stands up.

I stand up as well. "Holland wants us to go." I say and look down.

"Britt has a new boyfriend?" He asks ignoring my statement.

"Yup" I answer.

It's quiet for a couple of seconds.

"So, we're all going then?" He asks, already knowing the answer.

"Yup." I say and look up again. "I need a beer." I add and sigh.

Tyler laughs and we walk inside the apartment again together.
