"Hold my hand, please," Sydney whispered to me, while we were both waiting for Kelly and Tyler.

"It's going to be ok, don't worry," I assured her, doing what she wanted.

She squeezed my hand tighter, getting all the support she wanted. I tried to think of the outcome more than what had to come. I know hard this had to be for her, but not the worse than for Tyler.

He's going to hate me. I could have told him the moment he wished not to see Craig, but I didn't. Fuck.

"I'm afraid of the consequences," she mumbled, and I saw Kelly and Tyler coming our way hand in hand.

"They're here. You're strong, Syd, you can do this," I whispered back, finally stepping back from the window.

We both heard a doorbell, and right after that we exchanged our looks. I walked to the main door with Sydney right behind me, and opened them.

"Hey," Tyler greeted us, and I couldn't really read his emotions.

"Hey, come on in," I smiled at them, moving, so they could have walked in.

I led them to the dining room, feeling the weird heavy atmosphere around us. I knew all of us, except poor Tyler, were nervous and tensed up.

The whole time I tried to give both girls time to speak up, but neither of them did. They were all chatting about so many things, but never about the thing I wanted.

"Evan, you're weirdly quiet," Tyler pointed out, ignoring the girl who were chatting.

"Am I? Sorry," I mumbled back.

"What's wrong? You want to talk about it?" He asked in whisper.

"Tell him," I stood up, looking from Kelly to Sydney.

There was a longer pause of silence, before Tyler spoke as the first person.

"Tell me what? What's wrong with all of you today?"

"Babe, I... I... there's..." Kelly started, and I saw Sydney quickly putting her hand on hers.

"What?" Tyler nudge her, looking at their hands.

"I'm seeing somebody else," she whispered, looking down.

I sat down, feeling relieved that finally this true was out. Looking at Tyler, I tried to tell what was he going through. He seemed to be processing this information, many emotions reflecting in his eyes.

"I didn't know it would happen, I didn't plan it. We were-" Kelly started to explain, but he cut her off

"Who it is?"

"I really didn't-"

"Who?!" He interrupted her again, more aggressively this time.

"It's me," Sydney finally spoke up.

"What?" He breathed out, leaning into the chair.

"In sorry, Tyler. I didn't want to hurt you, I really didn't mean for this to happen. Mainly when I was still dating Evan, and I-"

"You knew about this?" Tyler looked at me.

"I did," I replied.

"Why didn't you say a single thing? Just a fucking hint! We could have prevented a few decisions!" Tyler raised his voice at me.

"Let Evan out of this. He wanted to tell you the first moment he found out. It was me who held him back," Sydney defended me.

"Fuck this," he growled, furiously leaving the room.

It hit me harder than a meteor. I stormed off after him, catching up with him when he was almost near his car.

"Tyler!" I called after him, seeing him turn his head my way.

"What? I was fucking acting like a clown, like a fucking bitch because I thought Kelly loved me. I hated myself for the times with Craig, because it gave me much more than times with my girlfriend. I didn't want to hurt her, I didn't want to cheat on her, even though there were times when I really wanted to," he said, his voice filled with rage.

"Tyler, I would have broken the contract either way. You knew the relationship between the-"

"I fucking know! I'm not mad at you for letting Craig go, I'm mad because I lied to him about my feelings when he was asking the last time. I was treating him with a distance, because I was afraid to fell in love with him, but I didn't have to. I'm mad because I was guilty for my feelings, but I didn't have to," he jumped into my speech, getting into the car.

"Where are you going?" I asked him, but he just shrugged.

"Wherever I can think about all of this. I need to be alone for a few hours. I'll be at work tomorrow, don't worry," he replied,as he started the engine.

I silently watched his car disappear, feeling so bad for him. I returned back home, thinking how to help him the best way possible.

"What did he tell? How is he?" Kelly asked me, being held by Sydney.

"He's not mad at you, you don't have to worry about this," I soothed her, seeing her sigh.

"You didn't notice how he looked," she mumbled.

"Stay here over the night, I'm fine with that," I said, when an idea popped in my mind.

Craig! I can fix this.
