Part 45

"I'll ring Mikey now and ask him if they all want to come over" I said

"Okay" rye said

I rang Mikey and he didn't answer

"Mike isn't answering" I said to rye

"Ring Brook then" rye said

I rang Brook ... he didn't answer either

"Nope he's not answering" I said

"Why don't you just walk over there and ask them then ?!" Rye asked rolling his eyes

"Woah calm down what's wrong? why are you getting stroppy?" I asked

"I'm not" rye said "just go and ask them if they want to come over"

"Can you do it while I get changed?" I asked

"No" rye said "you do it, they're your bestfriends all of a sudden"

"Oh is this because I had a coffee with Andy today?" I asked "is that why you're annoyed?"

Rye turned his back to put his deodorant on a higher shelf

"It is isn't it?!" I asked "you're stroppy because I was spending time with Andy today"

"You snuck off this morning to go for breakfast with him and then you were with him at the airport" rye said "so I'm sorry if I'm a bit suspicious about that"

"Babe why are you suspicious at that?!" I asked

Rye didn't speak

"Andy was talking me through tour stuff and helping me out with other stuff" I said

"Was He now? What other stuff has he helped you with recently?" Rye said

"Rye stop! Nothing like that" I said

"Wasn't it now?" He asked

"You know what do you really want me to tell you what we were talking about?" I said

"Yeah tell me about the precious information you shared with Andy" rye said

"Both Andy and I noticed that you weren't acting like yourself recently so we went for a tea at the cafe this morning to see if we could think of anything that was upsetting you or any ways we could help" I said

"Yeah whatever" rye said

"Then at the airport" I continued "he wanted to know what you had said so he could keep an eye out for you and make sure you're okay!" I said

"He wants to make sure you're okay is more like it" rye said "he wants to make sure I'm not getting suspicious"

"me and Andy were trying to look out for you because we both care about you and want to help you" I said

"B-" rye tried to talk

"No you can listen" I said I could feel tears welling up inside me "we care about you despite what you might think Ryan and I meant what I said earlier about doing the best I can especially when it comes to you and I'm trying to do that! And you suggesting that there might be something with me and Andy is stupid!! I can't believe you'd even think that I'd do that"

"Do you blame me for being suspicious?" Rye said

I walked out of the bedroom and down to the kitchen rye followed me

"Do you blame me for being suspicious After everything" rye said

"After everything?" I asked

"Yeah I know what you're like" rye said
