Last Chance (Bret Von Dehl)

Liars and Monsters

***Nix's POV***

After the monster, we have to call Ashley finally got off the bus, you could physically feel all the tension leave. Well most of the tension. It was still tense between Bret and I, but to be completely honest i dont think thats ever going to change. We never really got along, let alone we never liked each other.

"Curse you feelings." I hissed to myself and sighed quietly. I never meant to start liking bret, but you cant change your feelings, you never could, and now you never can.

"Why you so down, lil clown?" Tyler asked softly sitting by me in the booth, that sat nestled in the kitchen.

I have him a strange look but shook my head barely knowing why I was so down myself "I don't know. I guess it's just Ashley." I muttered.

He laughed quietly "when isn't it Ashley with you.. Everyone on the bus can tell your jealous, and that you love Bret with all your heart." He frowned "but I also know, that everything Ashley's been saying has be finding it's way into your heart."

So, he figured out the truth did he? I thought I was doing a good job at keeping the truth hidden, after simply shrugging I finally replied "It may be finding it's way there, but that's never going to change the situation that's happening. That's never going to end the tormenting from the plastic bitch. It's not going to stop the hatred Bret has for me."

Tyler shook his head "I promise you, life has it's ups and downs, but if you give up here, you'll never know what's around the corner. Around that corner it could be something wonderful, or something terrifying. But, you need to be willing to take that corner."

"But... Tyler, that corner is just a decision, if I take that corner and get hurt again, then what? I managed to put myself deeper in this rut?" I said, looking up at him.

"That is just a risk you need to take nix-er." Tyler said, using my old nickname.

"I'm not quite ready to take that risk quite yet tylee." I said softly, and crossed my arms and placed my chin on them.

Tyler frowned again and kissed my forehead, "I'll be in the living room ok nix? If anything happens feel free to call." He murmured and stroked my cheek softly before, did appearing into the living room.

Well then.. He made some valid points, but I don't know. I've just been kinda staying out of everyone's way, not to cause anymore band drama, I don't want to start it.

I did realize that everyone Ashley's been with was band members or someone famous. She has an expensive clothing taste, and a lot of plastic surgery done. With the amount she had, it's just gross. She's a little too perfect.

I must've went into my mind, for when I came through the small daydream thought process, Bret had walked in. I didn't want to see him let alone be in the same room as him. So I did what I have been doing, and walked away from the kitchen, back to my bunk.

I don't want to deal with him, I'm not going to deal with him.
