My Happiness Before His - Jyler [HHBM SEQUEL]

"It's been three years, Tyler. People are going to be curious why you and Justin are on talking terms again." Tyler rolled his eyes as he turned to face away from Ivan and back down at his phone.

"Just because we decided to talk again, doesn't mean we're getting back together. That's what's bothering me. It's been a week since him and I started talking and all I see on instagram is us." Tyler said and turned off his phone.

"Well you guys had a public relationship. Everyone knew about it and they're going to be curious about it too." Ivan said and sat next to Tyler on the couch.

"Sometimes I wish we hadn't been so public. Everything would've been easier." Tyler said and rubbed his temples in hopes of easing the headache he was getting.

"And by that you mean..."

"There wouldn't have been so much drama between our fandoms, no rumors spreading around about who cheated on who, Justin and I wouldn't have had that huge argument publicly that we nearly got in a fight, just so many things would've been different."

Ivan was shocked to hear half of those things. He and Noah weren't too interested in what happened on social media, but knew about the almost fight with Justin.

"I guess I understand why all this would be bothering you." Ivan said and Tyler nodded.

"Can you text Sky and let her know that I'm not going to be using my phone today. Just in case she calls or something. I already deactivated my accounts once, I don't want to do it again because of this." Tyler said and stood up.

"Alright then." Ivan said and sent Sky a text. He watched Tyler pick up his laptop and then come back to the couch.

"Are you going to be editing all day today?" Ivan asked and Tyler nodded as he opened the laptop.

"Yeah, might as well get something done. For how long are you planning on staying?" Tyler said and looked up from the laptop.

"Um, not much longer. Noah's car wouldn't work this morning so I'm picking him up from work." Ivan said and leaned over to see what Tyler was working on.

"Is that the one we filmed two days ago?" He asked. Tyler chuckled and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm almost done editing it."

"Wow, well that was fast."

"Yeah." Both him and Ivan spent the rest of their time together watching and editing the last bit of the video until Ivan had to leave.

Tyler was really conflicted with what was going on, but he didn't want to spend too much time on it.

He continued editing until Sky got home and got up from the couch.

"Let me guess, you were editing all day?" Sky said and Tyler nodded. She shook her head and sighed.

"Well, I'm going to shower and then I'll make something for us to eat. Since it looks like you haven't eaten." She said and raised an eyebrow at Tyler.

Tyler blushed. "Sorry. I got distracted and I've been drinking water so I didn't get hungry." He said and smiled sheepishly at her.

She chuckled. "Alright then, I'll be quick." She said and then disappeared into her room. Tyler sighed and saved his video.

He had worked enough on it and was happy to be nearly done.

He set his laptop down and picked up his phone. He bit his lip trying to decided if he should turn it back on.

"Sky." He called out and stood up from the couch.

"Yeah?" She yelled back.

"Do you think I should turn my phone back on?" He asked and walked over to her room.

"Um, I don't know. I can check to see if this calmed down." She said as she gathered her clothes.

"Yeah, I think that would be best." Tyler said and sat on her bed.

He watched her pick up her phone and furrow her eyebrows. "Well, nothing bad is happening. Just the usual. All of them are asking about you and where you are since you haven't been active." She said and handed her phone to him.

He scrolled through a few of the posts and sighed. "I guess I can be active now." He said and handed Sky her phone back.

He picked up his and turned it back on.

He watched it as it turned on and suddenly all the notifications were popping up. He walked out of Sky's room and walked into his.

He didn't know what to do. He liked a few posts before posting a new picture.

Sighing, he answered a few of his texts and then went back into instagram. He checked his messages and only answered a few, avoiding Justin, and then closed out the app.

He threw his phone on his bed and walked out to finish editing and upload a new video. Tyler had forgotten about the video that was supposed to be posted today and he quickly got to work.

He grabbed his laptop and sat back on the couch. He looked for the video and posted it before working on finishing his other one.

He sighed and got to work. Occasionally switching over to read a few of the comments on the video.

He didn't know for long he did that or when Sky has walked past him to the kitchen until she called him.

"Tyler, come eat and then you can finish editing." She said as she set two plates on the table.

"Fine." He mumbled and close his laptop. And they got to eat, they both got engrossed in their conversation that by the time they finished, it was too late to continue editing.

"Come on, just a little more. I'm so close to finishing!" Tyler tried convincing Sky.

"Tyler, I know you. You're probably going to be there all night and then complain tomorrow. I rather you sleep and just finish tomorrow." She said and crossed her arms.

He flipped her off and grabbed his laptop. "Well, let me complain, I'm finishing it tonight." He said and walked into his room.

"What am I going to do with you?" Sky mumbled and walked into her room. Tyler smirked when he heard Sky's door close.

He quickly opened his laptop back again and got to work.
