It Will Always Be You

Chapter 3

*Tyler*

"What?" I asked Riley as she stood in front of me and Axel with her arms folded across her chest, looking nervous.

"I- I don't know if I should tell you, actually" She said, looking at her feet.

"Well now you have to tell me." I say, stepping closer towards her until I'm practically in her face. She backs away slightly.

"Should I go-?" Axel asks.

I turn to look at him, "No, man it's cool. Go in my room and set up the Xbox so long." He nods and does as I say and I turn back to look at my sister.

"Riley. Something is wrong. Tell me. Now."

Riley sighs, "You're not going to like this though." She looks into my eyes, "It's about Camilla."

I suck in air and hold it there, waiting for her to continue. "Tara and I were talking and she told me a little about what's going on."

I let my breath out slowly as the thought I had tried to avoid thinking came into my mind, "Is it another guy?" I asked quietly.

Riley gave me a sympathetic look and touched my arm, "Brother, I'm so sorry."

I sniffed and looked away. begging the tears not to fall. Obediently, they stayed in place and I continued to look away as I spoke, "It's, uh." I stuttered, "It's fine." I forced a smile.

"Are you sure? I've never seen you like this before."

"Yeah, well, that's because I've never felt like this before." I say coldly as I turn my back on my sister and stalk into my room where Axel was already playing Fifa.

He paused his game and looked at me, "Everything okay?"

"No. No everything sucks. But you know what? Whatever."

"Whatever?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, whatever. That's my attitude. So fucking what if she left me for another guy? Her loss."

"Whoa whoa whoa." Axel said, holding his hands up, "She what?"

"According to Tara, there's another guy." I tell him as I plug in my extra controller and sit down next to him on my bean bag chair on the floor.

"I wasn't expecting that one." He said more to himself than to me.

"Yeah, neither was I."

We both sit in silence for a while as if we were both trying to register what just happened. Axel finally spoke up.

"Me thinks you should get hammered tonight." He said with a smile on his face.

I look at him, returning the smile, "Me thinks so, too."

"My boy is back!" 

*Camilla*

I keep staring at a picture of Tyler on my phone. He had stayed over at my house and was walking around my house in just his jeans and a cap. It was my favourite picture of him. Mainly because I took it in such a natural moment. He was rubbing his nose with his arm after just sneezing about three times. He tried to get me to delete it but I refused. He tried to wrestle me for it and lost because I accidentally hit him in the nose, making him sneeze a further two times.

I smiled at the memory.

"What are you smiling at?" James asked, making me jump.

He laughed, "What are you hiding, eh?" He asked as I tried to turn my phone away from him but he grabbed at it and took it from me.
