Matty's POV 

"I just don't know what to do, Frailey." I sigh

"I mean, there isn't really anything that you can do. Other than- Oh, I don't know...fucking apologize?" He says, giving me that look of disapproval. 

"What the hell do you think i've been trying to do for two weeks now?" 

"Well, for starters, you need to block that bitch who keeps trying to grab your dick all of the time. I mean really, dude? Come on now. In what world would keeping your ex girlfriend- the one that you cheated on your current girlfriend with- around anyways? Bad idea, bro. You need to start by cutting off that extra baggage." He points out. He's right. He's so fucking right. 

"She isn't a bitch." I defend.

"Why the fuck are you defending her? She knew you were with Candace, and she still tried to grab your dick! She is the fucking definition of a bitch!" He exclaims with an amused laugh.

"Okay, but i'm just as guilty as she is! I'm the one who actually had the girlfriend! I'm the one who cheated! She doesn't have any obligation like that. She is single." I add.

"Yeah, and now you are too. Look, cut Haley off because she is nothing but trouble. She literally fucked you over. Do I have to remind you of the list of shit she did to you?" 

"Please don't." I groan, knowing that he is going to ignore my plea.

"Well, i'm telling you anyways. I just want you to remember all of those nights that you kept me up with your bitch ass crying because your perfect little girlfriend really wasn't that perfect. She literally cheated on you with Grant because she thought he had more money than you. Which also means that she only really cared about your money! She left you and quit her job to go and follow Grant to his company, which, big surprise, is falling apart now! So, you need to cut her off. I can't believe you actually agreed to a friendship with her anyways. On the other hand, you have Candace. Sure, she's kind of young. Can't even legally get into a bar yet. But who cares! She is way hotter than Haley and she is a better person. I mean, if I wasn't married and already have a smoking hot wife, you would have some serious competition." He laughs.

I roll my eyes, "Okay, well she hasn't tried talking to me at all." I mumble.

"Okay, well it isn't her job. When did you cut off your balls, dude? You're a man, so start acting like one!" 

"Should I text her?" I ask, fingers already typing her name on the screen. Previous text conversation appeared on my phone, and I instantly began to feel guilty. She tried texting me that night. She was checking on me. She didn't care if I needed to be with Haley and her family because she trusted me. She trusted me and I took her for granted. I am a damn fuck up. 

"Call her. A text is so impersonal." 

"I already texted her." I admitted.

"What the hell, bro. It has been like five seconds." 

"I know. I just said that I wanted to talk." The second the sentence left my mouth, I receive a text message from Candace. "Fuck, she replied. Shit." 

"Open it, you pansy!" Frailey exclaims.

"She asked when I want to talk. Fuck, should I say that I want to talk right now? Should I invite her over or should I go over there? Shit, why am I so nervous? What the hell am I going to say?"

"Okay, calm the hell down. You're going to be fine. Just tell her how you feel. But, don't go and make a dick of yourself by mentioning that you still hangout with Haley. If you really want to be with Candace, then blocking Haley shouldn't be a problem. You know, since you fucking cheated on her and all. You need to admit that you are wrong in everything but say that you're sorry. Sometimes that's all a girl wants to hear. Everything is forgivable. You just have to fully admit fault and find a way to move forward. No fighting. Just talk." 

"Okay, you're right. I can do this." I say, exhaling the breath that I have been holding. "I'm telling her to come to my house." I mumble

"I always am. Now, we need to talk about the Seattle building before you leave." Kyler says, reminding me of the real reason we're even together right now.

"Yeah, we actually need to start planning for this. I put the offer in, and now we're waiting for approval. They said it could take a few weeks or a few months. They aren't certain on the time frame yet." The Seattle building is what we have been working so hard for. We have to get this building.

"The location is perfect. Megan and I can start moving out there once we figure out the closing date." 

"You sure you're okay with moving out to Seattle? I mean, you're going to be like six hours away. What the hell am I going to do when you're six hours away?" I ask, nudging his shoulder. Although it's said as a joke, I really don't know what the fuck i'm going to do without him here.

"Yeah. We don't have kids or family here, so there really isn't anything holding us back. You'll be fine. I'll just have to move your weekly cry session to FaceTime." He laughs as I punch him in the arm.

"Well, I'm going to go and wait for Candace. Wish me luck." I say, gulping involuntarily 

"Good luck. You'll need it. Don't be a tool!" He called after me as I walked away.

Short and Sweet! I wanted to take a quick chapter and introduce everyone to Mr. Kyler Frailey! He is honestly one of my favorite characters, and has a ton of influence on what happens in this story and the way Matty thinks! Kyler is a really good guy. We love him.

I always pictured him as Justin Prentice or Jake Paul if we're being honest. But, that's just me of course!
