More than just Friends? (A Tyler Ward and Alex G fanfinc)

Chapter 31: More lies

~ Alex ~ 

The next day, I head over to Tyler’s house again.  

I still can’t get over what happened yesterday. I mean, it was akward between Tyler and I after he told me that he would break up with Jessica today. 

I bring a piece of paper with me that has a couple song ideas written down. I’m gonna run through a couple with Tyler, and he can tell me which ones he likes. 

“ Hey...” he says, opening the door. 

“ Hi...” I say quietly. 

“ So... I-uh broke up with Jessica this morning.”  

I wasn’t really sure how to respond to that. I really wanted to say, “ Great! Now we can be together!” 

 But I knew that I couldn’t say that. 

 “ So uh- let’s head downstairs.” he says, knowing that he didn’t need a response. 

 “ Ya ok..” 

We head down to the recording studio and sit down, facing each other.

 “ So.. I’d love to see your song ideas.” he says, looking at my piece of paper. 

 “ Uh- ya- sure.” I say, handing him it. 

 He starts to look the songs over, and he stopped reading at the 3rd song, and looked up at me. 

 “ What?”

 “ This song... Who’s it about?”  

Shoot. 

I wasn’t supposed to bring that one! That one must have fallen out of my journal and into the pile of songs! 

“ Uh Alex?” 

 “ S-sorry. It’s uh- about Dylan.” I say, lying. 

 “ It’s really good!” he says, smiling. 

 “ Thanks, but it’s uh-” 

 “ It’s what?” 

 “ Well I just was- um- I was still working on it.” I say, lying again. 

 “ Oh. Well once it’s done, I think you should record it!” he says, smiling. 

 “ Ya.” I say, smiling, and lying, again. 

 Does he really believe me? I just think he’ll think something is up when I come over a week later, and say that it’s either still not done, or I just forgot about it. 

We continue looking through my songs, and we both decide on one that I should record, and I start to practice the lyrics, and Tyler starts to set up the recording devices. 

“ Are you sure that I should be putting out my first original this early?” I say, kinda nervous. 

“ I am sure.” he says, smiling. “ People want to know more about you, and your originals can do that for you.” 

 “ Ok, you’re right.” I say, smiling back. 

We start recording, and about an hour later, we have the song almost complete, and then we here someone come down the stairs.
