Rye's Pov:
As I lay there in Andy's lap, I realise how I must have made Hayley feel. I pushed away the girl I loved because I am embarrassed of myself. God I hate myself for that. I get up off the floor and go sit on Andy's bed. I sit facing away from him as tears stream down my face. I really don't know what was happening to me but I hated it.
"rye?.... rye look at me" Andy said as he came over and placed his hand on my shoulder. I couldn't let him see me like this. not again. he'd think I'm so weak. I keep on telling myself this until I feel Andy's hands resting his hands on my knees. He had knelt down in front of me allowing him to see my face.
"look Andy. I don't want to keep on getting upset and I don't know what else to do apart from just say it all as it is but I can only do that to you. Do you mind?" "listen to me" Andy began, "for you I've got all of the time in the world, go ahead speak, ill be here to listen don't worry."
I began to open up about all of my feelings towards Hayley, it felt kind of strange that I was telling Andy all of this and not her but I couldn't let her see me like this. "Andy I feel like I'm in to deep. I'm totally and utterly in love with a girl that I don't think loves me back. I don't doubt that she loves me, I know she does. but I don't feel like she loves me as much as she used to. and its really hurting me fovvs and I don't know how to fix it"
Andy's Pov:
I sat and took in everything Rye was telling me. It was killing me seeing him this upset knowing I couldn't help him. but all he wanted was for me to listen so I did. I listened so very carefully that it made me tear up just thinking that he could ever believe that someone didn't love him.
We all loved him.
"Look Rye" I began to sit up. " Hayley loves you, more than anything, and I know this because she's told me and Ivy before, Bro those two are best friends, she tells Ivy everything. even if I'm sat there. and I know that she loves you because I know what it looks like to love you. someone who truly loves you, accepts you on your good and bad days. they will sit with you until all of the bad thoughts go away. they make you love yourself almost as much as they love you. and all of your insecurities become the things they love the most about you. and you Rye Beaumont are completely and utterly in love with Hayley. and she is in love with you."
"He's right Rye."
Rye's Pov:
As I was listening to Andy speak to me, I got lost in his eyes, my heart began to race as I listened to him tell me all the ways that Hayley loves me. I know he's right because that's exactly how much he loves Ivy. No one on this earth could replace that girl. not in Andy's eyes. he was so in love with her it was crazy.
I was so lost in my thoughts when I heard a voice coming from behind me..
"He's right Rye."
it was Hayley.
"wait, how long have you been stood there?" I ask in confusion. "long enough." she replied. "Andy do you mind if I borrow Rye for a chat?" "oh.. erm.. yeah go for it" Andy says ass he removes his hands from mine. somehow they ended u intertwined. but it wasn't weird for us to hold hands. us and the boys do it all the time.
I left Andy's room with Hayley. but as I was leaving I look back at Andy who is now staring at a photo of him and Ivy. "Fovvs.." I whisper so Hayley doesn't notice him upset. "thank you." "for what?" he asked as I closed the door without giving him a reply.
We walked into my room and we lay down on my bed, Hayley lay with her head on my chest looking up at me. she began to cry.
"Hayley what's wrong?" I ask as I trace shapes on her arm with my finger. "You don't believe that I love you anymore. How could you think that?" "no. you've got it wrong" I say as I begin to panic. I cant loose her. "It isn't that I think you don't love me anymore. its just, why would you. this is the side of me I never wanted you to see. I'm weak. and I'm a different person when I'm like this. I'm not the person you fell in love with. and its terrifying. the thought of not having you in my life anymore is a horrible thought."
"rye, I love you. I love you more than anyone else. I would never think bad of you for being upset. I wouldn't see you as weak at all. like Andy said, someone who loves you will stay with you through the good and the bad days. and that's what I plan on doing."
"Hayley, I love you so much."
"I love you too Rye"
we lay there for about 10 minuets just cuddling and enjoying each others company but I could tell that she was going to ask me something, she was fiddling with her bracelet which meant that she was nervous and was trying to figure out what to say.
"Babe?" "yeah.." I replied. "why did you choose Andy?" what was she talking about. what was she implying? A million thoughts came rushing through my mind. "what do you mean chose Andy?" I asked, trying to sound as calm as possible. "you chose to let him in, over me, and Mikey. why?"
"he's my safe place. I know he accepts me. and I know that is horrible to hear. But I just know that I could go to him with anything and I wouldn't get judged he'd just listen. to be in his comfort was my first reaction this morning and I'm sorry. that's why I went into his room . Because I got away from it all. except him. and as bad as all of this sounds. you have got to understand that I love you. and I would never put anyone or anything before my love for you. It's just Andy's been in my life a long time you know.. and I don't remember life without him. well I try not to remember it anyway. Just like you and Ivy. If it was the other way around and the only person you wanted was Ivy. I would completely understand. just feel the safest around him. I don't know why I just do. I know every thing will be okay as long as I have his support."
"i do understand. I'm sorry. things are just tough at the minuet. I need my best friend back. I love you Rye. I really am sorry."
we lay and cuddle for bout an hour while we had some free time. I've got my girl back. things should really start looking up now. All I need is Ivy home so that Andy and Hayley at happy again.
