He Knew How to Play It

Trying

Hayes POV

"Intimidated?" Brandon smirks

I nod slowly as my eyes roam around the room....

He takes my wrist and pulls me to the counter where a woman around her early fifties greets us. She has white roots but gray hair and wrinkles cover her face, she's also pretty skinny.

"Hey sugar. Whatcha doing here?Wouldn't your dad blow a fuse again?" She grins lighting her cigarette and breathing it In my face as she talks to Brandon.

"Nah. He wouldn't mind, doesn't care anyway. So you willing to let us blow off some stress mama? I brought a friend too, hope Joe don't mind." Brandon grins back leaning one elbow on the counter.

"My Husband? Nah won't mind a bit, which guns would you like boys? Pick anyone that catches your eye." She tells us ushering us to go looking around with her cigarette

Brandon already has one by the time I get to the front with a good looking gun. It was shiny and didn't look as scary and intimidating as the others for some reason

Once she loads the guns she gives me a pair of headphones to cover my ears and goggles to protect my eyes.

I see that Brandon goes in bare. And when I questioned him about it he just shrugged.

"Feels more real," he said.

We make it to the back were there are several rows that all have a shooting point in the distance.

Brandon lets me go first.

"So what's on your mind little buddy?" he questions as I take a first shot, completely missing the target.

I sigh.

"Just...stuff I guess. Things with my brother and I miss my friend Aaron." I say shooting another round of bullets but all to no avail.

Damn I suck at this

"I think the thing isn't shooting right or the target keeps moving I can't seem to hit anythi-"

Before I can finish my rant Brandon takes the gun from me and shoots five shots.

Each hitting the target right in the middle.

I gulp as he chuckles, grabbing his own gun.

"Hey I've been stressed a lot lately. And this is a stress reliever. Put two and two together and you'll see that I come here a lot." He says shooting some bullets, all hitting the targets.

"So what you so stressed about" I say stepping back just in case of the gun back fired I wouldn't get an elbow to the face.

"Oh you know, just thinking about people..." he says trailing off

"Like who?" I press grabbing a water bottle.

"Yami..." he sighs I nod understanding. That girl seems to be running around everybody's mind. I take a sip of the water but apparently Brandon isn't done talking.

"...and Natasha" he says fiddling with his gun while I spin out all my water.

He chuckles as I wipe my lip.

"Who the hell is Natasha?" I ask him. He just shrugs.

"Yami's cousin" he says

Holy mother freak

"What! The one you cheated on her with?!" I yell at him

"But that's the thing! I didn't cheat on her! I never did!" He fires back

It goes silent for awhile. We just stare at each other. No one saying anything, my unbelieving eyes searching his pleading ones.

"She actually um...I'm not her type at all"

I spit my drink again

"Holy hell what does she even look like?!" I say wiping my lip again

"Well, imagine a good girl. She has chocolate eyes and long brown hair and cute freckles cover her face. She also has glasses."

"So a good girl like Yami?" I ask in disbelief

Brandon smirks. "Yami's not a good girl...anymore."

"You always go for the good girls don't you?" I shake my head at him as he chuckles pulling me out of there returning our guns saying thanks to the lady, and jumping in the car.

Suddenly he ask me something that catches me off guard

"Are you jealous of Nash?"

What? Well at least he didn't say 'of nash and cam'

"Um s-sorta why?" I choke

"Becuz... I know he's gay and everything but what the hell? He gets all the girls and stays with them."

I laugh at that. "What's wrong are you actually scared that my gay brother is going to steal Yami away from you? That boy hasn't ever been seen with a girl in his life."

He rolls his eyes starting the car and backing out. "there's a first for everything" he mumbles

3rd person POV

Yami is currently sitting in the couch with nash. Every now and then while they were watching tv Yami would hear Nash quietly sniff and try to play it off as if he wasn't just crying and now his nose is clogged.

Yami sighs. 'But what could I possible do?' She thinks to herself.

'I could always try getting him with some random ass girl and making cam jealous...' Yami snorts at her insane idea...'the black lady has to sing first for that to ever happen' she thinks to herself

Suddenly she hears the doorbell and both her and Nash's head snap up to the door

Yami shrugs at Nash and gets up to open the door, Nash following right behind her. Once Yami opens the door she given the shock of her life and almost a heart attack.

Right there standing in front of her looking up at her because she's a bit smaller than Yami is a girl Yami wished she never had to dealt with again...

Right there standing, long brown wavy hair, chocolate eyes, scattered freckles and glasses is Yami's beloved cousin

Natasha...

Natasha is quick to speak, a bit to eagerly for Yami's liking but she did used to be her best friend before everything so she knows how Natasha is already.

"Hi Yami! Look I really wanted to talk to you about everything because you never really gave me any chance to explain and just sorta pushed me to the side and moved away and I wanted to explain everything because I've heard you've been really sad lately and-"

"Who is it?" Nash says poking his head out behind Yami and that's when Natasha sees him. Yami mentally face palms because knowing Natasha he's exactly her type. And poor girl is going to fall for a gay boy.

Then suddenly while Natasha is about to introduce herself to Nash, Yami slams the door shut. Putting her back against it and looking wide-eyed at Nash who looks at her equally wide-eyed in surprise.

"Well, looks like the black lady sung..."
