camping trip (randy short story)

chapter 7

Andy's POV
I hadn't gotten the time to tell the boys yet. The things Rye and Harvey had said, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I realized I wouldn't be able to stay away from Rye if I didn't understand why I had to. Why couldn't we be togheter?

I was awake all night long, thinking it over and over again. There was a possibility he was telling Harvey the truth, he might have been faking everything on the trip. If that was true, I knew he could have a work as an actor in the future. In that case he hadn't just tricked me, but my friends as well. No, that couldn't be true.
I was beginning to wonder why I didn't stay home instead of coming along on that damn trip? But when I thought about it, I wouldn't trade anything for those nights I had with Rye. I wouldn't trade anything for the times he held my hand or when he whispered how beautiful I was.

I was awaken from my thoughts when my phone rang. It was saturday morning and I hadn't gotten up yet. It was too cozy to stay under the covers.

"Hello" I said with my raspy morning voice when I answered.

"Rise and shine Andy" I heard Brook's excited voice exclaim.
"We're going to a party tonight"

"What?" I asked even though I had heard perfectly what he had said.

"We're going to a party at Beatrice's friend's house" Brook said and I groaned. Beatrice was Sonny's girlfriend and I didn't have anything against her. But a party?

"Come on Andy you need it" Brook begged and I knew I didn't have a choice. It could even be fun.

"Okay then" I surrendered and I could hear Brook's smile.

"We'll come to your house and get ready togheter then" Brook said and before I got to say anything, he hung up. I sighed, I hadn't planned my weekend like that. But what I had in mind wasn't exactly better, stalking Rye's social medias.

I went downstairs to eat breakfast and mum was already there. She was in the middle of making pancakes.

"Goodmorning honey" she said when she heard me come in. I answered her and sat down by the table while she continued with the pancakes. While I waited, I went on instagram. My fingers lived their own life and soon, I was on Rye's account. He had posted a new picture a couple of days ago. I hadn't seen it before, but now when I did I almost blushed. It was a mirror selfie of him shirtless. My heart ached when I looked at it. Why couldn't he be mine?

"What are you looking at?" mum asked me and I jumped, not having noticed her. I turned off my phone, but she had probably already seen it, since she had a smirk on her face.

"Nothing" I still said. She chuckled to herself and it hitted me that she didn't see who it was. If she would have, she would've said something. She knew the Rye story. I guessed that was for the best.

"I need to tell you something" I said as soon Jack and Brook had entered my room. Sonny wasn't with them, he was with his girl. They sat down beside each other on my bed and looked at me, curious.

"I heard Rye and Harvey talk the other day" I started and both of them raised their eyebrowns. Here we go.
"They talked about the trip. And me"

"They did what?" Jack asked.

"Harvey asked Rye about what had happened between us. Rye told him it had been just for fun and nothing real" I continued. "Harvey asked him if we had had sex, he said yes and then Harvey asked if it was good" with that part I blushed a little and paused.
"And then Rye said yes and then no and then yes" I said and realized it was probably confusing for them but they didn't interrupt me, for once. "Harvey sounded acceptive, but Rye sounded almost scared to admit it"

"Weird" was the first thing Jack said. Brook looked like his brain was about to explode. He looked like that when he was actually thinking.

"He is most likely scared. But that's good news Andy" Brook said and I bit my lip, thinking it over again.

"It wasn't just a summer flirt. Not for either of you" Jack added and I nodded. I was almost positive about that as well. But what I needed to figure out was wheter or not I should fight for us?

"Should I just move on?" I asked them and to be honest I was scared their answer were going to be no.

"That's not up to us. It's your decision" Jack said, as smart as he could be. It was almost annyoing. It'd be easier if they decided for me.

"But I ship you" Brook whined and closed his eyes while pretending to stab himself in his heart. He was weird, but that wasn't news.
I stayed silence, not sure what I could say. I didn't even know what I thought.

"He'll probably be at the party though" Jack said and stood up. "Speaking of the party, you need to look good"

With that, my wardrobe was opened and clothes started flying across my room.

Short filler chapter. I happened to forget to update yesterday, so I might upload later today again :)
