We've been staying here for half an hour. The sun was beggining to set and it was getting more beautiful every passing minute. I looked at Tyler and he was staring at the sky adoringly. 

"Why are you hiding those frames behind the shelves?" I wondered.

"What?" He looked at me, light of the setting sun iluminating his face.

"I saw frames behind some shelves back in your room."

"Not a specific reason," He shrugged, clearly lying.

"So why not put them in a visible place, where you can see them." I asked more, the sun was finally gone leaving faint beautiful colors in the clear blue sky.

"Just drop it," He snapped suddenly. I flinched from his tone.

"You don't have to be rude." I spoke quickly.

"I'm not rude, I just don't want to talk about this." He sighed.

"Well, you never want to talk about anything that's related to your past or your family, you never talk about anything, yet here I am in the middle of nowhere in the dark with you and trust you." I said with stimulation. 

He looked at me ,with those same eyes that I never got the chance to read, and stayed silent.

"Take me home." I looked around trying to remember which way we came from, but it was too dark.

"Valerie-" He began. 

"I said take me home." I cut him off. 

"Okay," He sighed, pushing himself off the ground, leading the way.

 We walked for a while, him leading the way and looking back every once in a while. Finally we got to the car and I got in silently. 

"Some people I don't want to remember." He said quietly that I almost missed it.

"What?" I looked at him.

"The frames behind the shelves." He kept staring forward.

"Like?" I asked carefully and knew with the longing silent I won't get an answer.

Tyler's POV.

I walked through the dark alley kicking dirt on the filthy street. This part of the town isn't safe for anyone to walk in, anyone like Valerie. Heck, I hope she doesn't pass by this part of town. I saw the neon sign form afar signalling that it was open as usual. People were going in, getting out, it was swarming everywhere with alocohol smell and dirty middle-aged men looking for entertainment. I walked to our usual table, some of them were already there.

"Woho, look who decided to show up." Drew noted.

"Where the hell have you been, man." Jared said.

I looked at Drew and sat down without a word. I just came for a change that's all, I don't want to talk to any of these shitheads. I ordered a beer and started playing. 

"You're not gonna join our little after party?" Jared smirked.

"No." I shook my head.

"Why not, I bet you have so much fun while being drunk." I heard Drew say.

"None of your business." I stated.

"Dudes," Jared warned.

I shook my head and continued to distribute the papers talking myself to calm the fuck down. The bartender got my beer and sat it next to my right hand.
