Mini Foley- Back- book2

18. The call

I was sat across from Clay, the smell of Coffee in my nose constantly. We were sat In Monets, we were supposed to be discussing everything but we just mainly sat in silence.

"Can't we just forget about it? I mean, they'll probably catch whoever it is right?" I asked, holding my cup of luke warm coffee. "If it's someone we know then...we can't let them go down like that." Clay replied. I furrowed my brows.

"So you're saying that if it's not someone you're all buddied up with then you don't care? This is murder, Clay. Actual fucking murder." I told him, raising my voice. I could tell Clay was self conscious of people hearing our conversation but I didn't care too much.

"You're always trying to be the hero aren't you? Yet, Saving only your friends and yourself. What kind of hero does that make you? Justice only applies to those you hate? And what-" He cut me off.

"What if it was Monty? You'd want to save him." He asked, looking me dead in the eyes. "Fuck you, what has Monty got to do with this? You don't know him" I said, my voice low. "Monty has everything to do with this. He's an asshole jock with a short temper who happens to be Bryces ex bestfriend." Clay told me, his voice angry and cocky.

I stood up, slapping him in the face. "Fuck you, he loved Bryce. They were like brothers."

I walked away, grabbing my jacket from the back of my chair. What was he telling me? Was Monty the murderer? It wouldn't be hard to believe.

(Flashback)
As I stared at the small blonde hairs on the back of his neck, I took a deep breath, taking in the moment. I was pulled out of my thoughts by a ringing- it was my phone. "Hello?" I greeted, not bothering to see who it was. "Angie, Is Monty with you?" They asked and I paused for a seconds. It was Justin.

"No, why?" I answered, looking directly at Monty as I spoke. He sighed. "He hasn't been seen and the last place anyone could remember him being was on the field last night before the fight." Justin explained. I furrowed my brows "And you just assumed I'd be with him." I stated, rolling my eyes.

"No I- Nevermind. Come round today if you like, we need a photo of us on my wall or some shit. See you, loser." He chuckled. I smiled "Say hi to...everyone for me, bigger loser." I joked back. "Love you." We both said at the same time.

I ended the phone with a smile and stretched. The boy in my bed rolling over and hugging me. "I'm not here am I?" He questioned with a chuckle. I shook my head "it's best that they don't know." I stated, laying back down.

He groaned. "Why is this always the same thing? We break up, We hook up and then you try and act like nothing ever happened?" He asked me and I hid under his blankets. "Dude, I don't act like we never happend." I lied, whining loudly.

This morning was great and now he had to ruin it. "You literally just told Justin that I wasn't here! I'm done pretending and I'm done being in a relationship one day, then being nothing the next." He said loudly, leaving the room in an uncomfortable silence.

I pulled down the blankets "What are you saying?" I questioned, sitting up. My head was so confused, I wasn't sure what I wanted. But one thing I was sure of was that I wanted him.

"I'm saying that this is done. Unless you can figure out what you want, I'm not going to do this anymore. Whatever this is." He explained and I sat staring at his eyes. They were full of hurt and sadness and I was ashamed that I'd made him feel that way.

"I understand, I'm sorry." I apologised, getting up and leaving. My breath was shaking and The back of my throat hurt from keeping in my tears.

(Present)

I was walking around a neighbourhood that I wasn't very familiar with. I'd been so lost in my thoughts that I didn't know where J was going. I just kept walking.

"Angie? What are you doing here?" I heard from behind me and I spun around. Behind me was a tall, pale boy. The boy thag I'd been wanting to see for so long, I'd just never realised it.

"Tyler!" I greeted, walking up and hugging him. He flinched but soon hugged back, to my surprise. "I was just...walking I guess." I added. He smiled and I smiled up at him too. I pulled out of the hug and we began talking.

"I heard that you shouted at Clay earlier, he was ranting to me about it." Tyler said, making me roll my eyes. "Clay is a good person, I just don't agree that, no matter the relationship we have, we should never try and hide a fucking murder. Someone we know could have done this and I think that we shouldn't cover up for them." I explained.

Hearing myself out loud made me seem harsh. "I think everyone should have a second chance...you gave me a second chance." Tyler quietly stated. As much as I hated it, he was right. We'd all given him a second chance.

"You wanna get some food? I'm starving." I asked him and he nodded, changing the subject. Me and Tyler sat down in the Diner, a place I wouldn't usually go but here I was. With Tyler Down of all people. "God the food here is honestly the best!" I giggled, stuffing fries down my throat. Tyler looked at me in confusion but chuckled to himself.

"You really are hungry, huh." He smiled, taking one small fry at a time. "These are fucking amazing!" I laughed, feeling like a child again. I liked hanging out with Tyler because he made me feel my age, a feeling I had longed for. I was scared though, I didn't want to mess things up with Tyler. I'd messed everything else in my life up.
