Odd Ones Out (MINICAT)

♡Chapter twenty-nine♡

Craig's pov

The whole day the only thing I could think about was the scholarship. Don't get me wrong I'm excited as hell to be joining them next year, the only downfall to it was moving..

I had yet to tell Tyler this as I didn't let him read the letter.

Tyler and Rose were the only ones who knew about the scholarship, I was planning on hanging out with Jonathan and Brock after school today since it's been quite some time since we last hung out together. Tyler was hanging out with Evan, Brian and Lui anyways so it worked out.

"Craig, you've been on edge all day what's wrong?" Brock asks from beside me. I sigh and grip the straps on my shoulders tightly.

"I got a scholarship." I say.

"WHAT!?" Both Brock and Jonathan shout loudly. I chuckle nervously well scratching the back of my neck. "K we need to sit down or else I'm gonna pass out from this sudden information." Jonathan says well wobbling on his feet slightly. Brock and I laugh as we turn a corner and walk into a park that didn't have much people in it.

We sit on a bench, me in the middle with Brock on my right and Jon on my left. I sigh as I take out the letter Mr. Easton gave me this morning and hand it to Brock who read it out loud for Jon to hear.

Once he was done they both look up at me, silence filling the air but gets interpreted when both of them throw their arms around me making me giggle.

"Our little boy is growing up so fast." Jonathan says well wiping a fake tear from his eyes. Brock and I laugh as they let go of me.

"Wait why are you so down? Aren't you happy?! You're going to the most advanced music school in the country!" Brock exclaims with little worry in his eyes. I sigh and look to the ground, gripping the bench slightly.

"It's in Los Angeles." Both their mouths form a 'O' shape as they realize. They were speechless to say the least, which doesn't surprise me.

"Does Tyler know?" Jonathan suddenly asks. "He knows about the scholarship but not the moving part." I answer. Jonathan sighs well wrapping his arms around my shoulders well Brock leans his head on my other shoulder.

"You should probably tell him soon, you know Tyler. The sooner you tell him the better it will be." Brock says. I sigh, knowing he was right. "He's gonna be so heartbroken." I trail off. I feel Jonathan's grip on me tighten slightly in a way to comfort me. "We know, we're here for you though okay? You know that right?" Brock says well lifting his head from my shoulder. I chuckle well a tear rolls down my cheek. Brock smiles and wipes it away well wrapping his arms around both Jon and I. "We're a family, we're always there when times are tough. Remember that Craig and when you become a famous pianist make sure to tell everybody that your Good friends Jonathan and Brock helped you along the way." Brock whispers. I whimper at his words as more tears fall from my eyes.

"I love you guys." I sob out well hugging them back. "We love you too."

Tyler's pov

Currently I was at Evan's house with Brian and Lui playing Mario kart when my phone started ringing. I look to see it said unknown number. My anxiety starts to get the better of me so I hand off the controller to Evan who was beside me and answer it.

I walk out of the living room and into the kitchen so I could hear whoever was calling over the yelling coming from the guys.

"Is this Tyler Wilde?" The man on the other side asks. "Yeah, what'd you call for?" I ask politely well leaning back against the counter top. "We called to inform you about a scholarship I believe." He says. My eyes widen as I immediately stand up straight. "What do you mean scholarship?" I ask, hope in my voice. "We want to offer you a scholarship to Eastwood college here in town." He says.
