Through The Storm

Chris Breaks Down

"I wonder what's going to happen." Tyler says as he sits on the bed.
"Me too." You says sitting next to him.
"So seriously, are you going to be alright?" He asks you.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. I just have some thinking to do and things to figure out." You tell him.
"Well, if you want to talk about it I'm here." He says softly.
"Thanks Tyler, but I really don't want to put anybody else in the middle of this." You say sadly.
"I just don't want you to never come back. We all love you and love having you here." He admits.
"Well thank you Tyler, but right now I'm not entirely sure what's going to happen." You say thinking about what happened outside.

Just then Chris comes into the room slamming the door shut.
"Woah, what's wrong?" Tyler asks.
Chris walks up to you grabs your shoulders and pulls you into a hug.
"Chris, what's going on?" You ask him.
Just as you finish asking what's wrong he starts to sob.
"This can't be real." He says.
"What happened?" Tyler asks joining the hug.
"He- he- he said they've been fucking since she came to visit, and it's been continuously, not just here and there. She's been sneaking over at least once a week sometimes more." He says crying into your shoulder.
The sharp pain from the words cuts you like a knife but you hold yourself together for Chris.
"It's alright Chris." You say consoling him like he did for you. "They aren't worth it." You whisper.
"Can we just go to sleep?" Chris asks puffy eyed.
"Of course." You and Tyler respond.

You roll over softly to see if the boys are asleep yet and they are. You sneak out of bed and out of the bedroom to Bryan's room.

As you tiptoe down the hallway you almost turn back around. May be confronting him wasn't a good idea but you needed to say what was on your mind.

You stand in front of his door for a few minutes before putting your hand on the doorknob.
Just as you go to open the door it flys open, the rush of air from it opening making your hair flow up from your shoulders.
