A few hours later I have stitches and am sitting on the couch at Ty's house with nick and Ty while Mrs. Wheeler, Ms. Ritter, and my father squabble over what they should do.
I lean into Ty and say, "You said you wouldn't let him take me. You promised."
He kisses the top of my head, "And have I ever broken a promise? No I haven't. Do not doubt me Jamey Auburn; I refuse to let you down."
Nick puts his arm around me, "We'll figure something out James. Alex will never hurt you again."
"I don't care if he hurts me, I just can't lose you."
Suddenly Ms. Ritter walks through the door, "Jamey go with Nick and Tyson. We'll tell you what's going on the second we can." Then she leaves again. We get up and start walking towards Nick's house.
We get back to Nicks and just sit. "I have to sleep, "Nick says, "The floor of the basement's terrible. Please wake me up if something even slightly... I can't say unusual... Bad... Happens," he says then walks up the stairs to his room.
"Bad... What else could possibly happen that makes this any worse?" Ty rolls his eyes.
"Don't jinx it!" I shout slapping his arm.
"Oh... Sorry," He says.
I sit on the couch and turn on the TV. "Wowww Nick," I say as SpongeBob comes on.
"Oh I love this show!" Ty says plopping down next to me and singing along to the theme song.
I laugh and sing with him. He looks over at me, his blue eyes sparkling.
By the fifth episode I'm laying on the couch with my head in Ty's lap and my stomach hurts from laughing. Mostly because of Ty attempting to mimic the voices.
He looks down at me and I find myself trapped in his gaze again. "I love you," He whispers.
"I love you too," I whisper back.
Slowly I sit up and he brings his forehead to mine. We sit like that taking each other in then his lips are pressed to mine and I can't think of anything else. He wraps his arms around me and we fall back. We sit, kissing like that until someone behind us clears their throat.
I sit up suddenly, turning around in the process. Nick's standing there, blushing slightly.
I comb my hair with my fingers and Tyson sighs and looks down, clearly embarrassed.
"I didn't mean to interrupt," Nick says. "I just thought... I didn't... I mean... My mom could have walked in at any second. I won't tell." his blush reddens.
"It's ok. It's not like anything else was gonna happen," Ty says.
"It just got really quiet... I thought something might have happened..." Nick says.
"Ohhhh... noooo..." Tyson trails off.
The front door opens and Nick comes and sits next to me. He fixes a piece of my hair and we all turn to the TV.
Mrs. Wheeler walks in and looks at us, "My, you three are quiet."
Tyson, Nick, and I laugh. "What's going on with Jamey?" Nick asks.
"She can stay here or Tyson's for a week then we'll figure out what'll happen.
"I have money," I say, "In a checking account all of my Mom's money went to me. I don't quite know what it'll do but, I just don't want to go back to living with Alex and I really don't want to go into foster care."
She shakes her head, "That's not going to happen."
I sigh. What I really want at this moment is to go somewhere with Tyson but Nick will follow.
"It's going to be ok," she says before leaving the room.
Nick sits awkwardly on the couch next to us. "I sent in the demo," He says.
"And?" Tyson asks, excitement creeping into his voice.
"Don't know yet. I just sent it. I'm feeling pretty confident though." he leans back.
"You know I could stay like this forever. Both my guys, just sitting and watching TV. No conflict, no pain, just... Pure contempt." I say putting my arms around both of them.
Nick smiles, "You know, me too. I don't care what happens, just as long as our friendship stays."
Ty smiles too, "Same. You guys are my best friends. I say we just live in the moment."
And that's exactly what we do.
So this is the last chapter :) I hope you liked it, comment if you think I should write a sequel, thanks!
Oh and I don't own The All-American Rejects, none of this ever happened (Although that would be pretty freaking amazing) annnnnnd, yea, that's it. Thanks! :)
