A/N: I know this took forever, with school and finals and a lot of other crap I've been really busy. But updates should be more often, and this story is currently my main focus until they show the rest of season 4 in America. Now read….?
I crashed at Sean's house for the rest of the night, since I didn't feel like anything else. Not like I could do anything with anyone else. Sean was one of the few people I'd refer to as a friend. My only other real friends were the ones who worked with me at the rental shop on the beach and they were several years older than I was, so I couldn't really talk to them about anything unimportant. Sean was the exact opposite. I could hang out with him and just talk about anything, even if he didn't quite understand it.
"Tyler, wanna go and see a movie or something? It's duller than hell here." A still slightly groggy Sean asked from the couch. We'd been spending the morning watching even more old movies, too lazy to get off the couches.
"Whatever." I deadpanned. To my surprise, Sean stood up. I thought he would have just sat there, talking about it, rather than actually do anything.
He furrowed his eyebrows and frowned at me. "Tyler, get off your ass." I rolled my eyes and dragged my limbs from the couch.
An hour later I found myself sipping a can of root beer in the local gas station. So this was Sean's idea of getting out. Original, let me tell you. Sean was sitting on the broken stool next to me, stuffing down a breakfast of soggy pancakes drenched in syrup. The place should have been torn down years ago, but it was the only store in Wasaga that had a small diner and gas station in one, so nobody complained.
As I started on my second can of root beer, my thoughts wandered to yesterday's events. Namely, the red head. Ellie. She was so different from any girl I'd met before, personality wise. She wasn't just some brainless blonde who sat around giggling with her friends over the latest Teen Vogue or the cute guy behind her in English. There was more to her… And I needed to know more about her.
For once, Sean knew more about something than I did.
So I decided to try and extract some information out of him. Subtly, of course, because Sean's not a big enough idiot to not understand something blunt.
"So, tell me man, what did you do that made that chick we saw yesterday so pissed?" I inserted some of his terms so he'd understand and not jump to any conclusions.
Sean swallowed a mouth full of pancakes and stopped his fork from putting in another. He looked over at me. Come on Sean, Tyler wants to know about the mystery girl.
"W-When I lived in Toronto, she lived with me. We were pretty serious, and then I moved back here… And kinda left her there alone." He went back to eating and I was left with an interesting story. So Sean had screwed up and left the girl stranded. Why did he come back here of all places? Wasaga was the biggestshit pit in all of Canada, everyone here was practically begging to get out.
I stayed quiet for the rest of the time we were in the gas station, even though my mind was screaming for more information of the history regarding Cameron's girl. After Sean had finished pigging out on waffles, we paid for our food and wandered out of the gas station. I took a seat on the curb as Sean stretched and yawned.
"So where to next Cameron?" I mumbled, throwing a few small rocks across the street.
"I dunno, the beach?" I shrugged and stood up. We started walking down the road in silence, until, Sean started talking out of the blue.
"I think I might ask her to come move in with me." He commented, burying his hands in the pockets of his jeans.
"Who? Redhead? Or the blonde who drove her up here?" I smirked. Sean apparently didn't think it was very funny.
"Quit being a pain in the ass Tyler. I'm talking about Ellie, the redhead. It could be the same as when we were back in Toronto." He grinned, probably remembering something I was enlightened on.
Hmm… Having Ellie come live with Sean? I could benefit from that. Maybe for once, I should help Cameron out.
"That would be a good gesture." I remarked, nodding my head.
Sean stopped walking and gave me a shocked look. I stopped and stared at him.
"Did you actually just agree with me on something?" He asked. Maybe Sean wasn't such an idiot after all.
"I guess so. It's your lucky day." I sneered. He rolled his eyes and started walking again. Whew, that was close. "But it's a little soon to ask her to move him, I mean, come on, she's only been here to visit once."
"Then what should I do Faubio?" Sean kicked a rock along the street.
"Invite her to Michael Wilson's party next weekend, she can come spend the weekend here." I suggested. Sean stayed quiet for a few moments.
"Alright. I'll do it. Thanks Tyler, I owe you one man." He grinned. It was surprisingly fun to play Cameron right under his nose. We spent the rest of the journey silent, him kicking his rock, and me, well, wondering about a certain red-headed friend.
