"Sebastian, wait!" Tyler called out as he hurried after Sebastian out of house.
Sebastian stopped walking then he quickly turned around to face Tyler, his face twisted in anger.
"If she doesn't want to repair your relationship then it's obvious that you two should break up." He suddenly announced.
Tyler blinked his eyes as he stared at Sebastian, taken back.
"What?"
Sebastian sighed then he walked up to Tyler.
"I'm saying this because you're not happy and she's not happy. I've seen you try and try to put in effort to talk to her and what does she do? She runs away crying and would rather stay at your friend's place than sit down to talk to you. Am I not right?"
Tyler nodded quietly. "I miss her and I really do want to fix things, but how can I when she won't talk to me? I give her space when she wants it and then when I call or go see her to talk things through, we always end up in an argument like right now."
"And it most certainty doesn't help the situation when your friends refuse to step in." Sebastian added. "I stepped in and what do I get? A slap in the face from your 'friends'. I TRY, Tyler. I've really been trying to make amends with your friends, but it's obvious that they don't want to make amends with me."
Tyler shook his head. "They just..." He paused and sighed.
"While your friends have been comforting Abbie, I've been the one that's here listening to you and understanding your part of the relationship, not them." Sebastian told him.
"Sebastian, it's not their fault. Most of them are busy with their own lives." Tyler tried to explain.
"And when they're not busy with their lives, they're busy comforting Abbie instead of you too."
Tyler ran his fingers through his hair as he glanced away. "I feel sorry towards them because they have to put up with our messy relationship." Tyler then looked back at Sebastian.
"And...I'm sorry you have to deal with my mess too. I really am grateful to have you to confide in since I don't have anybody else. Not my family, not my friends, nobody."
Sebastian's lips curled into a small smile. "I'm here for you. Remember that."
Tyler chuckled. "I wish the others and even Abbie could see that you're not the guy they think you are. Yes, you have a tough exterior, but once they really sit down and get to know you, they'll see that you're a good guy."
Sebastian smirked. "Are you getting mushy on me?"
Tyler blinked. "Is...that bad?"
Sebastian shrugged. "Depends on how you want to take it."
Tyler nodded as he rubbed the back of his neck, looking around.
"So...what should we do? I don't think we'll be able to go back to the party. It'll probably be too awkward and I'm sure Abbie is feeling really hurt right now."
"Let's skip the party. I'm sure we probably won't be missed." Sebastian said.
Tyler nodded. "How about we go get some coffee? I need a little pick me up."
At the Hartfeld's coffee shop, Sebastian walks over to a table by the window where Tyler is sitting. He hands Tyler his cup of coffee before sitting down across from him with his own. Sebastian takes a sip of his coffee and notices the look on Tyler's face.
"You're still thinking about Abbie?"
Tyler nodded as he took a sip of his own coffee.
"Tyler, maybe you should focus on something else right now until Abbie is ready to talk to you." Sebastian suggested.
Tyler looked at Sebastian. "Like what? All I can think about is her." 756Please respect copyright.PENANAJyxRWCsy0A
He sighed. "I'm sorry. I'm not being fair towards you."
Sebastian shook his head then he reached out and gently patted Tyler's hand. "I'm here to listen."
Tyler bit down on his bottom lip. "This...might be a weird request, but can you stay with me tonight? After what happened today, I don't want to be alone."
Sebastian nodded. "Of course. Anything you need."
