Chapter 10 ~
I was already up and I was strumming my guitar downstairs in the living room, practicing a bit.
–
She lives in a shadow of a lonely girl,
voices so quiet you don’t hear a word
always talking but she can’t be heard
You can see it there if you catch her eye,
I know she’s brave but it’s trapped inside
scared to stop but she don’t know why
Wish I knew back then what I know now
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice
I’d tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder be a bit prouder
tell her she’s beautiful, wonderful, everything she doesn’t see
You gotta speak up , you gotta shout out
And know that right her right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful anything you wanna be
Little me
Oooh
Yeah you got a lot of time to act your age
Can’t write a book from a single page
Hands on the clock only turn one way
Run too fast and you risk it all
Cant be afraid to take a fall
Felt so big but she looked so small
Wish I knew back then what I know now
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice
I’d tell her to speak out, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder be a bit prouder
tell her she’s beautiful, wonderful, everything she doesn’t see
You gotta speak up , you gotta shout out
And know that right here right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful anything you wanna be
Little Me

I heard someone clap and I quickly looked up. I smiled when I saw who it was. “Hi.” Ryan smiled. “You really have an amazing voice.” He admitted. “Yeah, I know.” I laughed. I placed my guitar on the standard. He walked towards me and gave me a hug. “I know how hard it is for you.” He said, kissing my head. I sighed. “Cuddle with me on the couch?” I asked and he nodded. We sat on the couch and I sat on his lap. He doesn’t think I’m that heavy and I have complained once. We ended up making out so yeah. We sat for a while when I felt tears slip from my cheeks. I hadn’t realized I cried. I sniffled. Getting a holding grip on Ryan his shirt. “Hey, what’s wrong?” He asked. “I just have my moment again.” He made me look at him. “Hey, don’t cry. It did end all good right? Your parents can’t hurt you anymore. You’re here now and we love you. Especially me.” I looked up at him and crashed my lips at his. When I heard someone walking down the stairs I quickly pulled back. I’m glad I did because it was Tyler. “Morning, slept well?” I asked him. He nodded and sat down next to me. “How long have you been up?” He asked me sleepish, I guess he’s still waking up. “Not very long. I sang a song with Ryan, we were just finished when you walked into the room.” I lied, I can’t tell him that I was making out with Ryan.
“All right, let’s go!” My mum called after we ate our breakfast and had a shower. Ryan did ask me to shower together, luckily without having Tyler around, but I refused. Not when Tyler is in the house.
“How does this look?” I asked to my mum. She sighed and looked for a moment. This was our seventh store and I couldn’t choose my clothes. Before she could even start I heard Tyler answer my question. “It suits you. I think you should buy it.” He said, looking dead serious. I nodded. “Thank you, go grab some clothes by yourself, I’ll pay for them.” I said to him when I changed back into my own clothes. He shook his head. “No. You’re not paying for me.” I smiled to him. “Honey, if you don’t pick them by yourself I’ll help you. Even with the dressing.” He just laughed and tried to walk away. “I wouldn’t do that. If I were you I wouldn’t have even finish him and immediately picked some clothes.” Ryan told Tyler. He looked back to me and I smiled. “Do it.” With no responds he walked away. I looked confused. “Was I being too harsh?” I asked my mum. She shook her head. “Not really, but go check on him. When you finished talking we’re going home. We’ve already spend too much.” At the last part she chuckled. I nodded and went to look for Tyler.
I walked outside the store and saw him sitting on a bench. I sat next to him and laid my arm around his shoulder. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you.” I whispered to him. “That’s okay. I don’t like it when people pay for me. I have my own money y’know.” “I know, sorry. You wanna go home?” He nodded. I smiled and we went back to my mum.
“Damien! Care to go to the movie with me?” Tyler walked towards me. I looked up from the book I was reading. “Yeah sure. What time does it start?” I asked him, watching at the clock. “3 pm.” “Well let’s hurry then!”
We walked sat down in the cinema and the movie started 5 minutes later. It turned out to be a romance. I couldn’t help it, but my eyes keep drifting to my right, where Tyler sat. Drifting away I laid my head on his shoulder. I felt him looking towards me but he didn’t say anything. I liked this, when will I be able to tell him that I like him? I saw Tyler looking at his phone. He had a text.
From: Scott
Hey, can I come over at 8? Really want to talk to you. x
Who was he? Why didn’t I ever heard about him? And the most important, why did he close with a x?! I felt a pang of jealousy. Wait a minute… does this mean he is gay too? Or is he just a friend of him. I felt him lay his head on mine. I smiled. Never mind. I just want to enjoy this moment.
“Well, this was a beautiful movie.” Tyler said, “Thank you, for coming with me.” I smiled. “Any time Ty.” We walked towards our bikes. “Do you want to play some games and stay for dinner?” I asked Tyler. “Yeah sure, I’ll text my mother.” He smiled.
“Yes! I totally beat you!” I exclaimed. “Finally!” Tyler stared at the screen. I chuckled. “You lose, deal with it.” He turned his head to me and glared. “Never.” He glared and pressed play again. “I’m so going to beat you.” I shook my head. “No you won’t.” I smiled. Tyler’s phone went and he stood up to walk to the hallway when he say the person who called. His face changed.. There was a flash of happiness. “I’ll be right back.” He said and I nodded. A couple of minutes he returned. “Sorry, that was my mom. She wants me home because I have a visitor.” He said with an sad smile. “Don’t worry, I’ll see you tomorrow?” Tyler nodded and he left.

I slept at the treehouse, it wasn’t that cold plus I had a lot of blankets. My phone went. I got a text from Tyler.
From Tyler:
Hey, you know I had I secret I couldn’t tell? Guess what, I can tell you! Text me when you’re awake!
Well, he’s very happy this morning. I’m wondering what it could be.
To Tyler:
Morning, I’m at the treehouse.
Sorry, it’s short but I’m barely awake okay?
A couple of minutes later I heard someone climb the latter. “Damien, you’re there?” I heard Tyler call. “Yeah, I’m here.” Tyler face appeared and I smiled. “Morning.” “Morning, you slept here? Why didn’t you tell me, I would gladly had joined you.” I shrugged. “Sorry, didn’t think of it. Now, what did you want to tell me?” His face lit up immediately. “First, the reason why I didn’t freak out when you told me you were gay, was because I am too.” He paused to see my reaction. I tried to look happy, but I guess there is more that I wasn’t going to like. “And yesterday Scott called. That’s a boy I’ve been liking for a few months now. Yesterday he came to visit me and asked me if I wanted to be his boyfriend. Guess what? I said yes.” He exclaimed. My heart broke in hundreds of pieces. I probably had a shocked face because he looked worried. “Damien, say something?” He asked me. I shook my head. “Yeah that’s really nice.” I said softly. I smiled to him and left the treehouse. Not knowing what to do. He is the love of my life. Sure I’m happy that he’s gay, that he found him a boyfriend and believe me I want to be happy for him. But I just can’t.. I never thought he would have someone soon. I started to run to my bedroom, seeing Ryan sitting on the couch as I ran past it. A tear slid down my face, I slammed the door shut and I lied down on my bed. I guess Ryan saw me because I heard a knock on my door. “Damien? Damien? Are you okay? What happened?” When I didn’t respond I heard him crack the door open. “Damien, are you okay?” I heard him shutting the door. I felt him lay down behind me and wrapped his arms around me. “Hey, what happened? Want to talk about it?” He asked me softly, slightly kissing my neck. “He has someone Ryan.” I said, starting to sob. “He has a boyfriend Ryan!” I screamed. Ryan tried to calm me down, which didn’t help. Again I heard a knock on the door. “Damien? Why did you ran away?” I heard Tyler. “Go away Tyler!” I yelled at him. “But Da-” I cut him off. “I said go away!” I yelled. I guess he did because I didn’t hear anything anymore. I turned around and started to kiss Ryan. “Dami-” “Don’t you thi- ” “This isn’t a go-” “moment” Ryan tried to say through the kisses. “Just shut up.” I growled.
