(kat, tyson) move along

[Mackenzie Janelle Collins]

Mack carried a box of Kat's clothes into the house and into the room that Tyson was letting Kat stay in when she came back and visited. Mack really didn't want Kat to go out to LA, but she understood that she was hurting and needed some space away from Shane. Mack was shocked when Kat told her what happened, and she knew that no one else int eh group had been expecting them of all people to break up. They were kind of perfect for each other. But she could also see how being that perfect with someone could be scary when you were nineteen years old. Mack kind of felt like she'd lucked out meeting Riley. Even though they'd had their fair share of up and downs, and a lot more downs, going forward with him was more exciting then scary because she knew it was what she wanted. She'd been asked a lot of times by various times if she was sure being with the guy who lost his memory and couldn't remember you and had a kid with someone else was really someone she wanted to be with right at the moment. No one would have blamed her if she called it quits, she had plenty of reasons to do so. But she was sure. She was sure that Kat and Shane were one of those people too, that just already knew without having to think about it or discuss it. She'd figured it went without saying that they both knew exactly what was going on. Guess you couldn't underestimate being scared.

Mack set the box down on the bed, opening the flaps and taking out a carefully folded pile of jeans. Mackenzie had packed this box, hence why everything in it was so organized. Mack was trying to avoid the boxes that Kat had packed because they were just messy and things had just been thrown in there. Mack couldn't blame her for wanted to just throw it all in a box and get out of there. Mack opened a drawer, laying the jean sin piles and looked over at Kat, "What day do you think you're going back out to LA, did you book a flight already?" Mack moved over to the bed and sat down, taking out more clothes and sorting them in piles beside her. Tyson was lurking in the other room, kind of being a dick, but what was new. Mack knew from the first day she met Tyson that he was sleezy. She'd met twp people that day. She'd met Riley, who'd been a sweetheart and Mack had known right away that he was special. And she'd met Tyson who had been acting like a suspicious sleeze and Mack had decided, even while drunk, that he was obviously cheating on Kat, if that's what you wanted to call it, since Kat didn't even cont it as a relationship, but whatever. Mack took a deep breath, "I wish you weren't going out there. You have to come visit us a lot, come see Lily. Next time you see her she'll probably be crawling." So much could change by the time Kat came back and visited everyone. Mack hoped it was at least all good changes, since lately everything that happened tended to be on the negative side of things.

[Katy Alexis Sutton]

Kat clicked her tongue as she looked through the room that Tyson had let her keep some of her stuff in. It was really nice of him, all things considered. She’d “dumped”him for Shane, and now after the break up with Shane, he was letting her keep some of her stuff at his place. What kind of guy did that? Maybe he had grown a lot in the last few months. She looked out of the corner of her eye and watched Mackenzie unpacking some of her things, of course hers was all neatly folded. Kat had gone into a throwing frenzy. Being in his apartment had made it feel like all of her air and happiness was being sucked out of her. His apartment was officially the Dementor of her life. She looked up as Mack spoke to her “Well I was supposed to fly out today but my ticket got lost.. which is so weird cause I thought I left it in the kitchen but…whatever, anyways, um soo Tyson got me a flight for tomorrow. Guess I’ll miss Sunday dinner…” she said with a sad smile before she looked back at some of the boxes she was unpacking. She’d done everything she could to make sure she didn’t pack anything that reminded her of Shane. But that was starting to be everything. Kat smiled as Mackenzie spoke about Lily. “ You sound like her mother already,” she said, lifting her eyebrow in Mackenzie’s direction. She was glad that Mack and Riley were working things out. Crazy shit might have happened to them but they deserved to be happy, they deserved each other. They weren’t afraid of love, and to let love hurt them. She looked away quickly, not wanting to think about Shane anymore.

“ It’s just the right thing to do. I mean when Riley was in his accident and I came home.. it’s not fair to the fans that I completely bailed on the tour. So I need to make it up to them, I mean I owe them a lot, ya know?” she questioned as she looked up at Mack and smiled brightly. “ The tour will be great, I’m super excited.It should be full ofsurprises.. and the Los Angeles office is just like a… you know like a totally smarter idea to help kickstart the tour. Plus, the other bands label is there. Tyson’s label is there, and he’s really doing me a solid by making some special appearances for the tour. I mean I think the fans will be excited,” she nodded again before she smiled at Mack, which was stupid. You couldn’t shit a shitter. She took in a deep breath and smiled even brighter, if she could, “ Anyways, I’m totally gonna visit all the time, Ty’s letting me stay here whenever I want so that’s pretty kick ass” she said before she looked back at some of the boxes.

[Tyson Jay Ritter]

Tyson laid his head back against the couch out of frustration and annoyance.How long could it take to unpack your shit, especially when you were like Kat and didn’t honestly give a rats ass where anything was. Ordinarily she would have just came in and dropped her stuff off, but it seemed like her friend was influencing her to put things away. Whatever, she’d leave eventually and he’d have the rest of the night to spend withKat. She thought she was leaving that night, funny. At least he had managed to swipe her plane ticket and then offered to buy her a ticket for tomorrow. Not exactly cheap, but he was hoping it would be worth it. Finally he stood up off of the couch and headed into the room, leaning against the doorway. He listened as Kat talked about the tour and felt himself smile. He’d managed to tag himself along on that as well. Her boyfriend- sorry, ex-boyfriend had just gotten back from tour. Those guys had a pretty damn good fanbase but he still had a hard time seeing them as anything that compared to his band. Kat had said a lot of hurtful things about that when she left him, that Shane was truly talented and that he himself had been a sell-out. Whatever. It wasn’t selling out if people liked it, it was giving them what they wanted. Like Kat… she seemed to want a guy that she had thought matured. And she was now capable of relationships, she’d been in one with Shane. So a ‘matured’ guy was what she would get.

“ Your tour is going to be amazing Kat,.. I’m honored that you are letting me share the stage with you for a few of the performances,” he grinned as he watched her. Even in a state of emotional wreck she looked gorgeous to him. He grinned as Kat smiled at him and leaned away from the doorframe. “But look like I said.. my place is your place. Don’t hesitate to ask for anything. I mean, we’ve lived together before so… if you give me a heads up I can try to stock your favorites in the kitchen,” He regretted it as he said it, because it seemed like Kat instantly froze in place and tightened her jaws. She didn’t say anything though before she went back to unpacking; but also packing a suitcase for Los Angeles at the same time. He looked back over at Mackenzie, he remembered her from the bonfire when they met. She was dating that guy that had almost turned into roadkill and lost his memories trying to save some kid. “ We’re going to be have quite a few drinks later tonight if you want to stick around,”

[Mackenzie Janelle Collins]

Mack nodded, looking away from Kat. She lost her ticket. On Tyson's kitchen counter. Right. Mackenzie immediately wondered what Tyson did with it. Probably shredded it, or burned it. Or shredded it and then burned the shreds. That guy was seriously so awful. "Yeah, so weird.." she murmured, standing up and placing the rest of the clothes away int he dresser. That looked like everything. Mack turned back around to face Kat who had made a comment about Lily. Mack sighed, thinking. "You know what, oddly enough that doesn't bother me like I thought it would." She watched Kat seriously. She wondered what other people thought about that. Like if people thought it was weird, or if they thought Mack was over stepping her boundary. Mack just didn't see it like that, she loved Riley and Lily was his, so therefore she loved Lily. But she'd still want someone to tell her if they thought she was crossing a line. Kat explained about the tour, and how nice Tyson was being, as if he was such a sweetheart, giving her his time out of his busy schedule. Please. He just wanted to get in her pants. Mack however, smiled, "That's great Kat, make sure I get a ticket to your show out here."

Tyson had come in and leaned in the doorway, trying so hard to seem like a nice guy. He just made Mackenzie want to vomit. Mack saw right through his facade. She knew he was a dick. As soon as he said his comment about the refrigerator, Mack almost winced, looking at Kat and seeing his mistake as he said it. So many things for Kat were going to such touchy subjects since she and Shane shared so much. Clothes, food, music, beds, game controllers... Tyson was in for a rude awakening if he thought he could just weasel his way back in with Kat like it was no big deal, because Kat was honestly hurt because of a break up. Tyson didn't realize just how bad it was on her. Mack looked right at him when he spoke, trying to read him. The way he gave that cheesy grin, Mack knew he was well aware that she didn't like him. And he assumed that Mack would politely decline. Well, he was wrong. She was going to politely accept. And since he made her want to vomit, she was going to invite Ryan since both he and Kat were supposed to wallowing but for some reason he wasn't and Mack wanted to get to the bottom of it. Maybe if he was drunk she could get that mute boy to talk. "Thanks, I think I will come along if you both don't mind. So me and Kat can hang out before she goes." Mack smiled at Kat. Mack genuinely did want to hang out with Kat before she flew out tomorrow. She was one of her really close friends, however unexpected that had been. Plus Mack wasn't about to leave Kat alone with Tyson, he was just too conniving. "I'm gonna call Ryan and get him to come out with us too."

[Katy Alexis Sutton]

Kat watched Mackenzie as they spoke about Lily and how it didn’t seem to bother Mack as much as she thuoght it would. She smiled and shrugged her shoulder. “ It suits you. You guys are like this little family already. And I can tell it means a lot by the way Riley watches you two,” she said with a nod. Riley, for the most part, was a really good guy. He had a few moments where she wondered what in the hell he was thinking, but didn’t they all? “ I mean if Shane had a kid when we met, I wouldn’t have changed a damn thing about how he and I got involved with each other.. I think you’re totally in the right on this one,” Kat grinned as Mack talked about the shows, “ Trust me… ‘ Talented, beautiful, trust fund baby- in the nicest sense- dancing blonde with a baby on her hip and a boy wrapped around her finger is at the top of every VIP list I will ever have. You’re stuck with me, kid” she said before she winked at her. Kat looked back at Tyson and Mackenzie as they spoke about plans tonight. It was always nice to see friends from two different worlds putting their differences aside and getting along.

Shane used to pack the fridge of all of her favorites. Mainly popsicles. She bit the inside of her cheek as she turned away from them, throwing some more of her things into her luggage a bit more roughly. Awesome, so now she couldn’t do anything without thinking about him. How much could more pain, really hurt? Kat clicked her tongue a few times in thought, trying to distract herself with what to pack when she heard Mack say she was inviting Ryan. Kat smiled and clapped her hands quietly. “ Ry!” That boy probably had no idea he was one of the most loved guys in the group by all of the girls. He just had this overwhelming aura of chill and happiness. “ Good… it’ll be good to say bye to him,” Kat crossed her arms as she looked at the both of them. ”… I’m gonna go call Ryan real quick then so I can ask him,”. She moved between the two of them and ran downstairs to pick her up her phone excitedly to call Ryan.

[Tyson Jay Ritter]

Tyson had sort of planned out how the evening would go. Mackenzie would leave, he’d take Kat out to the bar. She’d have a few drinks, start talking about Shane and then suddenly she’d need someone to comfort her. And hell, who better than himself. He smiled as he looked at Mackenzie, but instead of denying the invite she accepted it and he felt his smile sort of freeze in place. “ So you’re coming?” he repeated, with a slight bit of shock. But he didn’t have much time to reflect on that since just seconds later she said she would invite Ryan, and Kat seemed happier than a clam about this revelation. Tyson on the other hand kept his eyes locked on Mackenzie. Well played, Barbie. He thought to himself. “ Well..” he started off, crossing his arms over his chest as he looked at her. “ More the merrier, right?”.

Tyson wasn’t an idiot. She didn’t like him. He wasn’t crazy about her. But he really, really hadn’t expected Ryan to be invited. And he wasn’t born under a rock. He knew by Ryan they meant Ryan O’Neil. Otherwise known as Madeline’s Ryan, well what had been Madeline’s Ryan. Ryan that was Shane’s best friend. Awesome. The only thing worse than having the ex boyfriend in attendance, was having the ex boyfriends best friend. “ I’m sure she’s going to miss you,” he said, bullshitting his way through small talk. She didn’t care what he had to say, he didn’t care how she responded. It was sort of funny to see the preppy rich girls get all hardcore and think they were ripping you a new one. If anything it just offered amusement. Cause in all reality, he hadn’t done anything to Kat. Well, aside from the plane ticket. Everything else was a series of her choices.

[Mackenzie Janelle Collins]

Mackenzie sat leaned back against the dresser, looking at Tyson. He thought he was such a smooth guy. But Mack was only making sure her friend didn't get hurt by a dipshit like him. She stared at him, her face blank. Most people recognized it as her ice cold, I don't exactly think I like you much, look. But he knew she didn't like him. And if he thought she was going to waste her time lecturing him, he was wrong. Mack wasn't one of those girls that sat there and talked like she thought what she had to say was going to scare him off. Tyson was a leech, he'd hang onto you until he got what he wanted from you. Mackenzie wasn't about to waste her words on him. "I'm sure she will. Of course it goes both ways, not like any of us want her to go. But it's understandable. She just broke up with someone, you know. She's hurt. Fragile, one might say. I'd hate to see anyone take advantage of that. I'm sure you'd agree." Mack shrugged, smiling. Just being in the same room as him gave her the creeps, so she walked out, patting him on the shoulder, "See ya downstairs." She gave him a lasting smile and then left him standing there. She could care less if he liked her or thought she was stuck up or whatever. He friends knew the type of girl she was, knew she wasn't some bratty trust fund baby. She just cared more about Kat then she did about being cordial with Tyson. And while she would never outwardly be rude to him, she didn't really need to either. Just the fact that she and Ryan were tagging along told Tyson he was being watched. He wasn't an idiot, Mack was sure he could figure that out.

Mack caught up with Kat, grabbing her purse. "I gotta change, wanna meet there? I'll pick up Ryan on my way after I go to my place real quick." Mack hugged Kat good bye, "Hey, take care of yourself. I know Tyson is being cool about this, but don't forget other stuff he's done in the past, okay?" Mack shrugged, hugging her again and kissed the side of her head before she turned to leave. "Love you. Bye Tyson, see you soon!" She yelled before she closed the door, just for good measure. Whatever, he could just take the stick out of his ass and deal with it. He was not getting any ass tonight.

[Katy Alexis Sutton]

Kat talked on the phone with Ryan for a few minutes, trying to tip toe around the subject of Shane, while at the same time figure out how he was doing.But after they had hung up, Mackenzie was already making a b-line for the door and talking about how she needed to change.”Totally,” Kat nodded but then smiled and shook her head. ”Mack, Tyson and I never even officially dated. He didn’t do anything wrong necessarily” she said, but she knew how most everyone felt about Tyson. “Love you, too” she said , watching Mackenzie leave. Mackenzie was the last person Kat had expected to be friends with, but she was glad that they were. Mackenzie knew how to be damn loyal to the people she cared about. Kat shook her hand and headed upstairs to grab her things and come downstairs.

It seemed like it was a long time later, but maybe maybe it wasn’t all that long. But about four drinks later she was standing outside of the bar that she was supposed to meet Mackenzie out. ‘We’re finally here, I’m sorry’ she texted her before she came into the bar and stood on her toes to look for Ryan and Mackenzie. It looked like they were in a pretty deep conversation; but Mack was like Barbara Walters. She could get you to talk about anything. “Ryan!” she screamed out happily before she ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him. “I swear you’re so tall I’m going to start calling you beanstalk. I could climb you and on my way I’d run into giants and murderers” Kat squeezed him tightly before she leaned over to the bar and ordered a drink for herself.

[Tyson Jay Ritter]

Tyson smirked to himself as Mackenzie left the room. If she didn’t come with such a high pricetag, he probably would have thought she was entertaining enough to chase after for a while. At any rate, they were all going out tonight. Including Ryan. Awesome. “ See you soon” he called back to her before he went to change the shirt he was wearing to something else. Just because he was meeting Mackenzie and Riley at the bar with Kat didn’t mean that was the first place he had to take her. He ran through a list of bars in his head mind that were close to the bar he and Kat were going to. It wasn’t long after Mackenzie had left that Tyson was opening the door of a cab for Kat and following her inside.

For having a few drinks, at a quick speed, Kat was pretty damn persistent on seeing her friends. He kept trying to tell her they’d leave ‘after one more drink’,but apparently she’d had enough and was going to make it a mission to find her friends on her own. He watched as he saw Mackenzie, and the tall guy that had to be Ryan O’Neil. Admittedly, he liked the guys music. “Sorry we’re late,we stopped to get a few drinks and lost track of time,” he called out over the music before he nodded at Mackenzie. He looked at Ryan, knowing that they didn’t really need to introduce himself so he wasn’t going to be a prick and introduce himself like a fucking tool, hand shake, first and last name. Retarded.

[Mackenzie Janelle Collins]

Mack sat at the bar with Ryan, checking the time on her cell phone for about the fiftieth time. "Ryan, I swear to god, that guy is bad news. If he does not bring her in ten minutes were are tracking her down because I do not trust that scumbag, no good, asshole, prick, piece of sh-" "Mack." Ryan placed hi hand on her shoulder, "Yes, if they don't show up we will go find her and make sure she's fine. I'm sure she is, I don't think she'd let Tyson do anything sleezy anyways..." Ryan shook his head and Mack crossed her arms, looking towards the door. Mack should have not let Kat out of her sight, she should have just made Kat go with her to her place and made stupid Tyson meet them here. Mack took a sip of her drink and then rested her chin in her hand. "So, Ryan. You seem oddly fine. Happy even. Do I need to remind you that you're supposed to be depressed and wallowing in self pity because your girlfriend left you and married some other guy?" Ryan said in mock seriousness, "Oh, well when you say it like that..." Ryan shook his head at her, "Must you be so ruthless? I was just beginning to heal, and you bring it up again, only to rub salt in my wounds." "Oh please. You cried over it for like a day and it wasn't even weird at dinner on Sunday. You think you can fool everyone, but not me. What is going on?" Ryan scoffed, throwing his hands up, "Nothing, seriously. She's happy, that's fine. I moved on. Any other questions?" Mack crossed her legs at the ankle, looking at Ryan seriously and said quietly, "Did you notice that bruise on her arm?" Mack took a sip of her drink tentatively while she watched Ryan's expression go from annoyance to blank. "Yeah, I thought so." Ryan looked away, and saw Kat coming through the door, and promptly changed the subject, "Oh there's Kat, see she's fine. She even looks happy, kind of." Mack looked at her, smiling and as Kat hugged Ryan, Mack got a whiff of alcohol coming off her friend. "Had a drink already, Kat?" Ryan laughed, looking at Mack who had turned to look at Tyson, her eyes cold as ice. Ryan kicked her under the bar, mouthing the words, "Be nice," to her. "Hey Tyson, that took quite a while..." Mack smiled at him for a split second before turning away. Of course he was going to get her as drunk as possible and probably take advantage of her. Creep.

[Ryan James O'Neil]

Ryan had obviously been eager to change the subject off of himself and Madeline. One because if he said anything at all, he'd blow their cover and secondly because he was talking to the resident Barbara Walters and he knew anything he said she'd read into it like fucking Nancy Drew and make assumptions. And mostly likely make correct assumptions. Mackenzie would be the first one to notice if they were acting suspicious, and right on cue, she'd been noticing. Not to mention Ryan didn't thin anyone else had saw the bruise on Madeline's arm and while he could easily tell her he knew nothing about it since that made the most sense with his story, the fact that she had a bruise was more unsettling to him then she needed to know so talking about it would be a huge give away. Besides, he was sure Mack was wondering the same thing about the bruise as he was. Kat had come right over and hugged him before ordering herself another drink. Ryan just shook his head at Mack. He understood she had good intentions, but she needed to chill out. There were two of them and one of him, nothing was going to happen to Kat.

Ryan nodded and gave a quick hey to Tyson, before drinking out of his glass and looked at Kat, "Okay, so apparently Mack thinks were the new President and Vice President of the Sob and Wallow club, but she just needs to loosen up. Probably just dance a little. I bet she'd be glad if you dragged her happy little ass to the dance floor, I think she's sad your leaving." Ryan laughed, pointing at Mack, "Go on, I know your games. Go see how many guys you can get to buy you both drinks." Ryan shook his head, sitting back in his chair. Though Tyson seemed harmless enough at the moment, Ryan didn't think Kat really needed to be around another guy like this. One, because Ryan wouldn't put it past Tyson to take advantage of Kat, since she was already drunk at his hands, and secondly because at the end of the day, sure Kat told Tyson she'd hang out with him, but it wasn't like they'd been buddy buddy lately. at would be sad if she hadn't hung out with her real friends before she left. And as much as they wouldn't say it out loud, because on the surface they were so different, Kat and Mack were really close. They probably needed girl time and if it weren't for Tyson weaseling his way in, this would probably have been a girls night. Ryan just figured, let the girls night commence.

[Katy Alexis Sutton]

Kat took a sip from her drink and smiled as Ryan started talking to her. If the world had treated them differently, and she’d never met Shane, Ryan would have been the guy in the group she had set her target on. But Shane was in her life and he was.. Shane. Perfect. And Ryan was one of the best guy friends you could ask for. “ If we’re President and Vice President, I’m making you President. You can just boss me around,”. Kat leaned in as Ryan spoke, nodding at him seriously as he talked about going out to dance with Mackenzie. “ Are you fucking kidding me? More guys will buy Mack drinks hands down. Comparing me to her is like.. comparing… that lady from the Munsters to Barbie… I mean, maybe I could get more chicks to buy me drinks. But that’s only cause I’m sluttier” she said as she picked her drink upand took a few drinks.

“Mack!” she said excitedly before she pointed to the dance floor and tilted her head towards it. Kat sat her drink down and smiled at Ryan, placing her hands on both of his cheeks.”You are fucking precious.” she leaned in and kissed his cheek as she hugged him,wrapping her arms around his neck tightly. “ How do you pretend to be so happy?” she questioned him quietly. Ryan was probably one of the only people she would openly talk to about being heartbroken. “ It breaks my heart every time I smile..” she picked her drink up and tilted her head back to finish it quickly. Each drink was a drink closer to forgetting about Shane, right? Doubtful. She winked at him before she took Mack by the hand and ran out to the dance floor.

[Tyson Jay Ritter]

Tyson smiled at Mackenzie as she spoke to him, “Like I said, time got away from us. My apologies”. He watched carefully as Kat walked up to Ryan and hugged him. Ryan had just gotten out of a relationship too,… but there wasn’t a chance in hell that Ryan was a threat. I mean it would be really low to date your best friends ex. Plus, he was probably still hung up on Madeline. But who wouldn’t be. Hot girls grew up like weeds in that damn group of theirs. He smirked as Ryan pretty much convinced Kat to go out and dance with Mackenzie, away from him. Tyson wasn’t a moron, but at the end of the night Kat would be staying at his place. She could have all the fun she wanted to out at the bar.

Tyson ordered himself a beer and told the bartender to put everyone elses’ drinks on his tab before he turned and looked at Ryan. “ Sorry to hear about you and Madeline, man” he said in all honesty. He had asked Madeline out on a date, but she made it obvious that he was in the friend zone and since then they really had been friends, and that’s it. He hadn’t tried to make a move on her at all, which was pretty strange considering his past behavior. “ I mean she was pretty torn up about it when she thought that you , you know.. that misunderstanding. I don’t really understand girls when they’re crying and trying to talk at the same time. But.. no one can seriously think that marriage is going to last. Not when she’s still in love with you. Anyone can talk to her for two minutes and see that.” he hoped that things worked out for them because Madeline deserved to be happy. “And uh.. I’m sorry for your friend Shane,too.”

[Ryan James O'Neil]

Ryan nodded, sliding his glass back and forth across the counter between his hands. To be completely honest, Ryan didn't think Tyson was that bad of a guy. Yeah he kind of slept around a lot and treated women poorly sometimes, but you couldn't be an asshole every hour of the day. And Tyson was nice to Madeline, actually nice to her. Madeline would have told Ryan if Tyson had hit on her or made a move on her, but she said they were just friends and Ryan believed Madeline. And judging by the way Tyson was speaking now, he believed him when he said he felt bad about what had happened with Madeline. As long as he treated Madeline right while they were friends, then the guy was alright in his book. He hadn't struck out yet, Ryan figured he deserved a chance to fuck up before Ryan wrote him off. And to be honest, Ryan wasn't sure Shane even really hated the guy, he just figured Shane didn't like the way he had treated Kat, however unserious she had said it was. But that was just because Shane actually loved Kat and respected her, so seeing a guy treat her like that of course wouldn't make him all that excited. But Shane knew where she was tonight and who she was with and being honest, Shane sounded glad that she had somewhere to stay at all where she felt welcome. Maybe there wasn't as much animosity there as everybody thought.

Ryan nodded, "Yeah, I'm sorry too. I mean, I wish she just wouldn't have jumped into something so permanent. I just never wanted her to have any regrets, but marriage is kind of serious. I guess she has her reasons." Ryan shrugged, None of that was a lie. Tyson even said he was sorry about Shane and Kat. That however, Ryan wondered about the sincerity of, but wasn't going to question him. "Yeah, I think it kind of shocked everyone. They were kind of... I don't really know the word for it. Kat and Shane were like, serious without discussion. They never talked about it, it was just kind of effortless. I mean, I get why they broke up, I just think it's stupid. Don't let go of people you love. Being scared is just a mindset, put your big kid pants on and get over it, you know?" Ryan took a swig of the drink in his hand, looking over at Mack and Kat on the dance floor who already had some meat head guys who looked like they were from the Jersey Shore all over them. That was what, a minute tops? Impressive, ladies. "Hey, don't take anything Mack says personally. I mean, she'll will absolutely give you a hard time, but she means well. She's just a really, fucking, good friend. She's really nice, though, just wait 'til she gets a few drinks in her." Ryan laughed, watching the show that was Mackenzie and Kat string along those guys like they were getting paid to mess with them.

[Tyson Jay Ritter]

Tyson narrowed his eyebrows as he watched the guys already hovering over Mackenzie and Kat. They were such a different kind of hot, that he was sure they’d get attention based on the fact of how different they were. But it was just weird to see them hover like that. Seriously guys?Guidos? What part of either of them looked like they would go for a guido. Tyson looked back at Ryan as he talked about Madeline, “ Man you’re good friends with her so I’m sure you know all about it… That marriage is more fake than half the boobs in this place,” he said, taking a drink from his beer. “ She needed citizenship, but I really wish she hadn’t picked that guy. Between you and me.. she’s uh.. well he’s not the only one she’s seeing.” he said as he looked back over at Ryan. “ The weirdest fucking thing happened the other day though. Her husband knows that we’re friends he did this really fucking weird thing where he came to talk to me before one of my shows and had a drink or whatever, talked about how we both had Madeline’s best interest at heart, blah blah blah. I called her phone like.. a day later, and I swear to god man.. it was like.. I know she was in the background. But it sounded like crying.And he had this eerie fucking calm as he talked on the phone. He said she wasn’t there but.. I know she was, I just have this gut feeling. I don’t understand it,” he said, obviously still perplexed as he kept his eyes on Mackenzie and Kat out on the dance floor.

Tyson sighed as Ryan talked about Shane and Kat. He wasn’t going to lie to anyone, given the opportunity he would sleep with Kat. But she was a big girl that made her own decisions, he wouldn’t sleep with someone who didn’t want to sleep with him. He was friends with her; not in the sense that he was friends with Madeline, but he was friends with her. He just happened to want to sleep with her. But that didn’t mean he wanted to see her sad. “ Kat has a huge issue with commitment and it sounds like Shane was from the same cloth. She’s running right now, and she’s trying to find home. But the way she talks about Shane, it’s going to lead her right back to him cause I’m pretty sure that’s where her home is. Even if both of them are too scared to realize it. Or they do realize it. And that’s why they’re scared,”. He looked back at Ryan as he talked about Mackenzie and nodded, looking out at the girls. “ I think her bark is worse than her bite. But I get it. It’s just kind of entertaining. She thinks I’m a dirtbag. I’m just buying Kat the drinks. She’d drink whether I was paying for it or not. She’s going to make her own choices,”
