[Kayla]

[Tyler James Kingsley]

Tyler stood with his hands on his hips, looking around his room that he had just moments ago tore apart into destruction. He couldn't find his iPhone anywhere, which really wasn't that surprising. Tyler wasn't the most responsible of people, but at least he had fun, right? Tyler picked up a pile of clothes, looking under it and let them drop carelessly before her heard an angry voice from the hallway, "Tyler James! What on earth happened in here?" Tyler turned around, eyebrows raised and looked at his mom, "Umm... I was just looking for something." Tyler's mom crossed her arms, glaring at him, "Misplace something else? I can't imagine what it is this time." Tyler paused for a second, deciding whether he should tell his mom he lost his cell phone or make something up. He decided on neither, "You know mom, I think I left it at Kayla's... so I'm just gonna go over there and get it," he said, sliding passed her in the doorway, grinning. "Get what exactly? And no you are not, not before you pick all this up. Tyler." Tyler booked it down the stairs before she tried to ground him or something. As if she was really going to ground someone who was almost 18 in a few months. "Tyler! You better be back before dinner!" "Yeah, yeah okay ma!" Tyler shook his head, grabbing his skateboard where he'd left it by the front door and slam the door behind him, jumping off the stoop, missing all the steps. His mom would be so pissed if she knew he lost his phone since it was his fourth one. He'd dropped one from a very high height, dropped one in the toilet and lost one... that one he never found. But if it wasn't in his own house there was only one other place it would be. Which was at Kayla's. Tyler threw his skateboard down and hopped on, pushing off the sidewalk to get some speed. Lucky for him Kayla didn't live far, just down the street.

Tyler couldn't count the number of times he'd gone up and down this sidewalk going to or from Kayla's house. They'd been best friends since they were old enough to understand what best friends was. They knew everything about each other, there wasn't a secret between them. No boundaries to be seen anywhere actually. Tyler reached up and turned his hat backwards, wiping the sweat from his brows. It was way too hot. Two more houses and he'd be there in the air conditioning, that sounded awesome right now. He rolled his skateboard to a stop, hopping off and stepped on the back, flipping it up into his hand and he picked it up, taking Kayla's steps two at a time before he opened the door, "Kayla? Have you seen my cell phone? Cuz I lost it and I think my mom might actually kill me this time if I don't find it. Hey Brianna," Tyler set his skateboard down, kicked his shoes off and went upstairs, taking the step multiple at a time and then headed down the hall to her room. "Hey, seriously, you gotta tell me you know exactly where it- what are you doing." It wasn't so much a question but a, are you really all holed up in your room on a day like today rehearsing lines? "Still rehearsing? Kayla you know those lines backwards, you could probably do them in your sleep," he teased, plopping down on her bed, looking at her with a grin. She may be crazy dedicated, but she was gonna be on Broadway. Everyone knew it.

“ Kayla!!” her mother screamed from downstairs, causing Kayla to lower the script in her hands and look towards the door. “ Kayla, sweetheart I cut up some fruit… there’s apples and pears down here for a snack if you want them” she said again and Kayla looked down at her outfit. Not really Brianna approved. “ Mikayla,…and thanks mom . I’ll be down in a second!” she yelled out the door. She tilted her ear to the hallway, waiting for the sound of her mom leaving the kitchen before she ran downstairs as quickly as she could, grabbing the bowl off of the island and making her way back upstairs before her mom could catch her lounging around in sweatpants and her glasses during the weekend. Kayla hummed to herself quietly, picking up some more of the hot water with lemon she was drinking as she settled herself back onto her bed and looked back at her script. About ten minutes later and she heard the blonde haired skateboarding invasion bombard it’s way into her home. She gave a small nod, setting her hot water down on her nightstand. He would want his phone,-- ah, there he was yelling about it. Kayla chewed on the apple slice that was in her mouth, climbing off her bed before she made her way over to her vanity where she had placed his phone in her drawer so she wouldn’t lose it. Right on cue, he came bouncing into her room. Literally, he flopped onto her bed and Kayla smiled sarcastically at him as he commented on her rehearsing lines and sat down on the bed next to him.

‘ Here, Tony Hawk” she said, setting his iphone down on his stomach. Kayla picked up another apple slice and bit into it before sitting Indian style on her bed and looking back at the lines. “ Anyone can KNOW lines, Ty.. it’s about… becoming them” she said, trying to make it sound more dramatic than it was as she placed her hand up in the air, “ Theater..” she said playfully before she smiled with the apple slice in her mouth. Ty- the only person in the entire world that she felt comfortable with the way she was currently dressed. She reached her fingers up behind her glasses, rubbing at the sides of her eyes before she pushed her glasses back up on her nose. “ Your mom bust a nut because you lost your phone? Again?” she said, tilting her head to the side slightly before she offered him a small smile. “Besides what am I supposed to be doing besides studying lines?” she asked before puffing out her cheeks in a small sigh. She looked over at him, laying on her bed. It really wasn’t fair that he had a girlfriend. It was strange having the person you have a crush on, also be your best friend in the entire world. You have a crush, who do you tell? Your best friend. Except she couldn’t. Kayla picked up the bowl, reaching it out towards Tyler so he could have some before she laid down next to him and held the script up to her face.

Ty looked up when Kayla dropped his phone right into his waiting hands, smiling. Of course she had it, she always knew exactly where he left things. What the hell would he do with out Kayla anyways? "Oh my god, thank you. I could seriously kiss you right now." Instead he brought his phone up to his lips and kissed the screen and held it close to his chest, being over dramatic about it considering she was telling him it was about 'becoming the lines'. "Oh iPhone, without you, I am nothing... and he lives to see another day." Tyler shook his head, sitting up, "No she actually busted a nut because of the state I left my room in while looking for my phone. I didn;t actually tell her I thought I lost my phone, she probably woulda busted her other nut." Tyler reached out and took an apple slice, shoving the entire thing in his mouth and said in a horrible mobster accent, "How you like dem nuts?" Tyler thought for a moment, taking the opportunity to chew instead of talking with his mouth totally full. "Well you could hang out with me..." he said hopefully, flashing her a giant smile. "Give me that." he said, watching her go back to studying those damn lines. Before she could snatch them back, Tyler rolled over and slid off the bed onto the floor, rolling farther away from her and jumped up, laughing.

He put on a serious face suddenly, looking at her lines, clearing his throat. "You are auditioning for.. Vivian. I see you've highlighted all her lines in pink highlighter. Is that scented?" he asked, and then shrugged, doing his best impression of Vivian the streetwalker. "And then suddenly this knight... on a white horse with these colors flying would come charging up and draw his sword." Tyler sprung forward, wielding an imaginary sword, his face completely serious, "And I would wave. And he would climb up the tower and rescue me. But never in all the time... that I had this dream did the knight say to me, "Come on, baby, I'll put you up in a great condo." Wow did he really offer to put her up in a condo? Man all she wanted was eternally love and all that right? Not like I've seen this... Pretty Woman... ever. It depends on how the condo is," Tyler said decisively, handing her the script back, bowing sarcastically, "No need for applause, I'm just here to help." Tyler smiled sitting back down beside her and laid back down, "But seriously, let's get out of here, you need a break."

[Mikayla Laurel Garrity]

Kayla turned her head to watch him as he said he could kiss her, then kissed his phone. She rolled her eyes, taking in a deep breath and sighing quietly. You beautiful bastard. “ Little pathetic there Ty” she said, referring to his love relationship with his iPhone. She groaned when he talked about his room. “ How do you keep it so dirty. I do not understand. Just let me organize, … and keep it that way. I’m sick of sitting on clothes piles when I come over,” she said before looking back at her lines. When he suggested they hang out she gasped sarcastically. “ I can watch you seduce your phone how tre chic.” she said, lifting her shoulders up and down like it was exciting. When he snatched the script from her she screamed out in frustration, trying to catch the fabric of his shirt as he rolled away, but of course he was too quick for her. “ Ty.” she said like he was a child and she was giving him a warning. But even she couldn’t help but smile as he started to read off lines dramatically, being a streetwalker. Well out of the two of them he was the most sexually experienced, so that made sense. She laughed, shaking her head at his little monologue towards the script, “ Every girl wants eternal love” she said before looking back at him as he laid on the bed once again.

“ Don’t you have a girlfriend to hang out with?” she said, picking up her script before folding it neatly so it wouldn’t get crease marks from where his irresponsible hands had shuffled it. “ Counter offer,” she said, rolling onto her stomach as she looked at him. “ My parents are going out pretty soon. Wanna stay in and we can order food? Oooh we can go swimming! I think you left some of your shorts here last time,” she said, pushing herself off of her bed as she went into her closet. It didn’t take long at all because of course, she had folded the swim trunks up and tucked them away neatly. Kayla stuck her head out of the closet, throwing them towards his body before she ducked back into her closet to change into her bikini. At least her mom couldn’t judge her for wearing that. After a few minutes she came out of her closet and gave him a small smile before heading downstairs. “ Ma!” she screamed out to her mom before rounding the corner. “ Hey, Ty’s spending the night” she said. No reason to ask for permission, just let her know. It wasn’t like he didn’t do it all the time. ‘ Okay if you kids get hungry I’ll leave some money to the fridge’ she said, not looking up from the mail as she shuffled through it. Kayla took two bottles of water from the fridge before tossing one to Tyler as she made her way outside to the pool.

[Tyler James Kingsley]

Tyler looked at her, flipping his phone in his hands, "Oh is that all?" he laughed, "Well that can't be too hard." Girls and their eternal love, love at first sight, blah and on and on. Not that he didn't think any of it was true, but girls loved that stuff right? "Me? Don't you have a boyfriend to hang out with? Where's Chace today anyways?" Tyler stood up, tossing his phone into the air and caught it before throwing it up again. "Okay, it's scorching outside, swimming works," he laughed, as she went into her closet and tossed him a pair of his own shorts, staying in he closet he guessed so she could change. Tyler pulled his shirt off over his head, tossing it on the floor in a pile with his other articles of clothing before he pulled his swim shorts on and then realized Kayla would probably yell at him for leaving a pile. Tyler looked back at the closet quickly before shoving the pile under under her bed with his foot before she came back out. Tyler smiled at her and followed her down stairs, laughing when she told her mom he was spending the night, "Well my mom told me to be back by dinner. I'm thinking she meant dinner tomorrow." he shrugged and went outside to the pool.

"Oh my god why is it so hot..." Tyler groaned and walked over to the diving board, stepping to the end of it and turned around. He gave a few small bounces and then pushed off the board, doing back flip into the pool. The cool water felt like a shock for a moment and then Tyler got used to it, resurfacing in the shallow end of the pool, shaking his hair out. Kayla had gotten in the pool, Tyler pushing a wave of water at her, grinning, "Oops."

[Mikayla Laurel Garrity]

Kayla scrunched her nose when he mentioned her boyfriend. “ Oh yeah” she said, almost forgetting she had one. It was kind of easy to forget when the only reason you had one was because you were trying to move on from the warm body laying next to you. Kayla turned her neck from side to side as they reached outside, putting her hair up into a messy ponytail as she put on a pair of Tyler’s sunglasses. ‘ Tyler, it’s like you’re growing up right before our eyes. Mikayla dear, do the girls just think he is the cutest thing there?” her mom asked, gesturing to Tyler in his swimsuit. “ Mom, gross” she said, making a slight face behind her sunglasses. The idea of other girls finding him attractive was disgusting. ‘ I’ll call your mother, darling’ her own mom said to Tyler and Kayla gave her a smile that conveyed both being appreciative and borderline telling her to go away. Thankfully she really wasn’t one of the girls that was afraid of getting in the pool and getting their hair wet, so as he made his way towards the diving board she took her iphone out and placed it on the sound dock, setting it to the song ‘ Just A Little Bit’ by Kids of 88 before she sat down on the edge of the pool and lowered herself into it, just in time for him to backflip into it. And of course he shook his hair when he came up. Kayla held her breath as she watched him. Yeah. ‘Cutest’ thing ever wasn’t exactly the thought that was running through her head right now. But she was quickly snatched away from her daydream of finding out just exactly how his lips tasted today when he splashed her with a wave of water.Not the greatest loss, wasn’t like she hadn’t kissed him before already. Of course he was always under the impression that it was because they were drunk. Maybe she should try just pretending to be drunk a time or two..

“ Tyler!” she said, using a tone to try and pretend she was mad as she lifted her manicured eyebrow from behind the sunglasses she had stolen from him. She took them off and threw them far into the grass so they wouldn’t break before she went under the water and swam the distance over to him and came up behind his back, hopping onto him as she tightened her arms and legs around him, trying to pull him into the water. Which was the worst attempt probably in the history of ever, he was bigger than her. And what body mass she did have wasn’t exactly muscle. Kayla scrunched her nose, trying to push him under as she climbed onto his shoulders. “ Come ON!” she said exhaustedly. “ How the hell does Jessica shove you around in bed,” she said , trying to push him down some more before giving up and dropping herself back into the water. But before she could get beneath the surface Tyler was holding her in his arms, threatening to throw her in the water. Of course that was the exact moment she heard someone clearing their throat and when she looked over her shoulder, Chace. “ Oh,” she said, giving a small nod before looking at Tyler. “ Well I guess we know what Chace is doing today,” she said before looking back at Chace. ‘ Were you just not planning on answering your phone at all today?” he asked with his eyebrows narrowed as he looked at the two of them holding onto each other. ‘ Probably a good idea for you to let me half naked wet girlfriend go, Tyler” he said, licking his lips before he placed his hands in his front pockets.

[Tyler James Kingsley]

Tyler looked away, covering his face when she jumped on his back, trying to pull him back under water, but this was a game he knew all too well. Kayla never won at this game, but it was fun letting her try before he just dunked her under. He was glad she wasn't one of those girls who cared about not getting her hair wet. Ty spun around, trying to get her to fall off, but she clung on, climbing on his shoulders to try and push him under. Tyler laughed when she mentioned Jessica shoving him around in bed, but Ty just replied, "She doesn't." Could be interpreted a few ways, but Tyler wasn't one to kiss and tell. Sure he told Kayla everything about his own life, but she didn't need to know every detail of what went on behind closed doors with his girlfriend, right? Just like Tyler didn't ask for details about what she did with Chace, though Tyler didn't think much went on anyways. Tyler felt her hop down and immediately scooped her up, holding her in the pool, grinning, "You are just asking to get dunked, just asking for it." Ty looked up when he heard Chace, looking t him, not moving but instead still hanging onto Kayla when she said she guessed they knew what Chace was doing today, "Yup, guess we do." Chace looked peeved, which, to be fair, Chace tried really hard to get Kayla to notice him. And with good reason, she was his girlfriend. Tyler just always kind of got the impression Kayla didn't take the relationship as seriously as Chace would like it to be. Chace gladly hinted that Tyler should get his hands off his girlfriend, putting emphasis on 'half naked' and 'wet'. Tyler nodded, like sue whatever dude, "Yeah, sure..." Tyler put her down nicely, taking a nice step away from her, hands out of the water where Chce could see them. Tyler shook his head, walking over to the stairs and got out, grabbing a towel to dry off while Kayla said hi to Chace, and Tyler checked his phone. Jessica had texted him. Twice. The first time asking what he was up to, where was he at? The second one a bit more accusing, asking if he was at Kayla's. Tyler texted her back quickly, "Yup, at Kayla's, I'll talk to you later" Jessica was usually somewhat cool about it, but Ty could still tell when she was annoyed about his friendship with Kayla.

[Mikayla Laurel Garrity]

Kayla kept her eyes on Chace as Tyler sat her down and took a step away from her. It was ridiculous that they were acting like two kids caught putting their hands in the cookie jar when they were just swimming. “ I wasn’t ignoring my phone, I guess I just..forgot” she said. Because quite honestly, who didn’t look at their phone, read a text, get distracted by something and then set it down and completely forget to text someone back. Happened all the time, and unless you were Tyler it happened 90 percent of the time with Mikayla. “ Look, I’m sorry” she said to Chace, standing on her toes to give him a kiss, even though her own body was leaning away from it as she did it, like she was rejecting it herself even though she was the one that initiated it. ‘ Do you have any idea how stupid you make me look on a daily basis’ Chace asked under a hushed tone and Kayla narrowed her eyebrows. Where in the hell was this coming from. “ What are you talking about, Tyler left his phone here so he came over to get it” she said, trying to match his quiet tone. ‘ Yeah, he left his phone over. Because of course he was over earlier. And coming by to pick something up means you two get to have a pool party? Jesus Mikayla, is it really so hard for you to pick up your own phone. We’re in a relationship, do you remember that?” he asked and Kayla made a slight face that probably registered as guilt. Sometimes. “ We’ve been best friends since before we could walk, Chace.” she said, giving a slight shrug of her shoulder. “ Yeah eventually you two are going to have to cut the cord. I’m not sure how long I can stick around, Mikayla” Chace said, licking his lips as he looked over her shoulder at Tyler who was on his phone. ‘ Look. We’re young and we are going to make stupid decisions, I get that. But whatever you’ve got going on with him needs to stop. Right now. Do you understand? If you want to be with me, you need to be with me. If you want to be with him, fine be with him. But neither he or I deserve to be treated… like this. If you want me, I shouldn’t have to second guess how you feel. If you want him, you shouldn’t hide your feelings by parading around with me,”. Kayla sighed, bringing her hand up to the side of her forehead where she scratched her skin, trying to process everything he was saying. But before she could speak again he leaned down to give her a kiss. Kayla tossed her arms up in the air before dropping them to her side as he kissed her. This boy. ‘ I’m gonna go. I don’t really want to stick around and watch this,” he said with a slight shake of his head, “ I love you, Mikayla” he offered before kissing the side of her hair and making his way past Tyler. ‘ See you later,bro’ he said , waving at him before he left by walking back into the house to head towards his car.

[Tyler James Kingsley]

Tyler was going to set his phone down but he realized that Chace was quietly talking to Kayla about... him? Tyler knew he shouldn't eavesdrop, that was their business, whatever it was they were talking about. But at the same time Tyler couldn't help but feel like he wanted to make sure Chace didn't say anything mean or hurt her feelings. Tyler could handle guys being an ass to Tyler about Tyler's friendship with her, every guy that tried to date her had a problem with it. But he wouldn't tolerate them being mean to Kayla about it. They didn't have anyone to answer to, they didn't owe anyone any explanations, there wasn't anything going on. Tyler could hear Chace telling Kayla she was going to have to choose between them. That wasn't cool, asking her to choose between her boyfriend and her friend. But if Chace honestly thought there was something going on, he was wrong. Tyler had to hand it to him though, Chace was really trying. It was just that Tyler wasn't so sure Tyler was Chace's problem. Tyler wasn't in his way of getting a better relationship with Kayla, it was Kayla who was in his way. But Tyler couldn't tell him that, wasn't his business. That was Kayla's relationship. Yeah, Tyler kinda felt bad for the guy... but after a while Chace would have to realize he couldn't be in a relationship with a girl who didn't give him all of her, right? Kayla wasn't emotionally in it. Tyler could tell, he just didn't understand why. She was never really emotionally invested in any relationships, except her family and her close friends, and well, Tyler.

Tyler looked up, waving at Chace, "Later man," and set his phone down, waiting until Chace was gone and then walked back over to where Kayla was. "What exactly does he think is going on?" Tyler asked, scrunching up is eyebrows. "Is he suggesting that you are cheating on him... with me?" Tyler laughed shaking his head. Okay, sometimes when they were drunk they were a little flirty, and more than once Tyler had taken a drunk Kayla home from a party, and she was a bit flirty.... but she was not cheating on her boyfriend. Tyler would know.

[Mikayla Laurel Garrity]

Kayla ran her hand over her face, bringing her fingers to her scalp before she shook her wet hair out so it didn’t stick to her. She hated when Chace was upset with her, mainly because she knew that Tyler was going to come over and talk to her about it. And she talked to Tyler about everything – however. Talking about relationships with him SUCKED. Because he didn’t know the whole story. ‘ I can’t emotionally invest myself into other people cause I’m sort of crazy in love with you’. She laughed dryly as he spoke to her and then nodded. “ Dumb, huh?” she said, taking in a deep breath as she placed her hands on her hips. Yup, dumb. She looked over Tyler before walked over and picked up her iPhone from the sound system. “ Are you hungry? I’m suddenly not in the mood for swimming,” she said quietly, heading inside. “ Mom?” she asked, yelling through the kitchen before she walked to the front entry and looked out the window. All of the cars were gone except for hers. Well, home alone. Kayla went upstairs and changed into a pair of white shorts and a gray t-shirt, semi-drying her hair with a towel as she made her way back down to the kitchen. “ I just don’t understand” she said sullenly, taking stuff out of the pantry to start making dough for Tyler’s pizza. “ It’s like no matter what guy I talk to, they have a problem with our friendship. And then your girlfriends seem to take issue with me”

Kayla mixed the ingredients in the bowl, wiggling her nose as it got an itch and then tilted her head to the oven to indicate for Tyler to help her out, start the oven to pre-heat it and maybe he would start getting out pizza sauce and start grating cheese or something. Usually when they cooked they did a pretty good job of doing it together. She smiled up at him as he reached up and scratched the side of her nose. “ Thanks,” she said with a slight laugh. Kayla took the dough out of the bowl, starting to mash it down on the cooking sheet. “ Cheating… it is ridiculous. What you and I have is not… cheating. And the only time it’s ever..” she said , trying to find the word she was looking for but just rolled her eyes, “ Well you know what I’m talking about. When we’re both drunk that just doesn’t… count” she said giving a small sigh. Well it probably counted more on her part than his. She actually wanted it to be something more than it was. He strictly did not. Once she was done mashing down the dough and putting on the sauce she slid it on the counter over to him. They had a pretty good system going and she watched as he started to put he grated cheese onto the sauce. Kayla bit the edge of her lip, going into the pantry where she looked at the liquor that her parents had. After pouring some tequila in a glass she sat at the bar of the kitchen, watching Tyler work as she took a sip from her cup. “ Does um… Jessica know?” she asked, quickly adding, “ Not that we’re hiding anything. Cause it’s nothing. It doesn’t count. I just happen to have an affection for floppy haired skateboarding blondes when I’ve had a few drinks, and judging by the fact that you’re dating Jessica you have.. no standards..” she said, bringing the cup to her lips.

[Tyler James Kingsley]

Tyler nodded when Kayla said she wasn't int eh mood for swimming any more. Apparently they weren't supposed to do that so Tyler agreed, "Yeah, starving." Ty followed her in the house, opening the fridge to look for something to drink other than water when Kayla went to change. Tyler pulled out some chocolate syrup and the milk gallon that was almost empty, pouring some syrup inside, putting the lid back on and shook it up. Kayla came back and since she started getting stuff to make pizza dough, Ty reached over and turned the oven on and pull out pizza toppings, stopping momentarily to scratch her nose. Tyler hopped onto the counter, scratching his shoulder and shrugged, responding, "I know. People just don't get it I guess. They aren't as cool as we are." Tyler reached behind him ion the cupboard and grabbed a bowl so he could grate some cheese in it, shaking his head, "That doesn't count, people do a lot of stuff when they're drunk." Kayla was done with her part of the pizza, letting him figure out toppings. Tyler covered it in cheese and then found spinach to put on her half. his half was a bit more complicated. He started with some ham, and some pineapple. Then he threw some m&m's on it. And while he was opening a bag of cheetohs to put on his side of the pizza he looked over at her with her tequila, , "Hey come on. Jessica is pretty cool, don't be mean," he laughed, crunching up the cheetohs. "But um... no I didn't tell her. Why do you tell Chace?"

Tyler didn't really care, he knew it looked bad but it wasn't what it looked like. If Kayla told Chace about kissing Tyler when they were drunk more than once, it would only feed Chace's suspicions. Which were wrong. But it didn't help the situation. Tyler didn't tell Jessica. Mostly because he didn't want her to get her feelings hurt but also because it wasn't necessary. It wasn't like he was cheating on her, what she didn't know didn't have to hurt her. "Besides, if I went by your standards, I wouldn't be allowed to date anyone from school," he teased, grabbing the bottle of tequila and took a drink after shoving the pizza in the oven. Tyler was about to ask her if she really thought being with Chace was a good idea or if maybe letting him go nicely was better, but his phone went off, seeing it was one of his buddies from school calling. "Oh hey, I'll put him on speaker phone," Tyler said, answering the call and turning on the speakerphone, "Hey bro, whats good... Kayla's here too." "Oh hey Kayla, you guys up for a party? McPherson's parents are out of town, I guess he's throwing one, got a keg and who knows what else. Ty, he wants us to play some shit if we can get our stuff over there." Tyler looked at Kayla, shrugging as if to say, why not? "Yeah that'd be cool, you guys getting Nick's drum kit over there or what?" "Yeah, loading up his mom's mini van," they heard him laugh from the other end, "Anyways, i gotta go, but bring your shit. And your girl. If you can figure out which one that is." Tyler laughed, "Fuck off. But obviously I'm bringing Kayla. I wan to have fun," he winked at her. "Alright catch you fucks later." Tyler hung up and slid his phone away, "Okay, you wanna go to a party?"

[Mikayla Laurel Garrity]

Kayla finished off her glass, scrunching her nose at the sting in her throat as she listened to him. Yup, it had meant nothing to him. Which to be fair, that was expected. The fact that she had feelings for him, that was out of the normal. She nodded in agreement with him. Tonight wasn’t the night to point out her feelings. Or any night for that matter. She didn’t need to make herself look like an idiot. She made a slight face when he said that Jessica was cool, choosing to just mouth ‘okay’ to herself sarcastically than to say it out loud. “ Yeah right like I would tell Chace” she said, giving a slight scoff. But she leaned over to get a handful of the m&ms before he put all of them all over his half of the pizza. When his phone went off she leaned her elbows on the counter, rubbing her hand against her nose as she leaned down to listen to who it was. “ Yeah it’s Mikayla here” she said, trying to sound diplomatic after he called her Kayla. It was a little trickier with Tyler’s friends. She listened as he talked about the Macpherson’s having a party and she gave a slight shrug of her shoulder, nodding in agreement when Ty looked over at her. “ Cool,sounds good” she said, placing her hands against the counter and pushing herself up away from the counter. Almost instantaneously her mom walked in, lowering her sunglasses. “ Did I hear party?” she asked, setting down the grocery bags she had just gotten down on the counter. She reached in, taking out a brand new bag of Cheetohs and held them out to Tyler. “ Yeah, Ty’s band is gonna play at a party so we’ll probably go later tonight,” she said, putting her hands back and hopped up onto the counter. “ Aw well you kids have fun. Tyler I called your mom while I was out and told her you were staying the night,” she said, finally looking over at the pizza that Tyler was making. “ …. Okay, well.. you kids have fun. Just let me know that you’re alright every now and then” she said, shaking her head at Tyler’s pizza, making her way out of the kitchen ‘Clean up your mess, Ty’ she said lovingly causing Kayla to smile as she chewed her m&m’s and looked over at him.

Hours later and they had eaten their fill of pizza, both taken a shower- separately, watched some Scott Pilgrim movie that was horrible and she had just put on a ‘party playlist’ for them to get ready to. At the moment ‘Party Rock’ was playing loudly in her room and Kayla dramatically put herself in her doorway of her closet after she had gotten dressed. “ Remember when you said I would never wear a tutu?” she said, trying to strike a pose in her doorway. She was wearing a bra top with her tutu and a pair of combat boots before she lowered her arms from the doorway and did a few dance moves to the music. She made her way to the bathroom where she put gel in her hands and brought them to Tyler’s hair to do it for him. She was doing her best to make it look messy and like it wasn’t styled and finally she sat on the counter in her bathroom, crossing her legs underneath her before offering him her make up brush and laughed as he told her to make a fishy face, following his instructions and letting him apply what make up of hers he could. After he was finished she turned to look in the mirror and corrected what needed to be before telling him to close her eyes. When he did she laughed, putting some blush on him before she started to run out of the bathroom, being pulled by her waist instantly before he pinned her against the bed and did his best to put lipstick all over her face. Getting ready for parties with him usually took longer than getting ready on her own, but let’s face it, it was just more fun with him. When they were finally finished goofing around and getting ready she came downstairs, sliding on her jacket as she took the last step. ‘ A tutu?’ her mom asked and she did a slight spin before popping her knee back to show her the combat boots she had stolen from Tyler a few years back. ‘Only you..’ she said with a slight shake of her head and a smile. ‘ Here,’ she said throwing Kayla’s car keys over to her. Kayla caught them before pushing her hair from her face. “ Bye ma!” she said heading out of the house and towards her garage. It was a quick drive over considering Kayla already knew where he lived and when she parked she looked at the time on the clock and smiled at Tyler. “ 1:18 AM…” she said with a slight laugh before she got out of the car and headed inside the house. When they stepped inside, Kayla looked over everyone at the crowd and then looked over her shoulder to smile at Tyler. He would find her later with a drink hopefully. She stood on her toes to kiss his cheek before she headed off to look for someone to talk to. He’d have to set up for his band and surely he’d want to talk to a few other people, she didn’t need to completely monopolize him, they’d drift back towards each other.

Six slices of pizza, a party playlist and one tutu later, which Tyler thought was adorable, and they were in Kayla's car going to the party, which was good, because Tyler had pregamed already and shouldn't drive at all by this point. But they always arrived just when the party was really getting fun. Tyler followed Kayla inside, waving to some kids, yelled to some of his buddies from the soccer team and let Kayla kiss him on the cheek before she went her own way. First thing he did was say hi to some friends of his who were quick to comment about Kayla. "Dude, I don't care that you are both dating other people, you are clearly fucking around on the side, am I right or am I right?" Tyler laughed slightly, making a face, "Huh? You're drunk bro, fuck you," but eh smiled anyways, making his way to go help set up. Why did every person on the entire school think that he and Kayla were hooking up? Were they that deceiving with the way they acted around each other? Tyler helped the band set up and then around twenty minutes later Ty headed to the kitchen to get a drink and he found Kayla in there, smiling at her, "Hey Kayla were about to play, I just need a drink. You coming?" Ty mixed himself something... not really looking and took it with him as he went over to where they were set up, "Hey guyssss, enjoying the party? Someone pat McPherson on the back, that crazy fucker... there ya go, thanks for letting us trash your house dude." Kids cheered and were yelling, drunk slurs ringing out in the house. "You guys like Bruno Mars?" Tyler asked, smiling as they started the song, "This is for all the ladies out there that believe in eternal loveeeee." Tyler took a drink of whatever was in his cup, deciding he believed in eternal love tonight too and thinking to himself he hope he got through the mere five songs they were gonna play. The crowd loved their cover of marry me, it got all the girls excited from the get go then they always got everyone pumped with some blink songs. The first few songs they played without breaks in the middle. Kids were dancing and having fun, the soccer players were trying to crowd surf which was sort of funny. Tyler caught Kayla's eye, smiling and thinking about how these songs were sort of like about them. Climbing through windows and everything was better when she was around. No wonder people thought they were secretly dating.

Kayla pushed her hair from her face and smiled as she talked to a few girls from their class. Too bad Tori wasn’t here. She looked over her shoulder a few times to see where Tyler was and caught herself smiling. It didn’t take long for her to make her way towards the kitchen. Well clearly he wasn’t going to get her a drink so she needed to take matters into her own hands. She licked her lips, picking her hair up off of her neck to get some fresh air on it before she started picking up stuff to make a drink. When Tyler came into the kitchen she smiled, knowing that she smiled differently every time he was around, like she literally lit up. When he asked if she was coming she gave him a look while smiling. Like she wouldn’t be there in a heartbeat. She reached into the pocket of her jacket, taking out her miniature flip camera. She needed footage of him singing and this was perfect. She held onto her cup loosely and pushed her way through the group of kids in the house to where she got by the stage. She smiled as she talked to their drummer, giving him a loose hug and a kiss on the cheek as he brought up his own camera to take a picture with her. She held onto Tyler’s cheek, kissing it again before she stepped off the small makeshift stage and went back into the crowd. When he started to play guitar she couldn’t help but smile, lifting the camera into the air to film him. ‘ Oh my gosh, he is playing marry you’ one of the girls said and Kayla kept her eyes focused on him. ‘ You know she totally wishes he was singing to her’ the girl whispered to her friend and they both laughed. “ Bitch you got something to say?” she said, lifting her eyebrow at the girl who quickly walked away and Kayla licked her lips, looking back at the performance as he was singing. She smiled proudly, watching him as he sang through each of his songs, stopping every so often to drink from his cup. She noticed it was getting a bit low so she took the mainly empty cup and replaced it with her own. It took more for him to get drunk than her anyways. ‘ So like.. what’s the sex like?’ one girl asked as she drunkenly stumbled by Kayla, causing her to make a slight face. “ …. Fuck off,” she said , giving a small shake of her head as Tyler started another Blink 182 song.

Tyler smiled as they stop for a small break, mostly so they could all down whatever drinks they had, and Tyler said into his mic, "You guys know I love blink right? If you don't mind we are gonna play one more blink song... actually," he said, looking at his band mates who were adjusting something so he was killing time a bit, "The first time I saw Blink in concert, I was ten, and me and Kayla went, you guys now my friend Kayla?" A lot of guys cheered and Tyler shrugged, "That was probably one the most memorable concerts I've ever been to. On that note, you drunk fucks, we;re gonna do some more blink for you kids." Tyler looked at his band mates who gave him a thumbs up and they went into the next song, another one of his personal favs. There was nothing like just playing your favorite music for a crowd of your drunk classmates and having a grand old time. Tyler could see Kayla and smiled at her again, singing a few lines to her, and he could see she had her camera with her. They finished the song, Tyler reaching down to take a drink of his cup that had magically refilled... he swore he had drank more of that. "So... I have this friend of mine... he is sort of a big deal i guess. And the girls love him, therefore, we are gonna play one of his songs. You guys know my friend Joel Foster right? Hey shut up back there you dick, don't be jelly. Enjoy the song dammit." Tyler played a few notes and then they started the song, playing through it and Tyler was actually started to feel sort of goofy from the alcohol, glad they had just one song left because he was about to just get wasted and he said a lot of goofy stuff when he was drunk. The thing was girls, loved this stuff and now they were in a good party mood, so how to end a set? With a song to get eh guys pumped about the girls being in good mood. "Now..." Tyler said after they'd finished love me, "I know..... we all like lil wayne. Excuse you, you pretentious hipster, I'm sure you pay 99 cents a song for lil wayne, I am not fooled by your over sized glasses or your trendy sweater. yeah I just said that, let us play this damn song, it'll probably get you laid bro." The beginning intro of the song was obvious as to what it was and it got a roar of cheers from the guys hoping some girl tonight would lick their lollipops. Ty liked playing this song for a few reasons. One is sounded cool two, it was hot, three, the girls loved it, four... who the fuck cared they were in a house full of hormonal teens who were all probably fighting their own raging feelings to jump the kid next to them. And Ty was glad when it was done because he was tipsy and wanted to just go do something that he couldn't fuck up.

When they were finished Tyler set his guitar down and made his way over to Kayla, laughing and said quietly in her ear, "I'm glad that is done because I am feeling wayyy fucked up, " he smiled. "Wanna go get more drinks" Ty steered her back to the kitchen, high fiving a few friends on behalf of his bands performance and finally got there, making a drink for him and one for Kayla. There were people in the kitchen watching them but what the fuck ever. Tyler handed her her cup, wrapping an arm around her waste, "You smell good," he said in her ear, sure no one could hear what he'd said what everyone wished they had.
