I Fell For My Childhood Bestfriend. Now He's The Hollywood Bad Boy

chapter seven

Mercy's P.O.V

I watch out my window has Tyler leaves my house with Marnie following behind him. It looks like there fighting about something. Marnie looks up and see me. She gives a slight wave and a smile before she smacks Tyler across the face. I can already see it coming. Tyler turning heading off in a different direction. Marnie walks back up to my house and inside. I hear a commotion downstairs and then a slight knock on my door.

I walk over to my door and open it a crack to see Marnie with my guitar in her hands. I open the door and walk over to my bed. She follows me in and set my guitar down in the bed beside her.

"Mercy, I...” she starts

"Why did he have to do that? It had to be my favorite song! Doesn't he realize that he just needs to be himself to make me forgive him...? And I don't mean the him you know. I mean the him I grew up with!" I say through sobs

"He was going to sing for you sooner or later... He has been practicing that song for weeks now... Since he called your mom and asked her if he could come by on your birthday, he was supposed to sing it for you then, when your mom told him that was your favorite song... And he just totally blew up... Mercy I think you’re the only one who can calm him down... I don't even know where he went...” she says

"I know where he is...” I say "We used to go there when we were kids... It's not too far from here...”

"Mercy, please go talk to him...” she begs

"Fine... For you, because you seem like you just want him to be happy." I say

"Thank you!" she says getting up

"I’ll go in a few minutes I need get changed, this outfit will not so for where I'm going...” I say as she walks out of my room

I close my door behind her and walk over to my closet. I pull out dark skinny jeans, a white tank top, black zip up hoody and my running shoes. I get dressed and go over to my dresser to grab some socks. I put my socks and shows on and grab my guitar; there is only one way to fix this, the sorry song we both came up with when we were 6.

Running down the stairs wiping my eyes and heading for the door I tell everyone that I'll be back soon and I'm off. Walking to the trail that leads to our tree house hideout we made all by ourselves so no one could ever find us only takes about fifteen minutes. Knowing that I can't climb up I move my guitar to hold it properly and start stunning the notes as I sing.

"Ty, I hope I didn't make you cry, I shouldn't have done what I did, you know it really was a fib!" I pause forgetting the next part, "I really do care, I'm just really scared... I don't want to get hurt; I just can't handle what you did before...” I improvise with a new verse all together "Ty, I'm so sorry! I hope you forgive me!" I Finnish with the original lyrics

"Mercy, I will always forgive you. Now get up here, I think we need to talk...” he says

"Grab my guitar!" I say lifting it above my head. He grabs hold if it, lifting it up before I climb ups the latter and landing me in the platform.

I get up and walk through our makeshift door. I sit in my pink bean bag chair across from Tyler in his Blue bean bag chair. Looking around, it's been a few years, and thus is the only thing that hasn't changed.

"Wow, it's still exactly the same as I remember it... Like nothing has changed." I say

"Tell me about it. Our sleeping bags and pillows are still in there. He says pointing at a small bin with a lid on it.

"How do you know?" I ask

"I was looking around... Thinking... And then I heard you singing... Nice improvising the middle...” he says
