WHEN I'M WITH YOU

WHEN I'M WITH YOU : PART 6

**************************

It was weird how happy I was to get up and go to school this morning. I felt a sense of excitement rush over me as I walked down the corridors into my formroom. I was all ready to see Tyler, after all we had just made up and after last night I felt closer to him than ever. I opened the door smiling, everyone was inside, for some reason I was twice as happy to see my friends together than I normally was. But as I looked over into the corner my smile faded. Tyler and Codey were sitting where they would normally, only this time they were much closer, their legs rubbing together under the table and they were kind of holding hands, playing with each others fingers. Tyler was smiling and blushing while Codey talked. After a few minutes Tyler noticed I was standing in the doorway glaring at him. He tried to smile at me but I looked away and strolled across the room to sit with Dan and Kai, I wasn't in the mood anymore, I really wasn't.

It was the end of the last lesson of the day. Tyler had Art and I had Technology, two lessons which were right next to each other in the same department. I waited for the bell to go then quickly gathered my things and rushed out hoping to catch him. I saw the back of his head through the crowd of other Art students. "Tyler, Tyler!" I shouted, he turned around and looked in my direction. "Tyler!" I heard another guy's voice say, then Codey appeared next to him. "Hey what are you doing here? I thought you had maths now" Tyler said, placing his palm on Codey's chest, this made my heart jolt. "I did but I wanted to know if you could come help me out, you see my mums just text me to ask if I can get a few things from the store, I was wondering if you wanted to come with, someone to hang out with, might make the trip slightly more enjoyable" Codey replied, he grinned and put his hand on Ty's shoulder. "Sure, why not? I don't have to be anywhere right now" Tyler said cheerfully, they then walked off, mixing with all the other people coming out of their classrooms.

Once school was finished for the day, and believe me I have no idea why, I descided to fallow Tyler and Codey to the store. I had to keep a good distance from them so I wasn't noticed. The problem with doing that was when I entered the large store they were completely out of sight. I wondered around for ages, a few people gave me strange looks as I kept looking over my shoulder, it would be awkward if Ty spotted me sneaking around a super store on my own, it was embarrassing, this is something I would rarely ever do. THERE! I spotted them, they had stopped at this small cafe inside the store and sat down to have a drink. I kept behind a stack of clothes and watched them...
"So! Is spying on someone through a pile a t-shirts something you do often? Or is this just a one off for you." a voice behind me said, making me jump out my skin, I span round to face raised eyebrows and a smirking face.
"Fucking hell Eddie, what's with the sneaking up on me?" I snapped.
"Why are you watching Tyler drink coffee, he's your friend, your allowed to talk to him?" Eddie replied.
"I don't want them to see me, it would look sad, me on my own."
"Whether they see you or not it still looks sad TJ. What happened last saturday? When you went home together" he looked into my eyes, staring right into my head, I knew even if I didn't tell him he could read the look on my face, so I just gave in.
"We fucked" I sighed.
"If you fucked, and you guys were great friends before, then why is he with someone else?"
"Because I fucked Lauren, litrally hours after he'd left, and he came back later that day, and he could smell her, I couldn't lie to him so..." I mumbled.

Eddie let out a short sarcastic laugh and shook his head at me. "You pissed me off by fucking Lauren, you lost Tyler because you fucked Lauren. Is she really that great that you have to wreck everything around you for her?"
"No but...Why are you here Eddie?" I started.
"Came with Hollie to get her some hairclips. Why are you here TJ? And don't try and lie to me" Eddie said firmly.
"Last night, I was just sitting with Tyler for ages and I don't know, I just want him to be with me right now instead of this Codey guy, I just want to go over there and tell him how I feel about him being with someone else. I don't know if their in a relationship or not, but...Well me and him are good friends and if we could be more then it would make me so happy..." I trailed off and looked back at Eddie who stared silently at me for a while.
"Then you need to stop fucking it up, go over there and tell him how you feel, what you need from him, before it's too late. He obviously likes Codey, so you have to make sure that your the number one guy in his life!" Eddie ordered, taking a step towards me.
