Broken (Timids)

Each other

" Shane, this is truly amazing. But you shouldn't have done all this for me, it must have cost you a fortune and you said you were saving up for those expensive art penc-" I started to babble nervously, just to be cut off by Shane holding his long finger to my pink lips, silencing me. I giggled slightly, even though I felt awful that Shane had spent his money on little old me instead of what could make him truly happy.

" Drew, I wanted to do all this and before you say anything , or even try to protest that you're not worth it, you mean so much more to me than some silly art pencils and I wanted to show you just how important you are. And whilst this isn't the most elaborate, special idea, it was all my boring brain could some up with at such short notice" Shane explained, looking sincere and like he generally meant every word he spoke. At his words, my heart flipped uncontrollably and for the first time in forever, I began to question whether I actually was pathetic and unloveable. of course I soon came back to my sense and realized I was both of those things but it was nice, just for a moment, to think that I wasn't. And it was all thanks to Shane!

" besides, I managed to get the tickets a little cheaper thanks to Laurence. His high school 'friend' works here and she gave us a discount " Shane added, raising his eyebrows on the word 'friend' that seemed to suggest that they were a lot more than simply friends and I wasn't the only one who picked up on Shane's actions.

" what's that supposed to mean?" Kier snapped, his eyes suddenly a lot darker than they had been moments before, so dark they were almost black. I glanced nervously at him, not used to seeing with such an angry dark expression on his face. He was usually so laid back, even when Luke broke his expensive hair straighteners last week. I barely saw him shout at anyone or glare at them, minus the times he fake argued with Laurence as a joke.

Before anybody could answer Kiers question, a young women with long ginger hair tied up in a ponytail, dressed in the regulation staff uniform, had made her way over to us and stood beside Laurence, pressing herself up against him.

" Everybody, this is Lucy. Lucy, this everybody" Laurence introduced nervously, avoiding eye contact with Kier as he spoke, almost as if he detected something was wrong . Even though what Laurence had said was nowhere near funny, she began to laugh and the sound was so high pitched and fake I thought it was going to make my ears bleed. Catching on to Kiers expression I could see nothing but sheer jealous as he glared at Lucy, probably killing her in his mind over and over again.

" the games about to start" Kier stated emotionless as he stormed off towards the area where the game packs were kept, not waiting to see whether we were following him or not.

Kiers PoV
I stalked off ahead, afraid that if I stared at Laurence and Lucy for much longer that I would burst into a fit of helpless tears in the middle of Lazer zone and I didn't I particularly like that idea. I thought he had liked me, I really did but now she had came along and ruined everything between the two of us. Me and Laurence always cuddled as friends, I thought he would have understood by now that they were so much more than that to me. That all the 'Keveridge' jokes weren't actually jokes at all, instead simple hints as to what I wanted.

Perhaps I was stupid to ever expect something between us in the first place? Maybe I was just delusional? I mean, I was just a stupid kid for gods sake, and Laurence was eighteen. What would he probably ever want with someone like me? I just caused problems for him with my constant pranks and all the phone calls home from school to report my behaviour. I always managed to get him annoyed at me in some way another....but after all was said he would crawl into my room and hug me tight, saying he didn't mean to hurt me and we would fall asleep curled up together under the covers. In his arms I felt content. He felt content in Lucy's.
