Chapter 21

The next day I spent putzing around the house. Cleaning and doing laundry. I was feeding my cats when my house phone rang.

�Hello?� I said, noticing Tyler�s number on the caller ID. �Hey girlie� Tyler said cheerfully. �What�s up� I asked.

We chatted for about 10 minutes and I asked if he wanted to come hang out. He showed up at my house about an hour later, with a pizza and a bottle of Southern Comfort.

�To fill your stomach� he said handing me the pizza �to drown away your problems� handing me the bottle. I chuckled �Is this how YOU solve problems?�

�Sometimes� Tyler said, grinning from ear to ear. We sat down at the table and ate, talking about what happened on our girl�s night.

�Tyler you are such a good friend� I said, smiling. I meant it, how many guys would help his brothers ex�..

�I talked to Shane� Tyler said, randomly. �Ok and�� I trailed off, half not wanting to know the answer.

�He said that he just couldn�t let you go. And that how horrible he felt for what he did. And she meant nothing, blah blah blah� Tyler said, rolling his eyes.


�Well if she didn�t mean anything then he shouldn�t have done it� I said, a little annoyed.

�I know� Tyler responded.

I quickly changed the subject �So what movie do you want to watch?�

*****3 hours later******

I was holding my stomach laughing so hard. Tyler and I had almost finished the bottle of Whiskey. He was acting a fool, telling stupid jokes.
But me being drunk, I really thought they were funny. I tried to catch my breath when my cell phone rang. �Hello?� I said, not looking at the caller ID.

�Shan� the southern drawl on the other end said quietly. �What Shane?� I asked, a pissy tone in my voice. �Shannon we need to talk� I cut him off �No Shane WE DON�T!�

I slammed the phone down; I never was very mean to anyone. The mix of alcohol and the events of the past few weeks, I just told him what I thought.

�What?!� I said, still in the pissy tone. Tyler was staring at me wide eyed. �Nothing I have just never heard you yell�

We continued hanging out and drinking the rest of the bottle; Tyler managed to get me back into my good mood.

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

�Uggghh� I groaned grabbing my head. I rolled over and slammed my hand down on the alarm clock to stop its incessant buzzing. I sat for a minute trying to re-call the events from the night before.

Fuzzy. Really Fuzzy.

I rolled over and that�s when I felt it, I wasn�t alone. I prop my head up and look at the figure sleeping next to me. �OH MY GOD� I scream, grabbing my head. Tyler sat straight up and looked at me, his face showing about the same amount
of shock as mine.
