Stuck In The Middle With You

"How did we even get here in one day?" I asked. Bently and I were on the beach, which was a few blocks away from the hotel. When I went to the beach with my family, it took a day and a half.

"I'm a fast driver." He smiled. Oh God, his smile makes me melt.

"Is this the only place we're going?"

"No, we'll leave in a couple of days."

I sighed. "I could live on the beach. I love it."

He laughed. "I think you just love the water, period."

"That's true too."

He leaned over and kissed me again, like it was the most natural thing in the world. It felt like it was. It felt like I had been doing this for years.

"I like doing that." He whispered, still brushing his lips against mine.

"Mhmm, me too." I kissed him again. Is there a way to do this forever?

"Should we go back?" He asked, when he pulled away.

I made a face. "I really don't want to."

"Oh you think I want to go back to a room with Tyler?"

"Ugh."

"Exactly."

"Why don't you two get along?" I asked. I've always wondered that.

He took a deep breath. "He's just difficult. I mean, I don't hate him. He's my brother and if it came down to it, I would give my life for him. We just see things differently, and it makes it hard to get along with him." I nodded. I understood that. "Why don't you like him?"

"He's a jerk." I said without even thinking. I've been asked that so many times, the answer comes naturally.

"He is to you. I've never understood why." Bently said.

"It's probably how I react. He wants to annoy me until I want to hit him, and he does."

"So don't act like that. Problem solved."

"I've tried. It doesn't work. Just his presence pisses me off."

He laughed. "Can I tell him you said that? Please?"

"Uh sure." Why would he want to tell him that?

"It might make him leave you alone. You know, if he knows that."

I nodded. For some reason that bothers me. I mean, I hate when Tyler annoys me, but I don't want him to completely stop. My life wouldn't be the same if he did.

Bently's phone started ringing then. "Hello....I don't care that it's passed 11. I told you I wasn't making any promises."

I laughed. Adam.

"Adam, just go to bed. I'll bring her back when I bring her back........Ok, bye." He hung up, and shook his head. "He's like a concerned father."

"Well at least someone's playing the roll." I said sadly. I thought about what my mom said earlier. I wonder if my mom felt the same way?

"Eb, I'm really sorry."

I shook my head. "It's ok."

"You can live with us if you want. I mean, I have to go back to school in August, but my parents love you. I'm sure they wouldn't mind."

I smiled. "Thanks, but me and Tyler in the same house wouldn't work."

"Oh yeah, I didn't think about that."

"Yeah..."

"You could come live in my dorm with me. I can kick my room mate out."

I laughed. "Thanks for the offer, but I really don't want to make my mom hate me even more."

"I don't think she wo-"

"Hey sexy! What the hell are you doing out here?" I turned around and saw Tyler walking over to us.

"Ugh!" I laid back in the sand, and prayed I could turn invisible.

"What do you want?" Bently asked. He sounded annoyed.

"I was bored. You left two hours ago."

"Can't you go to sleep or something?" I asked him.

He laid down next to me and smiled. "It doesn't feel right without you looking at me from your window."

I hit him on the stomach. Wow, that boy has nice abs. I guess I can't deny him his hotness.

"We really should go back. I don't like the fact that Adam is in the hotel alone now." Bently said. Aaaaww, he's a concerned brother.

"He'll be fine. He has to grow up sometime." Tyler said. He's not a concerned brother, obviously.

"Ok, I was trying to be nice to you, but I'll rephrase. You ruined the moment, so we're leaving." Bently told him. I tried not to smile.

Tyler looked at Bently and then at me, which was weird because he was laying next to me. Way to close to me. Then his look, turned into a glare. What the hell?

"I guess we're going back then." He said. I watched as he got up and walked away. What's wrong with him?

"Come on." Bently said, holding his hand out. I looked at Tyler walking away, "he'll be fine." Bently said, seeing the look.

"What did I do?"

He pulled me up and looked at Tyler. "I told you, he's difficult."

I shrugged and started walking to the hotel. When we got back, Tyler was sitting in the hall. He didn't look at us when we got there, just waited for Bently to open the door. I wanted to hit him again, except now, the reason was for ignoring me. He can't just go from annoying me like crazy, to completely ignoring me.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Bently said. "Night." He kissed my head and went in his room. Tyler got up and walked passed me.

"Hey." I said, grabbing his hand.

He turned to look at me with emotionless eyes. "What?"

"What's your problem? You act like your mad at me."

"I'm surprised you even care."

"I care. I'm not heartless!"

He scoffed. "Could have fooled me."

What did he mean by that? I dropped his, well more like threw, his hand back to his side. "If that's the way you're going to be, then fine." I started walking to my room.

"Ebony." Tyler said. I turned to look at him. "It's not your fault. It's Bently."

"What did he do?" I hadn't seen anything.

He shook his head. "He doesn't have to do anything. He just irritates me."

"You two really need to work out your issues."

He smiled. "Tell him that. Anyway don't think you did anything. You didn't."

"Ok. Good night Tyler."

"Night Eb."

A/N: Ok, I honestly think this sucks, but this day has sucked, so there's my reason. Now to rant about my day. I woke up with a headache from hell, and Tylenol hasn't helped me at all, my boyfriend decided today would be a fun day to piss me off multiple times, it rained, and to top it all off, my power is out. So I typed this on my laptop, in the dark, trying to beat the battery, because it's about to die. Yeah, it's not fun. Anyway what would make it better is if people could actually vote and comment on this story! Please and thank you guys! :)
