Stuck In The Middle With You

A/N: I was having some trouble with the next real chapter, so I went to Adam's POV again. This is what went on at the club, and Ebony isn't really apart of it. It's just the boys, and you get a little sneak peek of just how much Adam knows. You also get to see Bently being a little bit of the Jerk  that Tyler is always talking about. You don't have to read this if you don't want to. It's just something I could get on here. I'll try to post a real chapter either tonight, or tomorrow. :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my fifth Red Bull tonight. I couldn't sit still. My thoughts were going a mile a minute around in my brain, and they all were about the same thing. Tyler and Ebony about to kiss. When I saw that, I didn't know what to do. Part of me wanted to let it happen, because if I had to pick a brother for Ebony to be with, it would be Tyler. The other part of me told me to stop them. I listened to that part. Ebony would have regretted it afterwards. Tyler would have hated himself for putting her through all the regret. Bently would have killed Tyler. So in a way, I saved everybody, but I ruined something too. Tyler's chance.

The passed few nights at the beach, he had me switching rooms with him after Ebony went to sleep, so she wouldn't have to hear me snore, even though I don't snore, then we would switch back before she woke up. I kind of ruined that the first night though. When I was coming back into the room, she woke up and I had to make some excuse up about hating bathrooms and peeing in a bush.

So this time, I made sure that I roomed with Bently. He called me every name in the book, but I really didn't care. I wasn't doing it to break him up with Eb. It wasn't even doing it for Tyler. I did it for Ebony. To the other two she's become some prize they're competing for. She just doesn't realize it...yet. To me, she's my sister. I feel like I'm the only one actually respecting her now. If I wake her up snoring, I'm not rooming with her. Bently snores too, so I'm not letting him room with her either. I don't care if she's his girlfriend or not.

"Hey," Tyler said, hitting me in the shoulder. "What you saw in the bathroom, that doesn't need to be shared."

"I wasn't planning on it. Just don't expect me to keep even more of your secrets." I told him. For some reason, Tyler feels like I'm the only one he can tell anything too.

He sighed and looked around. Bently and Ebony had gone somewhere. I wasn't really paying attention. "Listen punk. I promise, you won't have to keep them forever."

"Both of you have secrets Tyler. Both of you tell me, and I don't know why. I mean, I'm a 14 year old kid. Why do you come to me with your problems?"

He sighed. "You listen to people punk. Sometimes that's all people need, is just someone to listen to them. It doesn't matter how old you are for that."

"Well...why me?" I asked.

He laughed. "I don't have an answer to that."

I sat there in silence for a minute. My leg was still bouncing. "Do you plan on telling her any time soon?"

"I still have things to work out."

"Like what?"

"My...anger issues." He said.

"Dude! Most of your arguments are started by both of you. It's never going to stop. Arguing is what you two do."

He smirked. "I don't mind the arguing. I love to argue with her. I just don't want to take it too far."

I scoffed. "I'm pretty sure you have already done that a couple of times."

"You definitely have." Bently said, sitting down across from me.

Tyler glared at him. "Who are you to to talk about taking things to far?"

Bently smirked. "I don't see why you're mad at me. It was her choice."

"I think you influenced it just a little."

I wonder how focused they are on this argument? What would they do if I pretended to pass out? I bet I could leave and order some alcoholic beverage, and they wouldn't notice. I might just do that...

"Why would I do that?" Bently asked. He was obviously loving the fact that Tyler was this irritated. At first, that's why I thought he was trying to get with Ebony, but now I realize that he really likes her too. Or maybe he's just a really good actor.

"The better question is why wouldn't you do that?"

Bently was about to say something, probably something that would have started a full on fight, but was interrupted by Ebony.

"This is the coolest place EVER!" She yelled. "They have people in the bathrooms that hand you towels when you get done washing your hands, and they have foamy soap. Foamy soap!"

I laughed at her. She's just as hyped as I am. What's she been drinking.

She looked at me. "Oh yeah! Here." She handed me another Red Bull and I just about jumped up and danced.

"Thanks." I laughed.

"Um you probably don't need anymore of those." Bently said, a little concerned.

I glared at him and took a drink. "I'm fine."

"Don't worry about him. He can handle that." Ebony said. "Oh! We should go dance! Come on!"

She jumped up and ran to the dance floor without waiting for any of us. Seriously, what's she been drinking? She's not drunk, she's underage.

We all watched her disappear into the crowd. Bently and Tyler looked at each other. Probably staring eachother down. Why do they do that? They let a girl come between them. I mean, they were never close, but they could at least chill a little. Do they even care about what Ebony wants?

"Well...if you guys won't dance, I will." I said, getting up and walking the same way Ebony did. What are my chances of finding a 14 year old girl to dance with here?

--------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: So what did you think? I felt like this was the only way I could let you inside Bently's and Tyler's head without actually getting in their head. Adam gives just info to keep you wondering, and most of it has already been said at some point. Anyway, vote and comment! :)
