Chapter 32

"What do you want, Tyler?"   I spoke with anger in my voice.

"Connor, I came to apologize to you" he spoke softly, probably scared of my reaction.

"Who do you think you are, Tyler? You just show up at my house unannounced, just so you can apologize for kissing my boyfriend?" My eyes widened as Troye spoke. Shit shit shit, I promised tyler I wouldn't tell Troye. Tylers eyes widened and his mouth hung open.

"You promised" He whispered, looking directly at me. "You fucking promised me you wouldn't tell him" He was now pissed, walking into the house and towards me.

"Look, Tyler. I had to, it was my only choice" I defended, backing away from him.

"Only choice?" He questioned, still walking towards me.

"Ye-yeah. He was going to break up with me because I was keeping your fucking secret from him an-" I spoke fast, but Tyler still interrupted me.  

"so your boyfriend is more important than your best friend?" He questioned, acting hurt by placing a hand on his heart.  "I thought you learned what could happen when you put other things first, and not bothering to give two fucks about your best friend" A sly smile formed on his face, I knew exactly where he was heading.

"Tyler" Troye spoke, trying to stop Tyler.

"Connor, you have a record of this, don't you? Just like 7 years ago" The smiled grew wider by the second.

"Tyler" Troye growled, but was ignored.

"just like your precious necklace, Connor. Your precious necklace that made you lose Troye boy here." I stayed silent, I couldn't speak, because everything he was saying was true. There are moments in my life where I think of something else before I think of my best friend.

But was tyler really worthy of claiming the title of my best friend?

"You know what, Ty?" I finally spoke. "You're right, 7 years ago, I went to save my necklace before my best friend, and that was a huge mistake. But you are wrong about one thing; you're not my fucking best friend."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It fucking means, you're not my best friend. It fucking means that I was trying to save , not only my relationship, but my fucking friendship with my actual best friend as well. Telling Troye what you did was probably one of the better choices I've made."

"I can't believe you'd do that to me!" Tyler practically yelled.  Troye was silent through this whole thing as he watched the scene unravel between the two friends.

"I'd do this to you? I'd do this to you?" I paused "Tyler, in case you forgot, you fucking kissed me. You kissed me, even though you knew I had a boyfriend. You kissed me, even though I was pouring my heart out to you about how fucking much I love Troye! So to say that I did something to you, is pathetic."
