I Trust you

*Tyler's POV*

I was sitting at the island in Joffrey's kitchen staring blankly at my bowl of half eaten cheerios when Phil came into the kitchen.

"Hey." He said giving me a kiss on the cheek before grabbing a drink out of the fridge.

"Hey." I replied bleakly pushing away the bowl, suddenly not hungry anymore.

"What's wrong?" He asked leaning against the counter waiting for an answer.

"Nothing." I grumbled crossing my arms.

"Bozie." Phil said looking at me knowingly "Let it go."

"I wasn't there for her when she needed me." I said shaking my head "I can't just let it go"

"There’s nothing you can do about it now. It's over okay April's fine now, she's safe."

"That doesn't change anything Phil, It doesn't change what happened." I said growing more and more frustrated with the entire situation.

"How long are you going to hang this over yourself?"

"You know what I can't do this right now." I said getting up and grabbing my keys off the counter by the door.

"Where are you going?" Phil sighed as a sudden pang of guilt hit me knowing I was hurting him.

"Out." I said as I grabbed my jacket pushing the feeling of unease away as I closed the door exiting the condo.

*April's POV*

"Hey James." I called from the kitchen where I was getting lunch started up.

"Yeah." He said padding into the kitchen in just his sweatpants leaving his torso exposed.

"Do you own a shirt?" I asked as he rolled his eyes playfully shoving me.

"What do you need." He asked.

"I'm getting lunch started up, where's your skillet?"

"Up there." He said pointing to the highest cabinet in the kitchen.

"Do you wanna help me get it." I said

"Sure." James said.

I froze as he placed both hands on my waist effortlessly lifting me.

"What I meant was for you to get it for me, but this works too." I said grabbing the skillet as James put me down.

"Show off." I said narrowing my eyes lightly tapping him with the skillet.

He laughed sticking his tongue out at me making his way out of the kitchen.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." I said as James stopped turning around to face me.

"What?"

"Where do you think your going?"

"The couch." He replied pointing to the living room area.

"No your not." I said placing some potatoes in a bowl on the counter turning back to James. "Your helping me with lunch."

"I am?" He groaned.

"Oh shut up." I said throwing a dish cloth at him "Go put on a shirt and help me."

"Alright, alright." He said going to his room and returning with a plain t-shirt on. "What are we making?" He asked watching as I put the ingredients we would need up on the counter.

"Patties."

"No way." He said smiling at me "Like the one's I told you my dad used to make when I was a kid?"

"Mhm."

"Your the best." He said beaming at me.

"I know." I replied winking at him.

"Alright so what am I supposed to do?"

"Wash and peal those potatoes." I instructed "Then I'll tell you what to do once your done those."

"Alright." James said as I got to work on the patties.

I decided to have a little fun while we were making lunch and put my phone into the iHome and put it on shuffle.

Soon enough the lyrics of "Pocket Full Of Sunshine" blast through the speakers.

I got a pocket, got a pocket full of sunshine I've got a love and I know that it's all mine oh .oh, oh Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me, sticks and stones are never gonna shake me oh, oh, oh

James laughed as he watched me dance around the kitchen singing along.

"Those were great." James complimented as he took both our plates off the island.

"Thanks." I smiled heading over to the bathroom to get cleaned up.

When I emerged back into the kitchen I noticed my phone vibrating on the counter.

"Hello." I said pressing the phone to my ear.

"Hey." A familiar voice greeted from the other line.

"Hey Phil what's up." I said making my into the guest room closing the door behind me.

"Tyler stormed off again." He sighed.

"That's the second time this week." I said.

"I know, listen I feel really bad about about leaving but my flight takes off in an hour and if I don't get to the airport I'm going to miss it."

"You go catch your flight and have fun with your family, I'll take care of Ty." I said

"You guys are my family too, you know."

"I know." I smiled "But I can handle this okay don't worry about it."

"Alright, thanks A.P." Phil said using the teams favorite nickname for me.

"Bye Phil." I smiled into the phone.

"Bye." He said hanging up.

"Everything okay?" James asked when I stepped out of the guest room and into the hallway.

"Yeah, just Phil checking in before he heads over to Wisconsin." I said.

The team had a week long break so Phil decided to head back home and spend some time with his family.

I didn't want to tell James about the way my brother had been acting lately, deciding that I could handle the situation on my own.

"Alright well, I'm in my room if you need me." He said walking by me and in the process his hand brushing against mine.

We both looked up instantaneously our eyes locking before James turned away making his way down the hall and into his room.

I took a deep breath myself as I walked into the living room turning the TV on hoping to find something that could distract me.

Late that night I was woken up by my phone ringing on my nightstand.

"Hello." I said picking up the phone not even bothering to check the caller ID.

"Hello is this April Bozak?"

"Yes that's me." I answered sitting up "Who's this?"

"Hi, this is Marc from Horse Shoe Tavern."

"Horse Shoe what?" I asked.

"It's a bar located in downtown Toronto." The man answered hurriedly "I believe we have your brother here a Mr. Tyler Bozak?"

"Yup that's my brother." I sighed getting out of bed.

"We have tried to convince him several times to leave, but he refuses to go unless you come and pick him up."

"I'll be right there." I said already at the front door throwing my shoes on.

I quietly closed the door behind me trying not to wake James up.

I hopped in my car getting directions to the bar off my phone before heading out onto the road.
