Today had been a fun day. I never would admit how much I liked sitting with Haley watching gossip girl all day.

I kept my arm around her, holding her close; and to my pleasure she didn't seem to mind one bit. There was one point I swear we were going to kiss; but my fucking phone had to ruin it!

Despite all of this I was still skeptical about her feeling the same way as I did. I didn't want to read this the wrong way; what if she didn't? What if I was a rebound?

As much as I tried to shake the thoughts from my head I knew I couldn't. Risking losing her over something like this wasn't worth it.

Walking back into my apartment I found myself smiling at the thought of being able to spend more time with her; even though Tyler was going to be there.

I heard voices coming from the kitchen as I opened the door. It was strange for Haley to be over so early; usually she waited until I was home... Her and Tyler weren't particularly close.

"You can't keep this from him" I heard Tyler tell her. I found myself interested in what they were talking about; tell me what?

"I will tell him... But after the playoffs" she replied and I furrowed my brow even more.

"What? Why then?" Tyler asked confused. I was glad he asked.

"I don't know just- please?" She pleaded with him, making my confusion even bigger.

"Fine" he finally sighed, agreeing. "But do you promise to tell him afterwards?" He asked, an arm slung around her shoulder. I felt myself grow a little angry and a bit jealous.

"Tell me what?" I finally cut in, not being able to contain myself. I looked from Tyler to Haley, who immediately stopped talking as soon as I announced my presence. "Did I- uh- interrupt something?" I asked, rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly. I took note of Tyler's arm that still was around her shoulder.

"Oh god- uh- no, no- we were just talking" she managed to squeak out.

"How long were you standing there?" Tyler asked, the awkwardness evident in his voice. I had a sneaking suspicion there was more than meets the eye going on between the pair of them; were they dating?

"Long enough" I answered back harshly. "Instead of waiting until after the playoffs, why won't you just tell me what's going on between you two right now?" I asked, trying not to show how truly angry I was.

"Between us? Absolutely nothing" Tyler spoke up immediately. She nodded her head agreeing with him.

"I can promise you there's nothing going on between us, Jame" She assured me taking a step away from him to try and prove her point.

"Then what are you hiding from me?" I asked, my eyes switching from anger to hurt.
I felt my heart racing a million miles a minute. I was scared of what she was going to tell me.

"I- I can't tell you" She managed to blurt out in a whisper.

"So all of a sudden Tyler's more trustworthy than me?" I asked, the hurt evident in my voice.

"It's not that Jamie" she told me honestly. "I trust you more than anyone"

"Then why can't you tell me?" I asked, a little harshly. I didn't understand why all of a sudden she couldn't tell me. I was hurt, angry and disappointed.

"I'm sorry Jamie" She whispered, barely being able to look me in the eye.

"Unbelievable" I muttered. "And here I thought we were best friends" I spat harshly before walking past her abruptly and into my bedroom, slamming the door shut.

I took a moment and paced around my room, trying to catch my breath. I didn't understand what was going on with her. After everything today; after everything we'd been through since knowing each other.. And she couldn't seem to tell me what she was hiding? What was so important about the end of the playoffs that made that an appropriate time to tell me what she was hiding?

I waited for a moment, until I heard our apartment door close; Tyler was going to answer some questions whether he liked it or not.

"Tyler?" I questioned, poking my head out of my room.

"Mhm?" I heard him say with his mouth full.

"What the hell is going on? Or are you going to give me the same after playoff bullshit?" It came out a little more harshly than I had intended but I was furious; I wanted to know what was going on.

"Nothing's going on" Tyler shrugged, playing stupid.

"Don't play stupid" I shook my head, growing even more furious than I was before.

"I'm sorry but it's not my secret to tell" he informed me with a small smile.

"So all of a sudden both my best friends decide it's fun to keep shit from me?" I asked, the disappointment showing in my voice; I didn't try and hide it anymore.

"Dude, it's not that-"

"Then what is it?" I snapped back.

"I'm sorry but I can't tell you" Tyler told me, looking surprisingly sympathetic.

"Here I thought you guys were my best friends" I muttered harshly, walking back into my room.

I sat on my bed, head in my hands, wondering what the hell I ever did to deserve this.
