"Caleb?"
He meets my stare, and his face lights up with recognition.
"Pete! Wow. Well, this is kind of awkward" he chuckles.
"...yeah. I guess" I reply.
"So...how've you been?" he asks.
"Um...could be better" I admit, starting to walk with him through the aisles.
"Really? Why? What's up?" he asks.
"I just fucked up with Tyler. I just miss him, I guess. And, now that he's with Troye it just hurts"
"Oh, sorry. Is there anything I could do?" he asks.
I freeze, turning to look at him and seeing a smirk on his face.
"I could help, you know" he says, grabbing a 6-pack of beer.
"What are you talking about?"
"I never really liked Troye and Tyler being together. Plus, now that Austin dumped me again, I'm single for Troye. I liked him, and I've been thinking about him for a while" Caleb says, casually.
"O-okay...? How are we going to do it though? Aren't they, like, inseparable?"
"Look, you cheated on Tyler, right?"
"...yeah." I mumble, ashamed of my mistake.
"So, he's probably still paranoid. If we make Tyler think that Troye is cheating on him, he'll snap" Caleb says.
"...sounds like you've done this before"
"Look, they'll be happier with us" Caleb replies.
I start warming up to the idea.
I could get Tyler back, and this time I won't mess up. This could actually solve everything.
"Ok, how do we convince Ty that he's cheating?" I ask.
"That...I don't know" he sighs, turning into the next aisle.
My brain racks for ways to follow this plan through.
"Wait, do you still have any pictures of you and Troye together that no one has seen?" I ask.
His eyes light up and he pulls out his phone.
"I've got something better" he says, smirking as he shows me an old picture of them kissing. You can't tell it's an old picture, but you can tell it's Troye kissing Caleb.
"That's perfect...but, are you sure about this?" I ask, getting hesitant again.
"Of course, what's the worst that could happen? They break up and then we get back together with them. They won't be depressed or anything cause we'll be there to swoop in and distract them. That way, no one gets hurt. If they don't believe it, then we'll just come up with something else. Let's just give it a shot" he shrugs.
That's true.
I mean, what is the worst that could happen?
"Okay...let's do it"
He smiles at me before copying Tyler's number from my phone into his phone. After putting in the number, Caleb hands me the phone.
"You want to do the honor?" Caleb smirks, practically daring me to send the picture.
I nod, grabbing the phone, and taking a deep breath. My thumb hovers over the button and I know that I want to do this
What's the worst that can happen?
