What it would have been like..

The car is freaking fine.. How the hell did this even happen.

I don't know Tyler, do I look like a mechanic to you? Seriously. The car is the least of my concerns right now. I am going inside to check on Victoria, she's much more important than this piece of junk.

"Guys! Come on! Vicky's up." Andrea's voice was filled with relief, excitement, happiness, gratefulness, all at the same time. A few hours ago, her face was totally pale, devoid of any emotions. Now, she was just running through the entire house like a totally crazy person

Victoria's POV

"Hey! How are you now?" Questioned Ryan.

Well! Just a little lightheaded but I am good enough to kick you if you guys don't tell me what exactly did you do to make Andrea cry.

I knew you were always partial.. We are all so worried and all you can see is Andrea. She has always been your favorite, isn't it?

Well! Kol, maybe to get my attention, you are gonna have to cry a little. Serve me well and I might bless you with it.

Well! No matter whatever happens to you, I am not taking that attitude. I am not spoiling you anymore. You are already a spoilt brat and that attitude isn't gonna work here.

"Is this a way to talk to a sick person? Tyler, this is totally horrible, you could be a lot less mean. You just just don't care for me.. Since when have you been so rude? I was out for a few hours and you are so inconsiderate. I am so hurt and your words hurt me so much more than the accident. They have created a bridge between us that none of us would ever be able to cross.." I said faking tears. Yes, after all like all of them even I always had a flair for drama. Can't help it, it runs in the genes.

"Such a drama queen. You totally are dramatic. You have no idea how scared I was. I could have died of a panic attack if you didn't wake up for another minute." Andrea said while hugging me. Her eyes became watery and tears started rolling down her cheeks..

"Since when have you been so cute and adorable? Has anyone ever told you that you don't look good when you cry and don't waste these tears for me, I am not going anywhere leaving you people any soon." I said, while wiping off her tears leaving her chuckling.

"If we are done with this emotional reunion then can we just eat now or else I am gonna die right here and you wouldn't even be able to cry at my funeral since you'll waste all your tears in this only." Said Kol.

"Yea, we should really have food now. I have heard that famished souls become really very dangerous after death.. I don't wanna risk it. Let's just throw him some food and save our lives." Said Andrea.

You wanna make fun of me huh?? Not good not good. You forgot what I used to do when you made fun of me. Seems like I have to remind you huh!

Nooo! No way.. Stay away.. I swear I'll kill u and feed you to frogs.. FREAKING STAY AWAY.

Nobody could resist laughing after watching them, not even the one giving "I am cold as ice, my heart is as hard as steel" vibes. Of course, I am talking about none other than our Tyler. He was always the "I am a mute" person, of our group. He conveyed his thoughts in very few words, wasn't the one to engage in long convos and short talks were never his cup of tea. Typical introvert. He was so quiet that once someone actually considered him to be dumb. Well! That's for some other day. Even though he never says anything, doesn't show it, but he cared for everyone. He deeply cared for each one of us and today would have been hardest on him. Andrea cried her heart out, Kol let out his emotions and so did Ryan but Tyler, he..he just would have stood there. He was with everyone still completely alone. I know that feeling. All these years, I felt that too. After what happened with my parents, I push everyone away. I refuse to let anyone near me, have any emotional influence on me. I was ready to be alone because the alternative was just too depressing. That feeling of grief, all those emotions, was just too overwhelming.

None of us could stop laughing, Kol was literally tickling Andrea to death. They finally stopped after both of them were totally breathless and didn't have any more energy to continue. It was pretty obvious, not just Kol but even Andrea was enjoying it. It would have brought back so many memories. Kol always did this to Andrea when she made fun of him or annoyed him. I wonder what would have been like in their childhood. I always had them but all I considered them was some annoying cousins that I'll have to bear no matter what but they were always each other's best friends. Always. I was sometimes so jealous seeing them together, so happy but my small mind had so much going on, I had practically sworn I would never be friends with anyone because I didn't wanna lose them. I was always rude to everyone especially the four of them. Not because I hated them but because they never gave up on me, always tried to befriend me, tried to talk to me, brought me gifts. Deep down even I always loved them and wanted to be one of them, a part of the group. So I pretended to hate them hoping they would hate me too and I wouldn't have to resist myself from befriending them every time they came to talk to me but did it work? We are here, together, having fun. Ain't it?
