Song: Just Another Girl by The Killers

-------------------------------------------

Tyler's P.O.V

Cannon sits on the edge of the barstool, his legs hanging off the edge of the seat. He shovels a few spoons of cereal into his mouth before he turns to me with a smile, milk dripping from his chin.

"Are you going to marry Dree?"

I choke on my toast at the sudden question and look at him with wide eyes. "What?"

"Do you like Dree?"

"No." I rush out, my eyes shifting around the room until I notice a really interesting apple. "Why do you ask?" I mutter.

"I like her." My head snaps to Cannon and my eyes widen in shock.

"What?"

Cannon looks down at his cereal and smiles at his corn flakes, "If you don't marry her, I will." He says before sliding off the seat and walking off towards his room.

"Oh."

I drive to Shrimp's house and park outside of her door. My knee bounces up and down. Why the hell am I nervous? It's just shrimp. I watch as a flustered looking girl swings open the door and runs outside, a pair of shoes in her hand.

Shrimp's hair is tangled and messy and her clothes are wrinkled. I hold back a laugh as I realize she had just woken up. She runs around my Jeep and hops in the passenger door, quickly buckling herself in and looking at me with tired eyes and a small smile.

"Mornin' Solo," Her voice is tired and drawn. I look at her big brown eyes, noticing how they were darker than normal. The freckles that scatter her cheeks scrunch up as she sniffs. Her face looked softer today, less annoying.

I watch as she reaches over and turns the radio on, her eyebrows knit together in concentration.

"You look terrible" I blurt out and my cheeks redden at how stupid I sound.

She laughs a soft, melodic laugh and my eyes widen, snapping back to the road.

"You're so annoying." I mutter under my breath, trying to calm my beating heart. I turn to Audrey, expecting her to be frowning at me but when I turn to look at her she just warmly smiles at me. Why is she so happy? I just called her annoying.

I frown, frustrated at her all of a sudden. Why does she look at me like that? Why do I feel this way?

Maybe it was indigestion, or maybe this was what kidney stones felt like. Whatever it was, I didn't like the feeling. I didn't know what to do with it.

Today was going to be especially awful. I could feel it.

Even as I glanced at Shrimp from the corner of my eye.
