CHAPTER FØUR
Stanley side-eyed Johnathan as they trekked back down the hill, Clancy stood at the bottom and watched as they made their way to him. "Has the threat been resolved?" Tyler perked up looking at him, "no threat just a misunderstanding sir" Stanley furrowed his eyebrows at them. "Misunderstanding?" he hugged himself realizing how chilly in was in the trees, John nodding to them, as they passed Clancy narrowed eyes at Tyler. "Now that everything has settled we need to discuss how people are recruited, you know how jackets are made Tyler" he stated sternly but unmenacingly, he just wanted his traditional ways; Tyler wrapped his arm around Stanleys shoulders giving a half smile, "I know, and we will give him what he deserves". He led Stanley across the clearing, people glared at them but Stanley didn't understand why, he shift his gaze behind him to see Johnathan meekly looking around at everyone. Stanley scoffs at John as Tyler shakes him a bit jarring his vision. Clancy whistles a tune just out of view of Stanley, the camp seemed to paused and line up on command. A teenage boy bolted through them with a olive green jacket, same as the rest of the soldiers though it was bare of any yellow. Stanley took it in his hands looking back at Tyler as he released his shoulders, "It's time Stan". Everyone passed around a roll of yellow tape like they were a machine, working together. Tyler nodded at the jacket "put in on" Stanley slid it on and it fit perfectly. Like he was meant to wear it, he started to walk between them his breath unsteady; Stanley flinched as the first person roughly placed tape around his shoulder. As he looked around he realized they were smiling at him, a woman placed yellow flowers around his neck as they continued to place tape on him. Before he knew it yellow pedals flew around him, he turned around smiling at Tyler, Tyler smiled warmly at him, a large smile. Stanley was caught off guard, he seen him smile in the short time he's known him but not this wide, he's never seen him this bright. He walked farther down and as people the people placed the tape on him they patted him, they nodded at him. He spun around, watching the flowers, Clancy slid up beside Tyler. He talked fast and low, Stanley didn't know what he said but Tyler's expression changed from cheerful to panicked. His chest rose and fell frantically as he ran into the array of tents, past Stanley and the soldiers. He tried to run after him but the crowd closed in, cheering and saying his name. He couldn't hear any of them, maybe he chose not to as he zeroed in on Tyler. He tried to get away but his vision became obstructed with blurs of yellow, "TYLER!, TYLER!" a woman tucked a yellow flower behind his ear. "Don't worry he's ok" a girl smiled as she whispered in Stanley's ear, he glared at her as she took his hand and lead him away.
Tyler bolted into the medic tent, frantically glanced around until his eyes landed on a blonde haired woman wrapped in bandages and blankets. "Jenna?, Jen?" he whisper yelled as he approached her, "Jenna" his voice slightly louder as he stood at her side. She furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at him, "I thought you were to busy for me" she sneered as she turned her head away from him. Tyler was dumbfounded, she called him here to talk to him; he looked at her band before taking it into his "I wanted you to rest... they told me you were awake and-" she jerked slightly away "I've been awake two hours Tyler, I've asked for you for two hours". He released her hand rubbing the back of his head, "I've been with Clancy, you know I have to-" she laughed sarcastically "Clancy?, Clancy?, don't lie to me you've been with that kid" she gritted her teeth "it hasn't even been a day and people are talking about the way you gleam while you're around him or nervous when he's close to you, you're infatuated with him". Tyler furrowed his brows, confusion took over his clear thoughts "are you saying you think I love Stanley?, he's a child" Jenna whispered under her breath "Stanley" she sat up slowly, hunching over as she breathed slowly. "You're not in love with him, you're in love with what he could do" she took a sharp breath "not just for you, but for Trench, he hasn't been here long but he blends right it with us". Jenna took his hand and squeezed tight, "go, take down Nico, and when I'm out of bed I'll join the fight again", Tyler knelt down and placed a kiss upon her head.
"Make me proud Tyler, make us all proud okay?"
