Ash slows the car as we approach my house. I unbuckle my seat and the door on my side opens.

"What are you, Flash?", I laugh and step out.

"I like Spiderman better but Flash works.", he shrugs. And I laugh again as we reach the porch.

"Spiderman, Spiderman does whatever a spider can.", I say dancing a little. Ash laughs and grabs my waist to stop me from dancing, pulling me close.

"Yup, he can.", he whispers in a low husky voice. I chill goes down my spine and I shiver visibly. "You cold?", he asks and pulls me closer, such that our lips were just inches apart.

"Uhhh......I....", I start but couldn't find any words.

Why, why my smart-ass little mouth? You always have a comeback ready why stop now!?

The door clicks open and I turn my head to see Zack standing by the door, still tangled with Ash. I try to step back but Ash holds on to me like his life depended on me.

"Am I interrupting something?", he asks keeping his stare on me. I open my mouth to answer but Ash beats me to it.

"What does it look like?", Ash replies matching his tone. And just like that I experienced the most intense stare down in the history of stare downs.

I clear my throat and they both turn their attention to me.

"The dinner will be in the fridge and we are in the basement.", Zack says and vanishes into the house.

"Well, I think I should take my leave too, but-", he stops mid-sentence and leans down to plant a kiss on my cheek just a centimetre or two away from my lips. It was soft and warm, the kind that shoots a thousand butterflies in your tummy. The warmness of the kiss spreads from my cheek to my whole body and a small smile tugs at my lips when he pulls back.

"Good night, Lacey.", Ash smiles and walks back to the car, always keeping his gaze on me. I stand there speechless with a goofy grin plastered on my face. By the time I come to my senses Ash was already opening the car door, I wave at him when he sits in the car and zooms out of my sight.

I walk inside the house with the smile still tugging at my lips and involuntarily a hand flies to my cheek.

"Should I set the table?", I jump at Zacks voice and notice him sitting on the staircase.

"Uhhhhh....yeah...yeah I'll just....just go change....and I'll be back.", I say and skip upstairs.

I close the door and lean on to it, just standing there for god knows how long. Finally, I push away and enter my closet to change when I notice something.

My painting! It was not standing on the easel.

I go near the window when I notice a huge blue splotch at the corner of the curtain. I take the corner in hand only to realise that it was a spot of dried paint. The one I used in the painting to be exact.

Eureka?

"Oh no no no no shit shit shit shit.", I chant running out of my room and down into the basement.

"Tyler?", I ask in a rush.

"He left after you stormed out."

"Oh no!", I say and was ready to launch myself out of the basement but crash into something hard and a pair of hands grab on my waist. The hard thing being the obvious chest of Zack.

"Why in so much hurry?", he enquires.

"I have got to meet Tyler. I was so stupid to think he would have done that! I have made a blunder. I need to talk to him, please leave me!", I beg but he doesn't let go of my waist. "Please!", I plead again.

"Why? What happened?", Ryan asks pausing the game they were playing.

"Tyler didn't ruin the painting, my curtain did. The window was open and the easel was too close to it, so the curtain must've flown to the painting. It was my fault not Tyler's. I need to apologise to him for accusing him like that.", I whine and break free from Zack's grip and make a run for the door. On my way out of the house I give a call to Tyler but he doesn't pick up. I tried at least a hundred times but he wouldn't pick up.

I pull over at Tyler's house and ring the bell once I was at the door. He opens the door, sees me and slams it back in my face.

It's okay, he is allowed to be mad at me. I accused him even though he didn't do anything.

I ring the bell once again but no one answers this time. So, I rang it continuously to irritate him and make him open the door. And it works like a charm!

He opens the door looking a wee bit annoyed. Okay, okay a lot than wee bit.

"What do you want?", he asks rudely.

"To say sorry.", I wince at his tone.

"Then say it."

"I'm sorry. Really really really sorry. I shouldn't have accused you like that. It wasn't your fault. It was the curtain and....never mind. I am really sorry. I should've known that you would never do anything like that. I should've trusted you. I am so sorry, Tyler. I really am.", I look at him and all the guilt mustered inside me dares to come out in form of tears but I try to contain them.

"Yeah, you should've trusted me.", he smiles.

"So, you forgive me.", I ask hopefully making a puppy dog face to score a little extra point.

"No.", he answers in the same cold tone as before and it drains all the blood in my body.

"Tyler I-", but he cuts me short.

"You wanted to apologise, I let you apologise. Don't expect forgiveness anytime soon.", he slams the door back in my face. Defeated I get back in the car and drive back home.

I reach the house to see Ryan and Zack sitting on the porch.

"What happened?", Ryan asks approaching me. I stir away from him and walk past Zack into the house and straight to my room.

I pull out a sticky note and write on it.

THINGS TO DO ASAP TOMMORROW

1) Tell about the painting to Alex.

2) Convince Tyler.

I change into my night dress and go to bed, ignoring the numerous knocks on my door. Sleep was a difficult business that night.

I couldn't get over the fact that somehow, I had betrayed him. I didn't trust him. I didn't take him seriously and I know that's gotta hurt. I need to make this right. I have to make this right.

A/N:

Hello amazing people!!!

First things first,

WISH YOU ALL A VERY WARM AND BLESSED HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! MAY THIS YEAR BE BETTER THAN ALL THOSE SO FAR(especially 2020 *gags*)

With the new year comes a new chapter to this book and I have to say end of 2020 has been stirring up soup over here.

Well we are halfway through and halfway more to go and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my readers for putting up with this story and supporting me whatsoever (even when I post chapters slower than sloth :| ) and all these mean a heck lot to me and I hope that all of you  will be sticking till the end of this book.

I also wanted to discuss a little about the sequel. I am thinking of making a sequel to I AM WHAATT?? and would like to know how many approveth this move. Because the ending of the story(last two three chapters to be specific) will be based on that decision so the sooner we decide, the sooner the book gets completed, the sooner we get a sequel(if any) and it would always be better. Those who approveth comment and those who don't you can comment about that too. Let the voting BEGIN!!!

Lastly the chapter name. I am kinda proud of how this chapter is named. Because as you can see that it is ironic as Lacey is not so understanding in this case. Secondly, I was gonna name it 'MISUNDERSTANDING' but then gave it a little ironic twist, because I am cool like that.  XD

LACEY: ENOUGH ALREADY WE NEED TO GO FOR A PARTY!!

ME: Ummm......you know the virus is still out there so we aren't going anywhere.

(Lacey stomps out of the room)

She is such a drama queen. I mean I couldn't have updated if  I wasn't staying at home stuffing my face!!

Anyhow.....

Enjoy the chapter, but most importantly enjoy the year ahead. If you liked the chapter then don't forget to hit that star(pretend it is 2020 *evil smirk*) and let me know what you think about it.

OH, almost forgot, can I know what ship is sailing around here?  XD

I'll take a leave for now because it was one hell of a author's note. Stay awesome!!

Peace out~
