Sandy looked at herself in the mirror. It was almost 6. She looked over to her dress on the bed. It was a long black velvet gown that her mother used to wear. She picked it up from off the bed and posed with it in the full length mirror. As she slipped it on, she saw how comfortable it fit on her. Sandy laughed, twirling around in the dress.
She carefully applied her makeup. Her eyelashes touched her thick framed glasses as she pushed them back onto her face. Her lips were ruby red from her lipstick. Sandy smiled widely in the mirror.
Arthur watched as she got ready. He told previously that she could. God, did she look marvelous. Arthur watched her move.
Sandy caught Arthur staring at her through the doorway of the bedroom.
She smirked. "See something you like?"
Arthur blushed, looking away. "Uhh, yeah. Just you."
Sandy giggled at his boyish behavior. She looked over at the clock.
"Oh shit. It's 6. I'm heading out, Artie." Sandy kissed Arthur on his cheek.
He grabbed ahold of her hand. "Just be safe, please."
Sandy smiled, sweetly kissing his lips. "I will dear."
Arthur watched as she went out the door. His heart beated loudly in his chest. Arthur turned off the TV, heading out of his apartment.
Sandy's heels clicked on the pavement as she walked towards Dee's car.
"Sandy!" Dee yelled, excitedly. Her smile was wide with her dimples spreading ear to ear.
Dee pulled Sandy into a tight hug.
Sandy smiled, giving in to the hug. "Hey, Dee. How are you?"
"Oh, I'm just fantastic. Have you met my boyfriend, Doug?" Dee said, as a very tall man in a black suit emerged out of the car.
Sandy shook her head. "No, I don't think I have."
The man named 'Doug' grinned. "I don't think I have neither. Very nice to meet you, Sammy."
Sandy huffed. "It's Sandy."
"Oh, right, sorry." Doug falsely apologized.
Sandy rolled her eyes and got in the car.
The three of them rode down to Wayne Hall. Protesters in clown masks and makeup were yelling and screaming from left and right. Sandy looked around at the chaos, smiling a little bit.
"Look at this, Dee. Our city's in peril. I hope the asshole that caused this goes to hell." Doug rambled, behind the wheel.
Sandy turned her head towards Doug. "Funny you say that, Doug. I'm pretty sure the people outside would definitely love to hear you opinion on the matter." She remarked.
Doug glared at Sandy through the rear view window.
"We're here." Dee said, trying to cut the tension.
The three of them got out of the car. Sandy was still infatuated with the protest behind her. It gave her hope. She noticed someone sneaking off out of the crowd. It looked like a familiar yellow jacket.
"Hey, Sandy. You coming?" Dee called, pulling Sandy out of her thoughts.
Sandy backed up, blinking a little bit. "Uhh, yeah." She turned around and followed Dee into the bar.
It was a very elegant looking bar. The red lighting matched the velvet booths in the bar. Sandy looked around. There was a lot of older gentleman alongside very scandalous women. Sandy sat down at the booth.
"I'll take a dry martini, please." Dee told the waiter.
"Whiskey on the rocks." Doug ordered, taking out an expensive looking cigar.
Sandy raised her eyebrow at Doug. "I'll take a cherry cola."
"Really, Sandy? Come on. Live a little. Here I'll order you a chardonnay." Dee said, signaling towards the waiter.
"No, Dee. I'm cutting back on drinking. I already have a bad smoking habit. I don't need to add alcohol to that." Sandy said, leaning back in the booth.
"Alright, whatever you say." Dee rolled her eyes, teasing.
Sandy crossed her arms. Despite just getting here, Sandy already felt tired of babysitting them.
After a while, lots of the protesters swarmed inside the bar.
Doug, after having a total of five drinks, drunkenly stood up, yelling in their faces.
"Listen here, you fucking scum, ya got ten seconds to get out of my bar." Doug slurred, standing dangerously close to a protester's face.
"You got a problem, buddy?" The protester said, pushing Doug back.
"Yeah, you are." Doug pushed back.
Dee drunkenly stood up as well. "Yeah, you fucking tell him, babe."
Sandy watched in horror, dragging Dee back to her seat.
"Oh, yeah, well watch this tough guy." The protester took out a gun, shooting Doug in the face.
Dee and Sandy screamed, ducking under the table. Soon, a bar fight broke out between the protesters and the old gentleman at the bar.
Dee was hyperventilating. "What the fuck?!"
Sandy looked at Dee, putting her hands on her shoulders. "Calm down, Dee. We have to get out of her." Sandy calmly stated.
"What about Doug?" Dee exclaimed.
"He'll be fine. Just hand me the keys." Sandy grabbed on Dee's hand and ran outside the bar.
Sandy grabbed the keys from Dee and revved up the car. More protesters were yelling out on the streets. Sandy pulled out from the parking space, denting a few cars in the process, before driving off.
Sandy sighed in relief as they got away from the scene. She pulled over to her apartment building. She looked over to Dee, who was quivering in the front seat. Sandy, then, looked down under the seat for a pack of cigarettes. When she found some, Sandy stuck one in her mouth, getting lipstick all over it, and pressing the car's cigarette lighter.
Dee looked terrified at Sandy. "How can you be so calm in a situation like this? My boyfriend just got murdered."
Sandy looked over at Dee, again. She grabbed the cigarette lighter, lighting her cigarette, then blowing smoke out her nose.
"How long did you know your boyfriend?" Sandy asked, deflecting Dee's question.
"Well, a few weeks." Dee said, crossing her arms. "What does that have to do with anything?"
Sandy laughed. "A few weeks, huh? Was it before or after he paid you?"
Dee turned her head away from Sandy. "It was after. Ok? God, why are you being such a mega bitch?" Dee threw her hands in the air dramatically.
Sandy continued to laugh. She inhaled another drag from the cigarette. Slowly, her laughter subsided. "My heels broken. I should probably go home." Sandy said, blankly.
Dee eyed at Sandy's behavior. "Sandy, are you ok?"
Sandy smiled at Dee. "To be honest, I thought this night was gonna be a bust, but as it turns out, I feel fantastic."
She handed the keys to Dee as she got out of the car.
"I'm sorry about your boyfriend. I'm sure you can find another one that pays more." Sandy yelled, walking into her building.
Dee glared at Sandy as she walked away.
Sandy limped up to Arthur's apartment. She knocked on the door. To her surprise, the door was unlocked.
"Arthur?" She called.
Sandy looked around in the bed, then slowly moving to the kitchen. She noticed shelves and food were all over the floor. Gently, she opened the refrigerator door.
Arthur cradled himself, not wanting to face Sandy.
"Hey, Artie." Sandy spoke softly. "Why don't you come on out?"
Arthur gave no response.
"Please, Art?" Sandy put her hands on his knee.
Arthur looked over at Sandy, and grabbed ahold of her shoulders, sobbing into her.
Sandy petted his hair, whispering sweet nothings in his ear.
"Let me draw you a bath, dear." Sandy kissed Arthur's cheek, before getting off of the kitchen floor.
"Why are you so nice to me?" Arthur asked, pitifully. "All you've been is sweet and kind. I just don't get it."
Sandy lifted Arthur from the ground. "I love you, Arthur. Is that what you don't understand?" Sandy hugged Arthur's fragile body. He melted into the hug, feeling Sandy's warmth.
"I just don't understand how an angel like you could love a guy like me." Arthur mumbled, slumping into her neck.
Sandy smiled, rubbing Arthur's exposed back. "Come on, dear. I've got a warm bath waiting for you."
Arthur peeled off his remaining clothes, slipped into the bathtub. Sandy was still in the bathroom, looking for some type of body wash. As she turned around, she saw Arthur's nude body in the tub. Sandy blushed, slightly, kneeling down to his level.
"Is there anything I can get you?" Sandy asked, maintaining eye contact.
"Yeah, could you stay?" Arthur's eyes pierced into Sandy.
She was almost about to decline, but something in her said yes. She nodded, staying in her position on the floor.
"So, how was the rally?" Sandy asked, nervously. She gulped, trying not to lead her mind down south.
Arthur looked at Sandy. "It was fine." He mumbled. Arthur noticed blood on Sandy's lip. He lifted her chin, touching the busted lip.
Sandy hissed in pain. "Ah, fuck."
Arthur's eyes went wide, letting go of her chin. "What happened?" Arthur asked, concerned.
"It's nothing, dear." Sandy answered, reassuringly.
Arthur frowned at her response, but didn't want to push it further.
"I did like the way you lifted my chin." Sandy smirked. She ran her fingers across his jawline, lifting Arthur's chin up. "Just like that." Sandy whispered seductively.
Arthur melted at the touch, holding onto Sandy's hand.
"It almost makes me want to join you in the tub." Sandy giggled, splashing Arthur a little.
Arthur nodded his head. "I'd like that." He whispered.
Sandy blushed, standing up to unbutton her dress. After unbuttoning it, she placed it on the towel rack behind her. She unclasped her bra, which fell to the floor. Sandy peeled off any other clothes left remaining on her body, and stepped in the tub with Arthur.
Arthur admired Sandy, as she laid on the opposite side of the tub. Arthur smiled at her. Sandy turned away, blushing.
Arthur leaned over and pulled Sandy closer towards him. Before Sandy could speak, she was already straddling Arthur's thin waist under her thick thighs.
She cleared her throat. Sandy felt Arthur's arms sneak around her waist, keeping her upright.
Arthur sat up and rested his chin on Sandy's shoulder. She relaxed into his touch.
"Sandy?" Arthur whispered.
"Yeah?" Sandy whispered back.
"Can I touch you?" Arthur asked, griping onto Sandy's waist.
Her eyes widened. "Touch me where?" Sandy questioned, putting her hands on Arthur's chest.
"Everywhere." Arthur said, softly putting his lips on her neck. Sandy gasped, nodding at his request.
Water spilled out the bathtub as Sandy grinded onto Arthur. He tilted his head back into the bathtub and moaned. He kissed Sandy's neck, feeling himself inside her. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head, biting her bruised lip.
"Artie." She whispered, moaning.
Arthur went in deeper, keeping a grip on her thighs. Sandy tugged on his hair, warranting a moan from Arthur.
Arthur came before Sandy, yet staying inside her. Once Sandy came to her close, she fell on top of Arthur, laying on her chest.

@thegirlwithnonickname here are chapter two and three of Always by your side!
I still remember how I wrote chapter three... sitting in my bed listening to "Grow Old With Me" by Michael Schulte on repeat and crying xD I can really recommend that song, it fits the story and especially chapter three very well!
.
Chapter 2
Tyler lay down and took his phone from the bedside table. He dialed Lucas number. Even though it was already pretty late he answered immediately. As usual.
'Hey.'
Tyler closed his eyes. 'Hello Lucas.'
For a moment there was silence. But than Lucas started to talk again.
'They're fighting again, am I right?'
Tyler nodded. He could hear them downstairs.
'Yes', he whispered. Lucas sighed.
'What's the reason this time?'
Tyler clutched to his phone.
'I don't think they need a reason anymore. Especially dad.'
'Damn. Do you want me to come over?'
Tyler shook his head.
'Don't be silly, it's the middle of the night.'
"So what? I can sneak out.'
Tyler wouldn't doubt that. It wouldn't be the first time.
'You don't have to come over.'
'Sure?'
'Yes.'
'Okay, when you think so... Hey, have you heard...'
He started talking about some story he heard in school or on the internet or somewhere else.
He didn't care if the story was true or not. He was just talking.
And Tyler didn't care either, as long as he heard Lucas voice.
It was calm and familiar. That always calmed Tyler down.
After some time Lucas stopped and asked: 'Is everything alright now?'
Tyler took a deep breath. "Yeah everything's alright.'
'Good. Good night Ty.'
'Good night Lucas.'
That's how it went everytime. When Tyler's parents were fighting late at night Tyler called Lucas. Then they talked until Tyler could forget about his fighting parents.
No matter to what hour, Lucas was always there. Tyler would often flee to Lucas and his family when the situation at home was too much for him to take.
And especially when he was a young boy his mom used to send him over to Lucas home when she knew that her husband would start a fight again. She didn't wanted her son to see that. And she knew that Tyler was in good hands when he was with Lucas family.
He was always welcomed there.
~~~
As Tyler walked down the stairs he could hear his mother talking to someone. His father was at work, so that probably meant she had a guest.
Tyler hesitated. He didn't really feel like having company right now.
But suddenly he recognized the second voice - it was Lucas mother.
Tyler walked down a few steps so he could hear the two women talking.
He sat down at one of the stairs so they wouldn't see him and started to listen.
'... really strong, you and your husband.'
'We... we try our best. It's hard. But we try.'
Lucas mom sounded like she had cried. It reminded Tyler of her call on the day Lucas had died.
Just thinking about that made him wanna go back to his room.
'Say, how is Tyler doing?'
Tyler froze as he heard his name.
'He's not feeling good. The boy hasn't really left his room since Lucas funeral. Sometimes I hear him cry, late at night... It's really hard for him.'
'The poor boy. It would've break Lucas heart. Tyler was his best friend.'
'And Lucas was Tyler's best friend.'
Tyler stood up and walked down the rest of the steps.
'And he'll always be my best friend', he said.
The two women looked at him in surprise.
'Tyler', they both said.
Lucas mom stood up, walked towards him and hugged him.
"It's nice to see you Tyler.' She smiled. It was a sad smile.
'Sit down darling', his mother said.
Tyler took a seat and Lucas mom sat down as well.
Tyler's mother brought them a cup of tea.
'I'll leave you alone.' Then she left the room.
Lucas mother took a sip of her coffee. Then she looked at Tyler.
'I'm here because I wanted to thank you. For your speech. I didn't had the chance to do it at the... at Lucas funeral.'
Tyler could remember his speech. He had to stop halfways because he started to cry. In front of the whole community.
'Lucas deserved a way better speech.'
'Don't say that Tyler. It was beautiful. Lucas would've liked it.'
Tyler wasn't sure about that.
'I should've finished it.'
He was still angry about it. Lucas would've ended the speech. He was strong. Tyler wasn't.
Lucas mother shook her head. 'What's important is what you said, not whether you finished it or not. It was really important for us. That's why I want to thank you.'
'You don't have to. He was my best friend. It was the least I could do.'
Lucas mom smiled. 'Yeah... My little boy... he always wanted siblings, did you know that? He used to ask me when he'll finally get a little brother.'
The memory made her laugh. It sounded a bit like Lucas laugh. Tyler missed it...
'He always wanted someone he could play with. Someone he could protect. He never stopped to ask me. That's it, until he met you. Since he befriended you he never asked again. I think... he had you and that was all he needed.'
She took Tyler's hand. 'He really loved you. You were like a brother to him. You know, I'm really glad that you and Lucas found each other.'
'I am glad too. Really. I...' He stopped.
There was so much he wanted to tell her. He wanted to say how important Lucas was to him. How thankful Tyler was for everything he had done for him. That he changed his life. That he showed him what friendship meant. And he wanted to tell her how much he missed Lucas.
But as Tyler looked at Lucas mom he suddenly realized there's no need to say all this out loud. She knew.
She let go of his hand and stood up.
'I have to go now. My husband is waiting for me. Thanks for your time.'
She smiled at Tyler's mom, who just came back into the room.
'I'll bring you to the door', his mom said.
'Okay. Goodbye Tyler.'
Tyler stood up and said goodbye as well.
'Wait, I almost forgot. There's something I wanted to give you.'
She searched her purse for a small object and gave it to him. As he looked at it he knew what it was. He couldn't believe his eyes.
'That's... that's...'
'Lucas bracelet.' Lucas mother nodded.
'I can't accept this...'
The little item in his hand was really the leathern bracelet Lucas used to wear. He already owned it when Tyler met him. Lucas loved the bracelet.
It was a gift from his late grandfather. It was something special to him. And a huge keepsake.
'Yes, you can. Lucas would've wanted you to have it. I know you'll take good care of it.'
She closed his hand around the bracelet and hugged him again. Then she left.
Tyler stood alone in the kitchen. He opened his hand and looked at the bracelet.
It felt like a piece of Lucas came back to him.
And he swore he would never let it go.
.
Chapter 3
'Come on, Tyler. Get out of there', his mom called.
But ten years old Tyler refused to leave his hideout. He was lying in his bed, the blanket raised over his head. He knew it was childish. He didn't care.
'I don't want to.'
Today was the first day at the new school and Tyler didn't want to go. He was scared. Because a new school meant new people and a lot of changes. He hated changes.
'But you have to. Otherwise you'll be late for school.'
Tyler ignored his mom's words. But suddenly a second voice caught his attention.
'Yeah she's right! We'll be late!'
Tyler recognized it immediately.
'Lucas?'
The other boy made his way to Tyler's bed and lifted the blanket a bit to get a look at his friend.
'Yeah it's me. I've been waiting for you, buddy. It's our big day today! Why are you hiding?'
No answer. Lucas sighed.
'Let me guess. It's about school isn't it? I promise you, it will be fun! You don't need to worry.'
'But... I am worried, Lucas. All the new teachers and classmates...'
Lucas was an optimist. Where Tyler only thought about the negative things, Lucas saw what was good. And he tried to let Tyler see it too.
'... won't harm you. Come on Ty, we can't stay in elementary school forever. Sure, there are new people. Some things may change, but that's not a bad thing. Just think about all the new things we'll learn!'
That was one of the reasons Tyler was glad to have him as a friend.
'Besides, you're not alone there! We're in the same class, remember? I'm with you. That won't change. We'll get through it together. We're partners, right?'
Tyler peered from under his blanket to look at Lucas, who was smiling at him. And he returned the smile, because he knew that Lucas was right after all.
No matter what might happen. No matter what might change. He wasn't alone. His friend was there. They were a team.
'Then let's go, partner!' Tyler, now a little less scared, finally got out of his hideout.
'That's what I wanted to hear.', Lucas said.
Tyler's mom once said that one of the most beautiful things about Lucas and Tyler's friendship was how they were always there for each other and how they complemented the other perfectly.
Lucas had enough joy living inside of him to lift Tyler up when he was feeling down and Tyler's steady personality calmed Lucas down when he overextended himself.
~~~
As Tyler went into the school building, he almost felt like back when he had his first day at this school. Everything seemed strange and exclusive. The many students, the colorless walls and the noise.
But this time he was alone. Lucas wasn't there to make him feel safe.
Tyler had begged his parents to let him stay at home for another few days. But they said no, so he had to go.
He felt completely overstrained. He spent the last few days alone without talking to someone besides his parents and Lucas mom.
Now that he was surrounded by people again, he was lost.
It wasn't just that he was alone, everyone was starring at him too. Everyone knew about Lucas. And everyone knew that Tyler was his best friend.
So everyone was looking at the guy who just lost his only real friend.
It must've been a strange sight. Tyler had the hood of his hoddie pulled down low to cover up his insomnia and grief marked face and to block everyone out.
But the strangest thing was to see him without Lucas.
Even in school there had always been Lucas and Tyler, Tyler and Lucas. Everyone knew that. The people were used to see the two of them together all the time.
Tyler without Lucas however... That wasn't normal.
And for Tyler it was a nightmare.
He struggled to get through the lessons. He never said a word. All he did was sitting in his classes, lost in thought, playing with Lucas bracelet around his wrist and starring at the blackboard. He couldn't recognize a single word that was said during the lessons.
He couldn't focus. Tyler just wanted to escape.
He could do without the trivial lessons and the pitiful glances of teachers and students.
~~~
'Tyler! Hey! Wait! Tyler!'
Tyler kept walking. All he wanted to do is survive the break and the lessons afterwards so he can go home again. Was it that much to ask for?
'Come on, wait! Hey!'
Someone grabbed his arm. Tyler stopped and turned around. It was Maya.
'What do you want?'
Maya was one of the people Lucas and Tyler spent their breaks with.
It was a small group of people that started to gather around the two boys in the past few years.
Slightly shocked by the rough sound of Tyler's voice Maya let go of his arm.
'I-I just wanted to ask you where you're going. Surely our friends are already waiting. We normally meet every break, remember?'
Actually Maya and the others were Lucas friends, not his. Because everyone loved Lucas. And they accepted Tyler, but he was never a real part of their group. Or at least it never felt like it. He never felt really close to any of them.
'Well, go and meet your friends then. I prefer being alone.'
'But why don't you wanna come with us? I'm sure it would be good for you to have some company. Lucas would've wanted...'
'Don't you tell me what Lucas would have wanted!', Tyler cut her off.
Maya flinched.
'Tyler...'
But Tyler wasn't listening.
'No! I can't sit there with you as if everything is alright. Because it's not! Maybe you can do it, laughing and talking like you always do. But I can't. Not when Lucas is gone and you all are acting as if everything is like it used to be. Nothing is like it used to be anymore."
Tyler didn't noticed that he overacted. He was just full of anger and frustration. It was all too much for him. And he wasn't able to control himself, not yet.
'That's not true Tyler, and you know it! Of course nothing is like it used to be. Lucas is dead and that's horrible! And we all miss him so much. You might not think that, but we do! Just because we still meet up doesn't mean we forgot about him or that he wasn't important to us. In contrary! Because he was. And he'll always be. But life has to go on Tyler. Please, I just mean well.'
Maya sighed.
'Listen, I know you two were pretty close to each other. You knew him longer than any of us. And I know how you feel. But what you just said about us isn't fair.'
'Leave me alone!', Tyler shouted. 'You know nothing!'
'He was my friend too. Our friend. You're not the only one who lost him.'
'Not the only one, huh? Not the only one! But he was my only friend, understand? The only one I ever had. My best friend! For nine years! Nine damn years.
You haven't spent nearly every day with him since you were eight years old. He never visited you as you broke your leg because you fell from a tree while climbing or tried to comfort you because your parents were fighting again.
He was always there. And now he's gone and I'm alone! I'm alone...'
His last words were just a whisper. Tyler felt how tears started streaming down his face. He couldn't tell if it was because of anger or grief or both. All he knew was that he had to leave. Leave this horrible school.
So he wiped of his tears, turned around and ran.
Away from the school building, past hundreds of students. No one stopped him. Maya stayed behind. Speechless.
~~~
'Lucas?'
'Yeah?'
'We'll always be friends, won't we?'
'Of course!'
'No matter what's gonna happen?'
'No matter what's gonna happen.'
'Even when we're adults?'
'Even when we're old and grey. You and I. Till the end.'
'Promise?'
'Promise!'
~~~
The last time Tyler visited Lucas and his spot was on the day Lucas died. He never dared to visit it afterwards. Until now.
After he ran away from school he got back to this place. He and Lucas used to be there a lot.
Tyler didn't knew where else to go. He couldn't go back to school. Or home.
This was the only place he could be alone. No one would notice his breakdown. Or hear his screams.
'You promised! You hear me? Promised! You said... you said you and I... we... you said...'
Tyler thought they had a lot of time left. Their whole lives. After all they would always be friends. They would always be there for each other. No matter what. That's what they promised each other.
But fate didn’t seem to care about little boys’ promises.
'Why? Why you of all peolpe?'
Tyler sat down on the floor, his back against a large rock.
Slowly his anger turned back into the familiar feeling of grief and despair.
Suddenly he just felt... exhausted. So he closed his eyes for a while.
As he was sitting there, eyes closed, he had the sudden feeling that he wasn't alone.
But that was impossible. No one ever came here. Still, it felt like someone... or something was with him.
So he opened his eyes and what he saw shocked him. There was indeed someone. Right in front of him. And he watched him with concern.
Tyler recognized his face immediately. This face - He would know it in death.
But... that wasn't possible.
'Lucas?'
