6: Party

~Josh's point of view~

Tyler was sitting right in front of me. Watching tv. Some show I wasn't paying any attention to. I was just staring at his untouched coffee hair. Waiting for the party. Waiting for anything.

"Want to sneak into the shop?" I asked him. It slipped and I really didn't mean it. Tyler started laughing and I immediately felt insecure. "We don't have to 'sneak' into the shop. It's literally mine. I own and have the key. We can just hang out." He said and kissed my head. He walked over to his backpack and grabbed the key.

"Let's go Joshy," he replied. I got up from my couch, turned the tv off and followed Tyler. We stopped at my car and Tyler stared at me. "We are not driving." He told me. "What?" I asked. "I said 'we are not driving'. Now, let's go." He said and started to walk down the street.

I ran after Tyler. "Do you even know how far the shop is from my house?" I asked and Tyler shrugged. "If It's too long we can always stop to eat and or drink somewhere." He replied and pulled his wallet out of his pocket. "I brought money."

"But Ty I-," I started. "Shush Joshy. I wanna make you feel special. Because I love you." He said and then looked at me. "We aren't dating. I don't think we ever will. Because both of us are wimps. We're waiting for Bren or Dal to call us for the wedding. Until then we are free to do whatever." Tyler said, staring at my lips.

That's when I kissed him.

"What's up with you two?" Brendon asked as he adjusted his tie. "Brendon stop! You're messing my hard work up." Ashley yelled at him. "It's choking me." He complained. "Do you want to look perfect for Dallon?" Ashley asked Brendon. She had made him stop moving and she was serious. "O-of course I do. I want him to see me the way I see him." Brendon responded.

"He sees you like that everyday. Why do you think he wants to marry you?" Ashley said before laughing. "Plus, this is only the Rehearsal Dinner. Calm down baby," Ashley said before kissing Brendon on the cheek. "Yeah calm Bren," Ryan said.

Ryan was looking at the floor. "What's up with you Ry?" Brendon asked him. "N-nothing." Ryan responded before pushing Brendon away and walking out.

"Don't mind him," Ashley said. "Can you believe the bachelor party is only a few hours away guys?" Ashley asked and we all shook our heads. Tyler, and Ryan were going to hangout with Dallon while me, Ashley and Jenna took on Brendon.

Apparently there were more people at Brendons party than I knew. Lots of guys. Guys with shirts guys without shirts. Guys with pants. Guys without. I was uncomfortable the whole time but I couldn't find Ash or Jenna.

I started to have a panic attack, pulling at my hair and shirt. I was in a room. Someone's room. I was so uncomfortable. "Josh?" Someone called. "Joshua!??!" The bedroom door opened and I ended up pulling a clump of my hair out. It was Ashley.

"Josh!" She yelled and ran to me. "Why is your hair in your hands?" She asked and I looked at my other hand that was filled with hair too. "I-I had a panic attack." I answered.

"Oh baby no," Ashley grabbed me and hugged me tightly. "They're leaving immediately." Ashley said and grabbed me. She pulled me to the top of the stairs. "EVERYBODY GET OUT OR I'LL FEED YOU TO SATAN!" Ashley said and everybody ran. Eventually Brendon found us.

"Thank you Ashley," He thanked. "I couldn't get them to leave. At my own party. They were some high school friends. That's how it started. Then they invited people of their own and it became chaos." Brendon shook his head at the mess his mansion had become.

"Dallon would've never let this happen." Brendon noted. Then he looked at me. Better yet- my head. "What happened to your-," Brendon was nudged in the ribs by Ashley. "We need to get back to your loves." Ashley said.

"Off to my Porsche!" Brendon said looking for the keys. "SOMEONE STOLE MY PORSCHE!!" Brendon yelled. "We'll just take my BMW," Ashley said holding the keys up. Jenna popped out of nowhere. "We'd better hurry." She said.

Ashley sped to Dallons' apartment where his bachelor party was being held. When they arrived Brendon knocked on Dallon's door. "Baby?" Dallon said when he opened the door. If it were Tyler that looked like how Brendon looked. I would've been worried too.

We probably all looked like messes. My pulled out hair, my wrinkled shirt. Brendon started crying earlier. You could see the tear stains on his cheeks. Ashley's hair was always done perfect along with her make-up. Now her philosophy was thrown out the window. Her hair was thrown in a bun and her make-up was smeared everywhere. Jenna was the only one that looked normal. Although she reeked of alcohol.

"Baby," Dallon repeated and grabbed Brendon, taking him inside. Tyler looked up from the card game that he, Ryan and I assume Dallon were playing before we arrived. "Joshy?" He called to me.

He climbed on my lap. His stomach against mine and his head on my right shoulder. "You look beautiful even when you're a mess." He whispered in my ear. "Do you want to tell me what happened to your beautiful blue hair?"

I sighed, "I had a panic attack at Brendon's party." I said looking around. Ashley was snoozing off, then she'd jerk herself away and then start snoozing off again. Ryan had turned the tv on. Him and Dallon were watching it while Brendon passed out on Dallon's lap. Jenna passed out as soon as we arrived.

"I think we all did." I said, which in turn resulted in a kiss on the check form Tyler. "Well you're with me now Joshy. You'll be okay." He said and kissed the corner of my mouth.

"You're safe with me, my Joshy."
