"Mmf..." Tyler mumbles, half-asleep still. 

Soon he startles awake. 

"Hey! Josh! Get off of me!" he complains, trying to shove his fren's body off of him. 

"Wh-what?" Josh asks sleepily.

"Get. Off. Me," Tyler tells him, to tired to try and process anything. 

"Oh..." Josh says, rolling back over. "Sorry."

"Are you laughing?" 

"No," Josh says. "I-no..." 

He immediately starts cracking up. 

"What-" Tyler can barely keep himself from laughing. "What's so funny?" 

"I don't know," Josh says. "Nothing. Everything." 

"Well evertyhing better stop-" Tyler finds himself laughing even harder. -"Being funny. I'm trying to sleep." 

"Are you now?" Josh asks, but in a wierdly loud whisper. 

"Y-" Tyler finds himself laughing hysterically. "Ye-yes I am." 

"Well that's too bad," Josh says. "Because you woke me up and now I'm not ried." 

"You literally invaded my personal space! That's the only reason I'm alive right now!" 

"Did you mean awake?" Josh asks. 

"That's what I said."

"No-you...never mind," Josh says. 

"I'm tired," Tyler says, sighing. 

"Then go to sleep," Josh suggests. 

"I can't. You keep talking," Tyler says. 

"So do you," Josh points out. 

"You're impossible," Tyler says, yawning. 

"Love you too," Josh says. 

Tyler honestly can't remember the last time anyone told him that. 

It makes him feel something. 

Something nice and warm. 

"Are you crying?" Josh asks suddenly. 

"Wha-no..." he protests weakly. "OKay. Yes. You're gonna kill my heart with all those nice feelings." 

"That's-that's nice," he thinks Josh says a second later. 

Pretty soon his fren is asleep. 

Tyler sighs. 

Then he barely bits back a scream. 

"What were you two doing in there?" a familiar voice asks. 

Once his heart rate returns to normal he says, "J-jenna? Is that you?" 

"Yes it's me," she says. "Who else?" 

"I-I don't know," Tyler says, not willing to admit he had been scared for a moment, scared that smoething dangerous was crawling out in the dark. 

"Anyway," she says. "I got lonely. And cold. And I can't sleep." 

Join the club, Tyler thinks.

Out loud he says, "Well. there isn't that much room-" 

"If we kicked Josh out there would be more." 

"Yeah, but I don't see him taking kindly to that idea," Tyler says. 

"Fair enough," Jenna says. 

Pretty soon Tyler finds himself falling asleep.

Peace. 

Yes. 

Those he loves bring him peace. 

He just hopes it will last...

Hopes and prays until he's not aware of anything else-

And the darkness claims him once more.
