dream boy//[t.j.]

At The Studio.

tyler's pov

(y/n) left and i sat at the table alone.

why i expected her to believe i was real was beyond me. we did only see each other in dreams, after all. i didn't even know why i just assumed she was real. it was just something in my head that told me that since i was dreaming of her she was doing the same thing.

i woke up a little while after she left. i looked to my side and saw jenna laying there. i had nearly forgotten she stayed the night.

jenna and i weren't dating. she was just a fling. she always hinted at wanting more. but i couldn't give that to her when in reality i was in love with (y/n). i just had no idea how to explain that to jenna. i didn't tell anyone about the dreams. i knew i'd be deemed a nutcase.

i got out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. morning breath. i hated it.

when i made it back into the bedroom, jenna was sitting up. she looked upset. i went to sit by her.

"i have a question." she announced.

"what is it?" i asked her.

"why..why do you always put your clothes back on after we do it? like, it's kind of odd. do you just find it more comfortable to not sleep naked?" jenna asked. my cheeks heated up. the reason i put my clothes back on was because i didn't want (y/n) to see me naked. i knew she wouldn't necessarily appreciate it.

"yeah. sleeping naked is uncomfortable to me." i replied. t
i knew that wasn't why she was upset. i knew she had another question.

"i have one more question." jenna said. i knew her question before she even asked it. she asked it almost every time she stayed.

"why can't we be more? we sleep together and go out but...i-i just want more." she told me. i usually dodged the question, but i couldn't just hold her back. i couldn't give her the love and affection she deserved. i could only give her lust. and that wasn't fair to her.

"i think we should stop, jenna. i can't give you a relationship. dating just isn't for me, and i'm sorry if i led you into thinking we could be more." i told her. she looked as though she would cry, and i prayed she wouldn't. i didn't want to hurt her. i just didn't think she would want to become an item.

"i understand..i'm gonna grab my belongings and leave. i'm sorry." jenna apologized. i felt like shit right there. i broke her because i fell for someone i never met in real life, yet she was the one apologizing.

"don't apologize. it's my fault." i said. jenna put her things in her bag and turned to me.

"goodbye, tyler. i wish you and josh the best of luck with the band." she told me. and then she left.

a/n: that was low-key sad to write and i don't know why.

✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰

"so you guys are done now?" josh asked, after i explained my morning to him. i nodded.

"that sucks. i expected you guys to get together. but, i understand you don't want to date." he said.

"yeah. she's a good person don't get me wrong just..i can't give her the whole relationship thing." i replied. josh nodded.

"okay, i'm heading in the booth. i didn't like that take of fake you out, i wanna redo it." i told josh.

"alright." he said.

i headed in the booth and stood by the microphone. i wondered if (y/n) would look us up. part of me hoped so. then, even though i already believed she was real, i would have confirmation that she was. well, if she reached out to me.

"i want to drive away. in the night, headlights call my name.." i sang. josh and i didn't have many fans, but we didn't mind. the little crowd we did have was enough. we wanted to help people, whether it was five people or five million.

"i, i'll never be, be what you see inside. you say i'm not alone, but i am petrified." i wrote this song based on a conversation i had with (y/n). she told me about how she constantly faked a smile when all she wanted to do was break down. and nobody knew she was feeling that way, because she faked them out so well. i knew that exact feeling and decided to write the song.

"it's the same game today as it always is.." josh was staring at me while i was recording. he gave me a thumbs up, assuring me i sounded great. i smiled as i sang.

"i'm so afraid of what you have to say, cause i am quiet now and silence gives you space." i finished recording and hit save. i then exited the booth and walked out to josh.

"dude, you did great! your phone went off when you were in the booth. just instagram though." josh told me.

"thanks. what did instagram say?" i asked. he shrugged.

"just that someone followed you. it was some girl..i think it said (y/n)?" he informed me. my heart skipped a beat.

"no way. can you hand me my phone?" i asked him. he nodded and passed me my phone.

(y/i/n) is now following you

(y/i/n) would like to send a message.

guess she did look us up after all.
