I wake up to the sound of the door slamming shut, the way the door slammed, I'm guessing it was Zack, and that he was angry. Was he angry with me? I hope not.. What did I do? What could I have done, in my sleep? Maybe it wasn't me. But when wasn't it me? Never. Never once has a problem with him, not been my fault. Oh well..

After a few minutes of sitting in silence, thinking about what could have set him off, loud knocking irrupted throughout the house, shattering the silent aura surrounding me. I get up, not caring whether I looked a mess or not, and walk down the stairs. I open the door, only to be greeted by an unknown man with blue-black hair. Must be one of Zack's friends. "Zack isn't here right now, if that is why you're standing here." I said, trying to be as calm as possible as my hands shook against my side and the doorknob. "I know." I gave him a confused look, raising one eyebrow slightly. "Then why are you here?" I asked, no one would come over here unless it was for Zack. "I came here to meet uh, Tyler?" The mystery man said, questioning who Tyler was. Tyler was me. "I'm Tyler." I stood, swaying from side to side, now, confused on why someone had come to meet me. Oh god, was he sent to hurt me? Kill me?

"Well, hey! I'm Josh. Uh, I know this seems kinda creepy but yeah. I heard you and Zack arguing yesterday. I don't know why but I was wondering who you were." He stated simply, acting as calm as ever. I stood for a second, thinking of a reply. I realized he was still standing outside in the heat. "Oh, come inside, please. I know you must be sweating to death out there."
